Menorca - resort recommendations
(48 Posts)Hi there, looking for some recommendations for resort suitable for family - 2 year old and 4 year old.
We went to Cala en Blanes and it was just about acceptable but no more. I would heartily recommend staying away fron Cala en Forcat - grotty hole, enormous cockroaches in the street, just grubby. We found the very edge of the strip ok though. Oh, and the beach wasn't great. And don't get me started on the whole door locks/ baby gate farce.
We prefer the Greek islands....
Sorry, didn't mean to be so negative! We had a lovely time but stayed near our apartment's fab pool rather than in the resort IYSWIM. We are used to going to smaller, quieter places on package hols where they don't do evening entertainment and definitely not bingo, ever and it was a bit of a culture shock for me, I think.
Hi, we were thinking of arsenal den castell which looks very quiet...which Greek island would u recommend. Never been with young kids....
Hi, we were thinking of arsenal den castell which looks very quiet...which Greek island would u recommend. Never been with young kids....
went to arsenal long time ago and liked it. rhodes, kefalonia, thasos, and stoupa on mainland all nice. very hot in school hols though. just steer clear of the drunken resort that most islands have.
Lourdas in Kefalonia (quietest)
Georgopolous in Crete (quiet)
Achravi in Corfu (busier)
Tsilivi in Zante (busiest)
I went to arenal del castell a couple of years ago with my kids, and the beach is lovely, nice and clean, soft sand and clear shallow water, lovely for kids. the resort is very quiet though, we stayed in an all inclusive though so just stayed there or went down to the beach.
Arenal is gorgeous, would recommend the Isla Paraiso aparthotel or Arepar apartments especially. Lovely, pretty resort, horseshoe bay, great beach and perfect for children and adults alike. We first stayed there when DS was 4.
Son Bou is also lovely, as is Cala Galdana, Playa de Fornells and Santo Tomas. Again, all have lovely beaches, they are quite "Spanish" resorts, smattering of good restaurants and a few bars.
If you would consider going independently, there are some great apartment deals on Owners Direct. www.ownersdirect.co.uk/balearic-islands-menorca.htm
I am at Springforward's experience. Don't think I have ever seen a cockroach in 10 years of holidaying in Menorca. Plenty of alien-like giant Spanish grasshoppers and wild tortoises, but no cockroaches. I would not stay in Cala'n Forcat or Cala'n Blanes either though - not my cup of tea.
The Greek Islands are lovely, but after almost being arrested for non-payment of a bar bill from a day we weren't even at our apartment, I wouldn't ever go back. Turns out the apartment owner tried this scam on with everyone, most people paid when he threatened to call the the police - not us though. Awful man.
Santo Tomas great for young kids. Very quiet with lovely beach. You can hire a car easily to get out and about.
Would also like to add that I have never, ever seen anyone playing bingo in Menorca. Lots of naked boules on the nudist part of Son Bou beach, but you have to be 85 and German to join in.
(Top tip - don't go to an AI hotel)
I would second Santo Tomas and also Cala'n'Bosch which is lovely too. The latter has two beaches, a dotto train, nice playground and a harbour around which there is a nice selection of restaurants to choose from
There is a also a nice waterpark at the Cala'n'Bosch end of the island.
Love CalaGaldana and have been a couple of times. Couple ofhotels round a lovely sandy bay.
One of my favourite places in the world.
Hi Teensy, I did a lot of research on resorts as we got cheap flights to Menorca for the end of August. We have got two young children and are going self catering so wanted somewhere very family orientated with lots of restaurants and bars nearby. We have chosen Cala n'Bosch as it ticks all the boxes for us. There are two lovely beaches nearby plus loads of restaurants and bars around a Marina. There is also a waterpark and childrens playpark with rides etc nearby and a little train. It sounds and looks lovely and on speaking to others since I've booked I've only heard positive stories about it. We've never been to menorca before but can't wait to go
This is a really good site, and will answer every question you might have about any resort on the Island.
jollymollie it is lovely
<<wishes she was going on holiday too..>>
Cala n Bosch was lovely.
Calan Blanes/forcat,yes, a few years ago was probably the most built up area, offering lots of Karaoke and bingo etc, however, most people who go to Menorca aren't really after that kind of thing, and in the last few of years there are more Spanish and Italians staying there due to it's close proximity to the beautiful old town of Ciutadella.There are now fewer bars geared up to the Brits Abroad, and each year more quality, Spanish and Catalan restaurants open. Diabolo mentions some beautiful resorts, and Jollymollie mentions Calan Bosch which is beautiful, too. Some resorts are incredibly quiet, whilst some are slightly livelier, but there is nothing like the noisy resorts you will find on the other islands or the mainland.
