Vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsions have been widely used as binders for, inter alia, paints, adhesives, and as binders for nonwoven and woven goods. The vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsions used for nonwoven goods generally contain a crosslinkable monomer, the crosslinking function being exercised after the emulsion is applied to a loosely assembled web of fibers. The crosslinking function serves to improve wet strength, dry strength, and solvent resistance in the goods.
Representative patents relating to vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsions and their use in various applications include:
U.S. Pat. No. 3,380,851 discloses a process for producing nonwoven fabrics by bonding together a loosely assembled web of fibers with the binder comprising an interpolymer of vinyl acetate-ethylene-N-methylol acrylamide where the interpolymer contains from 5 to 40% by weight ethylene and from 0.5 to 10% N-methlylol acrylamide by weight of the vinyl acetate. The emulsion is prepared by first forming a polymerization recipe of vinyl acetate, water, nonionic surfactant, reducing agent and, optionally, hydroxyethyl cellulose. The polymerization recipe is heated to a temperature of 50° C. although broadly 0° to 80° C. and pressurized with ethylene to an operating pressure ranging from about 10 to 100 atmospheres with sufficient time being permitted for the ethylene to saturate the vinyl acetate. At that time the recipe is initiated by addition of oxidizing agent (catalyst) and polymerization effected until the vinyl acetate concentration falls below about 1% generally 0.5% by weight of the emulsion. N-methylol acrylamide is added incrementally to the reactor during polymerization, and it generally takes approximately 4-5 hours for such addition.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,498,875 discloses a process for producing bonded nonwoven fabrics in a manner similar to the '851 patent except that the interpolymer comprises vinyl acetate, ethylene and a crosslinkable monomer of glycidyl acrylate. The polymerization process is essentially the same as the '851 patent wherein the vinyl acetate and ethylene are initially charged to the reactor and the glycidyl acrylate added incrementally during the polymerization. Normally such addition is completed in about 2 hours or within 40 to 50% of the totally polymerization time.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,137,589 discloses a process for producing bonded fiber fleeces by using a binder consisting of a thermoplastic polyvinyl compound incorporating a crosslinkable monomer. The particular monomer used for effecting the crosslinking function is an N-methylol amide of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid or maleic acid. By and large the copolymers are acrylic type copolymers e.g. a mixture of butyl and methylmethacrylate and N-methylol acrylamide.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,081,197 discloses a process for producing nonwoven fabrics bonded with an interpolymer of vinyl acetate, 0.3 to 12% crosslinkable monomer, e.g., N-methylol acrylamide, glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate or allyl glycidyl ether and an internal plasticizer of vinyl pelargonate or polyethylene glycol methacrylate and so forth. It is reported that the nonwoven fabrics have good wet strength and dry strength as well as water absorbency.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,708,388 discloses vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer latexes having particular adaptability for lamination. The vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsion optionally incorporates a crosslinking monomer of the post reactive type and these include glycidyl vinyl ether, glycidyl methacrylate, N-methylol acrylamide. The process set forth in '388 patent is essentially the same as that in the '851 reference.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,844,990 relates to a paint composition comprising a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer latex having a cellulosic thickener. The vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer latex contains from about 5 to 40% ethylene and is prepared in essentially the same manner in the '851 vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsions. The basic difference is that no crosslinkable monomer is employed.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,770,680 discloses a process for producing a grit free aqueous polymer emulsion particularly suited as a base for wood adhesive, the polymer comprising reaction product of vinyl acetate, N-methylol acrylamide and acrylic acid.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,404,113 discloses a process for producing an aqueous paint composition comprising a vinyl acetate-ethylene-triallyl cyanurate polymer latex where the ethylene concentration is from 5 to 40% and the triallyl cyanurate is incorporated in an amount from about 0.5-10%. The triallyl cyanurate can be added incrementally or added to the batch prior to initiation. Again, the polymerization procedure is much like that procedure described in the '851 patent.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,288,740 discloses a process for producing aqueous emulsions containing interpolymer having a crosslinkable function e.g. an N-methylol function. Generally the copolymers comprise a lower alkyl ester of acrylic or methacrylic acid in combination with N-methylol acrylamide or the ethers of N-methylol acrylamide.
British Pat. No. 991,550 discloses a process for producing emulsions of vinyl acetate and ethylene. A polymerization is carried out at a temperature of from about 50° to 70° C. at pressures from 10 to 100 atmospheres generally 20 to 60 atmospheres. The process for preparing emulsions differs generally from that of the '851 patent in that the vinyl acetate is added continuously during the reation period rather than being added initially to the recipe. The delayed addition of vinyl acetate permits greater incorporation of ethylene into the polymer.
The inventors are also aware of a process to produce vinyl acetate-ethylene adhesive emulsions having a Tg of about 15°-19° C. One initiates polymerization of a recipe of vinyl acetate, ethylene, water, stabilizer and reducing agent at a temperature of 25° C. and a pressure below the operating pressure. The heat of reaction is utilized to achieve the operating temperature and operating pressure.
This invention relates to an improvement in a process for producing vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsions particularly adapted for the preparation of nonwoven goods and to nonwoven goods having an improved rate of water absorption. Such goods are made by incorporating vinyl acetate-ethylene-crosslinkable monomer emulsions prepared by the improved process into a loosely assembled web of fibers in a conventional manner. The copolymer is produced by a process for producing an aqueous emulsion suitably adapted for producing non-woven goods said emulsion containing a vinyl acetate-ethylene-crosslinkable monomer copolymer wherein said copolymer contains from about 60-96% by weight of vinyl acetate. In the basic process the copolymer is produced by forming an aqueous suspension of vinyl acetate, ethylene, and stabilizer, initiating the polymerization of the reaction mixture by the addition of catalyst, and then adding crosslinkable monomer during the polymerization to provide from about 0.5-10% crosslinkable by weight of the copolymer. The improvement for enhancing the properties of said emulsion comprises:
pressurizing the reactor with ethylene to an initial ethylene equilibrium pressure of from about 100 to 1,000 psig;
initiating the reaction mixture by the addition of catalyst at a temperature from about 10°-35° C. and bringing the reaction mixture to a reaction temperature of from 45°-85° C. and operating pressure within a period of not more than 2 hours and the reaction temperature exceeds the initiation temperature by at least 20° C.;
adding the crosslinkable monomer at a substantially uniform rate such that the major portion of monomer has been added by the time the vinyl acetate content in the emulsion has been reduced to a level of from 3-25% by weight of the emulsion;
continuing polymerization of the reaction mixture until the vinyl acetate content in said emulsion is reduced below about 1% by weight.
There are several advantages associated with this process for producing emulsions adapted for nonwoven goods. These are:
First, one achieves a highly energy efficient process by utilizing the heat of reaction to bring the reaction mixture to the reaction temperature and operating pressure;
Second, one achieves a shortened reaction time by virtue of the fact that polymerization is carried out under conditions normally allocated to heat-up and pressurization. The prior art techniques of requiring heat-up to operating temperatures of from 50° to 70° C. prior to initiating require a time delay for these features.
Third, and one of the most significant advantages of the process, is that the particular vinyl acetate-ethylene-crosslinkable monomer containing copolymer has outstanding rates of water absorption. This property makes it highly attractive for preparing nonwoven goods for specific applications, e.g., paper towels.
Several steps are important in the process for forming aqueous emulsions containing vinyl acetate-ethylene-crosslinkable monomer containing copolymer which are suitable for obtaining the advantages described above. The first step, as with most of the other vinyl acetate-ethylene aqueous emulsion processes, lies in the formation of an aqueous emulsion of vinyl acetate and other components used in the reaction mixture. In this regard, the water is first mixed with a stabilizer, e.g. from about 0.5-5% protective colloid or surfactant, or both, by weight of the copolymer. Then the reducing agent of the redox catalyst system and other components e.g. buffers are added as needed to form a premix. The premix is then charged to the reactor and the vinyl acetate added. Optionally, the vinyl acetate can be added to the premix. Substantially all, at least 75% by weight, and preferably 100% of the vinyl acetate is added prior to initiation.
