This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 06/947,663, filed Dec. 30, 1986, now abandoned.
This invention relates to reinforced thermoplastic polyester compositions which have improved processability and physical properties as molded articles. More particularly, it pertains to compositions comprising crystallizable polyester resins comprising poly(ethylene terephthalate) PET, optionally poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) PBT and reinforcing material using an amorphous or semi-crystalline thermoplastic for the improving modifier. After molding, the compositions exhibit excellent resistance to warp even when significant amounts of reinforcing glass filaments are present.
Reinforced thermoplastic compositions of highly crystalline polyester resins have been described, inter alia, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,115,333; 4,125,571; 4,215,032 and 4,425,457. They exhibit considerable tendency to warp, and efforts to reduce warp by adding modifiers, tend to reduce surface appearance, as measured by gloss.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,115,333, Phipps et al. disclose such reinforced compositions comprising a poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) resin and a second resin of polycarbonate, glass fibers and a small amount of zinc stearate to improve warp resistance. Although the compositions in the '333 patent are eminently suitable for many uses as molded articles, good warp values as measured on a 4 inch�1/16 inch thick disk after 30 minutes at 350� F. are only obtained when a second resin, polycarbonate is used. See, e.g., Example 2A. Gloss is not too good, either.
Scott et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,125,571, describe thermoplastic molding compositions consisting essentially of a combination of polyesters, e.g., PBT and poly(1,4-cyclohexane -dimethanolterephthalate-co-isophthalate), and reinforcing filler of glass and mica. Good warp values are also obtained by Scott et al.'s molding compositions but these were subject to much greater variability with higher contents of glass and lower contents of PBT, i.e., replacement by poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol terephthalate-co-isophthalate). Gloss was not as high as desirable, either.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,032, Kobayashi et al. describe polyester compositions for molding materials composed of solid PET, an organic crystallization promoter, e.g., glycidyl ether of a polyalkylene glycol, and glass fibers. The PET compositions in this patent are not, however, particularly resistant to warpage under heat stress.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,425,457, Christiansen et al. disclose PET resin compositions containing reinforcing filler of glass fibers and nucleating agents of monovalent metal salts. These compositions are not shown to have superior physical properties such as impact strength or resistance to warpage. Gloss was not optimum here either.
It would be useful to incorporate into these thermoplastic polyester materials a thermoplastic elastomer to impart high surface gloss and better resistance to warp. It would be helpful also to improve impact resistance, moldability, colorability, compatibility and the like. Resistance to warp is particularly critical when using high glass contents in thermoplastic compositions which, as the prior art has shown, tend to decrease such resistance.
Unexpectedly, it has now been discovered that such objects can be achieved by using an amorphous or semi-crystalline thermoplastic. These can be incorporated into reinforced PET or PET/PBT molding compositions so as to improve surface gloss and resistance to warp on exposure to heat, while at the same time imparting toughness and strength. Articles molded from such compositions are useful in many applications including under-hood automotive applications, electrical connectors, appliance bases and power tool housings.
Provided in accordance with the present invention is an improved polyester resin molding composition exhibiting improved gloss and resistance to warping comprising, in physical admixture,
(a) a crystalline polyester or copolyester resin, alone, or in combination with
(b) a second crystalline polyester resin, and
(c) an effective amount of a reinforcing agent, the improvement comprising said composition containing at least one
(d) modifier selected from an amorphous or semicrystalline thermoplastic selected from a poly(methyl methacrylate) or copolymer thereof, a copolyether-polyester, a polyetherimide ester, or a mixture of any of the foregoing, in an amount effective to improve the gloss and reduce the warp of articles molded from said polyester resin.
Contemplated, in accordance with this invention are the compositions above further defined wherein component (a) comprises poly(ethylene terephthalate) in an amount of from about 40 to about 80 parts by weight; component (c) comprises an amount of from about 10 to about 50 parts by weight; and component (d) comprises an amount of from about 1 to about 30 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of (a), (c) and (d) combined.
Also contemplated by the invention herein are compositions as defined above wherein component (a) comprises poly(ethylene terephthalate) in an amount of from about 40 to about 80 parts by weight; component (b) comprises poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) in an amount of from about 10 to about 40 parts by weight; component (c) comprises glass fibers and mica in admixture in an amount of from about 10 to about 50 parts by weight, and component (d) comprises an amorphous co-polyetherimide ester in an amount of from 1 to about 30 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of (a), (b), (c) and (d) combined.
