Gwen Stefani Post Pregnancy Body
Gwen Stefani was spotted by paparazzi when she made a doctor visit this week. She gave birth to Zuma Nesta, her second child two weeks ago and she already looks amazing fit.
In a recent interview she said she would love to have more kids and she admitted that having babies made her relationship with husband Gavin Rossdale much stronger.
(It's great to) see how we've both become more romantic and caring for each other simply because we've seen how beautiful it is to have come this far together and started a new chapter in our lives… I feel we're closer in many ways now that we're building something together outside our own crazy relationship.

My Lai
Interestingly enough, what you who advocate the disarming of American citizens are saying – in short, is that your fellow citizens cannot be trusted with a gun – no matter what kind of gun it is.
It is a line in the sand.
For those who understand that the present debate has little to do with what kind of "arms" you possess or advocate – then what you do understand is that at some point you must decide that the intrusion on your private affairs must be confronted with a "thus far and no further" response – hence the debate over semi-automatic weapons and the number of bullets they will be allowed to consume in a short period of time.
Unlike the US Senator that argued that "magazines" should be limited – and then turned to her colleague and asked, "are those the same magazines I buy at Wal-Mart that have articles about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie – I am not so sure we should ban those."
And then added, "And what is this thing about "clips" – what do beauty salons have to do with this?"
For those of you who plan to limit what kinds of arms you will allow your fellow citizens to possess there are some things that you might want to consider – but before I go on let me share a little story with you.
When I was 8 years old my mother was recently divorced and working nights for $1.80 per hour. That was minimum wage in 1963 and it was difficult to support her three children on such wages – so much so that she took a night shift at the hospital – what they called "11 to 7" because it paid a bit more. To supplement our meager resources my brother – about 18 months older than I, and myself, hunted and fished to put food on the table. Fishing is a non-combatant sport – hunting isn't. Hunting involves instruments that are able to kill at a distance. My brother had a 4:10 gauge shotgun, and I carried a .22 caliber rifle. We hunted mostly rabbits – but also quail and pheasant.
In order to do so, we often took risks that involved our personal safety. We walked through woods where we could not see each other – hoping to flush out a rabbit or bird that would become our next meal. In order to know where the other was during these times we developed a distinctive whistle that let each other know where we were to avoid an accidental shot when a movement appeared – us!
There was one time I remember by the train tracks at the grain silo in Colo that I had the job of kicking through the snow in the ditch to scare up the rabbits which he, standing on the train tracks – shot as they ran out in front of me. I trusted him to operate that lethal killing instrument to the benefit of our family who needed food – I had no fear that he would turn that weapon on me or somehow accidently shoot me. He was a pretty good shot.
In fact, I grew up in a family of farmers and hunters – and I can say without reservation that there was not a single one of them that I did not trust with a weapon of any kind. Had it been a shotgun or a cruise missile it would not have mattered – they conducted themselves with the utmost care when they handled a weapon of any kind.
These people would not have handed me a sharp knife or a pair of scissors without first being sure that there was not any possibility of that instrument causing me any harm. In fact, in the 60 years that I lived among them, there was only one time that I ever saw the standard rifles and shotguns that you find on almost any farm or homestead locked up – and that was when some untrusted juveniles happened to be visiting for a long weekend.
"So! Aha!" you say, "here lies the problem! You just can't put that trust in the average citizen of the United States anymore, especially weapons like the AR15! That trust belongs in the hands of one group of people and one group of people only – the government, the police and the military!"
There is a raging controversy in this country about the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. I would dare say that most of those involved in the current debate know little of the Constitution of the United States – and have probably never read the 2nd Amendment for themselves. They probably could not tell you if the Bill of Rights is a separate document.
The 2nd Amendment reads:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Although the current debate would have you believe that the issue is "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" this debate is not what the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution is actually about.
The "subject" of the 2nd Amendment is "a free state."
The key words are "necessary to the security of a free state." The basic implications are simple. The right to bear arms is not allowed in a state or for those subject to a government in which "the people" are not "free."
The founders of the American Republic stated that in order for a "free state" to exist that "a well regulated militia" was "necessary." It is important to know what they were talking about.
First the word "militia" which is a civilian army. This is a military force composed of civilians and that is not subject to the government or existing military forces. It is a separate military force, and unlike the Army slogan this really can be "an army of one." Each and every citizen has the opportunity to be part of this military force – and they answer to no one but themselves.
This "militia" is "necessary." In this case the word necessary is used as an adjective and it means "essential, required to be done, achieved or present."
Remember that the subject of the 2nd Amendment is "a free state." What the Founding Fathers were saying here is that a free state cannot be achieved or present unless there is a "well regulated militia."
They stated that this militia was "necessary."
The men who made the 2nd Amendment part of The Bill of Rights were some of the most profound thinkers that humanity has ever produced. The Federal Republic that they delivered unto the United States of America is an unequaled form of government – something never conceived or attempted before in the history of man. They were visionaries who foresaw and made provision for a government that if properly instituted would serve humanity in its best and most desirable circumstances. They knew what they were talking about.