As for cockroaches, yes, it is a hot country, there are cockroaches! The council spray the drains regularly, to keep them under control, but there are nothing like the amount you will see in the Canaries or hotter countries.
All resorts are very family friendly, crime is almost non existent, it is beautiful , all the beaches win awards for cleanliness. Menorca is stunning!
Just wanted to add that although Calan Blanes is getting better, it is still a bit grotty, I don't like Calan Porter much either, for the same reasons. Plenty of people do, though, all down to taste or lack of...!
I'm not a fan of Calan Porter either (though the villa I rent these days is in Sant Climent which is not far away).
Only been once, about 8 years ago on the way to the Caves of Xoroi, and saw that loads of the villas had English flags flying in their gardens. I found that a bit odd, and I've not seen it anywhere else on the Island.
Yes, Diabolo, lots of Expats there!! When are you over next?
We went to Menorca 3 years in a row when our Ds were younger. Cala Galdana (enormous beach, busy in high season) Punta Prima and En Castell (both nice smaller beaches and quieter resorts.) Very famiy friendly. You'll love it.
lop37 - back in 7 weeks
Looking forward to seeing the Ferreries bypass! How sad am I?
Thanks everyone so much for your advice - I now cant decide between Arenal or Cala n Bosch! Think as our kids are so young, Arenal might be better with a couple of visits to Bosch? Need to find out how many restaurants etc in Arenal. Thanks again
Lots of restaurants in Arenal, from cheapie cafe types to gorgeous Spanish (Alcalde & Sa Gavina are fantastic). There are enough places to eat in a different one every night, but not hundreds.
There is a good one (the red one) down on the beach, but I can't for the life of me remember its name.

Football fans take the mickey out of World Cup problem gambling ad
SINGAPORE - It was an advertisement with the best intentions - to discourage people from betting their hard-earned money during the Fifa World Cup.
Created by the National Council on Problem Gambling and screened during games, the commercial features a group of boys discussing their favourite teams. At the end, a boy named Andy says crestfallenly: "I hope Germany will win. My dad bet all my savings on them."
As it turned out, what a bet it would have been.
There was more than a little irony when the clip was screened at half-time during this morning's Brazil-Germany match, when the Germans were already up 5-0.
It did not escape the attention of viewers, who saw the humour in the unfortunate scriptwriting behind poor Andy's line. Even politicians joined in the fray.
Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin had this to say on his Facebook page: "Bad timing. Looks like the boy's father who bet all his savings on Germany will be laughing all the way to the bank! 0-5 to Germany. Wow. Any guesses as to final score?"
Minister of State for Trade and Industry Teo Ser Luck posted a comment as well: "Germany beat Brazil 7-1 ! Brazil need to find out what went wrong and I need to find the script-writer for the gambling control advertisement."
Meanwhile, Twitter user Sgag_Sg said:
This boy and his dad must be happy like a bird now! Booked Europe holiday already! #WorldCup2014 #FailAd pic.twitter.com/S78wOCj7WN
— Mr. SGAG (@SGAG_SG) July 8, 2014
Now, couldn't the scriptwriter have picked another team, say England?

Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth coming to Mac this year
Sid Meier's Civilization series has sold millions of copies and inspired countless sleepless nights from addicted players. Over the course of five titles the series has allowed players to experience building the greatest empires in the history of the planet Earth. This Fall Civilization will leave the planet for the first time with Beyond Earth, a new beginning for the series. Best of all, Mac users will be getting the game at the same time as Linux and Windows.
So far only a few screen shots have been released showcasing game play, but a trailer has been posted which you can view below. Players will be able to play in the world of Civilization for the first time without the series' famous interplay between real life historical characteristics. In an interview with Polygon Lena Brenk, one of the game's producers, said they hope not being able to draw on history will expand how the game is played.
"If you think about it," Brenk said, "in Civ historically, it's similar. The player has the reference of history and [can] fill in the gaps with their imagination and what their play style looks like. They know the rough outlines. They probably are not all historians. They probably don't all know the specifics and details, but they know the rough outline of what happened with Genghis Khan or who he was.
"We're trying to provide something very similar, except here for the future, where we give rough outlines and the player fills in the gaps with their imagination because that will really be the place that they remember: the choices they made and how that impacted their playthrough.
A hard release date for the title has not been announced. We'll update you when more information becomes available. In the meantime watch the game's trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments.
