Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Co-ops helped build communities
It wasn't so long ago that belonging to a co-operative was so much a part of daily life in rural Manitoba, no one thought much about what it meant.
Rural kids learned their co-op "number" at about the same age they learned their home phone number. And when they moved to the big cities to attend university, more than a few were confronted with puzzled looks from urban grocery store clerks when they forgot where they were and it rolled off their tongues as they reached the till.
Co-ops were -- and in many communities still are -- simply where people bought their groceries, hardware, fuel and farm supplies. You can even buy co-op insurance. It's still where many put their money. In fact, one-third of all Canadians belong to a credit union, giving Canada the world's highest per-capita percentage of credit union membership.
Co-ops were the masters of the customer loyalty cards long before Air Miles and all those other points cards starting polluting our wallets. That co-op membership number entitles the holder to special privileges and patronage dividends, some of which were repaid annually and some of which were retained by the co-op for operating revenue until the member resigned or retired.
But people were loyal to their co-ops for reasons that reached far deeper into the Prairie psyche than an annual patronage refund.
Just last week, a group of hardy historians braved a wet, snowy October morning to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Selkirk Settlers' arrival in 1812 with a symbolic planting of wheat. Those settlers, along with the waves of new immigrants that followed them in the latter part of the 19th century, quickly learned co-operation was necessary for survival in this harsh yet fragile environment.
Truth be told, the people who came here to start a new life were either tricked by glowing advertisements, which in today's terms would be considered downright fraudulent, or forced by threat of starvation into coming. They had no idea they were coming to homestead amidst undrained swamps, raging wildfires and few trees with which to build the homes required to fulfil their Homestead Act obligations.
But when they got to their "free" land, it was either survive -- or not. If they were going to get the work done, get their children schooled and have a place of worship, it would have to be a collective community effort. If they were going to get a fair shake from the railroads and the private grain traders, they would have to unite for the fight.
It was only natural for folks back then to expand that culture into capitalistic ventures, such as the Prairie grain co-ops, which at their peak in the 1980s handled nearly two-thirds of the grain produced in the West. In addition to giving them market power, the financial interest and fiduciary duties of owning your own grain company made farmers in this part of the world an exceptionally well-informed bunch.
The pools epitomized both the power of grassroots capitalism and the pitfalls. Whether it was through changing times, bad luck or misguided management, ultimately these businesses reached a point at which they could no longer meet member expectations. Confronted with an aging demographic, which meant returning a wave of capital to retiring farmers, these co-ops panicked, borrowed too much money, cannibalized each other and were then absorbed into the private trade.
Those failures aside, co-ops are still an important part of business life in Canada. This country has more than 9,000 co-operatives and credit unions serving 18 million members -- more than half the population.
This model for community development is also playing an increasingly important role in international development, so much so that the United Nations has declared 2012 the International Year of Co-operatives and the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization is focusing this year's Oct. 16 World Food Day theme on co-operatives as key to feeding the world.
With many of the world's undernourished also engaged in small-holder agriculture, co-ops are a tool that can convert a spike in food prices, such as we're seeing this year, from a hunger threat into an opportunity. Strong producer organizations and co-operatives are better able than individuals to get products to market, obtain credit and access the inputs members need to farm. It is also often their first experience with participatory democracy.
Whether it's in a highly developed country like Canada or in an emerging economy somewhere else, belonging to a co-op is about much more than the money. It's the spirit.

Krause, Neal, and E. Bastida. 2009. "Exploring the interface between religion and contact with the dead among older Mexican Americans." Review of Religious Research, 51(1): 5-20.
The purpose of the current study is to examine the relationship between religion and post death contact among older Mexican Americans. Four major themes emerged from 52 in-depth interviews that were conducted with older Mexican Americans residing in Texas. First, many older study participants told us they had contact with the dead, but others indicated this was not possible. Second, the form in which contact with the dead was made varied greatly. Some older Mexican Americans reported they had visual contact with the dead while others said they only made contact with the dead through dreams. Third, although some older Mexican American study participants believed that it was in the best interests of the dead to contact the living, others felt the dead should instead be in Heaven with God. Fourth, the participants in our study reported that having contact with the dead provides a number of important social and psychological benefits. In the process of discussing these themes, an emphasis is placed on how beliefs and experiences with the dead interface with religion. In addition, we also explore how post death contact may be associated with health and well-being in late life.