By including the 2nd Amendment in The Bill of Rights they were not only drawing on their most recent experiences with the British Crown – but they were taking into account all empires that had come and gone down through recorded history. They didn't mince their words – and in the framing of the Constitution they were so precise and succinct as to defy the intellect of most of their contemporaries – and certainly most of their modern critics.
In the 2nd Amendment they use a word that is just this precise – and it is worth careful consideration. They stated that the people's right to bear arms was "necessary." (essential, required.)
They didn't tell us whether or not they liked the fact that the citizenry would need to retain this right to bear arms. They didn't say they thought it was just somebody's good idea. They didn't laud the qualities of weapons of war.
Finally, they add that in order to have this "necessary" "militia" that the "right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed." The Second Amendment gives this right to "the people." Not to the police, the military, or the National Guard. Not to private security agencies like Blackwater. No, this "right" is specifically granted to "the people," and that it should not be infringed.
The word "infringed" means "to limit or to undermine."
They stated this in the most unequivocal terms. They did not leave room for debate on this. In fact, they raised this idea to the same level of importance for a "free" society as any of the other Amendments that we call The Bill of Rights.
They did not state that they liked guns, or had some kind of "love affair" with guns. They did not extol the virtues of the Brown Bess or the Charleyville.
They did not say that this necessity would result in a completely peaceful and non-violent republic.
For those who are determined to protect the "free state" that the Founding Fathers delivered unto us the right to bear arms establishes the right to resist tyranny, it is a very simple "thus far and no further." An armed militia is essential for the free state to continue to exist – plain and simple.
It is ludicrous to suggest that the framers of The Bill of Rights should have intended that the "right to bear arms" was anything other than what would be considered "equal firepower." The M-16 and the AR-15 had not been invented. The British regulars carried The Brown Bess – a flintlock muzzle loading musket that had a 75 caliber bore and used a 69 caliber ball. The Colonists had mostly Charleyville French made muskets that had a 69 caliber bore and used a 65 caliber ball. To suggest that "the right to bear arms" should have, at the time of the adoption of the Bill of Rights meant that the British should lawfully carry The Brown Bess and the Colonists should lawfully carry pitchforks, knives, and clubs is simply ridiculous – worthy only of ridicule.
But you say, "Things have changed. I want the police and military to have weapons, but don't give them to my fellow citizens."
You might want to reconsider that idea.
On March 16, 1968 Charlie Company was ready. "Company C of 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division, arrived in South Vietnam in December 1967. Though their first month in Vietnam passed without any direct enemy contact, by mid-March the company had suffered 28 incidents involving mines or booby-traps which caused numerous injuries and five deaths." (from Wikipedia) They had been in Vietnam for a short time – only 3 months, but in that time they had suffered such casualties at the hands of the Viet Cong. The Tet Offensive (as it became known) of January 1968 had just taken place and the VC's 48th Battalion was "known" to be holed up in a series of hamlets known as My Lai. During the Tet Offensive the VC had smuggled weapons into civilian areas, including the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon. Many of these weapons had been buried in caskets during mock funerals and on the Vietnamese New Year known as Tet – the VC had unearthed these weapons for an all-out assault on the ARVAN and the US Forces. It had been a complete military failure in terms of casualties – but it had been an emotional victory and morale among the US troops was at low ebb.
The word from Intelligence was that the VC and VC sympathizers had a stronghold in My Lai – that pretty much everyone there was either VC or aiding the VC in their recent attacks. Intelligence reports went on to say that on that Saturday morning all the "friendly" inhabitants would travel to nearby markets – places where VC sympathizers were reluctant to show their faces. In fact, everyone in the hamlet of My Lai would be Viet Cong.
Charlie Company was "hopped up" and they locked and loaded. It was a fine morning for revenge.
The ensuing massacre is difficult to describe and even more difficult to understand. Charlie Company found no combat aged males – only old men, women and children. There were no weapons caches.
But the men of Charlie Company had come to settle a score.
Women were raped – some gang raped before they were beaten and shot. Some of the women had the emblem of Charlie Company cut into their chests while they were being raped. Villagers were taken to a nearby ditch – lined up and shot. Anyone trying to run away was deemed a "combatant" and shot. In all over 500 old men, women and children were massacred. The dead included fifty children 3 or younger. There were sixty nine children between the ages of 4 and 7. Twenty seven of those murdered were in their 70's or 80's.
You might ask yourself the question of how such an atrocity could take place at the hands of the US military in the "modern age." You might even want to consider what you would have done had you been the husband of father of some of these women and children if you had an M-16 with which to shoot back.
The simple answer is that the atrocity took place because the Vietnamese people as a whole had been dehumanized in the eyes of the general public – and most certainly in the eyes of the US soldiers. They were called "gooks" and "slope heads". Killing them was not called "killing" or "murder" but was called "wasting" – so the act of murdering a defenseless child, woman or elderly man was called "wasting a gook." It was something almost admirable.