Reducing agents, stabilizers, buffers and catalysts used in the practice of this invention are conventional and used in conventional amounts. Examples of reducing agents include the sulfoxylates, bisulfites, and ferrous salts. Specific examples include sodium and zinc formaldehyde sulfoxylate. Catalysts include hydrogen peroxide and benzoyl peroxide. Stabilizing agents include nonionic emulsifying agents such a polyoxyethylene condensates, e.g. polyoxyethylene aliphatic ethers and polyoxyethylene esters of higher fatty acids. Specific examples include polyoxyethylene nonyl phenyl ether and polyoxyethylene laurate; and polyoxyethyleneamides such as N-polyoxyethylenelauramide. The stabilizers are often used in combination with a protective colloid, e.g. hydroxyethyl cellulose or a partially acetylated polyvinyl alcohol. Polyvinyl alcohol protective colloids having a hydrolysis value of from about 80 to 94 and preferably from about 87 to 89% by weight are generally used. Other examples of stabilizers, emulsifying agents, buffers, amounts and methods for forming the emulsion are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,380,851 and are incorporated by reference.
After the stabilizer, reducing agent, etc. is dissolved in the mixture of water and vinyl acetate, the premix then can be charged to the reactor (unless made up in the reactor itself). Thereafter, the reactor is initially pressurized with ethylene to provide a minimum ethylene equilibrium pressure of from about 100-1,000 psig. This pressure may be generally less than the operating pressure. Agitation is effected during pressurization and typically ethylene is introduced by subsurface means through spargers to insure that ethylene is rapidly transferred to the vinyl acetate.
Prior to initiation the reaction mixture is adjusted to a temperature of from about 10°-35° C., preferably 15°-30° C. Pressurization of the reaction mixture with ethylene may be prior to or subsequent to this adjustment step. Typically, for commercial reactions, this will be from 400-750 psig. After the reaction mixture is brought to an initial temperature, and the ethylene is present in the vinyl acetate, polymerization of the reaction mixture is commenced by the addition of either the oxidizing or reducing component of the catalyst. Low Tg, e.g. -20° to +5° C. (Tg=glass transition temperature) copolymers can be prepared by adding some ethylene during the reaction or toward the end of the reaction. The amount of ethylene required at the end will depend upon how much ethylene is added in the initial charge and the free space in the reactor.
A crosslinkable monomer is used in preparing the emulsion in an amount to provide from about 0.5 to about 10% by weight, typically from about 2-5% by weight in the copolymer. These crosslinkable monomers are the post-reactive type, i.e., they will cross link upon the application of heat or addition of appropriate catalyst or reactive component to form a thermoset resin. Examples of crosslinkable monomers suited for practicing this invention are the N-methylol amides e.g. N-methylol acrylamide and N-methylol methacrylamide and their lower alkyl (C1-6) ethers. In addition crosslinkable monomers such as N-methylol allyl carbamate and lower alkyl (C1-6) ethers thereof are suited for practicing the invention. In addition crosslinkable functionality can be imparted by the addition of acids e.g. acrylic and methacrylic acid, acrylamide, unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, e.g. crotonic acid, maleic acid, itaconic acid; and glycidyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate.
Most of the crosslinkable monomers suited for producing vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsions particularly adapted for nonwoven goods have a polymerization reactivity greater than vinyl acetate. Such monomers are added at a uniform rate and incrementally during the polymerization to obtain a uniform copolymer. Typically, the addition of the crosslinkable monomer is carried out so that a major portion, e.g. greater than 75%, and preferably all of the monomer is added by the time the vinyl acetate content in the emulsion is reduced to a level from about 3-25%, and preferably 3-8% by weight of the emulsion.
On initiation, the temperature of the reaction mixture begins to rise and on continued addition of catalyst the temperature, and sometimes the pressure, will increase rapidly. Catalyst addition is adjusted to reach a reaction temperature of from about 45° to 85° C., typically 50°-55° C. within about 2 hours, and preferably within 1 hour, and then it is added at a rate to maintain such temperature. The reaction temperature is set to be at least 20° C. above the initiation temperature, and preferably at least 25° C. The reactor is initially pressurized to a preselected initial pressure that will provide a desirable operating pressure, e.g., of from 300-1,500 psig at the reaction temperature. Additional ethylene may be added during the polymerization to produce a copolymer having from about 60 to 96% vinyl acetate. Typically this level of vinyl acetate will translate into a copolymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from about -30° to 20° C.
The vinyl acetate-ethylene-crosslinkable monomer system described are suitably used to prepare nonwoven fabrics by a variety of methods known to the art which, in general, involve impregnation of a loosely assembled mass of fibers with the emulsion followed by moderate heating to dry the mass and effect crosslinking of the binder to achieve a thermoset system. Depending upon the crosslinkable monomer used in the vinyl acetate system a catalyst can be incorporated into the emulsion prior to its application to the loosely assembled mass of fibers or applied subsequent thereto and cured by conventional technique. Acid catalysts such as mineral acids, e.g. hydrochloric aid or organic acids and acid salts such as ammonium chloride are suitably used for effecting cure of an N-methylol containing system, i.e. N-methylol acrylamide or its ethers.
The starting layer or mass can be formed by any one of the conventional techniques for depositing or arranging fibers in a web or layer. These techniques include carding, garnetting, air laying and the like. Individual webs or thin layers prepared by one or more of these techniques can be laminated to provide a thicker layer. Specific examples of nonwoven goods prepared by applying the emulsions of this invention to the webs or laminated layers include paper towels, tissues, sanitary napkins, filter cloths, wrappings for food products, bandages, surgical dressings, etc.
The copolymers of vinyl acetate-ethylene crosslinkable monomers of this invention have excellent water absorption rates, thus making them well suited for use in producing nonwoven goods.
The following examples are provided to illustrate the preferred embodiment of the invention are not intended to restrict the scope thereof.
A series of polymerization runs were made for preparing a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer system in a 15 gallon stirred, stainless steel autoclave, the agitation system involving 2 turbine blades being rotated at 180-200 rpm. Then a premix, either recipe 1 or 2 as described, consisting of vinyl acetate (substantially all is changed, i.e. greater than 80%), water, surfactant and reducing agent, consisting of a ferrous ion in the form of ferrous ammonium sulfate (1% solution), was charged to the reactor. After charging the recipe to the reactor, the reactor was purged with nitrogen and ethylene. Ethylene was then charged to the reactor via subsurface feed and the reactor pressurized to a preselected initial pressure, i.e. either 460 or 700 psig. Once the ethylene was incorporated into the premix polymerization was initiated by addition of oxidizing agent.
In the Tables below essentially two recipes were used. Recipe 1 was used in producing -17° C. Tg product and generally consisted of:
______________________________________ RECIPE 1______________________________________Vinyl acetate 40 poundsAlipal CO-433 (30%)solution 1,616 grams variable 2-3%Igepal CO-430 75.7 gramsFerrous ion 1 gramDistilled water 30 pounds______________________________________
Recipe 2 was used to produce 0° C. Tg product, and generally consisted of:
______________________________________RECIPE 2______________________________________Vinyl acetate 50 poundsAlipal CO-433 (30%)solution surfactant 4.3 pounds-variable 2-4%Igepal CO-430surfactant 250 gramsFerrous ion 1.0 gramsDistilled water 31 pounds______________________________________
In carrying out the polymerization reaction times were calculated to be complete within about 3 hours. Assuming that the initial vinyl acetate monomer concentration in the reactor prior to initiation was about 60%, the vinyl acetate content at the end of 1 hour should be approximately 40%, 20% at the end of second hour and less than 1% at the end of third hour. Based on this conversion rate of vinyl acetate the crosslinkable monomer was added to the reaction mixture at a rate such that all of the monomer would be added to the reactor by the time the unreacted vinyl acetate monomer content in the emulsion was from 3 to 8% by weight. The monomer in Runs 1 to 16 were in the 3 to 8% vinyl acetate content range. Runs 17 and 18 were about 20% vinyl acetate content. This level is reached in about 21/2 hours thus the crosslinkable monomer was added at a uniform rate (±50%), preferably 120% for 21/2 hours. Polymerization was carried out using an activator solution consisting of zinc formaldehyde sulfoxylate (about 7% by weight) and a catalyst system consisting of a peroxide, e.g., t-butyl hydroperoxide or 2% hydrogen peroxide. The grams hydrogen peroxide added per reaction was about 19 to 22 grams for recipes one and two and 26 to 30 grams of zinc formaldehyde sulfoxylate (7.1% solution).
Table 1 below provides data with respect to several vinyl acetate-ethylene emulsions run which were designed to compare favorably to commercially available vinyl acetate-ethylene-N-methylol acrylamide (control) emulsions having Tg's of 0±3 and -16°±2° C., respectively. The process utilized in preparing the commercial emulsions comprises initiating polymerization after the mixture of ethylene and premix had been preheated to the reaction temperature, i.e., 50° C. That temperature was maintained and crosslinkable monomer added on a continuous basis. Initial ethylene pressures are given and runs 1-3A relate to a control emulsion having a Tg of -17° to -20° C. and runs 5-16 relate to a control type emulsion having a Tg of 0°±3° C.

