Report: Atlanta Falcons Investigated For "Fake" Crowd Noise
Leon Halip/Getty Images(ATLANTA, Ga.) -- While national attention has been drawn to the New England Patriots and underinflated footballs, another NFL team is being investigated for cheating.
The Atlanta Falcons are accused of projecting artificial crowd noise into the Georgia Dome over the past two seasons, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"We were informed during the season that the league office is looking into crowd noise during our games," a Falcons team spokesman said. "We have cooperated fully with them, and we're awaiting the outcome."
The Falcons are alleged to have played phony crowd noise while the opposing team huddled to call its play.
In a similar fashion to deflated footballs, some question how much of an advantage was gained. Many teams now utilize a silent count by which the offense begins their play based on when the center snaps the ball, rather than the quarterback starting the play with an audible sound.
The Falcons are 6-10 the past two seasons at home.

Report: Dan Quinn to Be Named Falcons Head Coach
Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images
(ATLANTA, Ga.) -- Once the Super Bowl has concluded, the Atlanta Falcons are expected to name Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as their head coach, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
Quinn, 44, has served as defensive coordinator of the Seahawks defense for the past two seasons after replacing Gus Bradley, who took the head job with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Falcons have already named Kyle Shanahan as the team's offensive coordinator, though it has been rumored that his hiring is contingent on Quinn being hired.
Raheem Morris, a former player of Quinn at Hofstra in 1990, will likely join the Falcons as defensive coordinator. Morris was previously head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2009-2011.
Quinn has been in a bit of a tricky situation because of NFL rules. As a member of a coaching staff that is actively in the postseason, Quinn was only available to interview during the Seahawks bye weeks -- the wild card round and this week leading up to the Super Bowl. No team was able to hire him until the Seahawks season concluded.
He will replace Mike Smith, who served as Falcons head coach for the past seven seasons.

Falcons Fire Head Coach Mike Smith
David Dermer/Diamond Images/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- After seven seasons on the job, the Atlanta Falcons have fired head coach Mike Smith.
Despite heading into Sunday's game at 6-9, they had a chance to win the NFC South against the Carolina Panthers. They wound up losing 34-4, and that was the final straw for Smith in Atlanta.
"Smitty's contributions to our club, team and city over the last seven years are numerous," team owner Arthur Blank said in a release. "His accomplishments on the field made him the most successful coach in the 49-year history of the Falcons, and we are grateful for the foundation he has laid for us for the future."
Smith won double-digit games in four of his first five seasons in Atlanta, including a 13-3 record in 2012.
The team experienced little playoff success despite the team going 66-46 under Smith. Atlanta made the playoffs four times under Smith, but went just 1-4 in the postseason.
Smith is the Falcons' all-time coaching wins leader.

Falcons Sweep Saints; Set Up NFC South Title Bout with Panthers
Leon Halip/Getty Images(NEW ORLEANS, La) -- With the season sweep of the New Orleans Saints, the Atlanta Falcons guaranteed that the winner of the NFC South will have a losing record.
The Falcons defeated the Saints 30-14 Sunday, giving both teams a 6-9 record on the season.
Matt Ryan led the Atlanta charge, completing 30 of 40 passes for 322 yards and one touchdown pass to Eric Weems.
Julio Jones returned from injury and looked in fine form, as he caught seven passes for 107 yards.
Drew Brees and the Saints offense continued their season-long inconsistencies. Jimmy Graham fumbled on the Falcons' 1-yard line in the fourth quarter, and Drew Brees threw two interceptions, including one to Robert McClain that set up an Atlanta field goal.
The Falcons will host the Carolina Panthers (6-8-1) next week in Atlanta, with the winner earning the NFC South crown.

Packers Stay Strong at Home Against Falcons
Tom Lynn /Getty Images(GREEN BAY, Wi.) -- The Green Bay Packers maintained home dominance with a 43-37 victory over the Atlanta Falcons Monday night.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers continued his MVP-like season, completing 24 of 36 passes for 327 yards and three touchdowns.
The Packers also leaned on their running game to keep the Falcons off balance. Eddie Lacy and James Starks each ran for a touchdown and combined for 148 yards on 23 carries.
The Falcons fell behind early, surrendering a 24 point lead at halftime. Julio Jones helped lead an Atlanta rally, catching a career best 259 yards on 11 catches, including a 22-yard touchdown that contributed to a 20 point Falcons fourth quarter.
Green Bay (10-3) has won all seven of their home games so far this season, scoring at least 38 points in four of their last five games in Lambeau. Their final home game will be in week 17 against the Detroit Lions, who are one game behind the Packers in the NFC North at 9-4.

