I worked at Darigold full-time (More than 3 years)
Can't think of many. It is a very cool office building but it is my understanding it was the last management team that made the decision. Can't see this group of management or the board of directors agreeing to something this nice ever again. I sure hope the lease is very long for the remaining and future employees. It is in a very bad neighborhood.
Culture, culture, culture. We actually had meetings about how some posts on Glassdoor were bad for the company and employees were encouraged to write positive comments on the website. It is rumored that many of the very positive posts about Darigold were written by the higher ups in IT.
Advice to Management
I've been gone from the company for about 4 months and looking back I tried to make the best of Darigold but I was lying to myself. It is DEFINITELY the WORST place I've ever worked. I worked in the CFO's group (Finance/IT/Treasury) and it was the most juvenile environment you can ever image. The leader of IT is a yes man. The new leader of Finance tells the CFO everything and is willing to do anything to impress him. The CFO knows the words to say but his actions are he wants to be loved. Avoids conflict and allows peers and his team to functions very poorly. The group is what I image the work environment to be for my grandfather but worse in that there is a lot of words of how they are developing employees and improving the profitability of the company but there is no intention to accomplish this. Now that I'm away all I can say is you make my current work environment look AWESOME. Must give some thanks for that as I will always have Darigold as a reference of how bad it can be and be thankful for my current job.

Beni, good 401K plan and match , Pay
HR from hell. Combative. Not Trust. No Team work. Always watching your back. No reword for hard work or going above and beyond. Rarely see management at night. Sad Culture no one trust the new management. Talk about micromanagement
Advice to Management
Develop management systems. Encourage working smarter not harder. Review roles and responsibilities of HR and make sure they represent the employees and not only upper management. Be fair and honest not on the surface but in your actions. Too much lip service and very few follow up.

Good 401K. Ability to work at my own pace and make my own schedule. Little to no micro managing. Free parking and bus passes.
There isn't much room for growth and if there is, it's a very slow process. People are nice but on the surface. I don't know anyone in the building that is actually friends outside of work - just not a very fun environment. People don't work cross functionally and there are a lot of silos. It's a mans world so good luck getting promoted if you are a woman....I don't think there are any women VPs and very few women managers. It's not horrible ...it looks good on a resume but it's not a place to stay long term if you are young.
Advice to Management
Realize this isn't 1980 and start making some changes to engage people of the future.

Have you ever raised chickens…in your backyard? Have you ever thought about it? There are many good reasons to do so. They are an excellent addition to your organic vegetable garden, and , as pointed out below, can reduce your work load!
First, the eggs are healthy, organic, and taste good. You control the eggs and the food that your chickens eat. I like vegetarian free range chicken eggs. Man do they taste good. As an added bonus, free range, organic chicken eggs are healthier and more nutritious because they are richer in Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin E than the supermarket eggs. If you are watching your cholesterol, the backyards eggs help you tremendously by contributing to your good fat and contributing far lower amounts of cholesterol than store bought, factory eggs.
Chickens in your back yard also help control the insect problem. The chickens eat mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, slugs, and their eggs. Chickens love fly larvae. Wouldn't it be great to go outside and not be bothered by unnecessary bugs? Chickens also assist with weed control. Introduced into a mature garden, the chickens scratch and remove small plants and weeds. If you keep the chickens in a tractor or portable coop/yard, you can control where they weed.
Putting the chickens where you want them also allows you to put the excellent chicken fertilizer to work for you. Unlike dog poop, chicken poop is an excellent source of fertilizer for your garden. Rotating the chickens through your beds after the growing season gets your earth tilled, weeds and varmints removed, and fertilizes for the next growing season. Put the chickens for work for you.
Chickens are inexpensive and easy to care for with a bit of planning. Make sure that you design your coop or tractor so that it is easy to clean. Provide suitable roosting for your chickens and provide privacy for your layers. Chickens also are fun for your children. Chickens are silly. It is almost impossible to watch chickens run around your yard without smiling.
Chickens can also improve relations with your neighbors…as long as you don't get a rooster. Roosters crow all the time. In the morning at dawn, before dawn, as sunset, in the middle of the night. As long as you get chickens (not roosters) your neighbors will be thrilled with the fresh eggs that you give them. How do you know the sex of a baby chicken? I'd leave that to the expert at the beginning. As long as you are familiar with a few terms, you can make sure to get the best chickens for your family.
Do not buy straight run chickens. The straight run chickens are just selected based upon the order they hatch and are not sexed. You just get a grab bag of boys and girls. You probably know that baby chickens are called chicks. They are not called boy chicks and girl chicks. Cockerels are baby roosters (boys) and pullets are baby chickens (girls). Your local farmers cooperative probably sells chicks. Just make sure they are sexed. Also, depending how many chicks you want, you can order them off of the interest and have them delivered UPS to your door. Pretty cool! Lastly, your local extension service can tell you how to locate a chicken producer near you.
Get some chickens, raise them right, and add them to your organic vegetable garden today! Your family will be thrilled!