In evaluating the effectiveness of the copolymer in terms of producing non-woven goods, No. 4 Whatman chromotography paper was impregnated with the emulsion at various "add on" levels, i.e., the weight of copolymer vs. the weight of the paper and then evaluated in conventional manner. The tensile strength under dry, wet (water) and perchlor conditions were measured with an Instron testing machine. Wet and perchlor testing is carried out by immersing the paper having cured copolymer thereon into water and perchloroethylene, respectively, for a period of about 1 minute and then removing. Tensile strengths are measured in the cross machine direction (CMD) at a chart speed of 0.5 inches per minute. The wicking time and sinking time are measured by ASTM test D-1117 and corresponds to a rate of absorption. Table II shows these results.

From the above tables it can be seen that tensile strength of the non-woven goods prepared using the emulsions of this invention compare favorably with those of similar prior art commercial emulsions. The big difference is noted in the rate of absorption of the non-woven goods. There is a clear difference between the commercial emulsions and the emulsions of this invention. Wicking time for the emulsions of this invention which are comparable to the control emulsions namely 1-3A in time for the -17° C. Tg material is from about 2 minutes to about 5 minutes whereas the average for the commercial emulsion is approximately 14 minutes. When comparing runs 4-16 to the 0° C. Tg control wicking times of from about 10 to 60 seconds were recorded whereas wicking times of 2 minutes to about 31/2 minutes were recorded for the control. These results clearly show that copolymers of this invention, regardless of the add-on quantity, resulted in significantly shorter wicking times than the commercially available vinyl acetate-ethylene-N-methylol acrylamide emulsions. Further, the runs showed that wicking time is substantially independent of the add-on of copolymer incorporated into the non-woven good or the type of monomer.
Triton X-301 is the sodium salt of alkylaryl polyether sulfate; Igepal 430 which is Igepal, 630 which is a acetylphenoxypoly(ethlenoxy) ethanol, Alipal 433 is a sodium salt of sulfated nonyl phenoxy poly(ethyleneoxy) ethanol.

