United States Patent 3,314,536 PACKAGING ADHESIVES IN CASINGS Rudolph B. .lanota, Lansing, and Dino J. Zari, Western Springs, 111., assignors to Swift & Company, Chicago, 13]., a corporation of Illinois N0 Drawing. Filed Dec. 10, 1962, Ser. No. 243,605 8 Claims. (Cl. 20684) This invention relates to a packaging container and a process for filling up and packaging tacky polymeric materials which are sticky when molten and at room temperatures. More specifically, this invention concerns a means for packaging hot-melt adhesives and a process for packaging such hot-melt adhesives in the molten state.
Hot-melt adhesives are usually thermoplastic adhesives and find usage in bonding a wide variety of materials. These adhesives are used tosbond metal to metal such as aluminum foil to aluminum rods, side seams in metal cans, paper to paper, flexible package films to themselves and, also, to paper, wax carton stock to itself, polyethylene to glass, aluminum to Styrofoam, and in many other applications. Hot-melt adhesives are used advantageously because they increase the speed of production, that is, the speed with which they produce a bond. They also have 100% solids and, hence, are economical to use. Furthermore, they usually do not contain or produce volatile materials such as flammable organic solvents or toxic substances. Hot-melt adhesives are usually indifferent to ex treme heat or cold and, hence, no storage precautions are needed to insure safe stocking and storage of these products.
However, very serious difficulties vhave been encountered in devising suitable containers for packaging and transporting these tacky, polymeric substances since such substances adhere to almost everything. In the past, if a hot-melt adhesive did not block (the property of sticking to itself), it could be handled by permitting the hot-melt to cool or to be artificially cooled by refrigeration followed by a choice of various methods to granulate the product to the desired particle size. This may also be accomplished with some of the hot-melts even though they block, if they are hard enough to chop by one means or another or if they are held in a frozen state by the use of artificial cooling methods such as Dry Ice. However, many hot-melt formulations have permanent tack and/ or are to soft to decrease the .particle size very readily or on a practical scale.
Various means of packaging hot-melts have been tried, all without complete success. If the hot-melts are packaged in paper bags, the paper becomes so firmly bonded to the polymeric material that it cannot be stripped off, even by tedious manual operations, without leaving large quantities of paper fibers imbedded in the surface of the polymeric material. These fibers, if left imbedded in the hot-melt material, impart highly injurious properties to the finished products made therefrom. Metal containers have been used, but such containers make it necessary for the ultimate consumer to heat the material or chop it after cooling before he can use it. Even heating the metal containers is not satisfactory since it is still difficult to remove the materials due to the fact that they adhere to metal, even when they are in the molten state. Furthermore, it is not a safe practice to handle the hot containers (350400 F.) by manual means.
Attempts have also been made to extrude and chop the melts into small particle size or in rope form. Attempts have also been made to use various plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, etc., for packaging such materials. However, many of these plastic product packaging materials are practically useless since they are too sensitive to heat. Furthermore, various plastic materials which are heat-resistant and do not tend to adhere to the 3,3l453fi Patented Apr. 18, 1967 hot-melts, are difficult to form into suitable packaging materials, and/or are economically unsound.
In some cases, granulating or grinding the hot-melt adhesives in a frozen condition followed by dusting with a material such as calcium stearate or inert clays so as to prevent them from sticking together to form a large mass can be utilized. However, granulating or grinding is applicable only to those hot melts Which do not block and are relatively hard and brittle, unless one is willing to accept the extra processing costs which are encountered by freezing the hot melt and introducing a dusting agent to prevent blocking when stored at room temperature. Furthermore, the dusting material used to impart nonblocking may detract from the adhesive properties of the hot melts.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a packaging container for molten adhesives which are sticky in the molten, as well as in the solid, state.
It is also an object of this invention to provide a packaged hot-melt adhesive whose container may be easily removed from the packaged adhesive.
It is a-further object of this invention to provide packaged hot-melt adhesives whose containers are able to withstand exceedingly high temperatures and, also, maintain the necessary strength required at the time of filling.
A still further object of this invention is to provide a process for packaging extremely hot molten, hot-melt adhesives.
Additional objects, if not specifically set forth herein, will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the detailed description of the invention which follows.
