This is a division of application Ser. No. 07/599,610, filed Oct. 18, 1990 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,106,806.
This invention relates to high activity olefin polymerization catalysts and to a method for the production thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to a magnesium-containing, titanium-containing precursor of an olefin polymerization catalyst component and to the catalyst component and catalyst produced therefrom.
The production of polymers or copolymers of lower α-olefins, particularly ethylene and propylene, has gained substantial commercial significance. The polymeric products are inexpensive and exhibit a number of commercially useful properties. In the case of the polymerization of ethylene, the process is relatively uncomplicated in that the product type is not influenced by the manner in which the ethylene molecules add to the growing polymeric chain and the product does not exist in stereoisomeric forms.
In the case of the polymerization of propylene, however, the presence of pendant methyl groups on the polymeric chain provides the possiblity of several types of product depending on the steric regularity with which the propylene units add to the growing chain. Much if not most of the commercial polypropylene results from the stereoregular addition of propylene units in a regular head-to-tail manner. The propylene in which the addition of units is random is termed atactic. This amorphous form is less desirable and, if present in significant quantities, must be removed as by extraction in order to obtain a more desirable crystalline product.
Also significant from a commercial standpoint is the activity of the polymerization catalyst. A number of the early polymerization catalysts, e.g., trivalent titanium, chromium or vanadium catalysts, were of relatively low activity and the product contained significant proportions of catalyst residues. The removal of such residues as by a deashing step was required in order to obtain commercially acceptable properties.
The more recent olefin polymerization catalysts are more stereo-regulating and of sufficient catalytic activity so that extraction and/or deashing steps are not required. In the terms now conventionally employed for the components, the high activity olefin polymerization catalysts are formed from a procatalyst which typically contains magnesium, titanium and halide moieties as well as an electron donor, a cocatalyst which is usually an organoaluminum compound and a selectivity control agent which may be provided as a partial or total complex with the cocatalyst. Although each of these catalyst components has a considerable influence on the polymerization catalyst and process and the product thereby produced, the nature of the catalyst as well as the polyolefin product seem to be most influenced by the procatalyst. Much of the research toward improvement of the olefin polymerization catalyst has been directed toward improvemen of the procatalyst component.
Kioka et al, U.S. Pat. No. 4,330,649, describe a solid catalyst component (procatalyst) obtained by heating a soluble magnesium compound such as magnesium chloride with a higher alcohol in the presence of an ester to produce a solution which is added to titanium tetrachloride and an electron donor to form the procatalyst. Band, U.S. Pat. No. 4,472,521, reacts a magnesium alkoxide with a titanium alkoxide of 4 or more carbon atoms in each alkoxide in the presence of aromatic hydrocarbon. Titanium tetrachloride and an electron donor are added to the resulting solution to produce a solid procatalyst which is post-treated with transition metal halide. Arzoumanides, U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,679, produces a catalyst component by contacting a suspension of magnesium ethoxide in ethanol with carbon dioxide. The addition of an organoaluminum compound in a hydrocarbon to the resulting solution produces granular particles which are employed as a support for titanium upon treatment with titanium tetrachloride. Nestlerode et al, U.S. Pat. No. 4,728,705, solubilize magnesium ethoxide in ethanol with carbon dioxide and spray dry the resulting solution or alternatively use the solution to impregnate catalyst support particles. The particles resulting from either modification are useful in the production of a procatalyst of desirable morphology.
A somewhat different type of catalyst component precursor is described by Job, U.S. Pat. No. 4,710,428, wherein a magnesium compound of the general formula
Mg4 (OR)6 (ROH)10 A (I)
is formed wherein R independently is lower alkyl of up to 4 carbon atoms inclusive and A is one or more anions having a total oxidation state of -2. This complex magnesium compound is contacted with a tetravalent titanium halide, a halohydrocarbon and an electron donor to form the procatalyst. The use of such magnesium compounds has certain advantages in that they are crystalline materials of desirable morphology whereas magnesium ethoxide is not. The conversion of the crystals of such magnesium compounds to olefin polymerization procatalysts is by conventional technology. The catalysts produced from such procatalysts are good high activity olefin polymerization catalysts, particularly for the polymerization or copolymerization of propylene. It would be of advantage, however, to provide improved olefin polymerization catalysts.
The present invention provides complex magnesium-containing, titanium-containing alkoxide compounds which are useful as precursors of a component of high activity olefin polymerization catalysts. More particularly, the invention provides such complex alkoxide compounds, as well as the catalyst components and the polymerization catalysts produced therefrom. The invention also relates to a process for polymerizing olefins in the presence of such catalysts to produce polyolefin product of good properties in improved yield.
