PHOTOS: When Kareena Kapoor's Saif was Amrita Singh's husband
Dailybhaskar.com | Jan 24, 2013, 14:39PM IST
Breakups are inevitably painful, especially when children are involved. But Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's split in the year 2004 was surprisingly, without many tears, recriminations, admonitions and the heartache that normally accompanies such tragic events. Saif and Amrita had not really been on very cordial terms since the time Saif's relationship with Italian girl Rosa Catalano surfaced so 2004 Talaaq was just a formal end to the an already dead relationship.
Despite the sour end, Saif Ali Khan (who is now married to Kareena Kapoor) and Amrita were together for 13 years and have two lovely kids Sara Ali Kham and Ibrahim. Here is look at some of the candid pictures of the ex-couple Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh.

Holy Week Meditations: Opening to the Complexity
When I look at my life, what keeps me from joy, from hope, from God is my inability to forgive God. Regardless of its theological correctness, I've experienced it as true. I've tried to create the right theological formula to avoid the inevitable, but eventually, all my theodicies have failed to register deep within my soul, in the places of pain. That question—why a good, all-loving, all-powerful God allows such profound evil and suffering in the world—plagues many religions and has inspired a variety of explanations. Perhaps God is limited. Perhaps our free will limits God. Perhaps suffering really is an ages-old punishment for humanity's sinfulness in some imaginary garden. Perhaps it all the evil of the world is payback for our sins. Perhaps evil has only to do with humanity and nothing to do with God, that it's a problem we created and so it's a problem that is also ours to repair.
But there's another option, a more difficult option: to forgive God.
Now, comparatively, it's easy to forgive humans. We're so deeply flawed that the only response is compassion. If I'm wronged, all I have to do is take a small, brief trip in my memory to find a moment when I wrought the same sin, or at least, wanted to. Unconditional forgiveness is the most basic form of humanity because it is the attitude most foundationally based on our human experiences.
But God is supposed to be perfect. God isn't supposed to be forgiven. That's what our religious institutions have told us for eons.
We often think of God as sacrificing God's own son for the forgiveness of the sins of humanity. But there's equal power in seeing God as coming down to live among us and dying for the forgiveness of God as well. My God, my God, why have you forsaken us? How many times have we uttered that phrase in our pain and suffering? When Jesus utters these words, there is no answer. We are left to imagine it. But what would you say if your lover cried out to you, regardless of its factual accuracy, My Beloved, my Beloved, why have you forsaken me? I do not know why, the lover replies. I am so sorry. Forgive me. Do not forsake me as well.
Can we imagine God, the Beloved, replying in such compassion to our experience of suffering? Or do we imagine God, coming out the whirlwind, to berate us like God did to Job?
All relationships need forgiveness. And in a relationship, all need to forgive, whether the wrongs are real or whether the wrongs are imagined, and all need to be forgiven for the same reasons. Perhaps there is some explanation too great for mortals to understand as we are told in Job, but God's answer to Job's pained question of My God, my God, why have you forsaken me always struck me as less than convincing. Perhaps our finity cannot match an understanding of infinity, but regardless, such an understanding doesn't change much when deep suffering strikes.
Sometimes I imagine that when we all finally get to heaven, we'll find God weeping into a bowl of dirty water, washing the feet of humanity, asking for forgiveness for all God has done and left undone in creation, and giving thanks that we decided to come home anyway.
O God, we forgive you for the suffering in the world, for the horror that masquerades as life, for the hunger, the thirst, the loneliness, the absolute silence of your voice. We forgive you of your trespasses against humanity as you forgive ours against you. And in doing so, may we understand that when our hands reach out in evil, your hands do too, that when our hearts reach out in compassion, your heart follows. Amen.

THE J. Paul Getty Museum plans to return a terracotta head depicting a Greek god to Sicily, after determining it was clandestinely excavated from an archaeological site in the 1970s.
The Getty acquired the piece, which is believed to date from about 300 or 400BC, in 1985.
Museum director Timothy Potts said it's believed it was taken from the Morgantina Archaeological Park in Italy.

Casimero-Lazarte Riot Causes Injuries, Ref To The Hospital
By Rick Reeno
BoxingScene.com first reported late Friday night that a full blown riot erupted in the wake of an IBF junior flyweight title bout between Filipino Johnreil Casimero (16-2, 10KOs) and hometown hero Luis "Mosquito" Lazarte (49-11-2, 18KOs). Casimero stopped Lazarte in the tenth round to capture the vacant IBF junior flyweight championship at Mar del Plata in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
As previously reported, the victory was never announced because a huge crowd of Argentine fans rushed the ring and attacked Casimero and his team, the IBF's officials, journalists and everyone else who tried to prevent the violence from getting worse. Chairs, bottles and punches were flying all over the arena, with very little intervention from the few police officers on the scene.
BoxingScene has since learned that well-known manager and international agent Sean Gibbons was beaten badly, getting cracked to the jaw, kicked in the head several times and possibly suffering broken ribs. Casimero was cracked over the head with a chair. He suffering minor injuries, as did his trainers. The crowd tried to pull Casimero out of the ring, but they were thwarted by a guard who pulled him under the ring to hide him from the crowd - and even referee Eddie Claudio was sent to the hospital to receive stitches to his mouth after catching a chair shot from the rioting crowd. Numerous other injuries were reported.
A video of the riot can be seen here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wB6GwA3iNU