Comments about Carrom Super Stick Hockey Table:
I read several reviews of this item on different websites before I ordered this. I had three picked out, and I ended up with this one, even though it cost a bit more. It had to be able to withstand some rowdy foster sons, and it did. Let me tell you, when you find something that entertains boys for as long as this game does, you will pay ANYthing. When I was younger, we had these types of games, but not with the domes, which is sweet. The disks doesn't go flying off everywhere. It's a little tall for the little guys, but I didn't really get it for that age anyways. It's pretty sturdy, well constructed, and has never been knocked over, which goes to show how sturdy it is. The way it keeps score is fun: when a puck goes in and comes out onto the tray, unobtrusive (or at least not annoying) music starts and the electronic board changes the numbers. Depending upon where you order this, the delivery can be cumbersome as it has to be brought into your house with more than one person. Once you pry open the box, it's a little daunting to see a bunch of screws, but really, it's just a matter of screwing on the legs and scorebox and then there's something to do with a wire that my husband took care. If my husband and I can do this, ANYONE can. Shipping wasn't cheap, which nearly deterred me. All in all, I'd rather pay for something like this that gives kids and adults hours of entertainment rather than spend this amount of money on a bunch of little worthless toys that end up laying around the house. At least a big variety of people can enjoy something like this.

K.I.G. Capital Real Estate is a full-service property management firm servicing Southern California owners and tenants. While we manage various different types of asset classes, we specialize in residential properties.
We take a tailored approach to every property we manage.
As owners know, each class of property has individual needs and management challenges. For example:
Luxury Estates often require well-trained grounds maintenance to maintain landscaping and other outdoor amenities. At K.I.G. Capital, we work with quality luxury vendors and our owners to maintain the highest level of aesthetic appeal.
Single-Family Homes can undergo a lot of wear and tear during a rental period. K.I.G. Capital can manage the exterior landscape and envelope of the property as well as interior maintenance to perform necessary repairs before they develop into expensive emergencies.
Condominium H.O.A. Management requires liaising with the residential board in order to come to financial and community agreements on repairs, building upgrades and clarifying owner concerns about management and upkeep of the property. It is our role to advise and support the short and long term goals of the H.O.A.s in effort to control costs, without compromising quality of approved H.O.A. projects.
Multi-Family Apartment Building Management involves tenant selection and monitoring, alongside building upkeep. We qualify tenants for buildings based on our strict leasing qualification criteria, ensuring that we have respectful, capable people living in well-maintained buildings in order to maximize revenue and provide quality of life to the building residents.
Commercial property management today is vastly different than years prior, when simple building maintenance was the standard. Today, commercial properties not only need to be maintained, but also be able to generate business. Owners must offer the growing sophisticated tenants with intelligent design work space as well as "green" attributes which compliment tenants' businesses.
K.I.G. Capital's 5 Aspects of Property Management:
- Aggressive marketing of vacant units for qualified and quality tenants
- Tenant retention
- Control costs for owners
- Maintain complete and accurate books & records
- Communication: direct communication with owners, vendors and tenants
We offer a full suite of services to our owner clients:
- Established luxury estate concierge management services
- Comprehensive HOA management services
- Aggressive marketing of vacant units

This is the month in which we celebrate Presidents Day, due to the fact that both Washington and Lincoln's birthdays are in February. When you drive the nation, you have many opportunities to visit presidential homes, from the most famous to the somewhat obscure. Here are some favorites:
You don't need to be a fan of the founding fathers, or even a huge history buff, to appreciate a visit to the Mount Vernon estate. George Washington's former homestead, located just south of Washington D.C. in Virginia, boasts a museum, gardens, farm, and even the tomb of our first president. Of course, that's all in addition to the actual house. Well, "house" might be a bit of an understatement. It's a stately mansion of 21 rooms and more than 11,000 square feet. Read More

Magical Terrorism In Nigeria
Prove in December I came across a new gob on the Nigerian 419 trap in the form of an post intimidating to curse the inheritor unless he or she paid off the sender organization to one side. I predicted that it was outer to work on Americans, and unquestionable enough I haven't seen any examples in my own inbox as I posted that story in any case having a rather kingdom post unequivocal. If the curse 419 trap worked, it bordering on certainly would acknowledge become as acknowledged as the frozen 419, in which the inheritor is open a cut of some lunar bulk of money in link for allocation the sender atone for it out of the majestic unlawfully. I get live in all the time.
I suppose it was entirely a commercial of time in the past someone hit upon the general idea of magical terrorism. A group of women in Nigeria are intimidating to curse the men of the majestic if the dispensation refuses to undo Ralph Uwazuruike, a pro-self-government head who has been held on charges of rebellion for the hem in two years. Glumly for us researchers, the women did not appoint what create of curse they were leaving to cast, making any official assessment of its value alluring far away impracticable - although of course this a good kingdom citizens make contact with at the same time as it allows the casters to take pride for any create of catastrophe or gust that occurs in the same way as their casting.
So momentum the Nigerian dispensation comply? That husk to be seen - and if leaders bar we can start reflection the Nigerian tidings to see what create of magick these people can be keen on up.

Key partners in the delivery of Connexions are inadequately
represented on partnership boards and on local management
committees, according to a report by education watchdog
The report, which looks at the first year of Connexions
partnerships, is based on 15 inspections and focuses on four
themes: partnerships, the role of the personal adviser, the
involvement of young people, and careers guidance.
While progress had been made in establishing working relationships
between partners, there was still much to do to ensure that the
partnership principle was put into practice. In two-thirds of
partnerships, some key partners are inappropriately represented,
Ofsted said.