The present invention contemplates the formation of a complex magnesium-containing, titanium-containing alkoxide compound which is useful in the production of the procatalyst component of a high activity olefin polymerization catalyst. Such complex alkoxide compounds are produced by contacting a magnesium alkoxide, a titanium-alkoxide and a phenolic compound. Solutions of the complex alkoxide compound are contacted with a tetravalent titanium halide, an optional halohydrocarbon and an electron donor to form a solid olefin polymerization procatalyst. The procatalyst is in turn contacted with an organoaluminum cocatalyst and a selectivity control agent to produce the high activity olefin polymerization catalyst.
The complex alkoxide compounds of the invention are produced from magnesium alkoxide and titanium alkoxide wherein, in each of which, the alkoxide moiety has up to 4 carbon atoms inclusive. The alkoxide moieties within each reactant are the same or are different and the alkoxide moieties of one metal alkoxide are the same or are different from those of the other metal alkoxide. Although alkoxide groups such as methoxide, ethoxide, i-propoxide, n-butoxide and i-butoxide are useful, the preferred alkoxide groups of the complex alkoxide compound are ethoxide. In part for reasons of complex alkoxide compound purity and for ease of handling it is preferred that the alkoxide moieties of both the magnesium alkoxide and the titanium alkoxide all be ethoxide. The phenolic compound, characterized herein as producing an anion group X, is selected from phenol or activating group-substituted phenol whose phenolic hydroxyl group is free from steric hindrance. By the term "activating group" is meant a ring carbon atom substituent free from active hydrogens. Preferred activating groups are alkyl of up to 5 carbon atoms inclusive, e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl; alkoxy of up to 5 carbon atoms inclusive, e.g., methoxy, ethoxy or amyloxy; halo, particularly chloro; and dialkylamino wherein each alkyl has up to 5 carbon atoms inclusive such as dimethylamino. Illustrative of phenolic compounds whose anions are suitable X groups are phenol, o-cresol, p-cresol, 3-methoxyphenol, 4-dimethylaminophenol, 2,6-dimethylphenol and mixtures thereof as well as mixtures with more sterically hindered phenols such as 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-methylphenol. Of such phenolic compounds o-cresol is preferred and the preferred X anion is the o-cresylate anion.
The complex alkoxide compounds are produced by contacting the metal alkoxide reactants and the phenolic compound in an inert diluent at an elevated temperature. The stoichiometry of the complex alkoxide compound is complex, but the complex alkoxide compounds are illustrated by the formula
Mg3 Tim (OR)n Xp (II)
wherein R and X have the previously stated meanings, m has a value greater than or equal to 0.5 and equal or less than 2, p has a value greater than zero but equal to or less than 2 and n has a value of (6+4m -p). A preferred embodiment of the complex alkoxide compound is illustrated by the formula
Mg3 Ti(OR)6 X2 (IIA)
wherein R and X have the previously stated meaning. The inert diluent is preferably a hydrocarbon such as isopentane, isooctane, cyclohexane, toluene or even a kerosene fraction, or is a halohydrocarbon such as methylene chloride or chlorobenzene.
The contact of the precursors of the complex alkoxide compound takes place at an elevated temperature and a pressure sufficient to maintain the reaction mixture in a non-gaseous state. Suitable temperatures for such contacting are from about 50� C. to about 110� C. The contacting is conducted in a suitable reactor and contact is facilitated by conventional techniques such as shaking, stirring or refluxing. The stoichiometry of the contacting is not simple but sufficient magnesium alkoxide is provided so that the resulting solution of complex alkoxide compound has from about 1% by weight to about 6% by weight of magnesium. The formation of the complex alkoxide compound is illustrated by the following partial equation which employs the preferred metal ethoxides. ##STR1## wherein the relative quantities of reactants are such that x is a number from 0 to about 2, y is a number from about 3 to about 4.5 and z is a number from about 0.5 to about 1.5. The complex alkoxide compound product mixture which results is a solution whose viscosity varies from "runny" to viscous depending upon the particular diluent employed and the quantity thereof as well as the ratio of starting materials employed.
The magnesium-containing, titanium-containing complex alkoxide compound is the precursor of a solid olefin polymerization procatalyst obtained by contacting the complex alkoxide compound with a tetravalent titanium halide, an optional halohydrocarbon and an electron donor. The tetravalent titanium halide is suitably an aryloxy- or alkoxy- di- or tri-halide such as diethoxytitanium dichloride, dihexyloxytitanium dibromide, isopropoxytitanium trichloride and phenoxytitanium trichloride, or the tetravalent titanium halide is a titanium tetrahalide such as titanium tetrachloride or titanium tetrabromide. A titanium tetrahalide is preferred as the tetravalent titanium halide and particularly preferred is titanium tetrachloride.
