Review of "Masterplast Migra Cool Patches"
Am currently popping loads of reviews on here from Dooyoo before that site crashes out completely! Happy to read and rate reviews as always....Christmas is a coming for all us all too soon eh! x Melanie x
"Cool patches that feel hot and tingly to me!"
I suffer with alot of headaches and migraines. I spend way too much time on this computer and as a child was diagnosed with migraines. If I get a headache or migraine then I take something for it of course. I'm not a Puritan and will pop pills when needed. I have tried lots of things to help over the years from lying in darkened rooms to cold compresses and migraine relief tablets from the Doctor and for me good old paracetamol does the trick for a headache but for a migraine I have medication from the Doctor for.These I bought from Asda for a pound for a box of 3 patches and thought that was a good price. I thought they sounded like a good idea and being none medicinal meant I could used them in conjunction with any other medication I needed such as migraine tablets. This would be an added extra to my pain relief routine!
The Packaging:The box is dark blue in colour with a young girl on the front using one of the patches and we are told that they are Masterplast Migra Cool 'Cool patches for migraines and headaches' and that they are instant cooling soothing relief and that they last for hours and of course as I stated previously there are 3 patches provided in the box and that they measure 5cm x 12cm. On the back of the box other information listed includes being told a bit about the product and how to use them, warnings are given and contact details for MasterPlast are given. Nice enough simple packaging this is where are the information given is neatly and understandably laid out.
A Bit About The Product According To The Information Given On The Back Of The Box:Migra Cool is a new water based ' hydrogel' patch that can be used in conjunction with other migraine and headache treatments. These patches gently soothe and calm the painful discomfort associated with migraine and severe headaches. The Migra Cool patch is ideal for use at the first signs of a migraine or headache.
For years, doctors have recommended cooling therapy as adjunctive treatment for migraines and headaches, but cold compresses can be messy and impractical. Now you can use Migra Cool, a convenient sized patch infused with water based gel that can be simply placed on the forehead. Migra Cool is ideal for migraine sufferers and those times when you just want to cool down.Ready to use
No refrigeration required
Cooling effects last hours
Easy to apply and remove
Can be used in conjunction with other medication
The Patches:Each patch comes in a white large plastic and waterproof wrapper. It is easy to tear into as there is a nick to the top of it and in blue writing your told what it is on the front of it and on the back the same information basically as what is on the box. The patch is rather heavy to the touch and you get a white strip of like a material with a good helping of cool turquoise gel splattered all over it and all you do is simply pull away the see-through plastic (which is ever so easy to do) and then stick the gel covered backing on to your head. Simple!
The gel has a highly medicated fragrance to it which is slightly menthol in its smell but perfectly pleasant. The patch sticks to the head with complete ease and from the moment you pop it on you can feel it on there but oddly enough it feels likes its burning my forehead. You can't forget its on as you can feel it and smell it for its duration of its stay and for me this doesn't feel comfortable at all to begin with though I do eventually get used to it. I was worried when I initially smelt it that that menthol would make make my eyes water but it doesn't one bit.The biggest question is do they aid pain relief though? Well in my opinion yes they do. The menthol seemed to clear my head rather alot and I was able to breath more easy on a recent headache attack. I wouldn't say alone (without tablets) these would stop the headache/migraine but in helping me breathe more easily...yes that helps somewhat. They also took my mind off the headache! The weird hot feeling on my head opposed to the cool was uncomfortable and I have to say to me and my senses they were not cool patches! They were hot! However they are not painful to use just a tad uncomfortable.
The patch was easy to remove, didn't make my face feel sticky after using it and was simple enough to dispose of in the bin after application. I found when the effects of this stopped I simply pulled it off, waved it about a bit in the air and popped it back on my head which meant I got a couple of hours of use from the patch and in that time it never slipped off or fell off or anything like that.All in all I think these are rather a nifty product. The tingling sensation these gives takes my mind of my headache/migraine but alone they don't do much for me personally but I do like them alot. Just be aware that I think they slightly feel like they're burning the skin off but they're not and wow they don't half clear out the airways!
Thumbs up from me! Available in all good supermarkets and chemists etc and if not in Asda for a pound for 3 patches expect to pay a bit more in places like Boots.This review is also posted on Dooyoo under this same username.

Man accused of Membrey murder stands trial
The man accused of murdering Elisabeth Membrey 17 years ago allegedly told a witness he had "got rid of her."
Shane Andrew Bond, 45, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Elisabeth Membrey, 22, in December 1994.
In his opening address in the Victorian Supreme Court, prosecutor Geoff Horgan told the jury that Bond told another man he had "dramas with a girl got rid of her."
Bond allegedly told another person Ms Membrey had hit her head on a coffee table and he and a mate disposed of her body in a nearby creek.
The court heard he then changed his story a third time, telling another man her throat had been cut.
The jury was told Bond was seen covered in blood on the night Ms Membrey disappeared.
Bond's defence counsel reminded the jury that after 17 years of investigations, Ms Membrey's murder is yet to be solved.

Pam Iorg's Fundraising Page
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page
The Kid Walk is an annual event put on by CASA. Teams compete to see who can raise the most money between now and the Kid Walk on October 11th. My goal is to raise $200 dollars--or more!
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) recruits, trains, and supports community volunteers who are advocating for abused and neglected children. When children are removed from their homes by Child Welfare Services due to abuse or neglect, they become part of an overburdened system. Lawyers, social workers, and foster parents have serveral cases and kids competing for their time and attention. A CASA gets to focus on just one child.
If you don't have the time to be a CASA, the second best thing you can do is donate. Make it possible for others to become CASAs. Only 2 in 4 children who need a CASA get a CASA. Help expand the training schedule, grow the advocate support system, and increase the volunteer advocate pool. Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. No bake sales, no candle orders, no raffle tickets. It is the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
If you don't feel comfortable donating online, you can send a check with "Pam Iorg" in the memo to:
CASA of Humboldt
2356 Myrtle Ave.
Eureka, CA 95501
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), each year in the United States, about 220,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women and about 2,000 in men. About 40,000 women and 400 men in the U.S. die each year from breast cancer. Over the last decade, the risk of getting breast cancer has not changed for women overall, but the risk has increased for black women and Asian and Pacific Islander women. Black women have a higher risk of death from breast cancer than white women. The risk of getting breast cancer goes up with age. In the United States, the average age when women are diagnosed with breast cancer is 61. Men who get breast cancer are diagnosed usually between 60 and 70 years old.

American Cancer Society Statistics
In 2016, about 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women, according to the American Cancer Society.
About 1 in 8 women — or about 12 percent of females — in the U.S. will develop the disease in their lifetime.
About 40,450 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S. this year.
The chance that a woman will die from breast cancer is about 1 in 36, or around 3 percent.
