A Bend-based nonprofit wants to jump-start the region's flagging aviation economy by setting aside airspace above the high desert to flight-test the drones.
The goal is to attract developers and manufacturers to the region, using the remote testing area -- unlike any other in the nation -- as bait, said Collins Hemingway , a pilot and spokesman for Economic Development for Central Oregon.
"We don't care, frankly, where the jobs are created," Hemingway told ranchers, pilots and Harney County officials in Burns last week. "If they are created somewhere in Oregon, that's fine with us."
The controversial proposal calls for carving a flight testing area out of military airspace where the Oregon Air National Guard and other combat pilots now train. The area encompasses portions of Deschutes, Crook, Harney and Lake counties.
Drones designed for commercial applications are prohibited in general aviation airspace, and testing can be done only in restricted military airspace or via special certificates issued by the Federal Aviation Administration, Lee said. Getting permission to flight test so-called "unmanned aerial vehicles" sometimes takes six months, he said.
Pilotless aircraft range in size from a dinner plate to "a fighter aircraft, or larger," Lee said. Several companies have expressed interest in coming to central Oregon if a testing area becomes available, he said.
Insitu Inc., a Boeing subsidiary, is already nearby in the Columbia River Gorge town of Bingen, Wash. It uses airspace near Arlington and Boardman to test its unmanned aircraft. The company builds the pilotless ScanEagle, a 40-pound aircraft with a 10-foot wingspan used for surveillance, search and rescue, mapping, mineral exploration and research.
"We think it's going to be a couple of months before we can get enough of the FAA's attention to get them to sit down and talk to us," Hemingway told the Harney County gathering. "We would hope to have an answer within a year."
General aviation pilots currently have unrestricted access to the Juniper airspace, and many have grown used to jets turning and burning through the sky around them. But they say they aren't so relaxed about sharing the sky with pilotless aircraft.
Gary Miller, a Bend pilot and president of the 40-member Central Oregon Chapter of the Oregon Pilots Association, often flies his Cessna 210 across the Juniper area. He doesn't relish a collision with a drone, even a little one, he said, but he wants the airspace to remain open and unrestricted to private pilots.
Rancher Scott Franklin of Burns flies a 1950s-era Piper Cub into the airspace year-round to check cattle and fences and make sure gates are closed. He wants to continue doing that.
"Part of it is my family's ranch," Franklin said. "I've flown search and rescue missions out there. Somebody loses a horse, I've gone and found that out there."
Oregon Rocketry, a club that launches rockets up to 35,000 feet from a site inside the airspace near Brothers, had reservations at first, said launch director Randy Birzer of Eugene. After discussing the idea with Hemingway, they're less worried, he said.
Less confident is a loose community of hang-glider and parasail pilots who launch from 6,500-foot Pine Mountain near Millican, just outside the airspace. Their biggest worry is the possibility of closing the airspace.
Hang glider Rick Christen of Bend said up to 750 hang-glider and parasail enthusiasts sometimes gather there in summer.
"If it was closed, it would be like closing Mount Bachelor or something," he said. "You can't replace this once you've lost it."
Chris Dancy , spokesman for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association in Frederick, Md., said his 415,000-member organization "recognizes that the day is probably coming when you will have mixed manned and unmanned aircraft operating in the national airspace."
But that time hasn't yet arrived, he said. Most drones are flying blind, and until technological advances allow them to "sense and avoid" other aircraft, "mixing manned and unmanned in civil air space is not a wise move," he said.
The FAA has an established process for flight testing pilotless aircraft, and an arrangement like the one proposed for central Oregon "doesn't exist" anywhere in the nation, said Les Dorr , an FAA spokesman in Washington, D.C.
The FAA will consider the proposal, Dorr said, but he didn't appear to hold out much hope for having an area designated for drone flight testing while still being used for military exercises and general aviation. His agency is drafting new rules for unmanned aircraft systems weighing 55 pounds or less that will be released late in the year, he said.
"From our perspective, the commercial demand is secondary to the safety of the airspace," Dorr said.
The idea for the flight testing area was conceived by a group of Bend-Redmond aviation industry CEOs, engineers and others after about 1,200 central Oregon aircraft manufacturing jobs disappeared, Lee said.
Cessna, Lancair, Epic Aircraft and Windward Performance were hit hard by the recent economic downturn, and area aviation-related profits plummeted from roughly $500 million a year in 2006 to less than $100 million, he said.
Lee says central Oregon now has everything to become a manufacturing hub for pilotless aircraft, including a skilled work force and plenty of empty manufacturing space.
While the best-known unmanned aircraft in production probably is the Predator drone, manufactured by Boeing and General Atomics for the U.S. military, Hemingway says most drones eventually will be built for civilian applications -- canal and transmission line surveillance, forest fires spotting, search and rescues, law enforcement and many others, he said.
