A water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition is provided containing sorbitan mono-oleate, sorbitan sesquioleate and glycerides of fatty acids as the emulsification agent and also containing a highly clorinated paraffinic hydrocarbon as an emulsification promoter. The presence of the clorinated hydrocarbon produces improved sensitivity even in small diameter cartridges.
1. A water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition which is cap-sensitive in small diameter charges, which comprises
(a) an aqueous solution of inorganic oxygen-supplying salt as a discontinuous emulsion phase;
(b) a water-immiscible liquefiable carbonaceous fuel as a continuous emulsion phase;
(c) occluded gas dispersed in said emulsion as an additional discontinuous phase;
(d) an oil-soluble emulsification agent selected from the group consisting of sorbitan mono-oleate, sorbitan-sesqui-oleate, mono and diglycerides of fat-forming fatty acids or mixtures thereof;
(e) an emulsification promoter comprising from 0.1% to 2.0% by weight of the total composition of a highly chlorinated paraffinic hydrocarbon comprising 10 to 20 carbon atoms.
2. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the inorganic oxygen-supplying salt is selected from the group consisting of the nitrates of ammonia, sodium and calcium and mixtures thereof.
3. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the water-immiscible liquefiable carbonaceous fuel is selected from the group consisting of petroleum oil, paraffin oil, mineral oil, vegetable oil, paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax and mineral wax and mixtures thereof.
4. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the said highly chlorinated paraffic hydrocarbon contains from 50% to 80% by weight of chlorine.
5. A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein up to 50% by weight of the said oil-soluble emulsification agent is replaced by plant lecithin.
6. A composition as claimed in claim 1 also containing gas-containing particulate matter.
7. A cap-sensitive water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition comprising essentially from 10% to 25% by weight of water, from 55% to 85% by weight of an inorganic oxygen-supplying salt, from 2% to 10% by weight of a water-immiscible liquefiable carbonaceous fuel, from 0.5% to 2% by weight of a water-in-oil emulsification agent, occluded gas, and as an emulsification promoter 0.1% to 2% by weight of a highly chlorinated paraffinic hydrocarbon comprising 10 to 20 carbon atoms.
8. A composition as claimed in claim 7 also containing gas-containing particulate material sufficient to maintain the density of the composition between 1.00 and 1.25 grams/cc.
This invention relates to an emulsion blasting agent of the type having an aqueous salt solution discontinuous phase, a liquefiable carbonaceous fuel continuous phase and containing occluded gas bubbles or gas-containing material as a further discontinuous phase. In particular, the invention describes a gas-containing emulsion explosive composition of enhanced sensitivity which, though devoid of any self-explosive ingredient, may be detonated in very small diameter charges.
Emulsion type explosive compositions are now well known in the explosives art. Bluhm, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,447,978, discloses a composition comprising an aqueous discontinuous phase containing dissolved oxygen-supplying salts, a carbonaceous fuel continuous phase, an occluded gas and a water-in-oil emulsifying agent. Optional particulate carbonaceous or metal fuel can be included. The compositions of Bluhm are somewhat limited in utility since detonation is possible only with relatively large diameter charges and the compositions require initiation by means of a substantial primer. Cattermole et al., in U.S. Pat. No. 3,674,578, describe a water-in-oil emulsion explosive comprising an inorganic salt, a nitrogen-base salt such as an amine nitrate, water, a water-insoluble oil as fuel, an emulsifier for the oil and incorporated gas bubbles. The composition of Cattermole, while detonable in charges having diameters of as little as 2 inches, requires the use of a nitrogen-base salt, e.g. ethylenediamine dinitrate, which is per se a self-explosive material. Wade, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,715,247, describes a small-diameter cap-sensitive emulsion type explosive composition comprising carbonaceous fuel, water, inorganic salts, an emulsifier, gas bubbles and a detonation catalyst consisting of a water-soluble salt containing selected metals. Wade again, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,765,964 describes an improvement in the composition of U.S. Pat. No. 3,715,247 by including therein a water-soluble strontium compound to provide further sensitivity.