There are currently more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States, including women still being treated and those who have completed treatment.
Death rates from breast cancer have been dropping since about 1989.
Mammograms are currently the only effective screening method for breast cancer, WHO reported.
A familial history of breast cancer increases the risk by a factor of two or three.
Extended life expectancy, increased urbanization, and adoption of western lifestyles have contributed to increased cases of breast cancer in the developing world.
Scientists are working toward creating a blood test that could potentially find and observe breast cancer, according to a new study.

MCL Tear
What is MCL Tear?
An MCL tear or Medial collateral ligament tear is a physical injury sustained on the knee, dealing critical damage to one of the vital components of the joint in the knee that offers support and stability to the entire limb and body.
The MCL is one of the four main ligaments of the knee, along with the anterior cruciate ligament, the posterior cruciate ligament, and the lateral collateral ligament – each one an important factor to keeping the knee steady and secure as they are all made of a tough material designed to withstand stress and great power. However, despite their natural durability, these ligaments are not immune to injury and possible permanent damage.
Any form of injury to the MCL can be extremely painful and is mostly brought about by sports accidents. The tear is caused by applying a high amount of stress or pressure onto the joint, which may be achieved through landing onto a bent knee with great force. This incident stretches the MCL beyond it capacity and in consequence, tears the ligament apart. The tear impairs the affected leg's ability to control flexion, maintain stability, as well as rotate, as each one is a role the medial collateral ligament performs – along with the main function of preventing the leg from flexing inwardly for far too much.
Recovery and treatment for MCL tears depends upon the extent of the injury. The MCL tears are classified according to grades that indicate the degree of damage that has been dealt. The grade of injury is determined according to the symptoms experienced.
The symptoms that accompany the MCL tear are crucial to determining the magnitude of the injury along with the appropriate care needed and the potential for recovery. In general, the following are the typical symptoms of an MCL tear:
- Severe pain, situated directly on the location of the medial collateral ligament
- Development of a swollen knee, centered over and around the torn medial collateral ligament
- Appearance of visible bruising on injured area; will usually develop within 2 days after the injury is sustained
- Patient may state that the knee feels unstable or gives the impression of being on the edge of giving out
To further characterize each grade of an MCL tear, each symptom possesses specific features that distinguish the injury to a particular grade alone, possibly classifying the damage as 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade. The following is the system utilized for determining the grade given to an MCL tear:
Grade I MCL Tear
- Minor pain and tenderness
- Ligament does not feel unstable
- Pain only experienced upon applying pressure onto the MCL
Grade II MCL Tear
- Observable looseness of the knee when moved with assistance
- Instability experienced especially when patient attempts to turn or pivot
- Greater pain and tenderness
- Affected knee is swollen
Grade III MCL Tear
- Extreme pain and swelling
- Limited ability to bend the knee
- Knee is found to give out or buckle as stability is severely impaired
Treatment and Surgery
The treatment necessary for an MCL tear will depend on the grade of the injury. Certain methods are maintained constant regardless of the grade however; these include the control of pain as well as the rehabilitation to regain movement and strength. Braces are also often utilized to supplement treatment by stabilizing and immobilizing the knee while it is still in the process of recovery.
The specific treatment for Grade I tears is not extensive as the injury is minor and does not leave permanent debilitation of mobility. Treatment consists of maintaining rest and avoiding activity for a period of weeks to give the ligament some time to heal. Pain and swelling is helped through applying ice over the site of the tear, as ice or the application of any amount of cold promotes the constriction of blood vessels supplying the injured area – thereby limiting bleeding and pain. Anti-inflammatory medications are also prescribed to address swelling. The doctor will then prescribe some knee exercises to bring back normal tolerance to movement in the affected knee.
For grade II MCL tears, a hinged knee brace is commonly used for treatment, allowing movement but simultaneously providing support at the same time. Treatments for Grade II injuries are grossly similar to that for Grade I MCL tears.
Grade III MCL tears will require more extensive treatment due to the greater severity of the injury. Patients are given braces for the knee and are temporarily required to make use of crutches for movement while the pain in the injury still persists. After the period of immobilization, the patient will return for regular exercises to engage his or her range-of-motion, improving the joint's return to tolerating movement.
Another method of rehabilitation apart from range-of-motion exercises involves stationary bicycling. The patient can then progress along treatment by attempting walking and jogging, depending on the severity of the pain that accompanies the activities.
Surgery is only a final resort for severe MCL Tears. The procedure is termed as arthroscopic surgery, involving the repair of the torn ligament or even replacement of the MCL if mere suturing or repair does not appear to suffice.
Recovery, like treatment for MCL tears, will depend on the extent of the injury as the time it takes for an injury to heal is directly proportional to the immensity of the damage incurred. For MCL tears that are classified to belong to the lowest grade, Grade I, full recovery may take only about 2 to 10 weeks. Recovery periods for Grades II and III of MCL tears are not as easy to calculate because damage sustained is considerably greater in these cases. In most cases, Grade II MCL tears may require at least a month for full recovery to take place, after which normal sports activities may then be resumed. Grade III MCL tears will need a greater amount of time to heal, taking as much as about 6 weeks up to 3 months before the patient may be able to go back to his or her usual routine of sports and other physical activity.

Made in America movement
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NEWS) - A block from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, workers are polishing porcelain, pouring hot wax molds and carefully crafting packaging. Joya's products -- high-end candles, perfumes and air fresheners -- are sold all over the world but they're all made here in Brooklyn. And the people behind the company pride themselves on the fact that nearly all of the materials they use are sourced domestically.
Operations manager Mayra Miranda says customers are seeking out products made in the USA. Buying products made in America means supporting American jobs. Joya employs 15 people year round along with a number of part-time seasonal workers.
After years of steep decline, American manufacturing is finally seeing a bit of a resurgence. In New York City, 1,000 manufacturing jobs were added since 2011, according to the Center for an Urban Future.
Scott Paul is the president of the nonprofit Alliance for American Manufacturing. He says that in recent years, even mega retailers like Walmart have started highlighting products made in the USA.
One challenge for American manufactures is that labor costs are much higher here than in places like China and that means a higher price tag for products. But many people say they don't mind paying that premium.
Back in 2012, President Obama set a goal of creating 1 million manufacturing jobs by the end of his second term. But with just about a year to go, the goal is unlikely to be met. The Alliance for American Manufacturing says 629,000 jobs would need to be created by January 2017.

Bring On Venom! Sony Moving Forward With Venom Spin-Off!
by Alex Billington
July 30, 2008
It seems increasingly obvious that Hollywood is interested in focusing more on villains than anything. Fueled by the success of The Dark Knight, which used the Joker in marketing more than Batman, Sony has decided to move forward on developing a spin-off Venom project following the character's introduction in Spider-Man 3. Hollywood Reporter confirms that Sony is currently developing the project, with a draft originally penned by novice screenwriter Jacob Estes, but they've since decided to go "in a different direction" and are looking for new writers. While neither Sony nor Marvel would comment any further, this is undoubtedly exciting news for Venom fans! Does this mean Spider-Man 4 in 2011 is doomed?