Contingent Fees in DUI Cases
Ethics Rules Prohibit Contingent Fee Arrangements in Criminal and DUI Cases
A contingent fee is one where the lawyer gets paid only if he/she performs in a certain way. It is most commonly used in the context of personal injury cases, where the law firm gets paid a percentage of the winnings or settlement in the case.
The ethics rules governing lawyers prohibit the acceptance of a contingent fee in certain types of cases. The most common prohibitions are in criminal and family law matters.
Since DUI cases are all criminal (or involve a criminal and civil element), you will be hard pressed to find a lawyer who will accept your DWI on a pay-per-performance basis.
Warning: If you can convince a lawyer to represent you in a DUI on a contingency fee basis, the lawyer may be unethical, incompetent or both. Make sure you check with the Bar in your state to make sure that this type of arrangement is acceptable.
In family law cases (mainly divorce cases) the prohibition against this type of fee is because the law wants to encourage couples to reconcile whenever possible. If a lawyer only got paid if her or she won a family law case, there would be a strong push against the couple getting back together.
In criminal cases, including DUIs, it is not always in the client's best interest to go to trial. If the lawyer got paid only if he or she won the case, there is a chance that the lawyer would discourage the client from settling the case, even if settlement was in the client's best interest.

This application is based on and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/307,631, filed Jul. 24, 2001.
The present invention relates generally to a decorative surface covering for floors, walls, and the like. In particular, this invention relates to a surface covering which resists staining.
A surface covering typically comprises a composite of one or more resinous composition layers, including, for example, a decorative layer and/or wear layer, together formed on a backing sheet. The backing sheet generally comprises a relatively flat web or sheet material, that is, a material which functions as a support or carrier for the overlying resinous composition layer(s). Such backing sheet can comprise, for example, a felt material, a polymeric material, or a fiber-reinforced material, including, for example, fibers of glass and natural and synthetic fibers. The backing sheet can be a permanent ply of the final product or it can be separated from the overlying resinous composition layer; in the latter case, release paper is used as the backing sheet. For purposes of the present invention, the backing sheet is considered to be a permanent ply of the surface covering.
It has been observed that problems are encountered with respect to staining of the resinous composition layer of the decorative surface covering. In particular, stains visible on the surface of the covering are observed when staining chemicals, known in the industry as "stainants," for example, dyes and the like, diffuse through the surface covering from an underlying support surface on which the surface covering is placed. A widely used surface covering which is subject to the staining problem is a floor covering such as vinyl floor covering. In particular, stainants commonly diffuse from an underlying surface, for example, a wooden floor or floor mat which is in contact with the backing sheet of the floor covering, through the various layers of the floor covering where staining becomes undesirably visible to the eye of the consumer. The source of the stainant may be, for example, dyes, ink from pens or markers, coatings on nails or other hardware, adhesives used to bond the flooring to the substrate, or oils or extractives in the substrate itself, for example, from wood or wood-based substrates.
It is common practice in the flooring industry to install wood-based underlayment panels on top of a structural subfloor and just beneath decorative vinyl floor covering. The primary purpose of the panels is to provide a stable substrate of uniform thickness to which the floor covering is attached. Current commonly used materials for underlayment panels include strand board, particle board, and plywood. Generally, after the wood-based underlayment panels are installed, the vinyl floor covering is bonded adhesively or otherwise attached to the exposed surface of the panels. Various suitable adhesive materials, for example, fill-spread adhesive and perimeter adhesives, are used to attach the vinyl floor covering to the surface of the panels. Other vinyl floor covering attachment means include mechanical fasteners such as staples.
It has been observed that there is a tendency for stains to develop on the upper surface of the vinyl floor covering within approximately 3 to 24 months after attachment to the underlayment panels. Although the specific process of stain formation is not understood definitively, it is believed that, over such a period of time, certain stainants, emanating from the wood or otherwise, diffuse into the vinyl floor covering and migrate through to the surface of the covering and manifest themselves as "stains."
Attempts have been made to resolve the problem of staining, in particular, the prevention of the migration of stainants. Some researchers have observed that staining can be prevented or "blocked" by placing a sheet of aluminum foil between the wood underlayment panels and the vinyl floor covering. Presumably the stainants are insoluble in aluminum and, thus, are unable to migrate into the vinyl floor covering.
Unfortunately, the aluminum foil is not stable or durable, as it is torn or punctured readily and, therefore, not reliable as a cohesive barrier to the stainants. Also, various conventional adhesives used to secure the vinyl floor covering to the wood surface may not be compatible with the aluminum; and, further, aluminum foil is relatively expensive. It has been recognized also that various commercially available patching compounds which contain high levels of Portland cement may be used as stain-blocking barriers. The patching compound is applied to the top surface of the underlayment panels at the site of installation and allowed to set prior to installing the vinyl floor covering; however, such a method is relatively inconvenient and burdensome.
Other attempts to overcome the problem of staining are likewise deficient. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,891,294 and 5,981,058 disclose the use of a stain-blocking, barrier layer. The barrier layer is intended to be placed between the underlying support surface, for example, underlayment panels, and a layer of the surface covering. The barrier layer is comprised of at least one polyamide or polyurethane which has selective properties which are designed to prevent stain diffusion. It is recognized in the patents that there is a difficulty incurred in adhering the polyamide to the surface of vinyl floor covering, in which case a coating of adhesion promoter must be applied to both the top and bottom surfaces of the barrier layer. The application of such additional coatings may require additional curing time which would make for an inefficient operation.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,993,534 discloses another attempt to manage the diffusion of stainants, in particular, the use of a stain-blocking coating for use on the underlayment panels themselves. The patent discloses the pretreatment of wood-based underlayment panels at the manufacturing site of the panels. This involves pretreating the top surface of the panels with a liquid coating composition comprising an anti-staining agent, for example, an alkaline, inorganic, multivalent compound such as magnesium hydroxide. The composition may also include a binding agent for purpose of securing all of the solid, suspended particles in the coating composition to the wood substrate. In addition to magnesium hydroxide, sodium borate and magnesium oxide are taught to be suitable anti-staining agents; however, such compositions have a shorter shelf-life than those based on magnesium hydroxide and, therefore, require the disadvantage of on-site mixing at the manufacturing site.
From the foregoing it can be seen that prior art efforts to prevent staining of the resinous composition layer of decorative surface coverings involve the application of stain-blocking, barrier coatings or barrier layers between the support surface and the surface covering product. The present invention is directed to an alternative approach which does not require a distinct structural element such as a stain-blocking barrier coating or layer.