The crystallizable polyester resins useful to prepare the compositions of this invention are available commercially, e.g., Vituf� 6200 (PET), Goodyear Company or they can be prepared by known techniques such as by the alcoholysis of esters of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol or butanediol and subsequent polymerization, by heating the glycols with the free acids or with halide derivatives thereof and similar processes. These are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,465,319 and 3,047,539 and elsewhere.
Preferably suitable as the crystallizable polyester resins of component (a) are poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) resins. Such polymeric linear terephthalic esters are composed of recurring structural units of the formula: ##STR1## Such polymers can be made following the teachings of the aforementioned patents, U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,465,319 and 3,047,539.
Also suitable, optionally, as the crystalline polyester resins of component (b) are poly(1,4-butylene terephthalate) PBT resins in combination with the poly(ethylene terephthalate) resins above described. PBT resins are likewise well-known, are commercially available from a number of sources and have been widely employed for the production of thermoplastic molded articles.
Generally these high molecular weight polyesters will have an intrinsic viscosity of at least about 0.4 deciliters/gram and preferably, at least 0.7 deciliters/gram as measured in 60:40 phenol/tetrachloroethane mixture at 30� C.
The resinous polyester components can vary widely in amount. Preferably, when employed as the sole polyester, the poly(ethylene terephthalate) PET (a) may comprise from about 40 to about 80 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of (a), (c) and (d). PET resin and PBT resin are also combinable with each other in all proportions in the range of from about 10 to about 40 parts by weight. Thus, from about 10 to about 40 parts by weight of PET can be combined with from about 10 to about 40 parts by weight of PBT, based on 100 parts of (a), (b), (c) and (d) combined.
The reinforcing agents may be selected from glass flakes, glass beads and fibers and polymeric fibers and combinations thereof as well as mineral reinforcing agents.
Although it is only necessary to use a reinforcing amount of the reinforcing agent, from 1-50 parts by weight of the total weight of the composition may comprise the reinforcing agent. A preferred range is from 5-50 parts by weight and an especially preferred range is 10-50 parts by weight.
The preferred reinforcing agents are of glass, and it is preferred to use fibrous glass filaments, mixtures of glass and talc, glass and mica, glass and aluminum silicate, for example.
The filamentous glass to be employed as reinforcement in the present compositions is well known to those skilled in the art and is widely available from a number of manufacturers. For compositions ultimately to be employed for electrical uses, it is preferred to use fibrous glass filaments comprised of lime-aluminum borosilicate glass that is relatively soda free. This is known as "E" glass. However, other glasses are useful where electrical properties are not so important, e.g., the low soda glass known as "C" glass. As will be exemplified in the next section, it is most preferred to use glass filaments known as G-filament. The filaments are made by standard processes, e.g., by steam or air blowing, flame blowing and mechanical pulling. The preferred filaments for plastics reinforcement are made by mechanical pulling. The filament diameters range from about 0.00012 to 0.00075 inch, but this is not critical to the present invention.
The length of the glass filaments and whether or not they are bundled into fibers and the fibers bundled in turn to yarns, ropes or rovings, or woven into mats, and the like, are also not critical to the invention. However, in preparing the molding compositions, it is convenient to use the filamentous glass in the form of chopped strands of from about 1 to about 2 inches longs. In articles molded from the instant compositions, on the other hand, even shorter lengths will be encountered because, during compounding, considerable fragmentation will occur. This is desirable, however, because the best properties are exhibited by thermoplastic injection molded articles in which the filament lengths lie between about 0.0005 and 0.125 (one-eighth) inch.
The compositions of this invention can include, in addition to the filamentous glass reinforcement of the type described, mineral fillers in combination therewith, such as, e.g., talc, clay, silica, calcium silicate, mica and the like. Preferred as a filler is talc and especially preferred is finely ground talc of up to 325 mesh particle size. These mineral fillers, if present, and used in combination with, for example, glass, will generally comprises from about 10 to about 90 parts by weight per 100 parts of reinforcing agent (c).
