This invention relates to an improved inorganic fiber mat useful inter alia as a felt for roofing products, such as asphalt shingles. The invention further relates to a process and apparatus for making such an inorganic fiber mat or sheet containing mineral wool or a combination of mineral wool and other fibers, such as fiberglass, whereby greatly improved properties are attained by use of a novel cleaning system for the mineral wool fiber.
In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the use of inorganic fiberglass mat in place of the conventional organic felt base, made traditionally of cellulosic fibers, in the preparation of roof and floor sealing products. The terms "fiberglass" and "glass fiber", as used herein, refer to fibers of silica materials which are formed through an extrusion process. Such fibers are generally of uniform diameter and relatively free of non-fibrous contaminants. In order to form a fiberglass mat, a "wet-laid" process is often used whereby the glass fibers are mixed with water to form a relatively thick slurry, which is then fed to a dispersion tank. The slurry is diluted in the dispersion tank with water, and optionally with a small quantity of a dispersing agent to facilitate the separation of the fibers. The slurry is mixed in the dispersion tank to form a relatively uniform mixture. The mixture is pumped to a head box, which lays a uniform dispersion on a moving screen to form the glass mat. Water is suctioned through the forming wire into the machine white water tank, from which it is recycled in the process. Unlike cellulosic fibers which are self-adhering upon wetting, glass or any inorganic fibers require an organic resin binder to form a mat useful for conversion into roofing products. As such, the glass or inorganic fiber layer as formed on the screen is thereafter impregnated with a binder, such as a urea formaldehyde or a urea formaldehyde-latex blend. Other binder systems can be used as needed for various products selected by those skilled in the art.
While fiberglass does produce a fiber mat having excellent tensile strength, flexibility, and dimensional stability, glass fiber is relatively expensive to manufacture, especially in view of recent increases in the cost of energy. It would, therefore, be desirable to utilize substitute inorganic raw materials which can be fiberized and have characteristics similar to those of fiberglass, but which are less costly. It has long been known that mineral fibers can be prepared from various silicate based inorganic raw materials using a process in which the raw material in molten form is "blown" or "spun" into fibers. These products are commonly referred to as "mineral wool", which is a generic term for various mineral fibrous materials commonly known as "rock wool", "slag wool" and "glass wool". Rock wool is made from natural rock or combinations of natural minerals; slag wool is derived from iron, copper or lead blast furnace slag; and glass wool is made from conventional glass batch materials such as silica, sand, soda ash or borax, dolomite, and minor ingredients.
While mineral wool is prepared in a fibrous form, its applications are limited as compared with fiberglass since by known methods for preparing mineral wool, it has a substantial content of non-fibrous contaminants in the form of grit, sand, large shot, and fines. Typical mineral wool contains up to about 30-60% of such contaminants. In addition, the fibers themselves have random diameter distribution and tend to have pieces of shot adhered at the end of the fibers.
The non-fibrous or particulate contaminant materials are undesirable because they reduce the mechanical strength of the mineral wool. Moreover, the particulate material can be so fine as to become air-borne as dust, and become distributed over a wide area. Since the dust can cause skin irritation and other injuries, particularly if inhaled, this can pose a considerable problem during conversion of mineral wool into other useful products. Consequently, it is desirable that the non-fibrous contaminants be removed, but this has heretofore been difficult to accomplish. Since the contaminant material is made of the same material as the fibers, the contaminants cannot be dissolved out, nor does a sufficient amount of the contaminants have a different density as compared to the fibrous material which would facilitate satisfactory separation by other techniques. Moreover, the brittleness of the fiber precludes any relatively rough treatment which might cause the fibers to be crushed, broken or otherwise destroyed.
Accordingly, the relatively "dirty" mineral wool heretofore known in the art is at best a poor substitute for glass fiber, and, as such, its primary use has been in batt form as insulation. Prior attempts to incorporate mineral wool in anything but a minor proportion in other fibrous based products, such as roofing felt, have been unsatisfactory. More specifically, with regard to roofing products, the large proportion of shot and other contaminants (which are of a different configuration than the fiber), as well as the relatively brittle nature of the fibers, result in a mat or sheet having a lower tensile strength since the adhered shot in the fiber portion causes an overall weakening. In a conventional commercial wet-laid process for preparing a mat from mineral wool, the high degree of contaminants interferes with the binder such that proper bonding of the fibers is not satisfactorily achieved. The non-fibrous contaminants are carried along with the machine water during recycling and foul the processing equipment, particularly the mat forming wire or screen, thus necessitating frequent shut downs, cleaning, and equipment maintenance.
Numerous attempts have been made to refine or clean mineral wool so as to separate and remove the non-fibrous contaminants from the raw fiber. No prior process or method has been entirely satisfactory or commercially acceptable, particularly for producing mineral wool fibers suitable as a satisfactory fiberglass substitute. These prior methods have included a wide range of separation processes, equipment and techniques based upon simple mechanical agitation, washing, a gaseous fluid bed or stream, a gas cyclone and various combinations thereof. Typical prior art techniques are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,055,498; 3,111,719; 3,142,869; 3,308,945; 3,865,315; 4,229,285; 4,268,294; 4,269,701. These so-called "cleaning" processes for mineral wool as known in the art include both "dry" and "wet" cleaning apparatus. In a dry process, a high proportion of the useable fibers can be lost, rendering such a process uneconomical. In addition, there are various environmental hazards to be considered, since most processes involve spinning the fibers in air. In the various known processes for wet cleaning of mineral wool, the fibers are suspended in an aqueous medium, which is agitated such that the fibers tend to rise and the shot and other particulate contaminants, due to differences in relative surface area vis-a-vis the fiber, tend to settle. Such processes often incorporate various abrading means so as to attempt to break off the "adhered" shot from the ends of the fiber, and thereby produce a cleaner fibrous material. Substantial quantities of the fiber are often lost by this technique. In addition, in many of the prior wet processes, when the cleaned mineral wool is recovered and dried, it is difficult, when re-slurrying, to achieve a separation of the fibers. The fibers instead tend to intertwine and remain in clumps.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved inorganic fiber mat, and in particular a mat containing mineral wool fibers, which is sufficiently and substantially free of non-fibrous contaminants.
It is also an object of this invention to provide an inorganic fiber mat containing mineral wool which is an acceptable fiberglass substitute in the manufacture of mat and sheet materials suitable for use inter alia as roofing felt or otherwise as a sealing membrane for building and other industrial uses.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for the effective separation and removal of non-fibrous contaminants from inorganic fibrous material at minimal cost and without any substantial fiber damage or diminution of the physical properties of the fiber.
