President Enrique Peña Nieto today hosted the ceremony commemorating the 169th anniversary of the Heroic Deed of the Boy Heroes of Chapultepec, at which he presented six swords to six cadets of the Heroic Military College as a symbol of distinction, responsibility and commitment in the exercise of command.
in the forecourt of the Altar to the Fatherland, the president read the Honor Roll of students at the Heroic Military College: Lieutenant Juan de la Barrera and Cadets Juan Escutia, Agustin Melgar, Vicente Suárez, Fernando Montes de Oca and Francisco Márquez as well as Lieutenant José Azueta and Cadet Virgilio Uribe from the Heroic Military Naval School.
A company of cadets from the Heroic Military College fired a salvo in their memory.
On behalf of the students of the Heroic Military College, Cadet Emmanuel Torres Camacho delivered a speech, declaring that through their courageous and tenacious action, the Boy Heroes of Chapultepec, "Taught us that we should not give up in the fact of the challenges that arise, "And that we should meet them firmly and decisively".
He expressed the commitment of youth in the military to continue training to keep abreast of current requirements. "We will remain custodians of that legacy of loyalty left to us by the Boy Heroes of Chapultepec. Loyalty with honor, which is instilled and practiced in our schools in order to be the guarantors of national integrity, independence and sovereignty".
He urged cadets to advance along the path of success and achievement, and called for, "Education to be our best tool for developing the skills and capabilities that will allow us to meet tomorrow's challenges".
At the event, the president laid a wreath and mounted a guard of honor at the Altar to the Fatherland, accompanied by representatives of the legislative and judicial branches of government and Cabinet members.
The ceremony was also attended by members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Mexico.

A Hephzibah man scheduled to stand trial Monday on a charge of rape chose to plead guilty to a reduced charge.
The plea to aggravated assault with intent to rape resulted in a 10-year prison sentence for William B. Noggle, 33.
Noogle will have another 10 years on probation once he is released from prison. He was taken into custody after the guilty plea was entered in Richmond County Superior Court.
Assistant District Attorney Natalie Paine said Noggle was arrested for assaulting a woman Jan. 31, 2011. The two had once had a relationship but on the day of the offense they did not. Noggle grabbed the victim by the throat and ripped her shirt off during the assault, during which she cried and repeatedly said no, Paine said.

I am absolutely livid about the removal of the Amazon Affiliates Program in Illinois because of a new law signed by Governor Pat Quinn. This law requires Amazon and other online retailers to charge sales tax in the state whether or not they have a brick-or-mortar establishment. As a business owner and fairly new associate who is still working earnestly to understand affiliate marketing and grow my business through different channels, this is a great big blow. And, Gov. Quinn recently increased personal and business taxes.
Clearly, Illinois is not the best state to conduct business these days, and I can't see it getting any better. Are you an Illinois business with plans to relocate? Where are you going?

R.I.P. stands for Radically Invasive Projectile.
The company who makes it, G2Rammo.com says the hollow point bullets have grooved, pointed channels that will cut through human tissue like a "hole saw."
They went on to explain "this performance could prove to be very effective for law enforcement that may be in a situation where the target is behind such an obstacle whereas more energy will be carried into the intended target and not lost in the obstacle."
They also claim the ammo will "stay solid in one medium but yet have the exact same projectile predictably react as a fragmenting bullet through a different medium without alteration of the projectile."
Put more simply, this round will cause a LOT of damage.
See video of the R.I.P. in action here.
Some of the superlatives claimed by the manufacturer on their website;
* 16″ Penetration
* Up to 6″ diameter spread
* 96 gr projectile
* 2″ grouping at 25 yrds
* 1265 FPS / 490 Muzzle Energy
* 9 Separate Wound Channels
* Precision Machined
* Solid Copper / Lead Free
* Defeats all known barriers such as sheet metal, sheet rock, windshields, plywood, heavy winter clothing
Gun owners are anxious to get their hands on the Georgia made ammo.

Old Sofas, Used CDs, and Water Bottles Make Green Silence Running Shoes A Big Deal/
DesignTracker| If the story behind Green Silence marathon racing shoes doesn't bring a smile to your face, the shoe photos will. Don't these shoes look like you could just fly in them? Alright, I know that marathon runners are a serious lot.
I love products with stories behind them. Tell me that my running shoes are made from recycled CDs, old sofas, and water bottles — to cite just some of the garbage in these shoes — and I'm a happy camper.
The Green, Inc. blog points out that environmentalists aren't completely happy with the Green Silence shoe heritage. Products aren't sourced locally but shipped halfway around the world.

Inducing functional radial glia-like progenitors from cortical astrocyte cultures using micropatterned PMMA.

Radial glia cells (RGC) are multipotent progenitors that generate neurons and glia during CNS development, and which also served as substrate for neuronal migration. After a lesion, reactive glia are the main contributor to CNS regenerative blockage, although some reactive astrocytes are also able to dedifferentiate in situ into radial glia-like cells (RGLC), providing beneficial effects in terms of CNS recovery. Thus, the identification of substrate properties that potentiate the ability of astrocytes to transform into RGLC in response to a lesion might help in the development of implantable devices that improve endogenous CNS regeneration. Here we demonstrate that functional RGLC can be induced from in vitro matured astrocytes by using a precisely-sized micropatterned PMMA grooved scaffold, without added soluble or substrate adsorbed biochemical factors. RGLC were extremely organized and aligned on 2 mm line patterned PMMA and, like their embryonic counterparts, express nestin, the neuron-glial progenitor marker Pax6, and also proliferate, generate different intermediate progenitors and support and direct axonal growth and neuronal migration. Our results suggest that the introduction of line patterns in the size range of the RGC processes in implantable scaffolds might mimic the topography of the embryonic neural stem cell niche, driving endogenous astrocytes into an RGLC phenotype, and thus favoring the regenerative response in situ.

Scots councils face MORE savage cuts: Watchdog warns of £550m financial black hole
SCOTLAND'S hard-up councils face dealing with a £550million financial deficit, spending watchdogs have warned.
Finance Secretary Derek Mackay's is to present the budget next month
The Accounts Commission says the gap between spending and income could soar from £87million in 2016/17 to £367million the next financial year.
It is expected to spiral again to £553million in 2018/19, when more than a third of the country's 32 councils will face deficits greater than their emergency reserves.
A hard-hitting report by the Commission, published today, warns that local authorities will "need to make significant savings to address forecast funding gaps".
Councils need to change the way they work
The Scottish Government's budget for councils fell by £507million in real terms in 2016/17. Council bosses fear another squeeze in Finance Secretary Derek Mackay's budget next month.
Just over half of councils plan to dip into reserves this year to balance the books - with Angus Council alone planning to use almost a quarter (23 per cent).
The report warned "significant challenges for local government finance lie ahead".
It said: "Councils need to change the way they work to deal with the financial challenges they face. All councils face future funding gaps that require further savings or a greater use of reserves."
Councils' income was £18.9billion last year, with £10.9billion (57 per cent) of this coming from the Scottish Government.
This represents a 1.7 per cent real terms cut from 2010/11 but, when 2016/17 figures are taken into account, the reduction is 8.4 per cent.
The Scottish Government's budget for councils fell by £507million in real terms in 2016/17
Local authority spending stood at £19.5billion last year, with increases on "key services" such as social care "because of rising demand from an ageing population".
Kevin Keenan, finance spokesman for umbrella body Cosla, said: "There is no doubt that, despite difficult settlements from the Scottish Government, councils have managed their finances well but significant challenges lie ahead in maintaining this."
Scottish Tory local government spokesman Graham Simpson urged ministers to "come clean" on future cuts.
Labour plans to amend next month's budget to raise the basic rate of income tax by 1p
He added: "The funding pressures put on councils will undoubtedly see some increase in council tax next year and this is on top of the rise already forced on hard-working families so the SNP can spent money raised locally on their own national priorities."
Labour's deputy leader Alex Rowley highlighted his party plan to amend next month's budget to raise the basic rate of income tax by 1p adding: "We should use the tax powers of the Parliament to invest in public services and give everybody a fair chance in life."
The Scottish Government said it had 'treated local government very fairly' despite Westminster cuts
The Government said it had "treated local government very fairly" despite Westminster budget cuts.
A spokeswoman added: "This report highlights the pressures that councils - like other parts of the public sector - face, but also highlights that they are continuing to improve services.
"We expect local authorities to continue to use resources as efficiently and effectively as possible to ensure taxpayers get the best possible services and value for money."

