Comix At Foxwoods Welcomes Stephen Lynch Tonight
Whether he's singing an ode to "queer tattoos," telling his potential paramour all the things he won't be doing for her, or lamenting his new vegan lifestyle, Stephen Lynch will always consider himself "a musician trapped in the body of a comedian." Comix At Foxwoods will give guests the chance to witness his hilarity when he visits Fox Theater at Foxwoods tonight, Feb. 23, 2013 at 8 p.m.
Tickets for the highly-anticipated show are available for presale through Comix and Ticketmaster. Fans can purchase tickets in advance for $30, $42.50 and $55.
Lynch's unique blend of musical based comedy has earned him fiercely loyal fans around the world, who live to experience his sold-out live shows, four best-selling CDs, RIAA-certified Gold DVD and top-rated Comedy Central specials. His highly-anticipated fifth album, "Lion," was released in November 2012 and contains 13 new tracks, with studio and live versions of each. The album's live version was recorded at New York City's Symphony Space, and captures Lynch's fans hearing some of the material performed live for the first time.
In 2006, Lynch stepped onto the Broadway stage for the first time in the title role of "The Wedding Singer." His performance earned nominations for some of the highest honors in American Theatre, including the Drama League Award for Distinguished Performance, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical, as well as the highly coveted Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical.
Lynch's albums "A Little Bit Special," "Superhero," "The Craig Machine" and "3 Balloons" have sold hundreds of thousands of copies around the world. His first DVD, "Live at the El Rey," was certified Gold by RIAA, and he has toured with some of the biggest names in comedy, including Lewis Black and the late Mitch Hedberg. Additionally, he has headlined his own sold out shows throughout the United States, Australia and Europe, where it's been said he's "the Beyonce of Scandinavia."
Tickets are available online at www.comixatfoxwoods.com; by calling the Foxwoods Box Office at 800-200-2882; or in person at the Comix, Fox Theater or MGM Grand Theater Box Offices.

The trade deadline is now less than 6 weeks away, and the engines on the rumor mill have started churning. On Wednesday, Brian Cashman discussed the Yankees' plans for the deadline with Ken Davidoff, saying "we usually make moves every year, so I expect to make moves" when asked what he expected. As for how aggressive the Yankees will be, I guess this statement from Cash sums it up best:
"I feel that we do have the ability to make trades if that's a route we so choose. How we line up with other clubs, I don't know … but I definitely have people that are wanted within the industry. But we want those guys, too. We'll see."
Cash is no fool when it comes to playing the media game. He isn't going to tip his hand. But we all know what the Yankees' biggest needs are (starting pitcher, infielder/backup first baseman, right fielder) and we know they're going to look to fill some of those needs. …

Apple Q3 2011 conference call set for Tuesday
Apple has announced their Q3 2011 conference call will take place Tuesday, July 19, 2011, 2:00 p.m. PDT/5:00 p.m. EDT. We'll get updated iPhone and iPad sales numbers, almost certainly, and it will be interesting to see if Apple gets asked any questions about the Lodsys lawsuits... the kind Google's Larry Page completely non-answered yesterday during the Google's results call.
As always, we'll cover highlights for you right here on TiPb. Anyone care to make any predictions?

Apple Q3 2011 conference call set for Tuesday
LOL you should have waited like me, i have an iPhone but i need a new one and am waiting until august to see if they at least announce a new one so ill wait a bit longer for iPhone 4s or whatever its called.
I don't pay that much attention to the financial side of things. Anybody have speculation on whether it benefits Apple to release Lion before or after this?
Is this the conferences where they announce bullshit updates like little things or big things such as a new iPhone ( WHICH they really need to announce fast cuz am buying a new white iPhone 4 this august ) or iPad.
Expect another quarter of record earnings that exceed expectations..........Google can have #1 market share for OS, and I assume as long as the success continues with Apple Stevie and Co. will be fine with that.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 12/5/12
HOUSTON -- In complete control for the majority of Tuesday's game, the Los Angeles Lakers collapsed down the stretch and watched the Houston Rockets swipe an improbable 107-105 victory at Toyota Center on Tuesday night. It was not the way the Lakers hoped to open a three-game road trip. The Rockets (9-8) trailed by as many as 17 points and didn't take their first lead until Toney Douglas drilled a corner 3-pointer with 2:38 remaining. That basket pushed the Rockets in front 100-99, and while the Lakers pulled ahead on a pair of Dwight Howard free throws 29 seconds later, their momentum was squandered by another stretch of lackluster play. Howard missed half of his 10 fourth-quarter free-throw attempts as the Rockets purposely fouled him as part of their rallying strategy. The Lakers (8-10) made one basket following a Kobe Bryant driving layup with 3:37 left: a Bryant 3-pointer that cut the deficit to 106-105 with 13.3 seconds remaining. Los Angeles, which lost for the third ...