While the effort had been made to involve young people, the range
and number of young people involved was inadequate.

As Canada's first auto talks in four years got underway, CAW president Ken Lewenza issued a clear warning to the auto makers – stop asking for concessions.
Canada's 24,000 auto workers deserve to share in the gains the auto makers have made since 2009 when a multi-million dollar government bailout and worker concessions helped keep a struggling industry in business, he said.
"The companies have profited because of our members' sacrifices. They have no economic or ethical right to demand further concessions," Lewenza told a press conference Tuesday at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Toronto.
The CAW is holding its first formal meetings this week with each of the Detroit Three auto makers, General Motors, Chrysler and Ford, in what some have described as the most crucial auto talks in years.
At stake are the wages of some of the country's highest paid industrial workers, along with the future of auto industry investment in Canada, a key driver of Ontario's economy.
GM Canada opened the talks Tuesday morning saying it wants to cut its hourly labour costs in Canada, Lewenza said.
While the company has yet to make specific proposals, Lewenza said, "they made multiple demands in multiple areas that we would consider concessionary."
GM's U.S. chief executive Dan Ackerson has described Canada as the most expensive place in the world to build cars.
GM Canada recently announced plans to close an older assembly line in Oshawa and move some of that production to a lower cost facility in the U.S.
The company declined to comment on its demands saying only that "the North American auto industry today faces extremely challenging competitive conditions."
Ford of Canada will also be seeking more "overall labour cost competitiveness" both to protect its existing investment in Canada and also win new business, an official close to the talks said later.
Lewenza said Canada's higher pay rates are offset by the higher profits the auto makers earn on vehicle sales here. The cost of living in Canada is higher, and the Canadian dollar is overvalued by 20 per cent relative to the U.S. greenback, a problem that can't be solved in labour negotiations, Lewenza argued.
He added the union wants to work with the auto makers to make Canada's plants among the world's most productive. But it can't go back to its membership seeking more concessions, not when the companies have returned to profitability.
His members want to win back things like the Christmas bonus they gave up in 2009 to help GM and Chrysler avert bankruptcy, he said. The union also gave up several dollars per hour in pay, agreed to a four-year wage freeze, lost bonuses and time off, while retirees gave up pension indexing.
While he said he doesn't expect to regain all of the losses, the union can't agree to any further concessions given the companies are now profitable.
"One way or another our members have to make some progress," he said. He added the union would not agree to a U.S.-style two-tier wage system that would see new hires accept a lower pay grid.
Lewenza said it was too soon to say which auto maker the union will pick to negotiate a master agreement, which becomes the blueprint for the other companies.
The target last time, in 2008, was Ford. Ford is also looking at improving its overall labour-cost competitiveness in Canada, a senior official said Tuesday.
Lewenza said he's hoping to have a deal in place before the current contract expires Sept. 17. Bargaining will resume after the CAW's constitutional and collective bargaining conference ends Aug. 24.
The talks come amid strong growth in auto sales so far this year as pent up post-recession demand fuels purchases of newer, more fuel-efficient vehicles, a new report shows.
For the first six months, North America posted a double-digit increase in car sales, lifting purchases to the highest level since 2007, according to a global auto report by Scotiabank released Tuesday.
Light vehicle sales in North American have jumped 13 per cent so far this year.
Canadian auto sales are also beating expectations boosting the bank's 2012 forecast to 1.68 million units, the second highest annual total on record.

Who's ready for my Nine Favorite Things this week!?
{Sunday morning brunch vibes…}
Hey, hi! Happy Sunday! Hope you guys are all having a great weekend! Mine started off on Friday afternoon watching my younger brother Red competing at the Burton US Open. I was supposed to head over to Vail to watch with the fam, but…the car wouldn't start, UGHHH! So I ended up making these fajitas on Facebook Live and then squeezed in a few recipes for the blog before calling it a day!
Not sure what's in store for today, but a little time in the sunshine is first on my list! What are you guys up to?
Jumping right in…here is my list of my top nine favorites for the week. Enjoy the Sunday reads! 🙂
1. I've hit that time in the winter when I start "California" dreaming…aka, I want sunshine, warm days, and green smoothies from the cutest LA juice shops. My brother Kai who lives in LA, has been soaking up their eighty degree weather the last few days and I could not be more jealous. So, when I saw this Laguna Beach, CA home I declared I needed to move in…as soon as possible. I mean, do you see that beach side pool?!?! Need it. Clearly I will not be moving in anytime soon, but a girl can dream…
PS. was The O.C anyone else's favorite show? I was only in middle school when it was on TV, but I loved it and I totally admit to watching re-runs whenever possible.
2. A few everyday style items on my must have list…loving these jeans (need), this sweater, this fun spring dress and these shoes (my fav).
3. Have you guys ever tried making a homemade face mask? My skin has been feeling a little dry and red lately, which I'm sure is due to the cold temperatures we had this week. I came across this green tea, honey and coconut face mask and I am so curious to try it. I've made homemade coffee body scrubs before, but never tried a face mask. I think it's time!
