This is a continuation application of co-pending Ser. No. 058,696, filed June 1, 1987, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,775,768 which is in turn a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 624,379, filed June 25, 1984, now abandoned.
This invention relates to novel reactive colorants based on thiophene derivatives which have particular application in coloration of thermoset resins, exemplified by polyurethanes.
It is known that polyurethane resins, produced by the reaction of polyol and an isocyanate may be colored by adding a pigment or dyestuff to the resin. When, however, certain thermoset materials such as polyurethanes are colored with a pigment, the resulting product may be only slightly tinted at normal pigment concentrations, and may thus require larger, undesirable amounts of pigment if a dark hue is to be attained. This phenomenon is particularly apparent in the case of polyurethane foams. On the other hand, if a conventional dyestuff is employed to color the thermoset product, water resistance, oil resistance, and/or resistance to migration of the dyestuff may often be disadvantageously inadequate. When such a dye is used as a coloring agent, it is difficult to prevent bleeding of the dye from the colored resin product. Thermosetting resin products, such as polyurethanes, however, which have been colored with a dyestuff, have certain advantages. Particularly, such colored products may, for instance, possess a clearer hue, and improved transparency characteristics, both of which are important commercial attributes.
Dyes rather than pigments are preferred for use in coloring polyurethane resins because each molecule of a dye imparts color to the product. Conversely, only the surface molecules of pigment particles impart color. From the standpoint of utilization, then, dyes are more effective than pigments. Due to the above noted shortcomings of dyes, however, pigments have historically been used extensively.
One definite improvement in prior art techniques is set forth in commonly assigned U.S. Patent 4,284,729 to Cross et al in which a liquid polymeric colorant is added to the reaction mixture during production of a thermoset resin. Cross et al determined that a liquid, reactive, polymeric colorant could be added before or during the polyaddition reaction to achieve desired coloration of the thermoset resin. The specific polymeric colorant of Cross et al has the formula:
R (polymeric constituent-X)n
wherein R is an organic dyestuff radical; the polymeric constituent is selected from polyalkylene oxides and copolymers of polyalkylene oxides in which the alkylene moiety of the polymeric constituent contains 2 or more carbon atoms and such polymeric constituent has a molecular weight of from about 44 to about 1500; X is selected from --OH, --NH2 and --SH, and n is an integer of from about 1 to about 6. The liquid coloring agent is added to the reaction mixture in an amount sufficient to provide the intended degree of coloration of the thermoset resin.
Even though the Cross et al polymeric colorant represents vast improvement over prior art techniques, certain problems remain with regard to coloration of polyurethane resins, and foams, in particular. During the complex reactions experienced in producing thermosetting resins, such as polyurethane foams, interactions may occur between certain substituents of the colorant and reactive components of the reaction mixture. In polyurethane foam production specifically, a careful balance must be maintained throughout the reaction to achieve the desired end product. If the proper balance is not maintained, a product may be produced that is outside the desired product specifications and/or the final product may exhibit poor stability under certain conditions.
Other approaches to coloration of polyurethanes specifically are set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,994,835 to Wolf et al and 4,132,840 to Hugl et al. Wolf et al discloses the addition of dispersions of dyestuffs containing at least one free amino or hydroxyl group capable of reacting with the isocyanate under the conditions of polyaddition and liquids in which the dyes are soluble to an extent less than 2 percent. Hugl et al disclose the coloration of polyurethane resins with dyestuffs having the formula ##STR2## wherein R1 is hydrogen, halogen, optionally substituted C1 -C4 alkyl, optionally substituted C1 -C4 alkoxy and optionally substituted C1 -C4 alkylcarbonylamino and R2 denotes hydrogen, optionally substituted C1 -C4 alkyl and optionally substituted C1 -C4 alkoxy, while A and B denote optionally branched alkylene chains which can be identical or different and preferably have 2 to 6 carbon atoms.
Also as noted in "New Uses For Highly Miscible Liquid Polymeric Colorants In The Manufacture of Colored Urethane Systems", a paper presented by P. D. Moore, J. W. Miley and S. Bates at the 27th Annual Technical/Marketing Conference for SPI, many extra advantages are attendant to the use of polymeric colorants in polyurethanes beyond the mere aesthetic coloration of same. Specifically, such polymeric colorants can act as important process control indicators which enable one to more closely maintain quality control parameters by visual observation of product color. While the polymeric colorants of Moore et al are of the type referred to in the aforementioned Cross et al patent, like advantages may also be realized from reactive colorants according to the present invention. In fact, certain of the Cross et al colorants encounter adverse interactions in the production of polyurethane foam which are not encountered by the novel colorants of the present invention. Particularly, it has been determined that while all of the Cross et al polymeric colorants may be successfully employed in the coloration of thermoset resins generally, certain of the colorants fail in the production of polyurethane foams where tin catalysts and flame retardant chemicals are present.
Certain known prior art discloses dyestuffs that are somewhat related to certain of the colorants of the present invention, e.g. U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,827,450; 4,301,068; 4,113,721; 4,282,144; 4,301,069; 4,255,326; British Patents 1,583,377; and 1,394,365; and German Offenlegungscrift 2,334,169. Likewise the above prior art discloses techniques for coloration of polyurethane resins. None of the known prior art, however, teaches or suggests the use of thiophene based, reactive colorants for in situ coloration as taught and claimed herein.