In general, this invention relates to the packaging of tacky thermoplastic materials in containers comprising regenerated cellulose. The regenerated cellulose containers are able to withstand the temperatures of the molten hot melts (usually ranging between room temperature and 400 F.) and they possess the required strength necessary at the time of filling. Furthermore, the containers of this invention possess the release properties needed for hotmelt adhesives. In order to use the hot-melt adhesives, which are packaged in accordance with the teachings of this invention, one need only immerse the packaged adhesive in water for a short time before using. The water causes the regenerated cellulose container to swell and permits its easy removal by peeling.
Hot-melt adhesives, intended to be packaged in accordance with the instant invention, are thermoplastic polymers which are liquid at some elevated temperature yet set to a strong solid when cooled. They are bonding agents which achieve a solid state and resultant strength by cooling, as contrasted with other adhesives which achieve the solid state through evaporation or removal of solvents. Prior to heating, a hot-melt adhesive is a thermoplastic, solid material, all adhesive. Application of heat brings the substance to a liquid state, and after removal of the heat, it sets by simple cooling.
There is a wide variety of ingredients that go into making a hot melt. The formulator has a wide selection of usually low-molecular weight, natural and synthetic waxes and resins to choose from. These include: polyamides; rosins and its derivatives such as hydroabietyl alcohol; coumarone-indene resins; mineral, vegetable, and petroleum waxes; terpene resins; alkyds; heat-stable phenolformaldehyde resins; butyl rubber; saturated polyesters; natural asphalts and vegetable and coal-tar pitches, etc. These ingredients usually have low strength and melt easily to low viscosity fluids. In order to be converted to more useful adhesives, higher molecular weight polymers are blended therewith. Higher molecular weight polymers, which are typically blended with the natural and synthetic waxes and resins to toughen or reinforce the 'same, include polyvinyl acetate and its derivatives, ethyl the properties desired.
cellulose, butyl methacrylates, ethyl acrylate and its copolymers such as copolymers of ethyl acrylate and ethylene, polyethylene and its copolymers, polystyrene and styrene copolymers, polyiso'butylene, ethylene and vinyl acetate copolymers, etc. While hot-melts are usually a blended mixture of various polymers, it should be understood that any one of the above-mentioned ingredients may be used singly or in combination depending upon In addition, the hot-melt adhesives normally contain a liquid plasticizer, either monomeric or resinous. The finished adhesives also contain pigments, fillers and antioxidants.
Very good hot-melt adhesives have been formulated from polyarnides derived from dimerized unsaturated higher fatty acids such as linoleic acid, and polyamines such as ethylene diamine and diethylene triamine, along with polyvinyl acetate and its derivatives and polyethylene. These hot melts have been utilized in bonding metal foil such as aluminum foil, paper, plastic films, fabrics, glass, leather, etc.
In accordance with the present invention, the molten hot-melt adhesives, usually at a temperature of about 225 F. to 400 F., are permitted to flow into a regenerated cellulose container having the desired shape. A most preferred embodiment comprises extruding the molten hot-melt adhesive into a shirred regenerated cellulose casing having a diameter of about 1 to 3 inches and being about 50 in length when fully extended. After the casing is filled, it is removed from the extrusion horn and the open end of the casing is securely fastened. After the packaged hot-melt adhesive has cooled, it can be rolled into a coil or cut into various lengths.
The hot-melt adhesives can also be packaged by filling cavities which are surrounded by regenerated cellulose film. During the filling process, the regenerated cellulose container is usually supported. For example, a metal or plastic mold may be lined with regenerated cellulose sheets. Even buckets may be lined with the regenerated cellulose film and the molten hot-melt adhesive poured in. The hot-melt adhesive is allowed to cool and the mold or frame support is then removed leaving a solid hot-melt adhesive packaged in the regenerated cellulose film.
When using seamless tubing, i.e., casing, may vary from A" to about 3" or more. The actual diameter and length of the casing is merely a matter of choice and after the packaged hot-melt adhesive is cooled, one may cut the article into any desirable length. In general it has been found that best results are obtained when the wall thickness of the regenerated cellulose casing is about 1 to about 2 mils. When it is desirable to package hot-melt adhesives in larger quantities, say for example 4" to 5" square by 20 to 24" in length, the regenerated cellulose film may be coated on kraft paper to give increased strength and thickness. In this case, the thickness will then be between about 2.5 and 3.5 mils.
In the present invention, regenerated cellulose is considered to be that derived from cellulose xanthate solutions (viscose). Without attempting to expand on viscose production, which is well covered in both patent and technical literature, it suffices to describe its production only in general.