4. Favorite beauty buy this week: Boy Brow by Glossier! This was recommended to me by Ali over at Inspiralized and you guys, I am OBSESSED with it. Ever since I was a kid I have always, always been self-conscious of my eyebrows. When I was younger I thought they were way too bushy, now that I am older, I am loving a thicker brow. This product is a game changer. It's so easy to use and will leave you with the perfect brow…trust me.
5. NEW VIDEOS! simple vegetarian skillet lasagna…can I just say that this one would make the most perfect Sunday night dinner. Again, just sayin', but it's so true! bulgogi BBQ chicken tacos with mango slaw…hands down, these might be some of the best tacos…like ever.
6. Are you gluten-free? If so, do you do it for health purposes or just because you think it's "healthy". This post on how going gluten-free can become un-healthy is spot on and filled with so much great info…i.e those gluten-free cookies are probably just as bad for you or worse than if you baked up a fresh batch of cookies yourself! I highly recommend reading this if you're thinking of going gluten-free.
Disclaimer: I am NOT a nutritionist and totally understand that a lot of you may need to be gluten-free for health reasons. I get that, and commend you for taking charge of your health! This is just my current thoughts on eating gluten-free simply because it's trendy or you think it may be "healthier".
7. Here are a few links I am loving: This post on fearless women is most inspiring, especially for someone who is trying to build up a business. Loving this list of 31 Delicious Things To Cook In March. YUM. And here's some Sunday inspiration for you, 37 Healthy Habits To Adopt Today.
8. Major bathroom tile envy. <–would love, love, love a shower like that.
9. This weeks dinners: One Pan Lemon Roasted Salmon, Potatoes and Parmesan Asparagus, One-Pan Spring Tuscan Quinoa Bake, Garlic Butter Roasted Chicken Thighs with Charred Lemon Salsa Verde, Salmon Fajita Salad Boats, Greek Steak Salad French Bread with Soft Boiled Eggs, Broccoli Rabe Burrata Pizza.

Peter Hurkos Genuine Psychic
peter hurkos - theMysterious Prediction
July 31, 2010 By Stephen Ellis
My apologies for not calligraphy a blog position week. My companion and I were in NYC on put. We had a vast time, and calligraphy a blog for the week undoubtedly slipped my sensitivity.
Of all the famous psychics I go through heard about (Edgar Casey, Elizabeth Montgomery, Rasputin, etc.) perhaps the highest good of importance was Peter Hurkos. The argument I say this was seeing that Peter, by booty my keys on his hand, pulled out regular long-forgotten reminiscences from me. I do not profess to be an advantageous on secluded readings, but I'm just thinker about them...and this was no secluded reading. Not even within reach.
Hurkos has been credited with solving regular standardize mysteries, the highest famous of which was the procession of the Boston Strangler. He's more to the point been credited with solving definite other famous hand baggage. One of the trivial well-known hand baggage (but yet highest impressive) was locating the body of a seven day old girl in Amsterdam who had left. She had fallen into one of Amsterdam's untold canals and had gotten knotty in some weeds. Hurkos directed the standardize to the accurately failing the body was found.
Albert Einstein when theoretical that for every type with a special gift or suffer, show request be a hundred line of mediocrity who request tussle to the death to hit out at that sunny or shrewd type and disparage him. In the enormously run, Hurkos has regular line tough to minimizing his one-off skills. Expound are associates (through Wikopedia) that argue Hurkos never permissible himself to be mechanically examined bolt when at the Researcher of California...which test was insufferable, not permitted and invariable worthless of the arithmetical minds at the Researcher of California..
The truth is that Andrija Puharich, MD, a noted physician and pollster of ESP was so confused by the stories about Hurkos that he invited Hurkos to the USA in 1956 to study what seemed to be Hurkos' one-off psychic abilities under laboratory requisites. Hurkos was planned at Dr. Puharich's Glen Cove, Maine, medical poll laboratory under what Dr. Puharich considered to be very speedily secret requisites. The results unquestionable Dr. Puharich that Hurkos' psychic abilities were far boss than any he had ever weathered (not later than or thereafter)... a probing 90% smoothness. Overdue two and-one-half verve of remorseful Hurkos, Dr. Puharich theoretical, "I am unquestionable that Peter Hurkos, is the release of human being I go through ever weathered as a psychic. His abilities are so far reaching, that he hasn't even spoiled the grain of what he can do with his abilities and sensitivity."
Peter Hurkos, corresponding highest line, was to begin with kindhearted with making a living and taking sides his family. He commonly theoretical that his sensitivity was corresponding a TV set that turned itself on and off and he did not unfailingly know afterward his psychicl TV would turn "on" or "off". This became a production afterward he was signed to do a daily TV develop. He never knew afterward his mental TV cover would be committed, so afterward his mental TV was "off" he resorted to his "showman" and "secluded reading" techniques. But even on his daily TV develop, sometimes the cover would turn "on" and he revealed absolute squeeze about line in the spectators that no "secluded reading" freedom possibly will possibly rustle up.
Hurkos gave associates of us that poll the much-repeated a substantial contract into psychic powers. The so-called TV cover is not unfailingly "on", but the fact is that it does, sometimes, turn "on", and afterward it does, we go through one of associates furtive squeeze called psychic phenomena. Even the studies at Duke Researcher go through faithful that the enormously type who fails their psychic tests on Monday may right them with on high colors on Tuesday.
