The present invention relates to metering rod type coaters and in particular, to a coater having improved control of the coat weight of the coating formulation being applied.
The use of metering rod type applicators for applying coating to a surface such as the surface of a roll of a size press coater for application to a web passing through the nip of the size press coater are well known and have been in commercial use for some time. Examples of such equipment are shown in Canadian published patent applications 2,078,320 published Feb. 17, 1993 to Rantanen, 2,078,735 published Mar. 20, 1993 to Beisswanger, 2,082,121 published May 7, 1993 to Rantanen et al. or 2,040,845 published Oct. 20, 1991 to Rantanen.
In these devices, generally, the pressure applied in the nip formed between the metering rod and the backing surface (generally the surface of an application roll) is used to meter the amount of coating that passes through the nip and is available for application to the web in the size press coater. Generally, the amount of coating passing through the nip is also significantly affected by the diameter of the metering rod and hardness of the backing surface. The rheology of the coating also influences the passage of the coating through the nip. Generally, as the solids content of the coating increases, the film thickness on the supporting surface leading to the size press application nip must be reduced to apply the same coating solids to the web.
When operating at the pressure limit for the nip, the coat weight passing through the nip and available for application to the web may be too large and must be accommodated for by reducing coating solids, however, this affects the application and take up of the coating by the web as well as the quality of the coated sheet.
Redesign of the equipment to permit increase in the pressure applicable in the metering nip formed by the rod and the backing surface may further extend the range of control of coat weight. However, this, in many cases, is simply not practical.
It has been found, at least for some coating formulations, increasing nip pressure above a threshold in a given nip configuration does not significantly influences the amount of coating passing through the nip.
It is an object of the present invention to improve the metering ability of a metering rod type applicator to control the amount of coating metered onto the transfer surface.
Broadly, the present invention relates to a metering rod coating applicator and method for applying a coating to a transfer surface comprising a coating head, passage means for delivering coating from said coating head toward said surface, a metering rod, means for pressing said metering rod toward said surface to form a metering nip between said rod and said surface to meter the amount of coating passing through said nip, means to vibrate said rod, said means to vibrate said metering rod to reduce the amount of coating passing through said nip at a given pressure applied in said nip.
Preferably, said surface is a peripheral surface of a transfer roll of a size press coater.
Preferably, said means to vibrate applies vibrating forces substantially axially of said rod.
Preferably, said means to vibrate said rod by applying vibrations having a frequency in the range of 10 to 1000 Hz, more preferably 20 to 200 Hz and an amplitude in the range of 1 to 10 mils RMS, preferably 2 to 5 mils RMS to said rod.
Preferably, said amplitude will be in the range of 2.8 to 28 mils peak to peak.
Further features, objects and advantages will be evident from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which;
FIG. 1 is a cross-section schematically illustrating the typical size press coater using metering rod type coating heads.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view showing pressure application to a metering rod forming a typical metering nip.
FIG. 3 schematically illustrates the application of vibrations to the metering rod in accordance with the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, a typical size press coater 10 is formed by a pair of sized press rolls 12 and 14 which formed a nip N therebetween and through which a paper web or the like W to be coated passes. The rolls 12 and 14 are rotated as indicated by the arrows 16 and 18 in the direction of movement of the web W through the nip N as indicated by arrow 20.
In the illustrated arrangement, a pair of coating heads 22 apply coating to the rolls 12 and 14 respectively. Each of these coating heads 22 are of the type known in the art as rod type applicators in that the rod such as the rod 24 forms a nip 28 with the surface of its respective roll 12 or 14. Coating to be applied is delivered to the head 22 and nip 28 as indicated by the arrow 26. The nip 28 meters the amount of coating applied by the coating heads 22 onto their respective transfer rolls 12 and 14.