Cellulose is soaked in cold 16-20 Be. caustic solution and the excess alkali removed. The alkali cellulose is aged cold and converted to the xanthate ester by means of carbon disulfide. The final steps include solution in dilute alkali to form viscose, and aging the solution until ready for extrusion into the desired form.
Other forms of regenerated cellulose such as those derived from cupramrnonium or zinc chloride solutions are equally efifective so long as they are susceptible to moisthe diameter 'ture. Cellulose ester films such as the acetate, nitrate,
butyrate, etc., are undesirable since they do not release under moist conditions, and'they lose all their strength at terriperatures below those needed for most molten hotme ts.
The regenerated cellulose film readily transmits Water and swells which permits the easy removal of the film from the hot-melt adhesive. The release properties of the regenerated cellulose from the hot-melt adhesive was quite unexpected since in general hot-melt adhesives are hydrophobic materials which retain their adhesive qualities even when wet. Furthermore, the ability to withstand bursting at elevated temperatures (350-400 F.) was unexpected. These properties of regenerated cellulose make the filling of molten hot-melt adhesives feasible, practical and safe.
The following examples are presented to illustrate the invention. It will be understood that the examples are illustrative and should not be taken in any manner as limiting the invention as defined in the appended claims.
EXAMPLE I A molten hot-melt adhesive comprising 84.5 parts of Versamid No. 100, 10.5 parts of Versamid No. 940, 4.8 parts of Butvar B-98 (polyvinyl butyral), 0.2 part of urea, and 1.5 grams of Anti Foam A (a silicone resin) per 100 pounds of the above ingredients was poured into a cylinder having a heavy wall construction. The Versamids are polyamide resins produced by the condensation of polymerized linoleic acid with lower al-kylene polyamines such as ethylene diamine and diethylene triamine. This hot-melt adhesive has a viscosity of 35 poises at 375 F., is amber in color and is quite sticky and cold flows at room temperature. The molten hot-melt adhesive was forced out through an extrusion horn by the application of air pressure at the top of the cylinder. A shirred regenerated cellulose casing, having a diameter of about three inches, was secured to the horn and allowed to be filled with the molten adhesive. After the casing was filled and extended about fi fty feet, the valve on the cylinder was shut oil and the casing removed. The open end of the casing, which had been telescoped over the extrusion horn, was immediately sealed by means of a string. After the packaged hot-melt adhesive had cooled, it was cut with an axe into lengths of about one foot. In order to ues the hot-melt adhesive, the packaged product was placed under cold tap water for about one minute or so. The casing swelled, and, possessing excellent release properties, was easily peeled away from the adhesive.
The following adhesive formulations were compounded and packaged in accordance with the procedure set out in Example I.
Adhesive B Parts Titanium dioxide 2.4 Parafiin wax (M.P 127131 F.) 18.0
Pentaphen No. 67 (para-tertiaryarnyl phenol) 1.0 Ethyl cellulose N-10 18.7 Glyceryl-monoricinoleate 14.7 Epon 1001 (bisphenol A-epichlorohydrin) 28.0
Hydrogenated tallow fatty acids 16.4 This adhesive is milky white, has a viscosity of about 10 poises at 330 F. and is a good example of a material that blocks.
Adhesive C Parts W. W. Rosin (refined wood rosin) 50.0 Monoplex DDA (di-iso-decyl adipate) s 15.0 Ethyl 702 (anti-oxidant) 0.5 Elvax 220 (ethylene-vinylacetate polymer) 29.5 Zytel nylon 61 (poly-amide resin) 5.0
This adhesive is amber in color, has a viscosity of about 4 poises at 360 F. and about 12.3 poises at 300 F. and a rosin odor when wet. It is stable for about up to 6 months, its setting time is around 10-20 seconds and is tacky at room temperature. Toluene and perchlorethylene are solvents which can be used to clean up this ad hesive.
Adhesive D Parts Piccolyte S-125 SF (terpene-hydrocarbon resin) 25.0 Staybelite resin (hydrogenated rosin) 4 9.5 Vistanex LMMH (polyisobutylene) 15.0 Anti-oxidant (2,6-di-tert-butylphenol) 0.5 Elvax 150 (ethylene-vinylacetate polymer) 10.0
This adhesive is amber in color and has a viscosity of about 10.2 poises at 380 F. and about 47.8 poises 310 F. It has the property of blocking, and no odor when dry but a slight rosin odor when wet. Perchloethylene and toluene can be used to clean up this adhesive.
