Great rear tire for n.texas
-fast roller
-very puncture resistant
-corners as good as a rear tire needs to
-decent grip for climbs (which is more technique than anything)
-tread pattern promotes speed over traction for braking, you have to give up something
Great North Texas tire which is basically moon dust over hard pack. running this on the rear with a racing ralph up front and working good.
I like over the kenda small block 8 i was running in the rear before. the sb8 is fast, but damn it sucks for braking and climbing..
for the money it's a great rear tire.
Scott Pendleton
Have you tried flipping the tires around? They're directional like you say; put them one way and they're fast and flip them and they give you better braking traction. There are indicator arrows on the sidewall letting you know which direction is "speed" and which is "traction".

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
D. H. Lawrence's great autobiographical novel paints a provocative portrait of an artist torn between affection for his mother and desire for two beautiful women. Set in the Nottinghamshire coalfields of Lawrence's own boyhood, the story follows young Paul Morel's growth into manhood in a British working-class family.
Gertrude Morel, Paul's puritanical mother, concentrates all her love and attention on Paul, nurturing his talents as a painter. When she muses that he might marry someday and desert her, the attentive son swears he will never leave her. Then Paul falls in love—with not one woman but two—and must eventually choose between them.…
Amazon.com Review
Sons and Lovers was the first modern portrayal of a phenomenon that later, thanks to Freud, became easily recognizable as the Oedipus complex. Never was a son more indentured to his mother's love and full of hatred for his father than Paul Morel, D.H. Lawrence's young protagonist. Never, that is, except perhaps Lawrence himself. In his 1913 novel he grappled with the discordant loves that haunted him all his life--for his spiritual childhood sweetheart, here called Miriam, and for his mother, whom he transformed into Mrs. Morel. It is, by Lawrence's own account, a book aimed at depicting this woman's grasp: "as her sons grow up she selects them as lovers--first the eldest, then the second. These sons are urged into life by their reciprocal love of their mother--urged on and on. But when they come to manhood, they can't love, because their mother is the strongest power in their lives."
Of course, Mrs. Morel takes neither of her two elder sons (the first of whom dies early, which further intensifies her grip on Paul) as a literal lover, but nonetheless her psychological snare is immense. She loathes Paul's Miriam from the start, understanding that the girl's deep love of her son will oust her: "She's not like an ordinary woman, who can leave me my share in him. She wants to absorb him." Meanwhile, Paul plays his part with equal fervor, incapable of committing himself in either direction: "Why did his mother sit at home and suffer?... And why did he hate Miriam, and feel so cruel towards her, at the thought of his mother. If Miriam caused his mother suffering, then he hated her--and he easily hated her." Soon thereafter he even confesses to his mother: "I really don't love her. I talk to her, but I want to come home to you."
The result of all this is that Paul throws Miriam over for a married suffragette, Clara Dawes, who fulfills the sexual component of his ascent to manhood but leaves him, as ever, without a complete relationship to challenge his love for his mother. As Paul voyages from the working-class mining world to the spheres of commerce and art (he has fair success as a painter), he accepts that his own achievements must be equally his mother's. "There was so much to come out of him. Life for her was rich with promise. She was to see herself fulfilled... All his work was hers."
The cycles of Paul's relationships with these three women are terrifying at times, and Lawrence does nothing to dim their intensity. Nor does he shirk in his vivid, sensuous descriptions of the landscape that offers up its blossoms and beasts and "shimmeriness" to Paul's sensitive spirit. Sons and Lovers lays fully bare the souls of men and earth. Few books tell such whole, complicated truths about the permutations of love as resolutely without resolution. It's nothing short of searing to be brushed by humanity in this manner. --Melanie Rehak