In accordance with the present invention, an inorganic fiber mat containing mineral wool is prepared which is substantially free of the non-fibrous and particulate loose contaminants heretofore experienced in the manufacture of a mineral wool fiber mat. While the fiber mat according to the invention may comprise any inorganic raw material which can be suitably drawn to a fibrous form, the invention is preferably a composite comprising glass fiber and mineral wool fiber. The fibrous mat or sheet products of the invention are characterized by excellent overall physical properties, similar to those of an expensive fiberglass mat, including good tensile strength, flexibility and dimensional stability.
It has now been found that through the apparatus and processing techniques according to the invention, as will be hereinafter described in detail, ordinary mineral wool containing substantial amounts of non-fibrous contaminants may be successfully employed in preparing an inorganic fiber mat suitable for a variety of end uses in the building products field as well as other industries. Through the use of a novel cleaning system, including a unique air-induced hydraulic tumbling and baffle device, the loose, non-fibrous contaminants normally found in mineral wool fiber are substantially removed and separated without any appreciable fiber loss or diminution of advantageous properties and fiber characteristics. Moreover, the drawbacks previously experienced in the use of mineral wool have been effectively eliminated, such that a relatively inexpensive, yet high grade, inorganic fiber is now available.
The present invention, therefore, comprises a novel inorganic mat structure, as well as a novel process for forming an inorganic fiber mat. More particularly, it has been found that by using the apparatus and process of the invention, relatively large percentages of mineral wool fiber may be substituted for glass fiber in making a mat suitable for use as a substrate for roofing shingles. In addition, by incorporating the cleaning procedures in accordance with the invention, roofing shingle mat having a substantial proportion of mineral wool fibers substituted for fiberglass may be formed in a continuous wet-laid process.
In accordance with the present invention, the mat or sheet forming process is divided into a unique pre-processing stage, including a mineral wool cleaning system, followed by a conventional forming stage. In the pre-processing stage or section, bales of mineral wool are fed into a dispersion tank to form a dilute dispersion or slurry of mineral wool in water. The aqueous slurry in the dispersion tank is agitated mechanically under relatively mild conditions, so as to effect a partial separation of the fibers and loose shot, particularly the heavy shot material, which settles to the bottom. The slurry is fed in a flowstream which directs the water-fiber from the dispersion tank into the cleaning apparatus. At such time, the heavy shot has been separated due to differences in density or physical configuration, since the fibers tend to float because of their large relative surface area as compared with the heavier particulate matter.
The aqueous slurry of mineral wool fibers is fed from the dispersion tank into a cleaning apparatus. At this point, the slurry includes, in addition to the fibers, small size contaminants, which are sometimes referred to as "grit". In addition, portions of "adhered" shot may remain on the ends of fibers, since the degree of agitation in the dispersion tank is controlled so as not to cause breakage of the fibers. In the cleaning section, the slurry is fed through a flow path, in which it encounters a number of air tumblers and baffles, which cause the slurry to move through a cascaded baffle arrangement under a slow air turbulence as it passess through the cleaning system. The flowing means causes the moving slurry to change direction a number of times, and impinge repeatedly against metal, preferably steel, surfaces. It has been found that the small grit particles tend to adhere to the metal surface as the flow passes through the cleaning apparatus. The flow rate is adjusted so as to leave the particles of grit behind as the mixture traverses the various passages in the cleaning apparatus.
The cleaned fibrous material is thereafter directed into a surge tank, which in effect acts as a holding tank and buffer. The consistency of the slurry is monitored in the surge tank, and the amount of liquid is adjusted as needed such that the fiber density of the slurry in the surge tank remains constant within a desired range. The mineral wool fiber slurry may then be pumped directly to a head box, and deposited on a moving wire so as to form a continuous mat.
In a preferred embodiment according to the invention, a composite mat of both glass fiber and cleansed mineral wool fiber is prepared by the invention process including separate pre-processing stages for the different fibrous materials prior to admixture in any derived predetermined proportion. In this embodiment, the pre-processing for treatment of the mineral wool is operated simultaneously with a pre-processing of the glass fiber wherein, in accordance with conventional practice, the fiberglass is introduced into a dispersion tank in which an aqueous slurry is formed. The slurry is fed into a further dispersion tank to effect an optimum separation of the fiberglass fibers, which are then in condition to be useable in forming glass mat. This slurry is fed to the intake side of a fan pump. The mineral wool surge tank is also connected to the intake side of the fan pump, such that mixtures of both the mineral wool and glass fiber components are drawn in simultaneously by the suction action of the pump. The delivery pipes from the feeding sections of the two components are arranged such that a desired ratio of fiberglass to mineral wool fibers is drawn into the fan pump for mixing. Dilution water is also fed into the intake side of the fan pump, such that the combined mixture of fiberglass and wool fibers, at the desired ratio, is further diluted to a consistency optimum for the head box. The fan pump in a conventional manner delivers the combined mixture to a head box which, through a wet-laid process, forms a mat on a moving screen. Water is drawn through the screen and returned for recycling in the system.
The resultant fiberglass mineral wool mat has a composition of a selected, predetermined ratio of fiberglass and cleaned mineral wool. As described above, the cleaning process is not designed to break the fibers, so as to attempt to separate adhered shot from the mineral wool, although some separation will inevitably occur. It has been found, however, that the retention of such shot does not materially interfere with the formation of an acceptable mat for roofing shingle purposes because the shot is part of the fiber and not free to disturb sheet formation nor bond formation when the binder is added to the formed wet mat. The adhered unfiberized portion comprises very small particles within the processing slurry which tend to become geometrically incorporated within the composite mat, rather than to become junction points which weaken the structure. Therefore, the extra steps sometimes employed in cleaning processes to remove the adhered shot are not necessary in the present cleaning process for the mineral wool fraction. Since such process steps may cause excessive breakage of the fibers, they are generally undesirable.
The present process is commercially advantageous, since the loose non-fibrous contaminants are, by the described two-stage process, separated from the mineral wool. Accordingly, when the mat is formed on the forming screen, the water drawn through the screen for recirculation into the system does not contain loose contaminants and, therefore, does not have to be cleaned and will not foul the system upon recirculation. As such, the present invention may be carried out in a high-speed, continuous mat producing process such as is presently employed in the commercial production of fiberglass mat shingles.
For a better understanding of the invention, and for purposes of illustration, but not of limitation, reference is made to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, taken in conjunction with the drawings accompanying the application.

