The present invention concerns treatment of water-containing reservoirs, the water therein containing heavy metal ions that may stain the reservoir surfaces. More specifically, the invention concerns treatment of toilet bowls with a cleaning composition including a water-dissipatable polyester polymer, the polyester polymer concentration in the bowl water after a flush being in an amount effective to capture the heavy metal ions in the bowl water, thereby inhibiting staining. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the polyester polymer contained in the cleaning composition complexes a perfume, the perfume being released in dilute solution as in the bowl, whereby a fragrance bloom is provided to the environment and whereby the polyester polymer is available in the bowl water, having released the sequestered perfume, to capture the heavy metal ions present in the bowl water.
The polyester polymers found to be of utility in the practice of the present invention are water-dissipatable polymers such as disclosed in U.S. Pat.No. 4,335,220 to Coney entitled "Sequestering Agents and Compositions Produced Therefrom." According to the Coney patent, certain polymeric polyesters that comprise the reaction products of (a) at least one difunctional dicarboxylic acid; (b) at least one difunctional sulfomonomer containing at least one metal sulfonate group attached to an aromatic nucleus, the functional groups being hydroxy, carboxyl or amino, and (c) a glycol or a glycol and diamine mixture, the diamine having two --NRH groups and the glycol containing two --CH2 OH groups of which at least 0.1 mole percent, based on the total mole percent of hydroxy or hydroxy and amino equivalents, is a poly(ethylene glycol) having the structural formula H(OCH2 -CH2)n OH, n being an integer of 2 and about 500, with the proviso that the mole percent of the poly(ethylene glycol) within the range is inversely proportional to the quantity of n within the range, said polyester as defined above having an inherent viscosity of at least about 0.1 as defined in the Coney patent and including the reaction products based on the ester forming or esteramide derivatives of said reactants (a), (b), and (c), are suitable to sequester finely divided water insoluble, hydrophobic, deformable organic substances of low dipole moment, i.e., from 0 to 1.8. Examples of such substances are recited by Coney at column 6, lines 12-21 and include sucrose esters, aromatic organic compounds, aliphatic or alicyclic organic compounds, paraffins, vegetable oils, etc. The Coney patent is incorporated herein by reference.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,779,993 to Kibler et al; 3,734,874 to Kibler et al and 4,233,196 to Sublett also each relate to compositions comprising an aqueous dissipation of polymers described as linear, water dissipatable, meltable polyesters or polyester-amides prepared from the reaction of glycol, dicarboxylic acid, and difunctional monomer components. Each of these patents disclose that the difunctional sulfomonomer component of the polyesters or polyesteramides therein disclosed may advantageously be a dicarboxylic acid or ester thereof containing a metal sulfonate group, a glycol containing a metal sulfonate group or a hydroxy acid containing a metal sulfonate group, the metal ion of the sulfonate salt being Na+, Li+, Mg+, Ca++, Cu++, Ni++, Fe++, Fe+++, or the like.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,304,900 and 4,304,901 to O'Neill et al also each disclose water-dissipatable polyesters or polyesteramides wherein at least one part of the monomeric components from which there is derived is a polycarboxylic acid or polyhydric alcohol containing a sulfonic acid salt moiety derived from a nitrogen containing base, the polymers being useful as adhesives, coatings, films and the like.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,452,713 to Small; 4,374,572, 4,302,350, and 4,428,872 each to Callicott; 4,087,360 to Faust et al; 4,283,300 to Kurtz; and 4,049,467 and 4,129,423 each to Rubin disclose managanese stain removal/retardation methods and compositions, suitable for use, for example, in connection with toilet cleaning and automatic dishwashing using an oxidizing agent.
The Callicott, Faust et al and Kurtz patents concern the use of polymeric materials, e.g., polyacrylics, partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamides, sodium polyacrylates, and ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymers. Small concerns the use of glassy phosphate, while Rubin concerns the use of dihydroxy maleic acid, dihydroxy tartaric acid, and their alkali metal salts.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,721,629 to Goodenough discloses a composition and method for removing ion stains from porcelain, the composition containing a chelate agent able to couple Fe+++ and a soluble Fe++ salt, the composition having a pH between 1.5 and 4.5.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for treating water-containing reservoirs, the water in the reservoir containing a staining concentration of heavy metal ions.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a composition adapted for use in said method wherein a water-dissipatible polyester is administered to the reservoir in an amount to inhibit staining of the reservoir by the heavy metal ions.
Yet another object of the present invention is to sequester a perfume with the polyester in the composition, said perfume being released to the atmosphere subsequent to treatment of the reservoir.
These and other objects and advantages will be more readily apparent upon reading the detailed description of the invention, a summary of which follows.
According to the method of the present invention, a water-dissipatible polyester polymer which is the reaction product of (a) a difunctional acid, (b) a difunctional sulfonomer, and (c) a glycol or glycol and diamine mixture, the polymer having an inherent viscosity (as hereinafter defined) of at least 0.1, preferably above about 0.3, is dispensed into the water-containing reservoir in a concentration effective to capture heavy metals contained therein. The polymer concentration in the reservoir is preferably from about 40 ppb to about 100 ppm. The polyester may be incorporated in a cleaning composition containing from about 0.05 to about 8% of the polymer and up to about 15% of a surfactant. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the composition contains a perfume which the polymer sequesters, and which is released from the polyester in the reservoir and at the concentrations of the polymer therein. A major portion of the perfume, generally insoluble in water, floats to the surface of the water, and is then evaporatable, imparting a pleasing fragrance to the atmosphere.