The optional halohydrocarbon employed in the production of the olefin polymerization procatalyst is an inert halohydrocarbon of up to 12 carbon atoms inclusive. Exemplary aliphatic halohydrocarbons include methylene chloride, methylene bromide, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dibromoethane, 1,1,3-trichloropropane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, trichlorocyclohexane, dichlorofluoromethane and tetrachlorooctane. Aromatic halohydrocarbons suitably employed include chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, dichlorobenzene and chlorotolune. Of the aliphatic halohydrocarbons, carbon tetrachloride and 1,1,2-trichloroethane are preferred but particularly preferred is the aromatic halohydrocarbon chlorobenzene.
The electron donors which are suitably employed in procatalyst production are the generally conventional electron donors free from active hydrogens which are employed in olefin polymerization catalysts based on titanium including ethers, esters, ketones, amines, amides, imines, nitriles, phosphines, stibines and arsines. The preferred electron donors are esters, particularly alkyl esters of aromatic monocarboxylic and dicarboxylic acids. Examples of such electron donors include methyl benzoate, ethyl benzoate, ethyl p-ethoxybenzoate, ethyl p-methylbenzoate, diethyl phthlate, dimethyl naphthalenedicarboxylate, diisobutyl phthlate and diisopropyl terephthlate. The electron donor is a single compound or a mixture of two or more compounds but preferably the electron donor is a single compound. Of the preferred ester electron donors, ethyl benzoate and diisobutyl phthlate are particularly preferred.
The precise manner in which the procatalyst precursors are contacted is material but not critical and is generally according to known procedures. In one embodiment, the tetravalent titanium halide is added to a mixture of the electron donor and the complex alkoxide compound. Best results, however, are obtained if the electron donor is added to the complex alkoxide compound and the resulting mixture is added to a portion of the tetravalent titanium halide. Other precedures are also suitable but are less preferred. The solid product which results is washed at least once with halohydrocarbon and with tetravalent titanium halide, employed together or separately. It is often useful to include an acid halide, e.g., benzoyl chloride or phthaloyl chloride, in at least one tetravalent titanium halide/halohydrocarbon wash as is known in the art. The solid procatalyst which results is typically washed with a light hydrocarbon such as isopentane or isooctane to remove soluble titanium compounds.
In the preferred modification, the initial contacting of the electron donor and the complex alkoxide compound is conducted at a temperature from about ambient temperature to about 150� C. Better interaction of these materials is obtained if they are heated after mixing at ambient temperature. Sufficient tetravalent titanium halide is used, in combination with any acid halide provided, to convert at least a substantial proportion of the alkoxide moieties of the complex alkoxide compound to halide moieties. This conversion, conventionally referred to as halogenation, is conducted in one or more steps, each of which is conducted over a period of time ranging from several minutes to several hours. During each contacting with tetravalent titanium halide halohydrocarbon, optionally, is also present. Sufficient electron donor is provided so that the molar ratio of electron donor to the magnesium present in the procatalyst precursor is from about 0.01 to about 10, preferably from about 0.06 to about 0.4. The final washing with light hydrocarbon and subsequent drying produces a procatalyst that is solid and granular and is storage stable provided that oxygen and active hydrocarbon compounds are excluded. Alternatively, the procatalyst is used as obtained from the hydrocarbon washing without the need for drying. The procatalyst so obtained is used in the production of an olefin polymerization catalyst by contact with cocatalyst and selectivity control agent.
The cocatalyst component of the olefin polymerization catalyst is an organoaluminum compound selected from the cocatalysts conventionally employed in conjunction with titanium-based procatalysts. Illustrative organoaluminum cocatalysts are trialkylaluminum compounds, alkylaluminum alkoxide compounds and alkylaluminum halide compounds and alkylaluminum halide compounds wherein each alkyl independently has from 2 to 6 carbon atoms inclusive. The preferred organoaluminum compounds are free of halogen and particularly preferred are trialkylaluminum compounds such as triethylaluminum, triisopropylaluminum, triisobutylaluminum and diethylhexylaluminum. Triethylaluminum is a preferred trialkylaluminum. The organoaluminum cocatalyst, during formation of the olefin polymerization catalyst, is employed in a molar ratio of aluminum to titanium of the procatalyst from about 1:1 to about 150:1, but preferably in a molar ratio of from about 10:1 to about 100:1.
