Meta: An all-natural alternative to chemical rich detergents, soap nuts can help you keep your body and home clean. Here's how.
Keywords: soap nuts
These days, it seems that everyone is looking for a way to strip the chemicals out of their lives. With food, the less ingredients, the better—and the more pronounceable they are, the better! Hormones and preservatives are out and all-natural and preservative-free are in.
The same goes for various products people use around their homes. As people have growing concerns over what they put in, on, and around their bodies, chemical-laden cleaners and beauty products are out and all-natural is in. If you're not going to put chemicals in your food, why would you put them on your kitchen countertops, on the floors in your home, or in the very air you breathe?
Is There an All-Natural Way to Clean My Laundry?
Of all the things you and your family come into contact with inside your home, your clothing is probably one of the most important, as it's on your skin for most of the day and night. There are many detergents on store shelves that describe themselves as gentle, scent-free and hypoallergenic, but these are still laden with chemicals. Is there a truly all-natural, chemical-free way to get your clothes clean?
All-Natural Soap Nuts
For a truly all-natural way to do your laundry, you simply have to try soap nuts. These little nuts (or berries, actually; they're the fruit of the Sapindus family of bushes), pack a huge cleaning punch that has to be seen to be believed. Soap nuts will get your laundry clean and fluffy and the best part is that they're 100% all-natural and contain zero manmade chemicals, as they go from the tree and right into your washing machine!
How Do I Use Soap Nuts?
Oftentimes, "all-natural"is thought of as "not-as-convenient"or "doesn't work as well as the chemical stuff."Not so with soap nuts! Simply toss them in with your laundry and that's it! (Most soap nuts are sold with a muslin wash bag; this keeps them together so that they don't get lost in your load of laundry.
If you've lost or worn out the wash bag for your soap nuts, the bags can be purchased separately online.) When the load is done, take the soap nuts out until you're ready to wash the next load. It's as simple as that! Soap nuts will get your clothes clean and more fluffy than regular chemical detergent. And best of all, you're not using chemicals on yours and your family's clothing or washing chemicals down the drain, adding more toxins into the environment!
Soap nuts are fantastic for washing baby clothes, as they don't contain any irritants. They're also fantastic for use by people who have sensitive skin. Why settle for something with chemicals that SAYS it's "gentle"or "hypoallergenic"when you can go all-natural? Straight from the tree to your washing machine; soap nuts are as natural as you can get!

High earnings without a college degree?
August 30, 1999
Is it possible for a worker to have high earnings without a bachelor's degree? For a small proportion of workers without a degree, the answer is "Yes."
[Chart data—TXT]
Last year, the median earnings for all college graduates were $821 a week. Of full-time workers age 25 and older without a bachelor's degree, 15 percent earned more than $821 a week in 1998. However, 62 percent of workers without a degree had weekly earnings below $572 per week, which was the median for all workers age 25 and over.
Workers with high earnings and without a degree can be found in a variety of occupations. Examples are computer programmers, electricians, firefighting occupations, real estate sales occupations, and tool and die makers. Although the majority of workers without a degree in these five occupations do not have high earnings, in 1998 there were at least 50,000 people in each of them who did not have a bachelor's degree and who earned more than the median college graduate.
These data on earnings are from the Current Population Survey. The above figures are for full-time, year-round wage and salary workers age 25 and over. Find out more about earnings and education in "High earning workers who don't have a bachelor's degree (PDF 275K)," by Matthew Mariani, Occupational Outlook Quarterly, Fall 1999.

(Cl. 55-67) This invention relates to the manufacture of separating columns for gas chromatography, and is especially concerned with capillary columns having small inner diameters, such as up to 1 mm. and preferably of 0.25 to 0.5 mm., both for gas-solid and for gas-liquid chromatography.
The separating column manufactured according to the invention in either case consists essentially of a tube with a thin porous layer adhering to its inner wall. For gassolids chromatography this porous layer is dry and represents the active medium itself, whilst for gasliquid chromatography the porous layer preferably is inactive per se and serves as a means for fixing a thin film of an active (absorptive) separating liquid to the inner surface of the capillary tube, and last but not least the active porous layer may be coated with a separating or partitioning liquid (gas adsorption layer chromatography GAC).
A gas chromatographic separating column consisting of a tube, the inside of which carries the separating medium in the form of a film, is described in literature. It is advantageous to increase the surface of the inner tube wall before the manufacture of such columns; for which purpose it is known to insert a helical wire into the tube or to provide a porous layer on its inner wall.
Although it might be expected that gas chromatographic separating oolumns with a solid porous layer adhering to the inner surface of the tube would ofier irnportant advantages, practically no advantageous result achieved with such columns in practice has become known. Evidently a general process by which. columns with these desired properties could be produced in a not too complicated and practically realizable way was not known or appreciated. Indeed, a process for the production of separating columns has been described in which a solid substance in the form of a fine powder was suspended in a dispersive liquid to form a slurry, and the inner surface of a tube was smeared with this slurry. Thereby the solid substance served as a carrier for the stationary phase (i.e. for the separating liquid) or it formed part of it. By subsequent heating of the tube the dispersing fluid was evaporated, so that the particles of the solid substance remained on the inner surface of the tube and were fixed there, e.g. by burning them in. But nothing else has been published in the literature about good results achieved with columns prepared in this way, so that it must be assumed that this process also did not answer requirements satisfactorily.
