Sports and song really produced Sunday night for NBC, CBS and ABC.
NBC's "Sunday Night Football" peaked with 21 million viewers at 9:30, according to early ratings. The game average is likely to climb big time. The Dallas Cowboys beat the New York Giants, 31-28.
A football overrrun on CBS pulled in 25.8 million and pushed back the schedule by 40 minutes from its regular start. The Denver Broncos beat the Miami Dolphins, 39-36.
The American Music Awards, a big night for Taylor Swift, averaged 11.5 million over three hours for ABC.
The early prime-time averages: NBC with 16.3 million, CBS with 14.6 million, ABC with 10.4 million and Fox with 2.5 million. NBC won the 18-to-49 age group, and in that count ABC placed second ahead of CBS. Final numbers will be released Tuesday morning.
Football seemed to help the CBS series. The network said "60 Minutes" had 18.5 million viewers, "Madam Secretary" drew 12.6 million and "The Good Wife" attracted 10.1 million for its fall finale.

Jeff Day may be out at News 13, but the meteorologist's contributions to the cable news channel should not be forgotten.
So says retired meteorologist Danny Treanor, who logged 10 years at News 13 and retired in October 2013.
"Jeff, to me, often symbolized what has been accomplished by News 13," Treanor said in an email Monday. "He was there the day the doors were opened and the switch was thrown. He was the ONLY weather person in the beginning. He came in to do the mornings, took a beak and came back to do the evening weathers."
Day said that he learned Friday that his contract had been terminated after more than 17 years at News 13. Treanor underscored just how important Day was to the operation.
"The success of News 13 is around the 'Weather on the Ones' concept," Treanor said. "People could get weather every 10 minutes, and Jeff was the face of that information. The staff has grown to have five weather people, and the leader of the team was Jeff Day. He deserves a statue in the...Read more
Katy Perry is getting a choice assignment: headlining the Super Bowl halftime show Feb. 1 on NBC.
Bob Costas announced Perry's gig during the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants game on "Sunday Night Football."
Via Twitter, Perry also said she will perform at the Super Bowl. She was on tour in Australia but watching the Cowboys–Giants game.
She joins a list of halftime acts that includes Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Madonna, the Who, Bruce SpringsteenRead more
You've seen the last of chief meteorologist Jeff Day at News 13. He was told Friday morning that his contract was terminated.
Day, 49, logged 17 years and three months at the cable news channel, or since the operation began.
"When we started I was the only the meteorologist," Day said Sunday night. After a tornado outbreak in 1998, the channel decided he needed help.
Day said it was a little bit of a surprise that he was out at the channel.
"Jeff Day did leave News 13 on Friday," Tim Geraghty, senior director news, said Monday. "We thank him for his years of service to our company and wish him the best in the future."
Day's reaction? "It's the nature of the business," he said. "You always have to be prepared. It's just one of the things you find in the business. I'm dealing with it. It's been 17 years of dedication and hard work. But now there's relaxation and some excitement about finding a new path to take. I love Central Florida."
He spoke with pride about his twin daughters, who...Read more
The coming week in TV is divided in two: The November sweeps ratings period runs through Wednesday, then holiday programming flourishes. "Dancing With the Stars" will name a winner. The "NCIS" dramas will bring on guest stars. Taylor Swift will be a familiar presence. The highlights:

The four remaining couples perform twice at 8 p.m. Monday, and one celebrity will be ejected at the episode's end. ABC offers a "Dancing" recap special at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Indian IT exports are at $69.7Billions
Satyanarayana, secretary, department of electronics and IT has said that IT exports from our country touched over $69.7 billion during financial year 2011-12 in a press meet held in Hyderabad yesterday. When asked whether IT exports would be effected over US elections, he preferred to stay silent. He said that the IT Investment Regions (ITIRs) scheme was in a progressive state . "We need to take it further. It has to go to a high level committee." He said that time frame cannot be fixed for giving final shape to ITIRS. Further, he stated that so far only AP, Karnataka and Orissa came forward to create ITIRS. ITIRs will be larger than IT SEZs.
The minimum processing area would be 40 percent of the total area of the ITIR and the remaining will be for roads, buildings and other utilities. The scheme is expected to create new investment regions for IT, IT enabled services and electronic hardware manufacturing sector away from big cities. All in all, according to Satyanarayana, ITIRS might take some time to come into reality. Looks like he's looking forward to other states too to come forward in setting up ITIRS.

