Disclosed is a process for forming a N,N-diarylquinacridone compound comprising the step of reacting a N,N-unsubstituted quinacridone compound with a haloaryl compound in the presence of a metal or metal compound to arylate the N and N positions and form the corresponding N,N-diarylquinacridone compound. Some of the methods use water-based consolidating emulsions that comprise an aqueous liquid and an emulsion comprising a hardening agent external phase and hardenable resin internal phase to drill along a production zone. The picking member rotates, and with each rotation generally causes an end note to be picked from a stack of sheets. The surgical port includes a port body mounted to the introducer with one of its leading and trailing ends disposed within the port passage and with the intermediate segment extending through the longitudinal slot and the other of the leading and trailing end external of the elongated introducer.