The selectivity control agents which are utilized in the production of olefin polymerization catalyst are those selectivity control agents conventionally provided in conjunction with titanium-based procatalysts and organoaluminum cocatalysts. Illustrative of suitable selectivity control agents are those classes of electron donors employed in procatalyst production as described above as well as organosilane compounds including alkylalkoxysilanes and arylalkoxysilanes of the formula
R'r Si(OR)4-r (III)
wherein R' independently is alkyl or aryl of up to 10 carbon atoms inclusive, R independently is alkyl of up to 4 carbon atoms inclusive and r is 1 or 2. The preferred selectivity control agents are esters of aromatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids such as ethyl p-ethoxybenzoate, diisobutyl phthalate, ethyl benzoate and ethyl p-methylbenzoate or the preferred selectivity control agents are alkylalkoxysilanes such as diethyldiethoxysilane, diisobutyldimethoxysilane, propyltrimethoxysilane or cyclohexylmethyldimethoxysilane. In one modification, the selectivity control agent is the electron donor added with the tetravalent titanium halide/halohydrocarbon washes. In an alternate modification the selectivity control agent is provided at the time of the contacting of procatalyst and cocatalyst. In either embodiment of the production of the olefin polymerization catalyst the selectivity control agent is provided in a quantity of from about 0.01 mole to about 100 moles per mole of titanium of the procatalyst. Preferred quantities of selectivity control agent are from about 0.5 mole to about 20 mole per mole of titanium of the procatalyst.
The olefin polymerization catalyst is produced by known procedures of contacting the procatalyst, the cocatalyst and the selectivity control agent. The method of contacting is not material. In one modification the catalyst components are simply mixed in a suitable reactor and the preformed catalyst thereby produced is introduced into the polymerization system. In an alternate modification, the catalyst components are introduced into the polymerization reactor where the catalyst is formed in situ.
The olefin polymerization catalyst formed from the complex alkoxide compound by way of the procatalyst is useful in the polymerization under polymerization conditions of lower α-olefins and particularly in the polymerization of straight-chain α-olefins of up to 4 carbon atoms inclusive, i.e., ethylene, propylene and 1-butene, or mixtures thereof. The precise procedures and conditions of the polymerization are broadly conventional but the olefin polymerization process, by virtue of the use therein of the polymerization catalyst formed from the complex alkoxide compound precursor, provides polyolefin product and particularly polypropylene product having a relatively high bulk density in quantities which reflect the relatively high productivity of the olefin polymerization catalyst. The polymerization product is suitably a homopolymer such as polyethylene or polypropylene, particularly polypropylene, when a single α-olefin is supplied to the polymerization process. Alternatively, the catalyst and process of the invention is useful in the production of copolymers including copolymers of propylene and ethylene such as EPR and polypropylene impact copolymer as when two or even more α-olefin monomers are supplied to the polymerization process.
Polymerization is suitably conducted in a gas-phase process employing one or more fluidized beds of catalyst or is conducted as a slurry-phase process incorporating as diluent an inert material such as propane or a liquified monomer of the polymerization such as propylene. The molecular weight of the polymer product is typically influenced by the provision of molecular hydrogen to the polymerization system as is known in the art. The polymerization process is conducted in a batchwise manner or in a semi-continuous or continuous manner with constant or intermittent addition of the catalyst or catalyst components to the polymerization reactor.
In general, the productivity of an olefin polymerization catalyst exhibits an inverse relationship with selectivity so that many highly active polymerization catalysts have a good productivity but a relatively low stereospecificity. The catalysts of the invention exhibit good productivity while retaining desirably high stereospecificity so that the polymer product obtained by the use of such catalyst has good properties without the necessity for an extraction or a deashing step.
The invention is further illustrated by the following Illustrative Embodiments which should not be regarded as limiting. In the Illustrative Embodiments, the productivity of the catalyst is determined as kg of polymer product/g of procatalyst obtained in a standard batch, slurry-phase polymerization of 1 hour, or alternatively the productivity is expressed in kg of polymer product/g Ti as determined in similar fashion. The stereospecificity of the catalyst and specifically the selectivity to isotactic product is determined by measuring the amount of xylene soluble polymer (termed XS) at ambient temperature in accordance with regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The test for xylene solubles is conducted by dissolving the polymer sample in xylene under reflux. The flask containing dissolved polymer is then immersed in a water bath at 25� C. and maintained without stirring for 1 hour, during which the insoluble portion precipitates. The precipitate is removed by filtration and the solubles content of the filtrate is determined by evaporation of an aliquot followed by drying and weighing of the residue. The xylene solubles consist primarily of amorphous (atactic) polymer and a small amount of low molecular weight crystalline polymer.