Shelby Cottage Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, Sleeps 8
Experience Lake Michigan from your own private beach frontage. The cottage features breath taking views from the deck. The dunes are spectacular. Only 45 stairs lead to your path to the beach; however, there is an easement which allows you to drive to the base of the stairs allowing a no step walk to the beach or easy access for your kayak or beach toys. Sit by the beach side fire pit, enjoy miles of sugar sand Beach in either direction. The cottage was recently purchased and remodeled in 2013. Updates include new flooring, painting throughout, new beds, new furniture and air conditioning. The cottage features a queen bed in the master bedroom, a full bed in the downstairs bedroom and 4 twin beds in the bunkroom. The cottage sleeps eight. There are two full baths. For rainy days the cottage offers flat screen TV's, WIFI Internet, Cable TV and a Nintendo Game Cube Systems. Free local and long distance calling is included, since your Cell phone may not receive calls. The property had been a five star rental under prior ownership, we hope to provide an even better experience.
- Suitability:
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- children welcome
- limited accessibility
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
Why Kelley & Ralph Reisinger chose Shelby
We love the beachfront and the easy access to Lake Michigan. This is also a rare property where you actually own the beach front, it is not access or association owned like most other properties. In addition the cottage is only 75 miles from our home which allows us to be hands on for our guests.
What makes this cottage unique
Fantastic view of the beach and lakefront from the Master Bedroom. Access the upper wrap around deck from the Master Bedroom. With a dune to the North and foliage blocking the view of nearby cottages, you will experience a peacefull vacation unlike other lake front rentals which share public access, or are part of large associations. If you want to stay in touch with the office, broadband internet and a workspace with a view allows you to work and play.