In accordance with the present invention, a surface covering is provided with a stain-adsorbing backing sheet. The backing sheet comprises an additive which is effective in adsorbing a stainant that comes into contact with the backing sheet and which is present in an amount effective to reduce the degree of staining which tends to be visible upon viewing the top surface of the covering. The additive may be any adsorbing material, and preferably an adsorbing material that does not affect adversely the visual characteristics of the sheet and surface covering. A particularly preferred additive is activated charcoal.
It has been found that the presence in the backing sheet of a stain-adsorbing additive is effective for retaining in the backing sheet a stainant which comes into contact therewith. This deters the migration or diffusion of the stainant through to the visible top surface of the surface covering which overlies the backing sheet.
Another aspect of the present invention is the provision of a process for forming a backing sheet for a surface covering in which the sheet is formed from an aqueous dispersion of solids and an additive which is effective for adsorbing a stainant which may come into contact with the sheet.
There are a number of advantages provided by the present invention. One important advantage is that the manufacturer can produce on a continuous basis a stain-resistant surface covering in a way which utilizes available equipment and known processing conditions which have become standard in the industry. In addition, species of the adsorbent additive of the present invention are available readily and of relatively low cost to the manufacturer.
It is noted that U.S. Pat. No. 5,679,443, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention, discloses the formation of a backing sheet which includes carbon black, a material that has adsorbent properties. However, it has been observed that, although carbon black is an effective adsorbent, there is a disadvantage associated with its use. The disadvantage is that the use of carbon black in effective "adsorbent" amounts in a backing sheet directly affects the color of the backing sheet and, consequently, the color and appearance of the surface covering. Accordingly, another significant advantage of the adsorbents of the present invention is that they can be used effectively in an amount which does not influence or impair adversely the visual characteristics of the backing sheet.
The present invention relates to a stain-adsorbing backing sheet for use with a decorative surface covering, to a decorative surface covering comprising a stain-adsorbing backing sheet, and to a method for forming a stain-adsorbing backing sheet. Referring to
The Overlying Decorative Layer
The present invention includes an overlying decorative layer 14 that may comprise, for example, one or more printed and/or embossed or foamed 14A and/or one or more wear layers 14B. Many types of decorative layers are known and are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,293,094; 4,212,691; 4,277,427; 5,645,889; and 5,733,630. It should be understood that the present invention is applicable to any surface covering having any type of overlying decorative layer 14 which is subject to becoming stained from its underside, that is, the overlying decorative layer 14 is understood to be of a composition such that a stainant is capable of migrating upwardly therethrough to produce a stain which is visible to the naked eye as one views the top surface 16 of the surface covering, for example, a surface covering having a transparent wear layer 14B.
An example of a widely used decorative layer 14 comprises a fused plastisol. As is known to those skilled in the art, a plastisol in the unfused state comprises solid thermoplastic resin particles dispersed in a liquid plasticizer. The application of heat to the liquid plastisol causes the gellation and eventual fusion of the plasticizer and resin particles. Although a number of resins are known in the art for use in plastisols, it is generally preferred that the resin comprise particles which are combined readily with the plasticizer to form a smooth, stable, flowable paste. Preferred resins include vinyl polymers and, more preferably, vinyl chloride polymers, for example, poly(vinyl chloride).
The plasticizer generally functions to increase the workability, flexibility and/or distensibility of the resin with which it is associated. The plasticizer is commonly selected on the basis of its compatibility with the resin, that is, its ability to form a gel, and ultimately a fused solid, when the composition is heated. As is well known, plasticizers are generally high-boiling, chemically and thermally stable organic liquids, low-melting solids or semi-solids. Those skilled in the art are capable of selecting the appropriate plasticizer for any particular application. Widely used plasticizers include ester compounds such as monomeric phthalate esters, dibasic acid esters, trimellitates, phosphate esters and polyesters.
The Backing Sheet
The backing sheet 12A functions as a carrier and support for the overlying decorative layer 14. It may be made of any suitable material. The nature of the material is such that it is capable of being penetrated by a stainant which comes into contact with the normally exposed surface of the backing sheet. The stainant may be present, for example, in an adhesive which is sandwiched between the surface of the backing sheet and wood-based underlayment panels or in a wooden substrate on which the surface covering is laid.
Backing sheets are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,679,443; 3,293,094; 3,293,108; 3,660,186; and 4,274,916, each of which is assigned to the assignee of the present invention. Materials from which the backing sheet can be made include natural and synthetic materials, for example, cellulose, cotton, jute, wool, rayon, nylon, polyester, polyolefin, polyamide, acrylic, glass, and metallic threads.
The backing sheet may be made, for example, of a felted or matted fibrous material of overlapping, intermingled fibers and/or filaments. Further, the backing sheet may be in a non-woven, knitted, woven or other form. In addition, the backing sheet may be made from a resinous material or from paper or from mineral filled fibrous compositions. Furthermore, the backing sheet may comprise a laminate or composite of one or more of the above-noted materials. It is preferred that the backing sheet be made of felt.
The thickness of the backing sheet depends upon various factors, including, for example, the particular surface covering in which it is used and the particular use of the surface covering. Normally, the thickness of the backing sheet will be in the range of from about 10 mils to about 90 mils, although thicknesses outside of this range can be used.
Backing sheets which are used widely in floor coverings are formed typically from a slurry of fibrous material and water using any of the techniques conventionally employed in the manufacture of paper. For example, sheet formation can take place on a Fourdrinier or cylinder machine or any other type of web-forming machine. The fiber slurry is diluted with water until it has a preferred consistency or percent solids concentration. It is then pumped to the web-forming machine and formed into a sheet material of the desired thickness and weight. The bulk of the slurrying water drains downwardly from the mass of fibrous materials through a moving screen of the web-forming machine and, subsequently, additional water is removed by a conventional press section by being passed under pressure through conventional felts or pressure rolls. The moist sheet is then passed through a conventional drier section where it passes in contact over a number of conventionally heated dryer rolls or cans. A substantially dry sheet leaves the last drying can and is formed normally into a roll or sheeted into size or held for further use or processing. The fibers of choice for the backing sheet of the surface covering of the present invention include cellulose, fiberglass, polyester and/or polyamide.
The backing sheet 12A may be covered with an optional layer 12B, for example, one or more layers comprising foamed or non-foamed resin. Such resin layers are well known and comprise one or more synthetic resins, for example, a polymer or co-polymer or vinyl chloride or a polyurethane. Resin layer 12B will typically have a thickness of from about 10 to about 80 mils.
The Additive