As more clearly illustrated in FIG. 2, the roll 24 forms nip 28 with its respective rolls 12 or 14 to meter the coating or flow of coating 26 applied to the surface of the roll 12 or 14 to form the film 30 on the surface of the roll 12 or 14 in position for application to the web W in the nip N. Generally, the rod 24 is rotated by a suitable drive means as schematically indicated by the arrow 32. The nip pressure in the nip 28 between the rod 24 and roll 12 or 14 is determined by pneumatic inflatable tubes or the like, a pair of which have been illustrated at 34 and 36 in FIG. 2. The air pressure within these tubes expand the tubes 34 and 36 and presses the roll 24 towards the roll 12 or 14. The pressure within the nip 28 is adjusted by adjusting the pneumatic pressure in the bellows 34 and 36.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rod 24 is vibrated as indicated by the double headed arrow 38 by the application of vibrations substantially axially of the rod 24 (in a practical test of the present invention, these vibrations were applied by a pneumatic vibrator applied against the end cap of the rod 24 as will be discussed in the Examples hereinbelow).
It is also possible to vibrate the mounting housing 40 for the rod 24 to provide a substantially radial vibration as indicated schematically by the double headed arrow 42 (see FIG. 3) or a combination of such vibration may be used (i.e. both axial and radial). However, it is preferred to use the axial vibration as illustrated by the double headed arrow 38.
Generally, with metering rod type coaters, the solid contents of the coating ranges between 30 and 70%, more preferably, 54 and 60%, and has a low shear viscosity in the range of 200 to 3,000 cps, preferably 500 to 1200 cps and a high shear viscosity of between 20 and 120 cps, preferably between 30 and 55 cps.
Generally, in most metering rod applications, the diameter of the metering rod is between 10 and 50 cm and it is rotated generally opposite to the direction of movement of the surface of the roll 12 or 14 through the nip 28. The rod 24 is generally-rotated at an rpm in the range of about 2to 200 rpm, preferably 30 to 70 rpm.
The pressure will normally be applied to the nip 28 by applying between 5 and 50 psi, pneumatic pressure to the tubes or bellows 34 and 36 and more preferably by applying between about 20 and 35 psi. Obviously, other means may be substituted for the pneumatic pressure application. The actual nip pressure will also depend on the rod diameter and surface hardness which is selected by selecting the hardness of a sleeves formed on the roll 12 and 14 and against which the rod 24 presses.
These conditions are generally used to apply a wet film weight, i.e. a film 30 having a weight in the range of 5 to 50 gm/2, preferably between about 10 and 35 gm/m2 of which generally about 50 to 90% is taken up on the web W.
Based on limited experimentation, it is believed that for effective operation of the present invention, the frequency of vibration is not critical but should preferably be in the range of about 10 to 1000 Hz, more preferably 20 to 200 Hz and have an amplitude in the range of about 1 to 10 mils RMS, preferably, 2 to 5 mils RMS. Generally, this amplitude range when specified as peak to peak, will be about 2.8 to 28 mils, preferably 5.6 to 14 mils peak to peak.
A typical coating color made down at 58% solids content had low shear viscosity (Brookfield 100 rpm) 824 cps and high shear viscosity (Haake) 42 cps. The solids at the start of the coating run was 56.9% and at the end 56.2%. The coating was applied at about 10 gm2 and at a web speed of 1050 m/min to the wire side only of a 43 g/m2 base paper by means of a Valmet pilot Sym-Sizerm™ with the 35 mm diameter metering rod rotating at 50 rpm under a pressure of 20 psi in the loading tube. A sample of the coating film 30 applied to the applicator or transfer roll 12 (14) was scraped from the roll and from the weight of coating collected the wet film weight was calculated to be 31.7 g/m2.
A pneumatic vibrator was then applied to a metal cap on the tending end of the rotating metering rod 24 to apply axial vibration to the metering rod. The vibration applied had a frequency about 100 Hz and an amplitude about 3 mils RMS. With the vibration applied to the metering rod a sample of the coating film 30 was scraped and from its weight (the wet film weight) was calculated as 24.2 g/m2.
A 24% reduction in the metered film weight was thus achieved as a result of application of the vibration to the metering rod.