Joe Scudda - Catch Up
Artist: Joe Scudda
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: Not Your Average Joe EP
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 10 votes )
Like the Black Flag Records crew (featured today with You Wanna Battle), Joe Scudda is of the opinion that the game needs a violent shake-up – and he's just the man to do it. On his first solo feature, the North Carolina native rejoins forces with Jaded collaborator Statik Selektah to lay out his blueprint for rap rehabilitation, and scoff at those who just can't seem to Catch Up with his style. Over the Boston beatsmith's brash, street-ready brass samples, Scudda spits three verses' worth of hard-hitting trash talk, saving his harshest words for rival emcees: "That sh*t you're spittin', we don't care / you're worse than a badass ho with no hair." (And believe you me, that's pretty bad.) Though the Kanye reference may be a little past its 'sell-by' date, this track will undoubtedly have fans of aggressive underground jams reaching to "rewind that." If that sounds like you, pick up a copy of the emcee's Hall Of Justus & The Smoking Section Present: Not Your Average Joe EP when it drops February 23, and stay tuned for Scudda's contribution to our Booth-exclusive freestyle series, set to premiere in March.

Supermarket promises leave a bitter taste
Published at 11:32, Thursday, 07 March 2013
You can't have missed the massive, multi-million pound advertising campaign that Tesco is running.
Full pages in national newspapers and ads on the radio to say how they are big customers and big supporters of British agriculture and how they are going to source more of their meat from our own farms, rather than from, say, Poland, France, Ireland or New Zealand.
This campaign follows a massive and massively expensive ad campaign in January when they apologised for some of their burgers containing horsemeat.
It is heartening that the nation's grocer is taking it all so seriously and making such bold statements. So why am I not entirely convinced by their warm and reassuring words?
Partly because it is one thing to talk the talk and entirely another, harder and more difficult thing to walk the walk.
But the main reason I'm not entirely convinced is because they – and other supermarkets – do not have a brilliant record of having fair and reasonable relationships with farmers.
Time and again we've heard nightmare tales of farmers agreeing contracts to supply a major supermarket, only for the deal to turn sour as tougher demands are made for more and cheaper produce.
Last week, Tesco's chief executive Philip Clarke made a "sincere commitment" to source more meat closer to home, with all fresh chicken coming from British suppliers from July as a first step, and insisted the changes would not make food more expensive.
His comments come after farming leaders demanded that supermarkets stop scouring the world for the cheapest food they could find and instead support the British products consumers want.
This is what should be happening anyway.
Apart from the fact that our animal husbandry is the best in the world, our traceability schemes second to none, spending money in your own country creates more wealth and jobs for your own country than spending abroad.
Mr Clarke told the National Farmers' Union annual conference: "Where it is reasonable to do so, we will source from British producers.
"As a first step I announce that from July all of our fresh chicken must come from UK farmers. No exceptions.
"And we will move, over time, to make sure all our chicken in all our products, fresh or frozen, is from the British Isles," he said, to applause from farmers.
He also said Tesco would conduct a root and branch review of its supply chains as part of a genuine shift in how the company sourced the products it sold, and that part of the new approach would be working directly with farmers and growers.
But he said: "It does not follow that the measures I'm announcing today means food becomes more expensive."
This is the part that worries me.
I'll be amazed if our farmers can produce meat as cheaply as that found through dealers and manufacturers on the continent.
Nor should they be expected to.
We don't want farm prices driven so low that we drive farmers out of business.
We all want value for money and food at a reasonable price, but not at a price that means corners have to be cut, risks have to be taken or producers made bankrupt.
As we near the end of Fairtrade fortnight, it's worth thinking about this.
It has been said before, I know, but it is worth repeating: The ethos of fairly-traded produce should start at home.
Tesco and others have to make profits, but they should not be excessive and they should not be made from the misfortune of others.
That would leave a bitter taste in the mouth and could cause irreparable damage to the country agriculture industry.

Mods, if this is considered rude to ask about another forum here, please delete...I seem to recall some of the folks here also frequent the other forum, that is why I asked here.
Does anyone know if the M and P Forum, formerly run by "Jester" then sold or transferred to another person, is gone for good or what? I have been unable to get anything for days, and now get one of those generic web pages when I hit the FS button for it. That place was a great tech resource for that particular gun.
EDIT-Well, just found on another forum that the "Domain Name Expired," hadn't noticed that. Guess it wasn't paying the rent, which is a shame with the amount of info there that looks to be gone.