To the point me about your psychic experiences. Stephen Ellis email@example.com

A little far from the old town, but it's well connected by different tram lines. There was no fan inside the room (considering it's summer) so it was quite uncomfortable trying to get some rest. On the other hand, the staff were very polite and accommodating. When I arrived, I was given all the information I need (from places to visit, restaurant recommendations, nearby supermarket, etc.). It was a good stay in general.

I. Field of Invention
This invention pertains to the art of ignitors for charcoal and other similar fuels such as wood, and, more particularly, to an improved ignitor wherein the ignitor is a clean, inexpensive substance not comprising petroleum distillates.
II. Description of the Related Art
The use of charcoal briquettes and similar fuels for outdoor cooking is well-known. Typically, one wishing to cook outdoors purchases charcoal and charcoal lighter fluid in combination. The charcoal is often difficult to kindle, even when using lighter fluid. Conventional charcoal lighter fluid, being a liquid, can be volatile and can present safety and fire hazards. Typical lighter fluid is a petroleum distillate which can cause serious burns, dangerous flame-ups, objectionable odors, poor tasting food, and ozone-layer affecting carbons.
Typical lighter fluid operates by soaking into the charcoal briquettes. Upon ignition, the lighter fluid burns away and the charcoal smolders until hot enough to provide proper heat for cooking. Generally, the procedure takes more time than is desirable.
Further, because of the safety problems recited above, lighter fluid is unacceptable as an igniting substance for use in home fireplaces.
To alleviate these and other problems, some self-kindling fuel packages have been sold. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,832,703 to Campana, et al. describes one such self-kindling fuel package in which a charge of fuel is held together within a container. The container is comprised of two elements which are folded together to create the container which receives the fuel.
Another example of a fuel package is U.S. Pat. No. 3,269,807 to Key, Jr., in which the fuel package comprises a basket formed of a plurality of staves. Within the staves is loaded a charge of fuel. The top of the basket is covered with a circular lid which features a tab.
Another example of a fuel package is U.S. Pat. No. 1,401,803 to Lynes in which a wick extends without a box-like structure containing inflammable material.
U.S Pat. No. 2,834,661 to Chaplin discloses a self-kindling fuel package featuring a chimney section in the middle.
Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 4,460,377 to Kalil features a hollow cardboard container in which charcoal or another similar fuel is stored and ignited with an ignitor.
In accordance with the present invention, a new and improved ignitor for use with a fuel is provided.
More particularly, in accordance with the present invention, the ignition device comprises a base, an ignitor, and a wick. The base is generally planar and has a top surface and a bottom surface. The base is made of a combustible material. The ignitor is attached to the top surface of the base and is made of a thermite type material which contains aluminum and iron oxide. The wick is attached to the top surface of the base and has first and second ends. The first end of the wick is attached to the ignitor.
According to another aspect of the invention, the wick comprises a composition of Al, Fe, Si, and KClO4 and a polyurethane binder.
According to another aspect of the invention, an ignition cream having a mixture similar to that of the wick is affixed to the ignitor where the first end of the wick meets the ignitor.
According to another aspect of the invention, the ignitor has the general shape of a cone with the top portion of the cone truncated.
According to another aspect of the invention, the base is made of cardboard. Further, the ignitor is composed of particulates which are sized for a burning rate of between 5 seconds per inch and 60 seconds per inch. The wick is between 1 millimeter and 2 millimeters thick, and is resiliently flexible.
One advantage of the present invention is the provision of a new and improved igniting device which is capable of use in any of the ordinary types of non-gas, non-electric barbecue grills, fireplaces, wood stoves, campfires, and the like.
Another advantage of the present invention is the provision of an igniting device which is clean, easily handled, kindles rapidly, and contains a charge of ignitor commonly sufficient for a single use.
Still another advantage of the present invention is the provision of an igniting device which eliminates the necessity for the use to handle charcoal lighter fluid and thereby soil his hands.
Another advantage of the present invention is the provision of a solid igniting material, obviating the necessity for the user to utilize volatile liquid lighter fluid. Lighter fluid can be ingested by children, can spill within a vehicle or home, and is associated with safety risks not present in the inventive device. For example, lighter fluid is prone to possible flame-up, thereby burning the face and hands of the user.
A further advantage of the present invention is the lack of an odor associated therewith. Lighter fluid has a heavy petroleum smell and can cause an unpleasant smell in the area as well as impart a poor taste to the food.
A yet further advantage of the present invention is its environmental safety. Carbons produced by combustion of petroleum distillates have been proven to be harmful to the ozone layer.
Still other benefits and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon a reading and understanding of the following detailed specification.
The invention may take physical form in certain parts and arrangements of parts, a preferred embodiment of which will be described in detail in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view, partially broken away, of a self-kindling fuel package showing fuel, the inventive ignition device, and a pull tab in an operative position;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational cross-sectional view of an ignition device within a fuel package;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of one embodiment of an ignition device according to the invention;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of an ignition device according to the invention; and,
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of a container according to the present invention in its unfolded state.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating a preferred embodiment of this invention only and not for purposes of limiting the same, FIG. 1 shows the subject new ignition device B within a fuel package A. While the fuel package A is primarily designed for and will hereinafter be described in connection with its use on a barbecue grill for kindling a charcoal fire thereon, it will be appreciated that the inventive ignition device B could be adapted for use in other environments where it is desired to start a fire such as in a wood stove, a fireplace, or a campfire.