Another batch made down of the same coating formulation described in Example 1, at the start of the coating run, had a solids content of the color 56.5% and at the end, a solids content of 55.5%. At the start of the coating run, the low shear viscosity (Brookfield 100 rpm) of the coating was 616 cps and the high shear viscosity (Haake) 36 cps. The coating was applied at about 10 g/m2 and 875 m/min web speed to the wire wide only of a 43 g/m2 base paper web by means of a Valmet pilot Sym-Sizer with 35 mm diameter metering rod rotating at 65 rpm. As in Example 1, for some of the tests, a pneumatic vibrator was clamped against a metal end cap on the tending end of the metering rod. With the vibrator turned off, the pressure in the rod loading tube was changed to three settings as set out in Table I below and a sample of coating film was scraped from the applicator roll giving the wet film weights in the table below. The vibrator was then turned on and the three scraping tests were then repeated at the same three rod loading pressures. The vibrator in each test operated at a frequency of 90 Hz and amplitude of 3 mils RMS or 8.5 mils peak to peak.
The vibration applied to the metering rod in this Example caused as much as 14% decrease in wet coating film weight. The effect of the vibration was greatest at the highest loading tube pressure and was reduced at lower tube pressures.
Loading Tube Pressure
Wet Film Weight
Test No.
It is apparent that application of vibrations to the metering rod in substantially all tested circumstances (metering nip pressures) is effective to reduce the wet film weight applied to the surface of the rolls 12 or 14. However, at the higher metering nip pressures, the application of vibrations to the metering rod were most effective.
This mode of operation permits the use of higher solids content coating formulations which require a lower film weight for a given coating application to the web and in many existing rod type coaters is the only way known to Applicant of permitting the use of high solids coating formulations at low coating application rates.
Having described the invention, modifications will be evident to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Cameron Bairstow Is Going To The Pistons
Just three days after signing Zack Greinke to a six-year, $206 million contract, the Arizona Diamondbacks continued to make over their rotation by trading for Braves starter Shelby Miller, according to Ken Rosenthal. Steve Gilbert adds that they're also getting minor leaguer Gabe Speier.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a remarkable experiment in what happens when you take the financial brakes off a team and see how far you can fly with pure spending. On the field, their ethos is pretty simple: get men on base and hit homers on offense, then strike people out when they have the ball. Last year they had the…
After days of rumors that the Atlanta Braves were looking to make a deal, they finally struck. According to multiple reports, they traded Andrelton Simmons and minor leaguer Jose Briceno to the Los Angeles Angels for Erick Aybar, pitching prospects Sean Newcomb and Chris Ellis, and $3 million cash.
It turns out that Cole Hamels's final start after 10 seasons as a Philly was indeed a no-hitter, as he has been traded to the Texas Rangers for a gaggle of prospects. As reported by Jeff Passan and others, here is what the deal looks like:
Just five days ago, GM Dave Dombrowski said Prince Fielder was "probably not a good fit" in Detroit. That was after C/DH Victor Martinez went down for the year, but with 1B/3B/DH Miguel Cabrera still under contract through 2015.

theartsdesk Q&A: Conductor Markus Stenz on Mahler
Let's make a symphony - a very big one. Live-wire German interpreter explains his own special approach
Never mind the huge interpretative challenges; Mahler's Eighth, dubbed the "Symphony of a Thousand" owing to the gargantuan forces the composer marshalled as conductor of its 1910 Munich premiere, needs an even greater mastery of logistics. Markus Stenz (b 1965), who has been chief conductor of Cologne's 500-year old Gürzenich Orchestra since 2003 in addition to major posts at the Hallé and Hilversum's Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, had so far wielded a Mahler cycle of terrific impetus and fresh approach to detail. How would he get 600 or so singers and players to move forward with an equal litheness?
The answer came in a performance to mark 25 years of one of the world's best concert halls, the Cologne Philharmonie, which took flight from the start and culminated in one of the biggest long-term ecstasy bursts I've ever experienced in a concert hall. Graham Rickson reviews the live recording for the German label Oehms Classics over on this week's classical roundup. I met Stenz the morning after one of the performances to discuss the whys and wherefores as well as how his early days covering contemporary repertoire with the London Sinfonietta had affected what he does now, and why Mahler remains the greatest.
DAVID NICE: So this was the first time you've tackled the Eighth in your home city.