You wouldn't have a second one at a cocktail party
As the previous reviewer noted they are very strong in flavour & that's pretty much it.

Tasty Smoked Salmon Canape
Purchased as a flash sale on a whim and pleasantly surprized. The flavour is deep, giving a lip smacking effect. The texture is actually quite firm and it is not a canape of mush. Good for dieters too as each one has only 21 kcal and I defy you could eat more than 2-3 per visit as the flavour is so strong. Does not contain sun-ripened tomato & basil centre as per Ocado compared to Young's packaging, & Ocado informed of this error.

Furthering G. W. Allport's (1954) contentions for optimal contact, the authors introduce a new construct: the perceived importance of contact. They propose that perceived importance is the best proximal predictor of contact's reduction of prejudice. If individuals have opportunities for contact at work or in the neighborhood, their chances to have intergroup acquaintances and friends increase. Intergroup contact among acquaintances and friends can be perceived as more or less important, which in turn determines intergroup evaluations. A 1st study shows that the new measure of perceived importance is indeed distinct from established quantity and quality indicators. The results are cross-validated in a 2nd study that also sheds light on the meaning of importance. In 3rd and 4th studies, structural equation analyses and a meta-analysis support the hypotheses.

Hot Pink Ultralight Medical Bracelets
- Product Review (submitted on September 4, 2012):
- Wonderful...my 5 year old granddaughter picked it out and absolutely loves it. She just started school today and I feel so much better knowing she's wearing the bracelet and necklace. She is very allergic to peanuts and the thought of her having an allergic reaction away from home is very scary. I know with the bracelet that they may know what's happening and help her before it is too late.

Jemison Middle School mourns sixth grader's deathBy Stephen Dawkins Published 9:01pm Friday, April 19, 2013
Jemison Middle School students said their final goodbyes to a classmate on Friday, but the memories and emotions tied to the passing of Christopher Rico will surely not float away as easily as the balloons that carried their messages.
Rico, a 12-year-old sixth grader, passed away on April 15 after a brain aneurysm ruptured.
Teachers encouraged students this week to write messages to Rico. The messages were tied to balloons, which were released Friday afternoon.
Some of the messages read: "I love and miss you Chris," "We will always love you," and "You will be in our hearts forever."
JMS Principal Mark Knight said the short program was necessary for teachers and students who wanted to say goodbye.
"It's such a tragic loss for us," Knight said. "He was a great kid. We're going to miss him.
"I wish we could do more for the family. I know they're grieving."
Before the balloons were released, several of Rico's friends sang "Stand by Me," and friend Ben Vasquez read a dedication that will be published in the school yearbook.
Part of the dedication was written by his teacher, Jodie Lawley: "Christopher will always be remembered for his contagious smile and unforgettable personality. He made an impression in this sixth grade class that will never be forgotten."
JMS students raised $740 for a donation to the Rico family. The family was also given a card from the faculty and a memory book that was filled with Rico's school records and notes to the family.
Pinedale Gardens and JMS donated the balloons for the release.

Carlisle man admits carrying knife
Last updated at 10:54, Saturday, 17 May 2014
A 33-year-old Carlisle man has been ordered to attend a six-month drug rehabilitation course after he admitted carrying a knife.
Anthony Robson, from Borland Avenue in Botcherby, was sentenced on Wednesday at Carlisle Crown Court after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing.
He also previously admitted damaging a window on the day that his trial was due to begin.
The court heard that he had been kept in custody since January while he waited to be sentenced, and to give the Probation Service time to prepare reports outlining sentencing recommendations.
Judge Barbara Forrester said that officers reported that Robson had made "very good progress" during a previous community order following "a long history of drug use".
However, she felt that a recommended three-month community order was not long enough for Robson to continue with the progress he had already made.
She said: "You didn't re-offend during the drug rehabilitation requirement.
"It would be appropriate to deal with you today and impose a further drug rehabilitation requirement."
The judge made the community order for six months and said that the first review of progress would be next month.
Robson was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £60.