Try these vegetarian tacos for dinner. Thought of by many as a weed, lamb's quarters, known as quelites in Mexico, is a tasty and nutritious green. If you can't find it, feel free to substitute Swiss chard. Be sure to have all your ingredients ready before you warm the tortillas, as the cooking of the filling goes very quickly.
8 to 10 corn tortillas, plus a few extra, in case some break
Coarse salt
9 cups (about 1 lb.) loosely packed, stemmed lamb's quarters (quelites) or 6 cups loosely packed, sliced green or red Swiss chard leaves (slice them 1/2" thick, you'll need a 12-oz. bunch)
1 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
1/2 lb. fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and thinly sliced
1 medium white onion, sliced 1/4" thick
3 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
3/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup finely crumbled goat cheese, plus more for garnish
3/4 cup Chipotle Tomatillo Verde Salsa, for serving (recipe follows)
Sprigs fresh cilantro, for garnish
Chipotle Tomatillo Verde Salsa
3 large cloves garlic, unpeeled
8 oz. (5 to 6 medium) tomatillos, husked and rinsed
3 to 6 canned chipotle chilies en adobo, stemmed and finely chopped
1/2 tsp coarse salt (optional)
1/4 tsp sugar (optional)
Step 1: Warm the tortillas. Set up a steamer (a vegetable steamer in a large saucepan filled with 1/2" of water works well) and heat to a boil. Wrap the tortillas in a heavy kitchen towel, lay it in the steamer, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Boil for 1 minute, turn off the heat, and let stand without opening the steamer for about 15 minutes.
Step 2: While the tortillas are steaming, prepare the filling. Bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add the greens and cook until barely tender, 1-2 minutes for the lamb's quarters, 1-2 minutes longer for the chard. Drain in a colander, then spread out on a large plate or baking sheet to cool. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop, if necessary, to fit into the taco.
Step 3: Heat the oil in a large (10"-12") skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, or until they release their liquid, then add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 1 minute. Add the chopped greens and broth and season with salt. Cook for about 3 minutes over medium-high heat, or until most of the liquid has cooked out.
Step 4: Remove the warm tortillas from the steamer and place in a cloth-lined basket. Transfer the greens into a deep, warm serving dish, sprinkle with the cheese, and serve at the table with the warm tortillas, a bowl of salsa, and a small plate of cilantro. Alternatively, you can spoon filling in the centre of the tortillas and roll them up around the filling. Arrange two on each plate, then spoon the salsa in a strip across their middles, sprinkle with more cheese, and top with sprigs of cilantro.
Chipotle Tomatillo Verde Salsa
Step 1: In a heavy, ungreased skillet over medium heat, roast the unpeeled garlic, turning occasionally, until blackened in spots and soft, 10-15 minutes. Let cool, slip off the papery skins, then roughly chop.
Step 2: Turn on the broiler to high. Put the tomatillos on a baking sheet and place about 4" below the element. Let the tomatillos blister, blacken, and soften on one side, about 5 minutes, then turn them over and roast the other side. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 3: Scrape the tomatillos (and any juices that have accumulated around them) into a food processor or blender and add the garlic. Pulse until everything is coarsely puréed.
Step 4: Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the chipotle chilies along with enough water (about 3-4 tbsp) to give the salsa a spoonable consistency. Taste and season with salt, plus a little sugar, if you want to soften the tangy edge.

Lovastatin is [1S-[1alpha(R*),3alpha,7beta,8beta (2S*,4S*), 8abeta]]- 1,2,3,7, 8,8a-hexahydro-3,7-dimethyl-8-[2-(tetrahydro-4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2H- pyran-2-yl)ethyl]-1-naphthalenyl 2-methylbutanoate. The empirical formula of lovastatin is C24H36O5 and its molecular weight is 404.55.
Lovastatin is a white, nonhygroscopic crystalline powder that is insoluble in water and sparingly soluble in ethanol, methanol, and acetonitrile.
Tablets MEVACOR are supplied as 20 mg and 40 mg tablets for oral administration. In addition to the active ingredient lovastatin, each tablet contains the following inactive ingredients: cellulose, lactose, magnesium stearate, and starch. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is added as a preservative. Tablets MEVACOR 20 mg also contain FD&C Blue 2 aluminum lake. Tablets MEVACOR 40 mg also contain D&C Yellow 10 aluminum lake and FD&C Blue 2 aluminum lake.
The involvement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in atherogenesis has been well-documented in clinical and pathological studies, as well as in many animal experiments. Epidemiological and clinical studies have established that high LDL-C and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are both associated with coronary heart disease. However, the risk of developing coronary heart disease is continuous and graded over the range of cholesterol levels and many coronary events do occur in patients with total cholesterol (total-C) and LDL-C in the lower end of this range.
MEVACOR has been shown to reduce both normal and elevated LDL-C
concentrations. LDL is formed from very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and
is catabolized predominantly by the high affinity LDL receptor. The
mechanism of the LDL-lowering effect of MEVACOR may involve both reduction
of VLDL-C concentration, and induction of the LDL receptor, leading to

Does A Sense Of Control Moderate Self-Regulation Strategies And Performance? When Feedback Lingers

This study examined whether a sense of control moderated the relationship between self-regulation and performance on an anagram task. High school students agreeing to participate in this study completed the Behavioral Inhibition/Behavioral Approach Scale (BIS/BAS) in order to determine individual promotion or prevention chronic self-regulatory strategies, as well as the revised Children's Attributional Style Questionnaire (CASQ-R) to determine a sense of control based on explanatory style. Changes in mood and performance on anagram tasks were measured at three different times during the study: prior to, after, and after discrediting randomly assigned negative or positive feedback. Performance tasks were designed to facilitate advancing (promotion) or vigilant (prevention) chronic self-regulatory strategies. Random feedback was given to students after completing the first set of anagrams and then discredited after the second set of anagrams to determine who was more likely to experience lingering effects of negative or positive feedback. Results indicated moderator effects after feedback with inhibitory behaviors being more predictive of performance, and students described as prevention-optimists most likely to increase performance scores after receiving positive feedback. Although results indicated no significant effects on mood, some interesting trends regarding performance and self-knowledge suggest changes in affect may be associated with feedback.

Sage Summit 2015: Make the Most of It by Beginning with End in Mind
Jul 14, 2015 7:30:00 AM
How many times have you attended a big trade show or users group meeting and came away thinking, "I didn't get as much out of that as I intended"?
It's a common problem, because it's so easy to do.
You may have certain vendors you want to talk with, specific people you want to network with, and possibly even some bucket list things you want to see or do in the city where the meeting is held. But then you get sucked into running from session to session, caught in conversations that aren't specific to your goals, and you run out of time. Then, you're frustrated. I know, because it's happened to me.
So as we approach Sage Summit 2015, let's take a look at how you can make the most of this opportunity.