Component (d) comprise amorphous or semi-crystalline thermoplastics. With respect to component (d), it may comprise amorphous thermoplastics such as poly(methyl methacrylate) and/or poly(butyl acrylate)/methyl methacrylate copolymer. These materials are widely available commercially from a number of sources. Preferred is an impact-modified poly(methyl methacrylate), which by way of example is available from the Rohm and Haas Company under the trademark Plexiglas DR. These materials represent a family of rubberlike materials that can be processed and recycled as thermoplastics. Suitable materials for use in this invention are copolyesters, such as a copolyether-polyester, polyether polyamides, poly(esteramides), and poly(etherimide esters). Preferred are copolyether-polyesters such as GAFLEX of the GAF Company and poly(etherimide esters). The former is made by reacting dimethylterephthalate (DMT) with butanediol and with butenediol and polytetramethylene glycol, and is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,355,155. The latter comprises the reaction product of
(a) one or more diols;
(b) one or more dicarboxylic acids;
(c) one or more high molecular weight poly(oxyalkylene) diamines; and
(d) one or more tricarboxylic acids or derivatives thereof.
Further description of the preferred poly(etherimide esters) and methods for their preparation are given in McCready et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,556,688.
The amount of amorphous or semi-crystalline thermoplastic, component (d) can vary widely in amount. The molding composition of the present invention will comprise from about 1 to about 35 parts by weight, preferably 1 to about 30 parts by weight, of component (d), based on the combined weights of components (a), (b), (c) and (d) or (a), (c) and (d).
Other ingredients, such as nucleating agents, flow promoters, antioxidants, stabilizers, dyes, pigments, plasticizers, flame retardants, drip retardants and the like can be added in conventional amounts for their conventionally employed purposes.
The warp resistant compositions of this invention can be prepared by a number of procedures known to those skill in this art. In one way given merely as illustration, the reinforcement, e.g., glass fibers, and, optionally, mineral filler, is put into an extrusion compounder with the resinous components, impact modifier, optionally with other additivies, e.g., nucleating agents, flow promoters, antioxidants and stabilizer to produce molding pellets. The reinforcement is dispersed in a matrix of the resin and impact modifier in the process. In another procedure, the reinforcement (c) is mixed with the resins and impact modifier by dry blending, extruded and chopped. The reinforcing agent can also be mixed with the resins and impact modifier and directly molded, e.g., by injection or transfer molding techniques.
In addition, compounding should be carried out to ensure that the residence time in the machine is short; the temperature is controlled; the friction heat is utilized; and an intimate blend between the resin and the reinforcement is obtained.
Although it is not essential, best results are obtained if the ingredients are pre-compounded, pelletized and then molded. Pre-compounding can be carried out in conventional equipment. For example, after pre-drying the polyester(s), impact modifier, optional additives and the reinforcing agent, e.g., under vacuum at 100� C. for 12 hours, a single screw extruder is fed with a dry blend of the ingredients, the screw employed having a long transition section to ensure proper melting. On the other hand, a twin screw extrusion machine, e.g., a 28 mm Werner Pfleiderer machine can be fed with resin and additives at the feed port and reinforcement down stream. In either case, a generally suitable machine temperature will be about 450� to 570� F. It is preferred that the extruder be provided with a sideport to allow vacuum venting of gaseous by-products and moisture that is generated during the melting stage of the blends. The pre-compounded composition can be extruded and cut up into molding compounds such as conventional granules, pellets, etc., by standard techniques.
The composition can be molded in any equipment conventionally used for glass-filled thermoplastic compositions, e.g., a Van Dorn type injection molding machine with conventional cylinder temperature, e.g., 500�-550� F. and conventional mold temperatures, e.g., 150� F.-200� F.
The following examples illustrate the present invention. They are not to be construed to limit the claims in any manner whatsoever.
In Examples 1-9, the following ingredient is used:
nucleating agent--sodium stearate
A mixture of resinous PET, Vituf� 6200, glass filaments, and impact modifier were mixed with a nucleating agent, sodium stearate, stabilizers and processing aid by tumbling 3-5 minutes in a 25 gallon stainless steel drum, and extruded on a HPM 21/2" vented extruder (L/O=30) and molded into workpieces by injection molding on a Van Dorn 3.5, 75 Ton molding machine at 520� F., approximately 30 second cycle time.
Molded articles suitable for use in testing were prepared using Procedure A above. Compositions and test results are set forth in Table 1.

The results indicate that articles with good warp resistance, improved flow and improved gloss characteristics can be obtained in accordance with this invention.