The instant invention also is concerned with a process of manufacturing a gas chromatographic separating column from a tube the inner wall of which carries the stationary phase in the form of a thin porous layer, which may be either inactive and impregnated with a partitioning or separating liquid or which may be active in itself, in which later case it can be coated or uncoated with a separating liquid, preferably a polar one. Thereby a dispersion of a finely divided solid substance, which might be mixed with a separating liquid, is dispersed in a low boiling liquid. This dispersion is filled into the capillary tube. After the evaporation of the low boiling liquid the stationary phase adheres on the inner wall of the tube in the form of a thin porous layer. The invention comprises filling the tube completely and free from bubbles with the stable suspension which contains all of the components of the stationary phase to be formed, closing the filled tube at one end, and causing the dispersion liquid to evaporate by a controlled heating of the tube, starting the heating at its open end and progressing with the heating along the length of the tube. The solid particles of the suspension thereby remain on the inner surface of the tube wall in the form of a uniform coherentadherent layer which may eventually also contain a separating liquid. Advantageously, the part of the tube from which the dipersion liquid has already been evaporated is kept at a temperature above the dew point.
It has been surprisingly found that, contrary to the mentioned known processes, the inventive method of completely filling the tube with a suspension already containing solid particles, closing it atone end, and causing the dispersion liquid to evaporate by a progressive heating of the'tube, beginning at its open end, does give gas chromatographic columns actually answering all requirements. The thin porous layer produced in this way adheres reliably to the inner surface of the tube without any aftertreatment.
The inventive process is applicable not only to the ap plication of active layers, consisting ofa solid adsorbent, in one step onto the inner surface of a column tube, but also for the production of layers consisting of a combination of a powdered solid substance active or inactive wetted with an absorptive separating liquid. Contrary to the known processes of applying a slurry in the form of a paste onto the inner surface of the tube, the instant process permits the manufacture of separating columns of an appreciable length, e.g. 10 to meters, whereby the thickness as well as the composition of the layer to be formed can be nicely adjusted to meet changing requirements.
Separating columns manufactured according to the invention show a markedly increased separation efficiency as compared to that of known columns. Apart from the increased separation efficiency, the inventive process brings other advantages which will be explained in connection with the corresponding process steps.
The present process for the manufacture of separating columns is preferably performed inthree major steps. The first step consists in the preparation of a suspension of all of the components which are desired in the porous layer by dispersing them in an inert dispersive liquid. As a second major step, the suspension is pressed into the prepared capillary tube in such a way that the tube is filled free from bubbles. The filling can be performed under application of increased pressure, usually to 200 kg/cm. After the filling, one end of the capillary tube is closed. Hereupon the filled capillary tube is inserted with its open end into, and drawn through, a heated tube furance and preferably wound up onto a spool. Such spool is placed in a room, the temperature of which is kept constant by means of a thermostat. The temperature of this room should be kept lower than that of the tube furnace, but higher than the dew point, which is practically identical with the boiling point of the low boiling liquid. During the heating the dispersing liquid evaporates and escapes through the open end of the capillary.
The solid substance, or the solid substance impregnated with the high boiling separating liquid, remains on the wall of the tube in the form of a coherent layer. After the whole length of the tube has been drawn through the kiln, the closed end is opened and a weak (i.e. low pressure) gas stream is blown through the capillary from its originally open end, eventually under increased temperature.
In this way a thin porous layer capillary with reproducible properties can be produced. By proper choice of grain size (usually, below 1 micron) and suitable dispersing liquids the particles can be caused to adhere sufliciently together and to the wall, so that they cannot move into the gas space or to the detector during use and thereby cause clogging. On the other hand, it can also be accomplished that the layer does not become too dense, so that the porosity necessary for a rapid mass transfer is provided and maintained.
The dispersive liquid should have a relatively low boiling point, so that the temperature of the kiln can be kept low during the evaporation. Although the use of a low boiling dispersive liquid has been suggested in connection with the manufacture of dry columns (for solid-gas-chromatography), this consideration is of special importance for the manufacture of columns with a porous layer impregnated with a separating liquid. In this latter case the difference between the boiling point of the dispersive liquid and that of the active separating liquid should be as high as possible, i.e. the boiling point of the dispersive liquid as low as possible, not only to avoid a possibly unfavour able reaction of the separating liquid with either the dispersive liquid or the solid but also to avoid entrainment of vapors of the separating liquid by the escaping vapors of the dispersive liquid.
In order to provide stable suspensions, dispersive liquids of high density and high viscosity should be used. As the primary demand of a low boiling point cannot be neglected, liquids with the highest viscosities cannot be used, as these also have high boiling points, but C Cl F CCl CH Cl and CI-I Br give good combinations of high viscosity and density with low boiling point. For these reasons C Cl F is the preferred dispersive liquid in view of its high densityl.58 g./cm. and low boiling point (+47.5 C.).
