Dury Miller keeps up appearances, even in a tent city. And, hey, watch the shoes.
By CRISTINA SILVA, Times Staff Writer
Published December 16, 2007
ST. PETERSBURG - With each step, a cloud of dust swirls up, licking at the bottom of Dury Miller's shoes.
It's almost dinnertime at Pinellas Hope, the outdoor shelter that has become home to dozens of homeless people since it opened at the beginning of the month, and Miller is quickly getting agitated. Everyday he faces the same losing battle, one he is all too familiar with: how to keep his white sneakers clean.
The plastic garbage bags he ties around his ankles, enveloping the shoes, are not getting the job done.
"Dang," he mutters.
After nearly a lifetime in prison, Miller, 36, fears no man, woman, or hardship.
Uncleanliness, on the other hand, is another matter.
When he had a home, he spent an hour and half grooming in front of the mirror every morning before leaving the house.
His girlfriend began calling him "pretty boy." He couldn't even go to the corner store without first checking to make sure he looked stylish.
Much of the money he earned in his street hustles was spent expanding his wardrobe. Rocawear jeans. Air Force One sneakers. Piles of oversized white T-shirts.
At Pinellas Hope, he stores his small collection of urban couture in his tent.
The black Adidas match the camel suede shirt. The red and white Air Jordans complement his red shirt. The white Nikes are paired with the white T-shirts. He refuses to wear the same shoes two days in a row, even if he is homeless.
"I'm not going to let this bring my appearance down," he said.
His appearance, after all, is all he has.
He began selling crack cocaine as a teenager in Atlanta, his hometown. When he was 17, he said a group of men broke into his apartment to steal his drugs. They shot his girlfriend, his first love, in the face, instantly killing her. They shot him so many times, the bullets nearly sawed off his leg, he said.
He survived. His leg didn't.
His rage consumed him. He began cutting himself, lining his arm with the scars of his self-injuries.
He sold cocaine, got into fights, stole. From 1989 to 2002, he was in and out of Georgia prisons.
After he served his last sentence, he came to St. Petersburg and struggled to lead a normal life.
Miller says he stopped hustling nine months ago. He works as a cook at a St. Petersburg sandwich shop. It's his first legal job, he said.
It isn't enough to make ends meet. For seven months, he and his girlfriend stayed at different low-cost hotels.
On nights when they couldn't afford a room, they slept in shelters, on streets, in a coin laundry.
At Pinellas Hope, the other residents regularly chase Miller out of the bathroom.
They laugh when he wraps his shoes in the garbage bags. He shrugs off their taunts.
He knows he can't control how others see him, but at least he can try to look his best and stay clean.
It wouldn't be so hard, except his favorite color is white.Times researcher Caryn Baird contributed to this report. Cristina Silva can be reached at 727 893-8846 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Pinellas Hope
Pinellas Hope is an outdoor shelter located off 49th Street N in unincorporated St. Petersburg. The shelter opened Dec. 1 and will close in April. For the next five months, the St. Petersburg Times will run occasional profiles on the men and women who call Pinellas Hope home.

Ah crap. JD posted a comment here earlier letting me know that he went to Gourmet Burger in Portlaoise the other day and they have already closed down to concentrate on their Dublin business. I'm so pissed off about this. I don't think it is lack of market in this case, but lack of marketing. How many thousand cars go up and down the N7 and N8 every day? I never once saw an ad for them. I did see some attempt at putting a truck trailer on the side of the road at Christmas with ads for the overall Food Court but that's it. People do need to know you exist before they'll try your business.
Anthony from Ummera mentioned to them that I had blogged about them. Not once did they contact me or post a comment on this blog telling us what they were trying to do and how they'd love it if people would tell their friends. For gods sake, it would've been free advertising. Arrggggggh. Clueless Train Manifesto. Surely someone with a bit more marketing nous and budget can make a go of such a great idea in an ideal location?
UPDATE 1: David from Gourmet Burger has posted an excellent comment here explaining exactly why they shut down Port Laoise. It makes total sense.
Now I'm between a rock and a hardplace aka Iarnród Eireann Sambos or O'Brien's Sambos. Where's me tupperware?