A number of olefin polymerization procatalyst precursors were prepared by contacting magnesium ethoxide, titanium tetraethoxide and o-cresol in varying proportions in various solvents and the resulting mixtures were heated at temperatures from about 50� C. to about 110� C. By way of illustration, in a 1 liter, 3-neck flask equipped with a reflux condenser, 116 g (1.01 mole) of magnesium ethoxide, 81.2 g (0.34 mole) of titanium (IV) ethoxide and 73 g (0.67 mole) of o-cresol were slurried in 276 g of isooctane. After stirring for over 1 hour at 85� C., a clear yellow, relatively non-viscous solution was obtained. This solution contained 4.5% Mg by weight. The molar ratio of cresol/magnesium/titanium was 2/3/1. Clear solutions of similar concentrations in isooctane, chlorobenzene, cyclohexane, isopentane, tetraethylorthosilicate methylene chloride, silicone soil, kerosene, toluene and ethylbenzene were prepared in a similar manner using various molar ratios of o-cresol, magnesium ethoxide and titanium ethoxide. In the Table I which follows, the molar proportions of starting materials are provided and the viscosity of several product solutions is qualitatively estimated between 1 and 5 with 1 representing a viscosity similar to water and 5 representing a viscosity similar to jelly where heating is required before the solution will easily flow. The one or more solvents employed is also listed with CB representing chlorobenzene, iC8 representing isooctane, CH representing cyclohexane and DCM representing dichloromethane.

Using the complex alkoxide compound solutions prepared according to the procedure of Illustrative Embodiment I, olefin polymerization procatalysts were produced. To produce the procatalysts, sufficient solution to provide from 30 mmol to 50 mmol of magnesium was mixed into titanium tetrachloride (150 ml) then digested for 60 minutes at 110� C. with diisobutyl phthalate present at a concentration of about 40 mmol/liter. This was followed by a 30 minute wash at 110� C. with 150 ml of a 50/50 by volume mixture of chlorobenzene and titanium tetrachloride solution containing 6 mmol/liter of phthaloyl chloride. A second 30 minute wash at 110� C. with the 50/50 by volume mixture of chlorobenzene and titanium chloride was then conducted. The resulting solid was then washed one time with isooctane at 90� C. and twice with isooctane at room temperature. The product was then dried in a nitrogen stream at 50� C.
In these preparations, several methods of mixing the complex alkoxide compound solutions of Illustrative Embodiment I with the diisobutyl phthalate and the mixture containing titanium tetrachloride were used. These methods are described as follows.
A. The diisobutyl phthalate was added to the complex alkoxide compound solution and the resulting mixture was added dropwise to 150 ml of the titanium tetrachloride digestion solvent at room temperature. The slurry which resulted was heated to 110� C. after 20 minutes then held for one hour, while stirring.
B. Same as A except that the mixture of diisobutyl phthalate and the compound of Illustrative Embodiment I solution was held overnight at room temperature before being added to the titanium tetrachloride digestion solvent.
C. Same as A except that the solution containing titanium tetrachloride was added dropwise to the mixture consisting of diisobutyl phthalate and the solution of Illustrative Embodiment I.
Each of the olefin polymerization procatalysts of Illustrative Embodiment II was converted to an olefin polymerization catalyst by contacting with triethylaluminum and diisobutyldimethoxysilane. These catalysts were then used to polymerize propylene in a conventional slurry-phase reaction using liquid propylene as diluent. The results of these polymerizations are shown in Table II along with the results from a similar polymerization using a catalyst prepared from solid magnesium ethoxide rather than a solution produced according to Illustrative Embodiment I. In Table II, the heading "Ratio" identifies the molar ratio of o-cresol, magnesium ethoxide and titanium tetraethoxide and the solvent used to produce the starting complex alkoxide compound solution (Illustrative Embodiment I). The term "Procedure" identifies the method used to produce the procatalyst (Illustrative Embodiment II), "% Ti" indicates the percent by weight of titanium in the procatalyst, "Yield" is the kg of polymer product produced per g of procatalyst in a one-hour polymerization in liquid propylene at 67� C. with the triethylaluminum cocatalyst and diisobutyldimethoxysilane as selectivity control agent, "XS" represents the xylene soluble content in percent of the polypropylene product and "BD" is the non-packed bulk density of that product in gm/cc.

... but given that it is actually faster to drive around the mountain range as it is to drive over it, and both are on the order of two hours, it should be clear that there are not really mountains in Hungary - just the start of the alps I guess. Keith wrote down some directions before we left, but within 30 minutes I abandoned them and used Google maps on my phone. We get some data free with our monthly pay-as-you-go plan and if we use it all ...
Our next stop was Eger, a lovely little village about 2 hours out of Budapest. We spent the day wandering the beautiful little streets and enjoying the tranquility and small town atmosphere. Eger is loaded with yellow cathedrals and similarly bright houses. There are also several lovely town squares jam-packed with restaurants and boutiques. Many vendors sold mulled wine and hot chocolate from ...

So he went ahead and built the Lyceum and today it houses one of the finest teacher training colleges in the country. The building houses a beautiful library containing over 60,000 books and priceless manuscripts.