There are plenty of Lower East Side men's that stock various plaids and tweeds—very few that specialize in high-end and up-and-coming Belgian designs. Nonetheless, when Project No. 8, the understated but popular Chinatown boutique began to feel crowded, Brian Janusiak and Elizabeth Beer, the designer partners that opened the shop's doors, decided to expand into untested waters. The store is one of several projects the duo has undertaken, from designer Obama buttons to book printing, to their own clothing line. The two thought they could take their understated style and convert it into a men's store that wasn't laden with brandy bottles and taxidermy.
Down the street, on the corner of Orchard and Hester, they opened 8b, Janusiak and Beer opened a bright, airy space geared towards guys. Differing from the tweed-friendly, safari-and-fireside vibes of traditional men's stores, they wanted to create something accessible. Already stocked with favorites like Antwerp-native Stephan Schneider, No. 8b will also be home to the New York-debut of a couple of emerging labels, like Tsurukichi's light Japanese creations or artist-designer Tom Scott's debut men's collection.
Current Issue
June 2017
What sets 8b apart from its better-established counterparts is a partnership with German furniture label E15. "As we were signing the lease for the new store, they approached us about carrying our furniture. It seemed a natural fit," explains Beer. Though furniture is Janusiak's expertise, and he eagerly shows off the back, a consultation space for customers to browse E15's entire catalogue. "It's a basic, clean and minimal line," Janusiak gushes. "Just so well made and simple."The furniture on display is classic, mostly made of wood but featuring metal lamps and shelves, or modular pressed-wood bookcases.
The entire store has an open feel, even though its in an LES-sized space. Wooden E15 furniture is laid with tiny flasks or jump-drives made from fox tails. The aesthetic came from working with Brooklyn-based RSVP Studio's principal, Brian Ripel, who also designed their first store.
The store already has an impressing assortment of wares, including an amazing pair of Martin Margiela limited edition loafers with nails in the soles ("There were only 100 made, and we have number 1," says Janusiak. "Kind of on accident!" Beer corrects). For those who can't afford to collect Margiela, the duo's house line, Various Projects, has soft button-up shirts that run the gamut. The store itself feels more casual than its New York predecessors, with knits hanging from racks or colorful loafers lining the wall. And it's not a boys club.