At the height of the madness at My Lai, Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jr. and his helicopter crew – seeing what was taking place on the ground, and observing Capt. Medina kick and then shoot an unarmed woman – and after repeated attempts to call for support; landed their helicopter in a ditch full of bodies. There Thompson confronted Second Lt. Calley who claimed to "just be following orders" – and unable to stop what was taking place he and his crew returned to the helicopter and took off.
They then saw a group of Vietnamese hiding in a bunker being approached by the marauding soldiers. Thompson again landed and after coaxing the 12-16 civilians out to his helicopter he ordered his gunner to shoot anyone who tried to harm them.
It could be argued that Warrant Officer Thompson and his crew could not have carried out their heroic acts that day unless they were sufficiently armed. If they had not had "sufficient firepower" at their disposal they would not have been able to protect the people that they did. It can certainly be argued that weapons such as the M-16 in the wrong hands that day contributed to the massacre – but remember, these weapons were in the hands of trained soldiers fighting in the forces of the greatest superpower the world has ever known who were "just following orders."
The civilians were defenseless.
Superior firepower has been the holy grail of all military organizations down through history. In fact, superior weapons as a deterrent are and have been the policy of our own government for at least six decades. It is this very policy that resulted in the nuclear arms race and the Cold war – the escalation of nuclear arms development and the eventual proliferation of nuclear weapons.
In a move that could only be considered the epitome of self-righteousness – the US, France, Russia, China and Great Britain declared themselves to be the only nations that could legally possess nuclear weapons. This was established in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty of 1970. Three more nations, that is, India, Pakistan, and North Korea subsequently announced nuclear capabilities, and an additional five nations have been given nuclear arms through the US policy of "weapons sharing". These are Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Turkey. South Africa once had nuclear weapons but dismantled them before joining the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty. There is now speculation that Iran is developing a nuclear program that is not sanctioned by the members of the NNP Treaty. Oddly, there is never a mention of Israel as a nation that possesses nuclear weapons, although that is widely considered to be a fact.
So much for "Non-Proliferation."
You can argue that one American citizen armed with an AR-15 is no match to the superior firepower of the DHS or Police or a tyrannical government – and you would be correct. However – there are no tyrants who misunderstand the power of an armed resistance.
Put yourself in the villages of My Lai – and decide if you would stand idly by while the carnage took place. If I had been a Vietnamese father or husband who had the "arms" to do so, I don't think I would have.
Disarming your citizens invites tyranny – and a prolonged struggle to regain that basic right to resist – a right granted by the Bill of Rights – a necessity that "shall not be infringed" – that is – if you want to live in a "free state" – if you want to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Ask King George and the British Regulars who crushed the feeble resistance at Concord and Lexington on April 19, 1775. Ask them how important that failed stand by a poorly armed citizenry was? Those resistors – willing to make a stand to protect their homes and families against tyranny, and against the intrusion of a superior military force invading their towns and homes, those armed resistors lit a flame that still burns brightly.
It's a flame we call freedom.

"There are five square knots on the quilt every two inches apart. They escaped on the fifth knot on the tenth pattern and went to Ontario, Canada. The monkey wrench turns the wagon wheel toward Canada on a bear's paw trail to the crossroads--"
And so begins the fascinating story that was passed down from generation to generation in the family of Ozella McDaniel Williams. But what appears to be a simple story that was handed down from grandmother to mother to daughter is actually much, much more than that. In fact, it is a coded message steeped in African textile traditions that provides a link between slave-made quilts and the Underground Railroad.
In 1993, author Jacqueline Tobin visited the Old Market Building in the historic district of Charleston, South Carolina, where local craftspeople sell their wares. Amid piles of beautiful handmade quilts, Tobin met African American quilter Ozella Williams and the two struck up a conversation. With the admonition to "write this down," Williams began to tell a fascinating story that had been handed down from her mother and grandmother before her.
As Tobin sat in rapt attention, Williams began to describe how slaves made coded quilts and then used them to navigate their escape on the Underground Railroad. But just as quickly as she started, Williams stopped, informing Tobin that she would learn the rest when she was "ready."
During the three years it took for Williams's narrative to unfold--and as the friendship and trust between the two women grew--Tobin enlisted Raymond Dobard, Ph.D., an art history professor and well-known African American quilter, to help provide the historical context behind what Williams was describing.
Now, based on Williams's story and their own research, Tobin and Dobard, in what they call "Ozella's Underground Railroad Quilt Code," offer proof that some slaves were involved in a sophisticated network that melded African textile traditions with American quilt practices and created a potent result: African American quilts with patterns that conveyed messages that were, in fact, essential tools for escape along the Underground Railroad.

This invention relates to improvements in rubber-to-metal bonding. More particularly, the invention is directed to using a mixture comprised of epoxidized diene polymer and methylolated phenolic resins as a primer in rubber-to-metal bonding operations.