Software Updates
more updates- Apple Remote Desktop updated with Yosemite support
- OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, iOS 8.1.3 updates now available
- Sports Illustrated 120 SPORTS channel comes to Apple TV
- Logic Pro X update brings AirDrop support, new effects, tools, and more
- Parallels Access 2.5 released, adds file manager, computer-to-computer remote access

Dita Von Teese has an exciting life. She was married to glorious weirdo Marilyn 'Brian' Manson for three years, which means, at least metaphorically, that she's got some massive balls. The burlesque artist – as is her trademark - probably had a martini for breakfast. The FHM writing team had a cup of tea, two bowels of porridge, a Petit Filous, two bananas and an apple. Between four of us. Oh, the shame.
Von Teese, now 37, was swept away in the arms of platinum-blonde billionaire Richard Branson to celebrate Virgin Airways' 10th anniversary of flying non-stop between London and Las Vegas. She was wearing high heels, a red corset, fishnet stockings and a cape. The one-time Playboy cover star said: "I've never actually walked on the wing of an airplane before," as if walking on the wing of an aeroplane was something as casually achievable as having a filling or going to Alton Towers.
Dita Von Teese demonstrating the angle at which a Virgin Atlantic aeroplane would almost certainly fall out of the sky:

The monument to Brigadier General John Gibbon is south of Gettysburg on Hancock Avenue. (39.81102° N, 77.2354° W; map) A monument to General Gibbon and four other Pennsylvania generals was originally proposed in the early 1900's. While monuments to Humphreys, Hays, and Geary were placed, Crawford's and Gibbon's were not. In the 1980's a movement began to create a monument to Gibbon on his most famous battlefield. Sculptor Terry Jones created the statue that was dedicated on July 3, 1988, the 125th anniversary of the battle. From the tablets on the front of the monument: Gibbon

As for killing sex drive, they can do that but it's not likely given the low doses that one typically finds being used by those with SA. I can tell you that it certainly does impact that issue, but then I take 10 mg of Xanax daily. And decreased libido and other sexual problems are documented in clinical trial data, so it's real. It's just not likely as the percentage effected is low and generally limited to those who have to take large amounts.

I'm not all that impressed by Xanax and I've probably taken more than just about anybody else here. Of course, none of the benzos impress me.

I barely noticed that 10mg, and it was at a large family gathering, and nobody else noticed it either, although I did end up having a good time. Even at such a high dose, I found it to be incredibly subtle, and yet, a lot of people say they'd be drooling or practically comatose at even HALF that dose! I don't get why there seems to be such a huge variability in people's responses to benzos. Is it mostly genetic? Or are our expectations just different? I had been using a lot of strong opiates (and some LSD and ketamine) before then, and I guess with everything I'd heard about benzos I was somewhat expecting a more overt experience. But even with the clonazepam I take these days, I find absolutely no consistency in its effects, even with the exact same dose. I wish I had a good explanation WHY... doctors seem to expect us to all respond the same to these meds, especially the "addicting" ones. If for some reason the dose they're giving is to weak for me, they often think I'm just drug-seeking. Not too long ago I was in the ER and the refused to give me adequate pain relief FOR A KIDNEY STONE because what they originally decided to give me turned out to not be enough. :/ |

Hi Made a KilKenny-esqu clone with 3 Litres of Pale LME, 500 Grams Crystal Malt, 100 grams Chocolate. Used a WL004 (english Ale) Liquid Yeast vile. MY OG was 1070, FG was 1016. I know this is too high for the style, I'm now thinking I had too much LME/Crystal Malt combo. Any thougths? Thanks Jay
Does it taste good? If it does, and you're not meaning to enter it into a competition than just go with it. You could always water it down, but who wants to do that?
definitely missed the mark on the clone, but it still should be a fine beer. except for the "vile" yeast. j/k let us know how it tastes once it's been bottled a few weeks.