The above-mentioned patents and test methods are incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing detailed description will suggest many variations to those skilled in this art. For example, instead of using poly(ethylene terephthalate) or poly(1,4butylene terephthalate) as the poly(alkylene arylate), other compounds such as poly(ethylene isophthalate) can be used. Instead of glass or glass with mica filler, other reinforcers alone or combined with mineral fillers can be used, such as glass and talc. Other conventional additives such as pigments, dyes, colorants, plasticizers, mold release agents, flame-retardants, and the like can all be added in conventional amounts without departing from the spirit of this invention. All such variations are within the full intended scope of the appended claims.

The find!
I had purchased a large 9 x 12 of this exact rug several months ago from Overstock. I waited until I saw the 5 x 7 go on sale and quickly purchased it to match the large one. Beautiful, modern, easy to take care of ( I have a dog and a cat) and real easy to clean when the animals make a mistake.... I have a very large kitchen and it has tile floors. the 9x12 is super under the dinning table and the 5x7 works out beautifully under the breakfast section of the kitchen. If you can get the two of them - buy them fast... great deal...Read More
Love It!
This rug is softer than we thought it would be for the price. The dark red color matches our slip covers perfectly and the lighter colors make it so our small living room does not look smaller or dark. Considering ordering another for under our dining room table. Very pleased with this purchase!Read More
This rug was perfect at first but then it started to fold up on the ends. I tried everything to get it to lay flat. We kept tripping over it so I eventually rolled it up and put it away.Read More
Very, very nice!
Beautiful design and excellent quality. The online picture doesn't do it justice.Read More
darker than expected
The only thing I am trying to get use to is the color, it is not exactly as it is portrayed on the site. The reason I picked this rug was because the picture shows the red as being a more soft yet rustic orange-red which would have gone perfect with my artwork. However, upon arrival the color is a true red and not the rustic soft orange-red hue that I was looking for. Although the red is the only color that I find to be completely off, still the color difference can be said about the entire rug, the website shows the rug colors as being softer and more subtle, instead the colors are bold. It will take a bit of getting use to for me.Read More

Substituting granite in gritty mix
I've had very good success using the 5:1:1 mix for raised planters and a variation of the gritty mix in my small containers. I recently acquired a reasonably large Japanese maple (7-10 gal) and I'm reluctant to use the straight gritty mix for the re-pot. I'd like to substitute the granite portion and I'm looking for advice. In a older post, Al suggested that the pine bark has drainage/water retention properties which approximates an average between the Turface and granite. With that in mind could I simply leave out the granite and increase the % of pine bark or would I need to add perlite or something similar to maintain adequate drainage.
My reasoning is this: the native soil on our property is pure sand and, when it comes time to recycle the mix, I don't want to add granite to my garden beds. I've considered using the 5:1:1 (this won't be the permanent home for the maple) but I really like the qualities of Turface. My sandy (very low CEC) raised beds can't get enough of it.
Thanks in advance!
I've been using pumice in place of the granite, in both gritty mixes. I wanted a little more water retention because of all the drying winds here on the coast, it doesn't break down and still helps to keep things open. Perlite dumped in the yard blows around.
Thanks for the replies. I've done some more reading and found, in a post by Al, a suggestion to use additional Turface when omitting the granite:
"Are you also going to use crushed granite in the soil? The 1:1:1 is uncomposted pine bark: Turface: crushed granite grit. If not, you should use 2 parts Turface or calcined DE and 1 part bark and screen the Turface or DE through a kitchen strainer with holes about the size of insect screen."
Thought this was interesting as it would seem to create a soil that is more water-retentive than the standard 1:1:1 mix. Any thoughts?
It was in this thread here - about 1/2 way down the page.
Here is a link that might be useful: 100% Turface
When I make my medium mixes, I take into consideration where the container will be kept... as in what kind of environment it will be situated in. If it's for an outdoor container, I like a little more moisture retention because of the drying winds we get, combined with the heat of summer sun in my area. I also take into consideration the size of the pot, and any other variables that might affect moisture retention and evaporation. In short, I don't want to have to water more than once daily... just in case I can't be there to water for part of a day.
I keep my larger Japanese Maple specimens in a cross between the 511 and the gritty mix.
I'm sure that not much of what I'm saying will be usable to you... except that it helps me considerably to think about all the variables my containerized plant is likely to encounter through its growing season, which helps me decide on materials and ratios used in a particular mix.