Summer project
Statkraft is proud to offer the annual summer project which represents a real exciting challenge and a steep learning curve for the students. You will get to work on important topics that will allow you to approach future challenges within renewable energy supervised by a project manager and a group of expertise.
The summer project is a major Employer Branding campaign that Statkraft runs each year with 8 candidates from different theoretical backgrounds working intensively together as a team, with close follow-up by Statkraft professionals, for a period of 8-9 weeks. The outcome of the project is presented to the corporate management and shared with the whole organization by the end of the period.
The first summer project was executed in summer 2003, and since then, the project has been very popular among our target groups at both Norwegian and international universities.
We believe that this is a great opportunity to strengthen Statkraft's position as an attractive employer as well as giving the possibility to future talents to approach energy matters and work hard on complex world's climate issues.
This year's topic is "Digitalization in energy markets". By developing models and tools you will solve highly relevant challenges in the energy industry. You will present the outcome of the project to upper management and share it with the organization by the end of the period.
For more information about the summer project 2017 please check here.
Deadline: May 14, 2017.

After it's grilled, I leave it on paper towels to soak up extra water while I make the sauce. Tip: Using a mandoline is a must to slice the zucchini…

We are pleased to announce the International Workshop on Health Recommender Systems co-located with the 11th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems, 31st August 2017, Como (Italy). Submission deadline July, 2nd 2017.
Health is at the center of our everyday lives. During the 1st Health Recommender Systems workshop we elaborated a great variety of fields in which recommender systems can improve our awareness, understanding and behavior regarding our own health. At the same time these application areas bring new challenges into the recommender community. Recommendations that influence the health status of a patient, need to be either liable or accompanied by domain experts. To make the recommender liable, complex domain specific user models need to be created, which on the other hand creates privacy issues. While trust into a recommendation needs to be explicitly earned by transparency, explanations and empowerment, other systems might want to persuade users into beneficial actions that would not be willingly chosen otherwise. The variety of those challenges also results from the number and diversity of stakeholders involved in health systems. Taking the patient perspective, simple interaction and safety against harmful recommendations might be the prior concern. For clinicians and experts, on the other hand, what matters is precise and accurate content. Finally, health care providers, insurance companies, and clinics are interested in success rates, study results, and financial benefits of the new systems. In this workshop, we want to go deeper into the discussions started last year and establish a roadmap of possible research topics in Health Recommender Systems.
Our aim is to enhance the results of the first workshop in the following areas:
We invite submissions that may include the following topics, but are not limited to:
The goal of this workshop is to share and discuss research and projects that reach beyond classic recommender techniques and discuss health domain related challenges of recommender systems.
We solicit short research papers (4 pages) and short position papers (2 pages), both in the ACM conference paper style. Participants can decide between a research focused submission, resulting in a workshop presentation, and a project focused submission, resulting in a workshop poster. Papers should be submitted in EasyChair to the submission page.
Submission category research: innovative research ideas, preliminary results or system prototypes
Submission category project: funded research projects, industry and research collaborations or health-care and research collaborations
Submission guidelines: All submitted papers must
Link or demo in attachment are preferred in both cases. All papers will be peer-reviewed, must not be under review in any other conference, workshop or journal (at the time of submission), and must contain novel contributions. Accepted papers will be published according to the ACM RECSYS 2017 WS publication rules. The Workshop proceedings will be submitted to Zenodo and indexed at OpenAIRE. All articles will be open-access distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
Please use the workshop's EasyChair submission page for submitting your paper.
We are in touch with people from government, industry and academia who may contribute new perspectives to the topic of health recommender systems (e.g. ethics, privacy, new data sources).
The Association for Computing Machinery does not issue formal invitation letters for visas to attend ACM sponsored conferences. We can however issue a visa support letter. For Visa support letters, please send all requests to the Office of SIG Services firstname.lastname@example.com with the following information: Name and mailing address as it appears on your passport. The name of the conference you wish to attend. Your Registration Confirmation Number. If you are the author of any papers accepted for the conference, please provide the title. A valid fax number and current mailing address. Please see the ACM Visa Support Letters web page for updates to this policy.
If you have questions regarding the workshop, do not hesitate to contact the workshop chairs.
All papers of the 2016 Workshop in Health Recommender Systems can be found here.