Is waterboarding, known during the Spanish Inquisition as tortura del agua, really torture or not?
Tom Murphy endured 28 years as Georgia House speaker because he kept his word and never caused his fellow House members to feel shamed.
To the casual observer, Congress must seem unusually pushy these days. Its Democratic majority is tussling with the White House over the budget. Senators are investigating the CIA's destruction of interrogation tapes. The House Oversight Committee has accused the White House of systematically impeding scientific inquiry into global warming.
I never have to check the calendar to see if the Christmas season is approaching. As soon as the "season to be jolly" approaches all those jolly-challenged people begin their sniping. I think Jack Frost is nipping at more than their noses and some people are nipping at more than hot chocolate.
The day after Hugo Chavez's power grab was defeated at the polls, the Man Who Won't Shut Up called the state-owned television network and blamed voters for not being "mature."
There is a great tradition of war tax resistance in the United States. When our political leaders have not listened to the will of the people, individuals have engaged in civil disobedience. By refusing to cooperate, we take away the legitimacy from a reckless state.
Gov. Sonny Perdue announced last week he would be outsourcing state technology jobs in an attempt to save money. The plan is to turn over several technology-related functions to private companies and eliminate about 1,100 jobs.
David Himmelstein and his wife Steffie Woolhandler are associate professors at Harvard Medical School. Together they are a one-couple team, promoting Canadian national health insurance in the United States. They provide the intellectual leadership for the Physicians for a National Health Program. They are about the only academics around whose scholarship routinely gives aid and comfort to the advocates of socialized medicine, unless you count the Commonwealth Fund. They are pleasant (at least to me), they are dedicated and they are wrong.
On the whole, Americans want their politicians to hew to the political center and govern with a healthy dose of pragmatism. Yet we live in the most bitterly partisan era in memory, when the dominant voices in both parties are more ideological and less willing to compromise, and the politics they practice too often is a mean-spirited, take-no-prisoners enterprise.
Pundits and pollsters are trying to figure out just how big a plus Oprah Winfrey is to the Barack Obama presidential campaign. They know it's big, they just don't know how big.
To paraphrase Ricky Ricardo, Republicans got a lot of 'splanin' to do.
At a CNN-sponsored Youtube debate recently, Republican candidates gamely responded to questions from supporters of Bill Richardson, Log Cabin Republicans and the ubiquitous audience plant from the Clinton camp.
Everywhere I go people ask me how I have so much confidence the Army is not breaking, and it is because our magnificent Soldiers are not only taking the fight to the enemy every day, but they are reenlisting in large numbers.
"No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!"
The nation's economy looks bumpy for 2008, and Georgia may not be able to avoid the rough ride. A national housing crisis and soaring energy prices combine with a regional drought to signal dread ahead.
Editor, "Greater Good" is a point or ideology that has been defined, perceived and twisted. So what does this mean? I wonder if it's even fair to apply this concept because, at the end of the day, the definition is construed. Man is still making that determination.
In 1976 in the rainforest, a virus was transmitted to people from wild animals, and it spread through the population via human-to-human contact.
Editor, I just spoke with Liberty County Chief Registrar/Elections Supervisor Ella Golden. She reported Sunday voting results as:
I called Junior E. Lee and asked when he would have some post-election analysis to share with you. Junior, as you know, is general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, in Greater Garfield, Georgia, home of Round-or-Square Polls, whose motto is "You supply the dough and we will cook the results."
This month, more than 500 local volunteers have made a positive difference for our local waterways by participating in the Statewide Rivers Alive waterway cleanups in Georgia. Over 50 locations in Liberty County have been cleaned up so far by these amazing helpers, who ranged in ages from 2 (yes, they had a little help from their parents) to 80. Several more groups have cleanups scheduled in the next three weeks. Rivers Alive is a statewide effort to preserve and protect our waterways in Georgia. Rivers Alive events also are part of the international efforts of The Ocean Conservancy.
That apple tree. Oh my goodness. Something told me it wouldn't turn out well.
I dislike talking on the phone. For a number of reasons, I've never really been fond of telephone calls or conversations.
Editor, I just read Liberty County Administrator Joey Brown's column. Maybe, if government wasn't so secretive, Liberty County citizens would be able to get all of the proper information that Mr. Brown has at his fingertips. I know firsthand how difficult it is to get the government to make records public.
Liberty County voters once again will have the option Tuesday to vote to extend the current Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax for an additional six years. SPLOST has been around awhile and enables local governments to finance specific capital projects, such as courthouses, roads, bridges, libraries and highways. SPLOST is a 1 percent sales tax that is paid on purchases made in Liberty County.

Gill – $2.05 mill.- I dont dislike him, but he could be replaced for cheap with a Wozniewski, Harrison, or Kronwall.
O'neill – $1.5 mill.- not a bad player when he's not invisible, but could be replaced cheap.
Antropov – $1 mill. – I've defended this guy for a long time, but I also agree after yet another injury that maybe its time to go.
Belak $675,000 – he's useless
Aubin $525,000 – As far as i'm concerned he's played himself out of the job this year.
Trade these 5 for draft picks, prospects, or pucks. Get whatever you can for them but really they're salary dumps. After Peca's injury a decision will have to be made on him in the offseason. Lets assume he's okay. With the expected cap increase to $45 mill., Toronto will have $11.5 mill. to spend in the offseason.
With the defense set for the next 4-5 years, that leaves some money to bid on a couple decent forwards in the offseason. I'd like to see some Toronto type forwards like Doan or that kind of player. Toronto needs to bring a little more toughness to the table.
Also resign any players from our current roster that I did not mention (Tucker, Sundin).]]>

Having previously sold cars myself, I am quite aware of how ca sales work. I must say that I was impressed with my experience at Magic Toyota. I had done my due diligence prior to contacting them by email. My email exchanges were courteous, professional, and truthful. When I arrived, I was introduced to my salesperson, Tommy, who treated me professionally and courteously. After a brief negotiation, we reached a deal which I felt was quite fair. I had to wait a week for my specific vehicle to arrive and Tommy contacted me several times to keep me updated. Once my truck arrived, Tommy came in on his day off to make the delivery. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience.

