' 11 Claims. (01. 260102) ES PATENT OFFICE vide a process for refining cellulose esters wherein organicacid esters of cellulose and the manufacture' of high-grade,v non-hazing, organic acid esters of cellulose. This application is a con- 'tinuation-in-part of ourapplicatiom'serial Numiber 669,546 now Patent Number 2,024,246 of Dec.
As set. forth in our copending application, in some" instances in which cellulose esters are employed such as, in laminated glass, photographic film, etc, it becomes important that the ester be of very high quality, free from haze and dust particles, and capable of withstanding heat and intense light, and othersevere conditionswhich may be met with in use. For instance, if "the cellulose ester is employed in safety glass, it
should be capable of withstanding intense sun'- light. If the cellulose ester is employed formoving picture film, it must be. capable of withstandingintense artificial light. Presencejof hazeand 'discolorationin much of the safety glass now.em'- 'ployed, is common knowledge, and is one drawback against a moreuniversal adoption of safety glass. It is, therefore, apparent that many ordi nary cellulose esters prepared in conyentional "ways yield cellulose esters unsatisfactory for the aforementioned uses.
One object of our'in'vention is to provide a methodfor refining and manufacturingcellulose 730;
esters, and in particular cellulose acetate, wherevby products of excellent clarity, freedomirom.
haze and dust particles, and capable of withstand ing the efiects. of elevated temperatures and i severe light intensities,.may'be obtained. An-
other object is to preparethe cellulose ester in a granular form, so that solutions thereof may be readily prepared. Or in faciait may be readily susceptible to any other treatment which it is desired toadminister thereto. A further object is to provide a process in which theparticlesize 7 I a of the final highly purified cellulose ester, and
-inparticular cellulose acetate, maybe regulated,
' and in which a product of uniform size may be obtained.
" A'still further objectis to provide a process for manufacturing highly refined, non-hazing cellulose esters by. a novel method which is capable jof, employing existing equipment and pipingof the typenow usually employed for the manufacture'of ordinary cellulose esters. A still further object is to provide a refining process for manufacturing high-grade cellulose esters requiring simple and inexpensive control, yet capable of duplication of particle size and the production oi aconstant product. Another object is to prothe solvents employed may be readily removed from the refined ester. Other objects will appear hereinafter.
' We have found'that a high-grade, non-hazing V cellulose ester of uniform particle size may be obtained by the procedure set forth herein, which includes obtaining or preparing the cellulose ester, redissolving the ester as set forth in detail herein, filtering, re-precipitating under the carefully controlled conditionsstated and recovering the ester produced. The ester, resulting from our novel refining treatment is of improved quality and is resistant to the action of elevated tempera- A tures, light rays and other agencies which adversely affect the clarity and increase the haze of sheets of ordinary commercial cellulose esters heretofore employedJ Our product has proven to be acceptable commercially, and capable of withstanding the conditions of light and heat generally encountered in commercial use.
Our refining process may be applied to a previously prepared cellulose ester or to cellulose esters from various sources and will convert such esters into esters having improved qualities. Our
' lose ester is as follows: A good grade of cellulose,
for example, in the form of cotton linters or wood pulp, may be subjected toa pretreatment with an aliphatic acid such as'acetic acid, in the case of cellulose acetate manufacture. treatment may consume from one to six hours at temperatures from 60 to 200 F. Such a pretreatment may be omitted, but it is preferred, since it facilitates estenfication, which in the instance under consideration would be acetyla- This pretion, and is accomplished by adding acetic anhydride, and aliphatic acid to the pretreated cellulose. An acetylation catalyst, such as sulfuric acid or zinc chloride, may be present and the acetylation carried out fora period of two to eight hours, depending on specific conditions,
with temperatures varying between and 150.
