This application is a divisional application of a prior copending nonprovisional application filed Nov. 12, 1999, having Ser. No. 09/439,522, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,719,955, which claims benefit to a Provisional Application filed on Nov. 12, 1998 having Ser. No. 60/108,031.
The present invention is generally directed to a novel microporous solid that can be effectively used in catalytic applications, such as in automotive exhaust treatment. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a microporous composition that is constructed by employing a salt template which can be readily removed without destroying the framework of the micropore. Further, depending upon the templating salt used and the concentration of the salt, various microporous solids can be formed having different geometric structures.
In the U.S. chemical industry, catalysts are used in over 90% of the manufacturing processes, transforming raw chemical ingredients into petroleum products, synthetic rubber and plastics, food products, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, as well as controlling vehicle and industry emissions. Catalytic processes are involved in nearly 20% (approximately $1 trillion) of the U.S. gross domestic product and associated jobs. In economic terms, the U.S. chemical industry produces over 7,000 different products worth an estimated $375 billion per year, and generates 10% of the nation's total exports. Worldwide, the manufacture of catalysts themselves, which come in forms as disparate as biological enzymes (specialized proteins) to fine metal powders to complex inorganic compounds like zeolites, is a $10 billion industry. The chemical industry, which is highly dependent upon catalysis, has the greatest trade surplus of all U.S. industries.
However, both chemical and refining industries have lost market share in recent years. New catalyst technologies are required to develop cleaner, safer, more energy-efficient, and lower cost processes because most existing processes were conceived when energy use and pollution minimization were less important than today.
Microporous solids have been explored as one possible material for such catalytic applications (also useful in other related applications, such as sorbent and molecular sieves applications). Microporous solids comprise a fascinating class of materials with most of their interesting properties resulting from the fact that the frameworks facilitate a structurally confined space on the order of small molecules. These spaces consist of micropore structures that can be used as a microreactor allowing for selective and controlled chemical processes.
Zeolites and zeolite-type materials, for instance, are well known for their practical importance in industrial processes, such as gas separation, catalysis, and shape-selective synthesis. The naturally occurring and synthetic microporous solids, including aluminosilicates, aluminophosphates, substituted alumino-phosphates, and zinco- (or beryllo-) phosphates or arsenates, are closed-shell, diamagnetic solids.
Significant progress in the synthesis of transition-metal-containing zeolite analogues has recently occurred, mainly because of the potential importance of these materials in industrial catalysis. In particular, a great deal of research activity has occurred relating to the use of organic and inorganic templates to direct the synthesis of zeolite-type, micro- and mesoporous materials. The open-framework solids developed from such research activity conceivably possess some unique chemical properties that are derived from enhanced catalytic activity (e.g. redox chemistry with respect to the anchored transition metal center) combined with shape-selective absorptivities, as compared to the Si- and Al- based materials.
However, in these transition-metal-containing zeolite analogues, low temperatures have typically been employed during synthesis, in part, to avoid the formation of condensed frameworks. Due to such low temperatures, the templating agents used cannot be readily removed from the structure by heating without destroying the framework of micropores. Specifically, because organic or organometallic templating molecules are often bonded strongly, such as via a covalent bond, to the microporous frameworks, the framework may collapse as the templating molecule is removed. As such, the effectiveness of such materials in novel applications is thereby diminished.
Therefore, a need currently exists for a class of new cost-effective catalysts that improve the yields of products, cheapen or simplify processes, open up attractive products previously too costly to market, and/or reduce the amount of pollution. In particular, the need exists for a class of microporous solids that allow removal of the space-filling, charge-compensation molecules without disrupting the overall microporous framework.
The present invention is directed to the design, synthesis, evaluation, and modeling of new and improved catalytic materials that will better meet the needs of tomorrow's environmental and biochemical industries. The invention encompasses salt-templated microporous phosphate, arsenate, germanate and silcate analogs of zeolites. These newly discovered microporous solids exhibit superior structural, chemical, and physical properties compared to existing zeolite-based catalysts. In the proposed materials, the active sites and structures necessary for redox catalysis, for example, are included as part of the framework to facilitate easy separation and efficient recycling during the catalytic process. Further, a combinatorial approach along with the convention high-temperature, and/or high-pressure solid-state methods can be employed for properly fine-tuning the composition.
The new materials are potentially important for application in automotive exhaust treatment for pollution abatement, for removal of contaminates from alkaline solutions, for immobilization of halide salt radioactive waste, and for other various applications.
Microporous solids made according to the present invention can, in one embodiment, have a general composition as follows:
A=alkali and alkaline-earth metals
M=di- and trivalent transition metals
X=P, As, Si, Ge
and wherein y is greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. Single-crystal structural studies show that these materials exhibit microporous frameworks with the pore size in the range of from about 5.3 to about 12.7 angstroms.
In contrast to organically templated microporous solids, the materials of the present invention allow the space-filling, charge-compensation templates to be removed without destroying the framework of the micropore. The materials have a very stable framework, which can endure extensive heating up to 650� C. The materials possess very attractive chemical properties in that ion-exchange and insertion (intercalation) reactions can readily take place at room temperature.
A full and enabling disclosure of the present invention, including the best mode thereof, directed to one of ordinary skill in the art, is set forth more particularly in the remainder of the specification, which makes reference to the appended figures in which:
FIGS. 7(A)-7(D) are SEM images of microporous solids made in accordance with the present invention.
Repeat use of reference characters in the present specification and drawings is intended to represent same or analogous features or elements of the invention.
It is to be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the present discussion is a description of exemplary embodiments only, and is not intended as limiting the broader aspects of the present invention, which-broader aspects are embodied in the exemplary constructions.
The present invention is directed to the design, synthesis, evaluation, and modeling of new and improved catalytic materials that will better meet the needs of modern chemical and biochemical industries. In particular, the present invention is directed to newly synthesized microporous solids that exhibit superior structural, chemical, and physical properties compared to existing zeolite-based catalysts. More particularly, the present invention is directed to salt-templated microporous phosphate, arsenate, germanate and silicate analogues of zeolites.
In a composition of the present invention, the active sites and structures necessary for redox catalysis and enantiomeric selectivity are included as part of the framework to facilitate easy separation and efficient recycling during the heterogeneous catalytic process. Specifically, a microporous structure of the present invention includes a novel framework that contains redox centers, such as di- or trivalent transition metal cations distributed uniformly in the wall of the pores. The redox centers can be formed as M—X—O, wherein the acronym M—X—O represents the contents of the micropore (M=transition metals; X=P, As, Si, or Ge; O=oxygen). Such compositions of the present invention can be potentially important for various applications, such as in automotive exhaust treatment for pollution abatement.
In accordance with the present invention, salt-templates can be effectively utilized in conjunction with the framework to synthesize unique microporous structures having novel structural, chemical, and thermal properties. In contrast to current materials that are typically prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions, such as organically templated materials, open framework structures of the present invention can be formed at relatively high temperatures with appropriate "templating" salts.
For example, halide salts are routinely employed in the present invention as a flux for crystal growth of transition-metal-containing phosphates, arsenates, germanates and silicates that otherwise only form polycrystalline phases. At a relatively high temperature, i.e. above about 600� C., at which the salt becomes molten, covalent lattices containing channel and layer structures can form. The incorporated salt behaves like a template that directs the formation of the oxide framework. In one embodiment, for example, a spiral [CuPO4]∞ framework is built around [BaCl]+ cations in a non-centrosymmetric lattice of copper(II) phosphate.
In accordance with the present invention, as stated above, the framework of a microporous composition of the present invention is generally composed of alternating M and X atoms that are interlinked by commonly shared oxygen atoms. The transition metal cations (M) adopt a [4+2] distorted octahedral coordination with four oxide anions in an otherwise square planner geometry and two halide anions from the salt lattice occupying the apical positions.
Various types of compositions can be utilized to form microporous structures of the present invention. Typically, such microporous compositions are represented by the following general formulas:
(salt)a.An+ b[(Mp+Oz)c(Xq+O4)d]m− (I)
(salt)a.An+ b[(Mp+Oz)c(X2 q+O7)d]m− (II)
A=alkali and alkaline earth metals
M=transition metals
X=P, As, Ge or Si
z=o to 2
m=(2z−p)c+(8−q)d (for I)
m=(2z−p)c+(14−2q)d (for II)
For most applications, a, b, c and d are less than 20, particularly from 1 to 6
In various embodiments of the present invention, the microporous composition can be represented by the following formula:
In particular, alkali metals of the present microporous composition are preferably Li, Na, K, RB, and/or Cs. Alkaline-earth metals that may be used include Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and/or Ba. Moreover, transition metals of the present microporous composition are preferably Mn and/or Cu.
The template salt that may be used to produce microporous solids in accordance with the present invention can vary depending upon the application and the desired result. In general, any alkali or alkaline earth metal and halide salt may be used. Examples of halides that may be used to from the salt include chlorides, bromides, and iodides. Metals that may be combined with the halides include barium, cesium, rubidium, potassium, sodium, lithium, beryllium, magnesium, calcium and strontium.
The following are some preferred embodiments of microporous compositions of the present invention:
(hereinafter referred to as "MnPO" and illustrated in FIG. 1)
(hereinafter referred to as "CuPO" and illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 8)
(hereinafter referred to as "CuAsO")
It should also be noted that a microporous composition of the present invention is preferably doped with a suitable material. For example, the "CuPO" embodiment can be doped with Mn such that "M" in the above equation includes mixed Mn/Cu as shown in FIG. 3. In some instances, dopants can aid in "fine tuning" the catalytic properties of the composition so as to make a designer's catalyst for multifunctional catalysis.
As stated, microporous compositions of the present invention can prove beneficial in a variety of catalytic applications. For instance, a microporous composition of the present invention can be particularly useful in automotive exhaust treatment for pollution abatement, such as in deNOx catalysis. However, it should be understood that microporous compositions of the present invention can be utilized in various other applications as well.