How about Wild Defiance ?
Duh, I'm dumb for overlooking that.
Haha, I was thinking how great it would be in here. It AND Livewire Lash combined are insane.
too insane
Not really necessary. There's only 1 in the deck so making a slot specifically for that card throws it off.
This deck seems pretty solid, but I would take Wurmcoil Engine (which happens to be one of my favorite cards) and a Core Prowler out and replace them with 2 Putrefax . This gives the deck more focus on infect, and the turn after you play, swing, and sac Putrefax (on the off chance that there is a turn after that), you could use Havengul Lich 's ability on Putrefax to swing for 10 infect with trample which is pretty difficult to deal with.

Excellent location!Posted Aug 21, 2014
Pros: Location very convenient for major sights, felt right in the middle of the city and adjacent to the Marais which was great.
Cons: Noise from Saint Paul escalator was loud in 1st floor suite. If air conditioning was working wouldn't have needed open window, so not a problem
Location: Brilliant location - close to Louvre, Tuilerie Gardens, Marais, the river & Notre Dame. Lots of good restaurants & shopping nearby.
Spent nine nights here. Great spot from which to explore the city & further afield. Metro extremely convenient and easy to return to hotel to deposit shopping or for a quick break. Marais area very lively and that bit different - lots of character. Not for those who like lots of home comforts, but if you spend most of your daytime sightseeing then this is a convenient and acceptable base.

Nice hotel very close to metro station.Posted Jun 27, 2014
Nice hotel very close to metro station. The only drawback is hotel Entrance and no elevator. Rooms size and bed is very good. Stair case is narrow and spiral so bit difficult for kids.

Bad hotelPosted Jun 24, 2014
Pros: Hotel is very closed to the underground.
The room was really small and different from the pictures. The hotel staff spoke only French and a little English. They think that everyone speaks French like them. The staff is not good at problem solving. We don't recommend this place.

Quirky Paris hotelPosted May 15, 2014 on Hotels.com
Great location with nearby cafes, restaurants, bars and the metro station. Room and bathroom small but comfortable. No lift so small luggage essential with many (and tight) stairs to contend with. Extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful personnel fluent in English and very patient with our attempts at speaking French :)

Excellant LocationPosted Mar 6, 2014
Excellant location along with friendly helpful staff; the room was cosy and comfortable with a delightful patisserie just next door. The stairs if you are able bodied will add a huge amount of fun to your stay but are not for you if you have mobility problems. If you're a light sleeper bring ear plugs as you're over bustling cafe's and a busy street but of course thats why you've chosen this location.

perfect for dépannagePosted Jan 26, 2014
Pros: proximity of metro
Location: good
ok - but 4 floors to walk the stairs - not easy when it is not large.

Lovely room awful hotelPosted Dec 4, 2013 on Hotels.com
We stayed here a couple of years ago in a very small room. We decided to upgrade to a suite. The room was lovely. It was large, well decorated and felt very French. Unfortunately it was on the first floor at the front so you can hear every voice in the cafe downstairs. They are doing the inside up and decided to start early every morning - lovely wake up call! I only wish I knew more French so I could have made my disappointment known. Finally you can't be disappointed by the distance to the metro, that is when the escalator closes down for the night!

sixth floor 105 steps no liftPosted Oct 8, 2013 on Hotels.com
it was expensive for what was on offer tv had choice of one channel if I could get a room on a lower floor and a price reduction I would stay there again
Recommendedby Martinfrom London
Tired common areas and vertiginously steep stairsPosted Oct 8, 2013 on Hotels.com
I'd been warned by previous reviews that the stairs were steep and narrow. This didn't really bother me, as I was travelling with a small rucksack only. However if you're travelling with a wheely suitcase or anything bigger, forget this hotel. In addition to steepness and narrowness, the stairs were in terrible condition - uneven, old stained carpet and badly decorated walls. The room itself was OK - décor attractive but shower room and WC very cramped (again, as expected). The noise from the metro station carried all the way up to the 5th floor, so not that quiet

Australia recently had an election where they asked for a dramatic departure from previous fiscal policies.
The reasons were simple, in hindsight. Everyone wanted more money from an increasingly larger government but incomes were declining. Inflation is still happening, government employees still get raises, but average Australian income declines showed what government claims about economic health did not.
Increases and declines in economies have always happened but new work in the Economic Analysis and Policy journal finds that people are not better off than they were 20 years ago.