Jon Runyan Jr. has committed to the Wolverines
I predict I'll be the 4th to post this by the time it goes through.
Jon Runyan Jr. has committed to the Wolverines
I predict I'll be the 4th to post this by the time it goes through.
Honest question: Is this good news?
what is your username and why does it show up as intergalactic font?
plus a lot of mgopoints. Equals?
Lol. I was just kidding. I know what Korean is. Can't you see that my avatar is a protoss zealot!!!! Anyone who plays SC knows what Korean is!!
boyz n da pahokee → thorin → mgovideo → 토린 (torin)
Reason: Korean has no θ sound.
True. In addition, Korean doesn't have a straight "r" sound. It's more of a mix between an "r" and a "l". But close enough.
So, is it pronounced Tollin?
Never question 토린, who is responsible for the best source of Michigan video on the internet.
The Magnus will tell us.
I'd rather have Mangus give his evaluation.
I would rather have magnus give me a handjob... it would be more valuable than his take on a sophmore in high school...
love you,
Mike Cox would have won five Heismans if he had Runyan Jr. blocking for him.
That is great for you. I would rather his insight.
I don't swing that way, but to each his own. You're going to have to settle for my analysis and get your handjobs from some other dude.
I don't see nothing wrong with a little mangus grindin'...
anyway, I was just stating that i would rather get jerked off by a stranger than read an assement of a high school sophmore by someone who has probably never seen him live and in person...
that said, I don't hate on magnus and occasionally I find him inciteful (yep inciteful) but the chodes who clamour for your opinion are embarrassing...
love you all,
I'm sure there are plenty of "analysts" who have never seen him in person. If you're only going to value the opinions of guys who see every one of these recruits in person, then you're not going to value many opinions. I'm guessing our very own Ace and Brian are two of those guys who haven't seen Runyan (or many of these players) in person.
The argument that "You haven't seen this guy in person" is mostly hogwash. That's how college coaches do their recruiting. If you run through the list of guys Michigan has offered over the years, how many of them do you think Michigan has watched play in person? They probably haven't seen very many guys outside of Michigan and Ohio play football games, and not many of them at camp, either. I wouldn't be surprised if they've never seen Da'Shawn Hand or Jabrill Peppers play football in person, and those are two of their biggest targets.
I'm not too big on analyst anyway... inherently they have make their 'customers' happy.
I don't even have a problem with you magnus; I figure you obviously know a little something and you are willing to put the time in ( a disturbingly high amount of time, but whatever). I do think that some of the lemmings on this website are a complete joke and were the people I intended to make fun of with my initial post...
That said please don't pretend to be on par with the coaches and the amount of scouting they do. Unless you have access to game film for the players we recruit then I have to assume you are going off of highlight film, individual games you can get your hands on, camp film, and probably the writing of a million different people at all the other sites (247, rivals, whatever)...
handjobs for everyone,
I'm not claiming to be on the same level as college coaches.
What I'm saying is that your criticism of "You haven't seen him in person" is irrelevant.
If you want to argue that I don't have access to ENOUGH film, that's a different discussion.
how much film do you really have access too?
and as a follow up: how much time do you really have to devote to watching said film?
I have access to Youtube, Hudl, and Rivals video. Occasionally I see some of these guys in person.
I can't really give you an answer to the second question. It depends on various factors.
sounds good.
The coaches probably consider anyone they've offered for 2015 as "Plan A" guys, and they probably knew that if they offered this kid he'd jump on that offer, so they obviously wanted him.
The coaches consider this to be good news, therefore I do too.
I'm not sure if it's paywalled, but 247 has a breakdown on him. I seem to be in a half-subscribed limbo and I'm not sure what's available. Anyway, here's one tidbit:
Agreed - super early offer plus in-person evaluation at camp plus his dad was a Michigan legend and long time NFL player means this is certainly a good thing.
Unfortunately I will call him Jon Jansen Jr at least once because I always got those two confused.
Just remember that Runyan rhymes with Paul Bunyan. Convince yourself he's a giant with a big blue ox and you will never forgot. RUNYAN THE GIANT.
For the team: Yes
For me: No, because I remember being at house parties with his father in 1994; which means I am old.
We were probably at some of the same parties then.
I was at some party in some guy's apartment in 1993, and I went into the bathroom to do #1. While I'm in there, somebody comes and bangs on the door. I say, "I''ll be out in a minute," but the guy just keeps on banging. So then I think, "well if this guy can't be patient, then I'll just take my sweet time." So I leisuirely finish my piss, wash my hands (thoroughly), and then as I open the door I am prepared to give the guy a mouthful. But as soon as the door opens, the largest human I have ever seen up close is angrily towering over me. All I can say is, "whoah, dude--how tall are you?" He looks down and gruffly replies, "that's not a wise question to ask." I go across the room and ask somebody who the giant is that just went into the bathroom, and am told, "Oh, that's Jon Runyan. He just likes to mess with people."
Worked with random woman who claimed to once date a UM OL from Florida during that time. I guess he didn't play much but thinking she was bullshitting I politely asked who else she knew. She was also from Florida and knew nothing about football but rattled off half the team from that general 3 year era. Even knew Griese was kind of a dick and her bf was recruited by "some guy named Les Miles" (whooole other story on him). Anyway, she named Runyan as maybe the nicest guy on the team and said he was a proud and outspoken virgin until marriage guy and many respected that. Question being if, general partying aside, he was a good dude and not a dick jock? Thanks as this woman told me some funny/crazy stories with the stories about Miles confirming my never wanting him to be our HC.
Do tell.
if mods/posters are ok with it. will have to be a bit later as it's too much to tap type by phone.
I'm guessing Noah Parker (OG - Milton, FL - 1994-98)? The only other OL from Florida from that era are Rod Payne, Steve Everitt, and Steve Hutchinson all of whom played a lot.
Noah Parker was a really, really nice guy. Absolute class act.
that is him
Runyan went to Flint Carman-Aimsworth HS and graduated the same year as me. He dated a girl from my nearby hometown of Mount Morris for a few years towards the end of HS and into college. He went to our senior prom. I was a 6'2" left tackle myself...dude absolutely dwarfed me. Once waited on him at McDonald's and looked him square in the sternum. Cool Story Bro.
I enjoy stories like Mark in Mt Morris described and I don't think it's necessary for someone always needing to defend themselves from telling a story on a message board by saying that, even if there are a couple of snobs here that will get mad for posting it
If you post a personal tale, expect someone to say cool story, bro. It just is what it is. I like to read them as well. However, in this case, I do have one qualm. What kind of a McDonald's has actual waiters?
Mark, my dad taught at Carman-Ainsworth and had Runyan as a student. Probably you too. I've met John a few times along with some of the other people that played on that team. So, I wonder if we have met. I myself didn't go to Carmen-Ainsworth.
I remember sitting in a class during the first day of my sophomore or maybe junior year at UM, and the professor is taking attendance. It's one of those situations where the class is full and there are a bunch of waitlisted people in the classroom on the first day to see if they can get it, so the professor is just trying to figure out whether any of the registered students failed to show so that he can admit people from the waiting list. Anyway, he is running through the Gs and eventually calls off, "Gree-zee."
A voice from the back of the room calls back, "It's Gree-zee," as in, he's correcting the professor's pronounciation of the name, even though the professor had it right to first time. So the professor repeats, "Brian Gree-zee," and again Greise "corrects" him. The professor then just moved onto the next name.
Based on that, as well as various stories I heard about Greise trying to pick up women at Scorekeepers using the line, "Do you know who I am?", I didn't have a very high opinion of the dude for some time. However, I didn't really know Greise myself, and I did have a few friends who knew him well and, by the end of my four years, they really liked the guy.
Looking back, I think it may have been one of those situations where Greise came into college as kind of a brash, arrogant kid--and then matured significantly after some humbling experiences. Besides, I kind of look back at the 20-year-old version of myself and think, "man, I was a real douchebag back then." So I have come to have a pretty high opinion of Greise nowadays. And for the same reason, I tend not to be too critical of some of the dumb things players and recruits will do and say--and have all the more respect for guys like Denard and Devin, who handle themselves gracefully from day one.
Yeah not so sure. Griese must have used the "don't you know who I am?" line a lot. I've personally heard it even after his college playing days were over. He was drunk and belligerent at the time so who knows must have been his "go to" phrase.
Afraid to have a drink or many.
involved alcohol and assclown behavior. If ok I will say all she told me and maybe others can verify but based on her knowing zero about fb, she knew names and general positions and had stories of great detail that when told made me go from "yeah right...." to believing her completely. Considering length, where should I post it when at my laptop?
Interesting stuff. I think stories like that (along with the more public ones) make the moments when Bob is getting choked up at the end of the 1997 season (while calling games) all the more special. It had to be such a bigger deal for him to see how his son matured on and off the field.
Interestingly, I went to college (private school in South Carolina) with a girl who purported to be a distant cousin of Bob and Brian, and she pronounced her name Gri-zay.
If I remember correctly, Greise was a walk-on. Is that correct? Does anyone remember his recruitment story? Why not follow in his dad's footsteps at Purdue or stick closer to his high school area in southern Florida?
Jim Harbaugh hit on a girlfriend of mine at a party when he was in school. She was RC and not at all a football fan so her blase answer was 'no I don't -- where's the keg?'.
too. Man he was one angry dude after that Colorado game. I used his clubs golfing and that was awkward for a 5'9" guy. Felt like I could hardly see the ball it was so far away.