A need, therefore, continues to exist for a coloring agent which has excellent water resistance, oil resistance and/or bleeding resistance, and which at the same time may be easily incorporated into the reaction mixture without adverse interaction with components of the reaction mixture. Accordingly, it would be highly desirable to provide a process for preparing colored thermosetting resin products in which the coloring agent has the foregoing advantages. Briefly, the present invention is directed to reactive colorants which combine the very desirable characteristics of high color yields of dyes with the non-migratory properties of pigments. The result is a product which is superior to both dyes and pigments in terms of cost effectiveness and properties of the cured polymer system.
According to the present invention novel reactive colorants are provided of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R1, R2 and R3 are selected from halogen, carboxylic acid, alkanoyl, aryloyl, carbocyclic forming polymethylene chains, alkyl, aryl, cyano, thioalkyl, dithioalkyl, thioaryl, dithioaryl, thiocyano, carboxyalkyl, carboxyaryl, amidoalkyl, amidodialkyl, amidoaryl, amidodiaryl, oxyalkyl, oxyaryl, thioamidoalkyl, thioamidodialkyl, or hydrogen when an adjacent group is isobutyryl; R4, R5, R6 and R7 b are selected from hydrogen, alkyl, oxyalkyl, oxyaryl, sulfonamidoalkyl, sulfonamidoaryl, amidoalkyl, amidodialkyl, amidoaryl, amidodiaryl, halogen, thioalkyl and thioaryl; and R8 and R9 are selected from polyalkylene oxide, coppolymers of polyalkylene oxides, and hydroxyalkylenes.
According to a preferred embodiment the R1, R2 and R3 groups in the above formula may be selected from cyano lower alkyl, a carbocyclic forming polymethylene chain, carboxyalkyl, alkanoyl, amidoaryl or hydrogen when an adjacent group is isobutyryl. In an even more preferred embodiment, the R4, R5 and R6 groups in the above formula may be selected from hydrogen, halogen or lower alkyl.
Colorants according to the present invention are generally liquid at ambient conditions of temperature and pressure, though if not, are generally soluble in reactants of processes in which they are employed.
In order to avoid adverse interactions during production of the polyurethane resin, the presence on the thiophene ring of certain substituents such as NO2, NO, NH2, NHR (where R is alkyl or aryl), SH, OH, CONH2, SO2 NH2 as well as hydrogen except as specified above should be avoided.
The substituents provided in the R8 and R9 position for colorants of the present invention may be any suitable substituent having two or more carbon atoms and which will accomplish the objects of the present invention. Typical of such substituents which may be attached to the dyestuff radical are the hydroxyalkylenes, polymeric epoxides, such as the polyalkylene oxides and copolymers thereof. Polymeric substituents are preferred. In this regard, polyalkylene oxides and copolymers of same which may be employed to provide the colorant of the present invention are, without limitation, polyethylene oxides, polypropylene oxides, polybutylene oxides, copolymers of polyethylene oxides, polypropylene oxides and polybutylene oxides, and other copolymers including block copolymers, in which a majority of the polymeric substituent is polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide and/or polybutylene oxide. Further, such substituents generally have an average molecular weight in the range of from about 44 to about 2500, preferably from about 88 to about 1400, but should not be so limited.
Examples of particularly preferred compounds within the scope of the present invention are set forth below (in each instance R8 and R9 are selected from a copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide having a molecular weight of from about 88 to about 1400). ##STR4##
In formulas 1 through 10, R8 and R9 have the values given above. Any suitable procedure may be employed to produce the reactive colorants of the present invention whereby the reactive substituent, or substituents, are coupled to an organic dyestuff radical. For example, the procedure set forth in U.S. Patent 3,157,633, incorporated herein by reference, may be employed.
Further, it may be desirable to use an organic solvent as the reaction medium since the reactive substituent is preferably in solution when coupled to the organic dyestuff radical. Any suitable organic solution, even an aqueous organic solution, may be employed. The particular shade of the colorant will depend primarily upon the particular dyestuff radical selected.
A large variety of colors and shades may be obtained by blending two or more colorants. Blending of the colorants of the present invention can be readily accomplished as the colorants are preferably liquid, though if not, have substantially identical solubility characteristics. Therefore, the reactive colorants are in general soluble in one another, and are also in general completely compatible with each other.
For example, the colorants according to the present invention may be prepared by converting a dyestuff intermediate containing a primary amino group into the corresponding reactive compound, and employing the reactive compound to produce a colored product having a chromophoric group in the molecule. In the case of azo dyestuffs, this may be accomplished by reacting a primary aromatic amine with an appropriate amount of an alkylene oxide or mixtures of alkylene oxides, such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or even butylene oxide, according to procedures well known in the art.
Once the reactive coupler is produced along the lines described above, same can be reacted with the thiophene derivative as set forth in the Examples one through five hereinafter. As can be seen from the Examples, the colorant form includes liquids, oils, and powders, all of which may be successfully employed in a coloration process.
Reactive colorants of the invention may be incorporated into a resin for coloration of same by simply adding the colorant to the reaction mixture or to one of the components of the reaction mixture before or during the polyaddition reaction. For instance, for coloration of polyurethane resin, the colorant may be added to the polyol or even in some instances to the polyisocyanate component of the reaction mixture either before or during polyurethane formation. The subsequent reaction may be carried out in the usual manner, i.e, in the same way as for polyurethane resins which are not colored.