Many large organizations are now on their second or third wave of diversity and inclusion programs. A good number of them are still struggling to identify obvious improvements in the metrics they hoped to see changes in. Yet, ironically, increasing numbers of people are beginning to express "diversity fatigue".

It's pretty common in culture, from Turkey to Tennessee, for a public that otherwise does not condone rape to joke about it when it comes to male criminals. And the more heinous the crime, not only does it become acceptable, but almost demanded in a justice system that often favors criminals over victims.
But raping women isn't acceptable in civilized countries. In the modern decade, 'gender' has become a subjective thing. Anthropology papers will even strangely let 'other', including alien life forms, be considered a valid gender in their surveys.

After the mid-term elections in the United States, a lot of Democratic staffers are looking for new jobs.
A new study finds that it's better to focus on skills in that new resume, and put the recent experience section farther down the page. For those outside the Washington, D.C. beltway, leave your blog off the resume entirely, according to political scientists from Duke University.

Female American athletes get less coverage in the media due to gender bias and instead what attention they get focuses more on attire, or how attractive, sexy or ladylike they are, write Emily Kaskan and Ivy Ho of the University of Massachusetts Lowell in Sex Roles, an interdisciplinary behavioral science journal offering a feminist perspective.
Kaskan and Ho looked at how pervasive small subtle biases and stereotyping of American female athletes are and what types of "microaggression" exist, examining how they put pressure on athletes and other women, as well. They reviewed popular Internet articles and research from the Psychinfo database, using keywords such as 'sexism,' 'sports media,' 'Serena Williams' and 'Olympic coverage.'
America talks a lot about body image, but only as it relates to girls. The war on thin women is in full swing, obesity is all the rage. Even lingerie companies have plus-sized models and when a European engineer wore a shirt that a female artist friend made for his birthday, America was outraged - because it had thin women on it.
Yet these movements are one-sided, to a point they might be considered sexist. Young males are the forgotten demographic, even though a new study finds that up to 25% of boys are on diets, whether they need them or not. Almost one third of male adolescents inaccurately perceive their own weight.

A decade of piano lessons with a woman who never allowed my lack of passion, prowess or practice ruin a good thing, exists as a mere red herring. A good woman, a sane woman, but even ten years with her wasn't enough to ameliorate the (mis)education I got from music classes in primary school.

Just wondering how it goes down. I mean, it isn't like a pot raid with SWAT guys in body armor knocking down your door, shooting the dogs, etc. Right? Putting your hydrometer in a baggie for later forensics?
If they did, which I doubt they really even do, it would be like this....sort of keystone coplike. They show up for something else like pot, and then go, "Holy Smokes, he's making a "spiritus substance which will more than likely make him blind...so I must bust him for that too."
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Wow. From the end of that video:"You can probably brew this stuff for a long time and not hurt anybody. But the first time that you brew it and and you don't get your recipe exactly right the concoction you make could at the very least blind somebody and worst case scenario kill the person that's drinking it. The concoction he was making could be deadly. Sure didn't look good."
Blah. I'm at work and can't see the video. Were they simply brewing or were they distilling? Because that's total BS if they were just brewing. If they were distilling, then they MIGHT have been able to get enough methanol in their brew to hurt someone, but then only if they were REALLY bad with their initial fermentation. I highly doubt it.
So many things to keep track of...Not enough space to write about it anymore.

Uhhh... the last time I checked only specific kinds of alcohol can cause blindness - and it has to be a high concentrations. Sounds like typical discriminatory assumptions to me.