- After the acetylation treatment, the mixture may be subjected to hydrolysis or ripening, for a period'which may vary from around 20 to hours. This hydrolysis or ripening is accom- *itated product is washed from 15 to 40 times with clean (preferably filtered) water, and preferably one or more times with distilled water, in order to move the bulk of the acid. This procedure may be varied somewhat, and the cellulose ester Washed in warm distilled water and'rinsed and filtered in distilled water, the'object being to fully and thoroughly wash the cellulose ester, t ereb v d nsnarrrin into the subsequent refin t s de r men al-componen s- Th wot wet ce lulo acetate ,may then be dried to some extent by centrifuging. If the cel- .lulose acetate is to be subsequently redissolved in an acetone-Water solvent, .the degree ,of drying ,the cellulose acetate may ,be more limited than in the-instance where it is desired to re disr solve the cellulose acetate in ,chemicallypur'e acetone or acetone-menthanol. Thereforeifdee sired the centrifuged cellulose ester may hejully dried before redissolvingit.
,As the description proceeds, the reason for using any particular one of the several solvents vmentionedwill .be apparent. ,is an important feature of the'lpresent process, .andflthe proper choice and use {of .a solvent in this part of ,the process assists ,in the elimination of some of ,the .constituents which otherwise {might 1inpart undesirable .characteristics to .therefined ester.
The cellulose-acetateis dissolved in-the example under consideration, in any one of the solvents, C. P. acetone, acetone-water, ac etone-rnenthar nol. The resulting solution is then ,runthrough on or mo fi te n e ts :0 m mbrane -pre erably under pressure. The filtered-solution is th e e i o dan e-wi h nm the s eral waysdescribedherein, to precipitatethe ester from solution. Precipitationis so regulated in-all ;in accordance -,;with the several steps set forth because it produces an initial cellulose ester of the ,highest quality obtainable which, when subjected to theseveral refining stepsdescribedprod e -a exc lle t.nomhaz nsc ulo es is, however, possible to employ cellulose esters from other sources and;made by 7 other processes and these-esters after "refining by our-process will possessimproved ualities.
The accompanying '-drawing diagrammatically illustrates an apparatus combination which may b i mp for ar nst u a-the re ni s eps in accordance withourinvention. In accordance with one embodiment precipitated ester, ,which has beentsubjected to the.seyeralwashing-treatment a read d sc bed. :i trans e d :t a
drying unit which includes a centrifuge and if desired a heating dryer. From here the cellulose ester may be removed and dissolved in a suitable solvent of the type described in the mixer A. Or a cellulose ester from some other source may be placed in mixer A and dissolved. The contents of mixer A may be run by gravity or pumped into .a storage tank B, from which it is forced into a filter press C, either by the weight of the solution in the tank B or by means of a pump. The solut io n may be refiltered by including a second filter press the combination, it being understood, however, that 'our invention is not limited in this respect. The filtered solution is then led into the precipitating unit diagrammatically indicated at D. This precipitating unit may be of the type operated and describedin our copending application S. N. 669,645, now Patent 2,024,246 of Dec. 17, 1935, or it may be of the structure described in the aforementioned Patents 1,560,554 and 1,884,947. After completing the precipitation, the mass in .the'precipitation unit may be diluted .with yvater to around 2 0-25 concentration to prevent subsequent coag lation. The resulting mass containing the cellulose ester in suspension is then led into a unit designated E where the liquid and solid particles are separated.
1 The following specific example is set forth to illustrate our process of preparing a high grade cellulose acetate. These examples areset forth merely for the purposes of illustration.
About 4,500 lbs. of the cellulose acetate prepared ,as indicated above and containing about 2% of moisture, 38-40% acetyl andlcharacter- .ized'by a 65-70 seconds 4:1 acetone viscosity was dissolved in about 25,500 lbs. of a solvent which was comprised principally of about 6,630 lbs. of distilled waterand 18,870 lbs. of acetone. This solution may be accomplished in a stainless steel or nickel-clad steel type mixer, equipped with a suitable agitator. A v
The resulting solution was filtered first through a plate and frame press dressed with several layers of 8-l0 ounce filter flannel and then .to a second filtration through a similar press dressed with several layers of filter cloth and several layers of filter paper.