Hulk Hogan Isn't The Only One Who Made A Sex Tape With Bubba's Wife!
A close insider claims Hulk Hogan isn't the only one who made a sex tape with Bubba the Love Sponge's wife! It's believed that Heather Clem taped her sex sessions with other famous celebrities as well.
"Bubba regularly brought his wife's sex tapes into work at the radio station and would show them to the staff," the source says.
"When the Hulk tape was leaked none of his staff were surprised because they'd all seen it already! And that wasn't the only tape they saw with Heather having a sex with a celebrity."
The insider's controversial claim insinuates that she has been in bed with at least two other major celebrities with a video camera rolling.
"Staff that worked with Bubba were privy to at least two other tapes involving notable names," the source said.
"It was just sort of a regular thing when it came to Heather and Bubba. They were known for taping Heather's sexscapades and it just so happened to involve famous people sometimes."

To The Editor:
The announcement of a public hearing at the General Wait House on the winter public transportation routes at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, November 6, drew my attention. I plan to attend and ask about supplying public transit for The Valley year round and hope that others will join me. We are not all able to ride bikes!
Does anyone else agree that perhaps with the price of oil skyrocketing along with gas prices at the pump, perhaps it is time to think about promoting year-round public bus transit from The Valley to both Waterbury and Montpelier, with connections to all Valley towns? I know it failed due to low ridership several years ago when WHEELS was in charge, but perhaps it is now time for all of us to make a serious commitment to preserving our environment and learning to ride rather than drive on a regular basis.
Also, with the low ridership on Valley school bus routes, perhaps it is time to think about discontinuing contracts with private bus companies, and thinking about using GMTA for ALL bus transit, just as CCTA does in Burlington. It is my understanding that we are unable to use a nonprofit corporation, as long as towns are utilizing for-profit bus services. Isn't this strange?
Perhaps parents could ride to work with their children on the same busses!