Monday Night Football Preview
Tom Lynn /Getty Images(GREEN BAY, Wisc.) -- The Green Bay Packers will host the Atlanta Falcons on Monday in a battle of two first place teams.
Green Bay is coming off an impressive 26-21 win over the Patriots last Sunday and quarterback Aaron Rodgers knows how critical winning in the final stretch of the season is.
"We have some big goals, and we're getting into December football now with a chance with everything right in front of us," Rodgers said.
Rodgers has completed 66.3 percent of his passes and has thrown 32 touchdowns this year..
"No disrespect to any quarterback in the NFL, but right now he's at a level that much higher than anybody else," Falcons head coach Mike Smith said this week. "I don't know that there's been a quarterback that's had a stretch like he's had in the history of the NFL."

Cundiff Does It Again, Browns Beat Falcons Late
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images(ATLANTA) -- The Cleveland Browns let a nine point fourth quarter lead slip away, but kicker Billy Cundiff hit another game winning field goal as time expired to give his team a 26-24 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer threw three picks, but found a way to lead his team down the field in the final minute to set up the Cundiff game winner.
Browns Josh Gordon pulled in eight passes for 127 yards in his first game since being suspended for 10 games due to violating the NFL substance abuse policy.
"I knew the guys weren't going to quit on me," Gordon said. "I definitely wasn't going to quit on them."
Hoyer admitted that he was not happy with his performance even though the Browns came out with the win.
"Nothing to lose, really," Hoyer said when asked about the final drive. "Go out and play fearless. That's all I have at that point."

Falcons Collapse in London, Lose to Lions 22-21
Leon Halip/Getty Images(LONDON) -- The Atlanta Falcons led at halftime over the Lions 21-0. When they looked up at the clock as the game was over, the score favored Detroit 22-21.
The Falcons suffered a defensive breakdown with 4:38 to go in the third quarter as Golden Tate ran past two Atlanta defenders and caught a 59-yard bomb from Matt Stafford, closing Atlanta's early lead to 21-10.
On the ensuing drive, with pressure in his face quarterback Matt Ryan threw a terrible inteception to Lions cornerback Cassius Vaughn.
"In my mind, that kind of cost us the ball game," Ryan said. "I was trying to throw the ball away and I never saw him."
The Falcons defense remained stought and held the Lions to a field goal. The Lions would score another touchdown in the fourth quarter when Matt Stafford found Theo Riddick on a five yard completion. The score was now 21-19 after Detroit missed a two point attempt to tie the game.
The Falcons would try to run the clock out with a poorly executed drive. With less than two minutes to go the Falcons commited a holding penalty that would stop the clock at 1:55. On the next play, Matt Ryan attempted a screen to Julio Jones, who dropped the ball. Atlanta would punt the ball inside Detroit's ten yard line.
Detroit would march down the field with little resistance. Settling at Atlanta's 25 yard line, Detroit lined up for a field goal and newly signed kick Matt Prater pushed the ball wide right. Atlanta ran on the field in celebration only to find out a whistle had blown. The Lions were called for a delay of game penalty: the kick was negated. Prater got a second chance and drilled it though the uprights.
That's football. He missed it and there was a delay of game penalty," Mike Smith, Falcons head coach said after the loss. "Thought we were going to squeak one out. Obviously we didn't."

Joe Flacco: Still Have to Put the Work In
Rob Carr/Getty Images(BALTIMORE) -- The Baltimore Ravens will have the spotlight to themselves after the Orioles were knocked out of the ALCS by the Royals on Wednesday.
Fresh off throwing five touchdown passes, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is making sure his team does everything they can to prepare the right way after blowing out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday.
Flacco said the biggest challenge the team will face after an easy win is "coming in here and reminding yourself and everybody to put the work in. I think that comes naturally for us, it's something we're good at doing, once you get out there on Sunday everything takes care of itself."
Concerning Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, Flacco said: "We were in the same class. As long as you're still talking about us, we're somewhat relevant, so I guess that's a good thing. It's nice to see that we are still relevant."
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh knows the Falcons will be hungry for a win after losing three in a row.
"Atlanta's good. They're going to be on turf, so they're going to be fast," Harbaugh said. "They've got big, fast receivers. They've got fast running backs, and they got a quarterback that drives the whole thing. That's an explosive football team, and we've got to be ready for them."
The Ravens will host the Atlanta Falcons, who are 0-3 on the road this season.