While all of the aforementioned compositions are meritorious they are not without some disadvantages. The composition of Bluhm, for example, is only suitable for use in large diameter charges and requires strong primer initiation. The compositions of Cattermole et al. and Wade, while useful in small diameter charges, require the use of expensive raw materials, demand extra handling precautions because of the sensitive nature of the ingredients used and hence lead to increase costs.
It has now been found that all of the aforementioned disadvantages can be overcome. The present invention provides an improved small-diameter, water-in-oil emulsion explosive composition which, even when devoid of any sensitive explosive ingredient, is sensitive to detonation by means of an ordinary blasting cap at densities greater than 1.10 g/cm3. The improved composition of the invention comprises an aqueous solution of inorganic oxygen-supplying salt as the discontinuous phase, an insoluble, liquefiable carbonaceous fuel as the continuous phase, occluded gas bubbles, a water-in-oil type emulsifying agent selected from the group of sorbitan mono-oleate, sorbitan sesquioleate, mono and diglycerides of fat-forming fatty acids an mixtures of these and, as an emulsification promotion agent, a small amount of a highly chlorinated paraffinic hydrocarbon. By highly chlorinated paraffinic hydrocarbon is meant a product obtained by the chlorination of long chain (typically C10 -C20) paraffinic hydrocarbons and containing at least 50% by weight of chlorine. Such material is available from Imperial Chemical Industries Limited of London, England and is sold under the registered trade mark "CERECLOR".
The following examples and tables demonstrate the utility of the present invention.
Two water-in-oil emulsion explosive compositions were prepared from water, inorganic oxygen-supplying salts, liquefiable carbonaceous fuels and emulsifiers. To one of the two compositions was added, as an emulsification promoter, a small amount of a highly chlorinated paraffinic hydrocarbon containing 70% by weight of chlorine. The method of preparation comprised heating together the liquefiable carbonaceous fuel (wax), the hydrocarbon oil, mixed emulsifiers and the emulsification promoter at a temperature of from 60� C. to 85� C. until the wax ingredient was liquefied. A separate aqueous solution of inorganic salts and sodium borate buffer was prepared at a temperature of from 60� C. to 85� C. and mixed into the fuel/emulsifier solution with a high shear mixing apparatus to form a water-in-oil emulsion. Air was then whipped into the emulsion during cooling where it became occluded at the congealing temperature of the fuel solution.
The ingredients of the composition as well as the density and sensitivity of the final mixtures are shown in Table I, below, the quantities shown being in percent by weight.
TABLE I______________________________________Ingredients Mix No. 1 Mix No. 2______________________________________Ammonium nitrate 61.4 61.4Sodium nitrate 17.0 17.0Sodium borate 0.2 0.2Water 15.4 15.0EmulsifiersSorbitan sesqui-oleate 0.69 0.69Mono and diglycerides offat forming fatty acids 0.69 0.69Plant lecithin 0.02 0.02CERECLOR (Reg. trade mark) 70L 0.58 --Paraffin wax 1.82 2.5TEXACO (Reg. trade mark) mineraloil No. 522 2.2 2.5Density as made (g/cc) 1.10 1.10Oxygen balance +2.2 -0.3Cartridge diameter (inch) 5/8 5/8Temperature �C. -1 5Minimum initiator High strength 2.5 g cap contain- explosive ing 0.8 g of booster PETN______________________________________
From the results in Table I it can be seen that Mix No. 1 containing CERECLOR could be initiated by means of a high strength cap even at very low temperatures, while Mix No. 2, devoid of CERECLOR, required the use of a 2.5 g explosive booster to achieve detonation.
A series of water-in-oil emulsion explosives were made in a manner similar to that described in Example 1 and varying amounts of chlorinated paraffinic hydrocarbon were added to separate mixes. The sensitivity of the separate mixes was determined. The results are shown in Table II below, the quantities shown being in percent by weight.

An examination of the results in Table II demonstrate that Mix No. 3 containing no CERECLOR required substantial boosting to produce initiation while Mixes No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 were detonable by means of standard caps. Mix No. 6 further demonstrates that no particular advantage is gained in sensitivity by employing CERECLOR in an amount as great as 1.0% by weight. Indeed, a slight drop off in sensitivity is observed at this level. However, amounts of CERECLOR up to 2.0% by weight of the total composition have been found to be effective.