If Oregon doesn't become a research, development and manufacturing leader in the pilotless aircraft industry, another area will, Lee said.
"They are here, and they are here to stay," he said of the diminutive aircraft.

Routine PSA Screen Unwise: USPSTF
– 10/7/2011
October 7, 2011 - Most men should not routinely get a widely used blood test to check for prostate cancer because the exam does not save lives and leads to too much unnecessary anxiety, surgery and complications, a federal task force has concluded. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which triggered a firestorm of controversy in 2009 when it raised questions about routine mammography for breast cancer, will propose downgrading its recommendations for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer on Tuesday, wading into what is perhaps the most contentious and important issue in men's health.

Suggestions for Searching Jobs on the Job Board
Our office recommends that you do not enter anything in the search fields when searching for a job on the job board. Not all Employers enter in the specific majors or classifications that they are looking for and therefore their job might not show up if you choose a major or classification while performing a search.
For example: ABCD Company is looking for nurses so they posted a job on the Bulldog Job Board. When they posted it they did not enter a major in the major field. Anita Job, a recent grad from SWOSU went in and searched for jobs one day. She listed Nursing in the major field when she did the job search and found no jobs when she completed the search. This is because she limited her search when she entered nursing in the major field. So then Anita Job went back and left the major area blank. When she conducted her search this time she found the job that ABCD Company had posted along with many others that might fit her desires.
The only time we recommend entering an item into a search field is if you have a job ID for the specific job you are looking for or if you are searching for teaching jobs. If you are searching for teaching jobs you can enter "Education" into the School ID field. Upon completing the search you should see only education job listings.
Please let us know if you have any questions, we are here to help.
Thank you,
Career Services Staff

Helpful friendly staff, clean pleasant rooms, comfortable bed. Good breakfast. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended
The locked and easily accessible car park; the helpfulness of staff; the quietness of the immediate environment.
Not too easy to access the hotel from the main road on first arrival - but we shall know next time!
The room was quietly located overlooking the courtyard that doubled as a secure parking area. The room was good-sized and tastefully furnished. The bathroom was modern with an excellent shower. There was reliable free Wi-fi in the room. Restaurants were within easy walking distance.
Only minor points, but there was the occasional sound of passing trains, but not loud enough to prevent sleep. Cars starting up in the courtyard may disturb late risers.
Very well situated for our long trip from northern France to southern France. Tournon sur Rhone unexpectedly nice little town by the Rhone. Good budget hotel.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.

Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

The two books that have helped me the most with finger speed and dexterity have been the Clarke, and John McNeal's Jazz Trumpet Techniques. The McNeal book has a lot of cross fingerings and is excellent.
The two books that have helped me the most with finger speed and dexterity have been the Clarke, and John McNeal's Jazz Trumpet Techniques. The McNeal book has a lot of cross fingerings and is excellent.
Hey thanks man,
I'll look into that. But the thing is, I don't get it though. I mean I've never really had this problem until last week. How do I keep my ring finger from locking?
Keep them curled.
Perhaps the best exercise that I have run across for getting those digits in shape is the E major line of the second Clarke Technical Study (I believe it is #36). I play it using third valve for the A's and E's. You will be amazed just how awkward this is, and just how much more freely everything works after you master it. It really frees up the ring finger, which is naturally very inflexible on most people.
This isn't my idea at all, btw...I stole it from Claude Gordon's Systematic Approach.
As for the problem with fingers locking...Manny is absolutely right (of course). Make sure you are keeping your hand relaxed. It sounds as though you may be tensing your hand while trying to finger quickly, and tension is your enemy where this is concerned.
That's an interesting exercise... with 3rd valve for the Clarke second study. I'll have to try that. Has anyone ever tried the trick of using your left hand? You play through an akward passage using you left hand. You do this VERY slowly to make sure that you do it accurately. That is essential! You do it 3 times in a row successfully (slowly,) and then go back and play it with you right hand. It's amazing how well this works. I was told the reason it works is because you're training the other half of your brain to do the task at hand and so end up using more brain power in the end result. How cool is that.
But Manny, I found something unexpected that helped my fingers go faster... specifically speaking about the passage at the end of the Hummel. By listening to a recording of Maurice Andre playing the hummel and listening to that passage over and over, I began to realize that it IS possible to move that fast, and miraculously, my finger did move faster. It's not quite as fast and as clean as him (alas!) but it certainly is faster. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you think you can!

DISCLAIMER: This is a crazy, random post.
I thought today would be a good day to post something – you know – 12/12/12. I've been seeing a lot of posts about this on Facebook, including some about people who are so happy that the world hasn't ended yet. Not so fast I would say! I do not believe the world is going to end on the 21st this month. However, I think the human race might be wiped out some day (no I don't mean in less than 10 days), as a result of our own callousness if not as a direct result of some cosmic occurrence. But that's still aeons away.