Mar 05 – Homily – Fr Joachim: Even If One Should Rise From the DeadThursday, March 5th, 2015
Homily #150305n ( 04min) Play – Father comments on the words of Our Lord today, "If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead." He tells us that this was fulfilled in those who refused to believe from after the Resurrection even to our day. Of these, many respond to the teachings of Christ with hatred and scorn, and we now see various laws being put into place to criminalize the teachings of Christ and His Church. We must stand for the Truth, regardless of what it may cost us.

CNN Camerawoman: Racial Taunts Aimed At Her Could Happen Anywhere
"This situation could happen to me at the Democratic convention or standing on the street corner. Racism is a global issue," CNN camerawoman Patricia Carroll, in an interview with an institute that promotes diversity in the news media, says of the ugly racial taunts directed her way Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
As the Maynard Institute writes, Carroll was "assaulted with peanuts and called an animal by two attendees." They said to her, "this is what we feed animals," Carroll told the institute. The incident has gotten considerable attention on the Web.
Officials at the GOP convention issued a statement calling the women's actions "deplorable ... inexcusable and unacceptable." It is not known who the women were or what their connections to the convention were. They were escorted away.
The Maynard institute adds that:
"Carroll, 34, said that as an Alabama native, she was not surprised. 'This is Florida, and I'm from the Deep South,' she said. 'You come to places like this, you can count the black people on your hand. They see us doing things they don't think I should do.' "

|ESPN.com: Chicago Bears
|[Print without images]
|The Bears had no answers for Tom Brady and the Patriots' offense on Sunday.
2. We need to stop any and all Bears-Patriots comparisons: The Bears are not the Patriots. They don't draft like New England, they don't coach like New England, they don't play like New England, and they don't win like New England. I have a lot of respect for Lovie Smith and think he's done an excellent job this season, but were people actually trying to put Smith in the same category as Bill Belichick this past week? Are you serious? The Patriots, under Belichick, have 10 straight winning seasons and three Super Bowl rings -- almost four titles if not for a miraculous catch by New York's David Tyree in Super Bowl XLII. There isn't a coach in the NFL in the same category as Belichick, or an organization as well run as the Patriots. If there is such a franchise, it's not the Bears, who's last championship came 25 years ago. I'm not hating on Smith -- he never made those Belichick comparisons leading up to the game -- but to say the two men are similar in terms of success is just plain crazy. And just so we're clear -- Belichick is now 5-0 versus Mike Martz since Super Bowl XXXVI.
3. You still can't totally trust Jay Cutler: The Bears got blown out for a variety of reasons, but for the first time since the bye week, their quarterback play was poor. Cutler made a few nice throws during the game. His two interceptions, however, were awful. Please tell me again why Cutler feels the need to throw into triple-coverage? I give Cutler all the credit in the world for leading the Bears on a five-game winning streak. He was on fire the past few games, making great plays with his arm and his feet. But every so often, he goes back in the tank, and performs like he did against New England -- a 32.9 quarterback rating. Maybe Cutler bounces back and lights up the Vikings, Jets and Packers. It very well could happen. But I'd hate to see Cutler play this way in the playoffs. If he does, the Bears have no shot to win, regardless of how the defense performs. But if he plays like he did in previous weeks, the Bears certainly can advance in the NFC.
4. Smith needs to hold the secondary accountable: The worst thing the Bears could do is overreact after this game, but fair is fair, Smith ought to mix a few things up in the secondary moving forward. I think Major Wright has a bright future, but would Chris Harris have been burned on that Tom Brady pump-fake touchdown pass to Deion Branch at the end of the half? Haven't Harris and Danieal Manning done well enough to remain on the field at all times? And what about Charles Tillman? Shouldn't Zack Bowman be inserted back into the mix at cornerback? The Bears really can't do much to jump-start the lines, because let's face it, there aren't many options besides the starters. But the secondary is a different story. The lack of a pass rush didn't help the Bears in coverage, but Branch and Wes Welker were wide open for almost the entire game.
5. Brady is the MVP: Hands down. Brady is the best player in the league. The Patriots looked like they were playing in a dome - not freezing temperatures, snow and wind gusts up to 50 mph -- because the quarterback was completely un phased by the elements. Brady threw the ball like it was 90 degrees in Miami, and torched the Bears defense for 369 yards, 2 touchdowns and a 113.4 quarterback rating. The top player in the game plays for the best team in the game. Very fitting.

Paddle boarding was a great first-time experience, and the mangrove tour was a sight to see. I was not happy with the guide my friend and I had. We were the only two on the trip, but I was always way behind and didn't hear a lot of the instructions. My friend was very coordinated and had no problems. I,...