Worth around $12.5 million. Aaron Wilson
The Carolina Panthers will designate defensive end Greg Hardy with the franchise tag, the organization announced on Friday.
The deadline to apply the franchise tag is Monday. For defensive ends, the tag for defensive ends is estimated to be in the $12.5 million range.
"We are very pleased that Greg will be back with the Panthers next season," Carolina coach Ron Rivera said in a statement. "He was a big reason we were able to lead the league in sacks last year and keeps our defensive line intact."
Hardy finished his 2013 campaign with 15 sacks, which helped him land his first appearance in the NFL Pro Bowl.
The Panthers drafted Hardy in the sixth round out of Ole Miss in 2010.
"The franchise mechanism gives us time to secure the services of a very good player while we continue to look at the future of Greg with the Carolina Panthers," general manager Dave Gettleman said. "We have had great dialogue with both Greg and his agent. It was important to keep our defensive front together."

Oh, god, the ending. I've never laughed that hard at a game's ending before. Ford kills Adams and the ASE absorbs his soul. This signals a spaceship in another part of the galaxy to come to Earth. Seconds later, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln step out of the conduit and say "We're here to help!". To top it all off, the ending achievement is called "You're Winner!" GOAT.

DEFINITION of 'Pet Insurance'
A policy purchased by the owner of a pet that will lessen the overall costs if expensive medical bills are incurred by that pet. This is similar to health insurance policies except that it relates specifically to pets and will cover, either fully or in part, the often expensive fees that are incurred during veterinary procedures. Pet insurance started in the U.S. in 1980, and was the first policy was sold in 1982 for television's Lassie.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Pet Insurance'
Many animal medical procedures, such as surgeries and sickness, are very expensive to treat. To help with these costs, a pet owner can buy a policy that will save out-of-pocket expenses by paying a yearly or monthly fee known as the premium. The cost and coverage changes with which policy you get and for what type of animal you're insuring. For instance, it costs more for an outdoor cat than an indoor, and premiums are higher for the percentage of coverage you wish to buy.