The fir bark is the mainstay... with perlite, granite chips, turface, peat, aliflor, and a few other ingredients to choose from. I tend to mix my mediums in small batches for the individual plant. Once you've been using this general type of a medium for a while, you get a feel for what mixture will work best for the plant you have in mind.
Al and Josh always offer sound advice... you can't go wrong with their recommendations.
Thanks for the reply, Jodik. I ended up taking the gritty mix I had on hand (1:1:1) and mixing it 50/50 with pine bark. I guess that gives me about a 4:1:1 mix of pb:turface:granite. It's very free draining, but we'll see how that does for the winter. The maple was semi-bareroot, so I had to do something immediately, but I may re-pot in the Spring if I feel it's necessary.
When I first began using the grittier mediums, I made the mistake of not pre-moistening the mix before planting in it. Let's just say I had some issues... very stressed plants! Now I know better, and everything goes smoothly. But there was a slight learning curve when I first started using these mixes.
I think the important things to remember are how the mediums work, and why they work. Once you understand the purpose of a medium, and the basics of what containerized plants really require... understanding what happens under the soil surface at the root zone... it's all relatively easy from there.
And even if you do have questions or issues, there are plenty of folks here using the same mediums, so help is always available.
Happy Growing!

My Story: Battle with Dermatitis

Posted by
First of all I want to say 'Hello' to all of you here. This is my first thread, so I might as well introduce myself. My name is Jonathan and I am 26 years old. This is my story about my struggle with dermatitis.
[br>The first encounter with dermatitis and dandruff was when I was 15 years old (puberty) and I didn't give it much attention. Anyways after three years of constant progress first I changed my shampoo (took the one for babies) and it didn't help. Actually not only it didn't help, but it made things even worse! After I noticed that condition on my face and when it really started to hurt I decided to finally visit dermatologist (since then I just thought it was a normal dandruff condition and that it would cure as I change my shampoo). Anyways, the diagnosis was "seborrheic derematitis". I didn't know what it was and my dermatologist prescribed me a shampoo on ketoconazole basis and come corticosteroid cream. It helped! My skin was clear and my scalp was amazingly dry. After some time the seborrheic dermatitis returned but I could keep it under control. It lasted like that until the winter two years ago.[br>[br>I noticed in November two years ago that something is different: shampoo doesn't have the same effect like before and I can't risk the over-usage of corticosteroid cream, since side effects could be horrible. Nothing my dermatologist have prescribed didn't work! I was desperate but didn't lose hope. So I started surfing the internet in order to see other people experiences and to try some alternative remedy. I have learned that everything depends on the level of your stress, your daily diet, how much you sleep and basically everything. It all comes out on your skin! So I have changed my daily habits. I have changed my meals. I was taking more cooked food, and less fried one. I slept more and tried whenever I can to avoid any kind of stress. Also I put more chicken meat and more vegetables into my diet, and less "red meat". I completely changed 95% of my life habits and waited to see if there was any changed. I waited for 2-3 weeks, and changes were some or none.. and their progress was very slow, so I surfed more on the internet until one day I come to this website:
(I am not associated with FeelGoodTime.net by any means!).
There I found many interesting tips, and some did work some didn't, but the one which worked most for me was the "Bay leaf, vinegar and yogurt" combination. Also, I bought Nizoral, a shampoo on ketoconazole basis (the previous one I used was Oronazol). It finally helped! Now occasionally I clean my face with "Bay leaf, vinegar and yogurt" and use Nizoral and I don't have anymore problems with seborrheic dermatitis. Also, I put lemon on my face. It hurts sometimes, but it cleanses skin amazingly! So, health life style + alternative remedy + Nizoral is the perfect combo for me. I didn't cure it 100% (don't think it is 100% curable, since it is , but this it's kept under control.[br>[br>This is my story, my struggle with dermatitis and the way I managed to keep it under control. I hope it will help someone. Good luck and don't ever lose faith..., it can be tough sometimes, but keep hoping and fighting!
Does anyone else have problem with this? I hope my story might help someone! Good luck!