Adhesive E Parts W. W. Rosin (refined wood rosin) 50.0 Anti-oxidant (2,6-di-tert-butylphenol) 0.5 Monoplex DDA (di-iso-decyl adipate) 10.0 Elvax 150 (ethylene-vinylacetate polymer) 39.5
This adhesive is amber in color and has no odor when dry but a slight rosin odor when Wet. It has good resistance to solvents and excellent resistance to water and temperature variations between F. to about 100 F. Its setting time is about 10-12 seconds.
Adhesive F Parts Piccolyte S-125 (a terpene hydrocarbon resin) 23.2 Vistanex LMMH (polyisobutylene) 23.3
43.0 yellow and also has the property Epolene C (a low molecular weight polyethylene):
This adhesive is light of blocking.
The above-mentioned adhesives were packaged both in regenerated cellulose casings and in pails lined with regenerated cellulose film. In order to use the hot-melt adhesives, the packaged products were placed under tap water for a few minutes. In all cases the casing swelled and was easily torn away from the adhesive.
Perhaps the most outstanding facet of the present invention is the fact that the regenerated cellulose film possesses outstanding release properties. It was first thought that the cellulose containers would have to be coated with releasing agents or dusted with, say, calcium stearate before being filled in order for the adhesive to release from the film when the hot melt was needed. It was, therefore, quite unexpected to find that the mere wetting of the regenerated cellulose container would enable one to readily peel ofii the film, leaving the adhesive free from any contaminating cellulose film particles. This Was also surprising since most work Was done on hotmelts that were quite tacky even when cool or wet. The particular properties of regenerated cellulose appear to be unique since other cellulosic derivatives do not possess the desired features. For example, it is impossible to remove cellulose acetate film from packaged hot-melt adhesives due to the fact that either the hot melt is designed to adhere to such substances or the heat of the molten hot melt softens the cellulose acetate so that it becomes part of the hot melt.
The particular regenerated cellulose films and tubes utilized in the instant invention can be either transparent or opaque. They can be colored so as to distinguish various grades or types of hot melts.
It is apparent that many modifications and variations of the invention as hereinbefore set forth may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. Specific embodiments described in the examples and specification are given by way of illustration only, as it is obvious to the hot melt formulator that all types of raW materials, whehter natural products or synthetic materials, may be packaged in accordance with the teachings of the instant invention. It is also obvious to the adhesive technologist that one may modify the now existing materials by blending them to suit particular requirements. Accordingly, regenerated cellulose films may be used to package either the stock commercial polymers or the new synthetic polymers and hence the invention is to be limited only by the terms of the appended claims.

Lamb's Ears spring maintenance...cut back?
Now that I am retired, I want to take better care of my garden. My lamb's ears tend to look ratty, and I noticed yesterday as I was cleaning the bed that most of the plant looks dead. That may be normal, but since I have never worked outside this early in the spring before, I don't have any comparison.
I did a quick search online, and read that in the spring you are supposed to cut back the plants to very close to the ground. Is this what you do?
Maybe this is why mine always look bad.
first off.. you can do a lot of damage being out too early ...
especially if you are walking in your beds.. making concrete out of your soil ...
second.. if you have more than one.. experiment.. you are more likely to remember... if you try different methods..
third.. get down there.. and look to see if there are buds down low.. if so ... off with their heads ... all the power to the buds ...
if you dont see them.. and your research already said to do it.. perhaps you are out too early ... but it wont matter.. just do it ...
and really.. the name of the plant doesnt matter ... just about everything goes low in early spring ....
[of which we will now get a list of those that shouldnt.. lol ... but i am devious that way .. lol ...]
I don't prune so much as groom. I just pull off the old ratty stuff - if you wait until this time of the year (opposed to the fall), it pulls right off/out with a good yank. Or you can use pruners if you want to be more delicate about it. Just cut or yank. No need to be fussy with these, they'll be fine - if any gets uprooted just tamp it back into place.
Had a garden with a large patch of lamb's ear right by the front door.
Removed the flower spikes after flowering and it looked OK after that.
I never leave garden clean up till the next spring.
I don't do spring clean-up at all. In the very late fall I cut everything down. Some I do by hand and some I just mow. I leave all the cuttings lay right where they are for mulch (and have never had problems with disease). In the spring, I spread the dead stuff around into the bare spots for mulch.