The 12 Sexiest (Famous) Female Scientologists
Some have converted for marriage and other were born with Scientologist parents, but all of these women are open, proud and card carrying Scientologists. So in one place, here are the hottest celebrity female Scientologists the world has ever seen (thus far).
Rank Name
- Tip: Navigate with your { left and right } arrow keys1EDIT: NO LONGER A SCIENTOLOGIST
First of all, for everything you need to know about Scientology (in case you're unaware or undereducated about the movement, check out Stuff You Should Know: The Church of Scientology.
Katie Holmes. Oh, Katie Holmes. You are the hottest because you are Joey from Dawson's Creek and I will never grow up.
The adorable Katie Holmes, who was raised Roman Catholic (which, by the looks of this list, is the perfect gateway religion to Scientology), joined the Church of Scientology shortly after Tom Cruise put her in his clutches and tried to keep her in his castle forever. She escaped when they divorced in 2012.
Strangely, right after she got together with Cruise, she fired her long-time manager and agent and hired her new "best friend," Jessica Rodriguez, who is from a prominent family of Scientologists.
Holmes and Cruise were married in 2006 at the 15th-century Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy, in a Scientology ceremony that, much like that of Kelly Preston and John Travolta, wasn't valid "legally" (probably for the same reasons that my Jedi wedding to my wife Trolgda isn't valid).
The couple actually validated their marriage in Los Angeles the day before the Italian ceremony, but didn't make it MySpace official (it was 2006) until after the Scientology ceremony.l< << PREV 1 of 12 NEXT >>