The stability of the suspension is important, because sedimentation of the solids endangers the uniform application of the layer. If, with a given solid, insufficient stability can be achieved by proper choice of dispersive liquid, concentration and particle size alone, the viscosity-and thereby the stability-can be increased by the addition of a thickening agent having no detrimental effect on the quality of the capillary column produced. As an example of such a thickener the highly dispersed silicon dioxide produced pyrolytically and sold under the trademark Aerosil can be named which, added in an amount of 1 to 3%, dissolved in a polar solvent such as CCl prevents the settling of coarse particles. For the thickening of aqueous suspensions a product sold by the same company (Degussa) under the name COK 84, consisting of 84% Aerosil and 16% highly dispersed A1 has been used with good success in amounts of 0.5 to 1.5%.
The manufacture of porous layers consisting of a solid and an additional liquid film in the capillary tube can be achieved according to further embodiments of the inven tion in two different ways.
(a) If the separating liquid is insoluble in the dispersive liquid of the suspension, the solid carrier substance with the desired particle size is impregnated with a solution of the separating liquid in a suitable solvent, such as CH Cl in a known manner; the solvent is then evaporated, and the so-obtained impregnated powder suspended in the dispersive liquid.
(b) If the separating liquid is soluble in the dispersive liquid of the suspension, it is suificient to dissolve the desired amount of separating liquid in the dispersive liquid, either before preparing the suspension or in the finished suspension itself. Upon application of the layer on the wall of the capillary tube a thin film of the separating liquid remains on the surface of the particles.
Suspension of the solid particles in the liquid can be achieved by means of a rapid mixer or a colloid mill. Usually, a treatment of a few minutes is sufficient if no additional comminution of the solid is desired. Before 4s pressing the suspension into the capillary it is advantageous to pass it through a pressure sieve in order to eliminate coarser agglomerates, which latter could lead to cloggings in the capillary.
As solids every powdery substance useable as adsorption agents or as a carrier can be used, e.g. carbon black, carbon black in graphitized form, fire brick, kieselguhr, silica gel, metal oxides, cellulose, synthetic plastics, ion exchange resins, etc., can be used. The solid adsorption agent can be chemically active. Its activity can be caused by a disturbed crystal lattice or even by the smallness of the particles themselves.
As separating liquid the liquids conveniently used in gas chromatography are useable, such as squalene, dinonyl phthalate, polyglycols, etc. In selecting a combination of a dispersive liquid and a separating liquid it is to be borne in mind that the separating liquid shall neither dissociate nor unfavourably react with either the solid or the dispersive liquid at the temperature necessary for evaporating the latter.
Filling the capillary is advantageously done by means of a pressure vessel and an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, argon, etc. The pressure to be used depends on the diam eter and the length of the capillary and on the viscosity of the suspension: it is usually between 2 and 200 kg./cm. The capillary tube should be cleansed from impurities (i.e., prepared) by washing with solvents such as meth anol, methylene chloride, petroleum ether, C01 etc., prior to filling.
The temperature of the air thermostat arranged behind the evaporation kiln should be kept so high as to exclude any possibility of condensation of the escaping vapors of the dispersive liquid on cooler walls of the capillary. The velocity of these escaping vapors can be appreciably high, such as 15 meters/min. and more. Such high velocities aid in leveling the layer produced. In a further arrangement, evaporation of the dispersive liquid can advantageously be effected under reduced pressure. After application of the layer and evaporation of the dispersive liquid, .a gas stream, e.g. nitrogen or hydrogen, is passed through the capillary in order to eliminate traces of the dispersive liquid. Such passing of a cleaning gas through the capillary is done advantageously at the highest temperature permissible for the stationary phase or at least at the highest temperature at which the column is to be operated.
On the one hand, the separating columns manufactured according to the invention are comparable to the so-called capillary columns because of the very similar flow properties characteristic for an open tube, and on the other hand they are in many respects similar to packed columns due to the high capacity of the stationary phase. Moreover, the inventive technique permits the use of such solids as a stationary phase in a capillary as could not be used heretofore for gas chromatography. Thereby, new ways of analysis technique are opened.
It is also possible more or less to shift the properties of the columns to those of packed or of capillary columns. Shifting to the properties of a packed column can be effected, e.g., by increasing the thickness of the applied layer. Whereas usually layers with a thickness of 10 to microns, mostly of about 2060 microns are applied, and this layer thickness is selected in accordance with the inner diameter of the capillary used, so that there remains a sufficiently large free passage along the axis of the tubei.e. layer thicknesses of the order of 100 microns are usually applied only in tubes with a substantially larger inner diameter than 0.2 mm.it is possible practically completely to fill the inner space of the capillary with the applied layer. The increase in layer thickness can be achieved, e.g., by using suspensions of a high solids content. A shifting to the properties of packed columns can also be achieved by a deliberate unequal application of the layer or by crumbling off parts of the porous layer. In these latter cases the open tube character of the column disappears more or less, to be replaced by the characteristics of a packed column.
Such columns can give special advantageous results in special cases, e.g. for components such as low-boiling hydrocarbons which are withheld less by the stationary phase in a capillary column. Another Way to achieve the characteristics of a packed column in a reproducible way is to draw the column, after the layer has been applied on its inner wall, between two rollers. Also, an elliptical deformation of the cross section by means of two rollers with unequal gearing can be advantageous. For a given thickness of the layer the capacity proportion of the column is changed hereby. This last-mentioned method is important especially if the capillary column has a relatively large inner diameter, such as 0.5 to 1.0 min, and a separating problem is to be solved by means of a short column.