Back in February, we actually wrote about the possibility of a Venom spin-off as a rumor as revealed by IESB. While this news today only really confirms that rumor from February, they also add the bit about Sony throwing out Estes' script in search of a new idea. I can only hope that they're looking for someone who can write a dark and intense story in the same vein as The Dark Knight yet still inspired from the Spider-Man universe that was so successful for them. I imagine Sony was a bit pissed off when The Dark Knight topped Spider-Man 3's opening weekend box office record and now they're looking for a way to give them a real fight. And I'm sure Venom might be the one to do it!
On top of all of that news, we also learn that Sony has decided to ditch Topher Grace from Spider-Man 3 in favor of someone who could actually topline a big superhero movie on their own. I personally didn't mind Topher as Venom, but for once Sony seems to be listening to the fans who were all quite upset with the third movie and the way Venom was treated. Keeping on the subject of Spider-Man, back in June, producer Laura Ziskin confirmed that we would be seeing Spider-Man 4 in 2011. It sounds like Sony is squeezing as much juice out of their deal with Marvel as possible. But if this means we get to see a Venom spin-off, hell, I'm all for it! It's about time they realized Venom's potential!
While I have a forthcoming editorial looking at Hollywood's interest in villains, I think it's appropriate to start up some discussion on the idea of focusing on villains as the main characters. Not that movies like Iron Man are bad, but The Dark Knight was more of a movie about the Joker and the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is being sold as more of a movie about Voldemort and Tom Riddle. However, a Venom spin-off presents so many intriguing questions, such as: Who will Venom be fighting if Spider-Man is still getting his own movies? Will Venom be the hero or just someone that another hero must deal with? Who could play a better Venom than Topher Grace? Would it be better to recreated the look of Venom or stay with the style in Spider-Man 3? Have at it - there is much to be discussed!

Didache—Chapter 13
13 Every Genuine prophet
13:1 Every genuine prophet who wants to live among you is worthy of support.
13:2 So also, every true teacher is, like a workman, entitled to his support.
13:3 Every first fruit, therefore, of the products of vintage and harvest, of cattle and of sheep, should be given as first fruits to the prophets, for they are your high priests.
13:4 But if you have no prophet, give it all to the poor.
13:5 If you bake bread, take the first loaf and give it according to the commandment.
13:6 If you open a new jar of wine or of oil, take the first fruit and give it to the prophets.
13:7 If you acquire money or cloth or any other possession, set aside a portion first, as it may seem good to you, and give according to the commandment.
This chapter can be a little tricky if it's taken out of context so we need to address a couple of things. First up is the idea of a "prophet." What's a prophet? Are there prophets today?
In Judaism, a prophet was a spokesperson for G_d and could be either male or female. While the prophet did, at times, foretell about future events, that was just part of their calling. Most of the time they spoke in the place of G_d and offered teaching. Sometimes (and some would say a lot of the time) the message wasn't very pleasant, especially for those people in power (see the book of Amos, for example).
Not only did the prophet speak and write for G_d, they also demonstrated what life with G_d was to be like. Their lives were examples for the whole community to follow.
In the early years of following The Way, we see these same type of people. Paul wrote about them in his first letter to the followers of The Way in Corinth (1 Corinthians 14.26ff; cf. Ephesians 3.5-6; 4.11-13).
And James gives his listener's similar instructions as found in the Didache:
James 5.10-11: Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of patient resolve and steadfastness. Look at how we honor those who have practiced endurance. You have heard of the endurance of Job. And you have seen what the Lord has accomplished, for the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
But there's something different in those early years of The Way. The prophets of the New Testament seem to be of a different calibre from the prophets in the Tanakh (the Hebrew scriptures or Old Testament). In fact, of the 67 references to "prophet(s)" found in the Common English Bible, over half of them point to the prophets of Jewish history and roughly 13 are found in the book of Revelation. The only followers of Jesus named as prophets are: Barnabas, Simeon (Niger), Lucius, Manaen, Saul (Paul), Judas, Silas, and Agabus.
Now, certainly, a case could be made for the Apostles to be listed in this category, too. However, when Paul wrote to the followers of the Way in Corinth and Ephesus, he listed apostles and prophets separately. And in both of those letters, most of his references are to the prophets of Jewish antiquity. On the other hand, the offices listed in those passages could all be held by a single person.
And to press the point of this difference between prophets of the Jewish scriptures and the New Testament a bit further, Peter wrote that the false teachers of his day were like the false prophets from Jewish history (2 Peter 2.1).
The point of all this leads to the second question, "Are there prophets today?" That's a great question. And I have to answer that I'm not sure. I know that I've had people who've spoken prophetically in my life. And by that, I don't mean they felt compelled to seek me out and give me a "word from G_d" (truth be told, almost every person that did that would be considered a "false prophet"). I'm talking about listening to a song and have it speak to the deepest levels of my heart—the hidden things that only I know about—and confirm what's there. But I don't know if I'd say they were prophets (with, of course, the exception of Trevor Hall). But what I do know is that, if we remove the idea of speaking about the future, and stick to teaching and counseling and pastoring, then, yes, there are plenty of prophets today.
The second thing we need to discuss is "first fruits." Through the years, I was told that "first fruits" meant the "tithe." That is, the first 10% of my finances. But that's not accurate. According to the Jewish Virtual Library, "There are no specifications as to the amounts or percentages of seasonal yield required for the offering of first fruits." Like prophets, this finds its origin with the Jewish people. They were told to bring the first fruits of their crops and livestock to the Temple and give them away as an offering to Yahweh. What wasn't "sacrificed," i.e., used for a burnt offering, was for the priests.
The Didache states the same thing. The first of the communities sustenance was to be given to the visiting prophet. But notice the caveat, "If you have no prophet, give it all to the poor." They weren't just not to give their first fruits. It was always to be given.
So, with all of this information, what are we to take away from it? For starters, I think we could be safe to say that, in our case, the "prophet" could be those who teach us to live more like Christ; to follow The Way of Jesus more closely. Now, this could be a local pastor or priest. It could be an author. It could be a spiritual director. But it doesn't have to be a "clergy" person, in the strict sense of the word. It's whoever helps us to lead a better life of service toward others.
Secondly, we shouldn't get hung up on how much we give. Like all of the other "rules" from the Didache, we should do what we can—"as it may seem good to you." But the idea here is to give to those people who help you in your walk with Christ. If you don't have someone like that, then give to the poor.