Public water supplies as well as private water supplies, for example, water from wells, contain trace levels of various heavy metal ion impurities, including, for example, Fe+++, Mn+++ and Cu++. Iron and copper pipe present in homes and commercial buildings also places heavy metal ions into the water supply. Over time the presence of such ions causes staining of reservoirs in the home and in commercial buildings, especially porcelain reservoirs such as toilet bowls, urinals, bathtubs, sinks, basins and the like. Typically, from about 0.5 to about 500 ppm of these heavy metal ions in the water supply is sufficient to cause staining.
In one type of cleaner for such reservoirs, an aqueous solution of an active cleaning constituent or mixture of such constituents, typically anionic or nonionic surfactants, is employed. These constituents clean the subject reservoir by solubilizing soil deposits. By and large, this type of cleaning solution is not effective in preventing staining by the offending heavy metal ions.
Another type of cleaning composition incorporates acids, e.g., hydrochloric acid, which ionize in solution, and which are effective in removing and/or preventing staining. Disadvantageously, most surfactants are not compatible with such acid constituent, and the stain-removing benefit of the acid cannot be combined with the cleaning power of the surfactant.
It has been found that certain polyester compounds are useful in retarding staining, when used in cleaning compositions of the first mentioned type, containing a surfactant or blend of surfactants.
The polyester polymer of the present invention are water-dissipatible, meltable polyesters of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,779,993 and 3,734,874 each to Kibler et al; 4,335,220 to Coney; 4,223,196 to Sublett, and 4,304,900 and 4,304,901 each to O'Neill, all of these patents being incorporated herein by reference thereto.
Accordingly, the reaction product of polymers suitable for use with the present invention may be the reaction product of (a) a difunctional dicarboxylic acid, (b) a difunctional sulfomonomer, and (c) a glycol or a mixture of glycol and diamine, the polymer having an inherent viscosity (as defined in U.S. Pat. No. 4,335,220 to Coney) of at least 0.1, preferably about 0.3, the term "inherent viscosity" referring to viscosity determinations made at 25� C. using 0.25 grams of polymer per 100 ml. of a solvent composed of 60% by weight phenol and 40% by weight tetrachlorethane.
The difunctional dicarboxylic acid reactant (a) can be aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic dicarboxylic acids, for example, succinic, glutaric, adipic, fumaric, maleic, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic, terephthalic, and phthalic acids. Mixtures of two or more acids can be used. The corresponding anhydrides, esters and acid chlorides of the above acids are also suitable.
The difunctional sulfomonomer reactant (b) can be a dicarboxylic acid or ester containing a metal sulfonate group or a hydroxy acid containing a metal sulfonate group. Preferably, the metal ion is an alkali metal. The difunctional sulfomonomer (b) include sulfophthalic, sulfoterephthatic, sulfoisophthalic, and 4-sulfonaphthalene-2,7-dicarboxylic acids, and their corresponding esters. Also suitable are metallosulfoaryl sulfonates, e.g., 5-sodiosulfoisophthalic acid.
Aliphatic, alicyclic and alkylaryl glycols are suitable as reactant (c) herein, and include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, p-ethylenediol, 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol and the like. Two or more glycols can be used in the synthesis of the polyesters suitable herein. Diethylene glycol is preferred.
The polyester polymers suitable in the compositions of the present invention have a molecular weight of from about 10,000 to about 25,000. An example of the aforementioned polyester is the "AQ" polyester series, manufactured by Eastman Chemical Products, Inc., especially AQ 55D, wherein the suffix "D" denotes a dispersion of the polymer. The AQ polymers are available as solid pellets or as aqueous dispersions. The dispersions typically comprise 20-35% solids, and have viscosities in the range of 10-50 cps at 100 rpm. Also suitable for use herein are the AQ29 and AQ38 polymers.
It has been found that the polyester polymers herein recited may be included within a surfactant containing composition used in the cleaning of reservoirs, especially toilet bowls, to lessen the tendency of di- and trivalent metal ions as may be present in the water supplied to the reservoirs from staining the surfaces thereof, especially porcelain surfaces. It is critical, however, that the cleaning composition in which the polyester is included not contain significant levels of ionizable species, for example, ionizable acids, as the polymers are destabilized at higher ionic strengths. Preferably, the ionic strength of the cleaning composition should be less than 0.5 mol/liter. When destabilized, the polymer precipitates, making it ineffective for its intended activity but also possibly preventing proper operation of the automatic dispenser preferably used to deliver the composition to the reservoir.
The aqueous cleaning composition of the present invention comprises on a weight basis from about 1 to about 15%, preferably from about 2 to about 8%, of a nonionic or anionic surfactant and mixtures thereof; from about 0.05% to about 10% (active basis), preferably from 0.1 to about 3%, of the polyester polymer, and water. While optional, it is quite preferable to include perfume, typically less than about 2%, more specifically between 0.05 to 1.0% by weight, of an oil based perfume, and a dye, typically less than 5%, more specifically between 0.25 and 2% by weight. The polymer is provided as a dispersion in the cleaning composition.
It has been further found that perfumes included in the cleaning composition are sequestered by the polyester. This is demonstrated by the low intensity fragrance exhibited by perfume containing compositions of the present invention, prior to dilution in the reservoir.
Advantageously, when the cleaning composition is diluted, as by use in a water containing reservoir, there is a release or "bloom" of the perfume. While the mechanism is not fully understood, it is believed that the polymer, when present in aqueous solutions at quite dilute levels, either unravels to release the perfume or releases the perfume to preferentially capture the heavy metal ion. Preferably, the concentration of the polymer in aqueous solution in the reservoir suitable to obtain release of the perfume is from about 40 parts per billion to about 100 parts per million, most preferably from about 1 to about 50 ppm. Importantly, it has been found that dilution of the polymer as described above does not prevent capture of the offending heavy metal ions.