FIG. 4 is an end view of the mineral wool cleaning apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
FIG. 5 is a top, plan view of the mineral wool cleaning apparatus as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4.
In the description which follows like parts are marked throughout the specification, as well as in the drawings, with the same reference numerals. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and, in some instances, portions or elements have been exaggerated in order to depict more clearly certain features of the invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, a two stage, continuous process is shown for the production of a composite mat containing mineral wool fibers and fiberglass, wherein the ratio of the respective fibers can be varied up to 100% of either fiber, but preferably up to about 40-65% mineral wool. The first or pre-processing stage involves the simultaneous, but separate, processing of the fiberglass and mineral wool fractions prior to admixture for forming the composite mat. The second or forming stage involves the forming of mat or sheet by conventional means using the fiber admixture from the pre-processing stage. Section 10 depicts a combination of dilution and dispersion tanks and control and agitation means which comprise the pre-processing system for the fiberglass fraction of the composite. Section 12 depicts pre-processing equipment, including dilution and dispersion tanks, control and agitation devices, as well as cleaning apparatus for the mineral wool fraction. The second or mat forming stage 14 is shown as a conventional wet-laid mat forming apparatus.
As best seen by reference to the schematic of FIG. 1, process water is supplied from the machine water tank 16. The dispersion water pump 18 feeds process water to the thick slurry tank 20 via valve 11 in section 10 for pre-processing the fiberglass fraction. Process water is also discharged selectively from the machine water tank 16 via dispersion water pump 18 through valve 13 to a long fiber pre-dispersion tank 22 the purpose of which is to disperse the longer fibers at a lower agitation than shorter fibers. This is to keep or reduce the clumping tendency normally experienced if long and short fibers are slurried at the same time. Process water may also be discharged to either dispersion tank 24 or use tank 26. The purpose of the dispersion tank 24 is to reduce the consistency, i.e. fiber solids, in preparation for feeding the slurry to the inlet side of fan pump 46. Reducing the consistency, which is easier to accomplish in a stepwise fashion, helps to keep the dispersion more uniform. The use tank 26 is kept at a constant level thereby maintaining a uniform head pressure to the fibre control valve 44 of the fan pump 46 and, in turn, similarly maintaining the profile of the basis weight across and in the machine direction of the mat. Each of the tanks 20, 22, 24 and 26 is suitably equipped with a variable agitation device 21, 23, 25 and 27.
Fiberglass is introduced into the system of section 10 for pre-processing via a series of fiber dump systems 29 and 30 in any combination of fiber lengths and diameters as may be desired. With regard to the introduction of the glass fiber, where long fibers, i.e. greater than 3/4 inch, are introduced into the pre-processing system, this is accomplished via the long fiber pre-dispersion tank 22, with the remaining shorter fibers fed directly into the thick slurry tank 20. Glass fiber from either or both fiber dump systems 29 and 30 is metered onto a conventional conveyor system 32, 34. The glass fiber then drops into the bucket 36 of a skip hoist 38 which is activated by a load sensing system (not shown). When the proper and desired amount of fiber has been deposited in the bucket, the load sensing system is activated and the glass fiber is dumped into the thick slurry tank 20, the tank 20 having been pre-filled with machine water. Glass fiber in the thick slurry tank 20, as well as in the long fiber tank 22, are gently separated by agitators 21, 23, as well as by compressed air from air supply 17. When the slurries are suitably prepared, generally about 0.75-1% consistency, they are emptied into the dispersion tank 24. Level probe 40 is suitably located within the dispersion tank 24 and are set to cause the thick slurry tank dump valve 42 to open when the level in the dispersion tank 24 drops below a designated point.
Dispersed fiber from the dispersion tank 24 is allowed to cascade via valve 31 to use tank 26 and, thereafter, from tank 26 via fiber control valve 44 to the suction side of the fan pump 48. The level of tank 26 is maintained by probe 41 within a narrow range, such that the flow through control valve 44 is held substantially constant. Thus, the need for fiber feed pumps is eliminated.
Operational sequencing throughout the process and within the various sections and stages is accomplished by known techniques through a conventional system of timers and weight and level detectors which is only partially shown.
Simultaneously with the pre-processing of the fiberglass fraction as just described, the mineral wool fraction is also pre-processed by dispersing, cleaning and slurrying in section 12. Process water is supplied to the mineral wool cleaning system from the machine water tank 16 via mineral fiber pump 50. The pump 50 is a standard centrifugal pump which delivers or moves water from one tank to another via valve 51. Mineral wool is introduced into the pre-processing section 12 by placing a bale of mineral wool in the bale opener 52 where it is opened and broken up. The partially shredded mineral wool fiber is then fed via a conveyor system 54 to the dispersion tank 56.
As seen in FIGS. 2 and 2A, in the dispersion tank 56, the fiber is partially cleaned through agitation (agitator 58) and a system of air tumbling the fiber, provided by air jets 59 connected to compressed air source 17. The flow rate and consistency within the agitated dispersion tank 56 are regulated by the amount of machine water and mineral wool fiber introduced. The partially cleaned mineral wool fiber then passes from tank 56 around baffle 61 via valve 60 to and through the cleaning section 62, where by means of a system of baffles and air tumblers, best understood by reference to the drawing and description of FIGS. 3-5, the remainder of the unfiberized loose material is separated and removed. The purpose of baffle 61 is to keep the vortex induced by the agitator at a low level, help disperse the wool fibers easily, and ensure that the wool chunks and partially shredded material is uniformly dispersed before leaving this unit. It is constructed as follows: a plate of steel mounted eccentrically across the diameter of the dispersing tank, protruding above the water level and below the outlet orifice so as to aid fiber dispersion. The mineral fiber slurry obtained from the cleaning section 62 then flows to a surge tank 64, where further water may be added to adjust the consistency of the slurry, and then via control valve 45 to the suction side of the fan pump 46, where the mineral wool slurry mixes with the fiberglass slurry in a pre-determined, desired proportion.
Referring again to FIG. 1, the dilution water pump 28, which takes its suction from the flow of process water through machine water tank 16, supplies dilutant as necessary to the mineral fiber surge tank 64 and to the suction side of the fan pump 46, to provide additional dilution of the composite slurry.
The composite slurry is, thereafter, continuously pumped via the fan pump 46 to the head box 66 and in turn continuously fed to a moving forming screen 68 of a conventional arrangement. The composite fiber mat is, thereafter, removed from the forming screen 68 and sent to a binder section for the application of a binder appropriate for the end use of the mat.
As best seen in FIGS. 3-5, the cleaning section 62 comprises a cascaded baffle arrangement wherein the mineral wool slurry from dispersion tank 56 enters the cleaning system via valve 60 and passes through a series of baffle chambers 80, 82, and 84 under low air turbulence caused by the action of air bubblers 81, 83 and 85, respectively, located within the said chambers, and finally passes through exit chamber 86. As the aqueous mineral wool slurry from tank 56 enters the chamber 80, it is subjected both (i) to laminar flow and to air turbulence such that the slurry cascades through the baffle chambers and (ii) to air turbulence, such that at least a portion of the grit and any other remaining non-fibrous, particulate contaminants, having a different weight and configuration than the usable fiber portion of the slurry, are caused to separate and drop to the bottom 88 of the chamber 80 or adhere to the surfaces of the chamber 80. The slurry is similarly treated in chambers 82 and 84 such that by the time the slurry reaches chamber 86 any residuum of grit is separated and a substantially clean mineral wool fiber is delivered to the surge tank 64 for slurrying and further treatment. The dump valves 90, 92, 94 and 96 are periodically used to clean the chamber of separated and collected contaminants.
In FIG. 5, a top plan view shows the relative arrangement of the chambers 80, 82, 84 and 86 and the funnel configuration of the respective bottom sections 88, 89, 91 and 93 for catching and funneling the grit to the respective dump valves 90, 92, 94 and 96.
While the invention has been described with reference to certain embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that other obvious embodiments as well as certain changes and modifications within the scope of the teachings of this specification are contemplated. Accordingly, the invention shall be limited only by the proper scope of the appended claims.