The Clemson Tigers football, known traditionally as the "Clemson University Fighting Tigers", represents Clemson University in the sport of American football.

Clemson Football 2016 Schedule Details:
The chatter that Clemson has a weak football schedule has begun, and is likely to continue into the fall.
Check Complete >> Clemson football Schedule 2016
It's not false. Outside of a road game against Florida State – Clemson's top competition for Atlantic Coast Conference supremacy over the past half-decade – there are no other games on the Tigers' schedule that stand out as intimidating.
Of the 12 opponents on Clemson's regular-season calendar, the Seminoles are the only one who finished inside the top 25 of last year's end-of-season USA Today Coaches Poll.
Louisville, which Clemson plays at home Oct. 1, was the only team of the other 11 to even receive votes (seven) toward the final rankings.
None of the other teams on Clemson's schedule are strong candidates to be top-25 teams in 2016. If that holds true, it will hurt the Tigers' resume. It could keep the Tigers out of the College Football Playoff with just one loss, and even if they go 12-0 again, critics could question if they are as good as their record.
The story line of Clemson's strength of schedule won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
At the same time, Clemson shouldn't be criticized – or even blamed – for the way its schedule is set up.
Clemson's season-opening game against Auburn, which struggled to a 7-6 record last year, no longer looks like a top-tier matchup. In 2014 when Clemson scheduled that game, it did. Auburn was coming off a national championship game appearance of its own.
The regular-season finale against South Carolina, Clemson's other SEC game, also looks weak. USC is coming off a 3-9 season and is likely multiple years away from re-emerging as a serious contender under new coach Will Muschamp.
But while Clemson has played an indirect role in the Gamecocks' declining performance, with the talent it has drawn away from USC in recent recruiting cycles, it cannot be faulted for having the annual rivalry game on its schedule.
Clemson's ACC schedule includes several games it should win easily, but that's out of its control. It's not as if the Tigers are avoiding playing the toughest teams in their conference – it's just there aren't many top-tier teams in the ACC right now. Two of their most challenging tests, Florida State and Georgia Tech, will be played on the road. If Clemson wins the ACC Atlantic Division, it could potentially get another top-25 opponent with the ACC Coastal champion in the ACC title game.
The only slots on the schedule where Clemson could have made a concerted effort to book tougher opponents would be its two September non-conference home games. Games against Troy and South Carolina State could both be labeled as "cupcakes." But even that's easier said than done.
Playing a game against a Football Championship Subdivision team can subtract from a resume, but it's been standard practice in the SEC for years, and S.C. State has become a regular visitor to Clemson – thrice in the past four years – because of its in-state ties.
Playing September games against lower-level FBS teams, like Troy, is commonplace throughout the country. For example: Alabama is set to play Western Kentucky and Kent State this September, while Ohio State opens with Bowling Green and Tulsa.
Clemson's schedule might not be considered strong, but that's not the Tigers' fault. It's par for the course for Clemson over the years and for the most part, with other top teams' schedules around the country. It just might get more attention because of Clemson's status as a national championship favorite.

(This will hopefully get competed, I've just been busy. Contructive criticism is welcome, but please add what I should improve on.) (And also, this story sort of ties in to my friend AliusNeo's The Master's Initiative: Secret Origin But how it ties in is for you to figure out, clues are there)
A sudden noise, a flash of light. White coats and needles. He hated the needles,
but the pain that the white coats brought was worse. He only understood some of
their words "Project Alpha... Sleeper... Armageddon". All he knew was that he
hated the white coats.
He felt the bullets bounce off his skin, saw the terror in the white coat's eyes. He snarled at them, taking grim pleasure in watching them flee. The whitecoats couldn't hurt him now, no one could. He broke through the door and stopped, not believing his eyes, two more tubes, with small, defenseless bodies floating in them. Savage rage surged throught him, the white coats had others, they were making more. A high female voice interupted him "You're out of your tube, Alpha. You should go back. You know you're not allowed to leave it".The voice was teasing, it sounded like a mother scolding a child refusing to go to bed, but he knew better. He turned to see a woman with long blonde hair behind him, standing with her arms folded.