In accordance with the present invention, the backing sheet 12A includes an additive which is effective in adsorbing a stainant in a manner such that staining of the overlying decorative layer 14 of the surface covering is reduced or avoided. The term "stainant" refers to any material which itself or in combination with one or more other materials is responsible directly or indirectly for causing a stain which is visible to the naked eye as one views the top surface 16 of the overlying decorative layer 14 of the surface covering. The term "adsorbing" is used in its normal sense and also broadly to mean that some or all of the stainant is retained in some manner in the backing sheet and prevented from diffusing into the overlying decorative layer. The term "adsorbent" is likewise used in its normal sense to refer to any material which effects the attraction and adherence of stainant molecules to the surface of its own molecules and also broadly to refer to any material that is capable of adsorbing.
A stainant is believed to emanate from various materials which underlie surface coverings. The underlying material is in contact with the backing sheet. The stainant penetrates the surface of the backing sheet in contact therewith and moves upwardly through the layer(s) of the surface covering to a visible top surface 16 thereof.
One example of a stainant is a chemical contained in elm wood, namely, 7-hydroxy cadalenal or 7HC. Elm wood is found commonly in wood substrates, for example, as a component of oriented strand board (OSB), for surface coverings such as vinyl flooring. The 7HC diffuses through the backing sheet and overlying layer(s) of the surface covering, migrating to a visible surface of the decorative layer and producing an undeniable yellow color or stain which is visible to the naked eye.
The additive that is used in the backing sheet in accordance with the present invention may depend, at least in part, on the nature of the stainant. The additive can be any material that is capable of adsorbing or otherwise retaining the stainant in the backing sheet. The additive is preferably a material that does not affect adversely the visual characteristics of the backing sheet, that is, the appearance of the sheet, for example, the color thereof. Examples of effective adsorbents that can be used are activated charcoal, activated alumina, and fumed silica.
A particularly preferred adsorbent additive is activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is amorphous in nature and has a relatively large surface area. In addition to being an excellent adsorbent, activated charcoal does not affect adversely the visual characteristics, for example, the color of the backing sheet.
The amount of additive present in the backing sheet will depend on various factors, including, for example, the nature of the anticipated stainant, the additive that is used, the thickness of the backing sheet, the proportion of ingredients comprising the sheet and the specific nature of the components comprising the surface covering. It is believed that an amount of additive in the range of about 0.001 to about 5 wt. % based on the total weight of the ingredients comprising the backing sheet will be effective in mitigating or avoiding the staining problem. Adjustments in amounts can be made as needed for the particular application. It is believed that for most applications an amount of additive of about 0.005 to about 0.1 wt. % will be satisfactory.
Although it is expected that the present invention will be used most widely in the manufacture of multi-layered sheeting which is designed especially for use as decorative floor coverings, it should be understood that the invention can be used also to manufacture other types of multi-layered surface coverings which can be used in a variety of applications such as, for example, wall and ceiling coverings and table, desk, and counter-top surface coverings.
The following examples are illustrative of the present invention. Comparative examples are set forth below also.
Materials utilized in the examples include: 7-hydroxy cadalenal (7HC), which is a stainant that has been found in some types of oriented strand board (OSB) and which was extracted from elm wood using tetrahydrofuran and re-dispersed quantitatively in hexane; and felt backing sheet material of the standard Congoleum production and formulation that is the subject of U.S. Pat. No. 5,679,443.
The first group of examples demonstrates the relative capability of activated charcoal, activated alumina, and fumed silica to adsorb stainant. A comparative example includes a control sample.
7HC was extracted from elm and dissolved in hexane; the approximate concentration was about 0.1 mg 7HC/ml of hexane. In three vials, about 15 mg of the following adsorbents were placed: activated charcoal; activated alumina; and fumed silica. A fourth vial functioned as the control, containing no adsorbent material. Two ml of the 7HC solution were added to each vial and allowed to sit for 16 hours. Each solution was then filtered and analyzed for 7HC using gas chromatography. The results are presented in FIG. 2 and in the Table 1 below.
TABLE 1 7HC Conc. Remaining Ex. No. Sample in Solution, mg/ml % 7HC Removed 1-C Control 0.102 0 1 Activated not detected 100 Charcoal 2 Activated not detected 100 Alumina 3 Fumed 0.054 50 Silica
The superior adsorbing effects of activated charcoal and activated alumina are evident from the test results reported in Table 1 above.
The next group of examples involves the use of adsorbents of the present invention in tests that were designed to determine the quantity of stainant that is retained in the felt portion of a flooring sample, relative to the quantity that migrates to wear layer of the sample. The proportion of adsorbent additive comprising the solids content of the aqueous dispersion used to make a backing sheet are believed to correspond substantially to the proportion of adsorbent additive comprising the resulting sheet.
A small circle (0.75 cm diameter) of sample was cut from a flooring product and placed in the cap of a standard glass 4 ml septum vial typically used for gas chromatography work. The flooring product comprised a wear layer comprisingpoly(vinyl chloride) and plasticizer, a poly(vinyl chloride) foamed layer, and a standard formulation felt layer. The sample replaced the septum typically used with these vials. The sample was placed with the felt facing the bottom of the vial. A small quantity of 7HC (about 0.05 mg) was added to the bottom of the vial. The cap was placed tightly on the vial and the vial was placed in a 158� F. oven for typically two days. During this time, the flooring was exposed to 7HC vapor. Because not all of the 7HC evaporates under these conditions, the exposure level (equal to the vapor pressure of 7HC at 158� F.) was the same for multiple experiments.
After the allotted time in the oven, the sample was removed from the oven and separated into wear layer, foam, and felt layers. The concentration of 7HC was then measured in each layer using standard analytical extraction techniques and gas chromatography. The results were normalized to a percentage basis to determine the proportion of 7HC that was present in each layer. The effectiveness of the stain adsorbent is demonstrated by the amount of stainant retained in the felt layer.
Standard felt was produced using standard production and formulation procedures and trial felt was made using the same production and formulation procedures, except that activated charcoal was added at about a 0.0188 weight % addition rate. Some samples of the standard and trial felts were further incorporated into vinyl flooring products that were made in the laboratory using standard flooring formulations. Additional samples of the standard and trial felts were incorporated into vinyl flooring products that were made at a production plant. Samples of each of the products were exposed to 7HC vapor for a period of two days at 158� F. for the laboratory-made products and for a period of three days at 158� F. for the plant-produced products. After this time, the layers of the products were separated and analyzed for concentration of 7HC. Each exposure experiment was completed in duplicate. The results are presented in FIG. 3 and in Table 2 below.
TABLE 2 Products of Products of Laboratory Plant Production Standard Trial Standard Trial Felt Felt Felt Felt % 7HC in Felt Layer 56 73 60 76 % 7HC in Foam Layer 27 18 20 16 % 7HC in Wear Layer 17 9 20 8
The results set forth in Table 2 above demonstrate that activated charcoal is an effective adsorbent for 7HC. In particular, activated charcoal is effective in retaining 7HC in the felt layer and thereby reducing by about half the amount of 7HC which would otherwise be capable of migrating up through the product to the wear layer.
A backing sheet was prepared using standard felt formulation procedures, except activated charcoal was included in samples of the backing sheet in varying, increasing amounts. The samples were then coated with a standard wear layer formulation comprising poly(vinyl chloride) and plasticizer. A foam layer was not present in these samples. The samples were exposed to 7HC vapor for a period of two days at 158� F. The results are shown in FIG. 4 and in Table 3 below.