Don't Sleep: Necessary Notables
Headliner: Smoke DZA
Album: Rolling Stoned
Key Cameo: "On the Corner" (featuring Bun B and Big K.R.I.T.)
Real Spit: Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne are already established — not just as hip-hop stars, but as modern-day musical icons whose reach extends to fans outside of rap as well. In hip-hop's underground, however, new stars are emerging for a new generation; Harlem rapper Smoke DZA dubs them "the new elite."
While artists like Curren$y, Big K.R.I.T., Kendrick Lamar and Dom Kennedy are breaking through with mixtapes, independent albums and multi-city tours, DZA feels right there among that crop. He's even nabbed them all for guest features on his debut indie album Rolling Stoned.
"I feel like I'm amongst the elite, and I feel like they are the elite — like the Spittas, Big K.R.I.T., Kendrick, Dom," Smokey told Mixtape Daily. "That's the new crop of the elite right now, and just to be amongst them, I'm in a good space."
DZA first made a name for himself in 2004 as a part of the duo Smoke & Numbers, but he split from the group and decided to go solo. In 2009, Smokey re-emerged by himself on Substance Abuse, followed in 2010 with George Kush Da Button. Both projects contained original music and were presented as free Internet albums — though some still labeled them as mixtapes.
"Mixtapes to me was like rapping over other people's beats, so when I really started doin' the whole pattern of rappin' over my own beats, I took the whole approach as it being an album," DZA explained of his approach. "But I always called it a mixtape because it was free. Rappin' over other people's beats, I feel like that's a mixtape, and when you're rapping over your own original production, it's more so like an album."
While he was on the road with Big K.R.I.T. on the Mississippi rapper's Return of 4eva Tour, DZA recorded THC (The Hustler's Catalog), but it is Rolling Stoned that he counts as his true debut.
"THC was an acronym for 'The Hustler's Catalog,' and I was just telling tales of what I seen or been through on wax," he said. "So that was just the beginning of the hustle for Smokey, and now Rolling Stoned, it's a combination of George Kush, Substance Abuse, THC, everything, but with a new output of what I'm doing. Like, bigger production, and I'm working with my peers, so I'm excited about that."
Aside from the "new elite," Smoke also collaborated with veteran rapper Bun B for "On the Corner." It was that feature which meant most to him. "That's the OG of the cool table," DZA said of the UGK legend. "When the OG gives you the rub, it's like, what more can you say? It was just an honor and a pleasure working with Bun, and I hope we can do that again."