The dispersibility of dry pigments in a dispersion medium is improved by spraying the pigment before or during its addition to the medium.
1. A pretreatment-by-spraying process for improving the dispersibility of a dry pigment in a dispersion medium which consists essentially of pretreating the pigment by spraying the pigment with at least one solvent immediately before it is added or whle it is being added to the dispersion medium, said solvent being the same as at least one of the solvents in the dispersion medium wherein said pretreatment results in substantially less mixing time over the same process absent pretreatment.
2. The process of claim 1 wherein the pigment is sprayed while it is being added to the dispersion medium.
3. The process of claim 1 wherein the solvent with which the dry pigment is sprayed is tridecyl alcohol.
4. The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of solvent with which the dry pigment is sprayed is up to about 10 percent, based on the weight of the total dispersion.
This invention relates to pigment dispersions. More particularly it relates to the pretreatment of dry pigments to improve their dispersibility.
In the production of inks, paints, colored plastics, and the like, an important factor is the introduction of the pigment. It is essential that the pigment be uniformly dispersed in the vehicle to assure uniform coloring. To obtain this desired uniformity, the pigment is usually ground in a dispersing agent and the resultant pigment paste is incorporated into the composition to give it the desired color, opacity, and other properties.
Many attempts have been made to improve the dispersibility of pigments. The use of the pigment in dry form has been suggested, but this has the disadvantage that powdered pigments are dusty and scatterable, bulky, and difficult to wet out. The addition of a surface active agent or other dispersant to the pigment is also not a satisfactory solution to the problem because it is difficult to obtain the required degree of dispersion.
The present invention provides a pigment that is quickly and readily dispersed in a liquid medium to form, for example, an ink system. This is accomplished by pretreating the dry pigment by spraying it with a wetting liquid as it is being introduced into the mixing vessel that contains the liquid medium into which the pigment is to be dispersed.
Spraying a dry pigment with a solvent prior to its being introduced into the liquid medium into which it is to be dispersed results in improved dispersion, better grind, fewer mill passes, and greater color strength.
The agent with which the dry pigment is sprayed may be one of the solvents in the ink formulation, but it is not necessarily limited thereto. The spraying material may be a portion, e.g., up to about 10 weight percent of the total batch, that is withheld from the dispersion liquid and applied to the dry pigment. Suitable materials are any solvent that is compatible with the batch being sprayed.
The rate of the spray depends upon both the properties of the pigment, that is, its specific gravity, absorptivity, and the like, and the rate of pigment addition. The droplet size of the spray is preferably, but not necessarily, fine; a stream, very fine droplets, or mist tend to give less good results.
Any known and convenient means of spraying the pigment may be used. The material used as the spray, the rate at which it is applied to the dry pigment, and the size of the droplets are matters within the skill of the art and are determined individually by experimentation for each pigment and each liquid medium.
After the pigment has been sprayed, it is mixed with the dispersion medium. In order to retain the improvements that have been obtained in dispersibility and color strength, the mixing speed is kept relatively slow, the speed being dependent upon the density of the pigment that is being added. It is also important that the temperature be held relatively low, generally below about 120� F. and preferably and between about 95� and 120� F. The position of the blade on the mixer also is varied depending upon the density of the pigment.
The process of this invention is applicable to any pigment, organic or inorganic, that is used in printing inks, coating compositions, paints, plastics, or the like. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, carbon blacks, iron oxides, molybdenum red, titanium white, phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green, quinacridones, lithol reds, Permanent Red, Permanent Yellow, Peacock Blue, or the like.
The liquid medium into which the pigment is dispersed is any suitable vehicle for an ink, coating, paint, or the like. It generally comprises a combination of natural or synthetic resins, such as for example polyesters, alkyds, phenolics, polyamides, cyclized rubber, petroleum resins, nitrocellulose, and polyvinyl chlorides, and a solvent, such as for example ethers, ketones, alcohols, hydrocarbons, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
After the pigment has been dispersed in the selected vehicle, the resulting material is ground by, for example, passing it through a three-roll mill as many times as are required to obtain the desired product. The milling temperature is preferably 140� F. or less.
The solvent tends to make the body of the ink longer, causing the pigment to hang back in the mill. This can be countered by the addition after the spraying procedure of a small amount of water, i.e., about 0.5 percent, which enables the pigment to flow through the mill at a more even rate.
The spraying speeds up the absorption of the pigment into the batch, cutting the required time by about 50 percent.
The invention will be illustrated by the following examples wherein all parts are by weight unless otherwise specified.
(A) A dispersion varnish was prepared by mixing 65 parts of polyester resin and 28 parts of tridecyl alcohol. The ingredients were mixed for 10 minutes at 500 r.p.m.
Then 350 parts of Monaco Red pigment was added to the dispersion medium over a period of 15 minutes while being sprayed with 7 parts of tridecyl alcohol at the rate of 0.5 part per minute. Mixing was continued while the pigment was being added.
Mixing was continued at 95� F. at 800 r.p.m. for 45 minutes after the addition of all the sprayed pigment. The mixture was then processed by one grinding pass on the three-roll mill and one canning pass, that is, the final pass for the ink to be milled into containers and shipped.
The product was a red printing ink.
(B) The procedure of part (A) was repeated except that 65 parts of the polyester resin and 35 parts of tridecyl alcohol were mixed to make the varnish, and the dry pigment was then added over a period of 50 minutes without spraying. Three grinding passes and one canning pass were required to obtain an ink product.
The color of the ink of part (A) was 5 percent stronger than that of part (B).
The procedure of parts (A) and (B) of Example 1 was repeated except that the temperature was 100� F. The color of the product of part (A) ws 8 percent stronger than that of part (B).
The procedure of parts (A) and (B) of Example 1 was repeated with each of the following pigments instead of Monaco Red: Peacock Blue, Fastolux Green, Permanent Red, and Permanent Yellow. The results were comparable.
The procedure of parts (A) and (B) of Example 1 was repeated with each of the following solvents instead of tridecyl alcohol: polypropylene glycol, butyl Carbitol acetate, Magie 470 oil (a straight run petroleum distillate boiling at 460� to 515� F.), Magie 535 oil (a straight run petroleum distillate boiling at 510� to 600� F.), MagieSol 47 (a hydrogenated petroleum middle distillate boiling at 445� to 525� F.), MagieSol 52 (a hydrogenated petroleum middle distillate boiling at 508� to 600� F.), and an acrylated varnish. The results were comparable.
The procedure of part (A) of Example 1 was repeated except that the pigment was sprayed with polypropylene glycol instead of tridecyl alcohol. The results were comparable.
The procedures of parts (A) and (B) of Example 1 were repeated with each of the following resins instead of the polyester varnish: alkyd varnish, hydrocarbon varnish, and asphaltum varnish. The results were comparable.
The pigment pretreatment process of this invention has many advantages both in reduced costs and improved quality. Since each grinding pass takes about 8 hours for a 1000-pound batch, reducing the number of grinding passes from 3 or 4 to 1 or 2 results in a considerable saving of dispersion time. Color strength increases of up to about 10 percent from the same amount of pigment have been obtained. The generation of pigment dust during both the addition and the mixing steps has been reduced to a minimum, thus lowering the amount of exposure of operating personnel to the pigment dust as well as reducing loss of pigment. The resulting inks have softer body without loss of viscosity, making them easier to handle. Batches that are sprayed require less mixing time than unsprayed batches and the wet pigment is absorbed faster into the batch. The amount of time saved depends upon the density of the pigment.