Falcons Prepare for Vikings
Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images(ATLANTA) -- The Atlanta Falcons will travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings on Sunday.
Minnesota will be sending out rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater for his first career start after veteran Matt Cassel was injured last weekend and ruled out for the remainder of the season.
"It's a lifelong dream to play and start in this league," Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan said of Bridgewater making his first start. "It's a really special day; it's one that you'll never forget. I think Teddy will do a great job."
Falcons head coach Mike Smith knows that facing a rookie quarterback will be tough for his defense.
"We've got a challenge in my mind with an athletic quarterback to be able to keep him in the pocket," Smith said after Monday's practice.
"He is very athletic. ... He was able to make some plays with his feet. That's another dynamic. ... I think you'll see they want to put the ball in his hands and give him some run-pass options. That's one of his strengths, the ability to extend plays, and he did a great job as a college quarterback extending plays. We'll have to do some different things in preparing for him, in regards to pass rush and pass-rush lanes."
Atlanta is averaging 34.3 points per game this season and Ryan went 21 of 24 and threw three touchdowns in their 56-14 rout of the Rams last Thursday.
"They've got a lot of weapons," Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said. "We're going to have to do a great job of being in the right place. We have to make sure we're in the right position of coverage all day."Follow @ABCNewsRadio Copyright 2014 ABC News Radio

Falcons receiver Devin Hester scored twice, the second time on a 62-yard punt return that moved him ahead of Deion Sanders for the most return touchdowns in NFL history.
"It's tough to break the record of the guy who is my No. 1 mentor," Hester said. "I'm kind of emotional right now."Tampa Bay (0-3) turned the ball over five times and mustered only 217 yards of offense in the loss. Julio Jones caught nine passes for 161 yards and two touchdowns for Atlanta, which improves its record to 2-1.

Bryant's Kick KO's Saints in OT
Leon Halip/Getty Images(ATLANTA) -- Matt Bryant's 52 yard field goal 1:43 into overtime clinched the Atlanta Falcons 37-34 victory over their division rival New Orleans Saints on Sunday. The Saints had the ball first in overtime, but receiver Marques Colston fumbled the ball, allowing the Falcons the chance to win on a field goal. Before overtime, it was the Matt Ryan show: the Falcons quarterback threw for a franchise-record 448 yards and three touchdowns in the win. "He's played a lot of games, made a lot of plays for us," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "But I was really impressed with his ability to extend some plays by moving around in the pocket. And he was very, very accurate. When you have (568 yards) of total offense and 448 through the air, your quarterback is playing well." Julio Jones was on the receiving end of many of Ryan's passes. After missing most of last season with a broken foot, Jones returned to the field catching seven balls for 116 yards. Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 29 of 42 passes for 333 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Falcons Reward Roddy White with Four-Year Extension
Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- One of the longest tenured members of the Atlanta Falcons is sticking around even longer as the team has agreed on a four-year extension with wide receiver Roddy White.
White's new deal is worth up to $30 million, which includes $18 million over the next two seasons.
"I always wanted to be back in Atlanta,'' White told ESPN.com. "Once we got to the guaranteed money that I wanted to get to that I felt would secure my future as a football player, then I could sign a contract. When we got it done, I was happy, because I don't want to go anywhere. I love this place. I wanted to be here. And I'm going to be here for the next four years.''
The 32-year-old White has been with the Falcons since he was drafted 27th overall by the team during the 2005 Draft. From 2007-2012, White averaged nearly 1,200 receiving yards. Since entering the NFL, his 685 receptions rank eighth among active players, while his 9,436 receiving yards rank fifth.