In spite of all this crazy Doomsday talk, I actually pondered on a hypothetical situation where the world is coming to an end. Say the world was going to end for humans on the 21st of December 2012. Supposing everyone wasn't going hysterical over it but had begun to accept it and move on. What would you actually like to do before it ended? I think it would be fun just to imagine what one would do in such a short time.
I wonder if someone would actually have the time to make a plan about what to do – you know like a list of things to buy or a list of places to go to. Just that this is going to be sort of a morbid list, where you realise that no one is going to read anyway. Because the world is going to end (hypothetically, remember?).
Moving on…if I had about 9 days to make a plan about what to do before the world ended, this might resemble my supposed list.
Days until the world ends (in my dreams): 9
Day 1 – Make sure that my whole family is together (that's going to require some travel). Watch four different films (ones I've never watched before). Start packing feverishly.
Day 2 – Fly to any of the countries on my Travel Bucket List (but visas could be a problem for some of the countries!). Travel around with family and see whatever I wanted to see.
Day 3 – Relax. Hey! I'm still travelling remember? Hopefully wandering around in Armenia or Georgia.
Day 4 – Connect to the internet and tell people I like that they mean a lot to me (no I don't mean it in a 'love confession' sense). Cross the border into a neighbouring country if necessary.
Day 5 – Cross the border into Iran. (One or two days in one country is like having one or two grains of sugar for dessert).
Day 6 – Call up people I dislike to express how much I dislike them (or maybe not, because no one wants to know just a handful of days before the world ends that they weren't liked). Otherwise, go around and eat good food.
Day 7 – Fly into Afghanistan or Iraq. Do you really think they'd be major conflicts there if people knew the world was close to ending?
Day 8 – Fly back 'home'. I still don't know where that is. Meet extended family and spend time with them. Go to the beach with everyone and act like crazy kids.
Day 9 – Celebrate my birthday in advance (because I'm not going to see it anyway). Dress up in nice clothes, have a nice day with family and then wait for the end of the world. Fun right?
Though I laugh at the idea of the end of the world, I have to admit that it does get me thinking about what I really think is important for me. Who knew a weird theory like that could actually lead someone to think seriously about his/her priorities?
So if I really had to narrow down on who I would want to be with when the world ends – it would be my family. I would have loved to see some friends as well, but I guess everyone would want to be with their families or people they love before they die.
Where would I like to be when the world ends? I'm not sure. I'm still confused about where I belong! Maybe I'd love to be travelling at the time.
Since the world isn't actually going to end at all, this list is totally redundant, and so is this post. Now you see what I meant by 'this is a crazy, random post'.😀
My next post will probably be up after 9 days😉. Until then, 'live long and prosper'.
Just for fun – what would be on your list if the world was really going to end?

'Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy'
In 1979 British documentarian Graham Coleman went to India and Nepal and chronicled the rituals and meditative lifestyle of Tibetan monks displaced by the Chinese occupation. The resulting film was a nearly four-hour trilogy that, according to Coleman, was only shown in British cinemas in separateand scrambledsections. This year's model is realigned, decked out with cheesy digital "visions" of sacred figures and graced with new subtitles, some of them simply transcribing spiritual text over silent praying. On the plus side, Coleman has cut almost 100 minutesthe mind bogglesbut retained his three-act structure, and the upshot resembles an exhaustive BBC primer in Buddhist practice, with Coleman's narration dripping with awe, and the chanted, heavily encoded metaphysics all translated so faithfully in titles you'd think they were endless spasms of surrealist automatic writing. The monks' allegiance to their creed is framed as a political necessity in the post-1959-uprising climate, but watching tranquility and devotion does not translate to nonpractitioners as much more than a travel ad for the budding Larry Darrells among us. As the monks themselves threaten to nod off, the film's impressive narcotic effect enters the bloodstreamor so it may seem only for the unenlightened like me.

The 1931 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the summer and the first half of fall in 1931. The 1931 season was average in terms of tropical cyclone formation, but below average in number of hurricanes. 13 tropical cyclones formed during the year, but only three reached hurricane status, and one reached major hurricane status. The season's only major hurricane, the 1931 Belize hurricane, was a Category 4 hurricane that caused severe devastation in Belize, killing approximately 2,500 people. The other hurricane of the season struck Puerto Rico and mainland Mexico as a Category 1 causing some moderate damage.

Tropical Storm One[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|June 24 – June 28
|Peak intensity
|50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 1002 mbar (hPa)
The first of many weak storms in 1931, this one developed in the western Caribbean. Wind speeds never rose above 45 mph (72 km/h). The storm moved on a nearly straight northwest track, eventually making landfall near Port Mansfield, Texas. The area experienced squally weather but was otherwise unaffected. Numerous waterspouts were spotted offshore, all spawned by the tropical cyclone.