This application claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 60/095,641, filed Aug. 7, 1998.
The present invention relates to a soft touch label comprising a coextruded film of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and a polyolefin layer.
Current materials used for self-adhesive or heat-shrink film labels, for example polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate and the like, have a plastic hard feel or touch. The packaging industry has shown an interest in the concept of "soft touch" films for use as self-adhesive or heat-shrink labels. While many thermoplastic elastomer materials have an inherent soft feel, films of these materials are difficult to form and process through printing and laminating equipment for the preparation of labels. Due to the high elongation characteristics of thermoplastic elastomers of more than 100%, printing on such films may result in print distortion and colors out of synchronization. Films of thermoplastic elastomers which are dimensionally stable under label making conditions would be desirable.
The present invention relates to film of thermoplastic elastomers which are dimensionally stable when used for manufacturing of pressure sensitive labels. It has now been found that dimensional stabilization of the films is achieved by coextrusion of the thermoplastic elastomer with a polyolefin material thus rendering said films suitable for label applications.
In particular the present invention relates to a label (1) comprising an adhesive layer (2) and a coextruded film (3) of
(a) an uppermost thermoplastic elastomer layer (4), selected from the group consisting of
blends of a thermoplastic polyolefin with a curable rubber selected from ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, butyl rubber, natural rubber, nitrile rubber, polyisoprene rubber, polychloroprene rubber, copolymer of C4-7 isomonoolefin and para-C1-8-alkyl styrene or its halogenated derivatives, polybutadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, or
styrene/conjugated diene/styrene block copolymer; and
(b) a polyolefin or polyester layer (5).
Preferred embodiments of the invention are as follows:
the coextruded film is printed on the outer surface of the polyolefin/polyester layer, on the outer surface of the thermoplastic elastomer layer, or both;
the coextruded film is laminated on its polyolefin/polyester side to an additional polyolefin sheet/base label, which may be printed;
lamination between the coextruded film and the polyolefin base label is effected by a layer of a laminating adhesive;
the additional polyolefin sheet is selected from polyethylene or a polypropylene sheet;
the adhesive layer is formed by a pressure sensitive adhesive;
the polyolefin of the coextruded sheet is selected from polyethylene or polypropylene;
the polyester of the coextruded sheet is an amorphous polyethylene terephthalate;
the label is applied to a substrate with paper being preferred;
the coextruded film is a heat-shrinkable uniaxially or biaxially heat-stretched film;
the coextruded film has a thickness of 40 μm to 120 μm;
the ratio thermoplastic elastomer layer to polyolefin layer of the coextruded sheet is from 1:9 to 1:1;
in the thermoplastic elastomer the rubber has been partially, fully or not cured.
By the term "pressure-sensitive" labels it is meant that no heat needs to be applied for effectively adhering the label with its adhesive side to an article.
By the term "soft", "soft-touch" or "soft thermoplastic elastomer" there is meant the property of the uppermost layer of the coextruded sheet which originates from the thermoplastic elastomer having a Shore A hardness (ASTM D 2240) of from at least 35, preferably at least 40 to up to 80, preferably up to 70 and more preferably up to 60.
The drawings schematically represent various embodiments of the present invention.
FIG. 1 shows a label (1) of comprising an adhesive layer (2) and a coextruded film (3) of a polyolefin layer (5) and a thermoplastic elastomer layer (4). The thermoplastic elastomer layer (4) forms the uppermost layer and a print layer (6) is applied to the outer surface of the polyolefin layer (5). A pressure sensitive adhesive layer (2) is present between the print (6) and layer (6) and a backing paper as the label substrate layer (9).
FIG. 2 represents an embodiment in which the coextruded sheet (3) is printed (6) on the outer surface of the polyolefin layer (5) and is adhesively applied to a polyolefin film (7) (also called base label) by means of a laminating adhesive layer (8).
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the coextruded film (3) is laminated to a printed polyolefin sheet (7) by means of a laminating adhesive layer (8).
Instead of the polyolefin layer (5) a layer of a polyester can be employed in teh label according to the invention.
Coextruded film (3)
1. Thermoplastic Elastomer Layer (4)
The term "thermoplastic elastomer" (TPE) in general defines blends of polyolefins and rubbers in which blends the rubber phase is not cured, i.e., so-called thermoplastic olefins (TPO), blends of polyolefins and rubbers in which blends the rubber phase has been partially or fully cured by a vulcanization process to form thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV), or unvulcanized styrene/conjugated diene/styrene block-copolymers or blends thereof.
The thermoplastic elastomers according to the present invention are selected from blends of rubbers and polyolefins in which the rubber has been partially or fully cured or in which the rubber is not cured, styrene/conjugated diene/styrene block-copolymers or their hydrogenated derivatives and blends thereof.
1.1 Polyolefin/Rubber Blends
The polyolefins include thermoplastic, crystalline polyolefin homopolymers and copolymers. They are desirably prepared from monoolefin monomers having 2 to 7 carbon atoms, such as ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, isobutylene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 3-methyl-1-pentene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 5-methyl-1-hexene, and the like, mixtures thereof and copolymers thereof with (meth)acrylates and/or vinyl acetates, and the like. Preferred, however, are monomers having about 3 to about 6 carbon atoms, with propylene being most preferred. As used in the specification and claims the term polypropylene includes homopolymers of propylene as well as reactor and/or random copolymers of polypropylene which can contain about 1 to about 20 wt.% of ethylene and/or an α-olefin comonomer of about 4 to about 16 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof. The polypropylene can be highly crystalline isotactic or syndiotactic polypropylene. Commercially available polyolefins may be used in the practice of this invention. Further polyolefins which can be used in terms of the invention are high, low, linear-low, very low-density polyethylenes and copolymers of ethylene with (meth)acrylates and/or vinyl acetates, and the like.
The polyolefins mentioned above can be made by conventional Ziegler/Natta catalyst systems or by metallocene-based (single-site) catalyst-systems.
Rubber Component
The curable rubber suitable for use in the manufacture of the thermoplastic elastomer may be monoolefinic copolymer rubber (elastomers) comprise non-polar, rubbery copolymers of two or more α-monoolefins, preferably copolymerized with at least one polymer, usually a diene. Saturated monoolefin copolymer rubber, for example ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber (EPM) can be used.
However, unsaturated monoolefin rubber such as EPDM rubber is more suitable. EPDM is a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene and a non-conjugated diene. Satisfactory non-conjugated dienes include 5-ethylidene-2-norbomene (ENB); 1,4-hexadiene; 5-methylene-2-norbomene (MNB); 5-vinyl norbornene (VNB); 1,6-octadiene; 5-methyl-1,4-hexadiene; 3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadiene; 1,3-cyclopentadiene; 1,4-cyclohexadiene and dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), and the like.
Butyl rubbers are also useful in the compositions of the invention. As used in the specification and claims, the term "butyl rubber" includes copolymers of an isoolefin and a conjugated monoolefin, terpolymers of an isoolefin and a conjugated monoolefin, terpolymers of an isoolefin with or without a conjugated monoolefin, divinyl aromatic monomers and the halogenated derivatives (halogenated butyl rubber) of such copolymers and terpolymers.
The useful butyl rubber copolymers comprise a major portion of isoolefin and a minor amount, usually less than about 30 wt.% of a conjugated multiolefin. The preferred copolymers comprise about 85-99.5 wt.% of a C4-7 isoolefin such as isobutylene and 15-0.5 wt.% of a multiolefin of 4 to 14 carbon atoms, such as isoprene, butadiene, dimethyl butadiene and piperylene. Commercial butyl rubber, chlorobutyl rubber, bromobutyl rubber, useful in the invention, are copolymers of isobutylene and minor amounts of isoprene with less than about 3% halogen for the halobutyl-derivatives. Other butyl co-and terpolymer rubbers are illustrated by the description in U.S. Pat. No. 5,916,180 which is incorporated herein by reference.
Another suitable copolymer within the scope of the olefinic rubber of the present invention is a copolymer of a C4-7 isomonoolefin and a para-C1-8-alkylstyrene, and preferably a halogenated derivative thereof. The amount of halogen in the copolymer, predominantly in the para-alkylstyrene, is from about 0.1 to about 10 wt.%. A preferred example is the brominated copolymer of isobutylene and para-methylstyrene. These copolymers are more fully described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,162,445 which is incorporated herein by reference.
A further olefinic rubber suitable in the invention is natural rubber. The main constituent of natural rubber is the linear polymer cis-1,4-polyisoprene. It is normally commercially available in the for of smoked sheets and crepe. Synthetic polyisoprene can also be used. Furthermore, polybutadiene rubber and styrene-butadiene-copolymer rubbers can also be used.
Blends of any of the above olefinic rubbers can be employed, rather than a single olefinic rubber.
Further suitable rubbers are nitrite rubbers. Examples of the nitrite group-containing rubber include a copolymer rubber comprising an ethylenically unsaturated nitrite compound and a conjugated diene. Further, the copolymer rubber may be one in which the conjugated diene units of the copolymer rubber are hydrogenated. Specific examples of the ethylenically unsaturated nitrite compound includes acrylonitrile, α-chloroacrylonitrile, α-fluoroacrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, and the like. Among them, acrylonitrile is particularly preferable.