Heading into Europe, I initially planned on getting a 3-month Eurail Global Pass. Three months of unlimited travel across so many international borders was a dream come true… especially for an American! However, upon further research, I decided against the pass, and here's why: 1. There were limitations to Eurail's "unlimited travel." The Eurail Global Pass covers 28 … [Read more...]
Two Days in Barcelona
Renowned for incredible architecture, delicious food, and beautiful beaches, Barcelona was probably the main city I was most excited to see in Europe. Only problem? I'd nearly used up my 90-day Schengen visa on the rest of Europe and only had a few days! This time I had a hard deadline, and that was one I really couldn't push back. But as it turned out, having limited time only … [Read more...]

It's a very good game
I love this collection, all 3 games on one disk, gameplay is a mix of Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed, with a little Last of Us thrown in (It IS Naughty Dog after all), but the environments were rich, good gameplay, wonderful characters with a lot of humor. You can really see the evolution of gameplay mechanics, even the jump from 1 to 2 is greatly smoothed out. If you like any of the aforementioned games, I would highly recommend this and A Thief's End. The only sad part is that Thief's End is the last one.
You should definitely get this game to prepare yourself for another great game that is Uncharted 4.
Sony always excels at doing this kind of compilations.
Great graphics, superior action, great story. This is the best Uncharted Game to-date, period.
I received the game fastly in France too. No problem with the shipping. It's a very good game, a must to have.

Wireless sensor networks are increasingly being used in environmental monitoring applications. Collecting raw data from these networks can lead to excessive energy consumption. This is especially true when the application requires specialized sensors that have very high energy consumption, e.g. hydrological sensors for monitoring marine environments. We describe an adaptive sensor sampling scheme where nodes change their sampling frequencies autonomously based on the variability of the measured parameters. The sampling scheme also meets the user's sensing coverage requirements by using information provided by the underlying MAC protocol. This allows the scheme to automatically adapt to topology changes. Our results based on real and synthetic data sets, indicate a reduction in sensor sampling by up to 93%, reduction in message transmissions by up to 99% and overall energy savings of up to 87%. We also show that generally more than 90% of the collected readings fall within the user-defined error threshold.

Studies suggest people who have suffered severe trauma to the frontal lobe of their brains have trouble projecting into the future and making plans. These unfortunate folks are "trapped forever in a perpetual now, a world without end, a time without later."*
If you were to go out with a person with a compromised anterior lobe, you shouldn't be surprised when he or she neglects to phone you after a great date. Such is the case with Matt, the moody chef with whom I enjoyed two weeks of soul-mending emotional entanglement and erotic bliss, then didn't hear from for…a year.
Our last date, on a Wednesday in February '08, ended with him feeling euphoric about our new love affair, and begging me to join him on a hike the following weekend. When I didn't hear from Matt the next Friday, I assumed our hike would be postponed for Saturday. On Monday, I gave him the benefit of the doubt, then on Thursday waited patiently for a phone call and explanation.
But by Christmas I was starting to worry.
In truth, after ten days and a couple unreturned phone calls, I was certain Matt and me were kaput. But recently, a gal pal and I ran into him, prompting my friend to ask what had happened with Mr. Moody Chef. Thus, I was thrust back into that unanswerable why.
Why did Matt disappear?
My gal pal drew the usual conclusion – he had commitment issues and got scared. But to me the answer was much simpler: Matt was lobotomized as a child. Just a hunch, but my gut says he's missing his frontal lobe.
Since the start of the Man Panel – a monthly series started by yours truly, where women ask men everything they want to know about relationships – the recurring question has been "why didn't he call?" You could be talking about movies, tuna fish, the history of the glockenspiel, but all single women want to know is, "why do men withdraw?"
Last November, the panel of men offered clues:
· He liked you but his feelings changed
· He didn't like you, or at least, not enough
· He liked you but then met someone he liked better
· He's not over an ex
· He's crazy about you but isn't ready for a relationship
Furthermore, he didn't call to tell you because, a) he thought you'd "go psycho," b) he's a wuss, or c) he didn't want to hurt you. If he doesn't tell you, y'see, he isn't hurting you.
Men pursue women they want. They don't pursue women they don't want. No reason to ask the advice of your friends, scour self-help books or send the guy's last text message to the FBI for decoding. It would be lovely of him to provide closure, but sometimes you just won't know what went wrong. Doesn't matter. Turn the page. Ouch.
As an old hat, I stay relatively calm while waiting for "the call." Sure, if a call doesn't come, I cry, I drink, I consider shaving my head and becoming a nun. But afterward, this ol' gal moves on.
Thankfully, through scientific research, I now have more information. Instead of thinking a guy stopped calling because he lost interest, I'm just going to assume he's suffering from severe head trauma. In fact, before I give any guy my number again, I'm gonna ask, "how's your frontal lobe?", and if he says, "cool," then he has no excuse for not calling.
*Stumbling On Happiness, Daniel Gilbert