A series of three water-in-oil emulsion explosives were prepared in a manner similar to that described in Example 1. Chlorinated paraffinic hydrocarbons containing varying amounts of chlorine were added to the separate mixes and sensitivity of the mixes was determined. The results are shown in Table III below, where the quantities shown are by percent by weight.
TABLE III______________________________________Ingredients Mix No. 7 Mix No. 8 Mix No. 9______________________________________Ammonium nitrate 61.5 61.5 61.5Sodium nitrate 16.5 16.5 16.5Sodium borate 0.5 0.5 0.5Water 12.6 12.6 12.6Emulsifier(sorbitan mono-oleate)GLYCOMUL 0(trade mark) 1.4 1.4 1.4CERECLOR 54* 0.5CERECLOR 65L** 0.5CERECLOR 70L*** 0.5Paraffin wax 2.0 2.0 2.0Paraffin oil 2.7 2.7 2.7Glass microspheres 2.3 2.3 2.3Density (g/cc) 1.15 1.12 1.12Oxygen balance -0.3 -0.2 -0.1Cartridgediameter (inch) 1 1 1Temperature �C. 7 7 7Minimum initiator Electric No. 9 No. 6 blasting fulminate/ fulminate/ cap chlorate cap chlorate cap______________________________________ *contains 54%/w chlorine **contains 65%/w chlorine ***contains 70%/w chlorine
From the results shown in Table III it can be observed that the use of a chlorinated hydrocarbon having a high chlorine content (Mix No. 9) results in a somewhat more sensitive composition than that obtained using a chlorinated hydrocarbon of lesser chlorine content.
The preferred inorganic oxygen-supplying salt suitable for use in the improved explosive composition of the invention is ammonium nitrate; however a portion of the ammonium nitrate may be replaced by other inorganic oxygen-supplying salts such as sodium nitrate and calcium nitrate.
Suitable water-immiscible emulsifiable fuels for use in the composition include petroleum oils such as No. 2 fuel oil, paraffin oil, mineral oils and vegetable oils. Liquefiable waxes such as paraffin waxes, microcrystalline waxes and mineral waxes are also suitable fuels. Particularly preferred is a mixture of paraffin wax and paraffin oil of medium viscosity in order to provide good stability and sensitivity.
The emulsifiers which are suitable for use in the composition are emulsifiers derived from sorbitol by esterification, for example, sorbitan mono-oleate and sorbitan sesqui-oleate, as well as the mono and diglycerides of fat-forming fatty acids. Mixtures of all of these may be employed. It has been noted that these emulsifiers may show small differences in performances depending on their source and the quantities of impurities which may be present therein. It has been surprisingly found that a portion of the oil-soluble water-in-oil emulsifier may be replaced in the present composition with a plant lecithin, suitably technical grade soybean lecithin. While plant lecithin is not suitable for use by itself in the present composition, its combination with a typical water-in-oil emulsifier such as sorbitan sesqui-oleate, in proportions up to 50%, provides the same emulsifying action as does the use of sorbitan sesqui-oleate alone. Thus a substantial proportion of the more costly water-in-oil emulsifier can be replaced by relatively low cost plant lecithin without sacrifice in product quality.
To demonstrate the utility of a plant lecithin-substituted emulsifier in the composition of the invention, three explosive mixtures were prepared in the same manner as described in Example 1. To each of the mixes varying amounts of a blended lecithin/water-in-oil emulsifier were added and the resulting compositions tested for sensitivity. The results are recorded in Table IV below, the amounts shown being expressed as percent by weight.