George Bush faces a bleak closing chapter of his presidency. The Democrats need only gain control of one house to start launching investigations into 9/11, the Iraq war and its searing aftermath, the financial scandals, the sexual scandals - you name it, they can subject the White House to torture-by-inquiry. A Democrat majority in the House will almost certainly give the chairmanship of the judiciary committee to John Conyers who has previously called for the impeachment of the President.
George Bush is set to spend his last two years in the White House besieged by searing probes into his presidency. That would be a fitting fate for a President famous for his unwillingness or inability to focus on detail and his lack of curiosity about the consequences of his own decisions. The neck lock will then be on George W Bush.

Your car's turbo or turbocharger is a device that increases your engine's power by pumping air into the combustion chamber. Having a turbo in your car makes the vehicle more powerful and efficient. Your turbocharger is driven by the engine's exhaust gas turbine. It functions with the help of components like the inlet and compressor wheel, oil inlet, turbine wheel and housing, blow-off valves and wastegates.
The air is forced into the inlet and rotated by the compressor wheel, making it highly dense. The hot air then enters the turbine inlet. The hot air spins the turbine wheel creating back pressure and causes a higher pressure on the exhaust. The wastegate, a bypass valve for the exhaust to flow from the turbine wheel, controls the boost pressure of the engine. The oil inlet of the turbo helps in running the device smoothly. The blow-off valve prevents the compressor from thrust bearing failure.
You must regularly check your car's turbocharger to make sure it is functioning properly. If you hear a whistling sound from your car, check for gas or air leakages that can affect the turbocharger. In such cases, you need to replace your car's turbocharger as soon as possible. At Car Parts Warehouse we stock a wide variety of turbo installation kits for every car make and model. Our turbo installation kits come with all the parts necessary to replace your car's turbo.
We have genuine OEM replacements and premium aftermarket parts. All our car parts are thoroughly tested and come with a warranty. To view the parts that fit your vehicle, select the right year, make and model of your car on our online catalog. At Car Parts Warehouse you will find high-quality turbo installation kits at unbeatable prices, and free shipping.

Gear Review

This thing rips!
I rode this board the other day at Loveland here in Colorado. There was probably close to a foot of fresh and this thing killed it. I was on the 157 gullwing and it turned harder than most full cambered boards and floated like my big board. The gullwing on this board is mellower than the gullwing on the pro series or team. There is only a little bit of reverse camber between the bindings and then normal regular camber on the nose and tail. It was just enough to keep me floating, but didn't washout at all if I got in the back seat or loopy. This thing is really aggressive though. There were a couple times I got a little lazy and this board definitely let me know that. The blacklight would be perfect for someone looking for a hard charging all mountain killer. Oh yea, this thing is f'in fast!

Frey, William H. 2002. "Metro Magnets for Minorities and Whites: Melting Pots, the New Sunbelt, and the Heartland." PSC Research Report No. 02-496. February 2002.
The recent census trends make apparent that the US is not close to becoming a single melting pot, where each minority group both spreads and blends evenly from coast to coast. Rather than forming a homogenous, national melting pot, America's racial demographic landscape is becoming more distinctly regional in its makeup. As such, commentators, marketers and political analysts will need to make distinctions between the nation's "Multiple Melting Pots", its more suburban-like "New Sunbelt," its predominantly white " Heartland".
This report examines 1990-2000 changes in racial concentration and change among the nation's metropolitan areas, and counties to support this view. It identifies only a handful of metropolitan areas with demographic profiles that qualify them as potential "melting pots" and even fewer where the population turned to a "majority minority" since the previous decennial census.
Recent regional racial shifts make plain that: as blacks return to the South, as melting pot regions become infused with more immigrants, as the New Sunbelt attracts more coastal suburbanites, and as the non-growing northern heartland remains mostly white, America's regions are evolving in decidedly different directions. It is important for commentators, political analysts, and those that monitor consumer behavior to take cognizance of these sharp regional divisions, rather than maintaining the illusion of a national melting pot.