So this morning we resigned Jehuu Cualcrick to the Practice Squad, waiving Tramaine Brock, but Maiocco just tweeted that we informed Brock that we plan on re-signing him to the practice squad.
This would seem to signify one thing, an upcoming change to our active roster... here are my guesses as to some internal moves to be made.
1) Releasing Moran Norris and activating Caulcrick. This seems like such an obvious move. If so, this should have been done weeks ago as Norris simply doesn't have it anymore.
2) Activating Nate Davis. Now this move makes a ton of sense due to all the fire Smith has faced from the fanbase as of lately. Being a fan favorite player, they may do this simply because it's a popular move in dire times or he is being evaluated by another team and we want to keep him. If this is the case I would expect either...
a) releasing Troy Smith
b) trading David Carr to a qb thin team like the Browns or Jaguars (this would be an incredible and very logical move to make as we could likely nab a 7th rounder for a player that is no long term solution and clearly doens't have the confidence of the players or coaching staff. Not to mention he may be a bit upset over how the situation was handled last game.

Paypal is the most popular online payment solution next to credit cards allowing you to purchase almost anything from online stores. Also, registering for an account is very relatively easy that you only need to have a valid email address to sign-up. After linking your email account with your Paypal account, you can now transfer or withdraw funds from your Paypal account. The only problem now is how you will fund your Paypal account.
For so many years, I have been in constant search for ways to transfer money to fund my Paypal account. Bank wire transfer are sometimes prohibited in some areas or countries making it difficult for anyone to make their first purchase online.
In a recent partnership made between Paypal and MoneyGram, the difficulties in funding your Paypal account would become just a thing of the past. MoneyGram being a money transfer company will now allow Paypal users to deposit and withdraw funds from their Paypal accounts via MoneyGram's 284,000 branches scattered all over the world.
According to Paypal, the goal of the partnership is to provide online consumers and retailers for a quick way to turn 'cash into commerce'. Additionally, this latest collaboration with MoneyGram was intended for expanding their offline footprint reaching a wider audience who are still looking for ways to fund their Paypal account.
"PayPal is expanding our core product to solve problems for consumers, merchants, developers and advertisers — not just trying to re-create a wallet that we already invented 14 years ago. This latest initiative with MoneyGram is another example of how we're enabling our digital wallet to work across multiple platforms and devices, online and offline, in order to offer consumers more control, flexibility and functionality when interacting with their money," — Dan Schatt, PayPal's head of financial innovations.
According to a Paypal blog post, Paypal users will have access to MoneyGram's money transfer service next year.
I tried searching again for the said news that was posted on the Paypal site but its nowhere to be found. I also tried searching for the progress of this news within the site but there's nothing out there. If Paypal will be posting some updates soon, I will immediately inform you and post it in this blog. Alternatively, you can still fund your Paypal account via MoneyPak or GreenDot.

To the editor:
With regard to Gerald Theriault�s July 5 letter to the editor headlined, �Swansboro residents intend to stay course,� I would like to respond about the current businesses that built the town.
First, I don�t think that places like Hampton Inn, Advance Auto, Papa John�s and now Little Ceasers had anything to do with building Swansboro. One thing is the same about all these new places in Swansboro � they are big companies!
Second, how many of these small-town people from Swansboro travel to the other towns to shop at big box stores? Of course, not in our town... but it�s OK in someone else�s town.
Third, it would be nice to get a store in the area with lower prices instead of the more expensive food stores in our area. If the people who oppose so-called big box stores cared about people who are not as well off as they are, they would probably want one, too.
Last but not least: Now, Swansboro wants people who don�t live there to pay if they get in an accident. Well, every other town should put out the word that if a Swansboro resident gets in an accident, they will be charged for the emergency response.
Another big store would help Swansboro�s tax base. Swansboro is letting the car dealer expand, so it must be that it�s all about hating Walmart.