Examples of the conjugated diene include 1,3-butadiene, 2-chlorobutadiene and 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (isoprene). Among them, butadiene is particularly preferred. Especially preferred nitrite rubbers comprise copolymers of 1,3-butadiene and about 10 to abut 50 percent of acrylonitrile.
Another suitable rubber in terms of the present invention are based on polychlorinated butadienes such as polychloroprene rubbers. These rubbers are commercially available under the trade names Neoprene� and Bayprene�.
In the blend of the polyolefin and the rubber, the rubber is contained in an amount of 20 to 60 wt.-%, more preferably in an amount of 40 to 50 wt.-%, based on the polyolefin/rubber blend.
The elastomer (rubber) component of the rubber/polyolefin blend may be used uncured to form TPOs or it can be partially or fully vulcanized (crosslinked) to form TPVs. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the appropriate quantities, types of cure systems and vulcanization conditions required to carry out the vulcanization of the rubber. The elastomer can be vulcanized using varying amounts of curative, varying temperatures and varying time of cure in order to obtain the optimum crosslinking desired. Any known cure system can be used, so long as it is suitable under the vulcanization conditions for the elastomer or combination of elastomers being used and is compatible with the thermoplastic polyolefin component of the TPV. These curatives include sulfur, sulfur donors, metal oxides, phenolic resin systems, maleimides, peroxide-based systems, high energy radiation and the like, both with and without accelerators and co-agents. Another curing systems which can be used is the hydrosilylation system which consists of the use of a silicon hydride curative catalyzed with a platinum or rhodium derivative. Such systems are disclosed, for instance, in EP-A-0 776 937. Phenolic resin curatives are preferred for the preparation of the TPV composition of the invention, and such cure systems are well known in the art and literature of vulcanization of elastomers. Their use in TPV compositions is more fully described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,311,628, the disclosure of which is fully incorporated herein by this reference. Usually about 5 to about 20 weight parts of the curative or curative system are used per 100 weight parts of the rubber to be cured.
The process of dynamically curing the rubber in a polyolefin matrix is well known in the art. Early work found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,037,954 discloses the technique of dynamic vulcanization wherein a vulcanizable elastomer is dispersed into a resinous thermoplastic polymer and the elastomer is cured in the presence of a curative while continuously mixing and shearing the polymer blend. The resulting composition [dynamically vulcanized alloy, or thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV)] is a microgel dispersion of cured elastomer in an uncured matrix of thermoplastic polymer. Since then the technology has advanced significantly. For further general background information it is referred to EP-A-0 473 703, EP-A-0 657 504, WO-A-95/26380 and other patent applications of the applicant.
Most preferred TPVs are selected from partially or fully cured EPDM-rubber/polypropylene TPVS. Most preferred TPOs are selected from blends of EPDM-rubber and polypropylene.
1.2 Styrene/Conjugated Diene/Styrene Block-Copolymers
Another thermoplastic elastomer is a block-copolymer of styrene/conjugated diene/styrene, with the conjugated diene optionally being fully or partially hydrogenated, or mixtures thereof. Generally this block-copolymer may contain about 10 to about 50 weight-%, more preferably about 25 to about 35 weight-% of styrene and about 90 to about 50 weight-%, more preferably about 75 to about 35 weight-% of the conjugated diene, based on said block-copolymer. Most preferably, however, is a block-copolymer which contains about 30 weight-% of styrene and about 70 weight-% of the conjugated diene. The conjugated diene is selected from butadiene, isoprene or mixtures thereof. Specific block-copolymers of the styrene/conjugated diene/styrene-type are SBS, SIS, SIBS, SEBS and SEPS block copolymers. These block-copolymers are known in the art and are commercially available.
Exemplary styrene/conjugated diene/styrene block-copolymers are styrene-butadiene-isoprene-styrene block-copolymer or its hydrogenated derivative, styrene-ethylene-butene-styrene block-copolymer and blends thereof.
2. Layer (5)
Suitable polyolefin layers (5) are selected from conventional polyethylenes and polypropylenes, the polyester layer (5) is an amorphous polyethylene terephthalate known to the person skilled in this art of coextruding films by the cast or blow method.
The coextruded film (3) comprising the TPE layer (4) and the polyolefin/polyester layer (5) has a thickness of 40 μm to 120 μm, more preferably 60 μm to 100 μm, most preferably 60 μm to 80 μm.
The ratio of the thickness of the TPE layer (4) to the polyolefin/polyester-layer (5) is from 1:9 to 1:1, more preferably from 2:8. to 1:1.
In another embodiment the coextruded film (3) can be uniaxially or biaxially heat stretched thus rendering it heat-shrinkable. Heat-shrinkage can be effected by state of the art methods prior to printing the film (3).
Polyolefin Layer/Base label (7)
Suitable polyolefin layers (7) are selected from polyethylenes and polypropylenes such those defined above in context with the polyolefin/polyester layer (5). The polyolefin base label (7), if present, has a thickness of 20 μm to 60 μm, preferably between 30 μm to 50 μm. In a preferred embodiment of this invention the polyolefin base label (7) is printed.
The label (1) as such has a total thickness (including the optional base label (7) and the laminating adhesive layer and the pressure sensitive adhesive layer) of 45 μm to 200 μm, preferably 60 μm to 175 μm.
The layers (4), (5) and (6) may optionally and independently contain additives known in the art such as reinforcing or non-reinforcing fillers, antioxidants, heat-stabilizers, antistatic agents, pigments, flame-retardants, UV-stabilizers, and process-aids. The total amount of said additives is between about 0.05 and 15% by weight, based on the layer composition, depending on the nature of the additives themselves.
The printing of the outer surface of the TPE layer(4) or polyolefin/polyester layer (5) of the coextruded sheet (3) as well as the polyolefin base layer sheet (7) is conventional in the art. Printing processes such as rotary letterpress printing, rotary screen printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, offset printing, laser printing, or ink-jet printing can be employed.
The surface of the respective layer may have to be pretreated to facilitate printing, for instance by corona-, flame-, plasma treatment or applying coatings. These techniques, however, are known and conventional in the art.
Either side or both sides of the coextruded sheet (3) can be printed. Preferably the polyolefin/polyester sheet (5) is printed which has the advantage that the print is not abraded and that the soft touch of the uppermost TPE-layer is not impaired by the printing layer. If the coextruded sheet (3) is laminated to a polyolefin base label (7) the polyolefin sheet (7) can be printed prior to lamination, preferably on the side with which it is laminated to the polyolefin/polyester layer (5) of the coextruded sheet (3).
Of course, the structure is sufficiently translucent to permit the printing (6) to be clearly visible in the label, in particular in cases in which the label is printed on the polyolefin/polyester layer (5) and/or the base label (7).
Laminating adhesives (8) for laminating polymeric layers together are known in the art. Reference is made to Gerd Habenicht in "Kleben", Springer-Verlag, 2nd Edition (1990), Chapter 3.8 and Ulimann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, VCH Veriagsgesellschaft mbH, 5th Edition, 1985, Vol. A1, pages 221 et seq., the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Adhesives (2) are applied to the polyolefin layer (5) or (7) for adhering the label (1) to the substrate (9) and later on to the final article. As is known in the art of label manufacturing the adhesive stays on the label when the label is separated from the label substrate to be applied to the article. Suitable adhesives are selected from those known in the art such as hot-melt adhesiveness, water-based (dispersion) adhesives, solvent-based adhesives which may be sprayable. For further details it is referred to G. Habenicht, in "Kleben", Springer-Verlag, 2nd Edition, (1990), Chapter 12.3.3 the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Any known label substrate can be used for making the labels according to the present invention. For instance paper which has been treated on its surface with an anti-adhesive component (for example silicone), known as release paper, or non-polar polymeric film substrates such as polyethylene or polypropylene films.
The labels according to the present invention have a soft feel or touch and at the same time provide an antislip property to the article to which they are adhered in both under wet and dry conditions. Thus, the labels according to the present invention are particularly useful in the field of decoration of packaging, antislip mats and other purposes in which a soft and antislip property is desired.
The invention is further explained by the following Example.
Materials used:
Santoprene� 8210-70: a blend of polypropylene with fully crosslinked EPDM with a Shore A hardness of 70 (ASTM D2240), commercially available from Advanced Elastomer Systems, Akron, US.
Borealis� HA 125J: polypropylene commercially available from Borealis
A film of polypropylene and thermoplastic elastomer was prepared on a Collin coextrusion cast line. Santoprene� 8210-70 thermoplastic elastomer and Borealis HA125J polypropylene were coextruded in a 50/50 ratio to form a total film thickness of 120 μm. The thermoplastic elastomer was extruded on the chill roll side.
The thermoplastic elastomer side of the film had a smooth soft feel, and the film was dimensionally stable, suitable for printing and forming into a label. After corona-treatment of the polyolefin surface the film was then printed on said surface by rotation screen printing. Thereafter a modified acrylate adhesive was applied to the printed surface which was then applied to a siliconized paper. The structure obtained is shown in FIG. 1.