Track and Field: Hayes Uses Season-Best Time to Secure Spot in Finals
April 29, 2011
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Junior Keith Hayes led the way for the University of Kentucky track and field team, qualifying for the finals of the 110-meter hurdles Friday at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. Hayes will compete for the 110m hurdles title at 3:50 p.m. ET in front of an expected capacity crowd of more than 10,000 patrons at Drake Stadium.
Hayes finished fifth in the 110m hurdles with a time of 14.38, just surpassing his season-best time of 14.39, set at the Kentuckiana Border Battle in Lousiville, Ky. The senior battled a slight head wind during the race, the highest of any other competitor in the top five, leaving room for a much improved time and finish in the finals.
The women's 4x400m relay that consists of Jenna Martin, Julie Nunn, Jazmyn Shorter and Shiara Robinson, claimed UK's next-best performance of the day with a ninth-place finish. The foursome ran a season-best time of 3:40.52, narrowly eclipsing their mark of 3:40.80 ran at the Florida Relays on April 2. The Wildcats finished one spot out of the finals, with the top-eight finishers moving on to Saturday's competition.
Also with a season-best performance, junior Terri-Ann Grant finished tied for 15th in the women's high jump. Grant used a jump of 1.70m/5-07.00 to secure her finish, which stood an inch taller than her previous season high of 1.68m/5-06.00.
Kentucky will have five athletes in action on the final day of the 102nd running of the Drake Relays:
Women's Long Jump – Precious Nwokey
Men's Triple Jump – Keenan Hall, Steve Crouse, David Banks
Men's 110m Hurdles Final – Keith Hayes
Both the Drake Relays and Payton Jordan Invitational can be seen live on Flotrack.com.

Terran v1.0.20160330.23
Heathen's Terran is 1 month old and player feedback has lead to some great improvements - a new ITS UI layout, new Ship Editor Tools and features and an improved combat HUD, not to mention the slew of bug fixes.
Available: April 21 2016 on Beta & Default
Engine Version: Unity 3D 5.3.4f1
- Most fields have tooltips, hover your mouse over a field 1.25 seconds.
Configurable values for tooltip delay are on the list ;)
- You can scroll panels by clicking and dragging them e.g. similar to touch controls.
- Your ship will face the direction of the camera by default … tap V or the middle mouse button to disable this.
You can also use WASD for turning and pitch as well as Q and E for left right and R and F for up and down.
The best pilots make use of all of the above.
Try counter turning (turn in the opposite direction) when making a hard turn for faster breaking as your ship lines up.
- Full speed is not the only speed. Turrets must track their targets and at closer ranges high speed movement can make this difficult, slow down when attacking near targets for more accurate shots.
- You can set your launch option to "-show-screen-selector" (without the quotes) to force the launcher to display.
The launcher lets you set the resolution and window mode and if applicable which monitor it will render to.
This build introduces a number of UI changes in particular with regards to the Ship Editor and its related functions.
Changes and Additions
Changes and Additions
- A new transform tool has been introduced to simplify and speed up part positioning and rotation.
- The 'Components' menu has been re-worked as a tab page more in-line with other UI elements.
- The new Parts tab organizes your parts into Hull, Weapon and Misc categories and further groups each list by relevant factors such as Class.
- The new Templates tab allows you to quickly view your saved design templates as well as standard templates. The Template tab group has also adopted the Save template button formerly located in the left hand panel.
- Placeholders have been put in place for upcoming features - these should be clearly marked with 'Coming Soon' where applicable.
- A new Beam type weapon has been added and can be found under the M Mount group in the Weapons tab of the Parts group.
- Ship part attributes and category calculations have been adjusted and re-balanced to produce more predictable results as well as to resolve a number of bugs such as over powered torque, excessive mount point counts and over powered shield recharge rates.
More details will be revealed regarding the calculations as the system matures. You will find this detailed on the the Gameplay section of the You Are Terran web page along with other important aspects of Terran as they are finalized.
Known Issues
- Linux 32-bit builds are presenting memory use issues - this build target is not an advertised feature of the game and may be postponed if there is insufficient game demand for the feature. This will not adversely impact the Linux 64-bit build target cycle.
- Linux 64 bit builds are presenting a graphics device initialization issue as noted in the previous patch. Heathen has added additional Linux resources to the team's available resource pool to speed resolution of this issue.
- Loading hang occurs on some machines - some users will experience a temporary hang as the game loads, this is most common on the first run since reboot or after updating from a patch. The cause of the issue is the load sequence of the asset bundles and will be addressed in later patches.
- Recent UI changes have affected the layout for VR presentation modes - some headsets may clip the combat HUD edges (horizontally). As UI changes are finalized the system responsible for UI adjustments for the VR presentation mode will also be updated to correct these issues.

Americans are changing their minds about immigration policy.
The country is increasingly prioritizing heightened border security over greater access to citizenship for the country's millions of undocumented immigrants, according to a poll released on Wednesday by the Pew Research Center. Roughly a third of the U.S. population now believes securing the U.S.-Mexico border and enforcing immigration laws should be the priority for the country's immigration policy, while only 23 percent think easing the path to citizenship for those residing in the country illegally should be the main focus.
Less than a year ago, support for each was neck and neck, at 25 percent.
This shift comes as Obama mulls taking executive action to delay the deportation of the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States. This possibility has alarmed Democratic candidates battling in closely contested mid-term races across the country where the subject of immigration reform remains divisive.
The Obama administration originally promised the president would push through immigration reform by the end of the summer, but the timetable now seems uncertain. There's reportedly a chance the president will wait a bit longer, which could very well mean until after the mid-term elections.