I seldom use 'killer stuff' unless I am creating a new bed --- then Round-Up or similar products do the job for me. If I have more time, I just smother the new beds with hay in late summer/fall so by spring I can plant.
I try to avoid doing spring clean up too early on my flower beds. I feel the "ratty" stuff insulated the plants over winter and when Spring weather/temps fluctuate so often, and new growth begins, the ratty stuff protects it.
With tough ole Lambs Ears however, in the early Spring I rake the spent leaves off any day it's nice and I have the time. In my garden, once established, It's difficult to irreparably damage Lambs ear.

Cutting back excess vegetation is a key to fire prevention this summer, both on private and public lands and around homes. Mowing operations are important. But on hilly areas like Pleasanton Ridge, there are few better options than sheep and goats. As many as you can get, as quickly as you can get them. If grass fires get into the eucalyptus, the whole ridge could go up. It might be nice to get rid of those invasive trees as was done on Angel Island, but fire is not the answer. Keeping down the brown grass is the best approach. Bring on the ruminants!

Universal Search Now In Google Suggest For Mobile
Google has now incorporated universal search in Google Suggest for mobile search. The company did this on the PC last year.
In selected situations this allows users to get "answers" in the Suggest drop-down options menu rather than waiting for a SERP. Here's "weather" on the PC and on mobile for example:
There's more user tolerance of "links" on the PC than in mobile and so getting to answers on smartphones more quickly is critical to enable Google to maintain and grow mobile search usage.
Running in the background here is the competitive universe of specialized apps (iPhone, Android, etc.) that offer a richer experience but may be somewhat harder to access in some cases. Thus Google is trying to establish its all-purpose utility on mobile devices. Voice search is also a key to doing this.
SMX Advanced is the only conference designed exclusively for experienced paid search advertisers and SEOs. You'll participate in experts-only sessions and network with fellow internet marketing thought leaders. Check out the tactic-packed agenda!

100 Blood Elf Paladin
'm sorry, but every suggestion you have made is bad. No class should just be made underpowered because it was strong in the past.
Ret pallies says hi, we still being nerfed because we're too good smashing undergeared people at random battlegrounds.
I just have one suggestion.
Pretty much every Fire Mage uses it in PvE (one who doesn't is making a mistake). The effects the glyph has on Nether Tempest and Frost Bomb were added to ensure that Fire Mages weren't locked into Living Bomb as a result of using the glyph.
I would replace the Frost Bomb effect with one more similar to the Living Bomb and Nether Tempest effects -- something that improves cleave/AOE, rather than instant detonation.

Seeing as frost mages do top pve dps right now I fail to see the problem with this.
This is probably a good idea, since earlier you stated that Frost Bomb wasn't competitive with the other 2 bombs' AoE until 6+ targets. It would fix both the single target PvP burst issue and the multi-target PvE issue in one move.
Oh, I don't consider that 6+ targets thing a problem. Each bomb is meant to be pretty much equal for single-target DPS (and they are), but to have strengths and weaknesses relative to the other two in cleave and AOE situations. Roughly speaking, Living Bomb is the best cleaver, Nether Tempest is best when the targets aren't well-clustered, and Frost Bomb is the best AOE. This is a fine design, not really a problem to be corrected.
Something simple like: using Fire Blast while your Frost Bomb is ticking down increases its damage to secondary targets by 10% should make for a similar result to the Nether Tempest effect, without changing the balance of the talents in multi-target situations.

Lhivera's Compendium • http://lhiveras-library.com/compendium
Frost Bomb does its damage because of the target being frozen. Commonly, this is because of Deep Freeze.
Reinhart is a good player, he knows what he is talking about. So you dont need to explain it to him like he is a moron who just doesn't understand.
You say that the issue is that they don't do enough damage in a deep freeze using fireblast to detonate frostbomb. The issue is that this DOES do so much damage still and needs to be addressed.
Edited by Vaelseir on 12/11/2012 1:15 PM PST
Good suggestion! I assume you also mean that it would not instantly detonate the single target effect?
Correct. It would convert the glyph from a "make Frost Bomb go off now" effect to a "make Frost Bomb do slightly higher damage to secondary targets" effect similar to the Nether Tempest effect.