A further embodiment of the invention consists in the application of a special coating onto the inner surface of the tube prior to filling with the suspension. Especially if the tube material is copper, it is advantageous to avoid the disturbing influence of the copper surface by coating it with any smooth surface coating, such as varnish, lacquer or a coating of another, smoother, metal, e.g. silver. If on the other hand, the tube material is glass or a similar substance with an extremely smooth surface, it is advantageous to etch the inner surface of the tube prior to filling it, in order to toughen it and thereby to increase the adherence of the applied layer.
A preferred embodiment for the manufacture of columns with small cross-section consists in filling a tube with the suspension, closing it on one end and decreasing its cross-section by drawing it to a greater length simultaneously with heating it for evaporation of the dispersive liquid. Thereby the porous layer is applied in the same operational step in which the column is given its definitive shape.
Columns manufactured according to the invention can also be used for examining the surface properties of any substance, introduced into the capillary, according to known gas chromatographic methods. In this way adsorption isotherms, heats of adsorption, specific surfaces, etc. can be determined.
The invention is explained in a nonlimitative way in the following examples, all parts mentioned in the examples being arts by weight.
Example 1 15 m. of a metallic capillary tube with an inner diameter of 0.25 mm. are rinsed with 10 cm. of CH CI and CCL, each and filled with CCl,. 6 parts of graphitized carbon black with a specific surface of 78 in. /g. are suspended in 94 parts of C C P under cooling, by means of a rapid mixer at 8000 rpm. The suspension obtained is pressed through a sieve with sieve openings of 0.06 mm., and the suspension is then pressed into the capillary tube at a pressure of 180 kg./crn. gauge. After the tube has been filled, one end of it is closed by pressing it shut. The capillary tube is then progressed at a rate of l m./hr. through a kiln, beginning at its open end, and Wound upon a spool within an air thermostat. The temperature within the kiln is 250 C., and in the air thermo stat is 100 C. After the whole length of the capillary has been wound up, the application of the layer material is finished. Hereupon the closed end is cut open and a stream of nitrogen is passed through the column at a rate of about 50 to 100 m./min. and at a temperature of 100 C. for 24 hours.
The column produced in this Way contains about 0.05 g. graphitized carbon black.
Example 2 7 parts of finely ground gamma A1 (particle size about l,u.) are mixed thoroughly with a suspension of 3 parts carbon black and 30 parts CH Cl the mixture is dried and finely subdivided.
The product obtained is stirred into parts of distilled water by means of a rapid mixer (10,000 r.p.m.). The suspension obtained is then pressed into a copper capillary with an inner diameter of 0.5 min, the inner surface of which has been freshly coated with silver and thoroughly rinsed with water. After the capillary has been filled with the suspension, it is closed on one end and is passed through the kiln at a rate of 2 cm./min. in the manner described in Example 1. The kiln temperature is 300 C. and the air thermostat temperature is 150 C.
Through the separating column thus obtained a stream of nitrogen was passed for 6 hours at 150 C.
Example 3 By thorough mixing a suspension is formed consisting of 22 parts kieselguhr, 2 parts highly dispersed silicon dioxide Aerosil, 6 parts dinonyl phthalate and 210 parts CCl A copper capillary (length about 20 m.: inner diameter 0.5 mm.) is cleaned, filled with the suspension at l g./crn. g. and progressed at a rate of 4 cm./1nin. in the described way at 180 C. kiln temperature and 120 C. air thermostat temperature. After the closed end is opened the column is rinsed for 24 hours with hydrogen at 120 C.
Example 4 l5 parts of Molecular Sieve 5A (trademark of Linde) are ground up, suspended in 85 parts CCL; and a copper capillary is filled with this suspension and treated further in the described way.
Example 5 20 parts fire brick, ground up to a fineness of about 1 turn, is washed with acid, sterchamol alkali-treated and dried azeotropically with xylene. 22 parts of a solution of 10% squalene in petroleum ether and 0.05 part Alkaterge T (trademark of commercial Solvent Company) in 10 parts CH Cl is thoroughly mixed with the fire brick and the mixture is then dried. The product is subsequently subdivided and is suspended in a mixture of Cl-l Br nad CCl, by means of a rapid mixer.
The suspension is used in the described way to produce a coated capillary column for gas chromatography. Example 6 22.15 parts of a highly dispersed iron oxide (specific surface=37 m. /g.) are mixed thoroughly with a solution of 1.25 parts triethylene glycol in 20 parts CH cl and the mixture is heated for 12 hours at C. in a drying oven.
The iron oxide impregnated with triethylene glycol, so obtained, is stirred (under cooling) into a mixture of 57.54 parts CCl and 124.76 parts C F Cl and the suspension is passed over a sieve.
The sieved suspension is used in the described Way to fill and coat capillary columns.
Example 7 A suspension is made of 9 parts highly dispersed TiOg (spec. surf.=50 nL /g.) in 70 parts of a mixture of petroleum ether and isopropylalcohol, and 1 part of squalene is added.
A nylon capillary tube is coated on the inner and outer surface with a polyurethane lacquer, produced according to the diisocyanate polyaddition process: the so-coated tube is then filled and coated with the suspension in the manner described in Example 1.