Description This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/404,656, filed Sep. 8, 1989, which was abandoned upon the filing hereof. The invention relates to a pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesive (PSA) that has excellent UV stability and resistance to plasticizer migration. The PSA of this invention can be used in common pressure sensitive applications and provides maximum benefit in areas where the PSA is exposed to sunlight, UV light, or when applied to plasticized surfaces. Hot melt PSA's have been used to bond a variety of materials to many substrates. A pressure-sensitive adhesive is an adhesive that retains high surface tackiness over time. In other words, a PSA has a theoretically infinite open time. The bonding force of the PSA is derived from the ability of the adhesive to be compatible with the surface of both the substrate and the bonded materials. The adhesive bond arises from the compatibility of the adhesive mass with both the object and the substrate and the internal cohesiveness of the adhesive mass. Any change in the nature of the adhesive materials can have a large effect on bond strength and the cohesiveness of the adhesive. Any substantial degradation of the adhesive materials can cause loss of bond strength. Further, adhesive bond strength is reduced by contamination of the adhesive material or interference between surfaces at the interface between the adhesive bond and the adjacent surface. We have found that the degradation of the adhesive mass and the resulting bond can be caused by electromagnetic radiation such as visible and ultraviolet light. The radiation degrades the polymer species in the adhesive, increases brittleness or substantially lowers molecular weight. Further, the contamination of the adhesive mass by plasticizer migrating from an adjacent surface of a plasticized object can cause substantial adhesive bond reduction. Plasticizers are used to alter the glass transition temperature of the polymer used in the adhesive which can enhance adhesive compatibility with surfaces. The glass transition temperature (Tg) is a temperature below which free rotation of the polymer ceases due to intramolecular energy barriers. Well-plasticized adhesives retain a solid physical nature while having significant flexibility and surface compatibility. There are generally two types of plasticization. A polymer may be "internally plasticized" or "externally plasticized." An internally-plasticized polymer is plasticized using copolymerized monomers. The plasticizing comonomer lowers the overall Tg and plasticizes the polymer. External plasticizers are added to a polymer to form a plasticized mixture of polymer and plasticizer. Vinyl resin materials are often heavily plasticized to improve manufacture and use properties. Plasticizers are intimately mixed with the vinyl plastic material. After a period of time under heat or other driving force, plasticizers can physically separate from the vinyl plastic. Both volatile and non-volatile plasticizers can physically migrate from the vinyl material to an adjacent compatible layer. The migration occurs wherein the adhesive system is in contact with a vinyl plastic. The vinyl plasticizer, which is often soluble or compatible with the adhesive, can migrate into the adhesive mass. Hot melt adhesives are thermoplastic materials that can be applied in melt form, typically free of an aqueous or organic solvent, that when cooled can form a solid bond line. Upon contact with the substrate, the hot melt adhesives can cool, solidify, and form a strong bond between an object and a substrate surface. Hot melt adhesives can be pressure-sensitive depending upon formulation. Organic molecules that make up the hot melt PSA material can contain groups or bonds which absorb electromagnetic radiation, such as UV light. The energy from the radiation can cause oxidation, further polymerization, depolymerization, crosslinking, and a variety of other reactions. Such reaction in the base polymer or adhesive additive can substantially change the properties of the adhesive mass. The adhesive can lose flexibility, can lose cohesiveness, can have reduced adhesive bond strength, etc. While this UV degradation problem has attracted a great deal of attention, no fully-satisfactory material has been found for use in application subject to exposure to sunlight or other sources of copious amounts of UV light. Further problems result from plasticizer contamination. Plasticizer present in a typically resinous substrate can migrate from the substrate into the adhesive layer. This migration can be promoted by heat, chemical concentration gradients, relative compatibility or solubility, and environmental conditions. Over time, as the plasticizer migrates into the adhesive, slowly increasing in concentration, the adhesive polymer base becomes diluted, resulting in a weakened adhesive. Thus, there is a need for an adhesive which resists the migration of the plasticizer. Hattori et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,734,447, discloses an improved hot melt adhesive composition comprising a styrene block copolymer resin, a tackifier, and a room temperature solid polybutene having a molecular weight greater than 1,000,000. The solid polybutene recited in the Hattori patent is reacted within an organic peroxide, for example, benzyl peroxide, to cleave the polybutene molecule. The Hattori material is not a true pressure-sensitive adhesive since it loses open time after application. We are aware that PSA's have been formulated with an ABA block copolymer, a tackifying resin, and an oil plasticizer. These adhesive systems can be subject to both UV and plasticizer migration problems. Similar compositions using an unmodified polybutene plasticizer can have plasticizer stability without