17. The process as claimed in claim 11, in which the final coating is composed of a drawable or retractable polymer sleeve placed on the hollow body.
The present invention relates to a process for obtaining polyester bioriented hollow bodies manufactured by blowing from a preform and it relates more particularly to a process for obtaining bioriented polyester hollow bodies which are gas and flavor impervious.
In the field of hollow bodies, polyesters have rapidly developed in recent years. In particular, ethylene polyterephtalate, by a biorientation-blowing process of preforms, has shown a remarkable aptitude for fabrication of bottles with excellent mechanical properties (notably shock resistance and resistance to internal pressure), allowing for their advantageous usage in the packaging of pressurized liquids and carbonated beverages. However, occasionally, when dealing with highly flavored liquids and/or oxygen sensitive liquids and/or carbonated liquids, the packaged product is deficient from the standpoint of preservation where the polyterephtalate hollow bodies are not sufficiently gas or flavor impervious. This is even more so when the body wall is thin and when the ratio of the surface of the receptacle to the volume of the contents is significant.
To reduce hollow body permeability, it has previously been proposed to coat the surfaces with a "barrier" material having less permeability to gases than that of the substrate.
According to known processes, the coating can be applied either on the finished receptacle or on the preform; the various techniques include coextrusion, moulding from a casting, and the coating processes of soaking, pulverization, etc. The first two techniques require complex, costly equipment. The primary drawback of coating by soaking or pulverization on the finished product is that, due to the geometry of the receptacle, it is difficult to control the thickness of the deposited layer; furthermore, if polyvinyl alcohol is used as the barrier material, the coating is known to be very water sensitive; it is known that under very moist conditions, polyvinyl alcohol polymers have the drawbacks of not remaining impervious to oxygen and of being sensitive to streaks and stains. Coating by soaking or pulverization at the preform stage has been proposed on various substrates such as vinyl polychloride, polyolefins, polycarbonates and polyamides by using a latex of vinylidene polychloride (Belgian Pat. No. 803 139). In practice, the use of vinylidene polychloride involves the application of several successive layers with intermediate drying after each layer because, in the case of a thick layer, the surface film prevents the drying of lower layers and can result in delamination.
The present invention pertains to a process for the preparation of bioriented polyester hollow objects rendered gas and flavor tight or impervious by means of a polyvinyl alcohol coating of uniform thickness.
According to the invention, this is achieved by a coating process according to which at least one layer of polyvinyl alcohol in aqueous solution is deposited on at least one wall of a polyester tube or preform, the coating is dried, after which the preform is drawn and blown in a mould at the orientation temperature of the polyester in order to obtain a hollow body with at least one wall covered with a bioriented, adherent film of polyvinyl alcohol.
The polyester constituting the base substrate is a glycol polyterephtalate. Polyethelene terephtalate (including homopolymers and copolymers consisting of small quantities of other diol and/or triol and/or diacid units) is a particularly interesting material; its intrinsic viscosity (measured in ortho-chlorophenol) is preferably between 0.60 and 1.2 dl/g.
The preform can be obtained directly or indirectly from an extruded tube or by any known means such as injection, injection-blowing, extrusion-blowing, compression or transfer. For the sake of simplicity, the term preform is used, whether dealing with a finished preform (closed end and formed neck) or a blank such as a tube section.
The polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution can be applied on the preform using any appropriate method, for example, soaking, coating with a blade or an air doctor, pulverization, sprinkling, etc. Alternately, the coating can be applied directly at the time of tube extrusion, after leaving the drawplate, in which case the tubes are then dried and cut to the desired length, eventually stored, before being transformed into preforms. It is best that the coating be applied at a temperature between 40� and 60� C.
Gas and vapor tightness of the coating is a function of the thickness of the coat on the finished product and of the nature of the polyvinyl alcohol. To obtain good non-polar gas tightness, it is preferable to choose products obtained from vinyl polyesters containing at least 90% and preferably more than 97% of vinyl alcohol moleties, vinyl polyesters can be represented in particular by vinyl polyacetates and their copolymers rich in acetate, such as acetate copolymers of vinyl-ethylene consisting of less than 10% ethylene unit. Products such as these are available on the market. Although high molecular weight polyvinyl alcohols display maximum tightness, especially in a moist atmosphere, their usage may cause solution difficulties, resulting in the necessity of having to deposit several coats successively in order to obtain a sufficiently thick final coating. A good compromise is to use a polyvinyl alcohol with an ester index between 2 and 150, preferably lower than 20, and a viscosity (measured in solution at 4% in water) of less than 20 cp and more specifically between 2 and 10 cp. The polyvinyl alcohol concentration in the solution is generally between 5 and 25%. The solvent can either be water alone, or a mixture of water and hydrosoluble adjuvants with boiling points lower than 150� C., such as ethyl or methyl alcohols, possibly having small amounts, generally less than 5%, of other hydrosoluble agents with high boiling points, such as glycerol or glycol ethylene. It is therefore easy to deposit amounts (grammages) of more than 30 g/m2 in a single coat, which can suffice in some applications. It is also possible to apply the coating in several successive layers by using one single composition or different compositions. For example, the first coat may consist of a low molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol with a fairly high ester index, with the second coat consisting of a polyvinyl alcohol with a very low ester index and a higher molecular weight.
The polyvinyl alcohol solutions may, of course, contain various adjuvants such as emulsifiers, plasticizers, cross-linking agents, bactericides, fungicides, anti-static agents, slip agents, loading agents, colorants, pigments and cross-linking agents.