Illustrative of the capillary tube product, FIGURE 1 of the appended drawing represents a cross-section through a copper capillary tube treated in accordance with the present invention. In the drawing, the copper tubing is represented at l. A silver coating over its inner surface is indicated at 2. At 3 is represented an active adsorptive layer consisting of the solid residue from a suspension of finely subdivided A1 0 and carbon black in methylene chloride (per Example 2 above). The impor tant improvement achieved by the invention is demonstrated by FIGURES 2 to 6, FIGURE 2 pertaining to gas adsorption layer chromatography (GAC), FIGURES 3, 4 and 6 pertaining to gas liquid chromatography (GLC) and FIGURE to gas solid chromatography (GSC). FIGURE 2 is a chromatogram obtained with a column produced according to Example 6, FIGURE 3 is a chromatogram obtained with a column produced according to Example 5 and FIGURE 4 is a chromatogram obtained with a conventional column produced according to one of the most modern principles as described in published German patent application DAS 1,063,409 (Golay). In all three cases the same test mixture consisting of (1) methane, (2) n-pentane, (3) 2,2-dimethyl butane, (4) n-hexane and (5) n-heptane was used, as well as the same temperature (80 C.), carrier gas (hydrogen) and comparable linear flow rates. The stationary liquid phase was squalene for FIGURES 3 and 4. For FIGURE 2 a combination of an active solid (Fe O with a separating liquid (triethyleneglycol) was used.
The evaluation of the quality of these 3 columns, measured in the standard way as described by Purnell et al. in Gas Chromatography 1960 R. P. W. Scott, ed., p. 184, Butterworths, London, 1960, in terms of time necessary for analysis gives the following results:
11 5 (calcd) (2,2C -C sec.
Column Example 5, FIGURE 2 6.25 Column Example 6, FIGURE 3 10.9 Conventional capillary column, FIGURE 4 29.0
It can be seen that the time necessary for performing the standard analysis is reduced to about /3 to A1 of the time necessary for the best conventional columns. Moreover, the capacity of the inventive columns is 1 to 2 powers of higher than that of. conventional columns. This gives the additional advantage that the heretofore necessary highly sensitive and costly amplifying detector systems can be dispensed with.
The inventive capillary columns also give surprisingly good results in pure gas solid chromatography. For example the separation of mand p-xylene has presented considerable diliiculties up to now to the analyst.
FIGURE 5 is a chromatogram obtained with the analysis of a mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons with a capillary column produced according to the invention. The column length was 15 m., its inner diameter 0.25 mm. with an active layer of 5.4 mg./m. graphitized carbon black.
It will be seen that the separation of m-xylene and p-xylene was completed in about 70 seconds with very sharp peaks.
As heretofore no method at all was known to separate mand p-xylene by gas solid chromatography, FIGURE 6 shows for comparison a chromatogram obtained with a conventional capillary column for gas liquid chromatography, this being at present the only known way to achieve a separation of mand p-xylene by chromatographic measures.
The stationary phase was 7,8-benzoquinoline. The column used in this case had the same inner diameter of 0.25 mm. but double the length (30 m.) of that of the column used for FIGURE 5.
It will be seen that the time necessary to obtain separation of pand rn-xylene was 40 minutes for the conventional column as compared with 70 seconds for the inventive column.

Here is a look at the 2014 ACHA GP fleet. At the first race in Stuart some teams showed they are ready. The new GP-777 showed a lot of speed, GP-444 and GP-101 were very strong. GP-88, GP-50 and GP-25 proved they need to be taken seriously and Mathieu Daoust in GP-9 made an impressive debut.
Time to make your bets for the season!"
|Patrick Haworth
|The 2013 champion will be driving a brand new boat built by Jamie Auld. Patrick will miss Stuart but his reliability should bring him back in the championship race sooner or later.
|Marc Théoret
|Second in the 2013 championship, Marc will want to show he can be a champion.
|Marty Wolfe
|New sponsons should prevent from missing heats because of frequent hull damage.
|Brandon Kennedy
|With some improvement done to the hull by Scott Kropfeld and last years performance, Brandon will be one to watch.
|Ghislain Marcoux
|Probably the fastest of the field, Ghislain will be almost unbeatable if everything holds together.
|Ken Brodie
|With new sponsons and a little more reliability Ken will be a strong contender.
|Mike Monahan
|Monahan's experience will be a great value to this team.
|Bert Henderson
|After a tough season and with a new hull, the Steeler team will have high expectations.
|Tom Pakradooni
|Second year with the latest Bergeron hull, Tom will want to show what he can do.
|Éric Langevin
|Can be real fast but Eric needs to find the trick to keep everything together and finish more heats.
|Martin Rochon
|After their first year in GP, this team could bring some surprises this year.
|Mathieu Daoust
|Rookie year for this young driver.
This past Friday, Hydroplane Quebec went to Brockville to see the progression of a couple boats either in construction or being repaired.
We first saw Kent Henderson's new hull. Kent will make his debut in the Hydro350 class this year. Also, here is the GP-9 where the sponsons have been changed. The team took possession of the hull Friday night. Lastly, the new GP-777 Steeler which is almost finished. The Steeler's team was almost complete Friday as they wanted to finish the boat as soon as possible. The boat should be taken to the paint shop by next weekend.