TABLE IV______________________________________Ingredients Mix No. 10 Mix No. 11 Mix No. 12______________________________________Ammonium nitrate 61.6 61.5 60.3Sodium nitrate 16.5 16.5 16.6Sodium borate 0.5 0.5 0.5Water 12.6 12.6 14.6Emulsifier (sorbitansesqui-oleate) 1.2 1.0 0.6Plant lecithin 0.2 0.4 0.6CERECLOR 70L 0.6 0.6 0.5Paraffin wax 2.0 2.0 1.5Paraffin oil 2.5 2.6 2.5Glass microspheres 2.3 2.3 2.3Density (g/cc) 1.16 1.17 1.12Oxygen balance +0.4 +0.1 +2.6Cartridgediameter (inch) 1 1 1Temperature �C. 6 6 4Minimum initiator No. 9 No.9 Electric fulminate/ fulminate/ blasting chlorate cap chlorate cap cap______________________________________
As can be seen from Table IV, the use of a blended emulsifier containing up to 50% by weight of plant lecithin provides efficient emulsification without sacrifice in composition sensitivity or quality.
The emulsion explosive composition of the invention may be made using conventional high shear mixing apparatus normally used in emulsification processes.
In preparation, the carbonaceous fuel, emulsifier and emulsification promoter are first added to the mixer bowl and heated to a temperature of from 60� C. to 85� C. until liquefication is achieved. A solution of oxidizer salt, water and any buffering agent is separately prepared and added to the liquefied fuel in the mixer at a temperature of from 60� C. to 85� C. Mixing is continued until a viscous water-in-oil emulsion is formed. Where the inorganic salt used contains additives such as anti-caking materials and the like, the solution of oxidizer salt is preferably filtered before addition to the liquefied fuel in order to remove any insoluble matter which may be present. Such insoluble matter has been noted to adversely affect the emulsification and stability of the final composition. During cooling, air is whipped into the mixture by further agitations. Air-containing particulate material such as glass microspheres, if used, can also be added at any time after the emulsion is formed. The amount of air-containing particulate material employed will be sufficient to maintain the density of the composition between 1.00 and 1.25 grams/cc. After mixing, the product may be cartridged or carried to the blasting site and pumped directly in lined boreholes.
The quantity of oxygen-supplying salt used in the composition may range from 55% to 85% by weight. The amount of liquid or liquefiable carbonaceous fuel may be used in an amount of from 2% to 10% by weight. From 0.5% to 2% by weight of a water-in-oil emulsifier may be used and water in an amount of from 10% to 25% is suitable. The quantity of the highly chlorinated paraffinic hydrocarbon emulsification promoter suitable for use is from 0.1% to 2% by weight. A preferred composition comprises 75% to 83% by weight of oxidizing salts, 10% to 16% by weight of water, 3% to 6% by weight of liquefiable fuel, 0.7% to 1.6% by weight of emulsifier and 0.2% to 1% by weight of emulsification promoter.
The present invention thus provides a composition detonable in small diameter charges without the aid of any booster or primer. Because the composition is devoid of any self-explosive or other sensitive material, it may be manufactured safely and at low cost and stored and shipped with minimum risk. The composition lends itself to preparation in the explosive factory where it may be packaged for use or it may be prepared at the blasting site in a mobile mixing facility.

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's Clayton on Jared Veldheer and Ted Ginn, Jr.
The early returns for what the Arizona Cardinals have done in free agency, at least on a local level, have been pretty positive.
Their two biggest moves, signing Raiders left tackle Jared Veldheer and Panthers receiver Ted Ginn, Jr., appear to have filled two of the team's biggest holes.
Left tackle? Check.
Fast wide receiver? Check.
But while the Cardinals were filling needs with seemingly capable players, many other teams around the NFL were adding Pro Bowl talents to their rosters.
So, how have the Cardinals really done?
"I give it a double," ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Doug and Wolf Friday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM of the Veldheer signing. "It's not a home run; it's not Joe Thomas, it's not the best left tackle. But it's a solid left tackle that can get in there and play for many, many years.
"He's a good, solid player."
Clayton said Branden Albert, who ended up in Miami, and Eugene Monroe, who stayed in Baltimore, may have been better options, but the Cardinals did well given the fact that they weren't likely to get them anyway.
So, enter Veldheer, who was a fixture along the Raiders' offensive line at left tackle.
"It's a guy that can come in, be there for four or five years and then you make an evaluation on that," he said. "He's a good player, good guy, so I give it a solid double."