In the Love of the Three in One,

Look and Feel Your Best This HalloweenGeneral
Am I the only one who feels like the entire month of October flew by? My friends and I were chatting the other day and all agreed that Halloween snuck up on us! Pun intended. With the busy lifestyles we live today, it's sometimes hard to prepare in advance for any upcoming special events. I may not have my costume ready or finalized plans for Halloween night, but one thing's for sure- I've already scheduled appointments for my two favorite Planet Beach services that are guaranteed to make me look and feel my best!
Here's the two services I highly recommend adding to your beauty routine before Halloween night and any other special occasion…
Spray Tan
It's no secret that Halloween has become the hall pass for wearing scandalous outfits in public. I'm not saying that I plan to wear a sexy nurse costume this year, but if I'm standing next to someone who is, I do want to make sure my skin looks as best as it possibly can! Planet Beach's spray tans always give my skin that beautiful bronzed glow I love, but I find it makes me feel more confident too. Added bonus!
Teeth Whitening
Busy lifestyle = Starbucks addiction, at least for me. While a Pumpkin Spice Latte might get me through work on Monday, I don't want coffee stains on my teeth as a reminder of the long meeting I sat through distracted by thoughts of a fun night ahead. In just 45 minutes or less, a Teeth Whitening treatment at Planet Beach always has my teeth looking noticeably brighter. You'll leave much more relaxed sitting in one of the automated massage chairs during the Teeth Whitening treatment. Another added bonus!
Speaking of Starbucks addiction, how convenient is their mobile app? Did you know Planet Beach has a mobile app too? Do yourself a favor and download it on your phone today. The Planet Beach Mobile App makes booking your appointments so easy, it's scary!
Happy Halloween!

The present invention relates generally to ink-jet ink compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates to pigment-based ink-jet inks that exhibit improved frequency response when jetted from ink-jet architecture.
There are several reasons that ink-jet printing has become a popular way of recording images on various media surfaces, particularly paper. Some of these reasons include low printer noise, capability of high-speed recording, and multi-color recording. Additionally, these advantages can be obtained at a relatively low price to consumers. Though there has been great improvement in ink-jet printing, accompanying this improvement are increased demands by consumers in this area, e.g., higher speeds, higher resolution, full color image formation, increased stability, etc. As new ink-jet inks are developed, there have been several traditional characteristics to consider when evaluating the ink in conjunction with a printing surface or substrate. Such characteristics include edge acuity and optical density of the image on the surface, black to color bleed control, dry time of the ink on the substrate, adhesion to the substrate, lack of deviation in ink droplet placement, presence of all dots, resistance of the ink after drying to water and other solvents, long term storage stability, and long term reliability without corrosion or nozzle clogging. Though the above list of characteristics provides a worthy goal to achieve, there are difficulties associated with satisfying all of the above characteristics. Often, the inclusion of an ink component meant to satisfy one of the above characteristics can prevent another characteristic from being met. Thus, most commercial inks for use in ink-jet printers represent a compromise in an attempt to achieve at least an adequate response in meeting all of the above listed requirements.
One characteristic of ink-jet printing systems that is desirable to achieve is related to frequency response of the ink-jet ink, which is often proportional to ink throughput. With respect to this aspect, obtaining increased printing speed while retaining acceptable print quality is a constant challenge in the ink-jet printing industry. Accordingly, investigations continue into developing ink formulations that can be printed accurately at high frequencies.
It has been recognized that it would be advantageous to develop pigment-based ink compositions which have improved frequency response. In one aspect of the present invention, a system for printing images on a substrate can comprise a black ink-jet ink including a liquid vehicle and a dispersant-functionalized black carbon pigment, and a printhead configured to jet the black ink-jet ink at a firing frequency from 15 kHz to 25 kHz. The liquid vehicle can include water, and from 15 wt % to 30 wt % organic solvent, wherein from 3 wt % to 10 wt % of the organic solvent is a methylated pentanetriol co-solvent. The dispersant-functionalized black carbon pigment can be present in the ink composition at from 1 wt % to 6 wt %.
A method of rapidly printing a black ink-jet image can comprise ink-jetting a black ink-jet ink onto a media substrate at a firing frequency from 15 kHz to 25 kHz. The black ink-jet ink can include a liquid vehicle including water, and from 15 wt % to 30 wt % organic solvent, wherein from 3 wt % to 10 wt % of the organic solvent is a methylated pentanetriol co-solvent. The dispersant-functionalized black carbon pigment can be present in the ink at from 1 wt % to 6 wt %.
In another embodiment, an ink-jet ink composition can comprise a liquid vehicle, a dispersant-functionalized black carbon pigment, and an ammonium salt. The liquid vehicle can include from 15 wt % to 30 wt % organic solvent, wherein from 3 wt % to 10 wt % of the organic solvent is a 3-methyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol. From 1 wt % to 6 wt % of the dispersant-functionalized black carbon pigment, and from 0.1 wt % to 4 wt % of an ammonium salt can each be present in the composition as well.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the detailed description which illustrates, by way of example, features of the invention.
Before particular embodiments of the present invention are disclosed and described, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the particular process and materials disclosed herein as such may vary to some degree. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is used for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting, as the scope of the present invention will be defined only by the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
In describing and claiming the present invention, the following terminology will be used.
The singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "a pigment" includes reference to one or more of such materials.
As used herein, "liquid vehicle" is defined to include liquid compositions that can be used to carry colorants, including pigments, to a substrate. Liquid vehicles are well known in the art, and a wide variety of ink vehicles may be used in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. Such ink vehicles may include a mixture of a variety of different agents, including without limitation, surfactants, solvents, co-solvents, buffers, biocides, viscosity modifiers, sequestering agents, stabilizing agents, and water. Though not part of the liquid vehicle per se, in the system and method embodiments, the liquid vehicle can carry solid additives such as polymers, UV curable materials, plasticizers, salts, etc.
As used herein, "pigment" refers to a colorant particle which is typically substantially insoluble in the liquid vehicle in which it is used.
"Self-dispersed pigment," "dispersant-functionalized pigment," or a derivation thereof refers to pigments that have been functionalized with dispersing agent, such as by chemical attachment of the dispersing agent to the surface of the pigment. Dispersing agent can be attached to such pigments to terminate the outer shell of the pigment with a charge, thereby creating a repulsive nature that reduces agglomeration of pigment particles within the liquid vehicle.
"Frequency response" refers to the performance of ink-jet ink and ink-jet architecture used in combination with respect to ink-jet ink firing speed, i.e., dots fired per unit of time. Generally, a higher nozzle firing frequency tends to result in poorer print performance. This can result in misdirected ink drops and other undesirable characteristics. By current standards, firing frequencies above about 12 kHz are considered to be fast printing frequencies.