Any anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, or zwitterionic surfactant is suitable in the composition of the present invention, provided that ionization is insufficient in the case of the ionizable surfactants to interfere with the intended function of the polymer. Generally, however, the ionizable surfactants have a low degree of dissociation and, accordingly, do not jeopardize the activity of the polymer. Anionic and non-ionic surfactants are especially preferred.
Broadly, the anionic surfactants are water-soluble alkyl or alkylaryl compounds, the alkyl having from about 8 to about 22 carbons, including a sulfate or sulfonate substituent group that has been base-neutralized, typically to provide an alkali metal, e.g., sodium or potassium, or an ammonium anion, including, for example: (1) alkyl and alkylaryl sulfates and sulfonates having preferably 10 to 18 carbons in the alkyl group, which may be straight or branched chain, e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate; (2) alpha-olefin aryl sulfonates preferably having from about 10 to 18 carbons in the olefin, e.g., sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, which is a mixture of long-chain sulfonate salts prepared by sulfonation of C14-16 alpha-olefins and chiefly comprising sodium alkene sulfonates and sodium hydroxyalkane sulfonates; (3) sulfated and sulfonated monoglycerides, especially those derived from coconut oil fatty acids; (4) sulfate esters of ethoxylated fatty alcohols having 1-10 mols ethylene oxide, e.g., sodium polyoxyethylene (7 mol EO) lauryl ether sulfate, and of ethoxylated alkyl phenols having 10 mols ethylene oxide and 8 to 12 carbons in the alkyl, e.g., ammonium polyoxyethylene (4 mol EO) nonyl phenyl ether sulfate; (5) base-neutralized esters of fatty acids and isethionic acid, e.g., sodium lauroyl isethionate; (6) fatty acid amides of a methyl tauride, e.g., sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, (7) beta-acetoxy- or beta-acetamido-alkane sulfonates where the alkane has from 8 to 22 carbons, and (8) acyl sarcosinates having from 8 to 18 carbons in the acyl, e.g., sodium lauroyl sarcosinate.
The nonionics include (1) fatty alcohol alkoxylates, especially the ethoxylates, wherein the alkyl group has from 8 to 22, preferably 12 to 18, carbons, and typically 6 to 15 mol alkoxide per molecule, e.g., coconut alcohol condensed with about nine mols ethylene oxide; (2) fatty acid alkoxylates having from about 6 to about 15 mols alkoxylate, especially the ethoxylate; (3) alkylphenoxy alkoxylates, especially the ethoxylates, containing 6 to 12 carbons, preferably octyl or nonyl, in the alkyl, and having about 5 to 25, preferably 5 to 15 mols alkylene oxide per molecule, e.g., nonyl phenol ethoxylated with about 9.5 mols ethylene oxide (Igepal CO-630); (4) condensates of ethylene oxide with a hydrophobic base formed by condensation of propylene oxide with propylene glycol, e.g., nonionic surfactants of the Pluronic series manufactured by BASF Wyandotte, (5) condensates of ethylene oxide with an amine or amide; (6) fatty amine oxides, e.g., stearyl dimethyl amine oxide, and (7) alkylolamides.
Preferred anionics are the alkyl and alkylauryl sulfates and the alpha-olefin aryl sulfonates, while preferred nonionics are the fatty alcohol ethoxylates and the alkyl phenoxy ethoxylates Preferred dyes are FD&C Blue No.1 (Colour Index No. 42,090), FD&C Green No. 3 (Colour Index No. 42,053), Acid Blue 249 (Colour Index No. 74220), and Colour Index No. 52,015.
Typically, the perfume preferably incorporated in the composition of the present invention is a mixture of organic compounds admixed so that the comined odors of the individual components produce a pleasant or desired fragrance. While perfumes are generally mixtures of various materials, individual compounds may also be used as the perfume ingredient. The perfume compositions generally contain a main note or the "bouquet" of the perfume composition, modifiers which round off and accompany the main note, fixatives including odorous substances that lend a particular note to the perfume throughout each of the stages of evaporation, substances which retard evaporation, and top notes which are usually low-boiling, fresh-smelling materials.
Perfumery raw materials may be divided into three main groups: (1) the essential oils and products isolated from these oils; (2) products of animal origin; and (3) synthetic chemicals.
The essential oils consist of complex mixtures of volatile liquid and solid chemicals found in various parts of plants. Mention may be made of oils found in flowers, e.g., jasmine, rose, mimosa, and orange blossom; flowers and leaves, e.g., lavender and rosemary; leaves and stems, e.g., geranium, patchouli, and petitgrain; barks, e.g., cinnamon; woods, e.g., sandalwood and rosewood; roots, e.g., angelica; rhizomes, e.g., ginger; fruits, e.g., orange, lemon, and gergamot; seeds, e.g., aniseed and nutmeg; and resinous exudations, e.g., myrrh. These essential oils consist of a complex mixture of chemicals, the major portion thereof being terpenes, including hydrocarbons of the formula (C5 H8)n and their oxygenated derivatives. Hydrocarbons such as these give rise to a large number of oxygenated derivatives, e.g., alcohols and their esters, aldehydes and ketones. Some of the more important of these are geraniol, citronellol and terpineol, citral and citronellal, and camphor. Other constituents include aliphatic aldehydes and also aromatic compounds including phenols such as eugenol. In some instances, specific compounds may be isolated from the essential oils, usually by distillation in a commercially pure state, for example, geraniol and citronellal from citronella oil; citral from lemon-grass oil; eugenol from clove oil; linalool from rosewood oil; and safrole from sassafras oil. The natural isolates may also be chemically modified as in the case of citronellal to hydroxy citronellal, citral to ionone, eugenol to vanillin, linalool to linalyl acetate, and safrol to heliotropin.