The characteristics of the preferred compositions will now be further discussed. However, although the description of the preferred embodiments, and in particular the "CuPO" embodiment, is the primary focus of further discussion, it should be understood that such discussion is by way of example only, and is not in any manner intended to limit the present invention to the particular embodiments discussed.
Referring to
In general, the overall framework of microporous compositions of the present invention is structured such that the wall of the framework is negatively charged. For example, the overall framework of the "CuMnO" and "CuPO" embodiments of the present invention are made from alternating MO4 and P2O7 units that share vertex oxygen atoms, thus giving rise to a negatively charged wall of M3(P2O7)2 2−. As a result of the negatively charged framework wall, about 50% or more of the cation sites in the framework are decorated by Cu2+ cations in the embodiments illustrated in
In accordance with the present invention, the framework of the microporous compositions is also structured in a manner such that the framework forms pores or channels that enable the composition to be robust and facilitate a wide range of catalytic activities. Such pores or channels can typically vary in size. In some embodiments, the composition can contain more than one pore or channel having different sizes. For example, the "MnPO" composition can contain single-size, rectangular pores with a 5.3 �5.9 Šwindow. Likewise, the "CuPO" and "CuAsO" compositions can contain, for example, two differently sized pores of 5.3 Šand 12.7 Šin diameter.
Normally, the smaller channel of the "CuPO" embodiment of the present invention is fully occupied by a salt, while the larger channel is only partially occupied. For example, as shown in
In addition, the smaller and larger channels of the doped "CuPO" embodiment of the present invention can be centered by certain salts located therein. For example, as depicted in
In contrast to currently existing deNOx catalysts made of Cu2+ ion-exchanged zeolite materials, the newly discovered compositions also possess anchored cation sites. For example, the "CuPO" composition includes anchored Cu2+ cation sites. Such anchored sites can facilitate easy separation and efficient recycling during the heterogeneous catalytic process. In particular, a salt template of the present invention can be readily removed and subsequently reinserted at room temperature allowing for chemical modification and, in turn, maximization of deNOx catalytic activity.
In general, a microporous composition of the present invention also includes a salt-template lattice. In particular, as shown in
According to the present invention, the removal of the salt template from the framework can be facilitated by the structure of the lattice described above. In particular, the relatively long copper-to-halogen bond, in one embodiment, can aid in the salt removal process because of the weakness of the longer bond.
For example, in a preferred embodiment, as shown in
Based on the relatively long Cu—Cl bond distances (2.70-2.84 Å between two larger channels and 3.26 Å at the interface between larger and smaller channels), compared to those in CuCl2 (2.52 Å), the interaction between the salt template and the "CuPO" framework is weak. This remains true for the salt residing in the smaller channel, where the Cu—Cl bond adopts a long distance, i.e. 2.79 Å. Such long Cu—Cl bonds as mentioned above are attributed to the partially occupied Cl— anions.
Due to these relatively long bond distances, the salt template can be removed without disrupting the framework. In particular, the salt template can be conveniently removed at room temperature by water and/or ion-exchange. In some embodiments, the composition can be treated in a manner such that a small portion of the salt still remains within the composition after being washed. For instance, in order to remove a portion of the salt template, an aqueous salt solution can be used. By controlling the concentration of salt in the solution, the amount of the salt template that is removed from the microporous solid can also be controlled.
When a portion of the salt remains in the structure after washing, the catalytic reactions of gases flowing therein can often be enhanced. In particular, due to the remaining salt, the gases can have a longer residence time in the structure, thus allowing more reaction time.
In addition to ease in removal, a composition of the present invention can possess other qualities that prove beneficial in applications other than deNOx catalysis, such as in removing contaminants from strongly alkaline solution, immobilizing halide salt radioactive waste, etc. Specifically, a composition of the present invention, after having a salt template removed by water, can be re-intercalated with other salts, such as halides or nitrates, to replenish the catalytic properties of the composition. Particular salts well suited for this purpose are chlorides and nitrate salts of alkali or alkaline earth metals.
Referring to
As shown by curve (a) of
In addition to the above-described embodiments, the present invention is also directed to new systems where different combinations of salt, transition metal elements, as well as tetrahedral cations, including silicon, make up novel microporous solids. For instance, besides
The single crystals of new materials can be readily grown by conventional solid-state methods via halide-flux methods at temperatures approximately 150-200� C. above the melting point of the eutectic salt employed.
For purposes of illustration, FIGS. 7(A)-7(D) are SEM photographs of column-shaped crystals grown in the eutectic flux. FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B) are crystal morphologies of the structure illustrated in
Moreover, the structural analysis also reveals that both di- and trivalent transition metal cations can be incorporated. The valence state of the d-block cation can be manipulated by controlling the A/Cl ratio (A=electropositive cation) of the starting materials. These new materials can form sizable crystals allowing for detailed structural studies with all the transition-metal sites and the coordination atoms located.
In general, microporous compositions of the present invention, as described above, can be formed in a number of ways as would be apparent to one skilled in the art. For example, one embodiment of the "CuPO" composition doped with Mn can be formed as follows. A single crystal of (Cs2.76Cl2.87).K2.12Cu2.24Mn0.76(P2O7)2 can be grown by employing a CsCl flux. In a typical reaction, 1.0 mmol of KMnO4, 1.0 mmol of CuO, and 1.0 mmol of P2O5 are mixed and ground with CsCl flux (melting point=645� C.). The flux to charge ratio can be, for example, about 5:1.
In one embodiment, the materials above can be reacted in a carbon-coated fused silica ampoule. Preferably, the mixture is heated to about 650� C. over a 48-hour time period, and then held at that temperature for 24 hours. Thereafter, in one embodiment, the mixture can then be soaked for three days at a temperature of 800� C. and slowly cooled over a four-day period to 500� C.
In another embodiment, a stoichiometric powder of an un-doped "CuPO" composition can be prepared by mixing high purity KCl, CsCl, Cs2O, CuO, and P2O5 according to the method described above.
In general, microporous solids as described above, made in accordance with the present invention have a pore size less than 20 angstroms. In alternative embodiments of the present invention, however, it has also been discovered that microporous solids having larger pore sizes can also be fabricated. Specifically, according to the present invention, it has been discovered that systems using organic-based salts can produce large pore size structures. (
According to the present invention, embodiments of a composition of the present invention can also be properly fine-tuned via chemical modification methods. Such chemical modification methods can maximize the catalytic properties of a composition in a timely manner. Some parameters that can be varied include stoichiometry, concentration of dopant, and relative ratio of A/Cl. When the concentration of salt is examined, the composition of M—X—O will be fixed as well as the reaction conditions. When the mixed-transition-metal cations are studied, likewise, the salt concentration is fixed at the concentration that gives rise to the maximum materials performance.
In accordance with the present invention, it is believed that the microporous compositions can also be formed into thin films. While use of microporous compositions of the present invention in bulk form is of interest for a wide range of catalytic applications, the preparation of these materials in thin film form allows for the development of next-generation sensor and membrane reactor systems. The ability to form such thin films from compositions of the present invention can allow for the application of the compositions in time-release coatings for pharmaceutical uses.
In general, both powders and films can be prepared from sol-gel solutions. In one embodiment, powders can be prepared by vacuum drying of the solutions and heat treatment. In another embodiment, it is believed that films can be fabricated on non-reactive substrates such as magnesia and sapphire. Conventional furnace firing techniques can be used for conversion of the amorphous films into the desired zeolitic structure.
As stated above, microporous solids made in accordance with the present invention have many and diverse uses and applications. For example, as described above, the solids can be used as a redox catalyst in order to brake down nitrogen oxides. In this embodiment, which is particularly well suited as an automotive exhaust treatment, a gas containing nitrogen oxides can be fed through the microporous solids and reduced to molecular nitrogen and molecular oxygen. In particular, the nitrogen oxides will react with the transition metal, such as copper, contained within the microporous structure. In another embodiment, the microporous solids can be used for ion exchange in order to treat, for instance, waste water. For example, the microporous solids can be used remove heavy metals from water.
Another possible use of the microporous solids includes being used as a sorbent to absorb gas molecules or moisture. The solids can also be used as molecular sieves and possibly to separate large gas molecules from smaller gas molecules by filtering a gas stream flowing through the solids.
The following examples better demonstrate some of the benefits of the present invention.
The ability of a salt-template to be removed from a microporous composition of the present invention was demonstrated. In particular, a typical abstraction experiment was conducted, in which 100 mg of the "CuPO" embodiment of a microporous solid of the present invention was added to 15 ml of distilled water. The mixture was then stirred for approximately 10 hours at room temperature.
After stirring, the solid changed its color from light green to white in about 90 minutes, indicating the loss of the Cu—Cl bond due to chloride leaching. The resulting solid formed a very fine powder, and also showed a small concentration of cesium with a trace amount of potassium through EDAX (energy dispersive analysis by x-ray). The residual cesium and potassium suggests the following replacement reaction:
The residual cesium is believed to correspond to the amount of monovalent cations necessary to balance the negative charge of the Cu—P—O framework. As stated above, when a portion of the salt is left within the structure in this manner, after being treated with water, a longer residence time can result for gases that flow through the structure. Such longer residence time can enhance reaction efficiency in some instances.
The ability of a polycrystalline microporous solid of the present invention to be re-intercalated with a salt after washing was demonstrated. In particular, the templating salt of the "CuPO" embodiment was removed by the process of Example 1. Once removed, the solid was re-intercalated with a chloride salt. In particular, the solid was re-intercalated by immersing the solid in a 4 molar potassium chloride salt solution.
After re-intercalation, EDAX results showed that the residual cesium remaining from Example 1 was not present. The lack of such residual cesium suggests that the following reaction of combined ion-exchange and re-intercalation likely occurred:
These and other modifications and variations to the present invention may be practiced by those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that aspects of the various embodiments may be interchanged both in whole or in part. Furthermore, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the foregoing description is by way of example only, and is not intended to limit the invention.