"No" was his quick response, he knew her, she was the one who helped the white coats, helped them hurt him. Reaching down slowly, he hefted a piece of the steel door, ready to throw it at her. "No more" He said, "No more whitecoats, no more sleeper, NO MORE ALPHA". What started off as a whisper grew into a yell as he threw the jagged piece of metal at her. She stood there calmly, raising her hand, somehow stopping the projectile in mid-air and lowering it slowly to the ground.
"Thats enough Alpha, you're going back to your tube" she looked straight at him"Sleep". Against his will his eyes began to close,
"N-no" Alpha grunted, trying to run, but his arms and legs wouldn't obey. He lurched forward, falling to the ground. As darkness closed around him he heard a deep male voice from somewhere behind him,
"Was the genetic transfer a success?". The blonde woman answered, seemingly unaware that Alpha was still awake,
"We won't know for sure for a year or so, but the subjects seem most promising. If we can keep them all sedated, we may have your solidiers.".The man chuckled, and in the dim light Alpha could have sworn he saw the man"s eyes glow red.
"There is much more to this then that."
Now, East end juvenile care centre.
Ryan felt his body hit the ground hard. He tried to force himself to get back up. "Not done yet" he muttered pushing himself inches off the ground
before falling back on his stomach.
"No, I think you're done for the day" was the response as a large blonde haired boy extended a hand to help him up. "Not bad Carson, not bad at all. You actually might survive here if you can fight like that. I'm Mike" the boy said with a goofy grin
"Welcome to Juvie, Carson, hope you survive it".
Ryan nodded silently, leaning over to pick up his duffel bag from where he had dropped it.

This invention relates to the incorporation of an aramid polymer pulp fiber into non-asbestos type friction materials for the purpose of improving the structural integrity of preforms. The preforms serve as an intermediate product in the manufacture of friction elements.
It has become desirable to find a replacement for asbestos containing friction materials because of health and safety hazards to people coming in contact with such materials. Numerous approaches to the replacement of asbestos have led to a substantial body of art that has resulted in at least three major categories of non-asbestos type formulations. They are: (1) semi-metallic materials, (2) organic non-asbestos materials, and (3) cold molding hydrocarbon materials. Such categories are generally illustrated by U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,856,120; 4,137,214; and 4,125,496, respectively. Other typical non-asbestos formulations are included in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,278,584; 4,226,758; 4,226,759; and 4,219,452. The later patent teaches the addition of aramid polymer fibers such as KEVLAR 29 as a substitute for asbestos. The aramid polymer fiber functions as a reinforcing agent.
The elimination of asbestos from friction material formulations has created a substantial manufacturing problem. The problem is that the non-asbestos containing preforms, normally pressure formed at ambient temperatures prior to hot pressing and heat curing, do not possess acceptable structural integrity so as to be able to withstand subsequent handling and storage without breakage. On the other hand, asbestos-containing compositions possess the requisite structural integrity to withstand such handling. This invention solves the structural integrity problem encountered in non-asbestos preforms with the expedient of incorporating an effective amount of a pulp fiber form of an aramid polymer into the friction material to ensure the attainment of sufficient structural integrity to withstand the subsequent handling and/or storage of the compact prior to further processing.
It has been suggested that KEVLAR fibers, in pulp form, can be added to friction products as a replacement for asbestos. The pulp is said to enhance reinforcing characteristics. However, advantages associated with the incorporation of such pulps into friction material systems that have been especially formulated to avoid the problems associated with asbestos do not appear to have been appreciated.
The invention generally pertains to a non-asbestos type friction material composition, such as semi-metallic, organic non-asbestos, or hydrocarbon cold forming types. The inventive composition is suitable for use as a friction element, and is comprised of a thermosetting binder, a fibrous reinforcing material, and an effective amount of a aramid polymer pulp fiber to result in good structural integrity of preforms made from the friction material. It has been discovered that up to 15% by weight based upon the total weight of all other ingredients of the pulp fiber may be preferably used. Upon forming a mixture of the friction material composition of the invention, a friction element may be manufactured by following the steps of compressing the mixture to form a preform, pressing the preform at elevated temperatures, treating said pressed material at a temperature sufficient to effect curing, and then forming a friction element such as disc brakes, friction pads, clutch linings, and the like from the cured material by conventional steps.
The sole FIGURE illustrates the effect of KEVLAR pulp upon flexural strength and coefficient of friction at 200� F.