Wear Layer
The results of the above examples demonstrate that increasing amounts of adsorbent further limits the amount of stainant that migrates from the felt to the wear layer; and that, as activated charcoal is added in increasing quantities, the amount of stainant reaching the wear layer approaches zero.
As mentioned above, the use of carbon black in backing sheets is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,679,443 in amounts of about 0.0001 to about 0.05 weight %. And tests have shown that carbon black does function as an adsorbent for 7HC, as can be seen from the present Example.
Felt was produced using standard production and formulation procedures, except that varying amounts of carbon black were added prior to forming the felt sheet. The felt samples were each further incorporated into vinyl flooring products that were made at a production plant. Samples of each of the products were exposed to 7HC vapor for a period of two days at 158� F. After this time, the layers of the products were separated and analyzed for concentration of 7HC. Each exposure experiment was completed in duplicate. The results are presented in Table 4 below.
TABLE 4 Weight % Carbon Black .005 .010 .014 .019 % 7HC in Felt Layer 56 64 67 71 % 7HC in Foam Layer 25 19 20 23 % 7HC in Wear Layer 19 17 13 6
The above test results demonstrate that carbon black is an effective adsorbent for 7HC. However, in amounts that are effective for adsorbing the 7HC stainant, it has been observed that the visual characteristics of the resulting sheet are affected in a way such that the sheet appears darker in color and appearance. Such a result is undesirable because the color of the backing sheet influences the color of the resulting surface covering product; in particular, if the backing sheet becomes darkened in color, the appearance of the product is likewise darkened.