Given that some would say the left tackle position has more closely resembled a groundout in which the runner trips over first base, a solid double isn't too bad.
But then there's Ginn, the former first-round pick who is expected to bring an element of speed to the Cardinals offense.
"I like the fact that as a third receiver he's a guy that has some speed," Clayton said. "He's definitely got the ability to return.
"I don't know if he's that much better than Andre Roberts, but I think he's different and he has some explosion to him."
Ginn said Thursday he probably runs a 40-yard dash in around 4.38 seconds, and he averaged a career-best 15.4 yards per reception last season. His skill set would appear to be a good fit with the team's personnel.
"They've got Floyd, they've got Larry Fitzgerald, so I think it helps," Clayton said. "Because it helps on special teams and it definitely gives another weapon on offense."

I took a picture with the good doctor the night of his appearance on Jay Leno. I was having a glass of red wine in the picture with the good doctor. My wife and friends love the pic!
RP is great about taking pics
if you ask! Sometimes he is on a time crunch, but he almost always makes time to talk with and thank the people. :)
No pics but a handshake and multiple signatures
He seemed to be genuinely interested in each person he met. Totally accessible, unlike the other candidates who fear their supporters and set up security so that no one can bother them. Mrs. Paul is lovely and easy to talk to also.
I Want to Meet Carol
I'd really like to sit and talk with Carol some day.
And I'd really like to eavesdrop on a meeting between my Dad and Dr. Paul. Both worked for the family dairy as children, have some German anscestry, were born about the same time, served in the Air Force, and have many of the same values.
I don't need the pictures -- it makes me uncomfortable the same way it does him. He doesn't want hero-worship. I think it's great that he understands that it's important to many people -- most voters, too, unfortunately. (Voters need to stop thinking that big government will work if the right hero is elected.)
And, of course, I would be bored to death posing for picture after picture, myself, and I project that. I'm forever grateful he's willing to campaign!

however....as this campaign heats up, I'm hoping
that appropriate security measures are taken. Can not be stated enough!
Jesse Benton looks like Secret Service
just give him sunglasses.
Not mocking him...he DOES look protective and I appreciate that.
Yep. Two in fact.

"Awesome invitations and I liked that I was able to change the fonts and wording a bit to fit our event. Very happy with the quality of the product and also with the customer service department when I called in. Will definitely recommend to family and friends."
"This card is adorable ! Great fun design for a boy . Because of the design style printing on signature matte worked out great! I would definitely recommend this card. I will be ordering the matching thank you cards . The only issue I had was trying to fit the amount of text in each box ."
"The staff was especially helpful personalizing the text. The finished product was on excellent quality paper and was pleasing to everyone involved in the party planning."
"Perfect! We received many compliments on this card. Staff at little prints helped with adjusting size so we could fit our text in. Tiny Prints is a terrific company to deal with, and I highly recommend it. If I could make a single suggestion, I would ask that more room be left for text on the various design choices. Also, hosts should allow enough time for printing turnaround time."

From 1993 To 2013: 20 Iconic VIBE Interviews
Eminem Interview
Issue: Nov. 2002
Story Headline: The Zen of Eminem
Background: Hot off releasing his fourth studio album The Eminem Show, Slim Shady was now embarking on his Anger Management Tour. One would assume from the tour name that the always explicit, no holds barred rapper was attempting to make nice and change his ways, but you thought wrong. VIBE spoke with the fiery MC to get to know the man behind the angry mask.
Article Excerpt: "The fact that a man picks up a microphone... that's it you see?" says Eminem. "That's what makes him a rapper. It's not a gun. It's a microphone." This is something the anti rap contingent of the Senate has never understood. Eminem's show on the anger management tour opens with a video montage of real American politicians condemning the dangerous social phenomenon that is Eminem. Reality check: The FBI reports that there were 90,186 rapes and 15,517 murders reported in America in 2000. Eminem committed none of them.

Britt Hayes
Britt Hayes is a writer, movie lover, and sensible sweater enthusiast living in Austin, Texas. She watches too much TV and never eats her vegetables. Her mom is worried about her.