July 29, 2015
NEW YORK (AP) - United Airlines ratcheted up the pressure on
fliers ahead of the holiday weekend by raising most domestic fares.
The suburban Chicago-based airline raised fares by as much as
$60 roundtrip to offset the runaway cost of fuel. A spokeswoman for
the nation's second-largest airline also says it's "seriously
considering" following Fort Worth-based American Airlines in
charging passengers to check their first piece of luggage.
The ticket price increase took effect late yesterday. It'll
leave travelers paying $10 to $60 more, depending on how far they
fly and the competition on the route. The biggest increase affects
routes of 750 miles or more that low-cost carriers such as
Dallas-based Southwest Airlines don't serve. That's less than the
distance between New York and Chicago.
United has been among the most aggressive carriers in pushing
fares and fuel surcharges higher in recent months. Its increases
are often rapidly matched by competitors. Airlines are prohibited
from agreeing to simultaneously raise fares, but nothing prevents
them from following rivals' lead.
American became the first major domestic carrier on Wednesday to
say it would charge passengers $15 to check their first bag.

Officials: Bus route helps more than Anderson County's poor
Officials: Bus route helps more than Anderson County's poor
ANDERSON - The endangered Anderson County bus route that is served by the Clemson Area Transit system exists to help more than just the poorest riders, say officials who are trying to save it.
For more than a decade, the county has used federal grants to fund the 4U route, which takes riders from Anderson to Pendleton to Clemson for free. The most recent grant, nearly $3 million, was awarded in 2003, and has been used to fund bus routes ever since.
But the money that funds the 4U route — and a separate county bus route in Homeland Park — is almost gone.
County council leaders will soon be forced to decide whether they will find a way to fund the bus routes, and whether they will help replace the 4U bus that is more than 10 years old.
County transportation director Holt Hopkins says the expenditures related to the routes total $358,000 annually. There's enough grant money left to run the routes for a little while, but not indefinitely.
If the county sets aside $125,000 of its own money as a match for federal dollars that will help pay for a new bus, then uses the grant funds that are still available for the routes, the transit program will still run into a $24,000 deficit by June 2014, according to figures presented Friday.
Anderson County Council Chairman Francis Crowder presented those figures, which he got with the help of county finance staff, at a "pre-budget" workshop in the historic courthouse.
Hopkins tried to convince council members that the bus routes are worth saving.
The 4U bus runs through Anderson County 12 hours a day, five days a week.
He said the bus serves a variety of people, from students and staff who take the bus to Clemson University or Tri-County Technical College to workers at the Michelin North America plant.
Hopkins said he recently had lunch with a Michelin executive who told him that the 4U bus was used by the company's workers from Asia. Those workers, about 100 overall, came to the Upstate to learn more about their jobs, Hopkins said.
"They were over here to train at the Sandy Springs plant, and they took that bus back and forth to Michelin while they were here," Hopkins said. "It's an economic-development tool. It's more than just a pauper's way of transportation."
Council member Tom Allen asked if the workers came all at one time last year. Hopkins replied that he thought they came to the Upstate in small groups to train.
"Well, then," Allen said, "maybe Michelin could get a van for them."