It is very close to the main attractions but far enough from the noise. And the views are breathtaking.
Sergio met us outside the apartment and showed us the underground garage for parking. We took the lift to the 3rd floor and Sergio showed us the apartment. It was spacious and well equipped with everything our family of 6 needed. There was an amazing amount of towels, a washing machine and a dryer in a utility room. The terrace was lovely with great views to the coast and the mountains and over the rest of the complex. The bedrooms had plenty of storage space and the beds were quite comfortable.
The minus points were extremely slow WiFi and no sunbeds around the pool. We booked the apartment envisaging the family spending days around the pool. This was not possible as the residents had voted to remove the sunbeds and not replace them. This was a great disappointment as the pool was the reason we booked the apartment. Had we known that there were no facilities for staying round the pool we would not have booked it. However the apartment itself was great
Mike Caulfield
stayed as a group of 5 with 2 others coming round every day. nice peaceful area about 20 mins walk into fanabe/torviscas and another 15 to las Americas. taxi back was never any more than 5 euros and took 5 mins.
apartment has everything you could possibly need( washing machine, tumble drier,hair dryer,hoover,iron,etc).
view from balcony in morning of volcano is awesome and the MASSIVE roof terrace affords great views from las Americas to adeje and La Gomera in the distance.
massive pool which was only used by 2 of our gang the whole week(you literally have it to yourself as most people are at work in the day).
We had BBQ on roof most days with meat from local butchers down by Georges Bar which is nice for a cold beer and pizza.
Sergey was great to deal with and would definitely recommend staying here for families or 3 couples etc.
I hope to come back soon.
Beautiful place to stay, very clean & spacious lovely views. Very polite & helpful owner
I think that the ideal renters would be two couples or a family,both needing a car.we could not get any English tv and the DVD player was broken, Sergei quickly replaced it. The roof terrace is accessed by a spiral staircase,which makes it difficult to take food up there.There had been strong winds and most of the seats/tables were damaged and largely unusable. This is easily remedied and would make a huge difference..the balcony gets about an hours sunabout 10.00hrs.
This may sound negative but it is not,we had a good months holiday, and most people would probably hire a car and a lot of issues would disappear.
Definitely the experience would be improved by an information pack regarding local amenities .we could recommend to anyone GEORGES Restaurant a few minutes walk away. In this area all of the menu del Dias are the same price.other dishes are the same price,so you know what you will spend.
Had a fantastic time staying here. Plenty of space for a large family. My boys loved the pool and my daughter and I definitely loved sunbathing on the terrace. Had everything we needed. Sergey was really helpful and answered any questions we had straight away. Would definitely recommend to anyone....you won't be disappointed 😀
We have just had a ten night stay in this lovely apartment and had a great time. The apartment has the 3 good sized bedrooms and I cannot get over the amazing value for money this represents. The apartment has everything that you could possibly need and every requirement has been considered. The private roof top terrace is a perfect sun trap in a peaceful setting. You virtually have the whole swimming pool to yourself and I challenge you not to come away totally relaxed.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone who does not want to stay in the hustle and bustle of a resort but it is close enough if you want to get amongst it. It is a 15 minute stroll down to the front or a 3.50 euro taxi fare. If you want to stay in, have a barbecue on the roof top terrace with the sun setting in full view.
Don't hesitate...get it booked!!