To facilitate moistening and consequently coating adhesion, it is suggested, depending on the nature of the substrate and that of the coating layer, to treat the surface of the polyester beforehand, for example, by the Corona effect or by application of a flame directly onto the surface and/or to reduce the surface tension of the polyvinyl alcohol solution by incorporating surface-active agents.
The drying time and drying intensity of the polyvinyl alcohol deposit(s) should be selected so as to avoid any danger of softening and/or premature crystallization of the base polyester and under such conditions that the polyvinyl alcohol coating can then be drawn without cracking or delaminating, all this while acquiring a crystalline, bioriented structure favorable for obtaining improved physical and mechanical properties. It is preferable to maintain a residual moisture content of more than 0.01%. A practical production method consists in a partial drying so that the moisture content is relatively high, for example, between 0.5 and 5%. The final drying can be carried out at any stage after bidrawing, for example, after the hollow body has been shaped. Drying means which preferably heat the surface of the coating can be advantageously used, for example, a blast of air at a high temperature for a short time or an infrared ray of determined wave length.
The coating can subsequently be improved in a variety of ways. The first improvement consists in subjecting the polyvinyl alcohol coat after bidrawing to heat treatment above 100� C., and preferably between 150� and 240� C. This can be done, for example, by blowing the hollow body in a mould, the walls of which, corresponding to the most drawn parts of the bottle, are heated to more than 100� C. and by keeping the hollow body walls in contact with the mould walls by means of fluid internal pressure. A variation consists of a post heat treatment on the outer coating of the bottle, after its removal from the mold and preferably after filling, carried out by a blast of hot gas or by an infrared ray for a short period of time. The post heat treatment at the indicated temperature interval promotes coating crystallization and the internal dehydration of polyvinyl alcohol and is particularly recommended for an alcohol with a low ester index. This result can be reinforced by incorporating small quantities of cross-linking agents, such as glyoxal or melamine-formaldehyde resins into the alcohol.
In certain cases, and especially when the bottles are to be subjected to extreme moisture conditions, it is desirable to protect the polyvinyl alcohol layer with a second coating which is less sensitive and less permeable to moisture. Coating by this second polymer can be carried out as above, either on the preform or directly on the extruded pipe, for example, by means of a moisture tight polymer latex or by encasing by a melted polymer. As examples of latex, these can all be used advantageously: latexes of polystyrene, styrene-butadiene or styrene-acrylate copolymers, vinyl polyacetate, vinylidene chloride copolymer or homopolymer. As melted polymer, we can use a polyester, which eventually will be the polyester of the substrate, or an ionomer resin, or a low density polyethylene, an ethylenevinyl acetate copolymer with low acetate content, a polyamide, a vinylidene chloride polymer or copolymer. According to a preferred production method, the coating process is carried out on the tube itself, the second coat being applied by continuous coextrusion-coating with a melted polymer. This process can be carried out, for example, with a circular drawplate coaxial to the tube coated with polyvinyl alcohol and fed by an attached extruder.
Alternately, the coating protected with a moisture tight polymer can be applied on the finished hollow body after biorientation-blowing. The classical coating techniques of coating in layers can be applied. Also, in a production method of the process of the invention, a drawable or retractable sleeve can be placed on the bottle, this operation being able to be carried out on a bottling assembly line, before or after filling. The sleeve can be produced by cutting a casing crosswise obtained either by extrusion-inflation (most common case for low density polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate, ionomer resin and acrylonitrile copolymer casings) or from a flat film which is rolled and fused or glued (case for PVC or vinylidene polychloride). The sleeve may, of course, contain various adjuvants, notably colorants and UV absorbants, and it can be transparent or opaque, patterned or not. It is not necessary for the sleeve to cover the entire bottle surface. Depending on the type, except for the bottom and neck, only the straight, cylindrical part can be protected.
The process according to the invention, in which a polyester preform which has been coated with at least one polyvinyl alcohol layer, which is then bidrawn-blown at the same time as the base polymer, produces hollow bodies which have advantageous characteristics when compared to bioriented polyester hollow bodies which are either uncoated or coated after blowing. The main advantages of the bioriented, semi-crystalline structure of the coating obtained according to the process are increased resistance to streaking due to friction, reduced risks of staining especially with high moisture, lessening of the tendency of polyvinyl alcohol to lose its gas-tightness properties in a very moist atmosphere, improved appearance and finally greater adhesion to the substrate.
The hollow bodies produced maintain the characteristics of polyester hollow bodies with regard to compressive strength, brilliancy and transparency. They have the advantage of being gas and flavor tight or impervious which allows them to be used advantageously for the bottling and preservation of food products, such as carbonated drinks and fruit juices.
Following are production examples of the invention given for illustrative and non-limitative purposes. In every example, oxygen permeability is measured in cm3-cm/cm2-s-cmHg.