Tropical Storm Two[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|July 11 – July 17
|Peak intensity
|70 mph (110 km/h) (1-min) 996 mbar (hPa)
Storm Two also formed in the western Caribbean. It moved inland near Chetumal, Mexico and turned northward through the Yucatan Peninsula. It reached its peak intensity of 70 mph (110 km/h) two days later, after reemerging into the Gulf of Mexico. Continuing northward, it weakened just before landfall in central Louisiana to 50 mph (80 km/h) sustained winds. Gale winds and heavy rains were reported, but no damage reports exist. The storm dissipated over Oklahoma.
Tropical Storm Three[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|August 10 – August 19
|Peak intensity
|60 mph (95 km/h) (1-min) 1002 mbar (hPa)
The third storm of the season formed not far east of Martinique and tracked westward through the Caribbean, not gaining much intensity. It grazed the coast of Honduras and made landfall in central Belize. The storm briefly reemerged over the Bay of Campeche before moving into mainland Mexico and dissipating. Damage was minimal to non existent but it might have helped further saturate the area ahead of the catastrophic hurricane that would hit later in the season.
Tropical Storm Four[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|August 16 – August 21
|Peak intensity
|40 mph (65 km/h) (1-min)
Another weak storm, this one never strengthened past minimal tropical storm intensity, and in fact, may have only been a tropical depression but the data was inconclusive. It formed northeast of Barbados and curved north-northwestward through the Lesser Antilles. It passed directly over Puerto Rico on August 17. Little else is written about the storm but it is likely the region received rain saturation that could have exacerbated the damage from the San Nicolas hurricane that September.
Tropical Storm Five[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|September 1 – September 4
|Peak intensity
|45 mph (75 km/h) (1-min) 1007 mbar (hPa)
Tropical Storm Five developed north of the Lesser Antilles on September 1. It moved westward and struck Dominican Republic, before dissipating over Haiti on September 4.
Hurricane Six[edit]
|Category 4 hurricane (SSHWS)
|September 6 – September 12
|Peak intensity
|130 mph (215 km/h) (1-min) 952 mbar (hPa)
The 5th storm of the 1931 season remains the deadliest hurricane, and natural disaster, in Belize's history. It devastated the entire northern coast of the country. It formed east of the Barbados in early September and moved through the Caribbean, not strengthening much for the first four days of its life. On September 10, however, the storm began to rapidly intensify; going from a tropical storm to a Category 4 hurricane with 135 mph (217 km/h) winds in a very short period of time. September 10 is a national holiday in Belize, celebrating the defeat of the Spanish in the Battle of St. George's Caye much like Americans celebrate the Fourth of July. This, or its sudden intensification on the day of its landfall, perhaps increased the death toll. Belize City was nearly destroyed by the storm surge. As many as 2,500 people lost their lives in the hurricane. The storm then moved over the Bay of Campeche and made a second landfall near Veracruz and dissipated inland.
Hurricane Seven[edit]
|Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
|September 8 – September 16
|Peak intensity
|100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min) 987 mbar (hPa)
The second hurricane that season, Storm Six, also known as the San Nicolas Hurricane, formed a couple hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands on September 8 and took a nearly straight course for most of its lifetime. It strengthened into a hurricane while over the British Virgin Islands, briefly becoming a Category 2, weakening just before landfall in Puerto Rico. It struck the island only hours before Storm Five hit Belize. Due to the small size of the storm, damage was limited to a 5 or 6-mile (9.7 km) radius in the San Juan area. Two people were killed and damage was restricted to trees, windows, power lines and roofing. Storm Six weakened to a tropical storm and crossed over parts of Hispaniola and Jamaica and later made landfall near Majahual, Mexico. It regained hurricane status in the Bay of Campeche and made landfall near Veracruz. Gusts as high as 95 mph (153 km/h) were recorded in Veracruz. Apparently there was little damage to the city itself but several small boats were lost offshore and several sailors drowned. The 800-ton steamer Dos Equis sank with the loss of everyone on board. No exact figures exist. The storm quickly dissipated inland.
Hurricane Eight[edit]
|Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
|September 23 – September 28
|Peak intensity
|75 mph (120 km/h) (1-min) 987 mbar (hPa)
Hurricane Eight existed from September 23 to September 28 in the open Atlantic Ocean.
Tropical Storm Nine[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|October 13 – October 16
|Peak intensity
|45 mph (75 km/h) (1-min) 1000 mbar (hPa)
A tropical depression developed in the vicinity of the Bahamas on October 13. After strengthening into a tropical storm, the system accelerated northeastward and became extratropical east of Bermuda on October 16.
Tropical Storm Ten[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|October 18 – October 20
|Peak intensity
|45 mph (75 km/h) (1-min) 1004 mbar (hPa)
The tenth storm of the season formed in the western Caribbean on October 18 and took a nearly straight northeasterly track. Little is written of this storm in the Monthly Weather Review report, but according to the Best Track data, it crossed central Cuba the day after formation and trekked over the open Atlantic for the next three days. Wind speeds never exceeded 45 mph (72 km/h) and no damage reports exist.