A predetermined, definite quantity of about 2100 lbs. of the resulting filtered dope was meas-' ured into a large .deep stainless steel tank equippedwith an agitator, operating atar ound120 to 130 R. P. M. In the present instance, the predetermined quantity of about 1,150 lbs. of distilled water, cooledto about 20-25 C., was run into the agitated dope at the rate of about 370- 90 lbs. .per minute. .centration .of. approximately 50% acetone, ,by weight, and was the desired concentration under the conditions stated, to produce a precipitate of uniform particle size. The precipitated acetate was allowed to agitate for a few minutes after the water had been added. The temperature during this precipitation was maintained at around 20 C.-25 C] However, the temperature may be varied somewhat, say from l0 C. l0 C. according to the desired particle size of the precipitate. The lower the temperature the more readily the acetate Will precipitate and the lower the .temperaturethe smaller will be the particle size, other things being equal. After precipitation has been completed, sufficient water was added to reduce the acetone concentration to about 2025%. The cellulose acetate then may be allowed to settle or may be dropped through a bottom discharged to a centrifuge still orother This resulted in a condevice wherein the acetate may be recovered,
washed with distilled water and finally dried.
' ,One,particularlyefiective way of recovering the high grade; non-hazing organic ester in an acetone-free condition involvesthe settling of the *ester after precipitation either in' the precipitatingunit or another tank. The supernatant precipitation solution is decanted from the settled precipitate. Fresh water is then added and the remainder of the acetone distilled off.
Precipitation by bringing together predetermined quantities as described in the above example has a numberof advantages; Existing.
equipment'piping and the like, used in preparing ordinary cellulose esters, may be used without change. Simpler and less expensive control is available since expensive metering devices are not required. Precipitating conditions can be exactly duplicated because a definite amount of filtered ester and precipitant" are used. The composite particle size range can be more accurately duplicated because the variable factors such as amount ofinaterial in the precipitation, ratio of ard precipitating conditions and would, therefore, bemore uniform than when controlled atthe disprecipitant tosolids, changes in concentration of precipitant, and similar factors may be controlled or eliminated. In addition, the control of particle size would be automatically a function of standcretionof an operator. Instead of adding a definite amount of water or other precipitant to a definite'amount of filtered cellulose ester, a definite quantity of filtered cellulose ester may be added to a definite amount of'the'precipitant. That is, by adding the filtered cellulose ester to the precipitant, a
distinct advantage is available. By such tech- 1 nique the ester is originally precipitated from a 'solutiongunder the influence of the maximum concentration, of the precipitant. Throughout the precipitation the solvent power of the precipitant never exceeds thesolubility points of the ester, it
being clear from the disclosure herein that the predetermined'quantity of cellulose esteris such ing, ultimate solution and other treatment.
While in the above example we have described the'use of a precipitant comprising approximately 50% acetone by weight, the concentration of the precipitant may be varied considerably, either With' respect to a water-acetone precipitant or other precipitantfsuch as the acetone-methanol precipitant described in the next example. For
3 example with respect'to a water-acetone precipifitant, the Water concentration may range from ,45%-50% (depending on theparticular ester) and obtain a fine granular product. With the water concentration atabout the resulting precipitate will comprise large fibrous particles.
In order to obtain the finest particle size, the con centration of the aqueous acetone employed should.be that which just precipitates the cellulose ester from its solution.
The concentration of the precipitant may diffor according to the particular characteristics of the ester being treated. For instance, cellulose acetate having an acetyl content of about 40% 'will precipitate in an aqueous acetone having a lower water content than a cellulose acetate having anacetyl content of 37%. The susceptibility or cellulose ester to precipitation is considered fully. in Patent 1,878,953 of C. J. Malm.
In the above example, we have described dissolving the cellulose ester, prior to filtration, in an acetone-water solvent. The concentration of this acetone-water solvent may vary considerably as already indicated and outside of the values shown, and may range from about 50% up to as much as 95% acetone.
In the selection of a suitable concentration of the aqueous acetone it is well to keep in mind that if the viscosity of the solution is kept low this will facilitate the passage of the solution through the filter. The further the cellulose ester has been hydrolized, thehigher may be the water content of the aqueous acetone which may be employed as a solvent and which will give a solution having the minimum viscosity.