#MondayThoughts – when i can't stop loving
4 August 2014 § Leave a comment
Maybe around this two months, i felt upside and down. I didn't know where i must go or what i should do. I felt sorry for myself for maybe a "wrong" dessicion.
But later, God say something different to me. He asked me everyday the same question. He said," do you believe in Me?"
I looked myself and i found that i'm still sit in the near of corner. You know what i means? That is mean i'm scare.
What i afraid? I didn't know!
But i realized why God asking me a same question everyday. That because He didn't want i fall into the dark.
He want me to always the bright.
He want me to follow Him into the shine.
So, what i thought today thay God never false and my dessicion is not wrong.
Because God want me to see the BIG plan for my life.
To see HIM in everywhere, in everytime, in every moment.

Fourth-year wide receiver Early Doucet has a chance to land the starting receiver spot opposite of Pro Bowler Larry Fitzgerald.
The job is his if he can perform in training camp and the preseason, while also staying healthy.
"I've been very impressed," coach Ken Whisenhunt said to The Arizona Republic. "He's in good shape, he's made some plays. We'd just like to see Early continue with that track. There's no question that when Early has been healthy and played, he's made some big plays for us."
"The guy works hard. I love Early Doucet," said Whisenhunt. "I think he's a good football player, and I hope he has an opportunity to show that this year."
Currently, receiver Andre Roberts is reportedly starting opposite of Fitzgerald, per Kent Somers of The Arizona Republic, but Somers also states the spot is still up for grabs too.