Concentrations, amounts, and other numerical data may be presented herein in a range format. It is to be understood that such range format is used merely for convenience and brevity and should be interpreted flexibly to include not only the numerical values explicitly recited as the limits of the range, but also to include all the individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly recited. For example, a weight range of about 1 wt % to about 20 wt % should be interpreted to include not only the explicitly recited concentration limits of 1 wt % to about 20 wt %, but also to include individual concentrations such as 2 wt %, 3 wt %, 4 wt %, and sub-ranges such as 5 wt % to 15 wt %, 10 wt % to 20 wt %, etc.
As used herein, "bleed" refers to the tendency of ink to run into and mix with adjacently printed inks. "Feathering" refers to the tendency of ink to spread undesirably into unprinted areas of the media substrate. Bleed and feathering typically occur prior to the printed inks fully drying on a substrate. The degree of bleed will depend on a variety of factors such as the drying speed of the ink, agglomeration of the colorant, ink chemistry in general, among other variables.
"Edge acuity" refers to the crispness of a printed image along the border of the image.
The term "about" when referring to a numerical value or range is intended to encompass the values resulting from experimental error that can occur when taking measurements.
In accordance with the present invention, a system for printing images on a substrate is also provided and can comprise a black ink-jet ink including a liquid vehicle and a dispersant-functionalized black carbon pigment, and a printhead configured to jet the black ink-jet ink at a firing frequency from 15 kHz to 25 kHz. The ink-jet architecture preferably can also print the ink-jet ink at more typical lower frequencies, e.g., 3 kHz to 12 kHz, and at moderately high frequencies such as from 12 kHz to 15 kHz. The liquid vehicle can include water, and from 15 wt % to 30 wt % organic solvent, wherein from 3 wt % to 10 wt % of the organic solvent is a methylated pentanetriol co-solvent. The dispersant-functionalized black carbon pigment can be present in the ink composition at from 1 wt % to 6 wt %.
Additionally, a method of rapidly printing a black ink-jet image can comprise ink-jetting a black ink-jet ink onto a media substrate at a firing frequency from 15 kHz to 25 kHz. The black ink-jet ink can include a liquid vehicle including water, and from 15 wt % to 30 wt % organic solvent, wherein from 3 wt % to 10 wt % of the organic solvent is a methylated pentanetriol co-solvent. The dispersant-functionalized black carbon pigment can be present in the ink at from 1 wt % to 6 wt %.
In another embodiment, an ink-jet ink composition can comprise a liquid vehicle having from 15 wt % to 30 wt % organic solvent, wherein from 3 wt % to 10 wt % of the organic solvent is 3-methyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol. The composition can also comprise from 1 wt % to 6 wt % of a dispersant-functionalized black carbon pigment, and from 0.1 wt % to 4 wt % of an ammonium salt.
Self-Dispersed Black Pigment
The self-dispersed black pigment can be a carbon pigment functionalized with a dispersant. The dispersant is typically prepared in a precursor form, and then the precursor is attached to the pigment to chemically modify the surface of the pigment. In one embodiment, the dispersant can be attached to the carbon black using various amino precursor materials, such as para-aminobenzoic acids, isophthalic acids, triacids, and isomers thereof, for example. Other precursors can also be used to attach to the carbon black, as would be known by those skilled in the art.
The carbon pigment can be almost any commercially available carbon pigment that provides acceptable optical density and print characteristics. Carbon pigments suitable for use in the present invention include, without limitation, carbon black, graphite, vitreous carbon, charcoal, and combinations thereof. In one aspect of the present invention, the carbon pigment is a carbon black pigment. Such carbon black pigments can be manufactured by a variety of known method such as a channel method, a contact method, a furnace method, an acetylene method, or a thermal method, and are commercially available from such vendors as Cabot Corporation, Columbian Chemicals Company, Degussa AG, and E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company. Suitable carbon black pigments include, without limitation, Cabot pigments such as MONARCH 1400, MONARCH 1300, MONARCH 1100, MONARCH 1000, MONARCH 900, MONARCH 880, MONARCH 800, MONARCH 700, CAB-O-JET 200, and CAB-O-JET 300; Columbian pigments such as RAVEN 7000, RAVEN 5750, RAVEN 5250, RAVEN 5000, and RAVEN 3500; Degussa pigments such as Color Black FW 200, RAVEN FW 2, RAVEN FW 2V, RAVEN FW 1, RAVEN FW 18, RAVEN S160, RAVEN FW S170, Special Black 6, Special Black 5, Special Black 4A, Special Black 4, PRINTEX U, PRINTEX 140U, PRINTEX V, and PRINTEX 140V; and TIPURE R-101 available from Dupont.
Typically the carbon black pigments of the present invention can be from about 5 nm to about 10 μm and in one aspect can be from 10 nm to about 500 nm in size, although sizes outside this range can be used if the pigment can remain dispersed and provide adequate color properties. In one detailed aspect of the present invention, the functionalized carbon pigment comprises from about 1 wt % to about 6 wt % of the ink-jet ink composition.
Liquid Vehicle
The ink-jet ink compositions of the present invention are typically prepared using an aqueous formulation or liquid vehicle which can include water, co-solvents, surfactants, buffering agents, biocides, sequestering agents, viscosity modifiers, humectants, binders, and/or other known additives. Typically the ink-jet ink compositions of the present invention have a viscosity of between about 0.8 cps to about 15 cps, and in one embodiment, can be from about 0.8 cps to about 8 cps. In one aspect of the present invention, the liquid vehicle can comprise from about 70 wt % to about 99 wt % of the ink-jet ink composition.
Frequency response of a black pigmented ink-jet inks can be proportional to the printer system throughput ability. In ink-jet printing systems, it can be desirous to have a high upper frequency limit while maintaining a functional frequency bandwidth within a lower range. In the prior art, a typical and understood solution to increasing pen system frequency range, and upper frequency limits particularly, has involved designing jetting architecture to accommodate the requirements of a given ink. However, it has been discovered that certain co-solvents can be used in liquid vehicles which increase the range of frequency response for a given ink-jet architecture and ink-jet ink combination. Specifically, methylated pentanetriols, such as 3-methyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol, provide a means of achieving superior frequency response in self-dispersed black pigmented ink-jet inks. The improvement can be manifested by a reduction of misdirected ink drops upon ink-jet architecture firing, which improved nozzle directionality is particularly noted as the upper ink firing frequency limit is raised. Additionally, not only is better performance noted at these higher frequency levels, but the operational frequency bandwidth can also be expanded by the use of these co-solvents. For example, by increasing the upper frequency limit that can be used to jet a particular ink-jet ink, the effective range of frequency response of an ink can be increased. Thus, in one embodiment, a printhead can be configured to jet the black ink-jet ink of the present invention at a firing frequency from 15 kHz to 25 kHz, or even from 18 kHz to 25 kHz. Though a high frequency range is provided, these same inks can also be jetted at from 3 kHz to 15 kHz as well, which is more common amongst many of the inks currently available on the market. Thus, the frequency response range of these ink-jet inks can be quite broad.