UV resistance. Similarly, PSA's with an ABA block copolymer, with no plasticizer, blended with liquid resins can be made UV stable but generally lack plasticizer stability. Lastly, for many years, solvent-based adhesives comprising a major proportion of an organic solvent, typically vinyl polymers and additional adhesive components, have been applied to a variety of substrates for the purpose of displaying PSA properties in adhering the substrate to objects and other substrates. Such solvent-based adhesives suffer the severe disadvantage that many solvents are flammable or objectionable due to toxic or other undesirable effects on workers. Suitable replacements for solvent-based adhesives have been an object of search for many years. Accordingly, a significant need exists for a hot melt PSA composition which combines, in a single composition, excellent UV stability, resistance to plasticizer migration, and can be used as a substitute for solution-acrylic (solvent-based) and emulsion-acrylic (aqueous-based) adhesives which have long dominated many adhesive applications and uses, including adherent tape, adhesive film, PSA labels, and others. We have now found that a pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesive can be prepared from environmentally-stable, substantially saturated ingredients comprising thermoplastic resin, a hydrocarbon resin, and an end-capped polybutene. The PSA material of the invention can be formulated to be stable under ultraviolet light and in the presence of plasticizer while having sufficient strength to bond a variety of substrates. The adhesive composition comprises: a) about 1-75 wt-% of a substantially saturated thermoplastic resin having a molecular weight up to about 200,000; b) about 1-75 wt-% of a tackifying resin; c) about 10-50 wt-% of an end-capped polybutene plasticizer, having a molecular weight less than about 5,000; and d) optionally, an effective amount of a thermal stabilizer or a UV light absorber. The adhesive can contain a blend of about 0.001-1 wt-% of UV light absorber and about 0.001-1 wt-% of antioxidant composition or thermal stabilizer composition. Briefly, the hot melt adhesive of the invention comprises a substantially saturated thermoplastic resin or polymer, a tackifying resin, and an end-capped viscous liquid polybutene (M.W. less than 5,000) plasticizer. These ingredients cooperate to resist UV induced reaction, depolymerization, or degradation and to prevent plasticizer migration from any surface contacted by the adhesive. The adhesive can comprise an effective blend of UV light absorbers, antioxidants and thermal stabilizers, found to provide unique and significant levels of thermal and UV stability to the adhesive material. Thermoplastic polymers used in the adhesive compositions of the invention provide cohesive strength to the final adhesive material and provide a medium for dissolution or suspension of the balance of the adhesive ingredients. In this way, the thermoplastic polymer tends to act as a vehicle exhibiting the properties provided by the adhesive components and cooperates with the adhesive components to provide the final adhesive properties. Thermoplastic polymers that can be used in the invention include substantially saturated polymeric compositions having a glass transition temperature of about -90� to 100� C., and a molecular weight up to about 200,000. There are many useful thermoplastic polymers which may be used. Among the polymers envisioned for the present invention are vinyl polymers, polyesters, polyethers, etc. The preferred class of polymers for use in the invention comprises substantially saturated rubbery block copolymers derived from vinyl aromatic monomers including styrene and others, and rubbery monomers such as butylene, ethylene, isobutylene, butadiene, isoprene, and others. In block polymers with some unsaturation, the material can be hydrogenated to reduce or eliminate unsaturation. Such polymeric and copolymeric compositions include butadiene-styrene block copolymers, isoprene-styrene block copolymers, styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymers, styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers, styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers, and others. Both diblock AB and ABA block copolymers may be used. In the formula, A represents a polystyrene block, while B represents a substantially saturated midblock. These block copolymers have 10 to 40 wt-%, most preferably, 15 to 35 wt-% styrene and a molecular weight of the entire polymer, at least preferably 50,000 to 70,000. Another particularly preferred class of monomers include the acrylic class made from monomers such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, methacrylate, methylmethacrylate, hydroxyacrylate, and hydroxyacrylmethacrylate, which can be formed in combination with other vinyl monomers including ethylene, styrene, propylene, vinyl chloride and others. The molecular weight and the crosslinking extent of these polymers are selected such that the polymer can be easily handled in the molten form and possess a viscosity such that it can be processed in common hot melt adhesive-formulating equipment. Plasticizers are generally classified as materials that can be incorporated into another material to increase its workability, flexibility, or distensibility. They can also cooperate with the thermoplastic resin to enhance the tackifying effect of the tackifying resin. The addition of a plasticizer can lower melt viscosity, the temperature of the second glass transition point, or the elastic modulus of the treated material. A polybutene polymer comprises a polymer resulting from the polymerization of major proportions of a monomer selected from the group consisting of 1-butene,2-butene, isobutylene (2-methyl-propene), butadiene, or