In the adhesive bonding of rubber to metal, a primer is usually required so as to insure the formation of a strong adhesive bond. Furthermore, in many applications the primers must also be flexible to accommodate metal forming operations without loss of metal to primer adhesion, resistance to corrosion, thermal or chemical degradation and anodic or cathodic deterioration. In formulating primer compositions which possess the foregoing properties, the formulator must also consider the requirement that the primer must not only form a strong adhesive bond with the final or cover coating but also enhance the bonding between the adhesive and the metal.
Many structural parts utilized in various industrial applications contain rubber-to-metal adhesive bonds. One example of an industrial application which utilizes metal parts bonded to rubber substrates can be found in the automobile industry where fluid-filled engine mounting devices are used to mount engines to automobile frames in order to isolate engine vibration. The mounting devices employ rubber-to-metal bonds which are exposed to fluids such as ethylene glycol. At the increasingly high temperatures being experienced in current automobile engines, many of the traditional rubber-to-metal adhesives utilized in the mounting devices are exhibiting deterioration and unacceptable flexibility in these high temperature fluid environments.
It is an object of the invention, therefore, to bond rubber-to-metal substrates using a primer composition which after cover coating provides a bonded rubber-to-metal article of manufacture exhibiting outstanding flexibility and bonding properties.
Another object of the invention is to provide a rubber-to-metal adhesively-bonded assembly whose adhesive bonds exhibit strong resistance to corrosion, heat, humidity and chemicals such as ethylene glycol/water systems.
These and other objects are obtained by an improvement in the bonding of a metal substrate to a rubber substrate wherein the primer composition is first applied to a surface of the metal substrate and the rubber substrate is then bonded to the primer composition-coated metal substrate surface using a rubber-to-metal bonding adhesive; said improvement comprising using as said primer composition a mixture comprising an epoxidized diene polymer having a molecular weight of about 500 to 30,000 and a resole type phenolic resin, in a weight ratio of about 2 to 100 parts of said diene polymer per 100 parts of said resole type phenolic resin.
The internally epoxidized diene polymer component of the primer composition is a rubber or an elastomeric polymer containing at least one epoxy group in the molecular chain of the polymer and having a molecular weight of at least about 500 up to about 30,000. In general, the epoxy equivalent of the epoxidized diene polymers will be at least about 500 up to about 30,000. The epoxidized diene polymer of this invention is obtained by reacting a diene polymer with a generally known epoxidizing agent.
Diene polymers which are useful for preparing the present epoxidized diene polymers include polybutadiene, polypentadiene, polyisoprene, diene rubber or other diene polymers and their derivatives. Diene polymers which have functional radicals such as carboxyl radical and hydroxyl radical at the end of the polymer chains can also be used.
Epoxidizing agents which may be reacted with the diene polymers of the invention include organic peracids such as performic acid, peracetic acid, perpropionic acid, perlaurylic acid and perbenzoic acid; and organic hydroperoxides such as t-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide. Although not required, a lower molecular weight carboxylic acid such as formic acid, acetic acid or propionic acid may be utilized to enhance the performance of the hydroperoxide epoxidizing agents.
The epoxidization reaction is carried out by adding an epoxidizing agent to a diene polymer or by adding a diene polymer to an epoxidizing agent. The diene polymers can be used either by themselves or with solvents which do not react with epoxidizing agents. Typical solvents include chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, toluene, xylene and the like. It is also possible to carry out the epoxidization reaction by utilizing mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and cationic type catalysts such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and p-toluene sulfonic acid, or by utilizing mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and low molecular weight carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid or propionic acid. When utilizing the above mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and acid, the diene polymers can be added to the epoxidizing mixtures or the epoxidizing mixtures can be added to the diene polymers or solutions of the diene polymers.
It should also be noted that the perbenzoic acid mentioned above may be generated in situ with the diene polymers by adding benzaldehyde to the reaction mixture in the presence of molecular oxygen and ultraviolet radiation as is known in the art.
Although the required quantities of epoxidizing agents depend on their nature and on the conditions for reaction, the epoxidizing agents are usually utilized in amounts in excess of the amounts calculated for the desired levels of oxirane oxygen in the final epoxidized polybutadiene polymer.
The temperature of the epoxidization reaction depends on the kinds of epoxidizing agents and catalysts being used. If organic peracids are utilized, the reaction temperature can range from 0�-95� C., preferably 40�-70� C. If organic hydroperoxides are utilized, the temperature can range from 7�-150� C., preferably 90�-140� C. The time for the reaction depends on the reaction temperature and desired oxirane oxygen content, but it is usually completed in several hours. After completion of the epoxidization reaction, an epoxy compound of the object material is obtained and residual catalysts, solvents and materials of low boiling point are removed by filtration or distillation under reduced pressure.