Tropical Storm Eleven[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|November 1 – November 5
|Peak intensity
|65 mph (100 km/h) (1-min) 1011 mbar (hPa)
Tropical Storm Eleven existed in the northwestern Caribbean Sea from November 1 to November 5.
Tropical Storm Twelve[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|November 11 – November 16
|Peak intensity
|50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min) 1003 mbar (hPa)
A tropical depression developed in the southeastern Caribbean Sea on November 11. It moved northwestward and later strengthened into a tropical storm. The system made landfall in the Yucatan Peninsula, before dissipating over the Bay of Campeche on November 16.
Tropical Storm Thirteen[edit]
|Tropical storm (SSHWS)
|November 22 – November 25
|Peak intensity
|65 mph (100 km/h) (1-min) 998 mbar (hPa)
The final storm of the season formed in late November north of the Leeward Islands. The storm moved northwestward over the western Atlantic before turning west-southwestward on November 24. It dissipated near the northern Bahamas.

Rookie RB Sleepers: Handcuffs With Upside
The Seahawks surprised everyone in the draft and took the running back that was drawing comparisons to their current workhorse running back, Marshawn Lynch. Micheal is a physical runner, and although he has had his share of injuries and off-field issues, he might be the most talented running back in the draft and a steal for the Seahawks. Micheal should become the No. 1 handcuff for Marshawn Lynch, as Robert Turbin was slightly unimpressive from the small sample size in 2012, and because of Lynch's history of back problems and looming suspension, Michael needs to be drafted by anyone who owns or plans to own Lynch in 2013.

This review is from: EVGA ACX Cooler 03G-P4-2784-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
Pros: This card has been great to me. Runs everything at max setting I have thrown at it and stays at or below 65 degrees. Pretty amazing piece of hardware (especially since I am upgrading from an 8800 GTS). I chose this card over the GTX 770 because they extra money seemed worth the extra performance. The price/performance jump to the GTX 780Ti still seems not worth it to me though.
Cons: This is where EVGA has lost my business. The rebate is a total scam, and while I realize this is true for all mail in rebates, I had high hopes for my favorite hardware company. At this point they have wasted about three hours of my time sending me in circles over $20 measly dollars. I followed the instructions exactly and even emailed them pictures after they denied my claim. They then told me to call an 800 number. The woman at that number told me the exact same thing the email said. I am now done dealing with EVGA completely. I will be the bigger man and give the graphics card 5 eggs because it deserves it (when I look at the number of eggs I want to know about the hardware). However, EVGA customer service deserves no eggs. So 5 out of 10 eggs if you include customer service and appreciation.
Other Thoughts: I really don't want to give up on EVGA, but I spend too much money on PC hardware to be treated like this. There are too many other quality hardware companies out there that would be happy to have my business.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: NZXT H630 CA-H630F-M1 Matte Black Ultra Tower Silent Case Includes 1 x 200mm Front, 1 x 140mm Rear 2 x USB 3.0 2 x USB 2.0 SD Card Reader
Pros: This case has been everything I hoped for. Tons of room with plenty left over after assembly of my build. While not totally silent (obviously), it is not at all noticeable unless it is the only thing on in the room. I added three 120mm fans to this case so I am impressed that it is still so quiet. The air circulation is great even though it seems like it wouldn't be.
I love the sleek simple look of this case. If you are looking for a large, sleek and quiet case then look not further. I am coming from an antec p180 and I love this case so much more.
Cons: The only thing I can ding it for is that you can't turn on the back panel LED while the PC is not powered on.
Other Thoughts: Great case and I couldn't be happier. I had never heard of NZXT before this purchase so I am pretty stoked about how awesome this case is.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Pros: This motherboard works great. The bios let you use a USB mouse which is pretty cool. Started right up out of the box first try. No complaints about the hardware.
Cons: Here is the reason why I will probably go back to EVGA exclusively after this board. MSI's rebate program is a joke. I followed the extremely convoluted rebate instructions as closely as possible and on time. I mailed it to their rebate center in California with a copy of the order invoice, a signed form I had to print out, and the UPC from the box all after I had to initiate the stupid process online. After all the trouble they returned it to me and said I mailed it to the wrong MSI rebate center and to send it to the one in Texas. I did that as soon as they returned it to me and I have yet to hear anything back from them. I'm assuming because by the time they returned it to me the 30 day rebate period had passed. I don't like being jerked around after going through so much trouble for a $20 rebate and probably won't do business with MSI again because I feel like they could help me but choose not to.
Other Thoughts: I am about to buy a GTX 770 to complete my build and will be purchasing it from anyone but MSI now.READ FULL REVIEW

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the ceramic-based coating comprises yttria-stabilized zirconia.