The products of the present invention are advantageous for use in the production of polyurethane foams in which several reactions generally take place. First an isocyanate such as toluene diisocyanate is reacted with a polyol such as polypropylene glycol in the presence of heat and suitable catalyst. If both the isocyanate and the polyol are difunctional, a linear polyurethane results, whereas should either have functionalities greater than two, a cross linked polymer will result. If the hydroxylic compound available to react with the --NCO group is water, the initial reaction product is a carbamic acid which is unstable and breaks down into a primary amine and carbon dioxide. Since excess isocyanate is typically present, the reaction of the isocyanate with the amine generated by decarboxylation of the carbamic acid occurs, and if controlled, the liberated carbon dioxide becomes the blowing agent for production of the foam. Further, the primary amine produced reacts with further isocyanate to yield a substituted urea which affords strength and increased firmness characteristics to the polymer.
In general, amine and tin catalysts are used to delicately balance the reaction of isocyanate with water, the blowing reaction, and the reaction of isocyanate with polymer building substituents. If the carbon dioxide is released too early, the polymer has no strength and the foam collapses. If polymer formation advances to rapidly a closed cell foam results which will collapse on cooling. If the colorant or another component reacts to upset the catalyst balance poorly formed foam will result.
Additionally, the substituted urea may react with excess isocyanate, and the urethane itself reacts with further isocyanate to cross-link the polymer by both biuret and allophonate formation. Foams colored by the present colorants may be soft, semi-rigid, or rigid foams, including the so-called polyurethane integral skin and microcellular foams.
Coloring agents according to the present invention are reactive coloring agents, and may be added to the reaction mixture, or to one of the components thereof. When in liquid form, colorants of the present invention may be added as one or more of the components of the reaction mixture. Conversely when in oil or powder forms, the colorants are first added to one of the reactive components and are carried thereby, or conversely are dissolved in a solvent carrier and added as a separate component. Obviously liquids have significant processing advantages over solids, and may, if desired, be added directly to the reaction mixture so that no extraneous nonreactive solvent or dispersing agent is present.
Polyurethane products which may be colored with reactive colorants of the present invention are useful for producing shaped products by injection molding, extrusion or calendering and may be obtained by adding the coloring agent to the polyol or diol component of the reaction mixture, or to one of the other components, although addition to the polyol component is preferred. The polyols may be polyesters which contain hydroxyl groups, in particular reaction products of dihydric alcohols and dibasic carboxylic acids, or polyethers which contain hydroxyl groups, in particular products of the addition of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, styrene oxide or epichlorohydrin to water, alcohols or amines, preferably dialcohols. The coloring agent may also be admixed with the so-called chain extending diols, e.g., ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and butane diol. In general, it is desirable not to use more than about 20 percent by weight of coloring agent based on the weight of polyol. In most cases very strong colorations are produced with a small proportion of the coloring agent. For example, from about 0.1 to about 5 percent, preferably 0.5 to 2 percent by weight coloring agent may be utilized based on the weight of polyol.
The preferred colorants of the invention may be soluble, for instance, in most polyols which would be used in polyurethanes, and in themselves. This property may be particularly valuable for three reasons. First, this solubility may permit rapid mixing and homogenoeous distribution throughout the resin, thus eliminating shading differences and streaks when properly mixed. Second, the colorant may have no tendency to settle as would be the case with pigment dispersions. Third, it is possible to prepare a blend of two or more colors which provides a wide range of color availability.
Present reactive coloring agents may also be of considerable value in reaction injection molding (RIM) applications. The RIM process is a method of producing molded urethanes and other polymers wherein the two reactive streams are mixed while being poured into a mold. Upon reaction, the polymer is "blown" by chemicals to produce a foamed structure. This process may be hindered by the presence of solid particles, such as pigments. The present invention may not cause this hindrance because there are no particles in the system and the colorant becomes part of the polymer through reaction with one of the components.
The following examples illustrate the invention, and parts and percentages, unless otherwise noted are by weight:
Ninety two and one half grams of phosphoric acid (85% strength) was added along with 12.5 grams of sulfuric acid (98% strength) and 2 drops of 2-ethylhexanol defoamer to a 500 ml closed flask. The mixture was then cooled and 8.2 grams of 2-amino-3,5-dicyano-4-methyl thiophene was added followed by further cooling to below 0� C. Eighteen grams of nitrosyl sulfuric acid (40%) was slowly added while maintaining temperature below 0� C. After three hours, the mixture was tested for nitrite. A positive nitrite test was obtained and one gram of sulfamic acid was added and a vacuum was pulled. After one hour, a negative nitrite test was obtained. Ten and eight tenths grams of coupler (M-toluidine--2EO), 300 grams of ice and water, and 2 grams of urea were added to a 4 liter beaker and cooled to below 0� C. The diazo solution from the flask was added dropwise to the beaker over 40 minutes, maintaining temperature below 0� C. The resulting mixture was stirred for several hours and allowed to stand overnight, after which 122 grams of sodium hydroxide (50%) were added to neutralize excess acid to a pH of about 7. The resulting product was filtered, washed several times with hot water. It was then dissolved in isopropyl alcohol, and precipitated again by adding water, filtered and dried to give a violet powder that melted at 208� C.