MARKUS STENZ: Yes – and the third time in my life. Every once in a while, probably once in a decade, I can have a go at it. The other outings were at the New Zealand Festival in 1996, and next with my then orchestra the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. We made a rather wonderful celebratory performance to mark 100 years of the Australian parliament, which sat for the first time in Melbourne, so we made a point of playing Mahler 8 in that same building, one of those big Victorian halls and I think we had 6000 people in the audience alone.
I wondered whether there was ever an option to perform it in Cologne Cathedral. Gergiev and the London Symphony Orchestra chose St Paul's as the venue, and acoustically it was a disaster, though Radio 3 turned it into a performance you could hear.
So you got the virtual reality – no-one heard it in real life, but it was all there in the broadcast! No, I wouldn't even think of doing it in a cathedral, I don't think it's a piece for it. It needs to be carefully tailored to the venue. It's worth looking back at Mahler's meticulous preparation for the first performance when Alfred Roller, his favourite stage designer at the Vienna Court Opera, came up with a layout of the stage in the big Munich venue, so that the music could work. There is a fascinating photo of that first performance (pictured above right) where you can see how the masses are disposed – he had almost 450 more people than we had last night. So tailoring it was our first step with the Philharmonie [Cologne's Philharmonic Hall]. We had as a point of reference the previous performances that had been done in the Philharmonie including the opening concert 25 years ago conducted by [Marek] Janowski, and you see the photos there and how they did it, and we went for a distinctly different approach in that we extended the platform, we pushed the orchestra closer to the audience and thus created the space for an extra 100 singers, ladies' voices, on stage.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- With Chris Johnson among a handful of absent Titans, LenDale White traded and the rookies not with the team yet, Javon Ringer worked as the lone tailback at the Titans' first OTA session of the offseason open to the press.
He held up fine under the workload, despite one bad drop and one rocket he caught with the help of his facemask.
When White was traded on the third day of the draft, Ringer said he first thought of his friend's opportunity in Seattle, then about himself.
"Now this is my opportunity to make sure I step up to be able to contribute a lot more to the team," said Ringer, a fifth-round pick out of Michigan State last year.
Said Vince Young: "Big Ring, Pinball, he's doing a good job out there. He's doing a good job. I try to slow it down in the huddle when he gets back so he can get a little breather and things like that. From the looks of it right now, he's doing a phenomenal job. He's in the right place, he's continued getting the small details from his coaches and I think he's going to be an outstanding player for us."
A couple notes of interest:
Eugene Amano was at center with Leroy Harris at left guard, while Mike Otto worked at left tackle for the excused Michael Roos.
Jason McCourty worked with the front line defense as the second cornerback opposite Cortland Finnegan.
Fisher said the center and second corner spot could still be subject to change.
Receiver Kenny Britt has not been around a lot, and rather than risk a muscle pull, he was put with rehabbing players. The way Fisher said it, it sounded like a punishment/ wake-up call situation to me.

EAGLE MOUNTAIN — A report from the Utah state auditor highlights problems in Eagle Mountain related to travel expenses, receipts and lax scrutiny of employee time cards.
The audit, which was released Monday, does say the Utah County city complied with state law in transferring money from its natural gas and electricity proceeds to cover worker hours related to utility issues.
"I'm grateful that the process was seen through to the end and at the conclusion the main point of contention that was a concern for many residents — being that we were using utility funds for other purposes improperly — we were vindicated, I guess, in that sense," newly-elected Mayor Christopher Pengra said.
Residents blasted the city a year ago when their utility bills soared, and the ordeal prompted a town hall meeting with the mayor, City Council and hundreds of residents.
City officials have said the expensive bills were due to extreme cold last winter, an accidentally long billing cycle that was due to an equipment failure, and because of tens of millions of dollars in outstanding loans related to utility infrastructure.
"There were multiple issues that resulted in high utility rates," Pengra said.
Former Mayor Heather Jackson also expressed relief over the report.
"Just glad it's finally done and it showed that the utilities are all in order and we're doing things properly at the city," she said.
Not everybody was instantly satisfied by the findings of the audit related to utilities.
"I have a hard time believing that, honestly," resident Lisa Kennington said Monday. She said her bill increased by 50 percent at the height of the difficulties last year.
"There's just too much speculation that I think hasn't been looked into well enough," she said.