Second Stage
Second Stage
Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT System (Taipei City Section from Sanchong to Taipei City)
The Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT System starts from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 2, passes Terminal 1 in the east, runs alongside Dayuan Township and Luzhu Township in Taoyuan County, Linkou District in New Taipei City, Guishan Township in Taoyuan County, and Taishan, Xinzhuang, and Sanchong districts in New Taipei City, then enters Taipei Main Station in Taipei City.
It also runs south from Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 2 to Taiwan High Speed Rail Taoyuan Station and ends at the intersection of Zhongfeng Road and Huanbei Road in Zhongli City. The line totals 51.03 km with 22 stations.
The line is divided into two sections. The first section from Sanchong to Zhongli passes through Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and Taoyuan Station of the high-speed rail and is being implemented by the Bureau of High Speed Rail under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC). Civil engineering for the second section from Sanchong to Taipei City was commissioned to Taipei City Department of Rapid Transit Systems by the MOTC. The whole line is under construction.
Circular Line Phase I
The Circular line passes through 10 administrative districts across Taipei City and New Taipei City: Wenshan, Xindian, Zhonghe, Banqiao, Xinzhuang, Wugu, Luzhou, Sanchong, Shilin, and Zhongshan. The entire line is 35.9 km in length with 32 stations and was approved by the Executive Yuan to be implemented in two phases. The approved route of the Phase I, spanning 15.4 km and consisting of 14 stations, passes through Xindian, Zhonghe, Banqiao, and Xinzhuang districts and connects with five MRT lines: the Xindian, Zhonghe, Banqiao, and Xinzhuang lines, and the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT System. Currently, construction of Phase I is underway.
Wanda-Zhonghe-Shulin Line Phase I
The medium-capacity Wanda-Zhonghe-Shulin line, totaling 22.1 km with 22 stations and one maintenance depot, was approved by the Executive Yuan to be implemented in two phases. The Wanda-Zhonghe-Shulin line Phase I starts underground from Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall Station on the Xindian line, runs beneath Nanhai Road, Heping West Road, Xizang Road, Wanda Road, and Fumin Street before crossing under the Xindian River to reach Baosheng Road in New Taipei City. It then runs along Zhongshan Road, Liancheng Road, and ends at Jincheng Road. A depot will be established in the agricultural zone on the north side of Jincheng Road and a branch line station near Juguang Road. The route is 9.5 km long, including nine underground stations and one depot.
Xinyi Eastern Extension
The final corridor study report of the Xinyi eastern extension, incorporating comments from the National Development Council (then the Council for Economic Planning and Development), was approved on February 12, 2010 by the Executive Yuan. The 1.6-kilometer-long extension is to be built underground from the Xinyi line's original terminal station, Xiangshan Station. It includes two underground stations and will run along Xinyi Road Section 6, Fude Street, and Zhongpo South Road before ending at Yucheng Park.
Xinzhuang Line (Xinzhuang Depot)
The full Xinzhuang line is 19.7 km in length, of which 7.3 km is located in Taipei City and the remaining 12.4 km in New Taipei City, and has 16 underground stations and one maintenance depot. The line starts at Guting Station on the Zhonghe line and runs beneath Hangzhou South Road, Xinyi Road, Xinsheng South Road, Songjiang Road, Minquan East and West roads, then passes beneath the Tamsui River north of Taipei Bridge to enter Sanchong District. It continues along Chongxin Road and Jieyun Road, then crosses the Erchong Flood Channel and runs back to Chongxin Road in Sanchong before continuing to Xinzhuang District along Zhongzheng Road and ending at Huilong Station near the Losheng Sanatorium. The entire line, apart from the maintenance depot, runs underground.
The Xinzhuang line opened for commercial service phase by phase: the section from Daqiaotou Station to Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station, the section from Daqiaotou Station to Fu Jen University Station, and the section from Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station to Guting Station via Dongmen Station began commercial service on November 3, 2010, January 5, 2012, and September 30, 2012, respectively. The remaining section (from Fu Jen University Station to Huilong Station in New Taipei City) began commercial service on June 29, 2013. Construction of Xinzhuang Depot is scheduled to be finished in January 2018, thus completing the entire line.
Danhai Light Rail
Danhai Light Rail, a network consisting of the Green Mountain line and the Blue Seaside line, and one depot is constructed as an LRT system on elevated and surface tracks. The Green Mountain line is 7.34 km in length with elenen stations and the Blue Seaside line is 7.86 km with nine stations.
Sanying Line
The Sanying line is constructed as an LRT system on elevated tracks. It will run from Dingpu Station on the Tucheng line along Zhongyang Road to Sanxia then cross National Freeway No. 3 to Yingge. The line is 11.9 km in length with eight stations. The comprehensive planning report was approved by the central government on June 2, 2015.
Ankeng Line
The Ankeng line runs at ground level from the planned Erbazi Botanical Garden and along Ankeng No. 1 Road (under planning). It will switch to an elevated mode for travel along Anhe Road, turn right at the east-south side of Xinhe Elementary School to cross the Xindian River, and connect to the under-construction Circular line in Shisizhang District. The Ankeng line is 7.7 km in length and be a light-rail transit (LRT) system with nine stations and one depot located on the west side of Erbazi Botanical Garden. The comprehensive planning report was approved by the central government on May 18, 2015.

Movie Preview
Rated: R | Running Time: 90 Minutes
From: Momentum Pictures
New York, Los Angeles, VOD and Digital EST June 3, 2016
"Andron" is coming to select theaters in New York and Los Angeles on June 3rd, but it's also come to VOD the same day for the rest of you. It's a futuristic movie starring Alec Baldwin, Danny Glover, and reminds me a bit of the classic "Running Man" meets "Logan's Run," but with more advanced special effects. Here's the trailer, and I'll try to get a review up closer to the release date.