Pura Vida!
Hi! My name is Anuj and my current obsessions include: Planet Fitness, running around the National mall with my Nike app, cooking healthy experiments, meditation, Bhangra, planning 30th birthday/bachelor parties, baking rum cake for coworkers, Banh Mi sandwiches, $1 Megabus rides to NY, serving others, hiking through Shenandoah, catching up on Game of Thrones/Walking Dead/Breaking Bad/The League, quoting Family Guy, and DC food trucks! My friends and family would describe me as enthusiastic, creative, ridiculously good looking, great dancer, and ...insert your favorite characteristic here... (examples: warm, funny, clever, playful, intelligent, generous, outgoing, optimistic, etc) haha With a light heart and witty sense of humor, I love bringing life to the party and like to organize happy hours, dinners, and Caribbean trips to bring everyone together. Just a warning--I have a lot of energy on the dance floor and will not let you just remain on the sidelines! I have met some amazing people in my life and have accomplished a lot. I am fortunate to have been surrounded by amazingly supportive family/friends and abundant unconditional love throughout my life. My glass is full right now-- so I want to share it with the world! I am looking for a companion in this crazy thing we call life-- who similarly enjoys having an impact on the world, has a passion for learning, can complement my energy/creativity, inspire me to be a better human being, and broaden my love for sarcastic humor, music/dance, and spicy food!

Bhangra drives my rhythm and Family Guy underlies my sense of humor. Those two allow me to stay grounded and not take life's struggles too seriously. Also, if I am fed Sambar Vada and Chole Bature on a regular basis, I am a happy man :-)
Photography, Tabla, Snowboarding, Yankees, Giants, Knicks, McSorleys, Kati Roll, and the energy of NYC; Also, love watching movies (Office Space and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander are my favorites), Entourage, Dexter, Lost, and Seinfeld

Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record says that the Rangers lack of information on Clowe makes it more and more likely he's dealing with a concussion. ...man, Clowe's physical game is perfect for playoffs. A prolonged absence due to a concussion would be a huge blow to the Rangers playoff success. ...also wonder where Boyle fits in right now. I don't think it's a given that he'll get right back into the line-up once healthy. Gross adds that Derek Dorsett underwent a CT scan on his broken clavicle but was not cleared for contact. Here's Dorsett on his status (via Daily News)...