The present invention is directed to heat curable blends of organic epoxy resins and cyclic epoxy siloxane monomers. More particularly, the present invention is directed to heat curable blends of organic epoxy resins and tetraorganotetraepoxy cyclic siloxane monomers which polymerize to form compositions having high heat distortion temperatures.
Blends of epoxy silicones and organic epoxy compounds are known in the art. Reference is made, for example, to U.S. Pat. No. 4,138,255 to Crivello and to copending, commonly assigned application Ser. No. 07/331,219 to Eckberg et al. (Eckberg), filed Mar. 30, 1989.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,138,255 to Crivello discloses a method for effecting the cationic polymerization of an epoxy resin by exposing a mixture of epoxy resin and an aromatic Group VIa onium salt to radiant energy. It is disclosed in Crivello at column 3, line 54 that the epoxy resin may be composed of a mixture of epoxy monomers, epoxy prepolymers, and oxirane containing organic polymers. It is further disclosed at column 4, lines 21-22 that epoxy siloxanes can be used as the epoxy resin.
Copending, commonly assigned application Ser. No. 07/331,219 to Eckberg et al. (Eckberg) discloses a photopolymerizable coating composition containing an organic cycloaliphatic polyepoxide, a cure accelerating amount of a cycloaliphatic epoxy-functional siloxane, and a catalytic amount of a photocatalyst. The photocatalyst can be an aromatic iodonium complex salt.
The present invention is based on the discovery that a polymerizable organic epoxide composition containing certain epoxy siloxane monomers will polymerize to form compositions having heat distortion temperatures which are higher than those obtained for compositions prepared from polymerizable compositions containing organic epoxides alone or in combination with other epoxy siloxane monomers.
The epoxy siloxane monomers used in the invention were disclosed in copending, commonly assigned application Ser. No. 07/391,761 to Crivello et al. (Crivello), filed Aug. 9, 1989. Although Crivello discloses the thermal cationic polymerization of these monomers in the presence of an onium salt and a copper co-catalyst, Crivello does not disclose the combination of these epoxy siloxane monomers with organic epoxide compounds, or the criticality of the amount of onium salt catalyst to the heat distortion temperature of the polymerized composition.
The present invention is directed to a heat curable cyclic epoxy siloxane/organic epoxy resin blend which will polymerize to form a composition having a high heat distortion temperature, the blend comprising:
(A) a tetraorganotetraepoxy cyclic siloxane monomer having the general formula ##STR1## wherein each R group is, independently, a monovalent substituted or unsubstituted C1-12 alkyl, C1-12 cycloalkyl, or phenyl radical; each R' group is, independently, R, a monovalent C2-12 alkyl radical, or a monovalent epoxy functional group having 2-10 carbon atoms with the proviso that at least one of the R' groups is epoxy functional;
(B) an organic epoxy resin, the ratio of parts of (A) to parts of (B) being from about 4:1 to about 1:1;
(C) from about 2.5 to about 3.0 weight percent, based on the combined weight of (A) and (B), of an onium salt catalyst; and
(D) from about 0.25 to about 0.30 weight percent, based on the combined weight of (A) and (B), of a copper salt cocatalyst.
The present invention is further directed to the high heat distortion temperature epoxy siloxane/organic epoxy composition prepared from the thermal polymerization of the heat curable composition described above. In addition, the present invention is directed to a method for preparing an epoxy siloxane/organic epoxy composition having a high heat distortion temperature by blending an organic epoxy resin with the epoxy siloxane monomers described above and thermally polymerizing the resulting mixture in the presence of a critical amount of an onium salt catalyst and a copper salt co-catalyst.
The compositions prepared in the present invention are useful in such applications as coatings or high temperature formulations where high heat distortion temperatures are required or desired.
Component (A) of the composition of the present invention is a cyclic epoxy functional siloxane monomer having the general formula ##STR2## wherein each R group is, independently, a monovalent substituted or unsubstituted C1-12 alkyl, C1-12 cycloalkyl, or phenyl radical; and each R' group is, independently, R, a monovalent C2-12 alkyl radical, or a monovalent epoxy functional group having 2-10 carbon atoms with the proviso that at least one of the R' groups is epoxy functional.
R is preferably methyl and R' is preferably a cycloaliphatic epoxy group and, most preferably, a cycloaliphatic epoxy group derived from 3-vinyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane.
It is also contemplated that the hydrogen atoms on the R groups may be halogen substituted, preferably fluorine. Thus, one embodiment of this invention will have R defined as C1-12 haloalkyl, preferably fluoroalkyl. More preferably, in the case of halo substitution, R would be defined as trifluoropropyl.
The monomer used as component (A) in this invention can be prepared according to the method taught in copending, commonly assigned Application Ser. No. 391,761 to Crivello et al. (Crivello), filed Aug. 9, 1989, which is incorporated by reference herein.
In the Crivello method, the cyclic epoxy functional siloxane monomer of formula (I) above is obtained by hydrosilation of a cyclic silicone hydride, specifically, a tetrahydrogen tetraorgano cyclotetrasiloxane, with ethylenically unsaturated organic epoxides or with mixtures of ethylenically unsaturated organic epoxides and ethylenically unsaturated organic compounds. The ethylenically unsaturated species of the epoxides and/or epoxide/organic mixture react with the silicone hydride via addition reaction in the presence of a precious metal catalyst, such as platinum, to produce a siloxane with epoxy functionality. Such hydrosilation reactions are taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,743,377 (Ohtsu et al.), herein incorporated by reference.
The cyclic silicone hydride which can be used to prepare the monomer of formula (I) is well known and may be produced, for instance, by the hydrolysis and condensation of hydrolyzable organosilicon compounds, e.g. dichlorodimethylsilane and dichlorohydrogenmethylsilane. The cyclic silicone hydride may also be obtained by equilibrating polyorganosiloxanes and polyorganohydrogensiloxanes in the presence of strong acids. Such cyclic silicone hydrides are well known in the art and may be represented by the formula: ##STR3## wherein R is as previously defined, and each R" group is, independently, R or hydrogen with the proviso that at least one of the R" groups is hydrogen. Such cyclic silicone hydrides are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,743,377 (Ohtsu et al.), herein incorporated by reference.
The ethylenically unsaturated organic epoxides, which may react to form the epoxy-functional R' groups disclosed above, are any vinyl- or allyl-functional epoxides which will undergo addition reactions with SiH-functional groups. Preferably, the epoxides are vinyl functional cycloaliphatic epoxides. Most preferably, the vinyl functional epoxide is 3-vinyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane and is represented by the following formula: ##STR4##
Additional ethylenically unsaturated epoxides which will react to form the R' groups above that have been found to be useful in this invention include 3-isopropenyl-6-methyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]-heptane (limonene monoxide); 3,4-epoxy-1-butene (butadiene monoxide); 5,6-epoxy-1-hexene; 7,8-epoxy-1-octene; 11,12-epoxy-1-dodecene; etc.
The ethylenically unsaturated organic compounds which also may be used to form the R' groups are any substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon of from 2 to 12 carbon atoms having one double bond per molecule. If there is more than one double bond, premature crosslinking between different molecules of the hydride will occur resulting in the formation of gels. It is preferable that the double bond be on the terminal group of the organic compound. The physical properties of the final, cured product may be varied by varying the chain length of the organic group. As chain length increases, hardness decreases, and tensile, elongation, and modulus increases.
The hydrosilation catalyst which may be used to effect the addition of the ethylenically unsaturated epoxide or epoxide/organic mixture may be any suitable precious metal catalyst, preferably platinum. Such catalysts are well known in the art. Preferred catalysts are taught by Lamoreaux in U.S. Pat. No. 3,917,432; 3,197,433; and 3,220,972; hereby incorporated by reference. The platinum catalyst disclosed in the patents to Lamoreaux is a complex formed from chloroplatinic acid with up to 2 moles per gram of platinum of a member selected from the class consisting of alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, and mixtures of the above. This catalyst will sometimes be referred to herein as the "Lamoreaux catalyst".
In order to produce the cyclic epoxy siloxane monomer used in this invention, it is important to remove the traces of water from the reaction in order to prevent premature crosslinking and the subsequent formation of gels.
Component (B) of the composition of this invention is an organic epoxy resin. The term "epoxy resin" as used herein includes any monomeric, dimeric, oligomeric, or polymeric epoxy material containing one or a plurality of epoxy functional groups. For example, those resins which result from the reaction of bisphenol A (4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol) and epichlorohydrin, or by the reaction of low molecular weight phenol-formaldehyde resins (Novolak resins) with epichlorohydrin, can be used alone or in combination with an epoxy containing compound as a reactive diluent. Such diluents as phenyl glycidyl ether, 4-vinylcyclohexene dioxide, limonene dioxide, 1,2-cyclohexene oxide, glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, styrene oxide, allyl glycidyl ether, and the like, may be added as viscosity modifying agents.
In addition, the range of these compounds can be extended to include polymeric materials containing terminal or pendant epoxy groups. Examples of these compounds are vinyl copolymers containing glycidyl acrylate or methacrylate as one of the comonomers.
The ratio of parts of (A) to parts of (B) is from about 10:1, preferably about 4:1, and most preferably about 1:1.
Component (C) of the composition of this invention is a cationic onium salt catalyst. The onium salt catalyst generally has the formula:
[(R.sup.2).sub.a (R.sup.3).sub.b (R.sup.4).sub.c X].sub.d +[MQ.sub.e ].sup.-(e-f),
wherein R2 is a monovalent aromatic organic radical, R3 is a monovalent organic aliphatic radical selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl and substituted alkyl, R4 is a polyvalent organic radical forming a heterocyclic or fused ring structure selected from aliphatic radicals and aromatic radicals, X is a Group VIa element selected from sulfur, selenium and tellurium, M is a metal or metalloid, Q is a halogen radical, a is a whole number equal to 0 to 3 inclusive, b is a whole number equal to 0 to 2 inclusive, c is a whole number equal to 0 or 1 where the sum of a+b+c is a value equal to 3 or the valence of X, d=e-f, f=valence of M and is an integer equal to from 2 to 7 inclusive, e is greater than f and is an integer having a value up to 8. Such salts may be selected from the group consisting of diaryliodonium salts, triarylsulfonium salts, aryldiazonium salts, ferrocenium salts, diarylsulfoxonium salts, triarylsulfoxonium salts, dialkylphenacylsulfonium salts, dialkylhydroxyphenylsulfonium salts, phenacyltriaryl-phosphonium salts, and phenacyl salts of heterocyclic nitrogen-containing compounds. Such catalysts are taught in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,310,469 (Crivello); 4,175,972 (Crivello); 4,138,255 (Crivello); and 4,058,401 (Crivello), each of which are incorporated by reference herein.
Preferably, the onium salt is a diaryliodonium salt, and most preferably it is (4-octyloxyphenyl) phenyliodonium hexafluoroantimonate.
It is critical to the present invention that the onium salt catalyst be used in an amount within the range of from about 2.5 to about 3.0 mole percent, and preferably about 2.5 mole percent, based on the weight of component (A). At levels less than about 2.5 mole percent, low heat distortion temperatures were obtained, while at levels greater than about 3.0 mole percent, cracking of the cured samples occurred upon cooling.
Component (D) of the composition of the present invention is a copper salt cocatalyst. The copper salts which can be used in the practice of this invention include, for example, copper (I) salts such as copper halides, e.g., Cu(I) chloride, Cu(I) bromide, and the like; and copper (II) salts, such as Cu(II) benzoate, Cu(II) acetate, Cu(II) stearate, Cu(II) gluconate, Cu(II) citrate, Cu(II) formate, Cu(II) oleate, Cu(II) carbonate, and the like. Preferably, the copper salt cocatalyst used in this invention is copper stearate.
The copper salt cocatalyst is used in an amount within the range of from about 0.25 to about 0.30 mole percent, and preferably about 0.25 mole percent.
The composition of this invention may optionally contain a reducing agent which is any organic or inorganic compound or polymer capable of lowering or reducing the charge of the hetero atom of the diaryliodonium salt. Suitable reducing agents are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,239,725 (Crivello), which was previously incorporated by reference herein. Examples of suitable reducing agents include ascorbic acid and its derivatives, e.g., ascorboyl palmitate, ascorboyl oleate, and the like; tin compounds, e.g., Sn+2 carboxylic acid salts, such as stannous octoate, stannous stearate, and the like; alpha-hydroxy compounds, and iron compounds.
The polymerizable composition used in the present invention can be prepared by effecting contact between components A-D and, optionally, the other ingredients described above as suitable additives.
The composition is polymerized by heating the mixture of ingredients at a temperature and a time sufficient to effect polymerization. In general, the polymerization is carried out at a temperature of from about 120° C. to about 170° C. and for a time period of from about 30 minutes to about 2 hours. The time required to effect polymerization depends upon a number of factors such as the particular reactants and the amount of catalyst and cocatalyst used.
In order that those skilled in the art will be better able to practice the invention, the following examples are given by way of illustration and not by way of limitation.
In the examples below, the term "D4 E " refers to a cyclic epoxy monomer having the formula ##STR5##
The term "Dn E " refers to a cyclic epoxy siloxane monomer having the formula: ##STR6##
The term "M2 E " refers to an epoxy siloxane monomer having the formula: ##STR7##
The term "D2 E D2 " refers to an epoxy siloxane monomer having the formula: ##STR8##
The term "D5 E " refers to a cyclic epoxy siloxane monomer having the formula ##STR9##
The cyclic tetramer, D4 E, was prepared in the following manner.
Into a 100 mL three necked round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a Dean Stark trap containing CaH2, drying tube, nitrogen inlet, and reflux condenser were placed 52.1 g (0.42 mol) distilled 3-vinyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.,1.0]heptane and 24 g (0.1 mol) 2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4 H) which had been dried over CaH2 and then u fractionally distilled under reduced pressure. There were also added 80 mL toluene and the reaction mixture refluxed through the trap for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and 2 drops of the Lamoreaux catalyst was added. The reaction mixture was gradually warmed under a nitrogen blanket to 50°°-55° C. and maintained at that temperature for 3 hours. After standing overnight, the IR of the reaction mixture showed the absence of a band at 2100 cm-1. The solvent and excess epoxide starting material were removed under vacuum. There were obtained 52 g (87% yield) of cyclic tetrameric epoxide product.
The cyclic epoxy-siloxane, D2 E D2, was prepared as follows.
A mixture (20 g) containing the following proportions of cyclic oligomers: 85.3% D2 H D2, 7.5% D3 H D and 6.5% DH D3 (where D indicates a dimethylsiloxy group and DH indicates a methylhydrogensiloxy group; the subscript denotes the number of those groups in the ring) was placed into a 250 mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, reflux condenser and nitrogen inlet. To this mixture was added 20 g (0.16 mol) 3-vinyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.10]heptane, 150 mL toluene. The reaction mixture was dried by azeotropic distillation through a CaH2 trap for 1.5 hours, cooled and two drops of the Lamoreaux catalyst added. The temperature was raised to 50° C. for 1.5 hours., at that time the IR showed the absence of the 2100 cm-1 band ascribed to the Si-H bond. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature and then the toluene and excess epoxy compound removed on a rotary evaporator. Lastly, the mixture of epoxy compounds was subjected to high vacuum stripping at 50° C.
The mixture of cyclic epoxy-siloxane monomers, Dn E, was prepared as follows. Dichloromethylsilane (34.3 g., 0.298 mol) and methylene chloride (250 mL) were mixed together in a 500 mL round-bottom flask and cooled to 0° C. with an ice bath. Water (6.0 mL, 0.332 mol) was added via syringe pump over a 2.0 hour period, then the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stir overnight.
The mixture was extracted with water (150 mL) several times until the aqueous phase was neutral. The methylene chloride was dried with MgSO4, filtered and removed under reduced pressure. The oil was placed under high vacuum at room temperature to remove residual methylene chloride, 11.6 g. (65° C.).
The cyclic silane mixture (10.0 g., 0.167 mol Si-H) and toluene (100 mL) were mixed together in a 250 mL round bottom flask equipped with a Dean-Stark trap, condenser and N2 (g) inlet. The solution was azeotropically dried for 2 hours, then cooled to room temperature. The Lamoreaux catalyst (30 mg) was added, then vinyl cyclohexene oxide (22.54 g., 0.183 mol) was added slowly over a 30 minute period. The reaction did not exhibit a dramatic exotherm, however the temperature rose from 23° C. to 28° C. The reaction was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature, then 2 hours at 50° C. to 55° C. (oil bath). After 2 hours (no Si-H was evident in the IR), the reaction was stopped and mercaptobenzothiazole (6 mg.) was added. The toluene was removed under reduced pressure and the excess vinyl cyclohexene oxide was removed under high vacuum. This yielded 25.9 g. of crude product (85%).
The cyclic epoxy pentamer was prepared by first distilling the cyclic pentamer (D5 H) from an oligomeric distribution of cyclic oligomers (n=3-10) prepared as in Example 3 above, and then hydrosilyating the cyclic pentamer with 3-vinyl-7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane.
In the examples below, samples for heat distortion temperature (HDT) testing were prepared as follows. The Epon R 825 (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) was warmed until the material melted, then mixed with the cyclic epoxy siloxane monomer(s). (4-Octyloxyphenyl) phenyliodonium hexafluoroantimonate ("octacat") was then added to the solution with slight warming, followed by the addition of the copper stearate. The resulting mixture was poured into a Teflon mold, which was prewarmed to 80° C. The mold was heated in an oven at 150°-170° C. for a period of approximately 1-2 hours. The samples were slowly cooled to room temperature and then removed from the mold.
Samples having the compositions set forth in Table 1 were prepared and their heat distortion temperatures measured according to the method described above. The heat distortion temperatures of these samples are set forth in Table 1.