17.5 grams--nitrosyl sulfuric
1 gram--sulfamic acid
60.5 grams--m-toluidine 2EO/15PO/2EO
120 grams--ice
A red oil resulted.
A masterbatch for the production of polyurethane foam was prepared by adding 3000 grams of Niax-16-56 (a 3000 molecular weight triol available from Union Carbide) 125.1 grams of water, and 7.8 grams of Dabco 33LV (amine catalyst available from Air Products) to a one gallon plastic jug, mixed well and stored at 65oF for further use.
A polyether polyurethane foam (control) was produced as follows. One hundred and four grams of the masterbatch of Example 6 were added to a 400 milliliter disposable beaker, and one gram of a reactive colorant as taught herein was added thereto along with one milliliter of Liquid Silicone L-520 (available from Union Carbide). The mixture was stirred in a blender for 25-30 seconds, 0.20 milliliters of T-9 (stannous octanoate catalyst) added thereto from a syringe, and stirred for an additional 5-8 seconds. Thereafter, 46 milliliters of toluene diisocyanate were added to the beaker and the mixture stirred for six seconds. A blended, homogenous mixture resulted and was poured into an 83 ounce paper bucket. The mixture foamed, and after the foam stopped rising, was cured in an oven at 130� C. for 15 minutes.
Polyurethane foam samples containing a flame retardant were produced as described in Example 7 with the exception that 10 grams of Thermolin T-101 flame retardant (available from Olin) were added to the beaker with the other components, and the foam sample was cured at 130� C. for 30 minutes. The foam of this Example possessed flame retardant properties.
As discussed above, while a number of colorants have heretofore been utilized for in situ coloration of polymeric materials, polyurethane foams present somewhat special problems. Specifically, the colorant must be stable to tin catalysts utilized in the production of the urethane, and also stable to flame retardants that are normally included in the polymer.
Instability as to the stannous tin catalysts, results in reduction of the dyestuff leading to significant, if not total, loss of color. Additionally, the foam producing process is also adversely affected. The foam does not rise at a proper rate and does not cure at a fast enough rate. A tacky polyurethane with poor polymer properties results. It is thus important that colorants for polyurethanes be stable to the tin catalysts. This is a desirable and qualifying characteristic of colorants of the present invention.
Also with instability to flame retardants, a color change or color shift will appear which renders an unstable colorant useless. Typically colorants unstable to flame retardants change color as follows: red to violet and orange to red. While a number of commercially available dyestuffs are not stable in the presence of the flame retardants, colorants of the present invention do possess such stability.
In order to demonstrate stability to both the tin catalysts and flame retardants, Examples 7 and 8 were reproduced with a number of different specific colorants, both according to the present invention and otherwise. Example 7 (without flame retardant) serves as a control for evaluation of stability to flame retardants. The tin stability test is set forth in Example 9.
Tests were also conducted as to tin stability according to the following procedure. First the color value for the colorants tested was determined by placing about 0.10 to 0.15 grams of colorant into a 100 milliliter volumetric flask and adding approximately 40 to 50 milliliters of methanol. The flask was swirled until the colorant dissolved in the methanol, after which excess methanol was added to the 100 milliliter mark on the flask. The flask was stoppered and the contents were mixed and shaken. Exactly 2.0 milliliters of the solution of the colorant in methanol was then added to a separate like flask and the flask was filled with methanol to the 100 milliliter mark, stoppered and shaken.
A Beckman DU-7 spectrometer was zeroed with methanol, filled with the test solution, and the solution was scanned from 300 to 750 mm. The maximum absorbance was recorded. Color value is obtained by multiplying the sample weight by 0.2 and dividing the product obtained into the maximum absorbance value.
In the case of liquid phase colorant, the colorant to be tested was then added to a 50 milliliter volumetric flask.
In order to correct for varying color strengths the amount of colorant added was determined by the following formula:
5/(Color value)=number of grams added.
Then 35 milliliters of 2-ethoxyethylether or 2-methoxylethylether were added to dissolve the colorant. Further solvent was then added to bring the total contents to the 50 milliliter mark. The flask was stoppered and shaken. Exactly 2.0 milliliters of this solution were transferred to a further 50 milliliter flask and diluted to the 50 milliliter mark with one of the solvents.
In the case of solid colorant to be tested colorant to be tested was added to a 100 ml volumetric flask. In order to correct for varying color strengths the amount of colorant added was determined as follows:
5/2 (color value)=number of grams added.
Then 35 ml of 2-ethoxyethyl-either or 2-methoxyethylether solvent was added to dissolve the colorant. An additional amount of solvent was added to bring the level in the volumetric flask to the 100 ml mark; a stopper was inserted, and the contents of the flask were mixed well by shaking. Exactly 4.0 ml of this solution were then transferred to another 100 ml volumetric flask and diluted to the 100 ml mark with solvent.
A solution of T-9 (stannous octanoate) was prepared with minimum air exposure by dissolving 0.70 gram of stannous octanoate in seven milliliters of solvent in a vial which was kept sealed between runs. The Beckman spectrometer was set up for repetitive scanning. Two milliliters of colorant solution (either solid or liquid as described above) were placed into a vial with 2.0 milliliters of the tin catalyst solution and mixed well. The mixture was then transferred to the cell of the spectrometer which was capped and quickly placed into the spectrometer (not more than 20 to 30 seconds elapsed time). Five repetetive scans were then made for each colorant sample at three intervals. The percentage loss after fifteen minutes (5 scans) was measured from initial absorbance and last absorbance.
A number of commercially useful benzothiazole colorants were investigated as to stability to flame retardants. In the control test, i.e., no flame retardant present, following the procedures of Example 7, all of the compounds tested passed, indicating no color change. When, however, the same compounds were included in production of foam according to Example 8 where the flame retardant was included, all of the compounds failed.
In like fashion to the benzothiazole investigations, a number of colorants according to the present invention were prepared according to the general procedures set forth in Examples 1 through 5. Thereafter, the colorants were utilized in the coloration of polyurethane foams as described in Examples 7 and 8 to determine stability of same to flame retardants. All of the thiophene compounds passed both tests, indicating stability to flame retardants. Compounds tested are listed in Table I below.
The following abbreviations are utilized in the following tables: Et=ethyl; EO=ethylene oxide; PO=propylene oxide; ME=methyl; Ac=acetate. Also where numbers are separated by diagonals, eg. 2/15/5, such refers to moles EO/moles PO/moles EO.