In addition to the above description the epoxized diene polymers may be obtained by polymerizing a monomer having an unsaturated bond and an epoxy group in its molecules such as glycidyl acrylate, glycydyl methacrylate, allyl glycidyl ether and at least a conjugated diethylenically unsaturated monomer having at least 4 carbon atoms either alone or with a minor amount of a dissimilar monomer. Suitable conjugated diethylenically unsaturated monomers include butadiene, isoprene, chloroprene halogenated (e.g., chlorinated) butadiene, etc. Illustrative of dissimilar copoymerizable olefinically unsaturated monomers are aromatic vinyl compounds such as styrene, vinyltoluene, vinylxylene, chlorostyrene, bromostyrene, dichlorostyrene, α-methylstyrene, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylic acid esters such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, 2-hydroxtyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, methacrylic acid esters such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, hexyl methacrylate, lauryl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, acrylamide and methacrylamide.
The polymerization reaction forming the epoxidized diene polymer component as described immediately above is carried out in a conventional manner such as by bulk polymerization, emulsion polymerization, suspension polymerization, or solution polymerization, in the presence of conventional radical initiators, at a polymerization temperature of 0� C. to 150� C. and under atmospheric pressure or elevated pressure. If desired, chain transfer agents such as dodecyl mercaptan, lauryl mercaptan may also be employed.
Examples of suitable radical initiators include organic peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, t-butyl perbenzoate, cumene hydroperoxide, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, organic azo catalysts such as 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 1,1'-azobiscyclohexanone-1-carbonitrile, 2,2'-azobis(2-amidino-propane)hydrochloride; inorganic peroxides such as potassium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, potassium bromate and hydrogen peroxide.
The preferred epoxidized diene rubber polymers of the invention are epoxidized polybutadiene and epoxidized polychloroprene having an epoxy equivalent of about 100 to 30,000.
The resole type phenolic resins of the invention are well known methylolated phenolic resins having the structure: ##STR1## wherein Z is --CH2 --, --CH2 OCH2 -- or ##STR2## R is hydrogen, hydrocarbonyl radical containing from one to about 18 carbon atoms, --CH2 OH and/or CH2 OR' or halogen (Cl, Br, F), n is zero or 1, and m is an integer from 0-12.
These resins are prepared by reacting a phenol with an excess of formaldehyde in the presence of an alkaline catalyst. For oil solubility a phenol having a para-substituted hydrocarbon group having at least 4 carbon atoms such as tert-butyl, tert-amyl, hexyl, nonyl, dodecyl, etc. group is preferred. A number of preparations may be used such as disclosed in the textbook "Phenolic Resins", Pages 95-77, A Knop and L. Plato, Springer-Verlag New York 1985. These resins have relatively high methylol contents. Mixtures of dimethylolphenolic resins such as 2,6-dimethylol-4-nonylphenol and dibenzyl ether of 2,6-dimethylol-4-nonylphenol may also be used. Another desirable phenolic resin material may be prepared by reacting a mixture of phenol and a suitable para-substituted phenol with formaldehyde thereby resulting in a resin having a number of phenolic rings and an occasional methylol-group available for cross-linking. Generally, the preferred dimethylol phenolic resins used in the compositions of the invention have molecular weights between about 210 and 3000.
Various additives such as fillers, supplemental film-formers, adhesion improvers and the like may be included in the primer composition of the invention, in amounts known in the art, without deleteriously altering the advantageous properties thereof. Such additives may enhance the viscosity and other desired properties from the standpoint of application of the primer. Fillers include finely divided substantially inert solid materials such as carbon black silica, titanium oxide and anticorrosion pigments such as zinc phosphate.
In preparation for use, the primer composition of the invention is prepared by mixing the components in an organic solvent such as alcohol solvents, e.g., methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, octyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl alcohol, nonyl alcohol, etc., ketone solvents, e.g., acetone, methylethylketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, isophorone, etc., ether solvents, e.g., isopropylether, n-butyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethylether, ethyleneglycol monoethyl glycol, etc., ester solvents, e.g., ethylacetate, isobutyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, 2-ethylhexyl acetate, etc., aromatic solvents, e.g., toluene, xylene, cyclohexane, ethylbenzene, etc. or solvent mixtures of the foregoing. The preferred solvents are ketone solvents.
Any suitable mixing means such as a high shear mixer or a sand mill can be employed to accomplish the mixing.
The covercoat adhesive component of the present invention can be any of the adhesives conventionally employed in rubber-to-metal bonding. The conventional adhesives include compositions containing thermosetting condensation polymers; polymers and copolymers of polar ethylenically unsaturated materials, halogenated rubbers, and polyisocyanates.
The invention exhibits particularly advantageous results when the covercoat is an halogenated polymer or rubber adhesive composition such as those described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,258,388, 3,640,941, 3,282,883, 3,830,784, 4,119,587, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Preferred rubber-to-metal bonding adhesives for use in the present invention are comprised of halogen-containing polymers or rubbers containing small amounts of poly-C-nitroso aromatic compounds such as are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,258,388.
In the bonding operation of the invention, the primer composition is applied to the metal surface as by brushing, spraying, dipping or the like, preferably after it has been cleaned. The primer coating is allowed to dry and the covercoat adhesive applied thereover in a conventional manner. The applied covercoat is then permitted to dry to remove the solvent.