When we hear about cancer in its many forms, why do we never here about MEN2, Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma.
In the last five months my sister, her two daughters and one out of three granddaughters were diagnosed with this type of cancer. With exception of the granddaughter, all three had their thyroid out as well as some lymph glands. The twelve year old is facing surgery on July 7. I was tested and am negative, as are others in the family. No one can tell us where it came from, who had it and passed it on or was my sister the first to have that gene?
It seems they know so much more about this cancer in Germany than here in the U.S..
We are looking for answers.
Thank You,

#1 Consumer Comment
Wish I'd Seen This Complaint Before Ordering
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 30, 2013POSTED: Monday, September 30, 2013
I recently purchased two cell phone cases online from cellphonetrek. I contacted their customer service after 8 days had passed since my card was debited for the purchase. I had yet to receive so much as an email confirmation of my purchase.
I was told that my order was "in the shipping department", and would ship out in the next day or two. This, mind you, was over a week after I had been billed. Still haven't received anything from these people.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

We are sorry that the customer experience a difficulty with their shipment with us but we were more than adequately helpful. They ordered an item with us on 12/12/11 and on 12/20 the item was shipped out to her using usps here is the tracking number 9101010521297071711432. As you can see the USPS never delivered the item and after launching a claim with the USPS it was determined that the items was "probably lost or damaged" according to the USPS. We as a convenience to the customer offered to reship the item unfortunately it was on back order by this time with the manufacturer and she was notified that we would have to wait. After more were received the second shipment was sent to her and she received it and her money back for the inconvenience and long wait time on the back order item.

I'm a big fan of LOTR the Hobbit and Tolkien en general and I just registered to this site. I'm looking forward in meeting Tolkien fans because when I start talking about LOTR to people who aren't fans they find me quite annoying because I just keep on going and going 'till they want to kill me.

You're kidding. I was told four lines. *Sighs.* What peculiarly restrictive tendencies there are here...no images in signatures, no BBCode, not even HTML, the very staple of internet life... ah well; it makes PT more...unique, definitely, among internet fora. Uniqueness is always a selling point.
I've changed it. I hope it's okay now...unless using special ascii characters is also forbidden.

If you are, for example, a venture capitalist and/or looking to invest in a software company, valuating software becomes a very important part of your investment. Insight in the items on the following checklist is crucial to making an informed decision.
The business need for speed AND quality has a major impact on any organization's quality goals. The only way to address this ever growing issue is to monitor the quality of your software not only after, but during development.
Outsourcing your software development to a third party might be very cost effective. However, by placing software development outside the trusted and known perimeter of your own company you might lose sight on one very important aspect: quality.
Using open source components in your software can help you develop software faster and cheaper. However, there is a potential major risk involved here as open source code usually comes with licenses, which contain very specific agreements that might affect the source code of your entire application as well and thus comprise it.
By analyzing the source code of your software we can help you to figure out how your software looks like and what has been changed over time. The next step is to (re)document the application with the use of our Use Case Editor, a tool that allows you to go through the source code and step by step (re)document use cases.
In, for instance, banks thousands of transactions are being processed using batch-processing software every night. If anything goes wrong, this may have major consequences for the company: money does not flow into accounts after being deposited, payrolls are being delayed etcetera.
Are there any hidden defects in your code and what is the effort to fix them?
Are there any changes in your code compared to previous versions?
Does your code contain any unnecessary complexity?
Does your code contain any Corporate Risk Policy violations?
How many function points does your software have?
Does your code contain any unnecessary duplicated code?
Does your code contain any "dangerous" open source licenses?
What is the overall health of your system?
Is your software secure?
Is your software still testable?
Have best practices been applied while building your software?
What functionality and business rules does your software contain?