As can be seen from a comparison of the benzothiazoles of Examples 52 to 58 and the thiophenes of Examples 59 to 78, only the thiophenes are stable to the effects of the tin catalyst. Moreover, as defined herein, all of the thiophenes exhibit similar stability.
Having described the present invention in detail it is obvious that one skilled in the art will be able to make variations and modifications thereto without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be determined only by the claims appended hereto.

text: Rachel Uchitel, rumored lover of Tiger Woods, is being accused of sleeping with another married man: Jeremy London. If it's true, at least she can no longer be accused of trying to pork famous people. According to RadarOnline, London's ex-wife Melissa told friends that she believes the two are romantically involved. They were both on Celebrity Rehab, and now they live together in a sober living home. What a romantic story. London denies any involvement with Uchitel, insisting that they are just friends. He also defended her by saying, "She's been wrongfully persecuted by the media and because of what the media has done to met after I was nearly murdered, I relate to her." Wait, now he was "nearly murdered"? I thought he was just "kidnapped" and "forced" to do ecstasy. I feel terrible for ever making fun of him. Clearly he's got his s--t together.

47 year old woman | Portland, OR, United States | Seeking men 40-50 within 20 miles
Friendship & laughter
I'm an easy going, kind, smart, and creative woman who loves to laugh and have fun. I'm also a self-sufficient, single mom who adores her daughter, enjoys time with friends. Even when my life gets crazy busy, I can always make time for something fun, especially if there is wine or margaritas involved. I enjoy hiking and biking, the ocean and canoeing, but have not been able to enjoy them as much lately. I love to travel, my favorite places are NYC, Italy, and Hawaii (any island). I am looking for someone who is not afraid to laugh uncontrollably, have a smart conversation, and can enjoy a comedy club or a concert as much as the ballet or museum. Someone who has a kind heart, open mind, patience, and knows that relationships take work. Someone who enjoys long walks and exploring this beautiful city or spending a day at the beach flying kites.

It's so strange on another forum I saw someone say that the newer tri-x just had a pink hue and it was normal, something about the way they did something to it at the factory.
Two we are getting mixed signals, some say age will change the film, some say it won't matter and is aesthetic.
The reason I'm hesitant is more because I have already cut the film into individual pieces and so to re-fix properly I would have to do 15 rolls one image at a time or they will stick together... So I won't do it if its just aesthetic... I did both ilford D3200 and tri-x 400 and only the tri-x is pink.

News and Insights
Thomas C. Sima, the head of our Former Soviet Union practice, discusses the political and legal fallout from the FIFA indictments.
The NFL's current approach to meting out punishment for violation of league rules is arbitrary, capricious, lacks guiding principles, and hurts the league's credibility. It can also be fixed.