9. The method of claim 7, wherein the metallic-based substrate comprises a superalloy comprising at least one of iron, nickel, or cobalt.
[0002]This invention generally relates to protective coatings for metal alloy components exposed to high temperature gas environments and severe operating conditions, such as the working components of gas turbine engines used in electrical power generation. More particularly, the invention relates to a thermal barrier coating (TBC) for use in gas turbine engines and a method for producing a TBC coating.
[0003]The operating conditions to which gas turbine hardware components are exposed may be thermally and chemically severe. The surfaces of the metal substrates used to form turbine, combustor and augmentor components should exhibit greater than average mechanical strength, durability and erosion resistance in a very hostile, high temperature gas environment. "Erosion" generally refers to the process whereby a surface, particularly metal, is bombarded by contaminant particles of sufficiently high energy that cause other particles to be ejected (eroded) from the surface, resulting in degradation and cracking of the substrate material.
[0004]Recent advances have been achieved by using high temperature alloys in gas turbine systems by incorporating iron, nickel and cobalt-based superalloys in coatings applied to the substrate of key turbine components. The purpose of an effective surface coating is generally two-fold. First, the coating should form a protective and adherent layer that guards the underlying base material against oxidation, corrosion, and degradation. Second, the coating should have low thermoconductivity relative to the substrate. As superalloy compositions have become more complex, it has been increasingly difficult to obtain both the higher strength levels that are required (particularly at increased gas turbine operating temperatures) and a satisfactory level of corrosion and oxidation resistance. The trend towards higher gas turbine firing temperatures has made the oxidation, corrosion and degradation problems even more difficult. Thus, despite recent improvements in thermal barrier coatings, a significant need may still exist for more cost-effective, more efficacious, and less degradable high temperature coatings, because many alloy components cannot withstand the long service exposures and repetitive cycles encountered in a typical gas turbine environment.
[0005]Many of the known prior art coatings used for gas turbine components include aluminide and ceramic components. Typically, ceramic coatings have been used in conjunction with a bond coating formed from an oxidation-resistant alloy such as MCrAlY, where M is iron, cobalt, and/or nickel, or from a diffusion aluminide or platinum aluminide that forms an oxidation-resistant intermetallic. In higher temperature applications, these bond coatings form an oxide layer or "scale" that chemically bonds to the ceramic layer to form the final bond coating.
[0006]It has also been known to use zirconia (ZrO2) that is partially or fully stabilized by yttria (Y2O3), magnesia (MgO) or other oxides as the primary constituent of the ceramic layer. Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is often used as the ceramic layer for thermal bond coatings because it may exhibit favorable thermal cycle fatigue properties. That is, as the temperature increases or decreases during gas turbine start up and shut down, the YSZ is capable of resisting stresses and fatigue much better than other known coatings. Typically, the YSZ is deposited on the metal substrate using known methods, such as air plasma spraying (APS), low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS), as well as by physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques such as electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD). Notably, YSZ deposited by EBPVD is characterized by a strain-tolerant columnar grain structure that enables the substrate to expand and contract without causing damaging stresses that lead to spallation. The strain-tolerant nature of such systems may be known. See generally U.S. Pat. No. 6,730,413 for a description of a known thermal barrier coating system.
[0007]The production of vertical cracks in a manufacturing environment may be difficult and/or problematic. In certain aspects, the present invention may generally relate to a process involving inducing cracks or microcracks in a post-coating application. This may facilitate the thermal barrier coating be applied densely, which may be easier to accomplish. After application, the coating may be selectively cracked, e.g., using shockwave exposure.
[0008]Laser peening is well known and understood in the art. For example, laser peening has been used to create a compressively stressed protection layer at the outer surface of a workpiece which is known to considerably increase the resistance of the workpiece to fatigue failure as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,937,421. Laser shock peening has also been used create deep compressive residual stresses into a turbine blade as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,591,009.
[0009]In an aspect, an embodiment may generally relate to a method for forming cracks in a thermal barrier coating applied to a gas turbine component. The method may include the following steps: depositing a bond coating on a metallic substrate, wherein the bond coating comprises MCrAlY, where M is iron, cobalt, and/or nickel, and wherein the metallic substrate comprises a gas turbine component; depositing a thermal barrier coating on the bond coating, wherein the thermal barrier coating comprises yttria-stabilized zirconia; subjecting at least a portion of the thermal barrier coating to a shockwave such that microcracks are formed in the thermal barrier coating and such that the metallic substrate is not substantially deformed.
[0010]In an aspect, an embodiment may generally relate to a method of forming cracks in a ceramic-based coating. The method may include the following steps: depositing a ceramic-based coating on a metallic-based substrate, wherein the ceramic-based coating comprises a thermal barrier coating; and subjecting at least a portion of the ceramic-based coating to a shockwave such that microcracks are formed in the ceramic-based coating and such that the metallic-based substrate is not substantially deformed.