It has been discovered that the so-called "green strength" of non-asbestos type friction material preforms can be substantially improved by the incorporation of relatively small amounts of aramid polymer pulp fibers into the friction material. Aramid pulp fibers may be typically included in amounts ranging from an effective amount to result in good structural integrity of the preform to about 15% by weight based on the total weight of all other ingredients. No particular advantage is seen to exceeding the 15% level due to economic considerations, and, hence, such upper level is contemplated. It is preferred to utilize from about 0.5% to 10% so as such amounts are adequate for insuring the attainment of good structural integrity of the preform and serve to optimize a flexural strength.
Aramid polymers suitable for use in practice of the invention are commercially available from E. I. DuPont de Nemours Company, Wilmington, Delaware under the trade names KEVLAR, KEVLAR 29, KEVLAR 49, and NOMEX. The term "aramid polymer" as used in the present specification means a synthetic polymeric resin generally designated in the art as an aromatic polycarbonamide. "Aramid polymer" is disclosed in Technical Disclosure T950,008 (95 OG 6, published Sept. 7, 1976, and based on an application originally filed Feb. 18, 1975) as being a polymer described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,652,510; 3,699,085; and 3,673,143 and is believed to be of a composition hereinafter described. In these patents, the polymers disclosed therein include fiber forming polymers of high molecular weight, e.g. having an inherent viscosity of at least about 0.7, characterized by recurring units of the formula ##STR1## wherein Ar1 is p-phenylene and/or chloro-substituted p-phenylene and/or 4,4-substituted diphenyl methane, i.e., ##STR2## and Ar2 is p-phenylene, i.e., ##STR3##
Illustrative examples of polycarbonamides coming within the definition of the above formula are poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide), chloro-substituted poly (p-phenylene terephalamide), and copolymers thereof.
The designation of the position of location of the substituent groups on the aromatic nuclei of the aramid polymer refers to the location of the substituents on the aromatic diamine, diacid or other coreactants from which the aramid polymer is prepared.
Although the aramid polymer or aromatic polycarbonamide may consist primarily of carbonamide links (--CONH--) and aromatic ring nuclei, conforming to the formula above, the polymer may contain up to 20 mole percent and preferably 0 to 5 mole percent of non-conforming comonomer units which provide units in the polycarbonamide chain different from ##STR4## such as aromatic carbonamide units whose chain extending bonds are coaxial or parallel and oppositely directed, e.g. ##STR5## meta-phenylene units, non-aromatic and non-amide groups.
A more comprehensive disclosure of the composition of armid polymers is found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,673,143 as well as the divisional patent thereof, U.S. Pat. No. 3,817,941, the teachings of which are herein incorporated by reference.
Independent analytical tests and infra-red analysis have indicated that KEVLAR 29 could be predominately (95% weight) poly (p-phenylene diamine terephtalamide) and could be chemically described as poly (p-phenylene diamine terephthalamide)-co-poly (4,4-diamino diphenyl methane terephthalamide).
It is important that the aramid polymers utilized to obtain the unique advantages of the invention are in the pulp form of aramid fibers. Pure pulp fibers are very short, highly fibrillated with many, very fine fibrils or subfibers attached to a core fiber. The length of the pulp is from about 2 to 4 mm. The pulp is further discussed in a brochure entitled "DuPont Develops Pulp Form of "KEVLAR" for Asbestos Replacement Applications," by E. I. DuPont de Nemours Company, Wilmington, Delaware.
Three general types of non-asbestos type friction materials have evolved in the art. They are semi-metallic materials, organic non-asbestos materials, and hydrocarbon cold forming materials.
Semi-metallic systems typically include phenolic resins; carbonaceous particles such as graphite or carbon particles; non-asbestos fibers such as those of steel, ceramic, or carbon; ceramic powders such as those of magnesium oxide, zircon, mullite and alumina; metal powders such as those or iron, copper, brass, and stainless steel; and other modifiers such as elastomers and inorganic wear fillers.