The spouse of ESPN telecaster Chris Berman was one of two people killed in a car accident on Tuesday in Connecticut.
The Lexus driven by Kathy Berman, 67, struck a Ford Escape driven by an 87-year-old man in Woodbury at around 2:16 p.m., as indicated by the Connecticut State Police outline of the mishap gotten by USA TODAY. After the impact, Berman's Auto proceeded down a dike before it upset into a little waterway.
The Escape hit a utility post after the underlying crash and the driver, Edward Bertulis, passed on as an aftereffect of his wounds.
"This is a devastating tragedy and difficult to comprehend," ESPN president John Skipper said in a statement. "Chris is beloved by all his ESPN colleagues and for a good reason: He has a huge heart and has given so much to so many over the years. We know how much his family means to him and all we can do at the moment like this is give him the love and support he will surely need at this hour. Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris, Meredith, Doug and the entire family."

Hotspot for boat shopping
I am looking for a (pre-owned)Towboat shopping hot spot east of the Mississippi to go shopping this spring. I can drive as far south as Eastern Tennessee, Northern Virginia, in 1 day. Basically I want to be able to look at several boats (at dealers) in a small region. I might have 3-4 days max to shop. I guess I would tow it home. Since It would involve gas, and lodgings that has to be factored into any difference to see if it is worth it.
Where I live (Ontario-Canada) the pickings are slim, and overpriced (I think)
Thanks Blueliner
I would just get on www.onlyinboards.com, craigslist and on WW classifieds and pick out a few and make calls on them and really narrow it down to a few boats and make the drive to see them.
It depends on what brand of boat you're looking for. Some boats have more of a concentration in certain parts of the country usually as a result of a strong dealer presence. For instance, Nautiques are concentrated in the Dallas area because of Buxton Marine.
Onlyinboards is a great starting point. You can also use searchtempest to search craigslist, oodle and ebay. Google it if you don't know what it is. You can set it to search certain areas and save the searches. Searchtempest allows you to search multiple cities at once.
It's going to be hard to find 2-3 dealers that will have multiple used boats on hand to look at that fit your criteria.
PLUS, you stand to get a better deal buying from a private party.
I'm selling my lightly used 2012 A22 Vandall. It's near Chicago, IL. Send me a PM and I can get you the details.
I live in Erie PA (not to far from you really) and have purchased 2 boats from florida. one for me and one for my brother-in-law. both times it was well worth the trip. we were not going to try several different boats though. we had found them on craigslist and rolled the dice on making the 16 hour trip one way to get them.
you are correct that boat prices in this area are inflated.
I am curious how much were you able to talk down the owners from their asking price. For me to go that far there would have to be $7 or $8k cheaper than here. Right now there seems to be about a $3 or $4k difference.
The prices are even more inflated once you cross the border into Canada. I live near Winnipeg and my purchases with road-trips have included Atlanta, Albuquerque, State College PA, Dallas, Indianapolis and Minneapolis. As the OP suggested, you have to factor in the road-trip and potentially, a shipping service (my truck from Houston) plus your time. Again, eBay, Only Inboards and other sites can get you a number of leads, but only you can pull the trigger for the purchase. Sometimes you can find a real good deal on a dealer year-end close-out or a distress sale (divorce, etc). Coming up over the next few months there will be some smoking deals if you are patient and able to jump on them when they appear. The southern states and sometimes out west have typically had better prices. Good luck.
sent you a long pm
I bought my 05' 23' enzo three years ago with around 75 hours on it he was asking $27000. My brother -in-law paid around $27000 for his 05' 23' moomba with around 200 hours on it and that was 4 yrs ago. Both in Florida and in travel and they were both a steel.
I spent about 7 months searching for mine.
What are you looking for? There are some boats out here in BC that are a pretty good price.
I got a loaded 2012 a22 in kentucky up for sale!
I'm in NC and I've bought two boats from Knoxville TN
TN is by far one of the best places to buy a boat. Tons of water and tons of boats.
I'm in Michigan. My a22 is for sale. http://onlyinboards.com/Details.aspx?ID=40225
This spring as in 2014? Indianapolis Boat Sport and Travel Show is one of the largest shows in the country. http://indianapolisboatsportandtravelshow.com/
for those that traveled to shop and decided to buy is it safe to say you were able to demo the boat? Did you drive your own truck or did you fly (if necessary) and rent a truck to haul home?
If I was buying a boat, heres what I would do:
1) ask for a TON of pictures. 30+ of ALL areas of the boat
2) Ask for a contact at whatever marina / dealer services the boat. talk to them. Ask about how it was serviced, winterized, thoughts on the seller, etc
3) see if they can send you a compression test