My two cents
This preamp tube sounds very clear and nice but it has no low end at all. At least not for me. Stuff this in your amp if you have too much low end and want to balance it out, that is my recommendation.

she claimed to have the same type of life growing up that i did and used every thing i told her against me to make me feel more comfortable so i would tell her all my secrets including all the details of my being raped and stalked. she said she had been through the same type of thing but she couldn't have or she wouldn't have put me through the stuff she has. she used God and the people at the shelter we were staying at to get sympathy and make her self feel better about not having a life. she even stole cigarettes from a single mom with 6 kids.

A section is my #1 fear after something happening to one of the babies. I am hoping to find someone capable and willing to deliver breech babies, that is how much I hate the thought of a section. Surgery scares the crap out of me.

Yeah, I am reaaaaally not hip to having a c-section if I can avoid it at all.
I am working with a OB and a midwife, so hopefully they can work together and babies will cooperate and things will go smoothly.
Fingers crossed for everyone!

Well I was pretty nervous about a c-section. However with my first I was only in labor for 2 and half hours. So I am pretty nervous about going into labor and not making it to the hospital. Our hospital is about 25 minutes from our house. However if it is packed they send us to another hospital downtown which is 45 minutes away.
I am almost to the point where I want to request a scheduled c-section. Just not sure though.

My good friend gave birth to twins two weeks ago. Baby A was head down and Baby B was breech. She delivered both vaginally. I talked to my OB and she said that as long as the first baby comes out head first, they get the second one out as best they can without doing a C section.
I am actually hoping for C Section for my twins. Good luck everyone!
I'm really hoping that I don't have to have one either. But my OB said if one is breach I will have to.

Burns' Full Focus is on Gonzalez, Not Thinking of Broner
Ricky Burns insists he will not even consider a world title unification fight with Adrien Broner until he sees his way past Jose Gonzalez.
It was announced yesterday that the WBO lightweight champion will face unbeaten Puerto Rican Gonzalez in Glasgow on May 11.
The WBO insisted that Burns take on their mandatory challenger or face losing his strap - ending any immediate hopes of a super fight with WBC champion Broner.
The American is now due to move up two divisions to take on WBA welterweight belt holder Paulie Malignaggi on June 22 but there are still hopes that Burns and Broner can square off in future.
Burns, however, is not looking that far ahead.
He said: "At the moment, I can't look beyond this fight. I never look beyond an opponent. I've got to give this guy what he's due. He's not the mandatory challenger for nothing.
"There is talk of Adrien Broner moving up to 147 to fight Paulie Malignaggi. We don't know if he will stay at his current weight or what. I just need to get past May 11 first."
Burns has not fought since beating Kevin Mitchell in September last year after his last two fights were called off at short notice.
A scheduled bout with Miguel Vazquez next month was axed after he split with former promoter Frank Warren, after the initial date was postponed, while a date with Jose Ocampo in December was also called off at short notice too.
But the Coatbridge fighter - whose fight with Gonzalez is his first since linking up with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Sport promotions company - insists his extended lay-off will not affect him by the time fight night arrives.
He said: "Although the fights were cancelled, it is not as if I've been out of the gym or stopped my training. I was always preparing for the fights and it was then that they were called off at late notice.
"After that it was just a case of taking a break, letting the batteries recharge and then getting back in the gym.
"We started back training last week and it will be six weeks on Saturday until the fight. So whatever happens, I'll be ready to go."
Burns is already a two-weight world champion after moving up from super featherweight but plans to move to light-welterweight are at least two years off, he says.
"A lot of people have been talking and saying that I have been struggling to make the weight, asking if I'm going to move up to light-welterweight," said the 29-year-old.
"But for now I'm definitely staying at lightweight. I'm going nowhere. There are a couple of big fights out there, the unification fights, that I am confident I can win.
"So for the next couple of years anyway I will definitely be staying at lightweight."
[QUOTE=Corelone;13187767]Burns has a home made record, he's never been out of the UK, and nobody should get upset because he's unknown outside of his village. He has great management and the hometown advantage, so far, but his skill will always…Comment by Corelone on 03-27-2013

Get involved with legislative matters that are important to our cause.
The Arc believes that all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities have strengths, abilities and inherent value, are equal before the law, and must be treated with dignity and respect. Since 1953, we have been providing advocacy and support services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The Arc was founded by people just like you – caregivers, guardians, protectors, advocates, but most of all loving parents. Frustrated by the lack of services and supports for their children, these parents founded this resource for families living with disabilities.
The Arc strengthens people with disabilities, their parents, family members, and dedicated professionals by connecting them across our national network of community based chapters. We are the nation's leading advocate for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families and the premier provider of the supports and services you want and need.
The Arc of North Carolina is committed to securing for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities the opportunity to choose and realize their goals of where and how they learn, live, work, and play.
The Arc of North Carolina is pleased to announce the newly established Joint Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Caucus. Its mission: to address the needs of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families and the people who support this community.
The North Carolina General Assembly established a joint Legislative Caucus to focus on the needs of people with I/DD and their families. The caucus is an important step forward to address programs that support people with I/DD. Thank you Representative Jean Farmer-Butterfield and Representative Marilyn Avila (House co-chairs).
The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act, a federal law signed in December of 2014, will give many individuals with disabilities and their families the opportunity to save for the future and fund essential expenses like medical and dental care, education, community- based supports, employment training, assistive technology, housing and transportation.
My family has been with The Arc for a long time and we have been pleased with all the help that is available through them. If they couldn't help, they found me other resources.The Williams Family
The difference between The Arc of North Carolina and many other service providers is that you have the final choice about who supports you or your loved one.The Powers Family