(.sup.a no postcure; .sup.b copper naphthanat was used; --: samples cracked on cooling
The data presented in Table 1 indicates that the heat distortion temperatures varied depending upon the monomer. The highest distortion temperatures were recorded for the highly functionalized cyclic oligomer. These monomers, due to their cyclic structure and high degree of functionality, form a cured material with a high crosslink density. Attempts to prepare casting resins of the cyclic pentamer (D5 E) failed when the bars continually cracked upon cooling. This was also observed when higher levels of catalyst (3.5% by weight) were cured with the cyclic tetramer (D4 E).
When the Epon® 825 bars were cured at 120° C. and no postcure was made, heat distortion temperatures were observed to vary with catalyst level. However, when these resins were postcured at 150° C. in an oven, higher distortion temperatures were obtained and the difference in distortion temperature disappeared.
In Examples 1-7, mixtures of cyclic epoxy siloxane monomers with the bisglycidyl ether of bisphenol A or Epon® 825 were prepared. All of the mixtures were composed of one-half Epon® 825 and one-half cyclic epoxysilicone by weight. The samples for HDT tests were prepared as previously described. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

The data presented in Table 2 indicates that the heat distortion temperature of an Epon® 825 polymerized composition is increased if the D4 E epoxy siloxane monomer is blended with the Epon® 825 resin in the polymerizable composition. It can also be seen from Table 2 that the heat distortion temperatures for the various mixed resins were consistent with both components. In general, the observed temperatures were the average of the two components. In addition, the same trend with the cyclic epoxysiloxane/Epon® 825 mixtures were observed. Higher distortion temperatures were recorded for the cyclic monomers than for the linear dimer M2 E or the difunctional cyclic monomer D2 E D2. The monomers with higher functionality and higher crosslinking capability had higher distortion temperatures.
Thus, the data provided in Tables 1 and 2 indicates that the heat distortion temperatures vary according to the onium salt catalyst level and the resin composition.