Drying may be carried out under ambient conditions, that is room temperature, in about 30 to 40 minutes. Solvent evaporation rate can be increased by the use of heat, forced air or both. Generally: forced drying temperatures should be maintained below 200� F.
The surfaces to be bonded are then brought together with the dried adhesive phase therebetween, and the adhesive cured under heat and sufficient pressure to insure intimate contact of the surfaces being bonded and the adhesive. The adhesive itself can be cured at temperatures ranging from about 250� F. to about 400� F. for a time commensurate with the temperature employed. Thus, at the lower end of the temperature range, curing may require as long as an hour; whereas at the upper end of the range, curing may occur in a matter of minutes. Typical representative curing conditions are 250� F. for 60 minutes, 275� F. for 20 minutes, and 300� F. for 5 minutes. The particular conditions selected may be dictated largely by the materials being bonded. For example, should an unvulcanized elastomer be bonded, in which case vulcanization (or curing) of the elastomer and curing of the adhesive will occur at the same time, conditions suitable for the vulcanization of the elastomer will be selected.
The following examples are given for purposes of illustration only and are not to be considered limiting. In the examples, the following tests were employed to characterize the invention.
The assembled test piece after vulcanization at 160� C. for 15 minutes is dipped into a 70/30 ethylene glycol/water mixture maintained at a temperature of 120� C. for 2 weeks, after which it is removed and examined for separation.
Adhesive coated metal substrates are bonded to 0.25 inch thick rubber sections. The bonded part is placed in a vise and bent approximately 90� in the middle of the bonded area. The rubber is pulled from the metal substrate until failure occurs. Failure in the rubber is desirous.
Bonded rubber-to-metal samples are tested in accordance with ASTM-D 429-B standard adjusted to a 45 degree angle.
Force necessary to fracture rubber specimens as measured in accordance with ASTM-D 412-87.
The following primer composition was prepared by mixing the following ingredients on a high speed, high shear mill:
______________________________________Alkylresorcinol, (60% MEK Solution) 25.0Resole resin (1) 75.0Internal Epoxy Polybutadiene (2) 30.0Carbon black 32.5Titanium dioxide 93.6Hydrophobic silica 3.9MEK 780.0 1,040.0______________________________________
The resulting formation has the following properties:
______________________________________Viscosity (#2 Spindle, 60 rpm, 13 (CPS)at 25� C.)Specific gravity (100 ml 0.955 (g/ml)specific gravity cup, at 25� C.)Solids content 25.7 (%)(dried for 2 hours at 107� C.)______________________________________
Various rubber-to-metal bonded assemblies were prepared by applying the formulation to a prepared metal surface and after drying to remove solvent, the covercoat of a commercial rubber-to-metal adhesive was applied thereover. A rubber piece and metal piece were then brought together with the primer/covercoat therebetween and bonded together with curing (vulcanizing) for 15 minutes at 160� C. The rubber-to-metal bonded assemblies were then subjected to the Flexibility (90� Bend) Test and the Ethylene Glycol/Water Resistance Test. When Chemlok�220 (Lord Corporation) covercoat was used, the Flexibility Test results showed total failure in the rubber 100R and none in the adhesive interface.
The primer compositions identified in Example 2 below are formed as in Example 1 and rubber-to-metal bonded assemblies were prepared in a similar manner using various commercial covercoat rubber-to-metal bonding adhesives. Each was tested for tensile strength, drawability, and "recent" stock.

To examine associations between shopping, food preparation, meal and eating behaviours and fruit and vegetable intake among women.
Cross-sectional survey.
Community-based sample from metropolitan Melbourne, Australia.
A sample of 1136 women aged 18–65 years, randomly selected from the electoral roll.
Food-related behaviours reflecting organisation and forward-planning, as well as enjoyment of and high perceived value of meal shopping, preparation and consumption were associated with healthier intakes of fruits and vegetables. For example, women who more frequently planned meals before they went shopping, wrote a shopping list, enjoyed food shopping, planned in the morning what they will eat for dinner that night, planned what they will eat for lunch, reported they enjoy cooking, liked trying new recipes and who reported they sometimes prepare dishes ahead of time were more likely to consume two or more servings of vegetables daily. Conversely, women who frequently found cooking a chore, spent less than 15 minutes preparing dinner, decided on the night what they will eat for dinner, ate in a fast-food restaurant, ate takeaway meals from a fast-food restaurant, ate dinner and snacks while watching television and who frequently ate on the run were less likely to eat two or more servings of vegetables daily.
Practical strategies based on these behavioural characteristics could be trialled in interventions aimed at promoting fruit and vegetable consumption among women.

K-E Diet: Is the Feeding Tube Diet Dangerous?
Diets & Weight Loss
Women reach the menopause years typically around the age of 50. When this happens, a variety of physiological changes and associated symptoms occur that can sometimes have a profound impact on their lives. While the symptoms of menopause vary from woman to woman, there are a few that are remarkably consistent. Consider the following general symptoms of menopause and the natural means of treatment that I recommend.