The audit did find troubles in other areas.
According to the report, $6,049 in travel costs from 2011 to 2013 may have been "improper or unnecessary." The report said those costs included $379 in travel expenses to multiple rodeo events for Jackson's husband.
"The city represented that the payments were made because the spouse was a member of the city's informal rodeo committee," the report states. "However, not all members of the informal rodeo committee attended the convention. As such, we question the merit and appearance of this justification given the relationship to the former mayor. The city should only pay costs for people on official city business and not those of companions choosing to travel with them."
Jackson said her husband was actively involved in the committee and provided "a lot of good service" to the city.
"I feel like he did a lot of good things for that process and helping the rodeo to be a success," she said. "Going to the PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) convention was critical to helping the city put on an excellent rodeo. And it became an award winning rodeo after we attended our first PRCA convention."
Additionally, the report found "inadequate or no supporting documentation" for 38 of 59 payments auditors checked that were connected to event-related travel.
It also found lax scrutiny of time card approvals, with three of 13 that were checked lacking an employee signature and four failing to include a supervisor signature — signatures that the city requires.
Jackson said the time card approvals were not her responsibility at the time of the audit.
The report also highlights issues with "insignificant" property valuations and suggested county Tourism, Resort, Cultural and Convention tax funds may have been misused when city officials purchased a small preliminary model instead of a life-size Pony Express rider statue.
Pengra said several of the issues had already been addressed and others are being addressed.
"As an elected official, my responsibility first and foremost is to have positive stewardship over the taxpayer dollars," Pengra said. "Everyone followed the policies and procedures that were in place, but we simply need to increase that and exercise better judgment as an elected official to make sure that I'm not moving in that direction where we're placing ourselves in a situation where we're not being as good of stewards as we ought to be."

Where No One Stands Alone Lyrics
Artist: Alison Krauss
Album: I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as the sea
And my heart was afraid and I cried,
Oh Lord, don't hide your face from me.
Hold my hand all the way, every hour, every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone.
--- Instrumental ---
Like a king, I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing in this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone.
Hold my hand all the way, every hour, every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone...

modTuner Pro - a Modern Musical Instrument Tuner for Windows 8
Melbourne, Australia, Feb 13, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Burnt Fuse has recently released modTuner Pro for Windows 8, a modern take on a musical instrument tuner, to take full advantage of the Windows 8's modern style for tablets, notebooks and desktops. modTuner Pro adds several advanced features to modTuner, Burnt Fuse's well received chromatic tuner available for free on the Windows 8 store.
modTuner Pro features everything you would want in a professional chromatic tuner including drop/capo and transposition tuning, concert A calibration, a strobe tuner or note tape, 44 tuning temperaments (including Pythagorean for tuning orchestral strings in perfect fifths), a noise filter and high sensitivity mode.
"We're proud of the fact that we have developed our own robust, reliable and advanced pitch detection algorithm to power modTuner Pro. This is not an easy feat to accomplish. The algorithm is capable of reliably and accurately detecting the entire pitch range of an 88 key piano from A0 to C8, which will cover double basses, guitars, ukuleles and violins through to piccolos.", said Gavin Gregson, Technical Director of Burnt Fuse.
"With the new, modern interface style introduced in Windows 8, we wanted to develop something different from the existing chromatic tuner designs which tend to mimic traditional hardware. We completely reimagined the design of what a tuner should look like and modTuner Pro provides a large easy to read display as well as attractive backgrounds which light up when a reliable tone is detected to give you greater confidence while tuning." modTuner Pro is currently available on the Windows Store as a 7 day trial or purchase for USD2.99.
See modTuner Pro on the Windows Store.
" I just paid my $2.99 and you should too!... Thank you for making a great app for my Surface and laptop!" "Awesome app! Have tried all the other tuners in the store and have found that this is the only one that actually works as a chromatic tuner." Join Burnt Fuse on Facebook for support, feedback and up to date news.

Our brother Tim Challies is thinking about the regulative principle of worship. Here's an idea that needs recovery and wider use. For those interested in a longer treatment, Lig Duncan's 1st two chapters in Give Praise to God ("Does God Care How We Worship?" and "Foundations for Biblically Directed Worship") are probably the best treatments I've read on the subject. Also useful was D.G. Hart and John R. Muether's With Reverence and Awe: Returning to the Basics of Reformed Worship.