In addition to the presence of the methylated pentanetriol co-solvents described above, other co-solvents can also be present. Suitable secondary co-solvents for use in the present invention include water soluble organic co-solvents, but are not limited to, aliphatic alcohols, aromatic alcohols, diols, glycol ethers, poly(glycol)ethers, lactams, formamides, acetamides, long chain alcohols, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycols, triethylene glycols, glycerine, dipropylene glycols, glycol butyl ethers, polyethylene glycols, polypropylene glycols, amides, ethers, carboxylic acids, esters, organosulfides, organosulfoxides, sulfones, alcohol derivatives, carbitol, butyl carbitol, cellosolve, ether derivatives, amino alcohols, and ketones. For example, co-solvents can include primary aliphatic alcohols of 30 carbons or less, primary aromatic alcohols of 30 carbons or less, secondary aliphatic alcohols of 30 carbons or less, secondary aromatic alcohols of 30 carbons or less, 1,2-diols of 30 carbons or less, 1,3-diols of 30 carbons or less, 1,5-diols of 30 carbons or less, ethylene glycol alkyl ethers, propylene glycol alkyl ethers, poly(ethylene glycol)alkyl ethers, higher homologs of poly(ethylene glycol)alkyl ethers, poly(propylene glycol)alkyl ethers, higher homologs of poly(propylene glycol)alkyl ethers, lactams, substituted formamides, unsubstituted formamides, substituted acetamides, and unsubstituted acetamides. Specific examples of co-solvents that are preferably employed in the practice of this invention include, but are not limited to, 1,5-pentanediol, 2-pyrrolidone, Liponic ethylene glycol 1 (LEG-1), Liponic ethylene glycol 7 (LEG-7), 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-ethyl-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol, diethylene glycol, 3-methoxybutanol, and 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone. Co-solvents can be added to reduce the rate of evaporation of water in the ink to minimize clogging or other properties of the ink such as viscosity, pH, surface tension, optical density, and print quality. The co-solvent concentration can range from about 15 wt % to about 30 wt %. In one embodiment, when multiple co-solvents other than the methylated pentanetriol is used, each co-solvent is typically present at from about 1 wt % to about 10 wt % of the ink-jet ink composition. With respect to the methylated pentanetriols, they can be present in the ink-jet ink composition at from 3 wt % to 10 wt %.
Other additives, such as ammonium salts, can also be included, such as at from 0.1 wt % to 4 wt % in one embodiment. Examples of such ammonium salts include ammonium acetate and ammonium sulfate. If used, the presence of an ammonium salt can improve edge acuity and reduce bleed of printed images. Though the ammonium salt can be configured to be stable within ink-jet architecture prior to firing, it is believed that the presence of an ammonium salt (which includes an NH4 + group) can cause the ink as a whole to become destabilized on the print media after being jetted from the ink-jet architecture. By destabilized, the surface negative charges of the self-dispersed pigment particles can become agglomerated as the cation of the ammonium salt liberates a proton. In other words, the remaining NH3 group can be liberated as a gas, and the positively charged proton is free to preferentially seek out the negative charge present around the pigment dispersion, thus, providing at least a degree of electrical neutralization.
Various buffering agents can also be optionally used in the ink-jet ink compositions of the present invention. Typical buffering agents include such pH control solutions as hydroxides of alkali metals and amines, such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide; citric acid; amines such as triethanolamine, diethanolamine, and dimethylethanolamine; and other basic or acidic components. If used, buffering agents typically comprise less than about 10 wt % of the ink-jet ink composition.
In another aspect of the present invention, various biocides can be used to inhibit growth of undesirable microorganisms. Several non-limiting examples of suitable biocides include benzoate salts, sorbate salts, commercial products such as NUOSEPT (Nudex, Inc., a division of Huls America), UCARCIDE (Union Carbide), VANCIDE (RT Vanderbilt Co.), and PROXEL (ICI Americas) and other known biocides. Typically, such biocides comprise less than about 5 wt % of the ink-jet ink composition and often from about 0.05 wt % to about 2 wt %.
In an additional aspect of the present invention, binders can be included which act to secure the colorants on the substrate. Binders suitable for use in the present invention typically have a molecular weight of from about 100 to about 50,000 g/mol. Non-limiting examples include polyester, polyester-melanine, styrene-acrylic acid copolymers, styrene-acrylic acid-alkyl acrylate copolymers, styrene-maleic acid copolymers, styrene-maleic acid-alkyl acrylate copolymers, styrene-methacrylic acid copolymers, styrene-methacrylic acid-alkyl acrylate copolymers, styrene-maleic half ester copolymers, vinyl naphthalene-acrylic acid copolymers, vinyl naphthalene-maleic acid copolymers, and salts thereof. If the binder is in a particulate dispersed form, then it is not considered to be part of the liquid vehicle, but is considered to be carried by liquid vehicle.
In one aspect of the present invention, the ink-jet ink compositions are substantially free of surfactants. However, such components can be used and may include standard water-soluble surfactants such as alkyl polyethylene oxides, alkyl phenyl polyethylene oxides, polyethylene oxide (PEO) block copolymers, acetylenic PEO, PEO esters, PEO amines, PEO amides, and dimethicone copolyols. If used, surfactants can be present at from 0.001 wt % to 10 wt % of the ink-jet ink composition, and in one embodiment, can be present at from 0.001 wt % to 0.1 wt %.
The following examples illustrate the embodiments of the invention that are presently best known. However, it is to be understood that the following are only exemplary or illustrative of the application of the principles of the present invention. Numerous modifications and alternative compositions, methods, and systems may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The appended claims are intended to cover such modifications and arrangements. Thus, while the present invention has been described above with particularity, the following examples provide further detail in connection with what are presently deemed to be the most practical and preferred embodiments of the invention.
A black pigmented ink-jet ink in accordance with the present invention (test) and a control ink-jet ink (control) were prepared using components within the ranges shown in Table 1. The components were combined to form a black ink having a pH of about 8.
Control (wt %)
Test (wt %)
Ethoxylated glycerol
(hexylene glycol)
Surfynol 465
Self-dispersed black pigment
Ammonium acetate
Proxel GXL
Variations of the formulations (control ink and test ink) described in Table 1 above were tested in identical pen/printer/media systems for frequency response and misdirected firing. The pen used was an HP C6656AN, the paper used was Hewlett-Packard Plain Paper, and the printer used was an HP DJ5550. The only difference between the two formulations in each test was the addition of 3-methyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol. For example, in Table 1 above, the amount of total liquid organic solvent (excluding solids, biocide, surfactant, buffer, and salts) for each control ink prepared was from 14 wt % to 25 wt %, and the amount of total liquid organic solvent (excluding solids, biocide, surfactant, buffer, and salts) for each test ink prepared was from 15 wt % to 30 wt %. In other words, there was more total organic solvent present in the test ink compared to the control ink solely due to the presence of the 3-methyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol in the test ink.