In the grand tradition of 'The Godfather,' 'Star Wars' and 'Back to the Future,' Syfy ordered a 'Sharknado 3' because you just can't do an epic proper justice unless you make it into a trilogy, thus cementing (or forcefully trying to demand by default) its proper place in classic cinema.
It's hard to imagine 'Jurassic Park' without John Williams' iconic score, and thanks to the brilliant minds over at Mondo, you'll have a chance to own that score once again when the boutique re-releases it -- on vinyl! -- in June. Hold onto your butts because this is one seriously awesome collector's item.
With 'Godzilla' stomping into theaters next month, Legendary and Warner Bros. are helping us get better acquainted with director Gareth Edwards' vision for the monster via some interesting new featurettes that take you behind the scenes of this exciting new film. Where else are you going to see Bryan Cranston do his best impression of Godzilla's iconic roar?
It seems that the folks over at Warner Bros. are quite pleased with Zack Snyder's work because the studio has just officially signed the 'Man of Steel' and 'Batman vs. Superman' director to direct the upcoming 'Justice League' film, as well. That's going to keep him -- and presumably Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck -- pretty busy for a while.
August seriously cannot get here soon enough, and while we've still got plenty of summer blockbusters to get through before we get to James Gunn and Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' we've got two more new pics from the upcoming movie to help us bide the time. Both images put the focus on Chris Pratt's Star-Lord, the leader of the rag-tag group of unlikely heroes.
Legendary debuted the first trailer (and poster!) for their upcoming horror flick 'As Above, So Below,' which takes found footage below ground and deep into the heart of the creepy catacombs of Paris. And while found footage has certainly been wearing out its welcome, the idea of a horror movie taking place in the catacombs is enough to pique our interest.
Not to be outdone by 'Jem and the Holograms,' Barbie will also be getting her own live-action movie -- but of course homegirl has to one-up the competition, so she's getting a franchise because dream homes and matching pink cars aren't cheap, you know.
'Jurassic Park 4' (now officially titled 'Jurassic World') only just began filming in Hawaii, but life finds a way and Universal is already planning sequels to the upcoming, uh, sequel. (Please read previous sentence in your best Jeff Goldblum voice.) The studio has some pretty big plans for the upcoming film, and those plans involve setting the stage to continue the franchise, if they can.
While we'll likely never see Spider-Man fighting side by side on the big screen with the Avengers, you can see all your favorite heroes teaming up in a different arena with Marvel Universe LIVE!, a new traveling production set to hit the road this summer. And now you can go behind the scenes with this new featurette on the upcoming production, which unites all your favorite Marvel heroes and villains for one spectacular show.
Hot on the heels of Mark Wahlberg receiving his achievement award at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards last night, Paramount unveiled the first official TV spot for 'Transformers 4,' ushering in a new era of 'Transformers' ... with Dinobots! We've also got a few new pics featuring Wahlberg striking some serious action poses.

Notre Dame senior swingman Ryan Ayers blogged for Irish Insights during the Irish's summer trip to Ireland and has been blogging for Insights throughout the 2008-09 basketball season. This is Ayers' fourth entry of the 2008-09 season. His first three entries can be found here, here and here.
It has been a tough week.
Obviously losing is no fun, so it is not something I am going to talk about in this entry. We traveled to Cincinnati last week and then to Los Angeles for the weekend. L.A. is definitely one of my favorite cities. I could for sure see myself living in California at some point in my life. I am really into the culture and the style out there. Even though the game didn't turn out the way we wanted, playing UCLA in Pauley Pavilion might have been the only highlight to the weekend.
The campus, the atmosphere, and the history were an experience I will never forget. Actually, Jaleel White was sitting courtside at our game. Now for those who do not know Jaleel White, does Steve Urkel from the 90's sitcom "Family Matters" ring a bell? I don't know about you, but Urkel was definitely one of my TV idols growing up. Every Friday night, Urkel and the Winslows had my full attention. To clear up confusion, I did not wear the spiffy suspenders, the high water jeans, and the coke bottle glasses (actually the glasses yes, I have terrible vision) like Urkel did, but I was an avid fan. In a way, I am a big Hollywood buff who tries to stay informed on the stars I enjoy watching (imdb.com is one of my favorite sites). L.A. is a cool city, with diverse people, and I am sure I will be back on the west coast soon.