The procedure in the above example, or the procedure in our co-pending application, Serial No. 669,546, now Patent No. 2,024,246 of Dec. 1'7, 1935, may be rendered more effective in most instances'by the use of the particular solvents to be described in detail in the redissolving steps carried out in mixer A. By the choice of the proper solvent the filtration and other subsequent steps may become more effective.
The use of C. P. substantially pure acetone in place of acetone and water as a solvent for dissolving the cellulose ester to be purified presents some distinct advantages. For example, in cellulose acetate there may be a portion which is more soluble in acetone-water than in pure C. P. acetone. This portion may include a component such as over-hydrolized material, which might cause haze in the final product, if permitted to be taken up therein. If the acetate to be purified is dissolved in pure-acetone, some of these hazecausing substances, being insoluble, will be removed during filtration, and consequently will permit a more clear ultimate product to be obtained;
I The use of acetone-methanol as a solvent in our process for the production of the high-grade,
non-hazing cellulose ester may also present a number of distinct advantages. A more pure product can be obtained by virtue of the fact that certain materials such as waxes, resins,'and condensation products of sulfuric acid with cellulose, anhydride and other materials present during the acetylation are soluble in organic solvent mixturessuch as acetone-methanol, whereas they are insoluble in acetone-water mixtures for example. Consequently, by the use of an acetone-methanol solvent for dissolving a cellulose ester containing these impurities, these undesirable impurities are put into a form whereby they can be washed out during the refining process.
The following example will serve to illustrate the use of acetone-methanol in our process: About 4,500 lbs. of a good grade cellulose acetate was dissolved with about 19,000 lbs. of a 50-50 mixture of acetone and methanol. The resulting dope was filtered twice and. delivered to the precipitator at room temperature.
The precipitator was filled about one-third full with a solution comprised of 3 parts methanol and 1 part acetone. The agitator was started and dope and methanol pumped in at the rate of 90 lbs. and approximately '73 lbs. per minute respectively. The methanol was cooled to 2025 C., before use. The resulting precipitant was at all times approximately 3 parts methanol and 1 part acetone but may be varied as previously indicated depending on temperature and the particle size desired. The precipitator was allowed to become half full when the discharge valve was opened sufiiciently to maintain the level at the half mark.
From this point on, the process was carried out substantially identical with the above acetonewater process and the washing treatment, in removing any remaining acetone-methanol, also removes the undesirable impurities contained therein.
An example of a process using C. P. acetone as a solvent is nowgiven: The equipment required for this processis substantially the same as that specified for the previous example. About 4,500 lbs. of 2% H2O, 38.5-39% acetyl, (55-70 seconds 4:1 acetone viscosity cellulose acetate was dissolved in 19,000 lbs. of C. P. acetone. The acetone solution was filtered one or more times and the acetate precipitated therefrom by running dope and 2025 C. distilled water simultaneously into the precipitator at the rate of about 90 lbs. of dope and approximately 73 lbs. of water per minute. This produces a precipitant of substantially constant concentration at all'times during the precipitation period; The amount of water may vary somewhat depending on the temperature. From this point on, the process is similar to the above described process and the precipitated ester is recovered, washed and dried.
It may be seen from the several examples above that our process may be varied to some extent. While we have described the use of three parts of methanol to one part of acetone, these proportions may be varied, dependent on the particular ester under treatment, the temperature, the particle size desired, to from about one part of methanol to three parts of acetone both as to the solvent and the precipitant. While we have described our process as applied to quantities of cellulose esters amounting to several thousand pounds, our process may be applied to smaller or larger quantities, it being understood that a corresponding change be made in the proportion of solvent, precipitant and the like. Other changes may be instituted without departing from the spirit of our invention.