By JP Poulin
Boy time sure flies. Up until now it seemed April and May would never get here, now everyone is thrashing to get their boats ready to head to good old "warm" South Florida. From talking to most of our owners there will be 13/14 GPs at our first race event in Stuart. With new boats, updated boats, and different drivers for some it looks like there will be a lot of restrictions for the first few heats. Thank goodness we will have testing most of the day Friday. I don't know all the details yet but we will have a TV production crew in Stuart filming our races. As soon as I get some more info I will pass it on to everybody or post it on Facebook.
Just saw some pictures of the new rap of the GP-77 "Coppertone" and it really looks cool. It's Saturday here in Cincinnati and we're running the new engine for the Coppertone GP on the Dyno with the new ignition system installed. Tomorrow we will be running the Steeler motors on the Dyno also with the new Electromotive ignition system installed. So far there are 5 GP boats with this system and I'm sure as soon as everyone else has problems with the old MSD mag systems they too will be going to the new style ignition systems.
Jamie Auld is working 24/7 on Patrick's new GP and there's an outside chance he will make it to Stuart but there's still a lot of work to do on it.It seems the whole fleet of GPs will have new Henderson sponsons this year and like I've said in my last two newsletters this year will be the most competitive in GP history.
Hope to see a lot of you in Florida next month. Until then, take care and continued safe racing.

The expression "open sesame" was inspired by sesame seeds and their habit of suddenly popping out of their seed pods when they're fully mature. These tiny seeds are really quite dynamic - both in nature and in the kitchen.
Though many Americans think of them primarily as a hamburger-bun garnish, sesame seeds are an integral part of many cuisines around the world, flavoring everything from savory meat dishes to pastries. If you like to cook, these little seeds are worth getting to know.
Types Of Seeds
Sesame seeds were brought to the United States from Africa. Wherever they are grown, they may be one of several colors, depending on the variety of plant they come from.
The most common are called white seeds, although they are actually a pale beige. They are soft, shiny and mild in flavor. Black sesame seeds (popular in Japan and China) are a deep black and have an earthier, more bitter flavor than white seeds.
Toasted Or Not?
All seeds and nuts undergo a flavor and color transformation when heated. In the case of sesame seeds, however, the change is dramatic.
Untoasted, they taste delicate and slightly sweet. When toasted, they turn a golden color and their flavor deepens, becoming rich, nutty and slightly bitter.
Toasting sesame seeds is quick and easy. Simply heat a skillet over medium-high heat for a minute or so, then add the seeds and toast, stirring or shaking the pan to prevent burning, until the seeds are light brown and start to crackle, 3 to 5 minutes.
Sesame Products
The sesame seed is approximately 50 percent oil. The oil from untoasted sesame seeds is colorless and mild, and has a long shelf life, due to its high concentration of vitamin E. It has long been popular as a cooking oil in the Middle East, India, China and Japan.
In the United States, however, the sesame oil you are most likely to find is made from toasted sesame seeds. Usually called "roasted sesame oil" or "Asian sesame oil," this type is reddish gold and has a bold flavor. It is best used sparingly, drizzled over noodles or other cooked foods just before serving.
Sesame seeds are also often made into edible pastes, such as tahini - which is made from raw seeds and is often used as a light sauce for fish or vegetables, or combined with eggplant or chickpeas for dips.
The darker, stronger-flavored Chinese sesame paste, on the other hand, is made from toasted seeds. It is ideal as a base for marinades or sauces.
Look for sesame seeds, oils and pastes in the international section of your grocery store.
Sesame-seed-crusted Shrimp With Sesame Noodles

Skip to comments.John Kerry defends Susan Rice
Posted on 09/29/2012 8:56:19 AM PDT by ColdOne
"I'm deeply disturbed by efforts to find the politics instead of finding the facts in this debate," Kerry said in a Friday statement.
"Im particularly troubled by calls for Ambassador Rices resignation. She is a remarkable public servant for whom the liberation of the Libyan people has been a personal issue and a public mission," Kerry said. "She's an enormously capable person who has represented us at the United Nations with strength and character."
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
Bravo Sierra.
2799 days since 01/30/2005 when "Hanoi" John Kerry promised, on national TV, to sign form SF-180 and release his military records.
LOL! John Kerry talking about character! I'm glad I'll never need this windbag to have my back. Sheesh
From the mouth of Mr Ed,where everything is always political.
"......they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan...." -John Kerry
Kerry has zero credibility. Nobody should care what he has to say.
Look you dumb-ass Kerry, (You Lie anyway) all that breathes is politics, even your wanting to delay till after the election to get to the bottom of this hellacious event that people like you help to create, just when the hell are you not political, You dumb-ass...
Surprise ! Surprise !
The corrupt and incompetent rise up to defend the corrupt and incompetent.
You mean this same John Kerry?
Mr. President, I remember Christmas of 1968 sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians, and have the President of the United States telling the American people that I was not there; the troops were not in Cambodia.
I have that memory which is seared — seared — in me ....
Exhibit 25, Congressional Record - Senate of March 27, 1986, page 3594.