mixtures thereof. Such polymers are typically viscous liquids having a viscosity of at least 50 cST at 33� C., preferably from 60 to about 950 cST at 99� C., and a molecular weight at least 300 to about 5,000, and preferably from about 360 to about 1500. The preferred polybutene polymers of the invention, that can be end-capped for use in the adhesive, can have a viscosity of about 800 to about 950 cST at 99� C., and a molecular weight of about 1300 to 1500 and have residual terminal unsaturation. End-capped polybutenes can be utilized in the adhesive composition of the present invention in an amount of about 10-50 wt-%, about 20 to 40 wt-%, preferably 25 to 35 wt-%. The end-capping of the polybutene removes residual unsaturation to increase stability. The end-capped polybutenes act both as a plasticizer for the adhesive and act to modify the nature of the adhesive to prevent a plasticizer residing in an adjacent layer from migrating from the substrate or from the surrounding environment into the adhesive layer. Further, the stabilized end-capped polybutene cooperates with the other adhesive components to prevent thermal and UV degradation. End-capping reagents react with and remove residual unsaturation typically found at a terminus of the polymer molecule. Some of the possible end-caps for the polybutene which are envisioned with the present invention include end-caps resulting from a reaction between the vinyl or ethylenically-unsaturated group and an epoxidation reagent that can create a terminal oxirane ring at the site of unsaturation in the polymer, a hydrogenating reagent, an electrophilic reagent, an alcohol or alcoholate reagent, a phosphorus halide or phosphorous sulfide compound, an alpha-beta unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acid or anhydride, a phenol or phenate reagent, a source of halogen or halide, an alkylating agent, etc. Although not wishing to be held by any theory, it appears that the particular end-cap to be used for the polybutene is not important, but rather, that the polybutene itself is end-capped. Thus, any end-capping material that reacts with polybutene may be used. The end-capping reaction is conducted by contacting the polymer with an active end-capping reagent that can react with unsaturation in the terminal unsaturated group or other residual unsaturation in the polymer molecule. The reaction results in the elimination of the terminal or residual unsaturation from the polymer resulting in bonding of lesser reactivity or UV absorbance character. Virtually any material reactive with such unsaturation can be useful in end-capping the polybutene polymer. The end-capping reagent is typically added to the neat polymer and is uniformly distributed into the polymer for reaction. Reaction is typically promoted using heat and catalyst, if necessary. Typical temperatures for reaction between the end-capping reagent and the terminal unsaturation of the polybutene polymer comprises from about 50� C. to about 220� C., preferably about 100�-200� C., for a period of time of about 10 to 240 minutes. The terminal unsaturation of polybutene polymers can be reacted with a variety of end-capping reagents, including the following examples. Halogen reactants can be used to end-cap the materials. Halogen such as Cl2, F2, Br2, I2, can add across the double bond, forming saturated di-halo compounds. The terminal unsaturation of the polybutene can be hydrogenated with H2 and other hydrogen-yielding compounds in the presence of typically-metallic catalysts to remove the terminal unsaturation, producing a fully-saturated hydrocarbon. A variety of electrophilic reagents can add to the double-bond. For example, hypohalous acids can add across the double bond creating a halogen group and a hydroxyl as saturated carbons. A variety of acidic groups can add across the double bond providing a hydrogen atom and an acidic substituent. For example, hydrochloric acid can add across a double bond resulting in a hydrogen and a chloride substituent as saturated carbons. Water is known to add across the double bond forming an alcoholic substituent as saturated carbons. The terminal unsaturation of a polybutene material can be oxidized introducing a peroxy oxirane ring into the terminal unsaturation of the polyisobutylene. A variety of epoxidizing reagents are known to produce such a reaction. The terminal unsaturation of the polybutene can be epoxidized using common agents, including per acids such as perbenzoic acid, chloroperbenzoic acid, peroxyacetic acid, triflouroperacetic acid, etc. Under basic conditions, hydrogen peroxide and t-butyl hydroperoxide can be used. The preferred plasticizer is an end-capped polyisobutylene plasticizer comprising polymerized isobutylene (2-methyl-propene) in conjunction with small proportions (less than 10.0 wt-%) of other C4 monomers such as 1-butene, 2-butene, and butadiene. The idealized structure of non-capped polyisobutylene is as follows: ##STR1## The percentage of end-cap may vary but, preferably it is within the range of 10 to 90 wt-%, preferably 10 to 50 wt-%. However, the range may be larger, depending on the application. We have found that the preferred end-capping reaction for use in producing a migration-free adhesive comprises an epoxidation of terminal unsaturation group producing a terminal epoxy or oxirane group, ##STR2## The adhesives of the invention contain a tackifying resin in combination with the substantially thermoplastics mentioned above. Tackifying resins useful in the adhesive of the invention comprise substantially saturated hydrocarbon tackifying resins. The preferred tackifying resins useful in the adhesive compositions can be saturated hydrocarbon resins, hydrogenated synthetic polyterpenes, natural hydrogenated terpenes, and the like. The tackifying agents comprise