Falcons Lose Linebacker Sean Weatherspoon for the Season
David Dermer/Diamond Images/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The Atlanta Falcons are dealing with the loss of a defensive starter before training camp has even started as linebacker Sean Weatherspoon will miss the entire 2014 season with a ruptured Achilles tendon.
The team had been holding out Weatherspoon from organized team activities as he recovered from a knee injury. He apparently was running with the medical staff when he suffered the injury.
"We sent Sean to the doctor for some additional testing and evaluation and unfortunately the results showed that he ruptured his Achilles tendon," coach Mike Smith said in a statement. "Sean had been working extremely hard to get back on the field, but regrettably he will miss the entire 2014 season. He will have a procedure done in the near future and we expect him to make a full recovery."
Unfortunately for Weatherspoon, he's entering the final year of his contract with the team, leaving his future in Atlanta up in the air.
The 26-year-old Weatherspoon has played just 16 games in one season in his four NFL seasons.

Published in the Ocala Star-Banner on Tuesday, October 4, 2011 at 3:47 p.m.
In 1983, with her five children grown and out of the house and her husband entering retirement, Helen Ming decided to volunteer a few hours at Munroe Regional Medical Center. Now 72, Ming said those few hours grew over the years. Now, she often puts in five days a week as chairwoman of the hospital's gift shop.
"One thing led to another, and the next thing I know, I was totally involved," said Ming. "I really enjoy it. I get a lot more out of this job than I can contribute."
Ming, who won the 2009 Hospital Heroes Award out of thousands of volunteers across the state, was among 658 volunteers recognized Saturday, Oct. 1, during MRMC Auxiliary's 35th annual general membership meeting and volunteer service celebration.
Jennifer Wood, executive director of Volunteer & Senior Services, said the volunteers are a vital part of the hospital's mission. Also a 2007 Hospital Heroes Award winner, Wood knows what it takes to serve as a volunteer.
"They provide compassionate care to our patients," said Wood. "They extend our staff's hands and hearts. They are definitely partners."
The volunteers serve in four main areas of the hospital, assisting with clerical work, patient and family care, and fundraising. According to information provided by the auxiliary, 1,643 men, women and teenagers donated more than 225,552 hours, valued at nearly $4 million, during the hospital's fiscal year from Oct. 1, 2010, to Sept. 30, 2011. This year's volunteers also received the national President's Volunteer Service Award, acknowledging years of volunteer service.
Wood said she is especially proud of the young people who volunteer and earn community service credits.
"They're also putting their foot in the water about whether they're going to go into the field of medicine," Wood said. "We try to place them where they can work with other people in a community setting. It's also good for them to be learning to work with a kind of multi-generational group. When you're 15 years old working beside a 75-year-old, you learn a lot."
Over 35 years, MRMC volunteers have logged more than 4 million hours. Jackie Mullen, president of the auxiliary, praised the volunteers as "motivated people and very dedicated. You can count on them all the time," she said.
During Saturday's celebration, special recognition was given to volunteer Dorris Odell, who recently celebrated her 100th birthday and who has donated more than 3,000 hours.
Also, MRMC inducted 14 volunteers as lifetime members to the wall of honor. The award goes to volunteers who have reached 5,000 hours of service, said Wood.
The medical center is planning to expand its auxiliary services through a renovation of the conference center, to be completed by December. The expansion will add 1,000 square feet to seat 200 people in the assembly building and an additional 30 seats in a board room equipped with a teleconferencing system.
"The center is very important for us to extend into the community," said Wood. "We're making sure the people have a gathering place in which to come."
More volunteers are needed, and there is a staff of volunteers who come in and train the new people, said Wood.
For more information about the volunteer auxiliary, email Jennifer Wood or call 671-2153.

Beautiful situated restaurant in the harbor of Woerden. When the weather is good, great outdoor eating.
Food and drink are good, well balanced and reasonable priced. With a regular changing menu a restaurant that you can return too frequently.
This is a pleasant and rekaxed place. The food is well done, the wines are nice. Not unimportant, it is reasonably priced. We had a fun evening, the waiter being very helpful. The chef does not overcomplicate things. Would go again.
Last Friday I made a dinner reservation at the Dukdalf based on good reviews. Service is good, location is very nice with a view on the water in the center of Woerden.
Food is excellent and beautifully decorated on the plate.
After a day of meetings this restaurant was chosen to finish the day. As we wanted to enjoy the last Summer sun our request to have a drink first at the terrace was no problem. The terrace was quickly prepared.
Food was certainly a nice experience. Not directly big discoveries but dishes were nicely presented and the food tasted delicious....
Visiting my friend in Rosem, after a day spent in Breda we stopped at this restaurant for dinner..