After preparing both inks (control ink and test ink) for each comparison, a one page print diagnostic was conducted to discern print attribute differences. The diagnostic utilized was chosen to highlight nozzle performance across a range of firing frequencies. This observed range was from 3.0 kHz to 19.8 kHz. The diagnostic was designed to print a series of fired dots in a linear line. Deviation from the desired linearity was evident by observing overlapping adjacent dot rows. This overlap results in dark and light lines commonly referred to as banding or striping. Improvement in nozzle directionality was noted from 6.0 kHz to 19.8 kHz in the systems that included 3-methyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol when compared with the system that lacked this material.
A similar degree of improvement was not observed by simply increasing the total amount of organic solvent in the control ink, such as by increasing one of the other solvent amounts. In other words, a more drastic improvement was noted by adding 3-methyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol to the ink compared to increasing one of the other solvent amounts by the same amount and not adding the 3-methyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol.
Additionally, the presence of the ammonium salt contributed to reduced bleed and improved edge acuity.
While the invention has been described with reference to certain preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, changes, omissions, and substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is therefore intended that the invention be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

Above Ground Pool Heaters In Florida
We recently had an inquiry about above ground pool heaters in the Florida area, specifically Delray Beach. We've had several inquiries over the past few months for some residents who had just moved to the area from the northern United States and they wanted to make sure they would be able to use their pools even when the temperatures dropped down into the 50s. So we made sure they understood the different types of above ground pool heaters we offered.
Based on their expectations and the amount of heating that would be required, we recommended our above ground solar pool heater. With all of the sunlight that Florida gets and the fact that the temperatures only dip into the 50s during the months of December, January and February, a solar above ground pool heater would fit their needs perfectly. It obviously wasn't the lowest cost option for them, but they really were insistent that solar be a high priority. Many of our customers are willing to pay a little extra money to make sure they are being environmentally conscious citizens and really for their long term needs, once the solar pool heater is paid off over a few years, they will enjoy getting their pool heated to the temperature they like without any costs at all.
We really didn't need to explain any of this to this particular customer, they were already prepared to pay the extra cost in order to have an environmentally clean pool heater solution. When we asked them how they found us, we were happy to find out they were talking to one of their neighbors who knows the owner of Delray Beach Oriental Rug Cleaning Pros. Steve over there has been a customer of ours for years. If you are ever in need of oriental rug cleaning in the Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Boca Del Mar, or Deerfield Beach, give them a call. They are a great company and we like to reciprocate with referrals.

Mitchell "Mitch" McColl is a fictional character from the Australian Channel Seven soap opera Home and Away, originally played by Cameron Welsh. He debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 15 July 1999. Welsh thought that the role of Mitch would be a guest part, but producers soon signed him onto a three-year contract. Welsh was diagnosed with an herniated disc and took a break from filming in 2000. Mitchell McMahon took over the role temporarily when producers decided that Mitch needed to remain part of a "big storyline". Welsh decided to leave Home and Away in November 2000 and Mitch departed on 9 March 2001. Welsh reprised the role in 2005 for the serial's 4000th episode. Mitch has been described as a "bad boy with a heart of gold" and likes to help people out. He is also "emotionally scarred and guarded" due to his upbringing.
Character development[edit]
Actor Cameron Welsh auditioned for a part in Home and Away with the predicate that it would only be a guest role.[1] Welsh was originally signed a three-year contract to appear in Home and Away. He began filming in May 1999 and his character Mitch debuted on-screen during the episode airing on 15 July. Welsh said that he viewed it as a "great opportunity" to learn the "technical aspect of acting".[2]
Mitch was initially described as a "motherless 16-year-old bad boy with a heart of gold" and "emotionally scarred and guarded".[3][4] Welsh was given a "very clear starting point" with Mitch and he knew that he would develop well in the years that followed. Welsh said that playing Mitch was "weird" because he had to get into the mindset of a sixteen-year-old. Welsh looked older than his character, he said it worked well for Mitch because "he's seen a lot for his age, he's had a turbulent childhood, so it's okay to play him a lot wiser than the average kid."[2] Welsh later described Mitch as always being "a good guy with an interest in helping people out".[1] Welsh enjoyed playing the guitar, so producers decided to incorporate this into Mitch's character. Prior to Mitch's arrival media sources it was reported that he would become attracted to the character of Hayley Smith (Bec Cartwright).[5] Welsh said that because Mitch is a romantic "he was in town for all of five seconds before he caught a glimpse of Hayley." He opined that the two characters shared chemistry and said that viewers could expect "a few more sparks" between them.[4]
In 2000, Welsh was diagnosed with a herniated disc in his back and was ordered to take bed rest. Producers granted Welsh a six-week break but decided to hire Mitchell McMahon to play Mitch in his absence. Welsh said it felt "weird" seeing another actor playing Mitch but as he was involved in a "big storyline" at the time, producers were left with no other option. Welsh said that McMahon looked different to him and had a different way of playing Mitch and said "it will be interesting to see how viewers react".[6] After his return, Welsh's scenes as Mitch started airing once again from 3 April 2000.[7]
Mitch was often used in "romantic" scenes and characterised as "a nice guy". Welsh said "I guess it's not the worst thing in the world to get down pat." In 2001 Welsh left Home and Away, Mitch's exit storyline was not dramatic as he left to visit his ill grandmother in New Zealand.[8]
In 2005, Welsh filmed a cameo for the serial's 4000th episode, which saw Mitch return for Alf Stewart's (Ray Meagher) birthday.[9] Welsh later became Home and Away's producer. He said that playing Mitch helped give him a better understanding when it came to producing the serial.[10]
Mitch arrives in Summer Bay and hides out on Travis Nash's (Nic Testoni) boat. It is soon revealed that Mitch is a runaway who fled home after his stepfather, Rod Branson (Russell Newman) blamed him for causing his mother's death by accidentally hitting her in the chest with a cricket ball. Mitch is then fostered by Alf and Ailsa Stewart (Judy Nunn) and quickly becomes a big brother figure to their son, Duncan (Brendan McKensy). Mitch is accepted into the local high school and makes friends with Hayley, Will (Zac Drayson), Gypsy Nash (Kimberley Cooper), Peta Janossi (Aleetza Wood) and Edward Dunglass (Stephen James King).