How Become A Great Web Marketer?
Every time I suggest this idea to B2B content marketers they roll their eyes and think my suggestion stupid. Everyone can learn new ideas, ideas that inform all digital marketing, from creating an online store.
Each day someone asks how they can learn Internet marketing? Hard to sit in a classroom and learn this stuff. Better to DO IT and no better thing to do than use a tool such as Amazon's Associates to create an online store.
Think of how much stronger your personal brand would be if a potential hiring manager could see what you are reading, ask you questions about those books and get to know you long before an offer is made.
We live in a DIY time when 60% or more of the decision about YOU and your company's products, services and brands will be made BEFORE any active engagement (before picking up the phone or asking you to interview).
Given how much scrutiny your brand is under BEFORE you ever meet a prospect be it for a job or to make a B2B sale wouldn't it be a good idea to do something simple, engaging and fun to show how much you know about digital marketing. Let's see say I have two resumes on a pile and qualifications are equal, but one has a link to a blog & a "bookstore".
Which resume gets more engagement? Let's say your B2B Software As A Service Company is up for a big project. I go to your site and see the books that made you. I, as the hiring manager, have read several of them. We have a connection now and who am I more likely to hire?
HUGE benefits for half a day's work and work that teaches you more about how the web really works than every class you are likely to take (unless I'm teaching it of course lol). DO don't STUDY and you will understand one of the most important concepts about web marketing.