Animal products used in perfumes include musk, ambergris, civet and castoreum, and are generally provided as alcoholic tinctures.
The synthetic chemicals include not only the synthetically made, also naturally occurring isolates mentioned above, but also include their derivatives and compounds unknown in nature, e.g., isoamylsalicylate, amylcinnamic aldehyde, cyclamen aldehyde, heliotropin, ionone, phenylethyl alcohol, terpineol, undecalactone, and gamma nonyl lactone.
Perfume compositions as received from the perfumery house may be provided as an aqueous or organically solvated composition, and may include as a hydrotrope or emulsifier a surface-active agent, typically an anionic or nonionic surfactant, in minor amount. The perfume compositions are quite usually proprietary blends of many different fragrance compounds. However, one of ordinary skill in the art, by routine experimentation, may easily determine whether such a proprietary perfume blend is suitably sequestered by the polyester in the compositions of the present invention.
The polyester polymer herein described are dispersible, not soluble, in water. The polymers are not easily dissipated in cold water, although in some instances cold water is preferred, depending on the particular reactants employed. Typically, dispersions of the polymer are made by adding solid polymer to water heated to about 175� to about 190� F., accompanied by stirring. The aforementioned Coney, Kibler, et al., and Sublett patents describe in greater detail preparation of these polymer dispersions.
A perfume-complexed polyester may be made by subsequently adding the perfume or a perfume solution to the cooled dispersion under conditions of shear.
It is preferred to admix an aqueous premix of the surfactant to the cooled polymer dispersion or the perfume-complexed polymer dispersion, under conditions of stirring.
When used as a toilet cleaning product, the composition of the present invention is preferably dispensed into the toilet tank on the occasion of a flush, the volume of water in the tank being sufficient to achieve adequate dilution to the concentration levels at which the polymer releases the perfume, for a perfume-complexed polymer. Suitable for use in combination with the subject composition is the dispenser described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,698,021 to Mack. Also suitable is the dispenser disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,660,231 to M. McElfresh, which is an example of a downstroke dispenser and discharges composition as the tank water level drops as a result of a flush. The Mack device is an upstroke dispenser that discharges composition as the tank water level rises during refilling of the tank, in which case the tank is the primary reservoir and the entire tank water volume is treated as to remove the offending ions.

Sausage is a favorite dinner meat, offering savory dishes of flavored pork, beef, chicken and turkey links. Italian sausage comes in hot and sweet varieties. A cookout for many people means there will be beer brats on the grill. There are many kinds of sausages including smoked sausages, kielbasa sausages and highly spiced andouille sausages, which are a Cajun variety. Some sausages are already cooked when bought, while others must be cooked thoroughly before eating. One of the easiest ways to cook sausage is in the slow cooker.
Things You'll Need
- Nonstick spray
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 bud garlic, chopped
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 1 jar spaghetti sauce, 24-26 ounces
- Instant-read thermometer
Spray the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick spray.
Place chopped onions, peppers and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Arrange kielbasa links on top of the vegetables.
Pour spaghetti sauce over the kielbasa sausages and vegetables.
Cover and cook on low for six hours.
Check temperature in thick part of sausage with an instant-read thermometer. Sausages are safely cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit, with the exception of turkey and chicken sausages, which must be cooked to 165 degrees.
Serve cooked sausage on buns or atop pasta, potatoes or rice.
Tips & Warnings
- Cook bratwurst in a slow cooker with lots of onions and beer.
- Put andouille sausage in the slow cooker with onions, garlic, bell peppers and seasonings to make jambalaya, gumbo or etouffee.
- Combine a savory sausage with navy or great northern beans for a winter dish of cassoulet.
- Beware the hot sausage when it is first pierced after being cooked. Juices under pressure can squirt out. To avoid this, remove sausages from the slow cooker with tongs and allow to cool slightly before eating.

Lopez missing personal barber in Ramirez
Lopez missing personal barber in Ramirez
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Having sported close-cropped hair as a Giant, left-hander Javier Lopez reported to camp resembling a fifth Beatle. Blame the trade last December that sent right-hander Ramon Ramirez and outfielder Andres Torres to the New York Mets for outfielder Angel Pagan. Lopez explained that Ramirez trimmed hair when he wasn't throwing in the bullpen. He gave Lopez a final once-over as last season ended. Lopez said that he allowed his hair to grow during the offseason and was awaiting a Spring Training session with his personal barber. Of course, Lopez had no idea as the winter began that Ramirez would be dealt.
Lopez now has no choice but to seek a new stylist. "It's tough to get a flight to Port St. Lucie [the Mets' spring home in Florida] and get back in time for the workout," Lopez said.