Olivia Wolf - Icy Plains
A body knelt down next to her and Olivia shook her head to try and clear her vision. It actually seemed to work, and her eyes focused on a female hovering over her, holding something to her lips. She said something Olivia didn't understand but quickly identified as the name of a berry and explained it would help to ward off the cold. Woah! Berries that could cure the cold? This girl must've been some sort of wildlife /genius/! Olivia's initially confused expression turned into something of gratitude and she met Nemo's eyes with a friendly smile before turning her attention to Nemo's hand and allowing herself to gingerly pluck the berry from betwixt Nemo's fingers with her lips, quite literally eating out of her hands.
She's totally into that sort of thing.
A crash startled her before she could properly thank Nemo however as the familiar sight of an Abomasnow burst it's way through the mound of snow the avalanche had created in a fury. The snorunt seemed startled as well, but when it tried to flee Olivia wrapped her arms around it in a firm but gentle manner. The abomasnow was not amused by Tyler's request. It was there for Olivia, but it quickly identified the other two humans as possible accomplices. Clouds seemed to follow the pokemon to them, and before the group knew it it was snowing, and the snow was rapidly getting heavier. Hail was soon to come.
Olivia just sort of emitted something of a meek squeak and stayed where she was as if frozen. She was clearly afraid.
Two vanillish rapidly advanced on the two females, surrounding them. Both their mouths opened and prepared to strike the two with an icy wind attack The abomasnow moved in more slowly, keeping it's intentions hidden until the last possible moment.
It clearly wanted to give them a hug!
MEANWHILE, a single Vanillish advanced on Tyler. It was floating around him in an aggressive, slightly dodgy manner, as if daring him to intervene. It was his choice if he actually wanted to fight the thing. It didn't seem to be readying an attack, but judging by how it was acting might very well do so at the slightest provocation.

Australia adventures.
It's been my dream since a teenager to get to Australia. When I found ultra cheap flight and hotel to get there I knew we had to book. We stayed in Sydney– and spent 1 night up north in Hunter valley which is full of wineries. It was a grand trip. Pics taken from Bondi Beach, Downtown Sydney, and Hunter Valley.

Healthy Guilty Pleasure Recipes. French Fries, Pizza, Mac and Cheese, Nutella oh my!
A guest post by Jen!
Hey guys, I'm back! I've put together even more recipes to satisfy your daily cravings except instead these are guilty pleasures turned healthy. Working at a medical and cosmetic practice is tough! We specialize in breast reconstructive surgery and breast augmentations in Kansas City so we always want to look our best even if I just want to devour an entire cheesecake. Everyone is always wondering how I stay healthy and (somewhat) slim but bring fries and mac and cheese to work! Well here is my secret: tweaking recipes and finding recipes that allow me to have what I want but a better form of it. Then I make a bunch so it's accessible right at the tip of my fingers and even bring it into work for lunch.

How I got rid of my dry winter hands!
Did anyone else experience dry, cracked, irritated, bright red angry hands during this crazy winter? Or worse– Are you still experiencing horribly chapped hands from angry winter winds and dry temps? If so, I FEEL FOR YOU.
Living in Florida I know you all are totally rolling your eyes at me but I swear to you. I was experiencing some serious winter blues over here. Dry irritated skin that came out of no where. I tried tons of products but only found one that helped!
To give you an idea of what this Florida girl was working with-
Anyways, I ran across
https://www.facebook.com/ArchipelagoBotanicals/?fref=ts and decided I had to try something to get rid of this gross skin.
This product
Archipelago Botanicals Soy Creme Milk saved my poor hands.
In two days my skin had cleared up completely. I use it once every single day and that has helped keep my hands feeling just right. Everything is natural and in my opinion MAGIC as it completely transformed my hands in a matter of a few uses. It's my go to lotion. It smells delightful- sort of like honeysuckle and won't leave your hands greasy.
It's now 80 degrees outside as I type this, but to the rest of my winter warriors out there. You need this lotion if you want the healthiest cleanest hands—with no cracks!
Thanks so much Archipelago! http://shoparchipelago.com/

Biena Rocking ranch chickpeas!
I had the pleasure of trying a really cool snack this week. Ranch flavored chickpeas! You guys know I am low carb so it's hard to find high fiber/ low carb snacks that taste good. These guys have 6 grams of fiber a serving! Perfect for a quick munch or even better thrown on a salad for croutons!
Non gmo, gluten free, and zero preservatives or artificial flavors. 5 flavors!