text: Do I Need a Will? Counsel from a Sarasota Probate Attorney Wills are an extremely practical and foundational aspect of estate planning. By creating one, you can determine the future of your assets, even after you are gone. Unfortunately, many people miss out on valuable benefits because they feel the value of their estate doesn't warrant a will. At The Edwards Law Firm, PL, we know that a will is advantageous regardless of your circumstances and have the experience to help you prepare yours with minimal complications. Call us today to speak with our Sarasota probate lawyer! Five Reasons Why You Need a Will The future is full of unknowns and preparing a will is one way to protect yourself against much of life's uncertainties. Here are five ways a will is imperative for you and your family: You decide who gets what. Family disputes are quite common after a loved one's passing, particularly when money and assets are involved. Your will can clearly specify which assets go to each individual, thus minimizing any potential conflicts. You can protect your minor children. Should the need arise, it is important to have a plan in place for your minor children. A will allows you to appoint a specific individual to raise your children if you can no longer do so. You can minimize estate taxes. Taxes are no doubt the bane of everyone's existence but you can ease the sting by preparing a will and deciding how everything will be distributed. You can change your mind. The beauty of a will is that while you're alive, nothing is set in stone. If you ever feel differently about any aspect of your will, you have the freedom to change it. You protect your family from legal complications. After you pass, dealing with legal challenges is the last thing your family wants to deal with. A will can simplify their responsibilities when you're gone. Whether you're nearing your golden years or are just approaching the middle of your life, a will isn't something you should put off. Our probate attorneys would be honored to apply our expertise to your circumstances and guide you toward a favorable resolution. Schedule your consultation in Sarasota, FL today!

Kicking off the first day of April with a new, spring-friendly leather jacket from IRO. I love the brand's chic designs and well-tailored construction. Their leather jackets are always buttery soft and perfectly fitted for a woman's body, and I've always coveted them. I finally took the plunge and decided on this pale gray/taupe-ish moto jacket. As soon as I tried it on at Saks, I fell in love. I'm a firm believer in investing in higher-end fabrics and construction when it comes to jackets and blazers, because the fit is so important in pulling an outfit together. I found that this jacket style runs small, and I went with a 36. The cropped fit works for my shortness, and for this outfit I paired it with a neutral knit tee and distressed skinnies for that casual yet cool "downtown" vibe. This jacket is going to be a staple for the transitional weather over the next few weeks, and will be on heavy rotation to elevate most of my daily looks!

"I first used Giftbasketsoverseas.com months ago. I placed an order from USA going to Russia. I placed on a Saturday night and it was delivered to my friend on Sunday. I was amazed how quick it was. I just placed my 2nd order on May 3rd another Saturday night and again it was delivered the next day. My friend loved it. Her Mom is going in the hospital for surgery so I just wanted to give them some joy. They forgot to put my card with the message with gift. It really was not a problem but they really stepped up and the next day brought my friend a complimentary box of chocolates. That was a great gesture and I will be using gift baskets solely and will recommend to anyone that will be shipping abroad."

Scouting In Burlington
Enjoying A Moment At Camp (Bill Kowalchyk)
Burlington Area Scouts came into existence in 1958 as "Burlington District" with amalgamation of several groups from Burlington and surrounding area. There are 13 active groups within the Area, providing Scouting to approximately 800 members. The Area stretches outside the city limits of Burlington and encompasses the additional communities of Waterdown, Kilbride, and Carlisle.
The sponsor/partners within the Area are: 6 United Churches, 4 parent/community groups, 1 Anglican Church, 1 Presbyterian Church, and the Legion. All Scouts Canada groups are now co-ed.
Scouting in Burlington, Carlisle, and Waterdown work together under the direction of one Area Commissioner (AC). Each of the groups within this structure recommend for appointment to the Area Commissioner a person to serve as a Group Commissioner (GC). This individual is the direct program link to the AC. The AC creates a management team that will service the Groups through the Group Commissioner. The Group Commissioner is an integral part of the Area Commissioner's Team.
The Area Commissioner is Bill Kowalchyk and he can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Burlington Area History
Burlington Boy Scouts, 1912 (Burlington Historical Society)
Burlington Area Scouts traces its organization back to 1910 when the town's population was about 1,000. Sir Robert Baden-Powell had advanced the idea of Scouting in 1908 so Burlington was one of the first towns to take up the new idea. The first local Scoutmaster was Archie McGibbon, who remained in his position for more than a year, after which there was a succession of leaders including Hughes Cleaver and William Gilbert. The original enrolment of 25 boys was considered excellent for the small population of Burlington.
At first, some residents complained about the Scouts marching through the streets with bugles blaring and drums beating, but for the most part people favoured the new movement and merchants generously subscribed to their appeals, as they continue to do. It was the merchants of 1910 who bought the band instruments at a cost of several hundred dollars and stood beaming their approval in the doorways of their shops as the troop marched past in the dust of unpaved Brant Street. The meeting place those days was the basement of the former public library on Brant Street (the site of the present Civic Administration Building).
In 1912, His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, Governor-General of Canada, took the salute at the march past of thousands of Boy Scouts at the Ontario Jamboree held at Exhibition Park in Toronto. Burlington's Scouts proudly brought home first prize for the best marching and best-equipped troop.
When the First World War broke out, many former Scouts enlisted and a great many of them were either wounded or killed overseas.
About 1918, Rev. George W. Tebbs took over the troop. It was in the 1920s when Scoutmaster Tebbs and the local troop met Lord Baden-Powell in Burlington. The founder was motoring to Toronto and broke his trip for a short while when he saw the Scouts lined up at Gore Park on the waterfront.
For many years, Rev. Tebbs led the boys as they marched out of town, hauling the trek cart to some distant camping place. It wasn't until 1958 that the Scouts' combined group committees were able to buy the 90 acre camping grounds in North Burlington at Camp Manitou and in 1966 a $13,000 swimming pool was added.
At the outbreak of the Second World War, the organization faltered as enlistments took a heavy toll of the leaders.
At that time, Stanley Craze was appointed chairman of the group committee and began the work of reconstruction; by 1953, there were about 200 Cubs and Scouts in three troops and three packs with a waiting list.
1st Burlington Scouts on Parade, 1950 (Burlington Historical Society)
The Burlington Boy Scouts Local Association was formed in 1952 under president W.G. Gowing. The headquarters on Elizabeth St. was acquired from the town when it vacated the building as a town hall. Later, when the police and fire departments built new quarters, the entire premises were taken over by the Cubs and Scouts.
Trinity United Church (later Wellington Square United Church) needed extra space and, in 1959, they purchased the Scout Hall which was next door and renamed it Trinity Annex. Cubs and Scouts then began meeting in various schools and churches.
For many years, boys in the Strathcona district had their own Scout Hall on Belvenia Rd. constructed originally by area residents for community gatherings.
In 1966, a new district headquarters in Burlington was obtained at 450 John St. and a new group called the Venturers was formed for high school boys. District Commissioner Peter Bromley headed an organization of 250 leaders, 50 Cub packs, 25 Scout troops and 9 Rover crews for a total of about 1680 Burlington boys active in Scouting.
The 3 Sections Of Burlington Scouting, 1965 (Burlington District Scouts Archives)
When the Rotary Youth Centre was built on Guelph Line, Scout headquarters was relocated there. In 1996, there were 60 Venturers and 18 Rovers. The younger youth, 425 of them, enjoyed Beavers; there were 388 Cubs and 209 Scouts.