There are lots of sources of the widespread outrage and mockery surrounding Black Friday, and I don't think you can cleanly classify it as arising exclusively or even predominantly from classism.
When it comes to online shopping, know your measurements and use the size charts. If you are like me, you'll be grabbing that extra serving of stuffing (my favorite) the evening before -- and the morning after. So know your size before then so you can ensure a perfect fit.
The good memories we create now will warm our hearts through the bitter winter, and the possibilities for creating such experiences throughout the year are only limited by our imaginations. This is the time to establish habits that enrich our lives, and the world, every single day.
Black Friday has the power to do good. This day of extreme consumerism, this day that that causes stampedes in the name of giving gifts, can give the greatest gift of all -- the promise of a brighter future.
Leading with low prices cheapens your brand. Sure, people will rush out to buy your product, prompting a spike in sales. But at the same time, customers will be so focused on price they will lose sight of the intrinsic value in paying full retail price.
When it comes to holidays and birthdays, it's not about buying more, it's about buying smart.
The point is, they will be open and requiring employees to clock in and work on a national holiday set aside for people to give thanks with family and friends. It's wrong. Period.
The riot explodes at my feet. I scream and tear for any exit, through arms and faces and sweat. With the next pound of my heartbeat, I suddenly understand the fight for life or death. Ah yes. I have seen this before.
Here's my problem. The internet is spot-on for getting information about what you know you don't know. But it's not so good for what you don't know you don't know.
Yet again, gift cards are the most requested gift item of the holiday season. That means there's a good chance you will be shopping for one this year, and we have shopping secrets to ensure you get the most value for your gift card dollar.
In-store sales, like coupons and other similar concepts, are a form of price discrimination which can allow a business to make substantially more money.
With the busiest travel week of the year - Thanksgiving -- coming momentarily, now is the time to invest in a nice piece or set of luggage that will i...
It turns out that Anthropologie is a dog-friendly store! Which got me thinking, what other stores also welcome canine shoppers? So here it is: the ultimate list of national stores that are dog friendly.
Perched along the river of the same name, Hudson, New York was once the 24th largest city in the United States, an important trading post and site of Martin Van Buren's first law practice.
The problem is, I've treated shopping the way I've treated playing the guitar or meditating -- it's one of those things that I intend to learn to do, but I never get around to.
The Fear. The sheer terror. The knowledge that we're going to have to formulate an opinion on clothes that we're totally indifferent to.