Where The Real Inflation Is
Despite being dismissed as "noise", inflation is here and it's rising. As the following chart shows, if you eat, drive, use electricity, or live in a house, you are paying dramatically more this year than you did last year. On the bright side, if you wear clothes or use electronics, prices have dropped (but remember deflation is bad...). How much longer can the Fed pull the wool over the eyes of the people?

bullshit. if they are spending more on gasoline than last year it isn't due to rising prices.
Fuck the Fed.
Consumer electronics prices are falling and Bill Dudley says, "Today you can buy an edible iPad 2 that costs the same as an iPad 1 that is twice as filling,". So what is the problem?
Tastes great!
When subterfuge of worthless paper and rehypothecation derivative is come back to earth from stratosphere (aka Bank-o-sphere™), just watch rapid shift from soft asset to hard asset and accompanying inflation. Buy your popcorn now before is so expensive!
the kernel is the hard asset?
Because you can buy similar pads from other makers, with similar quality and features, without the Apple sky-high price...
Still can't eat them, though...
You stand corrected sir:
You can eat Ipads, Ipods, and Iphones,
I traveled out of my little bubble recently and was shocked to find that a chicken sandwich combo at Sonic is now about $6.50. That's insane!
"How much longer can the Fed pull the wool over the eyes of the people?"
For as long as the people allow it.
Each new generation tolerates that which the previous generation deemed abhorrent.
no wonder wool and sheep are related
My bung hole is inflated from all that wood pulp in my 90% lean Mc Meat.
The red is the normal for Chinese. I suggest everyone get use to the idea of working just to survive "slave to my mortage" is a famous chinese TV show.
The result is a dumbing down of society to the point where you just accept what they give you. nothing in China looks like exactly what you are trying to buy. No food looks like the menue pic.

Sure. There's an outfit in Bluffdale, Utah that specializes in data retention and recovery. National something or other. Look it up.
yeah, that's the only place with a computer big enough to store all of my comments. :snark:
No computer can ever replace the kind intuitive insights you've shared with Z/H Buzz.

I think that as old articles get moved to the archived servers, the associated post histories go there as well. I remember when we could see many months worth of a user's posting history. Now it seems more like a few weeks.
The up/down arrow history also seems to get flushed when an article goes to archive.

So are Americans driving a lot more, in bigger cars, or do they just not know what the hell they spend their money on, making this chart worthless. (like most charts)
edit: buzzsaw beat me to the point
On the bright side, if you wear clothes... prices have dropped
The Tyler's don't shop at Goodwill, I see.
luckily less jobs means more casual clothes
Nom nom, nom nom, this plastic is soooo filling and eases my hunger pains for a nanosecond
When will YOU get serious about dumping the Fed?
Just as soon as I figure out how to buy shit without the Fed.
(Editor's note: I meant to capitalize the "I" to match kurt's "YOU" but realized that it's already capitalized...DOH!)
Maybe it's just one small step, but Kalgoorlie Hotel (Kalgoorlie is a gold mining town no less) will accept gold for payment: "The hotel will accept nuggets, bars and "anything as long as it's gold"."
More proofs that the US Government deliberately and grossly mislead the inflation :
Consumer's back baby!
Can't make the inflation claim without more background data. More spending due to price increase or due to shift in spending on substitutes? Grocery spending up and dining out down? So more people are eating more often at home. Need to see price data not spending.
For those that understand fraudulent-reserve banking and how the banksters steal the people's wealth, price-inflation is seen as what it truly is: a symptom of their theft.
Where's the property tax inflation calc?
But hey, pretty soon the influx of new immigrants means that my lawn care and real estate services expense is about to drop. Too bad for Hector that he didn't properly calculate for increased competition and the ensuing downward wage pressure on HIS own wages.
Maybe when Hector is working twice as hard for half the revenue, because another half million new citizens are here to do the jobs 'Americans don't want to do' , he may finally understand that he was used to further another habitual liar's political career. Ain't it grand to self-actualize as political fodder?
Prunes, too. I buy them once a year or so for a recipe. For years at TJs they were $1.89. Then they crept over the past few years to $2.19; $2.69. Went to buy them today: $3.29!!!!!! You really notice when it is a once a year purchase.
In Palo Alto, the store that is really hopping is the Grocery Outlet that just opened. There is nothing like it in town - actually discounted food!!!! The City Council hated allowing it to be there; it just doesn't fit the image of the town, but they were desperate (per the deal they had cut with the developer) to put a grocery store in the space. A couple of fancy grocery stores were tried over the past few years; they went belly up; there are too many of those already. This store is not going belly up; it is full of shoppers.
Well, Piazza's ($3.69 for a single organic cucumber) is also full of shoppers. Safeway is not doing so well.
Let us also identify the exact cause of the "noise." It must be theft from productive work, counterfeiting, that is the source of the "noise:"
"The tyranny of modern economics (TOME) began when the term money, the concept of money, was falsely redefined as if it could become detached from the percepts from which it was conceived. Money went from being defined as a unit of measuring one's work to produce a product that meets the demands of others to being named as just a medium of exchange. The tyranny of modern economics thereby changed the course of human events quite simply by redefining a word from what that word fundamentally represents to what it does not. Tyranny's obfuscation of the language then is clear. They have been naming money for so long as just a medium of exchange that no one asks anymore, "the exchange of what?"
There is no doubt that a characteristic of money is that it acts as an intermediary between two parties that are making an exchange. This one characteristic though is not its fundamental characteristic. Money's fundamental characteristic defines why money was invented in the first place and this characteristic then determines that money can be used as a medium of exchange. The necessity of measuring one's productive work by agreed upon units came about as the means to exchange the products of one's work which was simple with someone else's work which was complex (or with work that is performed better versus worse), and vice versa. That money mediates this exchange is true and the ones who first coined this terse description probably did know and understand why money was invented. The phrase "it is a medium of exchange" most likely developed as shorthand with full recognition of why money came to be and that it necessarily represents the exchange of something for something. The phrase was coined so long ago that then one did not have to question what was being exchanged because it was taken as a given that the medium as money was indeed money. However, the long train of abuses and usurpations that have occurred since then cannot afford opponents of tyranny to view our medium of exchange as money any longer because money, as a medium of exchange, competes with another medium of exchange that is counterfeit.
The modern definition of money that defines money as just a medium of exchange is wrong. That it is a medium of exchange is a characteristic of money but it is not the essence of what money is; it is not money's nature since it indicates nothing of its cause. What we choose to describe something as does not define what it is; a thing is what it is first and then defined correctly in accord with that fact. Just as money can mediate an exchange, so too can counterfeit. Therefore, since this is a characteristic of each of them then a more precise defining characteristic must be identified for both of them separately: MONEY IS THE REPRESENTATION OF PRODUCTIVE WORK AS IDENTIFIED BY AN EXCHANGE OF SOMETHING FOR SOMETHING; COUNTERFEIT IS THE REPRESENTATION OF STEALING FROM PRODUCTIVE WORK AS IDENTIFIED BY AN EXCHANGE OF NOTHING FOR SOMETHING. Modern thieves depend upon their victims to not understand the difference between money and counterfeit; they depend on their victims' preoccupation with the perception of the units themselves and not the conception of why the units became necessary at all and how that necessity determines which units originate as money and which units originate as counterfeit."
But hey, pretty soon the influx of new immigrants means that my lawn care and real estate services expense is about to drop. Too bad for Hector that he didn't properly calculate for increased competition and the ensuing downward wage pressure on HIS own wages.
Maybe when Hector is working twice as hard for half the revenue, because another half million new citizens are here to do the jobs 'Americans don't want to do' , he may finally understand that he was used to further another habitual liar's political career. Ain't it grand to self-actualize as political fodder?
Cut back on eating out after I went to a family restaurant, and the cost of a burger, fries and drink was $15.00(including tax, and tip).
How much longer can the Fed pull the wool over the eyes of the people?
Are you serious??? 80% Of Amerikkans don't even know what the fed is....WTF
Prices move before wages. For anyone living within their means, deflation = good. inflation = bad. the only time inflation can be good for a wage earner is if they have a fixed rate debt and their wages grow faster than the new debt they take on to pay the interest as they max out.
Inflation is best for those who own any type of real productive assets - including land. Most wage earners don't have these things. It takes old money; money that is old enough to have come from some forgotten crime.
Inflation is good for governments that have promised the moon and can't even deliver a step stool. Inflation robs the hoi polloi of purchasing power, and reduces the actual value of any benefits that they have been promised. The only bitch in the inflation crowd for .gov is when the debt has to be rolled over (wonder why Treasury is surveying brokers about 30 year debt? The Fed has created a shortage of collateral which is exacerbated by reverse repos to help the squids leverage up more. What a clever plan for Treasury to say that they will provide 30 year debt to be used as collateral - which the FED will never buy up or reverse repo. If the FED vaccuums up all the short term, and squids are forced to use 30 year, creating a rising demand for the stuff, then the treasury can simply push that garbage out on the world and extend the average maturity of their debt so that any sudden tsunami of inflation will not hit the interest line in the budget).
If you allow yourself to be a little bit paranoid, the sociopaths and their schemes stand out more starkly than aliens to the guy wearing the special sunglasses. :-)
If you live and drive in the NYC area, you know full well that highway, bridge and tunnel toll increases are COMPLETELY out of control and have been for the last decade. Wanna drive your car and trailer ONCE over the George Washington Bridge (or through the Holland or Lincoln tunnels)? That'll be $52, please! ($68 if you're paying cash...) But better hurry--those prices increase to $60 and $76 on December 7...
I haven't been over the GW bridge since 1998. Things have changed.
oh. my. god. $68; that is insane.
It's $100 for trucks!