LONDON — Manchester City has been charged by the Football Association with breaching its anti-doping procedures, the governing body said Wednesday.
The FA said the issue referred to rules concerning "club whereabouts", but no other information was given.
Under FA rules, English clubs are required to provide the correct details of training sessions, as well as player addresses, so that they are available for drug testing at all times.
The BBC reported that information was not updated following a change to training routines.
"Manchester City have been charged in relation to the FA's rules on anti-doping," an FA statement read.
"It is alleged the club failed to ensure that their 'Club Whereabouts' information was accurate.
"City have until 19 January 2017 to respond to the charge."
City is currently fourth in the Premier League, seven points behind leader Chelsea, and takes on Everton at Goodison Park Sunday.
Pep Guardiola's side won 5-0 at West Ham in the FA Cup third round Friday.

Detoxification Program
After a year of pain in my right foot due to continued swelling, fungus and parasitic infections and a constant rash and itching, nothing seem to work even while receiving conventional medical treatment of antibiotic pills almost all the time nothing seem to work to get rid of this problem. I finally found my angel of healing at Lotus Heart and throught the "Ionic Foot Detox Spa".
I received 10 foot detox sessions and after the 3rd session there was such a great improvement I could finally start to wear sandals again. After the last session my foot was back to normal and I also received many other health beneits from this experience. This detoxification is for everyone to enjoy a health life.
Thanks Alice
Thank you so much for the wonderful massage yesterday. Tyler sleep well and
his fussiness/gas has gone away. Also, his appetite has returned to normal.
So the massage worked!
We hope to see you again soon.

*In calendar years I am 73 years old. Approximately 11 years ago I started going to Lotus Heart Holistic Center to get a 2.5-hour full body massage every two weeks.
My massage therapist, Della Danley, and I have continued this co-creative experience to the present time.
At the beginning Della and I agreed that massage was much more than the laying on of hands on the physical body. In my knowingness, not only is the physical body
benefited, but the mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies receive great benefit as well.
The massage I receive every two weeks is my gift to my physical body. Intuitively, Della is aware of aches (energy blockages) in certain areas of my body and begins
her massage techniques.
I communicate with my body on a daily basis and my body is always happy when massage day arrives, as am I

*I am so grateful for the healing I received from Lotus Heart. A car accident left me unable to walk comfortably or hold and carry my 7 month old little girl. After many
MRI\'s and a lot of pain I was told I needed surgery. I surrounded my self with an amazing group of people including Lotus Heart to help recover without surgery.
The healing I received was amazing. Each week brought new challenges and different pain. They knew intuitively where to go and what to do.
They helped me regain my life back. I am forever grateful for their wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and amazing talent. I plan on making a visit to Lotus Heart a part of my ongoing good health plan.

*I found Lotus Heart at a time in my life when I was suffering exhaustion and physical pain as a result of an overly stressful work environment.
The therapists there put me back on my feet. Through massage and other modalities, my stress level dropped dramatically. With that came a corresponding drop in physical pain.
I believe that Lotus Heart has significantly improved both the strength of my health and overall quality of my life.
I have sent many of my friends into the capable hands of their therapists. It seems everyone leaves Lotus Heart in much better shape than when they walked in the door.

*My massage today stopped a very strong nagging pain episode. I was a fool not to listen to myself last week and put my treatment times as a priority to all else.
Thank you so much for your loving skilled hands and continued patience.