Don't mess with the Kardashian klan!
Kendall Jenner and friend Hailey Baldwin, daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, reportedly stormed out of a New York City restaurant this past weekend after the waitress refused to serve 18-year-old Kendall alcohol.
According to the report, server Blaine Morris says the pair left without paying their $60 lunch bill or leaving a tip.

Blaine chased the celeb kids down only to have a disgruntled Kendall throw money in her face, the report said.
"Kendall and Hailey started laughing," a witness to the incident said in the report. "Kendall took a couple of $20 bills out of her wallet, threw them at the server and walked away."
Blaine later confirmed the confrontation with this Tweet:
A rep for Hailey was quoted in the Page Six report as saying, "They thought everything was paid for. Kendall was polite and asked 'Does this cover it?' They didn't run."

Reps for Kendall did not comment. We're sure momager Kris Jenner is keeping this allegation totally hush-hush.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cass County has been a huge part of my life for the past 7 years. I started volunteering as a Big Sister in 2004 while I was still in college.

I also have 2 little sisters in the community based program and a boy I meet with through the Local Hero Program.

How Dermal Fillers Can Give You Spotless and Ageless Skin?
Whether it's a stubborn scar or pigmentation, there are some defects in everyone's skin which they want to remove forever. Well, in that case, dermal fillers can work as a solution. Apart from treating aging related issues wonderfully, the treatment has proved to be effective for handling acne, pigmentation etc. Many people also have deep red lines on their faces and legs which are actually the thread veins. Though they are not harmful, yet by removing it, one can enhance his or her appearance greatly. Many clinics that offer the dermal filler treatment also treat the thread veins. So, if you want to get rid of both of these issues, then you have to search a lot.
Dermal fillers can fix numerous skin related issues like the scars, wrinkles, can even out hollow area under the eyes, erase the laugh lines and can make thin lips plump. The dermatologists perform this aesthetic treatment on their clients through the following steps:
Step 1: Face of the patient is cleaned by the dermatologist using an antibacterial agent. After that, they numb the area to be treated generally, by applying anaesthetic injection or cold compress.
Step 2: The dermal fillers are injected into the skin and the dermatologist massage the area thoroughly to derive maximum benefit. Depending upon the areas to be treated, the duration of each session varies from 15 minutes to one hour.
Step 3: After the successful completion of the treatment, cold compress or ice pack is applied to minimize swelling. If the patient observes any kind of tenderness in the treated area two to three days after the treatment, then he doesn't have to be worried about it as it will automatically dissipate after a few days.
If you choose any reputed clinic that has gained mastery in removing the thread veins, then you can ask them whether they provide dermal filler too. One great thing about the dermal filler aesthetic treatment is that it requires no recovery time and the patient can carry on with his or her daily schedule without bringing any change in it.
However, the treatment can be performed in any of the three ways namely Juvederm, Restylane, and Sculptra and the time of visible results varies from one method to another. As for instance, if you undergo Juvederm method, then you can expect to observe results within 6-18 months of the treatment. Similarly, Restylane method brings out results within 6-12 months. Depending upon the condition that requires to be treated, your dermatologist will decide which method will be the best for you.
Are you looking for dermal fillers treatment? Then dial our number as we also treat thread veins at a reasonable rate.