I make an effort to be a well-rounded person. I would describe myself as a hybrid nerd/jock. I make puns frequently, and I apologize for none of them. I stay active, am currently in a massage therapy program, am a judge for and participated in a modeling competition.
I didn't really believe in the Meyers-Briggs test (and I am still skeptical), but ESFP feels pretty accurate so I'm going to include it
What I do isn't as important to me as who I do it with. I think I'm a pretty mellow guy, I can get along with most people I think. So hit me up if you'd like to chat or meet up sometime!
Oh, and I think I'm smoother than I probably am. Whenever I talk to someone, I always have these cheesy lines in my head. I almost never use them (and when I do it's usually in jest) so as not to be "that guy". Very self conscious to not be the person I loathed in high school. But if you want me to turn on the charm ("charm") then tell me to go for it :P

'Kill Anything That Moves' painstakingly recounts Vietnam War atrocities
Nick Turse's "Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam" (Metropolitan Books) is one of the most sobering books of the year, a detailed and thoroughly sourced account of the murder, torture and rape of Vietnamese noncombatants during the war.
The My Lai massacre, far from being an isolated incident, was part of a pattern of behavior exemplified by the title of Turse's book. As far back as 1971, Vietnam veteran Charles McDuff wrote to President Richard Nixon, "Maybe your advisors have not clued you in, but the atrocities that were committed in Mylai are eclipsed by similar American actions throughout the country." »Read Full Article

Advice columnist Mrs. Griggs subject of new biography
Her Milwaukee Journal column started as advice for the lovelorn, but Ione Quinby Griggs and her legion of letter writers soon ventured into other topics and dilemmas of 20th century life in the Midwest, especially among women.
A new book, "Dear Mrs. Griggs: Women Readers Pour Out Their Hearts from the Heartland," traces Griggs' career from brash "girl reporter" in Chicago, through personal tragedy, and then an astounding 51 years of answering readers' personal questions on the back page of the Journal's Green Sheet. »Read Full Article(10)
'Jesus Christ Superstar' tour, Milwaukee show canceled
A U.S. arena tour of "Jesus Christ Superstar" — headlined by music stars such as former Destiny's Child Michelle Williams as Mary Magdalene and ex-Sex Pistol John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon as King Herod — has been scrapped. That includes the Aug. 1 show scheduled for the BMO Harris Bradley Center.
The tour of the famed Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical — which also featured Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd as Judas and 'N Sync alum JC Chasez as Pontius Pilate — was set to hit 54 cities, beginning in New Orleans June 9. A statement was posted on the show's website Friday; no explanation was given. »Read Full Article(7)