In one embodiment, the ignition device B is used in conjunction with a container 10. With reference to FIG. 1, the container 10 is comprised of a plurality of planar surfaces. The container 10 is preferably made of a flat, continuous element 12. In the preferred embodiment, the planar surfaces are generally rectangular and comprise a top wall 14, a bottom wall 16, and four side surfaces 18, 20, 22, and 24. In the preferred embodiment, the top wall 14 and the bottom wall 16 are approximately square and the side walls 18, 20, 22, 24 are the same size and are taller than their width. This configuration assists in uniformly heating the fuel within the container 10. For example, because the height of the side walls 18, 20, 22, 24 is greater than the width, the fuel tends to be stacked in a pillar-like arrangement. Such an arrangement helps heat a large number of the fuel briquettes quickly in that heat tends to rise. Additionally, because the width of each side wall is approximately equal, the arrangement of the fuel briquettes within the container 10 tends to be symmetrical about a longitudinal axis passing through the center of the top wall 14 and bottom wall 16. As the briquettes burn the container 10 away, the briquettes tend to fall in a uniform symmetrical pattern conducive for uniform heating and ease of cooking.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 5, the top wall 14 is shown to comprise a first flap 30 and a second flap 32. As will be discussed later in the specification, the flaps are selectively folded together to comprise the top wall 14. The first flap 30 comprises a pull tab 36. The pull tab has edges 38 which are perforated to enable the pull tab to be torn open and lifted out of the plane of the first flap 30. A first end 40 of the pull tab 36 is located near an edge 42 of the first flap 30 and an edge 44 of the second flap 32. At both of these edges 42, 44, the corner has been cut at a bevel 48 to assist in the user gripping the first end 40 of the pull tab 36. The second flap 32 is shorter than the first flap 30, so that the edge 33 of the second flap 32 does not extend beneath pull tab 36.
With continuing reference to FIGS. 1 and 5, the container 10 is shown in a flattened, unfolded state. In addition to the first and second flaps 30, 32 of the top wall 14, there is illustrated third and fourth flaps 48, 50. When the first, second, third, and fourth flaps are folded together to comprise top wall 14, a slot 54 is located directly beneath pull tab 36. One half of the slot 54 is cut into the third flap 48 and one half of the slot 54 is cut into the fourth flap 50. The slot 54 provides ventilation at the top of the container 10 when the briquettes have been ignited and provides a drafting, chimney-like effect.
With continuing reference to FIG. 1, the fuel 56 is illustrated in the form of charcoal briquettes. While charcoal briquettes are the preferred fuel, other types of fuel can work equally as well. For example, another effective use of the ignition device B is in a fireplace to start firewood. In the preferred method, a log which is split in half is set horizontally into the fireplace with the flat edge upward. An ignition device B according to the invention is then placed on the flat surface of the split log. A second log is then placed on top of the igniting device B, creating a sort-of sandwich. When the igniting device is activated, it generates enough heat to light both logs.
With reference to FIGS. 1-3, the preferred embodiment of the fuel package A contains a floor insert 60. The floor insert 60 is one embodiment of the inventive ignition device B. The floor insert 60 is received within the container 10 and is designed to fit on top of bottom wall 16. The floor insert 60 is cut with an extension 62 as well as a recess 64. The function of the extension 62 is to extend the wick beyond the confines of the container 10 as will be discussed later. The function of the recess 64 is to enable the extension 62 to be stamped out of an adjoining piece of cardboard with maximum material savings. For example, a large number of floor inserts 60 can be stamped out of a single rectangular piece of cardboard with minimal waste if the extension 62 of one floor insert 60 creates the recess 64 of the adjoining floor insert 60.
It is not believed that a floor insert 60 is required; instead, it may be preferable to place the ignition device B illustrated in FIG. 4 directly on the bottom wall 16 of the container 10. On the other hand, some manufacturing efficiencies may result from use of the configuration of the floor insert 60. For example, the ignition device B may be inconveniently placed directly on the bottom wall 16 in some applications or may shift its position during shipping.
With reference to FIG. 4, the preferred embodiment of the ignition device B is shown. In this embodiment, the ignition device B is suitably purchased by the user for use in a fireplace or in an outdoor grill with charcoal briquettes without purchase of the entire fuel package A.
The ignition device B essentially comprises an ignitor 70, a wick 74, an ignition cream 78 and a base 100. The chemical composition of the ignitor 70 will be discussed in more detail later in the specification, but its primary function is to ignite the fuel.
A first end 72 of the wick 74 is attached to the ignitor 70. The wick 74 is generally centered on the base 100. The wick 74 can be extruded from a mixture of its various components or, if desired, it can be formed by mixing it with or impregnating it into a suitable carrier. Typical acceptable carrier materials include cotton, materials such as the strands of a floor mop, paper fabrics such as in paper towels, and paper materials impregnated with candle wax.