A polyester tube with an outer diameter of 24.8 mm, made of glycol ethylene terephtalate with an intrinsic viscosity measured in ortho-chlorophenol of 0.82 dl/g, is extruded at the outlet of a polycondensation reactor. By means of a gear pump with a discharge pressure of 300 bars, the melted polymer is advanced through a 4 inch, 10 component static mixer (brand ROSS) equipped with a double casing for heat-carrying fluid flow regulated at 240� C., and then through a punch-drawplate assembly 30 to 40 mm in diameter. At the drawplate outlet, the extrusion product enters a Kanfman type, water cooled mandrel and is flow-coated and then drained over a vat containing an aqueous solution of 15% polyvinyl alcohol (brand RHODOVIOL 4-20 of RHONE-POULENC) maintained at 50� C., constantly resupplied and sprayed on the tube by a pump equipped with two groups of 6 nozzles arranged in a crown around the tube and spaced at 20 cm from each other. After draining, the tube passes over a crescent-shaped metallic pre-scraper with an inner diameter of 26 mm, and then through 2 circular air doctors centered on the axis of the tube, delivering warm air at 40� C. under 0.15 bar and 60� C. under 0.3 bar, respectively. The tube then goes through a one meter long radiant panel furnace which progressively raises the temperature from 60� to 105� C., and finally, it is sent into a drawing and cutting device where it is cut to 160 mm long sections. The tube sections thusly coated at the rate of 30 g/m2 with polyvinyl alcohol, the residual moisture content of which is 0.1 to 0.2%, are used to make preforms which are bidrawn-blown at 95�-115� C. into 1.5 liter bottles on a CORPOPLAST BAB 3 machine. The coating thickness in the straight cylindrical part of the bottle is 2.5μ.
On the most highly drawn part of the bottle, oxygen permeability is measured at 40� C. in air with 45% relative humidity and compared to that of a bottle manufactured from an uncoated extruded tube under the same conditions.
______________________________________According to the example 0.35 � 10-12Comparative sample 5.8 � 10-12______________________________________
The brilliancy and transparency of the coated bottle is comparable to that of the uncoated bottle.
A preform 160 mm long, with an outer diameter of 24.8 mm and a wall thickness of 2.5 mm, is injection moulded. The polymer used is a homopolymer of glycol ethylene polyterephtalate with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.8 dl/g (measured at 25� C. in solution at 1% in ortho-chlorophenol). After Corona treatment, the preform is coated by immersing it all at once for 10 seconds in a vat containing a 17% polyvinyl alcohol solution (brand RHODOVIOL 4-20 of RHONE-POULENC) maintained at 50� C. After draining, the preform is dried by passing through a double row of radiant panels, then a hot air blast at 100� C. The preform coated at the rate of 35 g/m2 is transformed into a 1.5 liter bottle by heating to approximately 90� C., drawing and blowing in a mould. The thickness of the coating is 3.5μ. After filling with a fruit drink, the bottle is passed in front of an infrared ramp raising the outer coating temperature to 190� C. for a few seconds.
Oxygen permeability at 40� C. and 45% relative humidity=0.6�10-12
Uncoated comparative sample bottle=5.6�10-12
Preforms for 1 liter bottles, made of glycol ethylene polyterephtalate with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.8 dl/g, weighing 44 g, designed for beer packaging, are injection moulded. The preforms are 160 mm long with an outer diameter of 24.8 mm; they have an inner conical part with a 1 degree slope and a neck for bottle cap INE 29.
A loading device places the preforms on conical pins. Each preform-pin assembly then moves in line toward a distributor which places them at regular intervals on a conveyor belt with a continuous travel of 5 meters/minute, driven by a serrated wheel. A belt-pulley assembly causes the preforms to rotate. The preforms pass between two rows of Corona treatment oblique electrodes. They are turned over and dipped into a stationary vat containing an aqueous solution with 15% polyvinyl alcohol (Brand RHODOVIOL 30-5 of RHONE-POULENC) and 0.5% melamine-formaldehyde resin (Brand ACCOBOND of American Cyanamid). The bath temperature is maintained at 45��5� C. The preforms are immersed at a depth of 145�2 mm. After the bath, the preforms are drained over a vat by natural gravity and by passing in front of an oblique air doctor. Then, for 1 minute, they enter a furnace consisting of a double row of radiant panels and a hot air ventilator; this allows the coating to be heated to a temperature of 100� C., while the core of the preform does not exceed 70� C. They are immediately taken and heated to 115� C. without leaving their pin, then are transferred to a blowing machine where they are bioriented at a rate of 2800 bottles/hour by blowing in a mould heated to 130� C., contact with the mould walls being maintained for 10 seconds by internal pressure.
Within 4 hours, the moisture recaptured at 20� C. and 65% relative humidity is 5%, instead of 7.8% if the melamine-formaldehyde cross-linking agent is omitted.
A practical taste test after 3 months at 20� C. shows that the organoleptic characteristics of beer bottled in this type of proofed bottle have not appreciably changed. However, there is clearly a difference in taste after 4 weeks at 20� C. with an unproofed bottle of equal thickness.
Furthermore, the beer which contained 3 volumes of CO2 at bottling time loses only 4% of this gas at the end of this time period at 20� C., as against a 12% loss for a comparison sample bottle.
At a speed of 7.50 m/min, a glycol ethylene polyterephtalate tube (homopolymer with intrinsic viscosity I.V. OCP=0.83 dl/g) with an outer diameter of 24.8 mm and a thickness of 2.6 mm, is extruded at the outlet of a polycondensation reactor, using as base materials terephtalic acid and glycol ethylene.
The extrusion drawplate is preceded by a ROSS 12 component static mixer, which progressively and homogeneously lowers the temperature of the melted product from 278��5� to 234��2� C. without crystallization. A gear pump has been inserted upstream of this mixer which allows for very good uniformity of polymer flow.
The tube, once conformed and cooled, is coated in a single pass with a 25 micron layer of polyvinyl alcohol by passing in a bath of 15% RHODOVIOL 4-20 dissolved in water, then dried by an infrared ray tunnel furnace.
Then, the coated tube goes through the hollow punch of an extrusion-coating drawplate, its circular clearance having an average diameter of 32 mm and a width of 0.5 mm. This drawplate is supplied at a right angle by a small FAIREX plastic coating machine with a 25 mm screw, with an output of 6 kg/h of glycol ethylene polyterephtalate (homopolymer with intrinsic viscosity of 0.6 to 0.7 dl/g, consisting partly of polyester wastes of (η)=0.85 recycled after grinding, without intermediate drying). The speed of polyester casing is approximately one-fifth of that of the tube. The casing is gripped by the tube and becomes adhered thereto and is stretched, producing a protective layer with an average thickness of 78 microns. Before being glued to the tube, it is maintained by a slight air depression.
After cooling by passing in a vat of cold water, the tube is cut into sections 180 mm long, which are used to make preforms for 1.5 liter bioriented bottles designed for bottling fruit drinks.
Oxygen permeability is measured after 2 months of storage at 25� C. and 60% relative humidity and it is compared with a polyester bottle manufactured under the same conditions (a) from an uncoated tube, (b) from a tube coated with a single layer of polyvinyl alcohol.