Hey, it's Democratic National Convention week… so it's time for KELO-TV's Leland Steva to interview John Thune about last week's Republican National Convention. Cue awkward smoochie sounds:
"Donald Trump represents a new direction and again I don't agree with everything. I don't agree with some of his tactics or the way he goes about doing things but I think the choice for the American people is a very clear one," Thune said [Leland Steva, "Senator Thune Talks About Republican Convention," KELO-TV, 2016.07.25].
The logical follow-up here is, "Like what, Senator Thune? On what don't you agree with your Presidential nominee?" or, "Does new direction mean positive direction?" But Steva doesn't press Thune on his disagreements or on whether "new direction" means anything other than surrendering Europe to Trump's pal Putin. Steva just slop-confabulates Trump's false cries of rising crime with Thune's vague concerns about national security:
Despite FBI numbers showing the violent crime rate has been decreasing for years, whoever took the podium during the Republican National Convention talked about the need to improve national security. Thune agrees with the message.
"I think we need to be coming up with solutions to keep Americans safe in what is becoming an increasingly dangerous world," Thune said [Steva, 2016.07.25].
Steva gets points for including the hyperlink but loses points for not asking Thune directly to square fact with convention fiction.
Steva helps Thune with a CBS poll showing 67% of Americans don't think Hillary Clinton is honest or trustworthy. Steva doesn't mention that the same poll shows 56% of Americans don't find Donald Trump honest or trustworthy. He also omits that the same poll shows zero post-convention bump for Trump: compared to the results of a CBS pre-convention poll, Trump and Clinton both gained two points and stayed tied after Trump's RNC speech. Most importantly, Steva leaves out that while Trump beats Clinton in popular perception of having "strong qualities of leadership," Clinton beats Trump on temperament, personality, and preparation for the job (61% say Trump lacks the temperament and personality of a good President, and 58% say he's not prepared for the job).
Steva misses another chance to contradict Thune's bubbles-and-bunny-farts assessment that "Republicans came out of the convention in pretty good shape." The CBS poll shows that while 50% of registered voters who watched the convention came away thinking better of Trump and 36% came away thinking worse of the nominee, 43% of convention-viewing voters came away thinking worse of the GOP, just a tick more than the 42% who came away thinking better of Thune's party. Better study that number, Senator Thune: your nominee's Manhattan tuxedo coattails appear to be a little short. Not that The Donald minds—Trumpism says as long as he builds his brand, who cares what happens to anyone else's, right?

My app says I can do this, so tomorrow I am going have an early cup of coffee to catch a view venus before sunrise -- March 23, 2017. If the weather holds, actually cooperates with forcasters, we should see another Venus view just after sunset. I am headed to one of the coastal outlooks for both observations. Why attempt to observe these infrequent opportunities? Early observers, many hundreds of years ago, used these types of observatioins to figure out we are not the center of the universe;)
Let me know what you see and I'll do the same.
MIRA's next lecture is on the events website: http://www.mira.org/events.htm
The program is as follows:
Title: Exploring Pluto: Oceans at the Edge of the Solar System!, Dr. Francis Nimmo, U.C. Santa Cruz
Location & time: MPC Lecture Forum #102 on January 21, 2017 at 7:30pm
Good News.
Hi all! Here we are at Borrego Springs again. Fred, Ron, Jeff and Al came down a day early on Wed. but there was still a thin layer of high cirrus that mucked up the evening. So that night was a bust. Annie got in on Thursday and we all went down to Carmelita's for some good Mexican food. Thursday night was a little better, but Friday was the best so far. It's been really hot during the day - 95 degress and the seeing/guiding doesn't settle dow until about 10:00 PM, so there's lots of time to wander about checking out everyone else's gear. Some pretty good stuff out there.
For those who attended the club's monthly meeting and those who missed it, I have attached a .pdf version of the presentation with additional web links for references. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Al Smith
The Program for the SCAC Meeting on September 11th will be by our own Al Smith, PhD. speaking on "Finding Dark Sites." He will address 1) Why we want to observe, or photograph, at dark sites. 2) How to quantify and measure dark sites, and 3) Where to find mapped information on dark sites. One of Al's topics will be the selection process used to site the 10 meter telescope on the summit of Mauna Kea at the Keck Observatory. It will surely be an interesting evening!

Had a great time relaxing at the beach and hanging with family. Was great to be able to walk out to the ocean each morning and not worry about anything else.
Had a wonderful time with my family. Beautiful house with plenty of room. The bathroom down stairs is really fancy. I would recommend this place. As to the owner have a more detailed list of amenities. Coffee maker and BBQ don't work. Have extra towels and blankets. The over experience was awesome. Come enjoy the peace and relaxation this place has to offer.
We had an amazing week at the property. The rooms and property met the descriptions provided by the host very well. The rooms were spacious and beds were VERY comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The view from the main room and master bed room were EXCEPTIONABLE! We loved being so close to the beach for long walks, shelling, and just enjoying the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. We would consider going back and staying again if we make another trip to Mexico. We were a little disappointed in the fact the internet and satellite TV were in the amenities, but were nonexistent. There was a nice TV and DVD player, but don't count on the being connected to the internet. This wasn't all bad, we had a Stars Wars marathon each evening. Internet would have been nice to do some research of the area, which I STRONGLY suggest you do before you get there. There is so much potential in the area, but unless you speak some Spanish it could be a struggle. Go to La Bufadora, highlight of the trip!! Great shopping, you can play with lion and tiger cubs, and the water exploding through the rocks is amazing. It is worth a day! No one can predict the weather, but even with the frequent storms we had some sunshine and beach time. The host communicated fairly well. Directions were accurate, but seemed a little vague....we trusted them and they took us right to the door. The little detour was our own fault ;-) This house is great and I would recommend it. Just be sure you ask lots of questions and you communicate any expectations you might have. The outside furniture and patio area was GREAT, but the grill was rusty and will probably will be replaced. There is a nice area on the roof to sit and enjoy sunsets, which we would have taken advantage of it the storms would have allowed. If it is rainy watch for a leaks, the owners seemed to be unaware of them, so now that they know I am certain they will be sealed. They seem to care for the property very well. I would suggest asking them to air out the downstairs if you are the first staying after a long absence of guests, it was a little musty. We also experienced the cleaning lady being there when we arrived, she was very sweet and we just left to go shopping while she finished.
The house was very nice and has a great view but my experience was not a good one. On arrival around 12:45 pm the cleaning lady was still cleaning the house which was not a big deal but with us unpacking it made it harder for her to finish so she just rushed to clean what she could. So we ended up cleaning the rest of the house and the backyard which was trashed by the previous guest. Once settled we find out there's black ants all over the house and on the beds as well. Also the listing said the place has Wi-Fi which that was false we had to ask the neighbors for Wi-Fi to contact owner. The second day got even worse the trash was over flowing due to trash fees not paid by owner as the guys that pick up the trash stated. The third day we ran out of water also due to the fees not getting paid. The cleaning lady helped us by sending a guy to refill the water tank. We almost ran out of gas as well. It was a very disappointed experience but the weather and view made it pleasant 3 days. The owner should join the association or manage the place better this house has lots of potential.