- Hot flashes. These typically begin to occur when women start to have irregular periods, and usually end one or two years after menstruation has ceased. Hot flashes can be experienced as flushing or warmth in the face and upper body, or as sweating and chills. Black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) is a traditional herb that may help alleviate hot flashes. Natural therapies such as yoga, visualization and Traditional Chinese Medicine may also help.
- Depression. Perhaps due to hormone changes, depression is a side effect of menopause that some women experience. Following an anti-inflammatory diet and getting regular exercise can help address mild depression. Understanding and accepting that menopause is a transitional phase that is a natural part of life can help as well.
- Insomnia. If you experience insomnia, consider valerian and melatonin. Valerian is a sedative herb – take one to two capsules a half hour before bedtime. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates the wake/sleep cycle and other daily biorhythms. Sublingual tablets placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve are a good choice – take 2.5 mg at bedtime as an occasional dose, making sure that your bedroom is completely dark. (A much lower dose, 0.25 to 0.3 mg, is more effective for regular use.) Paying attention to sleep hygiene may also help: set a regular bedtime, make sure your bed and bedroom are comfortable, and prepare for sleep with a warm bath.
- Irritability and mood swings. If you find yourself becoming irritable and moody, try some breath work, such as Breath Counting. It's simple: Gently close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Then let the breath come naturally without trying to influence it. Ideally it will be quiet and slow, but depth and rhythm may vary. To begin the exercise, count "one" to yourself as you exhale. The next time you exhale, count "two," and so on up to "five." Then begin a new cycle, counting "one" on the next exhalation. Never count higher than "five," and count only when you exhale. You will know your attention has wandered when you find yourself up to "eight," "12," even "19."
Headaches and vaginal dryness are other symptoms of menopause – your doctor can talk with you about the best way to address these concerns. Tests can determine if you are indeed in menopause, so don't hesitate to see your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.

Last Night: The Black Angels At Fitzgerald's
Photos By Marc Brubaker
Rocks Off hopes that this observation is wrong, but we don't think that people give the Black Angels enough due credit as a Texas band, even though everything about them encapsulates the 50 years of Texas rock. The spookiness of everything Roky Erickson touched, the swing of Doug Sahm, the bitter bite of the best Townes Van Zandt drug ballad, it's all inside the Angels.
This was our fourth Angels show in about a year, as we have followed along the promotional track of 2010's Phosphene Dream. Does that qualify us as overqualified to have covered this show last night? Possibly.
Back to the Texas angle. To us, the Angels are Texas rock, even if some of us don't see Austin as Texas anymore, but some outgrowth of Pick Any Large Liberal City Where Your Lawyer Can Have Visible Tattoos. The Angels are a hot Texas night, bad decisions, border violence, the wrong pills, bored looking girls, and questing all rolled up into a band. Everything that's not advertised by the tourism board.
Openers Spindrift were a treat for the folks who showed up early, mixing in some Chet Atkins twang into their stoner bluster. Direct openers Dead Meadow were met with a wall of pot smoke when they came on around 9:40. Longtime Meadow fans were freaked out by the band's sudden clean-cut appearance too. We just sat enthralled that three people can sound like that.
The Angels set was heavy on the Phosphene stuff, but managed to cover the band's catalog succinctly. Opening cuts "Haunting At 1300 McKinley" and "The Sniper" started things with a howl, with their Doors stomp and slither. The band's backing imagery didn't get going until "Telephone," with blood flying behind the band in time with the music.

"Black Grease," off the band's breakthrough Passover got the first yelps of the evening. Passover still manages to convert people to the Angels side five years since it entered the world. There is something about the songs on Passover that you can't wash off yourself after repeated dosings.
A double shot of "Young Men Dead" and "You On The Run" brought the evening to a boil, with lead singer Alex Maas now soaked in sweat and drummer Stephanie Bailey proving why she is sorely underrated. She plays like a metal drummer, and no one sees it.
The encore brought "Melanie's Melody" from this year's Phosgene Nightmare EP -- a collection of extras from the Phosphene sessions -- plus "The Prodigal Sun" from Passover, and the title track to Phosphene.
Personal Bias: A Lot good, bad, and ugly things have happened to Rocks Off surrounding Black Angels show. Each time around is a nostalgic trip for better or hilarious.
The Crowd: We've seen Fitz upstairs packed, and last night it was very packed. Lord Lemmy help us next week for that Mastodon show.
Overheard in the Crowd: Beer bottles being thrown into trash cans, random howling along with guitarist Christian Bland.
Random Notebook Dump: How can such a scary, haunting band make me smile so much? That shit (sigh) cray.