Susan has always been a loyal representative of the U.S. and willing to HIDE THE DECLINE of the FOREIGNERS REGIME like all good little bundahs should.
But I heard from a friend of a friend that Kerry was in Vietnam....is this true?
Great Satire Image... good job mate!
The only thing factual in that article is where Kerry says,
"I am deeply disturbed..."
Woulda thought this was from John Semmens.
Call your Senators and congressmen, demand they protect this country from those leaders who are endangering it. John F. Kerry should have been let go years ago.....
"Under questioning from the Committee, Kerry referred to the democratically elected government of South Vietnam -- our allies -- as a "dictatorial regime, the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime," while respectfully calling the North Vietnamese communist regime we were fighting by its oxymoronic official name, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the murderous Viet Cong's political arm by their preferred "Provisional Revolutionary Government.":
June, 1970 -- Kerry joins Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), a national veterans group that is part of the Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice. The PCPJ is a broad coalition of local and national organizations, including the Communist Party, USA, "committed to conducting demonstrations aimed at ending the war in Indochina, and poverty, racism and injustice at home." The VVAW, CCI and PCPJ all have headquarters at 156 Fifth Avenue in New York City. VVAW Executive Secretary Al Hubbard, a former Black Panther, is also on the coordinating committee of the PCPJ. Hubbard soon appoints Kerry to the VVAW's Executive Committee, bypassing the normal election process.
"Shortly after taking office in 1985, Kerry and Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa went on a fact-finding trip to Nicaragua, where they met with Daniel Ortega (right) and other Sandinistas. The trip was criticized when the Sandinistas cemented ties with Moscow."
And I am truly troubled with reading about Kerry's statements to congress about our troops (twice) and his throwing his (some other persons medals actually) over the fence at the WH.
I heard from a friend of a friend that Kerry was in Vietnam....is this true?
Except for the time he spent Christmas in Cambodia.
I believe he flew in there to singlehandedly save a bunch of CIA agents.
Of dourse, it's all Extra, Extra Top Secret Crypto, Need To Know, Hush Hush.
So there is no actual record of the trip.
But John Kerry was the inspiration for the John Rambo character - Just ask him.
If only we could find someone who focused on the politics instead of the facts... wait, that was Obama who stuck with the "popular uprising" fib for about two weeks until the entire world knew it was a well planned and executed terrorist attack. Then he tried to shove the old story down the memory hole and have his people claim that Obama always knew that it was terrorism.
I sometimes wonder how these people can say this stuff with a straight face.
Uh...hey Sen Gigolo....your comrade Obama made this merely about politics when he lied to the American people repeatedly about the nature of this attack in order to protect his political hide and his even more dangerous and potentially treasonous foreign policy!!
We will get to the bottom of this.....Obama and his administration's days of high crimes and misdemeanors are coming to an end..whether at the ballot box or impeachment proceedings. I would suggest that you and your fellow democrats and the corrupt American media see the writing on the wall before the Marxist Kenyan takes you all down with him.
We have an America Ambassador DEAD...and 3 American servicemen DEAD! Our embassy is in a smoking ruin and THE ALQEDA FLAG is flying over it for Christ's sake!! This is not about politics you stupid moron!! It is about the safety and security of our great nation and your president's lying and treasonous foreign policy!!
End of rant!
Just Kerry pandering........he wants to be Sec. of State.
The same way one gets to Carnegie Hall: practice, practice, practice.
I've never been to Cambodia, but I DID take a photo of it from atop an SF camp near the boder. Does that count, Senator?
Susan Rice is "remarkable," all right.
Worst. Ambassador. Ever. And that's saying a lot!
Ambassador Rice told bold-faced lies on every news outlet in America. Leon Panetta stated in a news conference that the Administration was aware that this was a coordinated terror attack within 24 hours after the incident occurred.
Ms. Rice appeared on the Sunday News shows 5 days after the attacks had occurred claiming that it was anger about the film, a film that nobody apparently has ever seen and that was released in June, but not talked about by any press agency until an embassy staffer in Egypt apparently under his own initiative and without any guidance from the White House, decided to take it upon himself to issue and apology lamenting it's existence.
An apology that, after criticism from Romney, the White House at first decided to disavow, and then after it was learned that Ambassador Stevens had been killed, they embraced whole heartily as the excuse for his demise and their incompetence.
The lame stream media was more than willing to swallow this administration line, but even they had to begin to questioning such a lame excuse.
There will need to be investigations, and they should start with this Egyptian embassy employee... I highly doubt that a lower level employee would be issuing such statements without some sort of authority or guidance. In fact, they should be put in protective custody immediately, lest they be sent to some new posting in Siberia or even worse in Libya.
One traitor making excuses for another traitor. Just another day in La La Land.
And he's not concerned at all about all the "nuance" coming out tof the administrartion...
Like two liars in the same pod.
Susan Rice is just a distraction. Who cares what she said? No one believed her, anyway.
lying bitch has been being touted as obammy's next sec of state if he wins re-election.
Sort of like have holder in at justice, little more than an obammy butt boy
With what passes for music these days, I could play Carnegie getting feedback from my guitar.
Kerry has no problem with that since he has a very straight face - some might say it's almost horse-like.
Bravo Zulu,soldier. Garry Owen.