We were on the bus in L.A., and the topic of "who is good roommate?" came up. My name was mentioned as one of the best, which I was happy with (haha). My answer was a guy who is not on our team anymore, Glenn Tyson Proffitt, better known as Ty Proffitt. Ty transferred at the beginning of the school year, but for the 16 months he was here, he had a lasting impact on every guy on the team. This good ole country boy was the ultimate chiller. What I mean is that Ty was very low maintenance and the guy you can just kick back and watch a movie or play video games with. I think one weekend over the summer he didn't leave his room on a Saturday. Instead of enjoying the weather by being outside at the pool, Ty preferred to sit at his computer with his headset destroying victims in the latest version of "Call of Duty" video game. I totally respect Ty's commitment to victory even though I voted him the best roommate because of his easygoing characteristics. So a toast to you Glenn Tyson. You are missed.
Player Profile: Jonathan Peoples, 6'3'' guard, Bellwood. Ill.
Better known as "JP" or "Woo Woo" by some, Jon is similar to Ty Proffitt in that they are both laid back. A Chicago native, JP loves his home city and will easily point out the best eatery spots around town for those who are interested. In addition, JP is very fashion conscious. He always has the latest Air Jordans or Air Force Ones. As he says, "Gotta stay fresh, playa." JP is definitely my go to guy for anything, partly because he laughs at all my lame jokes. One thing I can tell you about JP is that he loves sweets. Though he is trying to cut back, do not be surprised to see him at the local ice cream shop with a chocolate and peanut butter blizzard in his hand. Sorry JP, love ya buddy.
Before I go, I think this week is going to be different. Things are going to change for us as a team, so keep an eye out. The roommates and I went grocery shopping today, so Chef Zach (Hillesland) is cooking up a storm in the kitchen right now. His obsession with the Food Network is paying off. He has actually become a good chef. I am going to go eat and enjoy!
Thanks for reading,

1. Find the right representativeThe experience and knowledge of a dedicated real estate professional can be priceless. A good Realtor® forms a powerful team with his or her clients that makes it possible for them to have a smooth, successful, stress-free sale.
2. Determine your needs/wants for the sale and for your new homeSelling your primary residence can be tricky because you have to simultaneously be thinking about where you would like to buy. First weigh your priorities – selling price is certainly important, but having a quick and efficient sale can often be worth accepting a slightly lower offer. Talk to your agent and make sure you're comfortable with where your priorities are.
At the same time, you should be compiling a needs/wants list for the home you will buy. You will probably have to act fairly quickly when your house sells, so any amount of preparation you can do will serve you well.
3. Prepare your house for showingUnderprepared homes can be sales disasters. Your home will never get as much attention from potential buyers as when it is first listed, so clearing clutter, cleaning, making repairs, and putting your home's best foot forward is essential. Don't "open for business" until your home is ready to be seen as favorably as possible.
4. Find out what your local market looks likeBeing realistic about your market is the key to a smooth sale. There is no substitute for a professional real estate representative when it comes to local market knowledge.
5. List away!Lots of photos and online exposure are the key to getting a good response for your listing. Working with an agent who uses Point2 Agent software is a great step in the right direction. Now just "open" the house and sit back and wait for the flood of eager buyers!
I can give you an educated idea of what your home's value is based on experience, local knowledge, and comparable actual sales in your area! I am happy to be able to provide this service free of charge.

Justin Safford scored nine points vs. UConn.
March 28, 2009
Buy Game Photos | Box Score | Photo Gallery
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -Connecticut often overwhelms opponents with its size and strength.
Harried by the fighting Missouri Tigers, UConn needed something else: speed.
Enter 6-foot-1 freshman Kemba Walker, who matched a career high with 23 points as the top-seeded Huskies held off Missouri 82-75 in the West Regional final on Saturday. UConn earned a trip to Detroit and extended the Big East's dominance of the NCAA tournament.