United States Patent 8 Claims. (C1,. 260-873) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention is concerned with a process for the manufacture of impact-resistant polyethylene terephthalate products by homogeneously incorporating polyethylene into the polyester used for injection molding.
This application is a continuation-in-part of our copending application with Hilmar Roedel, Ser. No. 296,- 380, filed July 19, 1963, now Patent No. 3,361,848 the disclosure of which is included herein by reference as fully as if it were set forth in its entirety.
Attempts have been made to produce molded articles from fiber-forming polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, and it is therefore known that the molten polyester can be molded by using the well-known injection molding process. However, at the present time, injection molded polyester products of this type have not been acceptable from a technical or commercial viewpoint because they exhibit poor dimensional stability and an unsatisfactory impact-strength, especially when subjected to temperatures above 100 C. for a prolonged period of time.
A particular object of the invention is to provide a process for making injection molded parts or articles from a normally fiber-forming polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate wherein improved impact strength is imparted to the molded product. Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for making injection molded polyethylene terephthalate products which have an improved impact strength even when subjected to elevated temperatures over a long period of time. Still another object of the invention is to provide impact-resistant injection molded polyethylene terephthalate products which exhibit improved dimensional stability. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a process for the injection molding of a fiber-forming polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate wherein it is possible to reduce the cylinder temperature or temperature of the molten polyester during injection molding,
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will become more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed specification.
It has now been found, in accordance with the present invention, that the foregoing objects and advantages can be achieved by injection molding polyethylene terephthalate as a molten composition in which there has been homogeneously distributed from 0.5 to 50% by weight, preferably about to 40% by weight, of finely divided polyethylene. Particularly good results are achieved, in accordance with this invention, if there is also incorporated into the molding composition approximately 1 to 5% by weight of a polyolefin selected from the class con- 3,405,198 Patented Oct. 8, 1968 "ice sisting of polypropylene and poly-4-methylpentene. In both instances, the percentages by weight of the added polyolefin are calculated with reference to the Weight of the polyethylene terephthalate.
Polyethylene terephthalate is a readily available fiberforming polyester and is therefore representative of the fiber-forming polyesters which are obtained by polycondensing a saturated diol ester of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid as described more fully in the above-noted copending application. Various modified polyesters consisting essentially of polyethylene terephthalate are also quite suitable for the purposes of the present invention.
It can be readily shown that the impact strength of polyethylene terephthalate generally increases with increasing relative viscosity of the polyester. It is therefore especially desirable for purposes of the present invention to use a polyethylene terephthalate having a relative viscosity of about 1.8 to 2.1, since one thereby achieves maximum values of impact strength.
The polyethylene modifying agent used in the process of the invention preferably has a molecular weight of about 10,000 to 70,000, and for purposes of dimensioned stability, the polyethylene should have a second order transition point which is substantially below the second order transition point of the polyester. In general, this second order transition point of the polyethylene will fall in a range of about C. to +20 C. The polyethylene can be prepared quite easily by conventional or known processes, and the achievement of special properties such as particle size and density can be readily accomplished by a skilled chemist.
Particularly good results are achieved with the process of the present invention so as to achieve especially high impact strength values and very good dimensional stability if one uses a polyethylene terephthalate injection molding composition which contains 10 to 30% by weight of polyethylene. Although good properties of impact resistance are imparted to the polyethylene terephthalate by polyethylene additions below 10% by weight, it was quite surprising to find that impact strength values could again be considerably increased by adding polyethylene in an amount of more than about 10% by weight up to approximately 30% by weight. It was also surprising that these larger amounts of the polyethylene modifying agent could be uniformly and homogeneously worked into the polyester without any tendency for the individual polymers to separate from each other and without any need for using special techniques during injection molding for producing flawless injection molded products. Above this preferred range of 10-30% by weight, the impact strength values again begin to decrease and it is sometimes difficult to obtain proper homogenization of the injection molding composition. However, by using finely divided polyethylene and proper mixing devices which provide a very intensive homogenization of the polyester and the polyethylene, it has been possible to incorporate even more than 50% by weight of polyethylene in a satisfactory manner.
It was further found, in accordance with the present invention, that the degree of improvement in the impact strength and notched impact strength of the injection molded polyethylene terephthalate products are not only dependent upon the additive amount of polyethylene, but it is also necessary to take into consideration the specific weight or specific gravity of the polyethylene used as the modifying agent. The impact-resistance of the injection molded products can thus be varied depending upon the particular specific weight of the polyethylene. Particularly. favorable results are achieved by using polyethylene polymers having a low density, i.e. a low specific weight. In particular, it is desirable to use polyethylene which has a specific weight of approximately 0.915 to 0.930 as the modifying agent added to the injection molding composition.