After qualifying for the state championship Nov. 19 in Stevensville, the Eddy Currents 2.0 FIRST LEGO League robotics team knew it had to up its game.
The team worked very hard for three weeks preparing for the championship, improving every aspect of its presentations and robot performance. This included reprogramming every robot mission to make it more consistent.
They felt confident going into the state championship but knew they would be competing against 49 of the best teams in the state.
The Eddy Currents traveled to Flint Dec. 9 for the championship and rose to the occasion. Their first robot performance match landed them a score of 227, which would remain the second-highest score throughout the day.
For this, they were awarded the "Robot Performance Award" trophy. The boys also presented in front of three different judging panels, performing very well across the board. All considered, the day ended with being awarded the "Champion's Award" trophy for finishing third overall. The coaches and parents couldn't be prouder of the boys' hard work, determination, dedication and accomplishments this season.
The Eddy Currents are coached/mentored by Andrew Dohm, Professor of Math and Science and STEM Advisor at Southwestern Michigan College as well as Nichole Dohm and Deb Kraska, both teachers at Edwardsburg Public Schools.
Eddies Key Lock Storage and the SMC STEM Club sponsored the team.

I came to this resort with my Husband and my one year old daughter and it was a very relaxing 4 night stay. They were VERY accommodating to my one year old and me. I asked for a high chair for the room and they were very happy to provide one.
STAFF: Very friendly, best service anyone could ask for (and I am very picky). The beach staff had our stop ready every morning. One thing to watch out for is that you do have to pay for an umbrella on the beach.
RESTAURANTS: Delicious food and very kid friendly. If you get bored of staying in the hotel there are 4 restaurants across the street at the Bal Harbour Mall.
ROOMS: All ocean view, very clean and comfortable.
SPA: BEAUTIFUL and SO relaxing. TIP: If you know its going to rain one of the days you are at the hotel, book well ahead of time as they fill up on rainy days.
In all this hotel is great if you have kids because they are so very accommodating to children, but if you want to stay away from the kids there is an Adult only pool which is VERY quite.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

The core maintenance services covered are the provision and/or application of software updates and upgrades. This agreement includes all those provisions that you might expect to find in any maintenance agreement for software, but not a great deal else. The details of the services themselves are set out in a service level agreement, which is attached as a schedule.

Testament is currently on tour in North America opening for Slayer, alongside special guests Carcass. Those in attendance at tonight and tomorrow night's shows in Chicago, IL, as well as Monday's show in Nashville, TN, will notice a slight change in Testament's lineup. Guitarist Alex Skolnick has been temporarily replaced by former Megadeth, King Diamond and Eidolon guitarist Glen Drover.
Glen comments: "Sold out show in Chicago tonight! Slayer and Testament. I'm filling in for Alex for a few shows in Testament. First time playing onstage in years. It's going to be awesome!"
Drover previously played with Testament in 2008, when Skolnick was on tour with Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and again in 2010.
Alex says: "Heads up: No Chicago / Nashville 4 me next wk. Sorry 2 miss; was already booked. There'll be a good sub & I'll play Richmond VA & all the rest."
The reason behind Skolnick's absence is his participation in the Axes & Anchors Cruise; he will rejoin Testament on stage Wednesday, February 24th in Richmond, VA.