ARFI is a non-governmental organization with trade register number - 2984 à Folha 0022 do Livro A-14 do Cartório de Títulos e Documentos da Comarca de Ilhéus - Bahia - Brazil. CNPJ - 08.631.232 /0001-50 (Cadastro de Pessoa Juridica). Date of Foundation: 5th of June 2005
The people behind the ARFI love nature and are committed to preserve the Atlantic Rainforest in Southern Bahia, Brazil. The founders of the ARFI are also the founders of Jungle LTD, a small Swiss company, that launched SuddenRush Guarana (www.suddenrushshot.com) in 2006. We strongly believe that we must be the change in the world we wish to see and launched SuddenRush Guarana with the sole interest to fund projects that help preserve the Atlantic Rainforest. Of course we do know that we must run a profitable business - but profit is not our main concern!
Our main concern is a healthy Atlantic Rainforest in collaboration with our healthy fair trade project. Everything and everybody involved in our project in of an equal importance. Because our knowledge of the local situation was rather small, we looked around for aware people that could support our ideas. At the end we teamed up with local and truly aware university professors, biologists and geologist and people with lot's of experience in how to run a sustainable project, where all parties involved and most of all the Atlantic Rainforest profits.
We need to create new structures, because our old habits seem to kill our planet! Thank you or "Obrigado" for your support!

William H. Macy
Marisa Tomei
Way back either a gazillion years ago or two thousand years ago depending on your religion and which bible you have handy, Adam was pondering, questioning his values, and wondering if there was more to life than hanging around the Garden of Eden watching Eve horse assing around with that damn snake in the grass. He wondered if the rest of his days would be spent doing nothing more than eating bananas and oranges, watching his hair get more grey, and trying to figure out what it was about a certain snake that captivated Eve.
For a long while, most of the stories Hollywood concocted on the subject matter revolved around the one man one mid life crises at a time dilemma. Sometimes the plot would center around one man's lust for another woman, sometimes another man's woman, or sometimes his daughter's best friend or as in the case of Blame It On Rio, your best friend's daughter.
Lester's undoing was that he just never took the time to realize that the best way to discover yourself after forty is to go on an outing with your best buddies forever. I mean, didn't he at some point see City Slickers where Mitch (Billy Crystal) and his pals Phil ( Daniel Stern) and Ed (Bruno Kirby)went on a Cattle Drive to rediscover and reinvent their sad and pathetic lives? If Lester was that horny, he could have gone on a Cattle Drive, found himself and possibly a nice looking cowgirl like Bonnie Rayburn (Helen Slater) to lust after just like Phil did. And let me tell you, I would have taken Supergirl over Mena Suvari any old day of the week. At any rate, it's way too late for Lester but not too late for our newest group of fifty somethings plus one. Plus one? Well, you'll see.
Although Lester was never lucky enough to go on a buddy driven cattle drive, Hollywood knows a good thing when they have one and once again have brought to the silver screen another saga of middle aged men feeling as if they have wasted their entire lives without doing anything interesting or exciting and are just biding time until old age, arthritis, and low box office receipts, sink them once and for all. For this 2007 replay of the men in flux plot, Touchstone Pictures lined up four familiar names that have all had big screen successes at various times in their careers. Our would be explorers this time around are Dougie (Tim Allen. Age 53), Woody (John Travolta Age 52), Dudley (William H. Macy Age 57) and Bobby (Martin Lawrence (Age 42), thus making Bobby the aforementioned plus one.
Dougie is a Dentist who does nothing but clean and pull teeth all day and has trouble relating to his kid who thinks the old man is a total bore.
So were they all once members of a motorcycle gang when they were younger? No, they weren't. The reason they are the Wild Hogs is because Dougie's wife sewed the Wild Hogs emblems on their leather jackets to make them feel better. To feel better about what exactly we are never told.
Later, we get another comedy bit where the guys go skinny dipping, and shortly after that they meet up with what turns out to be their main antagonists, a real genuine practicing over-the-hill motorcycle type gang called the "Del Fuegos," who spend most of their time sitting in their favorite bar. The gang is led by Jack (Ray Liotta Age 53), and he and his bbf's (best buddies forever) wastes no time in sending the Hogs on their way but not until after they've stolen Dudley's motorcycle. Shortly thereafter Woody decides to sneak back to the bar to reclaim Dudley's cycle, and in the process accidentally burns the bar down, an important detail that he fails to mention to the guys, just in case doing so might muck up the plot or the suspense if there really were any.
Tim Allen on the other hand, just doesn't have the knack to make you sympathize with his character the way Billy Crystal has always been able to in his films. Tim Allen's film career has been totally dependent on putting him in some outlandish situation and seeing how well he copes with it. In other words, he can only be as good as the script is, as was the case in Galaxy Quest. The strange thing is that although Allen seems to have top billing and is used extensively in the first twenty minutes to set up the premise, once the trip gets under way he just as well have headed off in a different direction considering how much he is given to do.
Bill Macy, who is the best of a very sad lot should have known better than to get involved or at least should have read the script before signing on the dotted line We like him, we like Dudley, but like everything else we just don't care. And his impending romance with Marisa Tomei is never anything close to being believable. There are times when both of them looked as if they wished they were somewhere else.
But for anyone older than 10 or eleven, I advise that you only watch this at your own peril. And maybe I just figured out what really was bothering Lester in American Beauty. Perhaps he had seen the future and saw himself riding a motorcycle to the west coast with a gang of misfits. That would be more than enough to depress anybody. And because of that I have no choice but to offer Wild Hogs my grade, and that would be a D+. If only they could have figured out a way for a motorcycle to give birth to a baby calf, it might have all worked out in the end. There's always the unfortunate possibility of a sequel to accomplish that though.. I dread the thought.