Moderator (Susan): Good morning, everyone. And thank you for joining us for today's media briefing. Today's announcement centers around an announcement that regards a significant food safety advancement to protect American citizens from food-borne illnesses.
Here in the studio we have Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. And on the phone from Minnesota we have Under Secretary for Food Safety, Dr. Elisabeth Hegen.
If you'd like to ask questions of them on this please let us know by pressing *1 on your touchtone pad. And with that I turn it over to the Secretary.
Secretary Vilsack: Susan, thanks very much and thanks all for joining us today and to Under Secretary Hagen for being with us as well.
From the first days of this Administration, food safety has been a priority. It's been a priority because it saves lives. It saves medical expenses. And it keeps people productive.
The President established a Food Safety Working Group and asked Secretary Sebelius from the Health and Human Services and myself to co-chair that effort. And over the course of the last several years, we've taken a number of steps pursuant to recommendations from the Food Safety Working Group to improve food safety in the United States including additional testing of bench trim and ground beef, performance standard improvements for poultry, a public health information system to identify risks earlier, a uniform incident command system to ensure coordinated response in the event of a recall, working in partnership with the FDA and, most recently, a significant public service campaign based on the concepts of clean, separate, cook and chill.
Today we take another step forward in this effort by announcing six additional serogroups of pathogenic E. coli in non-intact raw beef which is ground beef and tenderized steaks. In announcing and determining those to be adulterants, we are in a sense indicating that if they are found in raw beef that those samples will prohibited from sale to consumers.
Now why do we focus on non-O157? Well, the CDC has indicated it's responsible for a majority of the non-O157 illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths. And it's estimated that over 112,000 annual foodborne illnesses occur as a result of non-O157, twice the rate of O157:H7 which has already been declared an adulterant over a period of many years.
We estimate at USDA that of that 112,000 annual foodborne illnesses, 36,700 would be attributable to beef. FoodNet has indicated in the last decade a 284 percent increase of confirmed illnesses as a result of non-O157; while we've seen a 27 decrease in the same period of time from O157. And children under five are most impacted and most susceptible to the severe consequences of these pathogens.
So starting in March of 2012, USDA will launch a testing program initially in beef manufactured trim to detect these pathogens. And, if found, sale for consumption by people will be prohibited.
One of the reasons we're doing this is because these pathogens can survive ordinary cooking. We hope to streamline our testing methods by using samples that are already being used and tested for other pathogens to make sure that we are doing this in a steamlined and efficient way.
Now this already compliments efforts that are already underway within the industry itself. Costco, a major retailer, has basically established this as a criteria or condition for its purchase. And Beef Products, Inc., a major processor, has already begun testing on their own. Now the non-O157s that we'll be looking at are O26, O111, O45, O145, O121, and O103.
Now this police that we're adopting and establishing today and announcing today is in line with the responsibilities that we have under the Federal Meat Inspection Act and is based on a process that was used with O157 when we declared it as an adulterant after the Jack-in-the-Box outbreak where four children unfortunately and tragically died.
This is another opportunity for us to build on the work of the Food Safety Working Group to make sure that we're doing appropriate and necessary steps to protect the consuming public and to further enhance food safety in this country. As I said at the beginning of my remarks, the reason why there's a focus on food safety is because it saves lives. It saves medical expenses. And it keeps people productive.
With that I want to turn it over to Dr. Hagen for any comments that she'd like to make and then we'll be glad to answer any questions.
Under Secretary Hagen: Thank you, Secretary Vilsack. And thank you, everyone, for joining us this morning.
You know I don't really have much to add to what Secretary Vilsack has already said. This is a really significant step this morning for American families. For everybody who consumes ground beef in this country you can feel assured that we are doing everything that we can based upon all of the data and all of the science that has been accumulated over the years.
We're doing everything that we can to protect your families. This is about preventing illnesses. This is about saving lives. And we're very pleased to be with you this morning to discuss this new policy.
Moderator (Susan): All right. With that, we will go to our callers that are on the line. If you'd like to ask a question, please let us know by pressing *1.
Our first call comes from Beef Magazine with West Ishmael.
Mr. Ishmael: Yes. Good morning. I was just curious where the funding for the additional testing comes from. Is that going to be private or tax dollars?
Secretary Vilsack: This is testing that USDA will do and therefore it's within the FSIS budget.
Moderator (Susan): Our next call comes from Edward Kohan with ObamaFoodorama.com.
Ms. Kohan: Thank you so much for doing this call. Can you tell me? Will the testing protocols cover imported meats? And will it also expand in the future to include, for instance, antibiotic resistant Salmonella? Secretary Vilsack: I'm sorry. I didn't catch the first part of your question. Would you mind repeating that?
Ms. Kohan: Will the new testing requirements include imported meats?
Secretary Vilsack: Well, the food safety responsibilities of USDA in terms of the imported products into the United States is that we are convinced that what's coming into the country is equivalent in terms of testing and safety to that which we have in this country. So we will certainly work with our import partners to make sure that they understand the importance of this.
As far as antibiotics, that's whole different issue. And I think we'll just focus today on just the announcement.
Moderator (Susan): Next up on the line we have Janie Gabbett with Meatingplace.
Ms. Gabbett: Secretary Vilsack, you mentioned starting to test trim in March. When would you anticipate testing ground beef?
Secretary Vilsack: The Under Secretary will respond to that because she probably has a better understanding of the timing.
Under Secretary Hagen: Sure. Good morning, Janie. You know, as the Secretary said, we will begin testing in beef trim initially because we know or that's where we really get kind of the biggest bang for our buck there. We are able to prevent the greatest amount of contamination. So by stopping products from moving forward to multiple grinders at that trim point in the process we think that that's the most important place to start.
We're going to look at the data that we're getting back and we're going to look at how to best deploy our resources. And we'll look at expanding from there.
But the initial testing will start in trim and the components with the entire ground beef component testing program. So as we get more information about that and as we move forward with the plan to expand the program we'll certainly be very transparent about that. And we would probably do that through another Federal Register notice.
Moderator (Susan): Up next on the line we have Sally Schuff with Feedstuffs. Sally.
Ms. Schuff: Yes. Good morning. Thank you for taking my question. My question is there has been some concern about the availability of state-of-the-art tests for the other six tests. Are you convinced that you have the testing capability for these?
Secretary Vilsack: I'm going to briefly respond to that and again ask Dr. Hagen to sort of amplify. We obviously would not be taking these steps if we didn't feel that we had a good way of identifying these pathogens.
We think it's important and necessary to take this step. It has obviously been awhile. It's taken some time for the industry and for us to determine what we can do from a testing perspective. But we're confident that we have appropriate tests to begin in March of 2012. And we're hopeful that over time obviously we'll learn more.
Dr. Hagen.
Under Secretary Hagen: Sure. Thanks for your question, Sally. And the Secretary is correct. We're absolutely confident in the methodology that we have developed. We, in fact, published that methodology in, I believe, October of 2010, last fall. And we've continued to revise and enhance the methodology to validate it in our own regulatory testing laboratories.
And one of the reasons that we always publish our methodologies is so that they are widely available. They essentially are an open source. And that the industry and others who want to actually utilize those methods directly, you know, just adopt those specific methods, they can do that or they can build their own methods.
A couple of points. There were a couple of very important things when we began developing this methodology that we said were absolute. One of them was that the method had to be just as good, as specific and as sensitive as the testing of non-O157s as it is for O157. And that it had to take the same amount of time.
We were very sensitive to the issues that industry faces with test and hold and being able to retain products while awaiting test results. And now with the test result policy the industry is required to do that. So we were very sensitive to that.
And we are able to report negative results which are most important for the industry in terms of releasing product in the same amount of time that we are able to do it for O157:H7. So that's something that was really important to us when we developed this methodology.
One other point that once the docket is available for your review that you will see in there is part of this announcement includes a laboratory methods validation guidance. It provides information for the industry and for manufacturers about how to go about validating any methodology that they may develop not only for these new non-O157s but for O157s.
So we're confident in our methodology and we're going to continue to revise it and to hone it as we do with our methodology for all of our pathogens that we test for. And we welcome the input from industry and from other sources on that methodology.
Secretary Vilsack: I'll just add to Dr. Hagen's comments a reminder that we have already seen a response from several major players in this space, Costco requiring it, the Beef Products folks doing it. And I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't other processors that are engaged and involved in testing as well.
Moderator (Susan): We continue with our callers on the line. Gary DiGiuseppe with Arkansas Radio Network.
Mr. Digiuseppe: Thank you. Just a question on the pathogenicity of the big six. Is it the same as O157:H7? Comparable to? How would you describe it?
Secretary Vilsack: Well, again I'm going to let Dr. Hagen respond to the details of this. I would only point out that and to reiterate what I said earlier which is that in terms of the rate of illnesses and hospitalizations and foodborne illness what we believe to be the case is that the annual foodborne illness rate is twice the rate for these non-O157s than O157s.
Under Secretary Hagen: Thanks for your question, Gary. The things about these organisms and we've been focused on them for as long as we have is that they possess the same what we would call molecular arsenal as O157:H7. They possess the same molecular virulence factors that cause the clinical syndromes that we see with O157:H7. This includes in its mildest form diarrhea. Then moving onto more serious illnesses such as bloody diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis.
And one of the most feared complications from all these estechs (phonetics) as we call them is something called hemolytic-uremic syndrome or the acronym is HUS. This includes a combination of anemia, kidney failure and inability to clot the blood properly. And this is most likely to occur in children, young children under the age of five and in the elderly. And of course all of the estechs that we're talking about today are capable of killing people as well.
So that's why we've been so focused on that particular piece of the science. What package do these organisms possess to make them similar?
The other pieces that we've been focused on are the same things that we've looked at for O157:H7 back in the early 1990s when it was declared an adulterant. And the Secretary already alluded to one of those important facts.
One is that these organisms can survive ordinary cooking. In the United States, people often enjoy their hamburgers cooked medium rare or medium. They enjoy their hamburgers cooked pink. And we know that in the absence of a determination of 160 degrees by a meat thermometer that these organisms could survive in a hamburger that's not properly cooked.
We know that very few organisms in all the cases that we're talking about today are required to make people sick at a very low infectious dose. And again they possess a package of unusually virulent factors that contribute to the severe illness clinical spectrum that we see.
So, yes, that's why we're acting today.
Moderator (Susan): We continue with our callers on the line from Meat and Poultry Magazine, Joel Crews.
Mr. Crews: Yes. Thanks for taking my call. I had a quick question about there's been some cost estimates thrown around. What is the cost that you all have estimated or put toward this as part of the budget?
Secretary Vilsack: The cost to FSIS is approximately between $500,000 and $750,000.
Moderator (Susan): All right. Our last question comes from Bill Tomson with Dow Jones.
Mr. Tomson: Yes. Hi. Thanks for taking the question. How long did it take to put together these -- How long have you been working on this putting together all the technology for the new tests and so forth? I mean, when was it that you decided this was an area where you wanted to go?
Secretary Vilsack: Bill, I became interested in this probably sometime in the early part of 2010, latter part of 2009/early part of 2010. At that time, we were working on the testing procedures. That took some time. And so we've obviously been working on this for a while.
And we're happy that we're here today beginning a process which we think over time is going to save lives and save hospitalizations and save illness and save people from losing work and being not as productive and certainly protecting our children and the most vulnerable of our populations.
Mr. Tomson: Thanks.
Moderator (Susan): And with that this media briefing comes to an end. Thank you for joining us.