[0011]FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a metal substrate, such as a high pressure gas turbine blade, showing the thermal barrier coating as applied to the blade using a laser shock process in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
[0012]FIG. 2 schematically illustrates the amount of energy required to induce cracks in a thermal barrier coating.
[0013]As noted above, thermal barrier coatings according to the present invention are applicable to various metal alloy components (so-called "superalloys") that must still be protected from a thermally and chemically hostile environment. Examples of such components include nozzles, buckets, shrouds, airfoils, and other hardware found in almost any gas turbine engine.
[0014]The coating may be any known TBC composition, e.g., it may consist of a thermal insulating ceramic layer whose composition and deposition significantly enhance the erosion resistance of the turbine components while maintaining a spallation resistance equivalent to or better than conventional coatings. The coating composition may be applied then cracked after application.
[0015]High pressure turbine blades are prime examples of the substrates to which coatings in accordance with the invention can be applied. Typically, turbine blades have an airfoil and a platform against which hot combustion gases are directed during operation of the gas turbine. Thus the airfoil surfaces are subjected to attack by oxidation, corrosion, and erosion. The airfoil normally is anchored to a turbine disk with a dovetail formed on a root section of the blade.
[0016]FIG. 1 shows a thermal barrier coating in accordance with the invention as applied to a substrate. The coating 10 includes a thermal-insulating ceramic layer 12 over a bond coating 14 that overlies a metal alloy substrate 16 which may form the base material of the turbine blade. Suitable materials for the substrate include iron-, nickel-, and/or cobalt-based superalloys. The bond coating may be oxidation resistant and may form an alumina layer 18 on the surface of the bond coating when the coated blade is exposed to elevated temperatures. The alumina layer may protect the underlying superalloy substrate 16 from oxidation and may provide a surface to which the ceramic layer adheres.
[0017]Within layer 12, there are vertical cracks that have been formed so as to increase and/or induce strain tolerance. Crack induction via shockwave exposure may enable the cracks to be placed in the material in particularly desirable areas and at specifically desirable densities. To form the cracks, coupled ablation may be used to induce a shockwave into a material. The coupled ablation may be achieved through the use of a pulsed laser in a process similar to laser shock peening, where a laser is pulsed thorough the coupling material and into the ablative material thus creating a shockwave.
[0018]In the prior art, laser shock peening may be used to densify the material. In the case of a TBC, though, the resultant shockwave can induce microcracks within the coating to provide strain tolerance. Other means of shockwave exposure may be possible. Other means of coupled ablation may also be possible.
[0019]In an exemplary embodiment, a strain tolerant TBC may be formed using laser shock peening. A thermal barrier coating may be applied to a metallic substrate using an air plasma spray. A bond coat may be MCrAlY (where M is iron, cobalt, and/or nickel), and the TBC may be 8% yttria-stabilized zirconia or any other ceramic-based coating used as a thermal barrier on turbine components. After application to the substrate, the TBC may be laser shock peened.
[0020]The energy used to induce the microcracks in the TBC should preferably not substantially deform the substrate. Thus, the energy should be relatively low because the coating may be very thin. In order to substantially deform the substrate, the energy of the shock wave would need be to sufficient to impart stress at or above the plastic yield of the substrate but below its compressive strength. In contrast thereto, the energy used to induce microcracks in the TBC should be sufficient to impart stress above compressive strength of the TBC. Because the metallic substrate may be ductile, and the ceramic TBC may be brittle, there may be a particular level of energy that can be selected or determined.
[0021]FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a general description of the amount of energy required to induce cracks in a TBC. The amount of energy (per unit area) to fracture a material is represented by the area under the stress/strain curve. FIG. 2 illustrates a typical porous TBC coating. The porosity reduces the "effective" cross-sectional area and therefore reducing the force required for fracture (because energy is a function of force not pressure or stress). This may effectively reduce the area under the curve considerably.
[0022]In preferred embodiments, a thermal barrier coating experiences a shockwave (e.g., via laser ablation) and is fractured. The energy that may be required may depend on the source of the shockwave, e.g., laser ablation or other, and/or the properties of material being cracked.
[0023]Thus, in certain embodiments, a process (e.g., laser ablation or laser shock peening) may produce a microstructural features (e.g., vertical cracks). This may increase the durability of a turbine component and/or reduce manufacturing costs. For example, a simple dense coating may be applied to a component, and the vertical cracks can be induced in areas that they are needed. That is, cracks need not be introduced throughout an entire coating via processing parameters.
[0024]While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Mr BignoldGreat lube, use it on both my mtbs. All weathers, all conditions, all year round. Highly recommended.