For the last week and a half I have been out helping a friend and his wife try and tag a buck in the Book Cliffs of Utah. His wife drew the tag with 0 points so yes it can be done but I have found out that to draw it you really don't need to care if you do or not and being female with no experience helps. I have only been putting in for the muzzle loader hunt in this unit for the last 11 years and am still waiting. So here is the story. The first two days Jody and her husband had been out in the hills and only were able to find some small bucks and were not able to get close enough to seal the deal on any of them. They called me Sunday night and asked me what I thought and against my better judgment I said that I would meet them down there Monday night and that we would find here a good one. They didn't get to the meeting spot until 11pm and we still had a 2 hour drive to where I wanted them to start hunting. Tuesday morning found us just driving around and scoping out likely prospects without finding any real nice bucks. Wednesday through last Saturday was about the same and then we found a nice buck. Sunday found me and Jody crawling through the sagebrush in the early morning trying to get her close enough for a shot but the buck busted us before we were within 50 yards. We didn't see him Monday but I figured that he would be in the same spot sooner than later so we got into a good shooting area early Tuesday morning. The sun was up and it was getting hot and Jody was getting discouraged. I almost had to tie her to a tree to get her to stay where we were sitting at, it turned out to be a long day. At around 7pm she noticed something walking to wards us and poked me with a stick and motioned the direction that she had seen the movement. About 30 minutes later here he came feeding through the sage. I didn't even have to tell her to shoot. She was on her knees at full draw. When she released the arrow I watched it go deep into the vitals of the buck and knew that soon we would have one on the ground. We waited for a hour and then took up the trail. We found the buck about a 100 yards down the draw. I guess that if I can't draw the tags I may as well be the guide to those who can. So here is the happy hunter with her prize.

Our expert recruiters work with hundreds of recognised employers in the private and public sector. Search from temporary and permanent jobs and find the right role for you.
For over 30 years, Randstad Financial & Professional has been helping thousands of organisations find and recruit the right people.
We approach the recruitment of Accounting and Financial Services professionals by following the following 5-step process:
Right solution
We work with each of our clients on an individual basis – adapting our service offering to suit each specific requirement.
Our approach is completely tailored which means that we can adopt a contingent staffing approach, run digital or traditional recruitment campaigns, headhunt talent or use assessment/testing centres. We'll take the necessary steps to ensure we find you the right person for the job using the right methods for your needs.
Right consultant
Our sector specialist consultants work in small, agile teams to ensure maximum attention can be given to each of our clients and candidates. Many of our consultants have been with us for over a decade and have considerable experience and account management skills to help us maintain exceptional service standards.
Right candidate
Our goal is to deliver the best professionals who are 'in', not just 'on' the market.
Unlike many other recruitment firms we don't just post jobs to the same old job boards and wait for the response.
Instead we invest hundreds of thousands of pounds in our own digital prescence - and as a consequence we are a top of mind recruitment brand on both social media and the web, driving engagement with both active and passive job seekers through the use of viral infographics, videos and 'must read' content.
We also take an old school approach and proactively find you the best candidate by using our established networks and affiliate relationships with industry and professional bodies.
Right choice
We reach many but we'll only shortlist the best. We meet with every shortlisted candidate to verify their qualifications, references and work eligibility. A unique, 5-stage vetting process matches agreed criteria through the pre-engagement, match, selection, orientation and engagement phases.
This ensures that the professionals we recommend already meet the key requirements for your role before you meet them, saving you time.
Right result
Ultimately, the value we add to your organisation is based on us finding you the right person, cost effectively, and within a short timeframe.
Whether we simply introduce you to the right candidates or remain involved through assessment days, interviews, offer-negotiation and beyond, our objective is to add value at every stage.
Find out more about how we target candidates to suit your business.
If you have a permanent, temporary, contract or interim staffing requirement, please contact us and speak to one of our consultants today.

Tyrion awakens to a changed situation. King Joffrey doles out rewards to his subjects. As Theon stirs his men to action, Luwin offers some final advice. Brienne silences Jaime; Arya receives a gift from Jaqen; Dany goes to a strange place; Jon proves himself to Qhorin.
Plot Summary
After the battle, Joffrey gives his grandfather the title of Hand of the King and "Savoir of King's Landing." During the ceremony, Ser Loras asks Joffrey to wed his sister and grants him his wish. Sansa is relieved that she will no longer be the queen, but Lord Baelish warns her that she is still not safe. He offers her an escape. Meanwhile, Tyrion awakens and learns that he is no longer the Hand of the King and no longer has any allies except Shae and his squire, Podrick Payne. Shae consoles him and offers a chance to run away with her, but Tyrion chooses to stay because he loves playing the game. Outside Harranhal, Arya meets Jagen once more. He offers her a chance to teach her how to kill like him. She is tempted, but declines his offer so she can find her family. He gives her a coin and tells her to give it to a stranger in a place called Braavos if she needs him.
Stannis returns to the safety of his land after escaping the battle. He blames Melisandre for pressuring him to declare war. He attempts to choke her to death, but she calms him down. She then instructs him to look into bowl of burning coal. When Stannis looks into the fire, he has a vision that restores his faith in the Red Priestess and the Lord of Light. Across the narrow sea, Daenerys enters the house of the Undying. There, she finds herself in the vision of a ruined Great Hall in King's Landing. She steps out of the vision and finds herself in a tent where she is reunited with Drogo, who is unsure of whether they are seeing is real or not. Daenerys hears her dragons and she finds them chained to a pedestal. Pyat Pree and binds Daenerys with chains made of magic. He tells her he plans to keep her their because she and the dragons enhance his powers.