In the preferred embodiment, the ignition cream 78 may be used to attach the wick 74 to the ignitor 70 and to the base 100. In a preferred embodiment, the wick 74 and the ignition cream 78 have the same composition. The requirements of the wick 74 and ignition cream 78 are generally that they are ignitable with a match or a cigarette lighter, they are wind resistant, and they have sufficient heat generation ability so as to ignite the ignitor material 70. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-3, a special requirement of the wick 74 is that it will flex without breaking, i.e., it must evidence a high degree of flexibility. The ignition cream 78 is typically applied to a thickness of approximately 2 millimeters or thicker. One preferred embodiment of ignition cream 78 was composed of ten grams Fe, ten grams Al, ten grams Si, sixty grams KClO4, and thirty grams polyurethane resin binder, if desired. The Fe and Si can be added in the form of a ferrosilicon alloy. The polyurethane resin binder is preferably dissolved in hexane or hexane mixed with heptane. A presently preferred composition includes ten grams Al, twenty grams Fe, ten grams Si, forty grams KClO4, and thirty grams of a polyurethane binder.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-3, when the container 10 is packaged for shipping, such as when it is on the shelf of a store, a second end 76 of the wick is folded, along with the extension 62, within the container 10, as is shown in FIG. 2. It is this folding which makes the requirement of flexibility necessary. When the fuel package A is ready for ignition, the extension 62, along with the second end 76 of the wick 74 is pulled outwardly through an opening 80 in the side wall 18 of the container 10. The opening 80 is created by removing or deflecting a portion of the side wall 18 defined by a series of perforations 82.
A second opening 86 is located in the side wall 22 on the opposite side of the first opening 80. The second opening 86 is also created be removing or deflecting a portion of side wall 22 via the use of a series of perforations 88 in that side wall 22. In one embodiment of the invention, a strip of common adhesive tape 90 is used to keep the second opening 86 closed until the fuel package A is to be used. In a second embodiment, a second tab 96 is formed into side wall 18 to facilitate the opening of the first opening 80, similar to the opening of the pull tab 36 in the top wall 14.
With reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the operation of the fuel package A is as follows: after the fuel package A is placed in an appropriate container, such as a charcoal grill, the pull tab 36 is deflected upwardly so that the perforated edges 38 tear. The pull tab 36 is deflected so that it stays in a second position, deflected from the plane of the top wall 14. This allows the slot 54 to be exposed. By exposing the slot 54, the fuel 56 is also exposed to the outside air. The slot 54 creates, in conjunction with first and second openings 80, 86, a draft which contributes to the quick ignition and burning of the fuel 56.
Next, the first opening 80 is opened, either by means of second tab 96 or by perforations 82. Upon removing or deflecting the portion of side wall 18 covering first opening 80, extension 62 and the second end 76 of the wick 74 are easily folded downwardly and outwardly of the container. After opening the second opening 86 in a similar fashion, the second end 76 of wick 74 can be ignited by a conventional match or cigarette lighter. The wick 74 burns in a steady and controllable fashion until it reaches the ignitor 70. At this point, the ignitor 70 ignites, creating a point of intense heat sufficient to ignite the fuel 56. The fuel 56 burns within the container 10 until the combustible container 10 material is consumed. When the container 10 has lost its structural rigidity, the fuel briquettes 56 tend to tumble into a generally symmetrical pattern conducive for heat transfer and good cooking performance.
The use of the preferred embodiment of the ignition device B as disclosed in FIG. 4 will now be discussed. The ignition device B as shown in FIG. 4 would typically be sold in a package containing several ignition devices B. The user would remove one of the ignition devices B and place it in the midst of the fuel to be ignited. If used in a charcoal briquette application, the charcoal briquettes would be piled on top of the ignition device B while allowing the second end 76 of the wick 74 to be exposed. The second end 76 of the wick 74 would then be ignited with a match or a cigarette lighter. When the wick 76 burned down to the ignition cream 78 and ignitor 70, the ignitor 70 would generate sufficient heat to ignite the charcoal briquettes. If the ignition device B was to be used in a fireplace or campfire situation, the preferred method is to take a first log which is split in half, and place flat on the ground or fireplace grate with the flat side up. The ignition device B is placed on the flat surface of the first split log so that the bottom surface 102 of the base 100 is in contact with the flat surface of the first log. Next, second split log, perhaps the other half of the first split log, is placed atop the ignition device B, forming a sandwich-like arrangement. The second end 76 of the wick 74 is allowed to protrude from between the logs. When the wick 74 has been ignited by means of a match or a cigarette lighter, the ignitor 70 generates sufficient heat to ignite the logs.
Next, the composition of the ignitor 70 and the wick 74 will be discussed.
The ignitor 70 is fabricated from a special mixture of materials which include in weight percent from about 25% to 65% silica, from about 5% to 18% sodium nitrate, from about 1% to about 8% sodium hexafluorosilicate or cryolite, from about 15% to about 40% aluminum, and from about 2% to about 20% iron oxide.
The ignitor 70 is produced from a thermite type of material which contains aluminum and iron oxide (the general reaction mechanism being illustrated by the formula--2Al+Fe2 O3 →Al2 O3 +2Fe) to which has been added various other materials for the purpose of controlling the rate of the thermite reaction. In this regard, the above-described formulation results in an ignitor 70 which is exceptionally well-suited for the practice of the instant invention. In the proper circumstances, it may be possible to control the rate of the thermite reaction by using materials other than those specified above. For example, various clays or charcoal may be substituted for the silica. The individual components which make up the ignitor 70 are mixed together with a suitable binder, such as sodium silicate, and formed into the desired configuration by conventional means.