Mitch is attracted to Hayley and she is attracted to him but she is dating Sam Marshall (Ryan Clark). Mitch dates Gypsy instead and sleeps with her. After Hayley and Sam break up, Mitch gets together with Hayley but they briefly separate when she learns that he lied about Gypsy. They reconcile when Mitch confronts Hayley's employer Brian Rogers (Gerry Tacovsky) sets about making inappropriate advances towards her.
One morning, Mitch finds the body of Sarah McKay, a teenage girl who had run away and drowned while sleeping in a storm drain. After realising he could have easily suffered the same fate as Sarah, Mitch is compelled to set up a Drop-in Centre. His idea comes to fruition after his friends and the local adults battle the council for permission and name the centre after Sarah, whose [parents attend the grand opening. When the centre is up and running, Mitch feels a little annoyed when the newly arrived Shelley Sutherland (Paula Forrest) and Gypsy begin running the centre but eventually relents. Brodie Hanson (Susie Rugg) begins staying at the centre after fleeing her abusive mother, Jan (Genevieve Sulway) and Mitch forms a close friendship with her. Hayley is annoyed when she finds Mitch is dating Brodie, as she hoped to reconcile with him as they had broken up after her father Ken (Anthony Phelan) died.
After Mitch wins a charity talent contest with a self-composed musical number, he is approached by Morrie Sanders (Peter Brownie), who reveals he is his uncle and explains that Mitch's grandfather had thrown Vicky out of home when he learned she was going to marry Mitch's father. Morrie tells Mitch that his grandmother, Morrie and Vicky's mother is dying and wants to see him before she dies and Mitch agrees to go to New Zealand with Morrie. When Mitch returns to the Bay, he feels he has changed and his relationship with Alf in the wake of Ailsa's death sours. He then moves in with Gypsy and Vinnie Patterson (Ryan Kwanten). Mitch then decides to leave for New Zealand permanently and before leaving reconciles with Alf and shares an emotional farewell with Brodie. Four years later, Mitch returns to Summer Bay briefly in 2005 for Alf's 60th birthday party.
For his portrayal of Mitch, Welsh was nominated for the "Best New Male Talent" Logie Award in 2000.[11] James Joyce of The Newcastle Herald said that Mitch made a big impact in his first episode on-screen.[3] He later opined that Mitch and Hayley's first kiss was "long-awaited" and had that the pair had "lustful eyes" for one another. When they face "frustration" after the kiss, he added that fans "crave this sort of teasing".[12] A columnist for the Daily Record chose Mitch's exit as one of their TV highlights of the week.[13]

From my e-mail and: http://www.fop.net/.......
The Fraternal Order of Police National Delegation in attendance, voted unanimously to begin a boycott of persons, products and companies associated with the supporting of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal.
In case you don't know, he was convicted in the 1981 killing of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner under overwhelming evidence. The act was an especially brutal and sadistic murder that still haunts the family, friends and coworkers of Officer Faulkner.
The New York Shields, a police brotherhood organization, presented Officer Faulkner's family with a Medal of Valor at their 1999 Police Memorial Breakfast.
Convict Abu-Jamal has written a book, "Live from Death Row," and attempted to place himself in a celebrity status as a result of his criminal behavior.
Others have supported his pathetic attempt to gain stardom and freedom, all the while spitting in the face of Officer Faulkner, his family and every single law enforcement officer in the United States .
The F. O. P. has announced the formal boycotting of the following:
1. Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Products (donators to a defense fund for the killer).
2. Actor Paul Newman, and his products (an outspoken supporter of the killer).
3. Actress Susan Sarandon (supporter of this convicted killer).
4. Filmmakers Spike Lee, Oliver Stone and John Landis
(supporters of the killer).
5. Writers Norman Mailer and Joyce Carol Oates (supporters of the killer).
6. Super model Naomi Campbell (supporter of the killer).
7. Musicians Sting, David Byrne and Michael Stipe of REM,
(supporters of the killer).
8. The Backstreet Boys who are performing "free" benefit concerts for the killer's defense fund.
As a side note, one of their "benefit concerts" scheduled for Baltimore , MD had to be canceled when Baltimore police officers refused to work the overtime shifts for site security at the concert.
As you may not know, a tape recorded statement made by this heinous convicted killer, was played at the spring graduation commencement ceremony at Evergreen State College, in the state of Washington (June
1999.) This resulted in over 800 graduates walking out and another two dozen turning their backs during the killer's three minute diatribe of hate. The F.O.P.'s position is getting widespread coverage in the media, as well it should. The members of the New York Shields stand with our fellow brothers across this country in strongly supporting this boycott and honoring the memory of slain Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkn er.
We urge you to participate in this boycott and request that you pass this e-mail on to your coworkers, business partners, and family and friends.

The police in Ekiti State, western Nigeria have arrested two students of the Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti, for alleged robbery.
The suspects, both 28 years old, are National Diploma students of the polytechnic and were arrested by the police with the cooperation of members of Igboogun Community on 19 August.
The suspects, according to the police, were members of a five-man gang that had terrorized motorists on Ijan-Ado-Ekiti road in recent time.
They were alleged to have barricaded the road at a spot in Igbologun village, Ado-Ekiti, when the villagers sent a distress call to the police and, at the same time, challenged the suspects.
Items recovered from them, according to a statement made available to newsmen by the Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Victor Babayemi, included two locally made single barrel pistols, five rounds of live cartridges, three expended cartridges and masks.
The statement commended the bravery and cooperation of members of the community and urged others to emulate the act.
It reiterated the command's resolve to protect lives and property of citizens, adding that nothing would be spared to ensure that Ekiti became a no-go area for criminals.

Italy-based Ghanaian musician, Kwesi Otabil Entsiwah, known in the music scene as MC Kwesy, who is credited with three musical albums, yesterday disclosed that he is in the country to launch his maiden movie titled: 'Koforidua Flowers' on the Ghanaian movie market.
As one of the giants who pride themselves in dynamism, MC Kwesy is comfortable with change.
After years of going into 'hibernation', MC Kwesy, who left Ghana 14 years ago after the release of his hit songs 'Odo Doctor', 'Mmaa' and 'Barman', which got the whole country singing and dancing, is back on the Ghanaian entertainment scene with a movie.
He believes that the movie would break barriers and make a fortune on the worldwide market. Currently, he is still in meetings with his partners to make the launch a big success.
For MC Kwesy, it has always been his dream to act as well as produce. Hence, after getting the opportunity to acquaint himself with both the music and movie industry, he decided to give his production dream a test. This, he said, would not be his last.
With the quality, he emphasized, 'I don't want to compare this movie to any other movie on the market. 'Koforidua Flowers' is a story you cannot predict. The acting is explosive. It is an amazing mixture of thriller and tragedy. You will not forget it in a millennium,' he pointed out.
According to him, the intensity of the acting is a bit more refined because the cast worked very hard on the production.