The polyethylene can be added to the polyester during its initial preparation. For example, the addition of polyethylene may occur at the beginning or during the initial stages of the polycondensation of the diglycol terephthalate into a high molecular weight polyester. On the other hand, a somewhat simplified procedure is achieved by mixing both of the components, i.e. the polyester and the polyethylene, in the form of granules or powder which are melt blended together under conditions of intensive mixing. In order to avoid complications, the mixing or homogenizing of the polyester and the polyethylene should be accomplished after first decreasing the water content of the polymers, preferably below 0.01% by weight of water. Likewise, it is advisable to avoid contact of the molten polymers with atmospheric oxygen, for example by carrying out the mixing in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen.
An especially homogeneous distribution of both components in one another is achieved if the granulated or powdery mixture is melted with a screw extruder wherein high shearing forces guarantee a very intensive mixing of the molten material. Also, it is very helpful to use a finely divided polyethylene with a very small particle size, for example from about 1 to 10 microns. It will be appreciated that a high degree of homogenization is desirable in order to achieve uniform molding compositions, and the impact resistance of the molded products is likewise improved by maintaining a high degree of homogenization.
The homogenized molten mixture of the polyester and polyethylene can either be directly injection molded or it can again be brought into granular form. This latter procedure is generally referred to as reverse granulation or simply regranulation. Further melt blending of the components can be accomplished by such regranulation and can also be carried out in a screw extruder under high shearing forces so as to be certain of obtaining a very homogeneous mixture.
In using the modified polyester molding composition of the present invention, it is possible to use any of the known process steps and variations of the injection molding process without any special measures or restrictions. Throughout all of the mixing, processing and molding steps to be used in accordance with the present invention, it is naturally important to avoid contact of the composition with moisture or air, particularly when the composition is in the molten state. Both the polyethylene and the polyethylene terephthalate may, of course, contain the usual matting agents and stabilizing additives such as heat stabilizers. Naturally, these other additives should also be distributed as finely as possible in the polymers, for example in the form of very fine particles.
The addition of the polyethylene modifying agent to the injection molding composition in accordance with the present invention also usually improves the dimensional stability, at least to an extent such that the injection molded products not only exhibit excellent impact-resistance but also satisfactory dimensional stability. For purposes of the present invention, it is generally desirable to heat set the injection molded product by subjecting it to an elevated temperature above about 100 C., i.e. at a temperature above the second order transition point of the polyester.
Especially good properties of impact strength, notched impact strength and also dimensional stability are obtained if in addition to the polyethylene additive one also homogeneously distributes in the polyethylene terephthalate injection molding composition approximately 1 to 5% by weight of finely divided polypropylene or poly- 4-methylpentene. The addition of these particular polymers of longer chain mono-olefins, i.e. polyolefins of 3 to 6 carbon atom monoolefins, has a specially favorable effect on the dimensional stability of the injection molded products once they have been heat set. Not only is an enhanced dimensional stability obtained by this combination of the polyethylene with the other polyolefins, but also there is no impairment of the impact resistance as can result when adding only polypropylene or poly-4- methylpentene to the polyethylene terephthalate. In this respect, there appears to exist a certain synergistic effect in this combination of polyethylene and the other polyolefin additives. This particular embodiment of the invention is especially desirable where one wishes to achieve injection molded polyethylene terephthalate products which require both high impact strength and also accurately profiled and dimensionally stable molded articles.
The polyolefins of 3 to 6 carbon atom monoolefins can be introduced into the polyester before adding the polyethylene. However, they may also be added to the polyethylene terephthalate in admixture with the polyethylene, or they may even be added to the polyethylene-containing injection molding composition. Most importantly, both types of polyolefins must be thoroughly mixed into the polyester to provide an injection molding composition which is as homogeneous as possible. Therefore, when using a combination of polyolefins, it is also highly desirable that they be added in very finely divided form and then mixed under high shear stresses or even regranulated if necessary.
The relative viscosity of the polyethylene terephthalate, sometimes referred to as the solution viscosity, has been measured throughout this specification as a 1% solution of the polyester in m-cresol at 25 C. The relative viscosity of the polyethylene is measured in a 0.1% solution of the polymer in Decalin at C. The values for the specific weight or specific gravity of the polyethylene is measured at a temperature of 20 C.
The following examples provide a further detailed explanation of the invention. All percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
EXAMPLE 1 Several samples of 9.5 kg. each of polyethylene terephthalate with varying relative viscosity were mixed in granular form with 500 g. each of dry polyethylene particles having a density of 0.960, subsequently melted and molded into a strand by extruding and homogenizing with a single screw extruder at 270-280 C., and after cooling in water cut into granules. By gentle heating in vacuo and under a nitrogen atmosphere, the water content of the melt blended polymer mixture was brought below 0.01%. With the aid of a piston operated injection molding machine, the resulting injection molding composition was molded into standard test bars with dimensions of 4 mm. x 6 mm. x 50 mm., which were subjected to the following tests. Unmodified polyethylene terephthalate was injection molded in the same way for comparison.
First, the impact strength and the notched impact strength were determined according to DIN specification 53453 with striking pendulum 0.4 in accordance with DIN specification 51222 on the freshly produced test bars. This test showed in all instances an impact strength lying above 210 cm. kg./cm. so that all of the bars passed the test unbroken. The values for the notched impact strength are contained in Table l.
60 freshly produced test bars each were then subjected for 60 minutes to a temperature of C. and thereafter, the impact strength was tested on 30 bars and the notched impact strength on the remaining 30 bars. The resulting data is also incorporated in Table 1 below. Each value of strength in this table represents the arithmetic average of 30 tests. For unbroken bars, a value of 210 cm. kg./cm. was assumed.