Semi-metallic systems typically may contain the following amounts of the above constituents:
______________________________________Ingredient Wt. %______________________________________Phenolic Resin 4-13Graphite or Carbon Particles 15-40Fibers.sup.(1) 0-25Ceramic Powders.sup.(2) 2-10Metal Powders.sup.(3) 15-40Other Modifiers.sup.(4) 0-20______________________________________ .sup.(1) steel, ceramic, or carbon fibers .sup.(2) magnesium oxide, zircon, mullite, alumina .sup.(3) iron, copper, brass, stainless steel .sup.(4) elastomers, inorganic wear fillers.
In the manufacture of friction elements, the semi-metallic friction material constituents are mixed together to form a homogeneous mixture. The mixture is then pressed into preforms. The preforms are then transferred to a second press where pressure and heat are simultaneously applied, causing the resin to melt and flow throughout the piece forming a continuous matrix for holding the other ingredients. The lining pads are then transferred to curing ovens and cured at temperatures ranging from 300� to 600� F. to further set the resins.
Organic non-asbestos systems typically include a thermosetting resin; cashew particles; non-asbestos fibers; and more than 20% by weight of a powdered inorganic compound having a Moh's hardness rating of greater than 2 and less than 5 and capable of being subjected to temperatures of greater than about 425� C. without substantial chemical or physical alteration. Such components are described in greater detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,137,214 which patent is hereby incorporated by reference herein for the purpose of such additional description. Organic non-asbestos systems typically may contain the following amounts of the above ingredients:
______________________________________Ingredient Wt. %______________________________________Thermosetting Resin 10-30Cashew Nut Particles 5-25Non-Asbestos Fibers 5-15Inorganic Compound 20-60______________________________________
Another so-called organic non-asbestos friction material is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,278,584. This patent discloses the following general formulation:
______________________________________Ingredient Weight %______________________________________Phenol-formaldehyde Resin 6-12Carbon Fibers 10-40Steel Fibers 30-60Inorganic and/or Organic Fillers 10-20______________________________________
Friction elements may be typically manufactured from organic non-asbestos mixtures by placing a quantity of the mixture in a mold and pressing at 1200 psi with a 10 second dwell time in the mold to form a preform and then curing the preform at 300� F. for 15 minutes at 4000 psi with degassing at the end of one and 2.5 minutes. The edges of the cured preform are then trimmed to remove excess material and the preform post-baked while under constraint in a forming container to prevent swelling for a period of 8 hours. The temperature is increased linearly over a period of 1.5 hours to 400� F. and then held at that point for the remaining period.
Hydrocarbon cold forming friction materials of the non-asbestos type may typically include at least two systems. The first system includes non-asbestos inorganic fibers, cellulose fibers, optionally carbon and/or graphite particles, and a thermosetting organic binder comprising a hydroxyl terminated butadiene copolymer of the formula ##STR6## wherein X is phenyl or CN, a has a value of from 0.05 to 0.95, b has a value of from 0.005 to 0.5, and n is an integer from about 10 to 140; the binder having been cured with from about 0.1 to about 5 percent of a peroxide catalyst.
A second non-asbestos hydrocarbon cold forming system includes metallic materials, graphite particles bonded together when a thermosetting hydroxyl butadiene copolymer of the formula: ##STR7## wherein X is phenyl or CN, a has a value of from 0.5 to 0.95, b has a value of from 0.005 to 0.5, and n is an integer from about 10 to about 140; the copolymer having been cured with from about 0.02 to about 12.5 percent of a peroxide catalyst.
The components mentioned above for both systems are discussed in greater detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,125,496 which patent is hereby incorporated by reference for the purpose of such additional description.
The abovementioned systems typically may contain the following amounts of the above constituents:
______________________________________First SystemIngredient Wt. %______________________________________Inorganic Fibers 20-70Cellulose Fibers 5-25Coke Particles 0-15Graphite Particles 0-10Carbon Black 0-15Thermosetting Organic Binder 10-60______________________________________
______________________________________Second SystemIngredient Wt. %______________________________________Metallic Material.sup.(1) 15-75Graphite Particles 5-20Thermosetting Organic Binder 2-50______________________________________ .sup.(1) Metal fibers, metal powder or admixtures
In the manufacture of friction elements, hydrocarbon cold molding formulations are typically uniformly mixed and then cold molded at pressures on the order of 2000 to 5000 psi to form a preform.