As it happens, GC tweeted about this recently, saying that the glyph is "on their list" and they're thinking about it, but that the potential risk is that without the glyph, Frost Bomb would never deal damage in PvP.
90 Undead Hunter
Frosts PVE damage would suck.
As of tonight's hotfixes, Frost Bomb deals half damage if detonated with glyphed Fire Blast.

Let's see if this manages to stop all the whiners and armchair designers who think they know best on how mage damage should work (I doubt it, but one can hope)...
Edited by Jibbajabba on 12/12/2012 7:36 AM PST
You may want to bank those FoF charges and/or BF procs as the damage reduction is somewhat noticeable (and quite noticeable in PvP).
Put bomb on Elegon, detonate when sparks appear?
90 Gnome Warlock
Frost bomb
Chaos Bolt unlike the others takes time to gain a secondary resource and either has to use another CD, or is fricken long to cast. So yes Chaos Bolt should be the f'n hardest hitting spell in the game. Nothing that is instant or shorter should hit as hard.
Now if you dont want it to hit as hard, then break it down into faster shorter casts. But then you really hurt the class because having 4 chaos bolts in a small window is what drops adds, and hard mobs while out not pvping. Considering mages and Frost bomb its the tool kit. They are the most slippery of all classes, and have lots of CC. Much of it instant. They have blink on a short CD that gets them out of trouble, plus a couple cd's to mitigate all incoming damage.
The frost bomb/fire blast glyph nerf at 50%, instead of 37.5% or 24.37%, is another example of reactive nerfing. There is no rhyme or reason for 50% other than it is a nice round number. It has zero chance of being the product of reasoned consideration of the facts. In fact, it is such a nice round figure, that I am quite certain that on the doodle napkin showing the "math" supporting this nerf, there is a booger.

Tigers dispatch Maori All Blacks

George Ford booted the Leicester Tigers to a famous 32-24 victory over the Maori All Blacks in front of a packed Welford Road on Tuesday night.
The young fly-half slotted 22 points as the Tigers handed the Maori's their first loss since 2007. But it was the visitors who took the early advantage thanks to a score from Frae Wilson but the Tigers soon struck back through Ford's boot and a try from Niall Morris. The Tigers then stretched their lead through Adam Thompstone's try but Tim Bateman struck back for the away side with a score of his own to make the score 26-17 in favour of the Tigers at the break.
Ford then nudged over an early penalty in the second 40 but Charlie Ngatai's try kept the Maori's hot on the heels of the hosts. Both teams suffered late sin-binnings with Dan Bowden and Jarrod Hoeata seeing yellow and a further penalty from Ford took the score to 32-24. The visitors attempted to rally in the closing stages but the Tigers held on for the win.
Elsewhere on Tuesday evening, the Tigers' Aviva Premiership rivals Gloucester were also facing international opposition. The Cherry and Whites overcame Fiji 31-29 in a pulsating clash at Kingsholm.
But it was Fiji who started the better of the teams with hooker Tuapati Talemaitoga going over for an early score with Jonetani Ralulu nudging over a pair of penalties. Both teams then exchanged tries with Matt Cox scoring for Gloucester while Toulouse flyer Timoci Matanavou crashed over for Fiji leaving the half-time score 18-10 in favour of the visitors.
Fiji then stretched their lead with a score from Watisoni Vatu who took advantage of a superb cross-kick from Ralulu. But the tied then turned in the match with Gloucester taking advantage of Penijamni Makutu's sin-binning to notch a penalty try. Fiji were then reduced to 13-men when Nemani Naqusa was dispatched to the cooler and Gloucester piled in for another penalty try. Fiji nudged over another penalty but Gloucester struck in the closing stages through Koree Britton and with Dan Robson's conversion, it was enough to secure a memorable win.
And the Newcastle Falcons were also in action on Tuesday evening against Tonga at Kingston Park. They overcame the visitors 24-13 with Scott MacLeod, a penalty try and another score from Mark Wilson bringing up their total.

While I have a well earned disdain for lawyers, I see nothing wrong with having 4 lawyers and a judge entangled in a meaningless duel until they all die.
From the specifics of this story, I do want the defense attorneys to win the vast majority of similar cases, but anything that keeps more of the feral lawyer population away from defenseless civilians is a good thing in my mind. My apologies to those who will be caught up as defendants in this nonsense, but remember that your suffering in the company of these creatures is time that they won't be threatening others with their cancerous philosophy.