Suiyam, susiyam, sugiyam, suliyam, seeya are all different names for these crispy, sweet balls. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can make these for any festivals or even as a tea time snack. We make these with boli filling (chana dal and jaggery) or this coconut jaggery filling. This is more tastier than the bengal gram filling. It is very easy to make and also tastes delicious. Today we will learn how to make sweet sugiyam following this easy recipe with step wise pictures.
Suiyam Recipe-Sweet Susiyam-Sugiyam
Prep Time : 40 mins(excluding soaking time)
Cook Time : 20 mins
Yields: 15
Recipe Category: Festival Recipes
Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Author:Padhu Sankar
Ingredients needed
Urad dal - 1/2 cup
Raw rice - 1/4 cup
Coconut - 1 cup grated
Jaggery - 3/4 cup
Cardamom - 4 pods powdered
Ghee/clarified butter - 1 tsp
Salt - 1/8 tsp
Oil for deep frying
Yields: 15
Recipe Category: Festival Recipes
Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Author:Padhu Sankar
Ingredients needed
Urad dal - 1/2 cup
Raw rice - 1/4 cup
Coconut - 1 cup grated
Jaggery - 3/4 cup
Cardamom - 4 pods powdered
Ghee/clarified butter - 1 tsp
Salt - 1/8 tsp
Oil for deep frying
Batter for suiyam
Soak rice and dal for 3 hours. Grind it to a smooth paste with very less water. Add salt and mix well. The consistency of the batter should be thick and flowing, so that it will coat the coconut-jaggery balls well.
Making of Coconut jaggery filling
Now we will make the coconut jaggery filling. You can prepare this the previous day and refrigerate it.
In a kadai or any heavy bottomed vessel, add grated jaggery and 2 tbsp of water.
Heat and stir, for the jaggery to dissolve. Then filter it to remove any impurities.
Now boil the filtered jaggery water until it thickens. (if you add a tsp of jaggery syrup in a cup of water, the syrup should not dissolve in water). At this stage, add a tsp of ghee and grated coconut.
Cook on medium heat stirring continuously until the coconut mixture thickens.
Add cardamom powder and mix well. As the mixture cools, it will thicken further. You should be able to make balls out of the mixture after it cools. If you cannot make balls, you have to cook for few more minutes.
Once the coconut jaggery mixture cools, divide it equally and form balls from it.
Now the batter and the coconut jaggery balls are ready.
Heat oil in a kadai, when the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium. (to check if the oil is hot, drop a little batter into the oil, if it raises to the surface immediately, the oil is ready for frying).
Coat the coconut jaggery ball with the batter and gently drop it into the oil. You can drop 3-4 balls depending on the quantity of oil.
The balls have a tendency to get stuck at the bottom of the pan. Do not panic. Once it gets cooked slightly, flip it over to the other side gently.
Fry until light golden brown and place it on a colander or paper towel to absorb excess oil if any.
Repeat the process for the rest of the balls. Sweet suiyam is ready. Enjoy it warm.

text: Hi everyone! I'd like to receive some opinion on my game, SkyBoards puzzle. Don't worry, this is the lite version and it's free! Let me introduce the game. I'm too lazy, so I will copy the description from the site: "SkyBoards Puzzle is a simple, but innovative puzzle game where players must bring its character from the starting point to the finishing line, by rotating the tiles (namely, pieces of streets) in the field to create a coherent path. The avatar will move individually following the setted path and if he will run into an obstacle then the player will lose. Often, to open the exit will be necessary to pick up some keys! Also, many tiles have some special attribute you will find with the game progress... Enjoy this anime-style game! I'd like to receive as many opinion as possible! Is it easy to understand, are controls efficent? Is it funny? Does it needs some changes or improvment? In short, what do you think about it?? Thanks for your time!! I will try to edit it, according to review!

Keeping complete, organized records is important for a variety of reasons. Some regulations require calculation of emissions based on material consumption. Other regulations require keeping documentation such as hazardous waste manifests and other documents for certain time periods. These documents must be organized and readily acceptable in case they are needed.
Records on usage of materials containing VOC's, HAP's and SARA Title 313 reportable chemicals (see for a list of HAP's & SARA 313 chemicals and SARA 313 PBT chemicals) must be maintained based on a calendar year usage. These records are required to be kept and reviewed regardless of whether the facility exceeded the reporting threshold. The purpose that requirement is to assure annual review of the usage versus the reporting threshold since chemical usage can vary from year to year.
Hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), require waste generators to maintain records (manifests) of all regulated waste shipments for a minimum of three years. State regulations may require longer retention periods.
Copies of all analytical testing for waste streams and other materials should be retained in the environmental records.
Copies of all operating permits, application forms, and associated reports should be retained for at least five years after the permit has been renewed.
Record keeping is an important component of environmental compliance. It is strongly urged that printers keep every record of any purchase, every receipt, or bill of lading. Businesses are required to use a manifest every time any waste, both hazardous and non-hazardous, is disposed. Companies must keep these manifests for at least three years (longer depending on the local/state requirements). A good, well organized record keeping system can help demonstrate compliance and determine the various sources of waste, generation rates, and provide answers for implementing a pollution prevention program.
For access to vendors who may supply alternative materials and equipment, see the PNEAC Vendor Directory.
Hazardous waste regulations, otherwise known as RCRA, requires waste generators to maintain records of all regulated waste shipments for a minimum of three years. State regulations may be longer. Records that must be kept include the original generator copy and the disposal facility to generator return copy of all hazardous waste manifests, as well as any Land Ban restriction forms completed for waste shipments.
Receipts or manifests for shipments of hazardous materials, empty drums and containers, etc. must be maintained for at least three years according to U.S. DOT requirements.
Copies of all analytical testing, such as waste characterizations, for waste streams and other materials should be retained in the environmental records.
OSHA requires that employers keep annual records of medical treatment, accidents and illnesses. Employers must use the OSHA 300A and 301 Form to document these incidents. These forms must be posted for the entire month of February each year regardless of whether there were any recordable incidents or not.
OSHA regulations require that copies of Material Safety Data Sheets for all chemicals used in the company must be kept and made available to employees. Outdated Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) must be maintained for 30 years or as long as the company is in business (whichever is longer). This includes materials that are no longer used in the company as well as MSDSs for products that are still used, but the product formulation has changed so the previous MSDS is outdated.
Records of all safety training must be maintained. Records should include, but not limited to, job specific training, general awareness training, fire safety training, etc.