Mr PiercyGreat oil in all conditions
Mr DavidsonA heavy wet lube that works very well. Due to it being so heavy it does have a tendancy to collect grit etc but I find that if you wipe all the excess lube off after application then the amount of grit and grime picked up is minimal. Deffinately one to consider if you are riding in really wet conditions and you don't mind regularly giving your drive train a good clean.
Mr CraigPerfect lube for the lovely winter weather in the UK
MattUsually use epic ride but thought I'd try wet ride this time. Seems to work well, it's a very heavy lube and it does attract a lot of dirt so chain needs a proper clean after every ride.
CooThe only lube I buy - does the job perfectly.
Mr BurkeJust started using this on our family's various bikes and after a few wet rides the chains are still running well. Bit sticky for drier conditions, but I guess the clue is in the name! Usual great service from Merlin, cheers!
Mr PickerTop lube, the only one you need in the UK!

Advanced Clinical Practice (MSc/PgCert)
n/a (full-time) / MSc: 4 years (part-time); PgCert: 2 years (part-time) / n/a (distance / e-Learning)
The optimal date for applications for 2017/2018 for Advanced Clinical Practice is the end of July 2017. Your application will be considered after this date but it may be for a later intake
Course Aims
This innovative MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice, developed in collaboration with health care professionals, is designed to prepare clinicians from a variety of professions to undertake advanced practice roles.
Modern healthcare practice has seen traditional professional boundaries change to reflect the demands of national healthcare policy, the scope of practice and patient needs. Increasingly, advanced practitioners in nursing, midwifery and allied health professions have to be prepared both academically and clinically to deliver complex care traditionally delivered by doctors.
This programme aims to advance practice through facilitating the individual's capability to extend their competence to advanced practitioner level through education, clinical experience and support from a Designated Supervising Medical Practitioner (DSMP).
Course Description
The MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice is a four year, part time programme, and is made up of 180 credits, including 4 taught modules of 30 credits each, plus the Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio (60 credits).
In addition to the Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio, students are required to undertake the core Research plus 3 optional modules of their choice, from a defined menu of available modules (see below).
Students are required to complete a minimum of 1200 hours of associated practice. During the clinically focused hours students will be under direct and/or indirect supervision by their allocated DSMP or a designated Advanced Practitioner/Medical Practitioner.
Assessments used within the programme relate to the measurement of professional, academic and clinical practice, and will include written work such as reflective narratives, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE's) situational analyses, case study analysis, oral/ teaching presentations, seminars, project work and completion of the Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolios (competencies).
In addition to the group discussions provided, each student will have the opportunity for five individual tutorials per Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio module with their academic supervisor. The DSMP will support the completion of the Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio.
Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Clinical Practice
To support the development of practitioners aiming to work at advanced practitioner level within practice who already hold a Masters level qualification, the Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio is available as a stand-alone Postgraduate Certificate.
A two-year, part-time programme, the Postgraduate Certificate is run in conjunction with the MSc and consists of the Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio only.
Available Modules
Compulsory module
- Research methods and health improvement in health and social care (HCT118)
- Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio (NRT176)
Optional modules
- Advanced Clinical Assessment for Healthcare Professionals (NRT181)
- Analysing and Interpreting Advanced Practice (NRT174)
- Non-Medical Prescribing NRT082 + NRT083
- Clinical Patient Assessment for Health Professionals (NR3177)
- Advancing Assessment and Decision Making (NRT153)
- Patient Safety and Clinical Risk (NRT073)
- Transforming Care, Systems and Services Through Leadership (NRT150)

- Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy Theory and Application (HCT236)
- Creativity, Innovation and the Art of Therapies (HCT338)
- Understanding Cancer: Patient and Professional Perspectives (HCT150)
Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio
- The Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio is an innovative alternative to a dissertation, created to take into account the nature of the Advanced Practitioner role. The Portfolio is launched at the beginning of the programme, to allow the student to capture any opportunity to experience and achieve competencies, and clinical and learning hours. It will provide a clinically focused programme that integrates the anatomy and physiology, altered physiology and advanced practice competencies required to underpin the treatments and decisions made in clinical practice, at band 7 Advanced Practitioner level.
- The Advanced Clinical Practice Portfolio will comprise of two elements: a competency document within a portfolio of evidence (maximum 10,000 words), worth 70% of the final module mark, and situational analyses (maximum 10,000 words), that will draw together the student's learning exemplifying evidence based practice, worth 30% of the final mark.
- Students will be encouraged to examine theoretical aspects of decision-making, with a view to analysing and developing existing practice, and to develop strategies for effective and defendable practice based on analyses of situations experienced in practice. Students will be supported by a DSMP, and will be expected to complete a minimum of 1200 hours of associated practice.
Skills Acquired
The programme is designed to prepare clinicians from a variety of professions to undertake an advanced practice role within their area of expertise.
Employer Profile
"The MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice is a course that has been custom designed to equip the practitioner with the necessary knowledge and skills to take on the demanding role of Advanced Clinical Practice.