Well I'm not sure how to respond to this other than I am sorry. I think sometimes as the tour goes we feel that we become friends with the people on the tour and in our conversation to one another I may have commented on things that were not appropriate. Again we are sorry.
Visited late October 2014. My group of 4 people were all inexperienced and new to paddle boarding, and were there for my sister's birthday. We had Ben as our guide and had an absolutely fantastic couple of hours. He mentioned it would be approximately 1.5 hours but we were his last appointment and we went for 2.
We started by...
I am so glad y'all came on our tour, we had such a great time. I sure do hope to see y'all next time you are on our Beautiful Island. Thanks Ben
Ben took Conner and myself on a long tour of the Mangroves and never rushed us and we very much enjoyed out time ! enjoyed watching the jumping Mullets! The Webb family do a great job at AMI! Thank you! Nice surprise also to know that J.D.Webb is your son/Brother had no idea!
We sure did have a great time that day. Hope to see you back soon...
We hired Ben to take us on a kayak tour for our wedding anniversary. Ben lead us through mangrove tunnels and pointed out local wildlife. He had a great knowledge of the local area as well as the surrounding area.
Thank You so much for the Kind words. We hope to see you again in the future.
Ben was excellent! My husband was not able to continue paddling and Ben helped him through the whole trip. He was patient, funny and professional! Great outing for the whole family.
Thank you for your kind words.
The tour guide was nice and very informational,friendly. For the price it was worthwhile. Good for the price.i would go back with my kids and family. I would like to paddleboat next time.
Glad you had a great time. I hope to see you again.

I'm glade you had a wonderful time we look forward to seeing you again
Thanks Susan
Thanks to Ben for a great first time paddle board experience. The tour through the mangrove was both exciting and relaxing. I initially booked the tour just as something to do while on the island but I may now go out and buy a paddle board. If you like a little challenge and being out on the water, you have...
So glad you had a nice time
We just recently returned from a family vacation on Anna Maria Island. Four of us decided to take a kayak tour with AMI Paddleboards and Kayaks.

My daughter and I wanted to paddle board - but didn't have a lot of time. AMI was so helpful, and really worked with us to fit it into our schedule. We also appreciated their honest assessment of the water - the first time they told us it was too windy and we wouldn't have fun. Went the next day...

Blueberry Bush Care in Michigan
Hello, I posted this in another forum last night but have not received any responses yet so I figured i'd post it here too.
I just bought 2 blueberry bushes, one Blueray and one pink lemonade one. I have 2 questions.
I am planting them in 4 gallon pots, it says the plants can be planted outside in March in my zone, so would it be safe to plant them and immediately move the pots outside even though its currently snowing or should I wait until it warms up a bit before I move them outside? If its safe to move them outside do I have to harden them off like you do when moving regular houseplants outside in the spring? Its supposed to be in the upper 30's next week.
Both plants have leaves on them but the instructions say to cut the branches back to half length before planting. If I do that all the current leaves will be cut off, should I really trim it back that far or should I leave it so that it keeps its currently open leaves?
Thanks for the help!
If they are put in an enclosed area,the ideal temperature should be between 32-45F.They can be left outside if it doesn't get extremely cold.Snow won't hurt them.
Personally I don't prune them that much,only if there are any crossing,diseased or dead branches and usually start after five years of age.At that time,cut out about two of the oldest canes at the plant's base. Brady
So if I put them in the enclosed patio they should be fine until it starts to get warmer out? It gets down to about 20 at the lowest right now but usually stays closer to 30's at night. Usually its a few degrees warmer in the patio too since its enclosed so it retains some heat from the day. Cool, I just wont prune it now then, I really didn't want to cut all those leaves off ;)
Thanks for the response!

The young brigade actress, Alia Bhatt doesn`t really shy away from speaking her mind—a quality rightly inherited from her filmmaker father Mahesh Bhatt. What we also like about the young star is her camaraderie with most of the industry people. The actress took to micro-blogging site Twitter expressing her full support to friend Sophie Choudry, who injured herself on a dance reality show.
Former Indian pacer Sreesanth said his outburst on `Jhalak Dikhla Jaa` was due to a back injury and a bad performance during the face-off which saw him being eliminated from the dance reality show.
Film actors are going all out to promote their movies. So, actress Vidya Balan didn`t hesitate one bit when she turned up on a dance reality show posing as Kiku Sharda`s popular onscreen character Palak, recently.
Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, a doting mother to two sons - Arin and Raayan - is strict when it comes to their healthcare. She says she never lets them go to bed without brushing their teeth no matter how tired they are.
Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit says both her recent films `Dedh Ishqiya` and `Gulab Gang` may not have been money-spinners at the box-office but her job is to give her best and not compete with newcomers.