UConn is headed to its third Final Four, where it will meet either Big East rival Louisville or Big Ten powerhouse Michigan State. This trip may have seemed harder than the others, because the Huskies were rocked this week by a report alleging that they violated NCAA recruiting rules.
Then came a duel with Mizzou. But the Huskies kept their poise even as the Tigers erased an early 11-point lead to surge ahead in the second half.
"We took some bumps, we took some bruises, but here we are once again going to the Final Four, and I'm just elated," UConn coach Jim Calhoun said.
Among those banged up was 7-foot-3 center Hasheem Thabeet, who bloodied a finger on his right hand scrapping for a loose ball on the floor in the second half. The Big East co-player of the year finished with 13 rebounds but only five points and no blocks, and held a bandage to his hand after the game.
"I'm getting it checked out, but I should be good," Thabeet said.
A.J. Price added 18 points and was named most outstanding player of the West region. But the difference was Walker, who deftly handled the Tigers' pressure defense.
"I told him he grew up," Price said. "He played like a man among boys today."
When it ended, Calhoun made an exaggerated fist pump and the emotional Huskies (31-4) mobbed each other at center court.
"I can't lie to you, after the game I actually did cry," said Walker, who went 7-of-9 from the floor and 9-of-10 from the free throw line.
UConn kept their emotions in check when it counted, though, clinching the victory by making all 10 of their free throws in the final 1:02.
The Huskies are still in the hunt for their third national title - the first two went through regionals in Phoenix in 1999 and 2004.
"We do love coming out here," Calhoun said with a chuckle. "I'm buying a house. I'll come out here once every five years."
While the Huskies are headed for Detroit, the wait goes on for Missouri, which remains one of the top programs never to reach a Final Four.
Leo Lyons and Matt Lawrence each had 13 points for Missouri (31-7), which was long on heart but short on rebounds. UConn dominated the boards 47-32.
"Obviously, I hurt for our guys," Mizzou coach Mike Anderson said. "I thought I could get them to that magical place. Maybe we just ran out of time, a couple minutes."
Indeed, the Tigers edged within 68-65 on Justin Stafford's tip-in with 2:42 to go.
That's when Walker answered with the shot of the game - an improbable off-balance bank shot as the shot clock clicked toward :00.
"I was turning and turning and turning, and I just kind of threw it up," Walker said. "It was definitely a big basket. It was a heartbreaker."
Said Missouri's J.T. Tiller, "It just described what kind of day it was."
Stafford scored again, but Price hit a jumper from the lane to push the Huskies' lead to 72-67, and the Tigers never recovered.
"It does feel like it slipped away," Lyons said. "That game right there was a game we could have won and should have won."
The first meeting between the schools featured a clash of styles. The Tigers, who had scored 102 points on Memphis on Thursday night, wanted a track meet. The Huskies wanted a weightlifting contest.
Early on, it was all UConn. The Huskies easily broke Missouri's pressure defense and built a 13-2 lead before Anderson called timeout three minutes into the game.
The Tigers regrouped, and on the next possession they drew the first foul on Thabeet, who went to the bench.
It was clear the Tigers weren't going to go away. And for a few moments it looked like they would be headed to Detroit instead of the Huskies.
Keith Ramsey's layup off a dish from Tiller capped a 9-0 run and gave Missouri its first lead, 50-49, with 13:30 to play in the game.
Sensing the upset, the University of Phoenix Stadium crowd of 18,886 began to roar. Two nights earlier, second-seeded Memphis had wilted in the face of the Tigers' pressure. But the Huskies are a stouter group, toughened by a winter in the rugged Big East.
"They've got some experienced guys that wouldn't get rattled," Anderson said.
The dejected Tigers walked off to an ovation from the black-and-gold-clad throng that had made the trip from the Midwest. The Huskies mounted a hastily erected stage to accept the West region trophy, but they dispensed with the traditional net-cutting ceremony.
That one will have to wait at least a week.
"We just chose not to cut down the nets," Price said. "Hopefully, we'll have a chance to cut them down somewhere else."