copolymers and terpolymers of natural terpenes, e.g., styrene/terpene and alphamethyl styrene/terpene; polyterpene resins having a softening point, as determined by ASTM Method 828-58T of from about 80� to 150� C.; the polyterpene resins generally resulting from the polymerization of terpene hydrocarbons such as the bicyclic monoterpene known as pinene, in the presence of Friedel-Crafts catalysts at moderately low temperatures; also included are the hydrogenated terpene resins; phenolic modified hydrogenated polyterpene resins and hydrogenated derivatives thereof, such as, for example, the resin product resulting from the condensation, in an acidic medium of a bicyclic terpene and a phenol; aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins having a ball and ring-softening point of from about 70� to 135� C.; and the resins resulting from the polymerization of monomers consisting primarily of olefins and diolefins; also included are the hydrogenated aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins; aromatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins and hydrogenated derivatives thereof; and alicyclic petroleum hydrocarbon resins and hydrogenated derivatives thereof. Mixtures of two or more of the above-described tackifying resins may be required for some formulations. Aromatic monomers useful in forming aliphatic-aromatic resin compositions of this invention can be prepared from any monomer containing substantial aromatic qualities and a polymerizable unsaturated group. Typical examples of such aromatic monomers include the styrenic monomers, styrene, alphamethylstyrene, vinyl toluene, methoxystyrene, tertiary butyl styrene, chlorostyrene, etc., indene monomers including indene, methyl indene, and others. Aliphatic monomers are typical, natural, and synthetic terpenes which contain C5 and C6 cyclohexyl or cyclopentyl saturated groups that can additionally contain a variety of substantial, automatically-linked substituents. Aliphatic tackifying resins can be made by polymerizing a feedstream containing sufficient aliphatic monomers such that the resulting resin exhibits aliphatic characteristics. Such feedstreams can contain other aliphatic unsaturated monomers such as 1,3-butadiene, 1,3 pentadiene, trans-1,3 pentadiene, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl-2-butene, cyclopentadiene, dicylcopentadiene, terpene monomers, and others. Mixed aliphatic-aromatic resins contain sufficient aromatic monomers and sufficient aliphatic monomers and optionally other C3 -C8 unsaturated monomers to produce a resin having both aliphatic and aromatic character. The article by Davis, The Chemistry of C5 Resins, discusses synthetic C5 resin technology. Such materials, containing residual unsaturation can be treated chemically or hydrogenated to reduce residual unsaturation, if necessary. Representative examples of such aliphatic resins include hydrogenated synthetic C9 resins, synthetic branched and unbranched C5 resins, and mixtures thereof. Representative examples of such aromatic tackifying resins include styrenated terpene resins, styrenated C5 resins, and mixtures thereof. UV absorbers can be included in the adhesive composition to absorb the harmful portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between 300 and 400 nm. An effective UV absorber dissipates energy absorbed through conjugated bond structures, by transferring the energy to surroundings by heat or by reemitting it as longer wavelengths through phosphorescence, fluorescence, or infrared radiation. Among the possible UV absorbers are 2-(hydroxyphenyl)-benzotriazole, 2-hydroxybenzophenone, alkyl-2-cyano-3-phenylcinnamate, phenylsalicylate, and 1,3,5-Tris(2'-hydroxyphenyl)triazine. The preferred UV absorbers for the present invention are substituted and unsubstituted benzyltriazole, shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,004,896. The hot melt adhesives of the present invention may also incorporate relatively small amounts of adjuvants such as antioxidants. Typically antioxidants include the Irganox� series (Ciba-Geigy) and distearyl pentaerythritol disphosphate compounds (Weston� 619, Borg-Warner Chemicals). When present, such adjuvants will commonly make up less than 5 wt-% of the present adhesive. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, 0 to 5 wt-% of an antioxidant is used, however, it may exceed 5 wt-%. The preferred composition comprises 0.2 wt-% of Irganox� 1010 and 0.2 wt-% of Irganox� 1076, both available from Ciba-Geigy. Thermal stabilizers are included in the present invention to prevent thermal degradation which occurs during the manufacturing and application of the hot melt adhesive. The result of such degradation is, among other things, loss of adhesive properties. Possible stabilizers envisioned for the present adhesive include hindered amines and phenols. The definition of a hindered amine or phenol is an amine or phenol compound with a sterically-hindering group or radical located in close proximity to the amine or phenolic compound. The presence of these bulky groups prevents the stretching frequency and the reactivity of the phenolic or amine compound. Among the preferred compounds of the present invention are hindered amine compounds shown in U.S Pat. No. 3,640,928, Tinuvin 770 and Tinuvin 325, available from Ciba-Geigy. In the preferred embodiment, a range of 0.001 to 5 wt-% of UV absorber or 0.001 to 5 wt-% of a thermal stabilizer, or mixtures thereof, can be used. In the most preferred embodiment, 0.1 wt-% Tinuvin 770 and 0.1 wt-% Tinuvin 325 are used. In the preferred embodiment, about 0.01 to 2 wt-% of each can be used. The preferred stabilizer material is about 0.1 to 2 wt-% of a blend of UV absorber and stabilizer mixed at a ratio of about 0.1 to 10:1, present in the amount of 0.1 wt-% each.