Popular TV actress Shikha Singh is likely to participate in the dance reality show `Jhalak Dikhla Jaa`.
Gauhar Khan is upbeat about winning the seventh season of `Bigg Boss` and says she plans to be herself on the show without getting involved in cheap stunts to grab the eye-balls.
Mukti Mohan, arguably one of the best dancers in showbiz, is participating in 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6' and praises the dance reality show for providing a platform to showcase her skills and learn more dance forms. She describes co-participants singer Shaan and international dancer and actress Lauren Gottlieb as her competition.
Television actor Karan Patel has entered 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6' as one of the wild card entries and praises the dance reality show for allowing people to do things that they never did before.
Four celebrities - dancer Mukti Mohan, radio jockey Mantra and actors Sana Saeed and Karan Patel - grooved their way into reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6' as wild card entries on Saturday night.
Rohit Roy, the wild card entrant in `Jhalak Dikhla Jaa`, hopes to please Remo D`souza as he believes the choreographer is hard to impress.
Suresh Menon, who became the first participant to be evicted from the sixth season of dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa', is not disappointed because he got to dance a lot within a very short span.
Siddharth Shukla`s choreographer Sonia Jaffer, who makes him move and groove on dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6', was left injured during rehearsals of their "Jhalak on wheels" special episode.
Former India skipper Krishnamachari Srikkanth is deeply saddened by the IPL spot fixing scandal.
Television actor Siddharth Shukla says he did other shows, but 'Balika Vadhu' has been a turning point in his career.
Aarti Chhabria, who will be next seen in dance reality show `Jhalak Dikhla Jaa`, has expressed her desire to be behind the camera and direct a film.
If international dancer-actress Lauren Gottlieb hopes to be seen in an action film soon a la Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, she also wants to team up with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
Shaan, known for hit numbers like "Jab se tere naina" and "Chand sifarish", is all set to display his dance prowess on the sixth season of 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa'.
Bollywood dancing diva Madhuri Dixit made her silver screen debut 28 years back with 'Abodh' and since then there has no looking back.
Isha Sharvani, who had to walk out of season five of 'Jhalak Dikhla Ja' after a nasty elbow injury, was all agile on the opening day of season two of India Resort Fashion Week (IRFW), where she danced in designer clothes.

Scott Pellet Stoves
I hear they no longer make Scott brand pellet stoves. My problem is we bought a used one not knowing this. (yes, we now know not to buy used ones either!) Until we can afford a new one we'd like to repair ours if possible. Every so often we get a puff of smoke out the back, under the hopper and it smells like burnt marshmellow. Any ideas on what causes this?
I'll bet this happens most times during start up? There is an air inlet in that area for a kit you can buy to bring in outside air. If you can, hook it up to bring in outside air. Otherwise, put an extension on it to give the stove more time to suck it back in before it disipates into the room. You might want to check the exhaust flue to make certain it is cleaned also.
Most pellet stoves are basically the same and can be repaired quite easily unless there are special parts that need to be replaced. When I say special parts, I'm referring to things like the glass door, hopper door and things specific to the contours of the stove. Augers, motors, fan motors, thermostats and the like can be interchangeable albeit sometimes some retrofitting may be necessary.
I too got a Scott Stove, used, not working and free. I also got a spare fan motor, which turned out to be the problem. Now all I need is the manual. I would like to know what the "Auger Mode" button does. I know I need to push it one to get the auger to work.
Fan and auger motors are available through Rotom.
I have a Scott Pellet Stove that leaks smoke back through the hopper whenever I open it to add more pellets. Anyone know what causes this problem? Some times there is quite a bit of smoke, and I am concerned about the hazard of smoke inhilation while we are sleeping.
P.S. The auger mode button must be pushed everytime you start the pellet stove to start the auger. That is the only function it has.
Here's another thought on the smoke issue:
Actually, a couple - is the chimney clear, and large enough. Mine is 6" and goes straight up through the ceiling and roof above. I haven't had any trouble with it smoking.
Also - 2nd thought - have you ever removed all the firebrick in the top of the firebox? Could be that ash has piled up on top of the fire brick, and may be causing a pressure build-up in the firebox, pushing smke back through the auger when it is less than full.
I'm still looking for a manual for the Scott stove, if anyone has one.
Happy New year!
Hi Gary, may i please have a manual too...thanks. firstname.lastname@example.com and i was looking at buying a used Scott stove for 150.00 the guy says it just needs a heating element, do you think its worth it and can a heating element be located? Thanks so much! Jeannie
Hello Gary. If the offer is still available I could use a manual for my scott pellet stove also. email@example.com is my e-mail. I live in Arizona and have been looking for parts to my scott pellet stove. Any suggestions? Need a fan and a blower. Thanks for your help. jparizona