0General Commentdamn.. this is fucking strong... how popular is this band? cuz this is really fucking racist. Also, what type of band is "Anal Cunt"? metal, or just fucking around nonsense redneck music?myownprison333on May 03, 2002 Link
0General CommentI agree. Cant believe this is actually a band. Not worthy of the title. :sigh:
0General CommentI don't appreciate that
Diss of another band ain't great, but it happens. That is really racist though. If Barenaked Ladies got penalized for their name, how come these guys exist?
0General CommentWait ... this is ... wait , is this even a band? Yeah, um Anal Cunt, not the best name for a band ... seeing that if they ever get popular they are only going to be able to play at cheap sex shops that sell condoms to child molesters ...
0General Commentjesus...you people kill me. Yeah..i agree..they might have crossed the line with a few things in this song...but just laugh at them...they're hilarious...and yes, they are a band...they've been around for a long time. I think they're as popular now as they're ever gonna get.BeautifulDisasteron May 10, 2002 Link
0General CommentI don't think they crossed the line. They are such a good damn band. I saw them in concert and it was the best show I've been to. I LOVE this song, like all the others.fleshandboneon May 10, 2002 Link
0General CommentAnal Cunt is the name of a GG Allin song. Presumably that's where they got the band name.
Anal Cunt has a song called "Everyone In Anal Cunt Is Dumb" where they make racial slurs about themselves.ilikeveganbutteron May 13, 2002 Link
0General CommentYeah exactly.. if you take them seriously you are fucking dumb cause they have made songs that make fun of themselves. The singer even wrote a song about himself and made fun of himself.mourninghasbrokenon June 13, 2002 Link