i have fully checked out these and they are unbeatable for value per bottle.they dont look as good as a transtherm but who cares at less than half the price.be very wary of the noise output on the more expensive models,no such problem with the kitchener.

Hello GB,Have had a 250 bottle capacity kitchener for about 2 1/2 years - only moving part (when on) is the fan, unlike several European models that do vibrate. Granted not as attractive as European counterparts and doesn't have the gadgets - but half the price makes it a good buy.I purchased a max/min temperature/humidity gauge for inside the unit. However these readings were of air space inside the unit - bought a tel-tru temperature gauge with a metal probe and siliconed (if there is such a word)it into a wine bottle (full of water) for liquid temperature. Amazing how stable liquid temperature is compared to air temperature.I highly recommended the Kitchener.RegardsJeffB

Thanks JeffB, Martinborough & Mike1,Your input is very valuable. The 20 case one looks like the way to go. Temp & moisture stable with a minimum of noise seems ideal.Do they deliver,install,stabilise & guarantee?

GB,KG252 $2800 plus $250 delivery. They will send you instructions for installation and set up. There are also details of set up on their website. Been looking at one of these for a little while now. I'm even considering the KG410 but that would cost $4350 plus $350 delivery.If you assume a cabinet life of ten years, the KG252 will cost $1.21 per bottle, per year. Running costs would be additional to this but these are quite economical, I'm told.CheersJamie

How do they compare with Vintec?
Date Posted: Mar 07, 2004, 10:37 AM
vintec,although the most accessable unit on the market(david jones etc.)it is by far the noisiest.i had a client who sent their unit back and bought a transtherm(money not an object).
Date Posted: Mar 09, 2004, 09:13 PM
Noisy is bad.It also appears that you get around twice the capacity in a Kitchener for the equivalent cost in a Vintec (which is itself half the price of a Transtherm).One of the VC's over here has just started offering the latter two brands. The purchase price does count towards Cellar Shares, though. Probably still not incentive enough! ;-)

I have owned a Kitchener 410 for a couple of years and I am delighted with its performance. Reds are just right after 10 minutes out of the unit and whites can be drunk straight from the unit or after perhaps 10 minutes in the fridge. The 410 is massive but it does a great job.