As has been pointed out herein, various organic acid esters of cellulose, other than cellulose acetate, such as cellulose acetate propionate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate butyrate and the like may be prepared by processes as carried out in accordance with our invention,
The product prepared according to our invention, due to its fine particle size, may be employed especially in situationswhere a cellulose ester which is. more readily susceptible to action of various agents, such as solvents, is desired. For instance, a cellulose acetate resulting from our invention will dissolve more quickly in an organic solvent in which it is soluble than an untreated cellulose acetate of the same kind. Also, due to its clarity and freedom from impurities and haze, cellulose esters refined by our invention are especially suited for use in products in which transparency is of importance, such as in laminated glass or photographic film. These refined esters especially those of particularly fine particle size,
such as 40 mesh or finer, may be employed in the manufacture of molding powders which when subjected to heat and pressure form molded products of good quality.

A comment says "I got no words. This is one of the greatest videos I've seen in my life."
He's right. It is. Go here.
It's strange that I feel constrained against embedding it, since it's ART, pictures from museums, the finest products of human civilization. But it shows that all you have to do is animate a few details of the great paintings, and hello: NSFW. Nothing is added, but everything is revealed. It's as if the stopper was removed and the essence of the images poured out after centuries of imprisonment.
Leaving aside the technical wizardry and exquisite editorial judgment, there's something else about the video that makes you stop: you're seeing the next generation of computer-animated movies, if someone is smart. Compare the realism of the paintings to, oh, the Croods.
We're used to this cartoony style; fine detail on plants and fur equals "realism," but it's a plastic style that relies on perfection to convince. Even Pixar, with their remarkable new tools for rendering light, looks utterly fake compared to this -
A movie in this style would have to confine its running time to under an hour and a half, because it would be a nine-course meal comprised entirely of marzipan, but it would be unlike anything anyone had seen.
While we're on the subject of manipulation, here's some Inception-style dream fodder:
Via Colossal, it's a piece on Victor Enrich, a photographer who manipulated the same building 88 times.
Ran across that link after watching THIS, which made Mesmer himself say "now this is precisely the sort of thing to which my name should be attached, even though no one will remember who I was." The photographer shot subway platforms with a 50 fps camera, and slowed it down. All these strangers, auditioning for oblivion.
Still around? C'mon. Go watch.
TYPE WARS You don't associate font makers with bitter legal fights and nasty public sundering, but Fast Company says:
Hoefler & Frere-Jones--perhaps the world's most renowned type foundry whose fonts have been seen everywhere from the pages of GQ to Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign--is splitting up. And it's a nasty parting--the legal equivalent of a knife fight in the street.
If it's all true, and a popular font name gets sullied, will it join the ranks of fonts whose creators had troublesome reputations? It's hard to use Gill Sans these days without thinking that the least of Mr. Gill's sins was his relationship with his dog.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln, the luxury automotive brand, today announced the launch of its new advertising campaign: "Introducing the Lincoln Motor Company."
Lincoln was originally called the Lincoln Motor Company in 1922, when Edsel Ford signed the agreement purchasing the company from its founder Henry Leland. During its early years, Edsel worked with numerous custom-body suppliers to make Lincoln one of the most distinctive luxury brands in the industry, with motorcars that were urbane, sleek and elegant – the epitome of understated luxury.
By reintroducing "The Lincoln Motor Company," the campaign captures the founding principles of the company and brings them forward to a new generation of progressive luxury buyers.
"Befitting this new chapter in the life of Lincoln we are making a complete new start in every aspect of consumer communication to emotionally welcome our new target customer into our brand," said Matt VanDyke, Director of Global Lincoln Brand. "It's not often this opportunity comes around so we intend to make the most of it and have our work in every medium be as fresh, surprising and distinctive as the new Lincoln vehicles and customer experiences will be."
The new campaign features the all-new MKZ premium midsize sedan and MKZ Hybrid, the first transformational vehicles for the new Lincoln brand. They will be arriving in dealerships by the end of the month.
The Introducing the Lincoln Motor Company theme will be carried across print, broadcast, digital media and Lincoln's own online platforms starting Dec. 3.
The first print ads will break in major national newspapers and online media on Dec. 3 as well. National print ads will appear in January 2013 issues of select business and consumer lifestyle magazines.