Curing of the preform can be accomplished by heating at elevated temperatures on the order of about 350� to about 600� F. for a period of several hours.
In order to demonstrate the working of the invention, the friction compositions disclosed in Tables I and II were formulated. As will be noted, Example 1-3 pertains to a typical semi-metallic friction composition and Examples 4-14 pertain to a typical organic non-asbestos friction composition. KEVLAR pulp and/or fiber was added to such formulations with the amount of KEVLAR material being expressed as a weight percentage of the formualtion base. Following formulation, the 200 gram samples were formed into preforms at a pressure of 1500 psi at ambient temperature. The samples were evaluated for flexural strength following storage for 24 hours at a temperature of 68� F. and 50% relative humidity.
A Model TTD Instron tensile testing machine was used to perform flexural strength testing. A 53/8" long and 11/2" wide test specimen was placed over two 1" diameter rods and the tensile testing machine crosshead lowered onto the specimen until the specimen fractured. Flexural strength results are indicated in Table III. In addition, treated preform Examples 4-14 were evaluated for coefficient of friction and wear properties. The preforms were hot molded for 15 minutes at 300� F. and post-baked for 8 hours at 400� F. while constrained. A typical commercially available friction testing machine having the ability to measure drum temperature, to heat and cool the drum, to control drum heating and cooling rate, to measure friction force, and to measure drum rotational speed was utilized to obtain the coefficient of friction and wear data. The test specimens were taken from the center of the treated preform approximately equidistant from each end. The specimens were 2.514 mm, flat on the bottom, and the radius of the working surface conformed to the radius of the test drum (279.4 mm). Specimen thicknesses were about 6.10 mm. The speciments were tested for wear (weight loss and thickness loss) at 417 rpm, 100 psi; and at a maximum temperature of 200� F. and 350� F. for a minimum of 20 minutes to obtain at least 95% contact. During the wear testing, coefficient of friction measurements were taken at the end of the application.
In view of the results obtained, it is apparent that the addition of KEVLAR pulp to friction materials serves to enhance the green strength of the preform up to a level of about 10 wt %. The strength advantage declines somewhat at levels about 10 wt % but is still manifested at about 15 wt %. The effect of KEVLAR pulp upon flexural strength and coefficient of friction at 200� F. is graphically illustrated on the sole FIGURE at curve 1. Hence, it is seen that KEVLAR pulp additions are effective to improve the structural integrity of the preform and that amounts up to on the order of about 15% are quite effective. A range of about 0.5 to 10 wt % is preferred; the lower amount to ensure that adequate green strength improvement is obtained and the upper level to optimize the strengthening effect.
The test data also indicate that KEVLAR fiber serves to increase flexural strength to a greater extent than KEVLAR pulp. Examples 6 and 11 demonstrate such function. However, when excessive amounts of KEVLAR fiber are added, such as in Examples 10 and 14, unacceptable preform processability problems are encountered due to non-uniformity. Thus, less than about 4.5 wt % fiber should be added to the formulation. In general, it is recommended that a range of from about 0.5 to 10 wt % of pulp be utilized with a maximum of about 4 wt % fiber to achieve an acceptable trade-off between strength and processability.
The test data also indicate that the coefficient of friction decreases somewhat with increasing pulp content. This effect is generally depicted in Table III and the FIGURE at curve 2. Thus, KEVLAR pulp additions may also be used to influence the coefficient of friction of the ultimate product. In any event, the wear and coefficient of friction properties shown in Table III are considered to be of commercial attractiveness and, hence, further demonstrate the advantageous nature of the invention.
It is pointed out that all friction material composition ingredients, other than aramid polymer pulp fiber and around polymer fiber, are specified as weight percent. The pulp fiber and fiber are specified as a weight proportion of the pulp and/or fiber to the total weight of all other friction material ingredients. In other words, a composition specifying 15% by weight of pulp would contain 100 parts by weight of all other ingredients and 15 parts by weight of pulp; the term "all other ingredients", as used in the specification and claims meaning all ingredients other than aramid polymers in pulp fiber and fiber form.

Come, bring friends, and find out what Sabbath in Amesbury is all about........