Daenerys orders her dragons to kill the warlock with their firebreath. Pyat's death cancels the magic, and Daenerys is freed. She gathers her followers and finds Xaro in bed with Doreah, who had betrayed her. She takes Xaro's key and opens his vault to find nothing inside. Then she takes Xaro and Doreah and locks them both inside. She uses all of Xaro's property to buy a boat to Westros. In Robb Stark's camp, he weds Talisa despite his mother's warnings. In Winterfell, Theon is surrounded by Robb's men. He tries to rally his men, but they betray him instead and stab Ludwin. Later, Brann finds Ludwin dying by the Godswood. He tells them to head to the wall. Over the wall, Qhorin pushes Jon into a fight. When Jon kills him, the wildlings free Jon's hands and show him wildling's main force. Meanwhile, Sam gets isolated from his companions and finds a horde of white walkers.

Project Management in the Creative World
Jun 14, 2010 Project Management
Project management is relatively new in the creative world; traditionally it has been used in industries such as construction and engineering, and, let's face it, most creative minds don't like process. But in our world, project management is a large part of creativity. Managing the project and relationship of the client, the team and all other stakeholders is critical to any project's success, especially in the creative world.
An account manager is on board to build the relationship with the client to initiate a project; the creative team produces the work. A project manager acts as the core of the project; we lead the team from project initiation through to the completion of the project. It is the meaning behind our signature line: "Right brains that can be left alone".
Project managers can get your project moving. For example, if you were to ask a creative person or team how long it would take for them to produce an idea, you would be unlikely to get a firm response, particularly without providing them with the parameters of the idea. A project manager can identify and communicate to stakeholders the project requirements, identify the various needs of stakeholders, as well as balancing competing constraints related to the project, including:
- cost,
- schedule,
- scope,
- quality,
- risks,
- resources, etc.
A project manager can work with the creative team to ensure those objectives are met during the planning and execution of each project. This allows your creative team to be creative and produce the work without worrying about developing schedules, managing budgets, finding resources – all the organizational aspects of the job.
A good project manager provides a human touch your project, encouraging team members when morale is flagging, and has the ability to explain to creative teams and the client and other non-creative types why they produced the work in question. Interfacing with the creative team, the client and other stakeholders to ensure your project success.
Great things take time. Including a project manager as a part of your creative process can allow for seamless integration in collaboration giving your right brains the freedom to be creative!

U.S. Women Down Mexico 3-0 to Open Women's Gold Cup
PASADENA, Calif. (Sunday, October 27, 2002) – The U.S. Women's National Team opened the 2002 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup, the qualifying tournament for the 2003 Women's World Cup, with a solid 3-0 victory over Mexico at the Rose Bowl. Aly Wagner, Cindy Parlow and Shannon MacMillan scored for the U.S. as it took control of Group 1 in this eight-team tournament, which will send its top two finishers to the 4th Women's World Cup next year in China.
The USA possessed the ball well on a bumpy field and wore down a committed Mexican team over the 90 minutes, playing almost the entire match in the Mexican half as the Tricolores stayed compact in a tight defense that was marshaled by sweeper Monica Gonzales of the Boston Breakers.
"I'm pleased with the way we played in the first half even though we created fewer chances, and then of course, the opposite was true in the second half when we created chances, but actually didn't play as well," said U.S. head coach April Heinrichs. "Our game fell apart a little bit and one of the last things I said to the team tonight was that we certainly left the door open for a better performance on Tuesday."
The USA opened the scoring in just the fifth minute as Tiffany Roberts did well to cross from the right side. The ball bounced around in the penalty area to Kristine Lilly, who dropped a short pass to Wagner at the top of the penalty area. The Santa Clara University senior smacked the bouncing ball first-time across the goal and into the lower left corner from 19 yards out, skidding the well-struck shot past Mexican goalkeeper Jennifer Molina.
The USA had several quality chances before it got the second goal, the first coming in the 19th minute when Julie Foudy hit the right post with a header off a Hamm cross. Hamm almost set up Lilly in the 35th minute, but her diving header flew wide left. In the 40th minute off a free kick from the right side, Hamm chipped the ball into the penalty area and Parlow met it on the slide, but the ball bounced up, hit the top of the cross bar and rolled out of bounds. Soon after, Reddick and Lilly played a great one-two in the left side of the penalty area and Reddick drove a cross to the far post, but Hamm could not quite reach it, and smashed her half-volley into the side netting.
The USA finally broke through in the 42nd minute as Wagner played Hamm behind the defense on the right side with a great slip pass. Hamm gathered herself and struck a hard cross to the near post, where the charging Lilly drew Molina and defender Martha Moore, but the ball skipped past all of them to Parlow, who scored perhaps the easiest goal of her career, touching the ball into the open net from two yards out. It was Parlow's 53rd international goal, tying her with legend Carin Gabarra for fifth on all-time goals list. Parlow has played 112 games for the national team while Gabarra scored her 53 goals in 117 matches.
It was the first match at Rose Bowl for the U.S. women since the historic Women's World Cup Final on July 10, 1999 and the USA's first Women's World Cup qualifying match since Aug. 21, 1994, when the U.S. earned its berth to the 1995 Women's World Cup in Sweden. As host, the USA qualified automatically for the 1999 Women's World Cup.
Mexico took only two shots on the night, the first in the 39th minute, a strike from 30 yards out that was easily saved by Briana Scurry. The second was a volley by Maribel Dominguez late the game that was not close to the net.