If you haven't seen it already, the new edition of 9News is available. It's an excellent issue focuing on biblical theology.
The brothers over at Pulpit Live are offering their thoughts on the emerging/emergent church movement, most of which is taken from an upcoming book from John MacArthur.

An interview with the directors of "Swiss Army Man."
"The Paperboy" is great trash, and as Pauline Kael told us, the movies are so seldom great art that if we can't appreciate great trash, we might as well not go at all. This is a humid, deep South wallow in raunch, with the wrong man on Death Row, the right man lurking in a swamp with his inbred family, a dead sheriff, a curious newspaper reporter, a slutty blond slattern, the younger man who adores her and alligators, lots of 'em.
The characters in "The Paperboy" spend a lot of time wading up to their waists in swamp water, and the movie wades in right along with them. When the movie played at Cannes last May, some viewers hooted and complained a movie in such bad taste shouldn't have been shown in the French temple of film art. I have news for them. If this film has been in good taste, that would have been in bad taste.
Set in 1969, "The Paperboy" stars Matthew McConaughey as Ward Jansen, a reporter for the Miami Times, who is visiting his hometown of Lately, Fla., because he believes a man on Death Row has been wrongly convicted for the murder of a sheriff. That man is Hillary Van Wetter (John Cusack), a human snake with a vicious streak, who we suspect should be executed on general principle. Ward recruits his kid brother Jack (Zac Efron) as an assistant to himself and his fellow reporter Yardley Acheman (David Oyelowo), a black man with a British accent that has the locals looking at him sideways.
They meet up with Charlotte Bless (Nicole Kidman), a trashy blond who seems to fashion her appearance after close study of the Trashy Lingerie catalog. She could have been the model for the dames on the paperback covers of Mickey Spillane steamers in the 1950s. Charlotte has never met Hillary Van Wetter, but they've been corresponding and are engaged to be married.
I know a lot of women fall in love with men on Death Row, but Charlotte is a case study. She's in love with the very hopelessness of her romance, its masochistic idealism. In a scene that defies description, Ward and Jack take her for her first in-person meeting with Hillary, and so much does their romance reside in their fevered minds that they achieve simultaneous orgasm while 10 feet apart.
A scene like that takes courage, but Nicole Kidman isn't finished. Charlotte is a merciless flirt around poor Jack, a champion swimmer who has been booted out of college and comes home to deliver papers for the local newspaper owned by his father (Scott Glenn). His lean and muscular body seems to contain a brain that is not in equally great shape. Charlotte reclines seductively on the beach next to him, with various bits peeking out in friendliness from beneath her bikini. To cool off, Jack plunges into the ocean and is attacked by jellyfish.
Half-conscious, he crawls ashore, and some local girls scream that the allergic reaction can be reversed by quickly urinating on him. That's the kind of life-saving information, which, if true, you'd think would be widely known. Whether it works or not, you will discover in "The Paperboy."
This lurid story begins by being told in flashback by the Jansen family's cook and maid, Anita Chester (Macy Gray), who has seen some hard times since the events took place. She seems to know exactly what happened but is reluctant to come right out and say, and if I were a black maid in 1969 in Lately, Fla., you wouldn't get a peep out of me.
"The Paperboy" is the first film directed by Lee Daniels since he made "Precious," and it shows the same instinct for overwrought melodrama. It's based on a novel by Pete Dexter ("Paris Trout"), who co-wrote the screenplay, and follows in the tradition of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiaasen and John D. MacDonald, who all seem to draw a peculiar inspiration from the murks of Florida.
I know exactly the kinds of people who booed this film at Cannes. They cheer minimalist dirges filmed in gloom and defiant obscurity. I sometimes admire such films. But with "The Paperboy," you have to wade in there up to your waist and be prepared to take all necessary measures against jellyfish.