You need to come in person to truly experience what is happening in our church. Having a full, 24 hour period dedicated to Jesus each week gives us time to develop that relationship. Though somewhat few in number, we have an active, growing church, with well attended meetings at least three times per week: (see Calendar for details). Our weekly Sabbath service, which begins at 11am every Sabbath (Saturday), is preceded at 9:30 by a lively discussion of spiritual topics in Adult Sabbath School. Children's Sabbath School runs at the same time. Worship is the focus and centerpiece of our week. Currently, it is aired each Wednesday on the local community station, channel 9, at 5pm.
Then on Tuesday at 7pm we hold Prayer Meeting upstairs in #1 Osgood Place. On Friday at 7pm we have a Vespers at the Church in the Fireside Room at the back of the sanctuary.
Feel free to return to this website every day to engage in our daily devotional and see what is new on our calendar.
This week: Fresh Bread The theme - It's time to leave our Babylon "Home"
May. 20th. Lunch 12:45pm, Meeting at 2:00. At the Church

Question about Acer Aspire 5600 Series 5630-6951 Laptop
My 4 month old Acer Aspire 5720Z Notebook screen started to flicker yesterday and then when blank. When I adjusted the screen/lid slightly it would flicker and after a number of tries I got the screen back. I used it for over an hour and the OS works fine. I did a virus scan etc. and found no other problems. Today the same thing. (Using it right now) What's wrong with it? Is there something loose or is it a major problem??? I have no time to ship it across Canada to Acer for warranty -- this will take weeks!!!PLEASE HELP!!!
Posted by CanucksGirl on
i didnt open my my aspire 5720Z for 2 wks, then when i did, i made updates, power shut off...couldnt put it on anymore, help me
My Acer Aspire 4315 does the same thing. The screen flickers, and then
it goes completely blank white. If I hit Ctrl + Alt + F11 it comes
back, but it's only a temporary fix. Also, if it helps at all in
answering my problem: If I attach an additional monitor to my computer,
it does not go blank when the laptop screen does.
I have the same problem with an Extensa 5630 and I dual boot Windows Vista and Ubuntu 8.10 and happens with OSes , it seems more a hardware problem.
I have the same problem. It happened to me about half a year ago and reinstalling the OS solved it. So it's by no chance a hardware problem. I have a Acer TravelMate 6291. It must be some kind of a software problem, but don't know which one :-(
Posted on Sep 02, 2008
If you HAVE any experience with computer hardware you can open it and check the data and power cables that connect to motherboard that they have not come loose or damaged and thus short circuiting your lcd, but you must be aware that unless you have extensive experience you will probably be unable to open your machine in such a way that you do not forfeit your warranty. but the problem is definitely with the lcd connection to the mainboard. If you arent sure send it to Acer to be safe. thanks

SOURCE: Acer Aspire 5720Z Notebook - Screen flickers, goes blank then comes back on when screen/lid is adjusted
In most cases like that,where we have screen flickering,first look at the graphics card maybe the signal flex from the back of the screen is well fixed on the motherboard.then if it is well fixed on the board you will need to look at the signal board at the back of the screen maybe it is well fixed if it is not well fixed then fix it properly to solve ur problem then if the problem still persist then u will need to disable the VGA in device manager.to get to device manager u will need to open my computer and after that, u can right-click on it and then click on propertise then click on hardware and then click on device manager where u can disable the VGA.

As we get deeper into drinking culture, our recent successes in tea, coffee and cocktails have given us the momentum to delve deeper into wine and water through the mouth-blown minimal shapes of TANK – an increasingly complete range of drinking and pouring vessels that are now also joined by some oversized flower vases and lanterns.
Tank is made from mouth‑blown clear glass, defined by their simple shapes that were inspired by the rigour of science laboratory equipment. With crisply cut and polished edges and a sharply applied band of precious metallic copper detailing, they provide the perfect functionality for modern drinking.
New additions to the family include a lantern, ice-cream bowl, a cake stand, tea-light holders, vases, decorative bowls, and beer and whiskey glasses.
The TANK Glass family features new beer and whiskey glasses. Clockwise, from right to left: champagne flutes, wine glass, new beer glass, high ball, low ball and new whiskey glasses.
We've added a cake stand and ice cream bowl to the TANK family.
New additions to the TANK family.
New for Autumn / Winter 2016: a TANK whiskey decanter and glasses.