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is looking into whether it should open a formal investigation into whether Apple's new music streaming service is illegal due to the way the Apple's App store treats rival services. According to Reuters at the heart of the complaint is Apple charging $9.99 for their own streaming service, while competing services must pay Apple 30% of their pricing to Apple's App Store. In order to compete with Apple's $9.99 price, companies such as Spotify will only make $7, squeezing any margin out of the company, as 30% goes to Apple. But does this complaint have any meaningful merit?
Spotify has already complained of Apple's practices to the FTC earlier this year, and it appears other competitors such as Deezer are also urging the FTC to open a formal investigation. But a larger issue beyond streaming music services may be become a prerequisite. Does Apple have a monopoly which it is leveraging to create additional monopolies?
Samsung's Galaxy S6 Edge was supposed to be the "next best thing" in mobile phones. Commercials have this device touting its curved-edge display that lights up the side-panels, illuminating in blue for Craig, green for Gavin and red for Ramona, with text and other such items displayed. Really? Moreover, Samsung continues their staccato plucked strings as background music, trying to add as much intrigue to their product as possible. All the background music does for me is to notify me it's time to change the channel.
Wander any mall in the U.S. and you will not see many people, let alone any lines, trying to get into a mobile phone outlet looking for the latest Galaxy. Samsung's Galaxy S6 was to drive massive traffic to such stores, in an attempt to stem Apple's iPhone momentum. It hasn't worked.
May you all have a great 4th of July, celebrating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. ~ T-GAAP.
IBM is chief sponsor of the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, the grass championships at Wimbledon, England. For two weeks even novice onlookers tune into Wimbledon, as it scrapes into the consciousness of mainstream sports reporting. IBM is center stage, breaking into every commercial break. Even if a casual TV viewer, one cannot help but notice IBM. But Big Blue does more than just sponsor the tournament, they provide real-time statistics and graphics revealing where players are hitting each and every ball, their service success, and ball angles and heights. With Apple and IBM well into their $100 million partnership, it would be more than obvious the chair umpires would be officiating each match using iPads. That assumption would be wrong.
Chair umpires are using a Panasonic tablet. Specifically, Panasonic's Toughpad, deploying Intel Core i-series processing and Windows 7 or 8. Hawkeye, the system used to track the ball and validates whether the ball is in or out, is not infallible. In fact, it deploys non-high-speed 2D cameras, which must then estimate that track of the ball. Not exactly infallible. Why aren't Apple iPads in the umpire's chair, seamlessly working with IBM's cloud technologies? Why use legacy 2D cameras, that cannot handle an ounce of low-light conditions, instead of showcasing iPhone 6+ and 240fps recording for Hawkeye?
"Cord Cutter's" are those who have stopped paying $100-260+ USD to cable and satellite companies for hundreds of network channels. It has been two years since I took the plunge and saved myself then $90/month. Mark, the other guy here at Two Guys and a Podcast, was a radical in this cause, never subscribing to cable or satellite services — ever. Both of us are avid sports fans. Both of us news junkies. Yet somehow we are able to get the sports we want and the news we need without these services. How? It's called the internet.
Apple's practice of not conducting focus groups or looking to the outside world to decide what products it will make and what features will, or will not be included, is well known. But then is Apple solely working behind closed doors in making decisions for the next amazing Apple products? No. Despite what you may think, Apple does look to understand the consumer, as I personally witnessed via an Apple email survey that arrived in my Inbox last week. The email obviously follows on the heels of my recent MacBook purchase.
After watching Craig Federighi give his presentation of OS X El Capitan, I must say the thing I am most waiting for is the transition from Open GL to Apple's Metal. Apple's website describes Metal this way:
"Metal is a new graphics core technology that gives games and apps near-direct access to the graphics processor on your Mac, delivering enhanced performance and a richer graphical experience. Metal speeds system-level graphics rendering by up to 50 percent, as well as making it up to 40 percent more efficient. Metal allows the main processor and graphics processor to work more effectively together, boosting high-performance apps."
Eric Snowden's recent comments on Apple and whether Tim Cook is likely to keep his promises regarding privacy and data are, by and large, playing out as accurate. Snowden argued that it is in Cook's best interest to differentiate Apple against Google and others by profiting on the sales of devices instead of people's data. It makes for a good strategy and differentiator amongst the competition, and thus good for privacy. But what happens when Tim Cook is no longer the CEO of Apple?
According to JMP Securities technology analyst Alex Guana, Apple's slow launch into the wearables market has left a large opening for competitor Fitbit. Guana claims Fitbit is the "clear leader in the market with over 11 million units sold last year." Guana continued by saying that Fitbit is currently ahead of Apple Watch as far as price points, battery life and GPS tracking. However, he did concede that long-term, Apple can bring a lot of "power" with iOS and versatility. These Apple advantages will give Fitbit some serious competition.
One week removed from Apple's WWDC it occurred to me that a few new faces took to the stage from Apple. Jennifer Bailey, Jimmy lovine and Susan Prescott — all relatively new members to Apple's leadership team (albeit Iovine is not an Apple VP, but has great influence though the companies Beats acquisition).
Bailey is the Sr. VP at Apple in charge of Apple Pay, and while I had never heard her speak, nor had I seen her in video footage of any kind, Bailey was everything I expected her to be. Poised, polished, unflappable. There are not many people that can take to Apple's stage on their first go and nail it — Bailey did. Amongst a large group of techie guys, she seemed to fit in just fine.

Looking for narrow walking shoes? I wear an AA myself and I know how limited the selection can get.
Asics, New Balance and Saucony are great brands that come in AA widths and are great athletic sneakers made from high-quality, durable materials that are comfortable and provide plenty of cushioning, support and shock absorption.
Before you can pick the best pair for your feet, you'll need to
know your foot type. Shoes vary in their cushioning and flexibility and
are made for different foot types.
Knowing your type will help you find the perfect pair of narrow
walking shoes that meet the needs of your feet. If you don't know your
foot type, have a look at this article on the
best walking shoes.
It will help you quickly determine your foot type and you'll also get recommendations on which type of shoe you should wear.
I do recommend trying on a few different styles and brands to
find out which is the best fit for your feet. A sporting goods store
will have the best selection and I recommend starting there first.
A well-trained staff member will be able to discuss your needs
with you and make suggestions on which brands and styles would be best
for your needs.
Look for a store with a good return policy that will allow you to wear your shoes for a time and return them if they don't fit right. A pair may feel great in the store but can began to hurt when you wear them under your normal walking conditions.
But if you can't get to a store to try on shoes, take a look at these highly rated options. Made from reputable brands that offer the latest technology to keep your feet comfortable and dry, each of these narrow walking shoes is a great choice.

Krejcir case postponed for second dayComment on this story
Johannesburg - The trial of Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir and five others was postponed for a second day in the High Court in Johannesburg, sitting in Palm Ridge, on Tuesday.
The matter was postponed because Annelene van den Heever, counsel for Krejcir, was still sick.
Paul Mthabela, who was meant to continue delivering his testimony, promptly left the courtroom, flanked by several men, including a driver, when the adjournment was granted.
Krejcir, Desai Luphondo, warrant officers Samuel Maropeng and George Nthoroane, Jan Lefu Mofokeng, and Siboniso Miya are charged with kidnapping, assault, and attempted murder.
They also face charges of dealing in drugs.
They allegedly kidnapped Bheki Lukhele in a bid to force him to reveal the whereabouts of his brother, Doctor.
Doctor, who worked for a cargo company at the OR Tambo International Airport, had allegedly disappeared with 25kg of tik (Methamphetamine) he was meant to transport to Australia, allegedly for Krejcir.
When Lukhele took to the stand several days ago, he told the court he was forcefully taken from his home in Katlehong in June last year.
He claimed to have been blindfolded, bound, kicked, punched, and had boiling water poured over his head.
All six men have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The trial was expected to continue on Wednesday. - Sapa