The new "Ghostbusters" film brings a battle between distorted nostalgia and the power of a child's imagination.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Estonia to extradite fugitive Russian ex-lawmaker
There are 1 comment on the Let's be smart story from Oct 27, 2013, titled Estonia to extradite fugitive Russian ex-lawmaker. In it, Let's be smart reports that:Early in October, the Tallinn District Court cancelled the extradition of Dmitriyev.

The Justice Ministry of Estonia has decided to extradite fugitive banker and ex-lawmaker Alexander Dmitriyev to Russia, the Ministry's spokesperson Maria-Elisa Tuulik announced Thursday.
Dmitriyev was detained in the country in January on fraud charges.
Early in October, the Tallinn District Court cancelled the extradition of Dmitriyev. The court refused the extradition on the grounds that the motion filed by the Justice Ministry was legally unsubstantiated.
The Russian Investigative Committee earlier reported that Dmitryiev, who headed the Omsk branch of "AK Bars Bank" in 2007-2009, issued over 100 mortgage loans using forged documents and fictitious personal data, totaling up 350 million rubles ($11 million).
Later, with the help of the accomplices, many of whom were his governmental aides in municipal parliament, he allegedly funneled the money out to a number of front companies. From these funds Dmitryiev indulged himself in luxury cars, a boat and an airplane, the investigators say.
Dmirtyev managed to escape justice and was put on an international wanted list in 2011. He faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

Kate Upton And Cameron Diaz's 'The Other Woman' Is Essentially 'The First Wives Club'
Published 5:54 pm, Friday, April 25, 2014
"The Other Woman" hits theaters this weekend, but you may have seen something similar before — at least according to the trailer.
The Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton-starring comedy is essentially a modern day "First Wives Club."
In "The Other Woman," the women strike up an unlikely friendship after figuring out they're involved with the same man and plot to get revenge. In 1996's "The First Wives Club," Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton, and Bette Midler set out to get revenge against their individual ex-husbands.
Here's how the two story lines go down.
North Carolina may change its controversial 'bathroom law' — but critics say it's not enough

Once the women figure out they're being cheated on, they bond and spy:
As a result of what they see, they get drunk and sad:
Once sober, they vow to take revenge. This involves scheming in a car:
There's a whiteboard on which the women write the steps in their plan. Progress is made!
Mission accomplished over lunch at a fancy NYC restaurant. Cheers!

In the 20-year history of the Mercedes German Masters competition at the Stuttgart CSI (Germany), only three women have earned the title. And this year, on Nov. 16-19, it went to Malin Baryard-Johnsson of Sweden.
Heavy odds had been favoring another woman, German Meredith Michaels-Beerbam. But Michaels-Beerbaum fell half a second short and ended up in third.
"I had reckoned on Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum to best my time since she went after me. But, it just makes me even more happy about my victory," Baryard-Johnsson said.

The Toronto-listed explorer said that production and sales have averaged around 4300 barrels per day of oil over the past ten days, higher than output before the field was shut in on 8 August.
Oryx Petroleum chief executive Michael Ebsary said that "tangible improvements to the security environment in the Kurdistan region have enabled us to resume all activities at our core asset".
He said that the company hoped to minimise delays in its production and development ramp-up at the field as a result of the interruption.
While sales are presently to the domestic market, work is continuing on connecting the production facilities to the Kurdistan - Turkey export pipeline, with completion expected by the fourth quarter, Oryx Petroleum said.
Oryx Petroleum added that appraisal activities at the explorer's Ain Al Safra and Banan discoveries remained suspended pending further improvement in the security environment in the westernmost portions of the Hawler license area.
Canada's ShaMaran Petroleum said on Tuesday that operator Taqa had resumed drilling on their Atrush block last Saturday after a halting operations in the same week as Oryx Petroleum.
Many international companies made moves to suspend or reduce operations and relocate or withdraw staff from Iraqi Kurdistan in the wake of the ISIS terrorist group's rapid advances in the region, including ExxonMobil, Chevron, OMV, Genel Energy, Afren and Hess.

Samsung to launch OLED TV assault
Samsung is serious when it comes to OLED TVs. Super serious in fact. Already the largest manufacturer of LCD panels, and also the largest manufacturer and supplier of mobile OLED displays, Samsung is determined to be the market leader when it comes to large scale OLED TVs.