New Print Advertising
The newspaper print announcement features two all-type treatments. The first begins with the provocation, "Does the World Need Another Luxury Car?" debuting on Dec. 3, followed by "Hello. Again" debuting on Dec. 10. Both emphasize the values that once made Lincoln the leader in luxury automobiles and how these same values will be the key to its future development. These ads feature no images. A white, minimalist page with black typeface emphasizes simplicity in design.
The magazine print campaign offers an introduction to the brand and its focus on individuality. Each ad features a group of people who, at first glance, could easily be categorized, but who Lincoln recognizes as unique individuals in their own right. This campaign launches the all-new Lincoln MKZ midsize premium sedan.
The new television campaign weaves together examples of Lincoln's past with those highlighting present design innovation. The spots evoke what has historically made Lincoln stand apart in the luxury category, while using the new MKZ as the face of the reinvented brand. There are a number of quick-cutting, artfully composed images that continue to add visual interest over multiple viewings.
New Digital Communications
A redesign of Lincoln.com, LincolnNow.com, and a brand-new app for Lincoln, Experience Lincoln, will become the portals through which a new generation can experience the grace and elegance of Lincoln's legacy and its link to the excitement of the all-new MKZ. Through Parallax layering, an elegant display will have continual running video, dynamic movement, and full-screen video and photos that allow one to experience the vehicle in an immersive way.
New Catalogs
The new catalogs feature contemporary, lush photography of the all-new MKZ. But a unique element has been added to provide a richer and more immersive experience. Using the new Lincoln app on a mobile device focused on the image (rather than a code or tag), the user can access iconic past Lincoln ads reimagined in a fresh new way, and even scroll back and forth between the two.
Introducing the Lincoln Motor Company is the first Lincoln campaign developed by HudsonRouge, the new WPP-owned Lincoln agency based in New York. All of the new creative work is intended to be an example of the fresh, new and surprising direction of Lincoln by embracing its iconic heritage with a new and exciting future.

About Lincoln
Lincoln is the luxury automotive brand of Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F), committed to creating compelling vehicles with an exceptional ownership experience to match. Lincoln will introduce four all-new vehicles in the next four years. For more information about Lincoln, please visit media.lincoln.com.

Customer Reviews

1. The Alcatel was so old that the physical wires in the RJ45 jack were different than was expected w/the new Actiontec (and apparently any modem more modern than the Alcatel). Thank goodness, an AT&T phone tech pulled that one out of some obscure corner of his head based purely on the flashing DSL light on the Actiontec, a modem he had never heard of. Took some wiggling around, but I managed to switch the wiring from the two outer contacts to the two inner, and got the DSL to sync.
2. The virtual circuit and virtual path settings were 0 and 35 by default on the Actiontec (not that I knew what that was before this exercise). The Alcatel wanted 8 and 35. Unfortunately, this is something set at the central office at AT&T, in my case specifically for the Alcatel. But it turns out you can change the setting on the Actiontec itself using their web interface, which I did. Reset it, and like magic, all four little lights glowed bright green, including the one saying I was connected to the Internet.
3. Sadly, the story was not over at that point. I could not figure out any way to get to the Internet. No gateway ping, no nothing. I finally figured maybe something was screwed up on the AT&T side. Sure enough, the next AT&T tech I talked to found that someone there had reset my account from a static IP address (something they used to hand out years ago) to PPPoE. They reset that back, and I could connect.
4. Next adventure: getting it to work in front of my Linksys router.Read more ›
I read an Amazon review of the Actiontec modem from another Centurytel user who described how well it worked, so I decided to take the plunge and order one.
I decided to try the modem by itself first without the Linksys in case there were problems. They would be easier to isolate this way. I ran the guided setup program and had the modem working in no time flat. The guided setup was a little confusing at one point with two choices for Centurytel in the menu. There was no explanation for what the difference between the two was. After some testing I found that option 1 connected and option 2 did not, so the choice then became clear.