Polyester preforms (length 180 mm-weight 59 g) injection moulded from a homopolymer of glycol ethylene terephtalate with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.84 dl/g, are used. The preforms are coated with a layer of polyvinyl alcohol (RHODOVIOL 30-5) at the rate of 24 g/m2 and with a SOLVAY vinylidene chloride copolymer base protective outer layer (IXAN WA 35). This double coating is carried out continuously on a conveyor-belt machine equipped with pins on which the preforms are fitted. The preforms pass between two rows of Corona treatment electrodes which increase the critical surface tension of their outer surface from 37 to 52 dynes/cm. They then go into a first vat maintained at 45� C. containing an aqueous solution of 12% polyvinyl alcohol and 0.5% melamine-formaldehyde resin (ACCOBOND). The coating is partially dried for 5 seconds in a furnace with radiant panels and cross current hot air circulation which raises the surface temperature to 140� C.
The preforms coated with their first coat then briefly go into a short second vat containing IXAN WA 35 at 40�, the surface tension of which is 40 dynes/cm; they then go into a furnace equipped with two heating zones; in the first zone, the coating is gradually heated to 135� C. for approximately 1 minute; then in the second zone, the coating is maintained at 95� C. for 15 seconds.
At the end of the line, the coated preforms can either be ejected from their pins after cooling by air blast to be stored, or they can be immediately taken by the carrousel of a biorientation machine to be transformed into 1.5 liter capacity bottles.
These bottles are filled with a fruit soda containing 3.4 volumes of CO2, the only additive being ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The preservation time can be as long as 8 months at 25� C. or 2 years at 5� C.
1.25 liter capacity polyester bioriented bottles, with smooth cylindrical walls, for soda containing 2.8 volumes of CO2, are manufactured. These bottles are produced from threaded neck preforms injected with 50 g of polyvinyl alcohol coated on the outside as a 25 micron layer. This coat is deposited by vertical immersion up to 30 mm from the rim of the neck in a solution of 17% RHODOVIOL 4-20 in water, then dried; these operations are carried out on the continuous conveyor belt machine seen in Example 4.
The coated preforms are transformed into bottles on two Cincinnati RHB V biorientation-blowing machines, each of them with an output of 2500 bottles/hour. The bottles are taken by a bottling assembly line on which is inserted an automatic "FLIP-ON 3" machine ("POTDEVIN MACHINE Co" U.S.A.) designed for placing protective drawable sleeves having a thickness of 30μ. This machine is fed by a spool of precut, extruded-blown drawable casing made of vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer. Each sleeve is separated from the next, opened, then enlarged by drawing and placed vertically on the bottle, held for approximately 1 second under the loading head. The sleeve then slowly retracts itself and covers the coated cylindrical part of the bottle, spilling slightly over the neck and bottom.
After filled with soda, a paper label is glued to the sleeve of the bottle thusly proofed.
The soda so packaged meets the minimal requirements for 6 months preservation at room temperature.