Pilates is an innovative system of mind-body exercise first developed by Joseph Pilates (1883-1967). The entire Pilates philosophy stems from the Roman motto "Mens sana in corpore sano," or, "A sound mind in a sound body."
Pilates is often referred to as the "thinking person's" exercise of choice. You learn the value of paying attention to what you are doing to maximize the benefits of each exercise. What people quickly discover is that awareness and mental focus make the Pilates experience a truly effective, safe and deeply-felt exercise program. Many report feeling stronger almost immediately – especially in midriff, and notice that their overall flexibility is better. As a result, posture improves, and aches and pains virtually disappear. No worries though, if you don't feel something happening right away, trust the process and time will tell!
At BODY HARMONICS we always approach Pilates as a system of exercise for the whole body. Postural symmetry, core control to facilitate optimal movement of the spine, hips and shoulders, muscular flexibility, joint mobility and strengthening through the complete range of motion of all joints are incorporated into every exercise. Instead of isolating muscle groups, the whole body is trained, integrating the upper and lower extremities in every plane.
Main apparatus used include: Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Springboard, Barrels, Resistance Props, Balance Props.
Pilates exercises develop a strong "core," or center of the body. The core consists of more than 20 muscles and includes the deep abdominal muscles along with the muscles closest to the spine. Control of the core is achieved by integrating the trunk, hips and shoulders so you move with ease and power. In other words, the core is much more than just your abdominals!
Conventional workouts tend to build short, bulky muscles - the type most prone to injury. Pilates elongates and strengthens, improving muscle elasticity and joint mobility. The result is a body with balanced strength and flexibility that is less likely to be injured.
Pilates exercises train several muscle groups at once through smooth, continuous movements. By developing proper technique, you can actually re-train your body to move in safer, more efficient patterns of motion - invaluable for injury recovery, sports performance, good posture and optimal health.
No other exercise system is as gentle to your body while making it strong and resilient, lean and flexible. At BODY HARMONICS we believe in pushing the Pilates envelop so the repertoire becomes versatile for almost anything from rehabilitation to sports conditioning.
In conventional workouts, weak muscles tend to get weaker and strong muscles tend to get stronger. The result is muscular imbalance - a primary cause of injury and chronic back pain. Pilates conditions the whole body, even the ankles and feet. Your entire musculature is evenly balanced and conditioned, helping you enjoy daily activities and sports with greater ease and less chance of injury.
Pilates gets your mind in tune with your body. By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration on smooth, flowing movement, you become acutely aware of how your body feels, where it is in space, and how to control its movement. Proper breathing helps you execute movements with maximum power and efficiency, and also helps to reduce stress.
Modifications to the exercises allow for a range of difficulty from beginner to more advanced. The beauty of Pilates is that you can get the workout that best suits you now, and increase the intensity as your body conditioning improves.

Status of Pettus Book
Most of the past month was spent in resolving detailed issues,such as unknown dates, incomplete citations, etc.,where I had flagged them during reviews. Many of the chapters are now in final form (I hope). I have begun creating an index, which will be a rather tedious process. Later this week, I will leave the U.S. to spend a week in Norwich, UK, and a week in The Netherlands and Belgium. During my stay in Norwich, I expect to visit family shrines and attend the opening of an exhibition on the founding of the Norwich Library by Sir John Pettus, Knt., in 1608. I also hope to visit the Rotterdam Archives, which has records of contracts between William Pettus of Norwich and his factors in Rotterdam during the 1630s. One of the contracts provides for the education of his son John as a merchant. I hope to find something about Thomas Pettus II of Virginia, who went to Holland before 1687.

Vinyl sign is an important component of advertising display systems. The instant visual impact of an advertising message and your marketing efforts however start during the production with your signage equipment. Other than choosing the right vinyl sign for your application, setting up your vinyl cutting machine correctly is the primary step in developing a quality sign.
There are two main sizes of machines, firstly a cutter that is generally 650 mm wide and takes vinyl rolls up to 610 mm that can fit on a stand or a bench top. For larger rolls, approximately 1220 mm wide, a cutter on a stand is more apt choice. However, the setup process is same for both.
There are two areas, the cutting blade setup and the surrounding environment you cut in, that need attention to guarantee success.
Make sure that the cutting blade is set up correctly with the right pressure and the depth suitable to the material you are using. The cutter is like a surgical blade and it remains continuously in contact with the material unless it needs to lift up and go to a space.
Most of the cutters have a multi depth cutting attachment. This lets you position a cover that goes over the blade so it doesn't cut deeper than you require. If the blade depth is too long, there is a risk of snagging on the vinyl with a result that the vinyl starts to look crumpled. However, by setting the length of the blade correctly, you can cut very precisely.
One must choose a cutting bit with the cutting length or edge that most accurately matches the thickness of the material to be cut. It is also vital to ensure that the cutting edge is at least as long as the thickness of the material to be cut. For this, start by testing the blade length manually with a hard surface and the material to be cut. Whenever you cut, you can adjust the multi depth blade holder and cover according to the requirement. For example, if your material is 0.5 mm in depth, the depth of the blade must be 0.6-0.7 mm.
However, the manual test doesn't put a consistent pressure on the material and you will have to put the blade holder back into the machine and set the right pressure to complete the work. For example, on some reflective films like honeycomb reflective film that has a very thick topcoat and thin liner the blade pressure is crucial. In this condition, you have to have sufficient pressure for the machine to cut through the material but not too much to cut through the bottom layer.
Read more Vinyl cutter blade : http://first-reviews.com/vinyl-cutter-blades/
Make sure that there are no obstructions in front or behind the cutting machine. It is important that the material runs through the machine backwards and forwards in a straight line. Make sure there is nothing behind the unit that will obstruct the free movement of the vinyl.
Simultaneously, don't have anything on the floor that will make the material to lift or catch. By keeping the surrounding environment clear, you will be able to run up to 50m in length without the need to touch anything.
When the setup is not right, the material doesn't run through the machine in a proper alignment and risk not activating one of the eye sensors. Simultaneously, there is a risk of jamming the machine as it is off track. For example, if you are cutting words for a van of say 4 meters in length, it needs to be precise to get the desired affect and if the tracking is off, you may have to again work on the sign cutting and you will end up wasting a nice amount of vinyl material.
In short, the key to cutting success is to make your environment is not cluttered. Use a flat surface with nothing around for a smooth free flow of the material. Also, ensure that you use the right blade and multi depth cutting attachment and set your cutter to the correct pressure to cut precisely. With this you can ensure the quality of the finished advertising sign.

Mu Delta Gets Progressive
The Brothers of Mu Delta at Rollins College recently participated in a campus-wide eco-friendly progressive dinner with other Greek and Residential Organizations. Organization house managers coordinated the safari-themed event, allowing members of each organization to travel throughout the Rollins campus for different sustainable foods.
The dinner, which consisted of all locally-grown foods, culminated with a large event at the Mowbray Sustainability House in honor of the large green initiative that has recently taken off on campus.
Mu Delta Lodge Manager Colby Loetz, '11, said "The best part was being at Mowbray House and listening to live music, free Jeremiah's ice cream, and just getting to hang out there and mingle with other organizations."
The event proved to be very successful, giving all of the participating organizations the opportunity to come together for great fun while also making an impact on their community.
"I think the dinner went off without a hitch. The one downside was that we had invited faculty to the dinner and we were bummed that more didn't show up. Other than that, the food was great," said Loetz.
The successful event will continue as an annual tradition at Rollins, and Chi Psi will remain active participants.