The adhesives of this invention are applied to substrates, e.g., metal foils, cellulosics, fluorocarbon sheets, polyesters, metallized polyester, polyethylene foamed polystyrene or polypropylene sheets, or any other substrates which can utilize a hot melt adhesive. The adhesives of the invention can be used to make adherent articles by applying to at least one surface of a sheet-like material a thin film of the adhesive. The adherent articles can be labels, tapes, structural members, etc. Application of an adhesive to the sheet-like substrate may be by roller, dip plus doctor blade, printed dots, extrusion application wheels, or other similar, well-known apparatus. The following examples illustrate a method of manufacturing the adhesives within the scope of the invention and include a best mode. The following amounts of the materials were added to a mixing vessel according to the procedure below. ______________________________________Material Common Name Amount______________________________________KRATON G-1726 SEBS Linear Rubber 30.0%(Shell Chemical) 70% diblockACTIPOL An epoxidized (end-capped) 34.4%(Amoco) polybutene plasticizer (M.W.* 900-1400)REGAL REZ 1094 A fully hydrogenated 35.0%(Hercules) hydrocarbon resinIRGANOX 1010 Antioxidant/thermal 0.2%(Ciba-Geigy) stabilizerIRGANOX 1076 Antioxidant/thermal 0.2%(Ciba-Geigy) stabilizerTINUVIN 770 Benzotriazole UV absorber 0.1%(Ciba-Geigy)TINUVIN 325 A hindered amine UV absorber 0.1%(Ciba-Geigy)______________________________________ *Number Average Into a heated SIGMA blade mixer is placed 17.5 parts of the tackifying resin with a 94� C. softening point (REGAL REZ 1094) and 30 parts of the diblock polymer with the antioxidant blend.

Big 12 M5: 01.19.15 Edition
Posted by Nate Kotisso on January 19th, 2015- If you check to see who sits atop the Big 12 standings today, you'll probably think there must be some mistake. But no, that is indeed Kansas State, winners of their last four after hanging on against Baylor, leading the league with a 4-1 record. While this start to their conference schedule is welcomed, we can't ignore the fact that the Wildcats are returning seven of their top nine rotation players from last season. The problem is it's January 18 and they have no margin of error. Their next four games to end January are as follows: at Iowa State, vs Oklahoma State, vs West Virginia and at Kansas. If they finish the month undefeated, their at-large status will improve. Personally, I'd like to see it all in the name of chaos.
- Saturday was a monumental day in the history of TCU basketball. Not only did they end a 23-game Big 12 losing streak which dated back to March 2013 but it was also their first ever road win in Big 12 play. As our Brian Goodman pointed out, winning a road conference game can do wonders for your KenPom profile. It's little milestones like these that can change an entire culture around a program in so many ways. Eventually we'll reach a point in the future when TCU puts together a winning streak in the Big 12 or contend for the NCAA Tournament without any of us batting an eye at the accomplishment. Someday soon.
- The most entertaining game of the weekend was undoubtedly Kansas-Iowa State on Saturday night. The Jayhawks were always a few possessions away from taking the lead away from the Cyclones but anytime KU strung baskets together, ISU was able to come back on the next possession and beat defenders down the floor for transition buckets. After being called out during the week by Bill Self, Perry Ellis answered the bell early but was unable to take the game over due to foul trouble and Frank Mason was perhaps even better than Ellis all game long. But Monte Morris did a little bit of everything (11 points, seven rebounds, three steals) while he continued his ungodly assist-to-turnover pace by piling on 10 dimes with just two turnovers. Can the Big 12 Tournament final get here already?
- Musiq Soulchild released the single "B.U.D.D.Y." from his album Luvanmusiq eight years ago this month. Were you aware that the song was dedicated to Oklahoma guard Buddy Hield? Well, it wasn't but it would've made for a fascinating story! Had this had been true and he did learn the song was dedicated to him before tipoff of #Bedlam, it would have been clear what inspired Hield to go 10-for-10 from the floor including 6-for-6 from three in the Sooners' drubbing of Oklahoma State. In any case, Hield was stellar once again and OU gets revenge for their football team's loss to the Cowboys last month.
- Jonathan Holmes summed up best Texas' mindset going into Saturday's game vs the Mountaineers, I think: "West Virginia wanted to come out and punk us, and we couldn't let that happen." And so, the Horns, who would have been the original punkees, instead became the punkers and made West Virginia the punkees following an 18-2 Texas run in the first half. Halfway through the second half, the Mountaineers were all punked out and the Horns ran away with the game. Holmes struggled shooting but was able to put his head down, drive to the basket, draw fouls and make 11-for-12 from the free throw line while also grabbing 11 rebounds. What lies ahead for UT is a game against TCU tonight in Fort Worth. Someone's one-game winning streak will sadly come to an end.
