This invention relates to a method of playing a modified version of blackjack wherein the dealer is an active rather than a passive participant. The dealer selects which of the two dealer initial cards to turn face-up for exposure to the other players. The dealer also elects whether to surrender or play the hand that is dealt. The dealer further may opt to take additional cards on any “soft” hand and is not forced to stand on a losing hand. Additional modifications to the standard game of blackjack which increase the role of strategy and skill as well as increase the excitement of the game relate to doubling up which includes removing the limit on the number of cards that a player may take after placing an additional wager and removing the limit on the amount by which the initial wager may be increased.

A tool for driving and setting nail-pin anchors and anchor bolts into concrete, the tool using the percussive action of a rotary hammer drill. The tool comprises a body member with a spring, a driver, and a ram inserted into the body member's bore. After a hole is drilled for insertion of the anchor, the masonry drill bit of the rotary hammer drill is slid inside the bore of the ram and temporarily locked to the tool. The rotary hammer drill is activated, and the drill bit turns inside the ram without affecting the body member or the anchor. Instead, the percussive force of the rotary hammer drill transfers its impact to the ram and the driver, which impacts the nail of the nail-pin anchor, or the stem of the anchor bolt, setting it into the concrete. A keyed bearing can be installed inside a sleeve of the ram in order to protect the tip of the masonry drill bit from shearing.

The inventive method provides highly desirable hand to various different types of fabrics through the initial immobilization of individual fibers within target fabrics and subsequent treatment through abrasion, sanding, or napping of at least a portion of the target fabric. Such a procedure includes "nicking" the immobilized fibers thereby permitting the fibers to produce a substantially balanced strength of the target fabric in the fill and warp directions while also providing the same degree of hand improvements as obtained with previous methods. Furthermore, this process also provides the unexpected improvement of non-pilling to synthetic fibers as the "nicking" of the immobilized fibers results in the lack of unraveling of fibers and thus the near impossibility of such fibers balling together to form unwanted pills on the fabric surface. Fabrics treated by this process are also contemplated within this invention.

A hair curler (1) includes a base body (2) including a center portion (3) being designed and arranged to support hair to be wound up. The hair curler (1) includes a first thermochromic substance (20) being designed and arranged to indicate a first temperature during a temperature increase of the hair curler (1) within a first temperature range by a first color change. The hair curler (1) includes a second thermochromic substance (35) being designed and arranged to indicate a lower second temperature during a temperature decrease of the hair curler (1) within a lower second temperature range by a second color change.

Range-dyed fabrics that possess excellent hand characteristics and simultaneously exhibit substantially nondirectional appearances are provided. Such a combination permits the production and utilization of an extremely comfortable apparel fabric that can be attached to any other similar type of fabric to form a target apparel article without the time-consuming need to align such component fabrics to ensure an overall aesthetic appearance is met for the target apparel article. In general, such a fabric is produced through the initial immobilization of individual fibers within target fabrics and subsequent treatment through abrasion, sanding, or sueding of at least a portion of the target fabric. Such a procedure produces a fabric of short pile height and desirable hand. Upon range-dyeing the target fabric exhibits the extra benefit of nondirectional surface characteristics. The ability to produce such specific fabrics without the need for jet-dyeing thus provides a significant cost advantage to the manufacturer and consumer.