After testing the modem by itself, I reset it to factory defaults to prepare it for connection to the Linksys. (I probably didn't need to reset, but I wanted to start fresh.) I changed the VC settings to 8/35 to match Centurytel's requirements and set the modem up for bridging. I connected it to the Linksys and configured the Linksys for the internet connection. I was able to establish a connection on the first try.
The Actiontec/Linksys combination has been working for several days now without the slightest hitch. Performance is very good, as close to the advertised speed of my DSL connection as one could expect.Read more ›
Used it with a wireless router connected. There are lots of configuration options so it can be a little intimidating if you're not familiar with networking.

Champion Salon Pro Roller Clips is rated out of 5 by 6.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Satisfied Customer from Perfect Product! I purchased a second set of electric rollers and they come with u-shaped pins that are awkward to use, so I always purchase a set of these clips for the rollers. I did a little research and found the best deal at Sally Beauty. They were delivered as promised and I'm very happy with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Justdan69 from Great Clips I purchased these clips as replacements for the ones that I lost. They work just as good as the original. I would recommend these as a replacement or having extras on hand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by divaM from Fabulous Clips! I do not like using the u-shaped holders that usually come with hot rollers. I purchased these clips and they are fabulous! It only takes trying them a few times to know how much hair a clip will hold when using a certain size roller. If the clip is not placed for maximum hold (and you have to vary where to place it, for example you may have to place it closer to the back of the roller or the front depending on where the roller is on your head)then it will flop around. You have to work with the amount of hair, size of the roller, where the roller is placed on your head to know how to use them to fit your individual needs. Once you understand the placement of everything, you'll find that they're the best!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kiwi623 from Doesn't hold heavy rollers well I got these for hot rollers that were given to me.One box had stronger clips than the other. The rollers flip all over the place with these. They will accommodate a larger roller but they don't hold that well. I have to keep them because I can't find others clips that will hold my rollers.Another down fall is that there are only ten in a box so I had to buy two boxes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Digi from Super helpful They really hold hot and cold curlers in place, what a relief from trying to get curlers to stay in place with all the other options that slip and slide off! They don't pull out or break off hair either, They are the best!

Will you ever stock these clips in black?
Hello and thank you for your question. Unfortunately we only have these in Ivory/ White and there is no word on if they will be in-stock in black. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Surveillance cameras proved to be a vital tool in helping to catch two suspected thieves on Tuesday.
Police were called out to the 5400 block of McArdle just before 3 p.m., where a business owner spotted Belinda Beltran, 32, and Michael Ramirez, 33, allegedly taking more than $1,400 worth of silver.
The cameras provided a good description, and police already knew one of the suspects and went to their neighborhood. The two were spotted and pulled over.
Beltran was found to have prior convictions for theft and her charges were upgraded to a felony. Ramirez was charged as well for shoplifting.
The jewelry was returned to the retail store.

In a story heard first on 1110 KBND, the head of Abilitree calls it his "field of dreams" a new much larger facility that is very visible. Executive Director of Abilitree, Jim Lee says they are hoping to move their 2 service sectors under one roof to the 12,000 square foot "Workensport" building on Reed Market and 9th Street. "One of the themes of that is bringing people with disabilities into the light of our community, and we want to have this be a legacy for our community and in the future people will know exactly where to go. Right now we're kind of buried in an industrial and residential area; tough to know where to go to get services." Abilitree is a local resource for adults with developmental and physical disabilities. Some Abilitree clients work at the Oxford Hotel, Deschutes Brewery and Sara Bella Upcycled. Lee was a guest on 1110 KBND's 'Your Town.'

DALLAS (AP) – Former President George W. Bush is to give brief remarks at a conference his Dallas-area institute is holding on energy regulation and growth.
The Bush Institute on Thursday will bring together experts, lawmakers and industry officials for the daylong conference at the George W. Bush Institute. Several panels are set throughout the day, including one with governors and policymakers on how to achieve energy growth.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback are set to attend that panel. Other panels will discuss topics including coal regulation and how environmentally friendly policies and growth policies can go hand-in-hand.