I'm in Brisbane and have had a 252 bottle unit for around 4 years. I've found that it's not too bad on the whole, but in the height of a Brisbane summer it just doesn't cope properly.We had temperatures in the mid to high 30s last week and my fluid temperature was up to 19.5 - not really optimal (although certainly better than the ambient 37 degrees!). Kitchener have previously advised that the cabinet must be fully stocked to provide thermal inertia - my cabinet is chock-a-block (sadly many of the bottles are only water!) barring a handful of empty spaces. This behaviour has been consistent since I have had the cabinet; it sits nicely at around 14 degrees except in summer, when it fluctuates between 14 and 20. In discussions with Kitchener they seemed puzzled by my reports... this year I upgraded my thermometers thinking that perhaps they were off, but the new gear confirms the same findings. I have not yet approached them again for a response, but previous conversations gave me the impression that they would be interested in trying to help even though I am out of warranty.So... based on my experience, they are good value but do not really provide rock-solid thermal stability in hot conditions.

I'm currently looking at wine cabinets and the 252 Kitchener is definitely on my list. I am concerned about the temperature fluctuations you are talking about though. Is the actual cabinet stored in a 37 degree temperature (for example in a shed) or is that just the weather temperature outside and the cabinet is sitting in a cooler environment? I am achieving temperatures as stable as this in a heavily insulated area in my house with no extra cooling.Also, has anyone else got any experience with other brands?
Date Posted: Jan 09, 2006, 08:49 AM
The cabinet is stored under the house on a concrete slab - we have a "Queenslander" style house up on stumps, so it is as cool there as you are going to get in ambient conditions. The high ambients are just a damn hot summer.

Date Posted: Dec 09, 2007, 10:08 PM
I am starting to look at buying a wine cabinet. I am also in Brisbane. Have you had a satisfactory end to the temp fluctuation?
Date Posted: Dec 10, 2007, 09:52 AM
Haven't pursued it any further... life has been too hectic lately to manage anything but the bare essentials! My wine cabinet is well down on the list of priorities :-(It's been coping OK this summer as we haven't had anything like the many consecutive days of mid to high 30s. The occasional really hot days have been followed by milder temperatures so it has not been a problem so far, and it's sitting around 14-15 degrees.If I ever get a free weekend (ha ha) I'm considering doing a mod to it myself to install additional peltiers and heatsinks in the air inlets - the theory being that this will pre-cool the air that is cooling the original heatsinks. I just have to figure out where to hook in to get some thermostat-switched current to drive a relay.

Dereck, Andrew,Interested in any feedback on the temperature fluctuation issue.Also wondering if you have any idea of the performance of the Liebherr units?
Date Posted: May 01, 2006, 05:17 PM
Haven't approached Kitchener yet... I've been waiting for the weather to cool since if they offer me any kind of solution it will likely involve a power outage to the cabinet, so I want the ambient temperatures to be nice and low! June should just about do it I reckon.

Herbalife Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Herbalife is a company that began 33 years ago with a "mission for nutrition," according to the company website. Today, Herbalife has more than a million distributors worldwide, offering the line of Herbalife to people who want to lose weight and look and feel better. The weight management line consists of meal programs and supplements that can help dieters achieve their weight loss goals more efficiently. Supplements include those for appetite suppression, metabolism boosters and enhancers. While we appreciate that Herbalife appears to offer something for everyone, we prefer a single formula that can effectively meet all three of these needs for convenience and cost friendliness to the consumer.
The Herbalife products are sold through independent distributors and through some online retailers. We were unable to find the products for sale on the company website. To connect with a distributor in your area, you must first supply information about how you learned about the company. There is also information available on the company website about how to become a distributor.
For the purpose of this review, we will take a look at one Herbalife weight loss supplement, Total Control. This product claims to boost metabolism and aid in weight loss without irritability or restlessness. The ingredients in this formula include calcium, green tea leaves extract, dried ginger root extract, dried theobroma extract, dried yerba mate extract, astragalus, celery, fennel, hawthorne berry, licorice, marshmallow, parsley, suma, dried cinnamon extract and alfalfa.
Product Features
Herbalife offers a 30-day money back guarantee on all purchases. It also provides ample information about the science and research that goes into its formulas. In addition, we found customer testimonials that back the claims of the products. This is the type of information that we encourage consumers to look for; because it shows that the company has confidence in their products.
While we are pleased to see healthy ingredients on the list, the large number may reduce the potency of the active ingredients. Green tea is the only serious weight loss ingredient in the formula. The substance can boost the metabolism and suppress appetite. However, green tea is more effective with other weight loss ingredients like chromium and safe stimulants. We don't see any other active weight loss ingredients on the list.
- Herbalife is a proven company with a long reputation.
- The products are reasonably priced and come with a money back guarantee.
- Herbalife Total Control does not contain many weight loss ingredients.
- The large number of ingredients may reduce the potency of the formula.
- Products are not available for sale through the company website.
Herbalife is a reputable company with a relatively long history of providing weight loss and nutritional supplements. However, we are skeptical whether the long formulas and lack of active ingredients will really be the most effective way of dropping the pounds. We believe that other options filled with more potent ingredients may be a better choice.