Reports suggest that Samsung is all systems go for a OLED TV factory in 2012. The idea is to have the production team all operating at the same place, as it did when it set up its Samsung Mobile Display division in 2009 to focus on mobile OLEDs.
If this goes ahead then it can only be good news for the stuttering OLED TV marketplace, which has struggled due to high production costs and sluggish demand.
Speaking to EE Times, Brian Berkeley, former Apple employee and now vice president of Samsung's OLED R&D, said that OLED TVs are no longer a "science fair" project and claimed that OLED TVs are definitely viable.
"We have significantly improved yields and line efficiency", he said. "Material development has been accelerated, backplane technology improved and a number of advancements made in colour patterning". Berkeley also stated that OLED 3D TV is significantly better than LCD 3D TV.
We're very excited by a future dominated by OLED TVs. Last month we told you how LG had released the first official OLED TV in the UK, the EL9500. Sure, it costs an extortionate £1700 for a mere 15 inches but it's only 3.2mm thick. If Samsung can make a success of its plans, and make OLED TVs more commercially viable, then one day, we may just look back and laugh at our fat LCD TVs in the same way we now mock old CRT TVs.
Are you looking forward to the OLED TV revolution? Or is it never going to get off the ground? Let us know what you think.

Does this face look familiar? Maybe you remember Jon as the fifth season winner on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" or have seen him on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" or the half-hour special "Comedy Central Presents: Jon Reep". If it's not from his standup performances, then you probably recognize Jon from his appearances on HBO's "Eastbound and Down" and ABC's hit show "Blackish."
He has also appeared on Dodge's popular ad campaign, "Hemi Guy", where Jon is known to millions as the redheaded hillbilly famous for leaning out of his rusty beater and uttering, "That thing gotta Hemi?" You also know Jon as the redneck farmer from "Harold and Kumar: Escape Guantanamo Bay" and television host of "Are you Faster than a Redneck" on the Speed Channel.
Now based in Los Angeles, Jon is one of the hardest working comics in America, performing on television, in films, and selling out clubs and theaters across the country. His show is supersonic energy filled with non-stop characters, super clever writing and of course the one talent that separates Jon from all other comedians in the world: He's the best redneck dancer since Elvis.
Check out his podcast at: http://sideshownetwork.tv/category/podcasts/comedy/the-jon-reep-show/
Hailed as one of the top 50 Latino comics in the U.S., Bronx native Angelo Lozada attributes his upbringing in the boogie-down for his comedic stylings. His career has included stand-up, sketch comedy, writing, theater and film. His television stand-up credits include NBC's Showtime at the Apollo, BET's Comic View, SiTV's Latino Laugh Festival, and most recently, Martin Lawrence Presents: First Amendment on the STARZ cable television network.
Housed at the famed Nuyorican Poet's Café for twelve years, his acclaimed comedy troupe, Nuyorican Rule appeared in Showtime at the Apollo and veteran comic Robert Klein's New Joke City. As co-founder and head writer, Lozada wrote and performed about urban experiences, challenging race, class and gender stereotypes through comedy. This revolutionary comedy troupe has inspired numerous other urban comedy troupes and is often recalled and invited to return to large and small stages.
In addition, Lozada has numerous writing credits on different media, including animation, digital, print and commercial. Lozada has been a head writer on the animated series, Lugar Heights, featured on Galavision, MTV3, MUN2, MTV3, a head writer for comedynet.com, and monthly columnist focusing on Latina/o culture for the New York Daily News. He has also found commercial success in head writing for a national advertisement campaign for Burger King.
His acting experiences include both theatre and film. In 2009, Lozada was invited and accepted to perform in the New York Stage and Film's production of A Shoe Story, written by acclaimed New York City Hip Hop Theater writer/artist Ben Snyder and directed by In the Heights' Tommy Kail. His film appearances have included Destination Unknown, Arrangement, The Start-up, and Blind Leading the Blind, one of the 2007 New York City's Latino International Festival's featured short films.
Proud to perform in English and Spanish, Lozada enjoys using his Puerto Rican heritage to unite folks of all backgrounds to understand the human experience through laughter.