of the polyester Polyester Polyester Polyester Polyester Polyester Polyester unmodified with polyunmodified with polyunmodified with polyethylene ethylene ethylene The results shown in this table clearly demonstrate the EXAMPLE 4 substantial improvement of impact resistance of injection molded polyethylene terephthalate articles which can be achieved when modified with only by weight of polyethylene.
EXAMPLE 2 Polyethylene terephthalate injection molding compositions were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 in which an amount of 5 percent by weight of polyethylene was added. In this instance, there was used a polyethylene having a specific weight of 0.918. The test bars produced from the homogenized injection molding material were subjected to the same tests as described in Example 1. The results are contained in Table 2. The number of bars that remained unbroken in the impact strength tests is indicated in parentheses after the strength values determined as an arithmetic average of 30 individual tests.
If one compares the test values of this table with the test values of Table 1, it is possible to clearly recognize the advantageous use of a polyethylene having a lower density. Compared with the test results shown in Table l of moldings made of unmodified polyethylene terephthalate, it will be noted that the impact resistance has again tripled in some instances.
EXAMPLE 3 16 kg. of polyethylene terephthalate having a solution viscosity of 1.75 were homogenized in a conventional blender with 4 kg. polyethylene having a solution viscosity of 0.86, a density of 0.918 and a melt index of 13.16 g./ min. measured according to ASTM specification Dl23857T at 230 C. with a piston of 2180 g., and then dried in the same manner as described in Example 1. Using a screw injection molding machine, the homogenous mixture was molded into standard test bars of the same dimensions described in Example 1, and these bars were then tested in the same manner. The resulting values for the impact strength and notched impact strength according to DIN specification 53453 are contained in Table 3.
TABLE 3 Relative viscosity of the polyester 1.75 Notched impact strength in cm. kg./cm.
Before heat treatment 7.6
After 60 min. at 140 C 4.6 Impact strength in cm. kg./cm.
Before heat treatment 210(30) After 60 min. at 140 C 210(30) Compared with the values measured on injection molded test bars made from unmodified polyethylene terephthalate, the impact resistance of the modified polyester product is more than four times as high as clearly indicated by referring to the test results of Table 1.
Several samples of dried polyethylene terephthalate chips having a relative viscosity of 1.75 were mixed with varying amounts of from 1 to 50 percent by weight of polyethylene particles having a density of 0.918, melted and homogenized in a double screw extruder at 280 C., formed into strands and granulated after having been resolidified. The resulting granules, dried to values of below 0.01% water content, were molded into test bars by means of a piston operated injection molding machine. The cylinder temperature of the injection molding machine could be considerably lowered with increasing amounts of polyethylene added as the modifying agent. While a cylinder temperature of 260 C. was required in processing unmodified polyethylene terephthalate, it was possible to lower the cylinder temperature to 250 C. when modifying the polyester with 2.5% by weight of polyethylene. With an added amount of 40 percent by weight of polyethylene the required cylinder temperature was only 220 C. The initial standard test bars were subjected for one hour to atemper-ature of C., and the notched impact strength was then determined according to DIN 53453 with striking pendulum 0.4 in accordance with DIN 51222. Table 4 below contains the test results measured as the arithmetic average of 30 samples for each value.
TABLE 4 Polyethylene added to polyester, percent by weight:
Notched impact stregnth in cm. kg./cm. after 60 min.
This table again shows the superiority of the process according to the invention. Additional tests showed that one can also work with even larger amounts of polyethylene. However, with moldings having more than 50 percent by weight of polyethylene, there may occur an undesirable fibrillation.
In the above-noted copending application, dimensional stability at elevated temperatures of the injection molded polyester is improved by the addition of up to 10 percent by weight of high molecular weight polypropylene or poly-4-methylpentene. With this technique, it is possible to achieve injection moldings which keep their shape and remain practically unchanged in form even at temperatures above the second order transition point of the polyester. However, the impact strength of injection molded parts made out of such a modifiedpolyethylene terephthalate is lower than the impact strength of injection moldings of an unmodified polyethylene terephthalate. This distinction is shown for purposes of comparison in the following example.
EXAMPLE 5 Followin the same procedure as in the previous examples, 5 percent by weight of polypropylene was homogeneously melt blended with various samples of polyethylene terephthalate having different relative viscosities. The melt blended mixture was then injection molded to form standard test bars which were then tested for impact strength in accordance with DIN-specification 53453 after the test bars had been subjected to a temperature of 140 C. for 60 minutes. The results of this test series are listed in Table wherein each value of impact strength is based upon an average of 30 test samples.
TABLE 5 Impact-strength in cm. kgJcm.
Relative viscosity of the From the data of Table 5, it will be apparent that the addition of polypropylene causes a decrease in the impact resistance of the injection moldings, this decrease becoming more pronounced with increasing relative viscosity of the initial polyester. Similar comparative tests with the addition of poly-4-methylpentene likewise resulted only in an improvement of the dimensional stability of the molded articles without any improvement of impact strength. It was therefore quite surprising to discover that the addition of polyethylene to the polyester within the scope of this invention would permit a very substantial increase in the impact strength of the injection molded products.
Especially favorable results in terms of achieving both good dimensional stability and high impact strength have been achieved in tests carried out with the addition of up to about 5% by weight of polypropylene or poly-4- methylpentene to the polyethylene-containing injection molding composition. In this case, it is especially desirable to use at least 5 up to about 40% by weight of polyethylene, and most preferably about to 30% by weight of polyethylene, all percentages being taken with reference to the initial polyethylene terephthalate.
EXAMPLE 6 As described in the previous examples polyethylene terephthalate was mixed in granular form with 5 percent by weight of polypropylene and 10 percent by weight of polyethylene having a density of 0.918 and homogenized by melt blending. From this material standard test bars were formed by injection molding and tested in the usual manner. Compared with the modified polyester listed in Table 5 these test bars showed a 50 to 100 percent higher impact strength.
From the foregoing description, it will be noted that the selection of polyethylene as the modifying agent for polyethylene terephthalate leads to unexpectedly impactresistant injection molded products. It is possible without any difficulty to triple the impact strength of polyester injection moldings. In fact, the impact resistance frequently reaches such high values that even under standard test conditions all of the test bars remain unbroken as occurred, for example, in Example 3 above. The present invention therefore provides injection molded polyester articles which are well adapted for commercial and technical use under conditions requiring high impact strength. The notched impact strength of the molded articles is also quite high, thereby permitting the injection molded polyester to be used in such applications as protective housings which are subjected to great stress or in machine parts used for transmitting power. Of course, the injection molded polyesters of the present invention are also quite suitable for manufacturing high quality household goods. Furthermore, because the polyethylene modifying agent has such a strong effect on the impact resistant characteristics of the injection moldings, any number of valuable articles can be manufactured by taking advantage of the relatively low viscosity of the modified polyethylene terephthalate. Moreover, the addition of polyethylene to the polyethylene terephthalate offers the advantage that injection molding compositions can be formed wherein increasing amounts of the polyethylene permit the molding temperature to be substantially decreased with a corresponding facilitation of the molding procedure and with less possibility of damage which might be caused by overheating. Finally, by using a combination of polyolefins essentially including both polyethylene and polypropylene or poly-4-methylpentene, it is possible to achieve especially desirable injection molded products exhibiting excellent properties of both dimensional stability and impact resistance.

Publisher's Description
After years of observation, I have concluded that so many local churches function without regard to their God-given, biblical mission and objectives because of their unclear mission, their unbiblical targets, or their unbalanced objectives.
The Lord God has already given His church a clearly defined mission for the present age. Yet so many local churches seem to function without understanding their biblical missiontheir God-directed reason for existencewhile other local churches and their leaders have revised or even compromised their God-given mission, thinking that they know better than God.
Some churches disband Sunday school, dismantle the choir, and disassemble pews only to replace them with other programs and ideas that will become traditional soon enough. Traditions, customs, and worship styles vary from culture to culture and from generation to generation.
Ive been in the gospel ministry long enough to have seen the pendulum swing back and forth a time or two. So many ministries, programs, concepts, and styles are not new, but just repackaged. Todays new, fresh, blended methods will become traditional to the next generation after a short period of time.
Too often we are more involved in following the latest fad than we are in striving to do all to the glory of God. What really matters is whether you have presented a true and accurate opinion and view of the nature and character of God so that others will praise and exalt Him to His worthy place of honor, esteem, and excellence.