School Board Votes To Allow Students To Read Book About Abortion, Rape
BOONE, N.C. (CBS Charlotte/AP) — Watauga County school officials say teachers can still have their students read the book "The House of Spirits."
The county board of education voted 3-2 Thursday night to allow continued use of the book.
A parent complained about the book in October. Chastity Lesesne is upset that the book includes scenes of abortion, rape and torture.
"It's unfortunate it got to this point," Lesesne said after the board vote.
The board opponents of using the book in class tried to get it removed from the curriculum but keep it in the school library. That effort failed.
"Parents need and deserve an opt-out if they don't want their children to read this particular book," said board member Brenda Reese, who said she has read the book twice since October. "But I don't feel like we should pull this book from the class."
Board member Ron Henries told the Winston-Salem Journal that he doesn't understand why parents would let their kids read this book.
"Even in the height of this controversy, a great multitude of parents have decided to let their children read this book," Henries told the Journal. "I don't know why. But a staggering number of people want their kids to read this book. I'm going to have to stick with parent choice."
The North Carolina ACLU backed the decision to keep the book in schools.
"We applaud the Watauga County Board of Education for doing the right thing and supporting the freedom to read," Chris Brook, legal director for the ACLU-NC Legal Foundation, told WCNC-TV. "Sophomore honors English students in Watauga schools will now be able to once again read 'The House of the Spirits' with the benefit of faculty led classroom discussions, and parents who object to assigned texts still have the option to choose an alternative reading option."
Sophomore honors English teacher Mary Kent Whitaker said in the four semesters she has used the book in class, more than 90 percent of parents approved their children reading it. Others were given an alternative.
Boone police are investigating 11 threatening letters sent to teachers about the book.

New York mayor-elect's daughter reveals alcohol, drug use
Chiara de Blasio, the 19-year-old daughter of New York Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio, has disclosed that she's fought depression and substance abuse throughout her adolescence and wants to help others overcome similar problems.
In an almost-five minute video with a musical soundtrack distributed on Tuesday by the mayor-elect's transition team, Chiara de Blasio, a college student who appeared in campaign commercials for her father, describes her descent into alcohol and marijuana use while struggling with anxiety and depression.
"It didn't start out as like a huge thing, but then it became a huge thing for me," she says, looking directly at the viewer. "When I went to college, I didn't really do the proper mental and emotional work to prepare myself. I just thought all my problems would go away if I just got on a plane and flew 3,000 miles."
Bill de Blasio, 52, is to be sworn in as the 109th mayor in six days. He will be the first Democrat to run City Hall in 20 years. During the campaign, he disclosed that his father, a combat veteran who lost a leg in the battle of Okinawa, never recovered from the trauma and committed suicide after several years of alcohol addiction.