After Ever After
From Library Staff

this was a great book it was sad but funny serious but loose
This book was recommended by Seattle Public Library for people who liked A Fault in Our Stars. If the thing that drew you to A Fault in Our Stars is kids with cancer, then yes, After Ever After might also be enjoyable to you. Unfortunately, that's where the similarity stops. I loved the characters in AFIOS but I found the characters in AEA to be extremely unbelievable, especially when viewed through the lens of my own middle school memories. I never felt attached to anyone and when bad things happened I knew I was supposed to feel sad, but I did not (whereas I cried like a baby when I read AFIOS). I see now that this book is a sequel; maybe I'd have liked it better if I'd read the first book first.
A great eye-opening book just like drums, girl, and dangerous pie!
I think everyone should read those 2 books in their life!
They give you a glimnse into teh lives of cancer patients and cancer surviors....how life doesn't get a whole lot easier even in remission (after treatment) cause of the unfortunate side-effects.
I think this made it to my top 3 fave books by Jordan (following Drums, Girls.. and Notes from a midnight driver respectively). Because I loved Jeffy in Drums, and its nice to read about him all grown up. And i really really love Tad. And i love Jordan's books, because I didn't expect the twist in the middle, thinking this to be a happy book. Of course, it wouldn't be one of his books if it didn't leave me laughing AND teary eyed at the end :) So yeah, and it's cute how jeff still adores steven even if theyre all grown up. <3

Parenting Multiples
> Toddler twin biting issue-help...
I am at my wits end with the oldest twin. For the last couple of months she has been on a biting frenzy with her twin who is currently covered in at least ten bite bruises. I have tried everything, and I mean everything that has been suggested to me by people who've had biting issues. I thought I would bring this to the twin board, hoping that other twins have had these issues and they've been resolved. They are 17 months old. She has only ever tried to bite one other child, one of my friend's twins when he took something she wanted, go figure. This is getting super old and my poor younger twin is bit up to pieces by her bullying sister. My oldest never bit so this is all very new to me and I'm very through with it. Thanks...
Hi Kendall
We had the same thing with our kids although they were a bit older. Other than vigilence and time, I'm sorry to say nothing worked. I ended up keeping the 'biten' up on my hip while the biter was in her 'mood'.
It's hard and I'm sorry I don't have more helpful info. Like you we tried everything even to the point of giving the biten the permission to bite back which he never did. It was just part of their dynamic and their stages and it was exhausting.
The only good thing I can tell you is that it will end someday soon.
3 little birds
When my girls were that age, first one was the biter, then a few months later the other became a biter. It just took time for them to get it out of their system I guess. Then ds came along. He's almost out of the biting stage. When he bit his sisters I would tell them that they used to bite too and they couldn't believe it.
Hope it ends for you soon!

The Giving Tree Band
The Lady Crooners, The Americans
Hotel Utah
500 4th Street
San Francisco, CA, 94107
This event is 21 and over
Led by enigmatic brothers Todd and "E" Fink, The Giving Tree Band are making their way to the head of a classy class of young American songwriters and performers. The Finks extended their brotherhood to all 7 members and started out with only a collective heart as big as the ocean. They now wield a wide array of instruments from acoustic and electric guitars, slide guitars and banjos to violin, mandolin and pedal steel. A band's band, they all live together, travel together and do everything as one family, harmonizing their voices and lives on and off stage. The Giving Tree Band is not reinventing but simply reuniting rock and roll. With their down-home style, they emphasize the virtue in their fierce virtuosity - playing each note with integrity, each part with humility, each song with honesty and each show with gratitude. The most common word among reviews is "undeniable" in regards to the chemistry on stage, the energy in the room and the feeling that something special is happening. With a rare combination of stirring musicianship and exemplary songwriting, the GTB wheel is in full spin and, like their heroes before them, it's also on fire.
The Lady Crooners is a folk/pop/'almost' country band, featuring siblings Nadia, Joseph, and Megan Krilanovich, with Kevin Conness, and Jason Braatz.
The Lady Crooners formed in 2010 as a collaboration of siblings, Nadia and Joseph Krilanovich. Song writing was a natural fit for the duo, him with a guitar, her with a love of storytelling, and both with a drive to create. Our collaborations grew to welcome the addition of gifted musicians and our first album, THE LADY CROONERS, was released in 2012.
Our second album, THE SURFACE, was released in June 2013.
Our style has been called everything from folk pop to 'almost country'. We sing in a signature blend of sibling harmonies with vocals by, Nadia, Joseph, and Megan Krilanovich, accompanied by Kevin Conness on lead guitar, and Jason Braatz on bass. Our songwriting is honest, an anchor in a fast-paced world, with an echo of times past. We tell our stories, sharing heartache, love, laughter, and all the good stuff. We wear boots. We give every performance our all, and we always leave a crowd wanting more.