Lupe Fiasco Kids with Guns LyricsArtist: Lupe Fiasco

Gorillaz*Kids wit guns*
Lupe (talkin):
How you gonna get up man
I shot you, you dead
You cant get up when you dead
You gotta lay down
Man you aint...
You aint
You aint playin right man
You kno i cant even play with you no more man
When u dead you supposed to lay down man
Lil Terry gotta gun he got from the store,
He bought it with the money he got from his chores,
He robbed the candy shop told her lay down on the floor,
Put the cookies in the bag take the pennies out the drawer.
Lil Kalil got a gun he got from the rebels,
To kill the infidels and American devils,
A bomb on his waist,
A mask on his face,
Prays five times a day,
And listens to Heavy Metal.
Lil Alex gotta gun he took from his dad,
That he snuck into school in his black book bag,
His black nail polish, black boots, and black hair,
He gon blow away the bully that just pushed his ass
Lil Joker gotta gun he bought on the street
To go and kill the niggas that beat him up last week
Cuz he dont let go none of his past beefs
Bullets flyin out the window
Shells landin on the seats
Lil Sarah gotta gun from her Uncle Sam
She got armor piercing rounds and her gun dont jam
She gotta Laser
Gotta rocket
And she killing to go to college
She thought it was an insurgeon
It was some old man
You can get guns on the internet
AK's, glock9's and interTeks
So when you see a shorty
Dont disrespect
Watchin Better Tomorrow and Playin Grand Theft Auto
Yeah Bet!!!
The hottest lyrics from Lupe Fiasco

I for one don't. But read the R/S article, and you can see that Geddy is glad for the fans because so many of THEM found it to be a big deal. I like his overall approach in the interview. He's laid back about it and very even-keeled in his replies. Good lessons for anyone in a similar situation.
Of course... funny how they didn't get in until voting was opened up to fans and readers. It'd have been nice if the alleged "cognoscenti" that controlled voting before had inducted them. Still, I'm glad that they are in. As are Heart. But it's a crying shame Deep Purple didn't make it.
Love this line:

when that pop up came up i was like aw man thats bull shit then i replayed it and i got it then i read the last dudes review and then i got it!! LMAO man thats so funny XD awsome :O
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Odd choice for a crossover...
On the one hand, to someone who has never played eternal darkness, I can't see them enjoying it.
On the other hand to someone like me who has played eternal darkness through 3 times and earned the Mega-ending, it totally rocked.
This flash does have some undeniable proplems though.
1. This is being based on a game that did not sell very well. The entire content of it is an inside joke. The majority of viewers will not be on the inside of it. I'm not ragging on it, just giving my explanation of the low score.
2. If the viewer does not read the discription, they will not know to view it again. This could be fixed by saying something on the replay button like, "Something different might happen".
3. More Endings. This is pretty obvious, but I felt need to say it anyway since I was making this list. I think that if you do another flash like this you should make it with at least 6 endings and incorporate somekind of system that, after viewing each random ending (of which we should only see one then move on) we should be able to see one Mega-ending parodying the one we saw after beating eternal darkness on all three alignments.
4. A popup? it was moderatly amusing, but it didn't fit the tone of the whole flash. Plus, I don't like how you have to click on it for it to return. I stared at it for ten seconds before I realized that I needed to click on it.
5. You need to make the endings cycle faster. Maybe I'm an extreme case of this, but I had to watch this 7 times before I got the third ending. I don't know how you would go about doing this, but I'm sure you can get someone to help you out with it somehow.
I hope make another because, despite it's problems, I REALLY enjoyed this flash.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
it rocks
i like it very dark
Rated 2 / 5 stars
I love PPG and I love ED, and that is why I do not love this flash. You take a brilliant idea and do absolutely nothing with it. You should make something longer and more creative. Good luck to you.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Well done! This is a brilliant flash, and a fantastically good one for it to be your first! This made me laugh, as I know how odd the insanity effects on ED: SR can get, and you sum it up fantastically.
And all of these people saying abut how you weren't scared, shut up and go play the game. Then you'll understand.
And on another note, the 3 insanity effects are independant of each other.


text: So here's the familiar SI base units from NIST length mass time electric current thermodynamic temperature amount (mole) luminous intensity Something has been bugging me about this. For whatever reason I am thinking all quantities are calculated by just three on the list - Lengths, times, and amounts. There's something special about these three things. Are these the only units we can really measure? (or observe?) What I'm getting at is that you can't really measure something like mass. It's calculated from displacement of a spring or whatever method you prefer. The same goes for current, it's calculated from a count (amount) and time. temperature is calculated by the displacement of mercury, but do you see what I mean? the actual measuring (or observing) part of everything comes down to lengths, times, and amounts. Does anyone follow me? Does that seem strange? What are your thoughts on this? (I might be abusing the word measure here, maybe observe is a better choice?)