The preferred composition used as the ignitor 70 comprises, in weight percent, about 50% silica, about 12% sodium nitrate, about 4% sodium hexafluorosilicate, about 29% aluminum and about 5% iron oxide.
The particle size of the various components of the ignitor 70 are selected so that upon ignition, the ignitor 70 burns at a relatively slow rate, generally at a rate about 1 inch per 40 seconds. In the practice of the present invention, a burning rate of from about 5 to 60 seconds per inch is desirable with excellent results being achieved when the burning rate ranges from about 30 to 50 seconds per inch.
The particle size of the silica is such that at least 90% passes through a 20 mesh Tyler screen. In practice, the silica component is made up of two different mixes of silica particles. For example, a typical silica formulation comprises 90% of type A silica (as defined below) and 10% of type B silica (as defined below).
About 0.8-1% retained on a 20 mesh screen
About 27% retained on a 30 mesh screen
About 62% retained on a 40 mesh screen
About 10% retained on a 50 mesh screen
About 0.2% retained on a 70 mesh screen
About trace retained on a 100 mesh screen
About trace retained on a 140 mesh screen
About 0.3% retained on a 20 mesh screen
About 5.8% retained on a 30 mesh screen
About 21.4% retained on a 40 mesh screen
About 44.8% retained on a 50 mesh screen
About 21.5% retained on a 70 mesh screen
About 3.8% retained on a 100 mesh screen
About 1.6% retained on a 140 mesh screen
About 0.8% retained on a 200 mesh screen
Both the sodium nitrate and the sodium hexafluorosilicate are sized such that they essentially all pass through an 80 mesh screen.
The iron powder is usually sized such that it passes through a 100 mesh screen.
The aluminum powder is sized such that it has a particle size ranging from about 0.01 to about 1.0 mm.
The various components of the ignitor 70 are mixed together and formed into the desired shape using a suitable binder. A typical binder is sodium silicate.
The ignitor 70 is fabricated so that its ignition temperature is in the range of about 1500� F. to about 2000� F. with the preferred ignition temperature being about 1750� F. Upon ignition, the ignitor 70 produces a temperature of about 2750� F. By utilizing an ignitor 70 of this type, it is possible to efficiently ignite a fuel such as charcoal, which is used for the purposes hereinbefore described.
In practice, the wick 74 and ignition cream 78 are generally composed of the same materials in the same relative amounts so that they will ignite at a low temperature, such as that generated by a match. Their most important feature is that they are applied to at least a portion of the surface of the ignitor 70. A typical ignition cream 78 comprises a mixture, in weight percent, of from about 10% to about 40% of an oxidizer, such as potassium nitrate (KNO3), sodium nitrate (NaNO3), manganese dioxide or the like, potassium perchlorate (KClO4), potassium chlorate (KClO3), from about 5% to about 30% aluminum, from about 10% to about 40% iron, from about 5% to about 40% silicon together with a suitable binder, such as from about 10% to about 40% polyurethane resin in a water emulsion or organic solvent.
The oxidizer is preferably employed in an amount ranging between about 30 to about 60 percent of stoichiometric (based on the amount of metal present). In practice, the preferred oxidizer is potassium perchlorate.
The metallic components are preferable utilized in powdered form. In this regard, it is preferred to use atomized aluminum, and powdered iron and silicon or ferrosilicon alloy.
The preferred binder is polyurethane, but other binders which may be employed include, acrylic emulsions, acrylic solutions with organic solvents, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethel cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polysulfide, silicones, polyethyloxazoline, polyvinyl acetate, and polyamide resin. The ignition cream 78 is compounded so that it will preferably ignite at a temperature of from about 500� F. to about 1000� F. and generate from about 2000� F. to about 3000� F. when burning. In one preferred embodiment, the ignition cream is ignited by a match flame and burns at a temperature sufficiently high to ignite thermite-like mixtures.
In addition to aiding ignition of the ignitor 70, the ignition cream 78 can serve to bond the wick 74 to the ignitor 70 and to the extension 62.
The invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment. Obviously, alterations and modifications will occur to others upon a reading and understanding of this specification. It is intended to include all such modifications and alterations insofar as they come within the scope of the appended claims or the equivalents thereof.

Joyce Morgan
Founder/Owner of Morgan Consulting Services, LLC
Joyce Morgan is President of Morgan Consulting Services, LLC. Joyce began her consulting practice in 2006 as a natural progression from her career with OFCCP. Joyce retired from OFCCP in August 2005 after 26+ years. She began her career with OFCCP in 1979 moving quickly through the ranks to management serving as Assistant District Director, District Director and finally Deputy Regional Director for the two largest regions—Dallas, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois—covering approximately 70% of the entire United States. This progression placed her in a constant mobile position allowing her to work in 4 of the current 6 regions of OFCCP—a plus obviously as no region is alike. Joyce's career with OFCCP, coupled with her consulting practice, makes her one of the unique consultants and definitely an expert in OFCCP regulations and the Agency's administration and implementation of the respective laws enforced. Her relationship building carried over from her OFCCP management roles to the Federal contracting community and obviously serves both factions very well.