Flying in the Face of Tradition
Listening to the Lived Experience of the FaithfulThe current quandary that the Roman Catholic Church finds itself in right now is what Brother Louis DeThomasis calls "a crisis of confidence" in this insightful, provocative, and hopeful new book. He points to the way of unraveling the quandary by returning the church's historic belief in tradition- "the lived experience of the faithful" - as a source of ongoing revelation and renewal. This is not
A Catholic Church for the Twenty-First CenturyThe word but was used by Jesus often to clarify to his disciples his teaching was different from the conventional wisdom of the time: "But I say to you..." This was never more true when he was speaking about how the disciples (right up to today) were to act toward one another and toward those outside the group. Louis DeThomasis, a well-respected De La Salle Christian Brother and President Emeritus
Healing the Serious Split in the Catholic ChurchPope Francis has called upon Catholics to use what he calls "the grammar of simplicity" when talking with one another and with others outside the church. In this groundbreaking work, Brother Louis De Thomasis and Sr. Cynthia Nienhaus use the grammar of simplicity to describe the current schism happening in the Catholic Church worldwide and offer solutions for how to heal it. Using the grammar of
Monk Habits for Everyday People
Benedictine Spirituality for ProtestantsIn their zeal for reform, early Protestant leaders tended to throw out Saint Benedict with the holy water. That is a mistake, writes Dennis Okholm, in Monk Habits for Everyday People. While on retreat in a Benedictine abbey, the author, a professor who was raised as a Pentecostal and a Baptist, observed how the meditative and ordered life of a monk lifted Jesus' teachings off the printed page and
Deep Reform in the 21st-Century ChurchThe Catholic Church is on the threshold of a bold new era in its two-thousand year history. As the curtain comes down on the Church defined by the 16th-century Counter-Reformation, the curtain is rising on the Evangelical Catholicism of the third millennium: a way of being Catholic that comes from over a century of Catholic reform; a mission-centered renewal honed by the Second Vatican Council and
$12.79There is a renewed conversation about identity and mission in American Anglicanism today, based on the recognition that the church's context in the U.S. has dramatically changed. The legacies of establishment, benefactor approaches to mission, and the 'national church' ideal are no longer adequate for the challenges and opportunities facing the 21st century church. But if the Episcopal Church is
What It Is, Where It Is Going, and Why It MattersWhatever else one might say about Emergence Christianity, says Phyllis Tickle, one must agree it is shifting and re-configuring itself in such a prodigious way as to defy any final assessments or absolute pronouncements. Yet the insightful and well-read Tickle offers us a dispatch from the field to keep us informed of where Emergence Christianity now stands, where it may be going, and how it is
Inside the Essential Teachings and Controversies of the Church TodayThe Catholic Church may be the most controversial institution in the world. Whether the question is the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, the relationship of Catholicism to other religious communities, the meaning of freedom, the use and abuse of sex, the dignity of human life from conception until natural death, or the role of women, the Catholic Church has taken challenging positions that some find
The Bare Essentials of a Radical FaithAnabaptist Christians have been around for almost 500 years. But what does Anabaptism look like when not clothed in Mennonite or Amish traditions? Writing from Great Britain, Stuart Murray peels back the layers to reveal the core components of Anabaptismand what they mean for faith in his context and ours. Its a way of following Jesus that challenges, disturbs, and inspires us, summoning us to
Understanding Orthodox Christianity TodayAs Ecumenical Patriarch, Bartholomew is the symbol of unity for the self-governing national and ethnic Orthodox Christian churches throughout the world. He is well known for his commitment to protecting the environment, and for opening communications with other Christians as well as with Muslims and other religious groups. His efforts for raising environmental awareness globally have earned him
Unlocking the Teaching of Vatican IIAs the church marks the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, too few Catholics have an adequate grasp of what the council contributed to the life of the church. The problem is understandable. The Second Vatican Council produced, by far, more document pages than any other council. Consequently, any attempt to master its core teachings can be daunting. There is a danger
Strengthening the People of God - Seabury ClassicsAll of us are natural theologians, willing and able to think through questions of belief and relate the insights of theologians to our public and personal lives. In this clear and engaging introduction, Thompsett gives us the tools to think theologically by grounding us in the history, theology, spirituality, and biblical foundations of Anglican belief, particularly that of the Episcopal church.

Jets' Fitzpatrick Saves Worst for Last
By Glenn Naughton In a season marred by poor decisions, it appears New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick saved his biggest head-scratcher for last. It's time. It's time for…
"The biggest thing in this game, to last…is to have belief in yourself," Fitzpatrick said. "Because when the owner stops believing in you and the GM stops believing in you and the coaches stop believing in you, sometimes all you have is yourself. That's kind of something I've dealt with before and something I'm dealing with now."

Goodbye, IDX
IDX. Internet Data Exchange. For those not actively involved in real estate, that means (pretty much) "showing homes for sale on a broker website." Now, I recommend searching for homes in Charlottesville at the Nest Realty site. I could be convinced to keep the search here on this blog if enough folks ask. Years ago, having a "search for homes" feature on a site was a differentiator. I found what I believed (and still believe) to be the best out there, Diverse Solutions, and installed it here. That was in November 2008. A lot's changed … [Read more...]