For us, music is about sharing. It's about giving and it's about bringing together family and friends, new and old. We are The Lady Crooners. And we celebrate sharing our authentic, darn good music with you.
The Americans perform original rock & roll rooted in traditional American music. Formed in 2010, the Americans have toured all over the United States and shared billing with the likes of T Bone Burnett and Patti Smith. The band accompanied Grammy- and Oscar-winner Ryan Bingham on his Junky Star and Tomorrowland tours in 2011 and 2012.

Do You Have a Good System for Tagging Wine?
We have several hundred bottles of wine and I am currently organizing them with tags that give the vintage year and type. The tags are not big enough for the winery also. I don't really want to use a numbering system (assign numbers to wineries) because we don't have that much and I am not the only,one who puts wine away. I don't want a system so complicated no one else will follow it.
Do you tag your bottles for easy retrieval, or use some other method? I am not on any fora for oenophiles and there aren't any groups in our town (that I know of, at least) so I really don't have any place else to ask. (I do have a friend with a wine cellar but they seem to have no system at all!)
This is how it looks, with the vintage at the top of the tag and the type (e.g. Viognier, Malbec. Cabernet, etc) on the bottom of the tag. I try to write big enough to be able to see them without taking off the tag.
This post was edited by kswl on Mon, Sep 1, 14 at 20:46
I do drink wine with dinner about three or four nights per week, usually just a glass. DH is a teetotaler, not from disapproval but from habit and disinterest (his parents did not drink, but his sibs all do now). Our kids drink wine with dinner when they are home, and we serve mostly serve wine or cocktails with prosecco or aperol and other ingredients when entertaining. I also like to have it for hostess gifts so I never have to shop for something at the last minute, and I enjoy finding individual bottles--- although there are several things I buy by the case, like champagne, a table red blend we all like from Virginia, a Cabernet from a biodynamic winery in Napa, etc.
We changed the flooring to brick in our cellar and the back hall from which it opens when we did the basement reno, and I love the way it came out. Its a funny little triangular room of about 90 sq ft that "occurred" when the new wing was built onto this house in 1994. Its counterpart upstairs became a nice pantry.
All bricked, and Handy Guy changed the light for a lantern a few months ago, which I love.
I tried cardstock price tags on a string from an office supply store, but they all fell off in the bottom of the "cellar". Back to the drawing board.
Now I try to organize by type and date so that I can get close, but I only hold about 100 bottles at a time, so it's pretty easy to figure out what I want.
If you open the door too fast the whoosh will drop a few tags on ours, too, lol. But any harder to get them on than hang around the neck of the bottle and I know we won't use them. I've looked for bigger ones but then they won't hang side by side very well.
All the photos of lovely wine cellars show no tags at all...,I guess they use a computerized system like barcodes for their bottles. A bit of overkill for what we have.

Samsung would include a metal chassis and ditching its plastic body, according to new rumors.
Being that Samsung is also known for putting out devices that have been boldly made from a hard plastic as opposed to glass or metal like other companies' devices, there's been a great deal of surprise in the media world as we have learned the company may now be releasing the Galaxy Note 3 in metal.
Yesterday, a slew of tech sites reported that Samsung's third-gen phablet would ditch the Note range's plastic construction for weightier, premium materials. The move was said to be inspired by the glowing reviews for the aluminium unibody exterior of the HTC One, which we were told left Samsung "worried" that its handset looked and felt low-end in comparison.
However, according to Mobile Review Editor and all-round mobile motormouth Eldar Murtazin, the story was the work of HTC's press department and not based on fact. The blogger gave kudos to HTC's PR.
However, most reports attributed the story to Samsung-centric website SamMobile, which claimed they were tipped off by insiders.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is expected to make its debut in the third quarter of this year. Rumours point to possible September release date. There are speculations that Samsung will hold the announcement of the Note 3 on the annual IFA event in Berlin. The said launch will allow Samsung to maximize its profits and to complete the tried-and-tested September product cycle of the Galaxy Note series.
It is initially speculated that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 would make its grand debut at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week in its keynote. The rumours are fuelled by the significant price drop of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 at some resellers early this month.
However, Samsung neither confirmed nor denied the rumours surrounding its devices.