The institute is part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, which includes his presidential library and museum. It's on the campus of Southern Methodist University.

Just an FYI (on 1/22/11): I see comments and low-star ratings due to non-integration issues on the iPod, iPod Touch and iPad. This review was written in regard to it's integration with the Kindle. The real ACTUAL Kindle. It was written before the iPad even came into retail existence. Users of these other devices need to remember they are not using actual Kindles, but rather Kindle "applications" and should do a little research to see if certain features/options are available before buying. Hopefully, this helps with compatibility disappointments.
Dictionary: While reading books designed for students of Spanish (like first and second year) I was disappointed in the number of words that both the dictionary and I did not know.
For the price I find it an OK deal.
I want a more comprehensive dictionary. There are several for sale at MobiPocket. And Amazon owns MobiPocket....
There are a number of books in Spanish available for Kindle, including some you may have read in English...in case you want to start where setting, characters and plot are already somewhat familiar.
Ideally for this purpose I'd rather be able to designate an all Spanish dictionary as 'Primary,' but I haven't found any available for Kindle yet. Nor have I found an Italian dictionary of either sort (Italian-English or all Italian) that can function in this integrated way with other books on the Kindle.
FeedbooksDOTorg and gutenbergDOTorg have a number of books (mostly free) in other languages that are not found at Amazon.
1. It cannot find definition of verb-pronoun combined words (examples are: casarse, pensandolo, digamelo ...). Since a large proportion of the Spanish verbs are attached by reflective, direct and/or indirect pronouns, this means you will have to rely on another form of dictionary while having this particular dictionary installed, otherwise you will not find definition of a large proportion of verbs.
2. It cannot always identify the correct conjugation of the verb; as a result, it often produces irrelevant definitions based on an incorrect word.
3. A new entry is attached to the contents of the previous entry without a sign of division. Could not figure out why they can't put a division sign between the two separate, unrelated entries. This only shows that the product was not fully tested before going to the market.
4. I can't figure it out either, why it uses only two precious lines to display the definitions. Since most words would need more than two lines to fully define it, you would always need to go to the full dictionary page. This might be okay if Kindle is a very fast machine; unfortunately this is not the case. As a result, you have to wait the full dictionary page to appear, then wait for it to disappear, before you can resume your normal reading.
5. It goes only one-way Spanish-English; since kindles allows only one dictionary at a time, once you assigned it as the default, you lose the ability to do English-Spanish, or English-English.
These are not minor nuisances, which render me a quite unpleasant experience in using the product.Read more ›

What do Toni Morrison and Kurt Vonnegut have in common? Yes, they are both prolific authors with thousands of fans, but did you know that they both attended Cornell? I too did not know this until I did some extensive research into both of their lives after reading Cat's Cradle and Beloved back to back. Cat's Cradle is one of Vonnegut's most famous pieces of work. It chronicle the life of John, a writer who ends up visiting a dystopian society called San Lorenzo. His journey is filled with mystery, tragedy and intrigue, but I won't spoil it for you. Morrison's Beloved is the tail of a group of women haunted by and evil spirit at the end of the 19th century. These women face times of trial and incredible hardship but they find unity in their sisterhood. After reading both of these books, something seemed similar to me. These stories are expansive, full of beautiful prose and carefully selected words, but most of all, they are societally influenced. They examine the problems with society through satire and searing language. I'm not sure what these two authors learned during their years at Cornell, but I am thankful for whatever it was. Check out these books if you want to laugh, cry and understand the world we live in just a little bit better. You won't regret it.
I realized today that this novel is a young adult classic for a reason. Hinton's story is rich and deeply moving, detailing a short episode of the narrator's – Ponyboy's – life as he examines how people of different socioeconomic classes tend to segregate themselves and what truly marks these differences, money or otherwise. I'd […]

As a more modern classic, The Catcher in the Rye is different from most of the other classics I've read. First and foremost, the narrator, Holden Caulfield, is a sixteen-year-old, which I believe will make it easier for teens to relate to this novel on a personal level. In the book, Holden faces disillusionment with […]