Re: EOS-CCA Contact Info
Hi. I would really like their contact info as well. I have a collections account from them, ATT from aug. 10, it was paid as soon as I received the collections notice but it is still showing up on my credit report. What would be the best route to get this deleted? Saying that I paid before it was sent to collections? I paid ATT directly if I remember correctly. Thanks!

YouTube bully victim - I just snapped
- From: The Sunday Telegraph
- March 20, 2011
THE schoolboy who's become an internet sensation after turning the tables on a bully has told how he snapped after years of cruel taunts about his weight.
Sixteen-year-old Casey Heynes says he has been bullied nearly every day at his school, Chifley College, at St Marys, but could take no more when Year 7 student Ritchard Gale tormented and attacked him last Monday.
"All I was doing was defending myself. I've never had so much support," he said during an interview with A Current Affair.
Casey reveals he'd been targeted by a new group of Year 7 boys who had started picking on him and teasing him about two weeks prior to the fight.
The Year 10 student said he found himself surrounded by the students when he went to get a school timetable before class.
As Ritchard backed him against the wall and started throwing punches, Casey said he felt scared and worried that others in the group would also start hitting him.
Eventually, he snapped, picking Ritchard up over his shoulder and throwing him to the ground.
The brawl was recorded on the mobile phone of another student who later posted the video online where he has earned "hero" status.
Asked if he was a superhero, he laughed and said: "No I wish I was."
The video, which was taken off YouTube on Tuesday, has gone viral worldwide spawning dozens of websites and facebook pages congratulating Casey for fighting back.
It also sparked a media storm with St Marys residents claiming television stations were offering up to $1000 for information about the fight.
Channel Nine won the race to sign up Casey after rival Today Tonight on Seven interviewed Ritchard's mother who said her son should apologise.
Yesterday, Ritchard was unrepentant. Asked whether he was sorry for attacking Casey, he bluntly replied: "No."
The issue has divided the western Sydney community.
"Good on him. I was so happy to see a bully finally getting what he deserved," one St Marys resident said.
"I don't condone violence but when kids stage an attack like that and record it to humiliate the victim it's wrong."
But another resident Jayne Saunders said: "He could have broken that little kid's neck."

The school staff has "neglect" written all over their faces. They should all be ashamed to have let this boy be tormented the way he was. Shame on them.