Angela Hucles came on for Roberts at halftime and played a great 45 minutes on both sides of the ball, but was denied two goals by Molina. In the 59th minute, Hucles ripped shot with her left foot from the top of the penalty area that took a deflection, but Molina scrambled to turn the ball around the right post. In the 89th minute, Hucles bounced a dangerous header at goal off a cross from the left side, but once again Molina was there, batting the ball away for a corner kick. Molina, stepping in for usual Mexican #1 Linnea Quinones of the San Jose CyberRays, had a fine match, making nine saves and came up big in the 69th minute when she pushed a heavy shot from Shannon MacMillan wide right. She also denied MacMillan in the 77th, somehow redirecting a shot that had whizzed through goalmouth traffic.
A deflected shot by Lilly hit the right post in the 75th minute, but MacMillan and Lilly would finally get their rewards in the third minute of stoppage time, as Lilly fired a wicked shot from outside penalty area on the left side. Molina, who had turned everything away from danger thus far, finally made a mistake, saving the shot with an extended dive, but spilled the ball in front of the net and the framing MacMillan buried it the open net from a sharp angle.
"In the second half, we created a lot more chances and we need to finish our opportunities, but you have to look at the positives," said U.S forward Mia Hamm. "We got three points, we got three goals against a very good Mexican team and this is just like a World Cup tournament and that's the way you have to approach it. Losing attractively in a tournament like this doesn't help you, it doesn't get you the points. So we are happy with the three points, but we know we have to play better to win this tournament."
While Mexico rarely crossed midfield in the second half, the U.S. defense, and particularly Joy Fawcett, did have to run down several counter attacks as the game got away from the Americans just a bit. Despite some skillfull play throughout the match, the Mexicans, who now turn their attention to finishing second in the group and the berth in the semifinals that comes with it, could not break through the U.S. back line.
"It was not such a satisfying result for us," said Heinrichs. "We felt the game got a little reckless in the second half, and while we had chances, we didn't finish them. What you see in Mexico is every time we play them, they come back with a little more determination, a little more grit, more organization and probably a little more optimism about what they can create offensively."
In the first game of the doubleheader and the first match of the tournament, Panama defeat Trinidad &Tobago, 4-2, in a wild end-to-end match. T&T played most of the game with 10 players as Leslie-Ann James got a red card in the 38th minute for an off-the-ball incident following the second Panama goal and forced her team to play short-handed for the rest of the match. Amarelis DeMera was the difference for Panama, scoring three goals on three great strikes to put the game away. All four teams will play again on Tuesday night in Fullerton as the USA takes on T&T at 7 p.m., followed by Panama vs. Mexico at 9 p.m. Both matches will be televised live on Fox Sports World, and the U.S. match will be availabe via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics.

Wood stain consists of "pigment," or color medium, in a carrier with a "binder" (a resin, alkyd or oil) that will attach the pigment to a surface. Unlike paint, which is formulated to make an opaque film on the surface of a material, wood stain is made mainly of pigment and solvent. The small proportion of binder makes it possible for wood stain to sink into the openings left as the wood dries. This provides a transparent tint that leaves the features of the surface, like the grain and imperfections, visible in the finished piece. At the same time, it lays down a uniform color or alters the original coloring of the wood.
Wood stain is effective when the underlying surface, or substrate, is properly prepared. Since wood is an organic material, its porosity is dependent on the type of wood and how "green" it is. Hardwoods like oak and teak are denser and accept stain less readily than softwoods like pine and cedar. Freshly cut wood contains more moisture which fills pores and repels the oil or resin used as a binder in the stain. Fully cured hardwood will accept stain if left for a longer period but softwoods need less time to "set up" and will most probably need to be sealed to insure a uniform tint. This can be done with wood sealer, mineral spirits or water, depending on the type of stain. If wood has been coated with a preservative like paraffin, it must be removed before staining. Sanding with fine grit sandpaper will also prepare the surface of the wood for stain. Remember also that the end of wood, usually at the foot of legs or end of an arm rest absorbs more solvent, meaning that it will get darker faster than the linear grain of the wood.
Wood stain is available in oil-based and alkyd preparations. Oil-based stains use resin, linseed oil or lacquer as a binding agent and require the use of an organic solvent like turpentine or acetone. Alkyd stains are water-soluble. Solvents sink down into the wood and cure while the solvent attaches the pigment to it. When the solvent evaporates, some of the pigment has cured into the binder. The excess pigment is usually wiped off of the wood to achieve the desired color and uniform shading. Since wood stain sinks into the wood, it will not protect the surface and a protective coating of wax, varnish or polyurethane is applied to finish the job. Since different wood stains dry at different rates, read the directions carefully to make sure the stain is dry before applying the finish coat.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was applying for a permanent resident status and i had my appointment in cd Juarez, but it was denied when i was trying to get back i got deported but i still came back, i was out of the usa for about a month. Do i qualify?I was referring to DACA
If you otherwise qualified for DACA, then the issue is whether your departure was "brief casual and innocent" from the US. The continuance residence period for DACA can be met even if with short absences from US. However USCIS has specific guidance which provides unfortunately that if the absence was because of an "order of exclusion, deportation, or removal" it will not qualify under the exception. Have a consult with excellent counsel to discuss further but based on your question it does not appear that you meet the continuous residence requirement. An attorney can also help you to determine why you were denied and whether you need a waiver. Good luck
No attorney-client relationship is created or implied by this communication.Ask a similar question
No. Illegal Reentry after removal not only disqualifies you from DACA. but also subjects you to the "lifetime bar" which means you will have to spend 10 years outside the US before you could even think of applying for anything.
Kindly be advised that the answer above is only general in nature cannot be construed as legal advice, given that not enough facts are known.