Matt Murphy
Assistant Professor
Phone: (318) 869-5186
A.B., German (Certificate in Politics), Princeton University
M.A., German & European Studies, Georgetown University
Ph.D., Political Science, University of California, San Diego
Curriculum Vitae (pdf)
At Centenary College since 2012, Matt Murphy teaches on a wide range of topics in Comparative and International Politics, such as the challenges posed by transitions to democracy, ethnic and nationalist conflict, European politics, transitional justice and human rights, international law, international war and cooperation, foreign policy, and research methods. He is also a co-founder and advisor for the MENA Living Learning Community, focused on Middle Eastern affairs, and an advisor for Centenary's Model Arab League team.
His research interests focus on problems of democratization around the world, including "transitional justice" or dealing with the legacies of an authoritarian or violent past. His most recent projects concern the effects of transitional justice policies, such as criminal trials and screening/purge policies, in post-communist Eastern Europe, in the Middle East after the Arab Spring, and in historical cases of divided countries.
Before coming to Centenary he taught at Swarthmore College and Reed College. He received his PhD in Political Science from UC San Diego. Before deciding to pursue academics, Matt worked for this and that international development organization in Washington, DC for several years, got a Master's degree in German and European Studies, and held many temp jobs, some much more interesting than others.
His blog, "Politics on Mars", is dormant right now but will soon be restocked with fascinating commentary! The blog does not represent the views or opinions of Centenary College, it is purely Professor Murphy's responsibilty.

Collaborative Projects with Students:
Professor Murphy enjoys conducting in-depth collaborative research projects with his undergraduate students. He received supporting grants to work with a student during Summer 2005 on political parties in South Africa, and in 2008 on justice during the US occupations of Japan and Germany after World War II. During Summers 2014 and 2015 he and Centenary students conducted collaborative research projects on transitional justice in the Middle East and the post-communist world. In Fall 2015 he worked with a student carrying out statistical analysis of the effects of transitional justice policies.
Current and In-Progress Projects:
As Broyles Research Chair (2013-2014), Research Professor in the Social Sciences (2014-2015), and with Faculty Summer research support, Professor Murphy has been working on three projects. The first focuses on historical cases of transitional justice in divided countries, starting with the paper "Carpetbaggers, Scalawags, and Transitional Justice in post-Civil War Reconstruction" (presented at September 2013 meeting of the American Political Science Association, Chicago, IL). The second examines the effects of the implementation of transitional justice on democracy and human rights across the world, with particular focus on post-communist countries. The third project is an analysis of recent transitional justice attempts in both democratic and authoritarian countries in the Middle East.

B. Grace Jones (Denali Dragonfly) is a stress relief expert. She teaches people simple coping skills to release stress, pain, fatigue, or problems by using a powerful system that totally changed her life. Grace experienced disabling symptoms for three years. After using the skills on herself she returned to full and vibrant health and now teaches others worldwide how to change their lives. Grace believes others may also change if they are willing and persistent. Because she continues her personal work daily, Grace believes, "If I can heal, you can too." (Continue reading a short biography)
Grace was raised the youngest of four in a Christian home in Kansas by parents dedicated to education. Physical symptoms of stress began at age 17 and slowly increased to manifest in many ways.
As a young adult Grace began studies in personal and spiritual growth. In 1969 she was married and worked in Western Medical Healthcare for six years in Kansas and California. After three years at home raising children and a move to Oklahoma, healthcare seemed too stressful as a working mom. In 1979 she began a 27-year career in Graphic Design/Print Production. Her intention was to return to health care after the children were raised.
By the mid 1980s Grace was treated for individual symptoms that are now a medically recognized collection labeled Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue (FM/CFS). She joined 12-step fellowships in 1989, and enlarged her beliefs to include universal spiritual truth found in all religions.
After her 25-year marriage ended and their three children were raised, Grace began to search for a way to return to healthcare. Since the field had changed dramatically and had not effectively served her health needs, she began to study alternative therapies while continuing her graphics career. Motivated by more stress-related symptoms, she moved to Alaska in 1999 hoping to find a new life of personal peace.
Grace enlarged her personal growth and alternative health studies to seek wellness from symptoms that plagued her for decades. Her personal work evolved nicely, but she was stuck in advertising unable to find her way into a healing arts career. Her life, as she knew it, ended abruptly in 2005 when she became ill with Mononucleosis (EBV Epstein-Barr Virus). She could no longer work since EBV on top of FM/CFS symptoms created a relapse cycle for three years.
She searched for a way to heal, but only had minor results until her friend, Linda Esser introduced her to a meridian "tapping" method. In the first phone session with Linda the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual changes were so dramatic that Grace knew this would heal her if she practiced it daily on everything. In addition to personal practice she continued private sessions with Linda weekly for two months. Within six months she moved to Kansas, began training in Oklahoma and was certified as a FasterEFT Master Practitioner (Emotionally Focused Transformations). She continued to personally practice the skills daily and after two-and-a-half years completely healed the disabling symptoms.
Grace is a highly energetic and happy. Seven years after onset of EBV she is healthier than she's ever been her entire adult life. She continues to create changes to live the life of her dreams. She works with clients privately to help them change and create the lives they want. She studies new processes to learn how to integrate ancient and innovative techniques into her personal and professional practice.