No More R Rated Movies For Marvel
by Tony 'G-Man' Guerrero on
Good idea?
From a business standpoint it makes sense. You can't really have Punisher bedsheets or party decorations. Yet, someone as brutal as Wolverine can and will be plastered all over assorted merchandise. I'm sure some people will be upset by this but they're not saying they will only make G rated kiddie movies. Superheroes do appeal to younger viewers and it would just be ignorant to try to shut out those potential viewers.
We also have to consider that the more money they generate on the glut of merchandise gives them more reasons to give us more movies. Look at Iron Man. He was a weapons supplier. He drank alcohol. He...enjoyed the ladies. But because they could sell action figures and sneakers with Iron Man on them, it's a no-brainer to finance the sequel.
So maybe we won't get the violent Moon Knight feature (not that one was being planned) but you have to look at who the audience is. Even Watchmen appears to be suffereing due to it's 'adult nature' and rating. What are your thoughts?

In a method of manufacturing trim panels which are made of several trim components or trim materials, such as door trim panels of automobiles, the trim panel is essentially finished in a single work operation in one work station. A vinyl cover film (12) is formed, trim inserts (10, 11) are laminated onto the cover film with the aid of a nesting die (8a, 8b), soft touch inserts (26) are laminated underneath the cover film and the so produced laminate is further laminated onto a rigid substrate (2 or 2'). The substrate may be a prefabricated substrate (2), or may be a rigid foam substrate (2') back-foamed onto the formed vinyl film (12). An apparatus for carrying out the method is essentially a forming station with an upper form or mold (1) and a lower form or mold (15). The lower mold (15) includes nest dies (8a, 8b) for securely holding and then pressure laminating the trim inserts (10, 11), whereby a high placement precision of the inserts (10, 11) is achieved. The present method and apparatus are simpler, faster, and less labor-intensive and achieve better results than prior methods and apparatus in the art.
1. A method for manufacturing a trim panel in a mold having a first mold section (15) and a second mold section (1), said trim panel including at least one trim insert as part of the finished trim panel, comprising the following steps;
(a) positioning a cover skin layer (12) between said first mold section (15) and said second mold section (1), said cover skin layer (12) being made of a material suitable for forming said trim panel into a three-dimensional shape in said mold, said cover skin layer having a front surface and a rear surface, said first mold section (15) facing said front surface and said second mold section (1) facing said rear surface of said cover skin layer (12),
(b) forming at least one nesting cavity (8c, 8d) in one of said mold sections by moving a nesting die (8a, 8b) in said nesting cavity relative to said one mold section so that a surface of said nesting die is withdrawn relative to a mold surface of said one mold section to form said nesting cavity.
(c) locating said at least one trim insert (10, 11) into said nesting cavity which positively holds said trim insert (10, 11) against lateral displacement in said nesting cavity,
(d) contacting said at least one trim insert with said cover skin layer by closing said first and second mold sections into a closed mold position, and
(e) moving said nesting die independently of said one mold section (15) toward the other mold section (1) for pressing said trim insert against said cover skin layer.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising securing a substrate to said rear surface of said cover skin layer.
3. The method of claim 2, further comprising prefabricating said substrate as a rigid substrate, inserting said prefabricated rigid substrate (2) into said second mold section (1) prior to closing said mold, and then laminating said rigid substrate to said rear surface of said cover skin layer.
4. The method of claim 2, wherein said securing of said substrate is performed by back-foaming a curable foam onto said rear surface of said cover skin layer, and curing said curable foams thereby bonding said rear surface of said cover skin layer to said substrate.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising applying an adhesive between said trim insert and said front surface of said cover skin layer.
6. The method of claim 5, comprising selecting said adhesive as a heat sensitive adhesive, and applying sufficient heat for activating said heat sensitive adhesive to bond said trim insert to said cover skin layer.
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing trim parts or panels, for example for an automobile interior. The present method is especially suitable for manufacturing trim panels made of several trim components which may have different textures, patterns, or colors, or which may be made of different materials. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the present method.
It is known in the art to manufacture trim panels, for example automobile door trim panels, of several different trim components or different trim materials which are to be applied to different areas of the trim panel. For example, a door panel typically is made of a relatively rigid substrate which is mostly covered by a vinyl film, but may also include areas covered by carpet or by textile. In order to manufacture such a trim panel in the past, a separate process step was carried out successively for each trim component or material, usually in separate work stations and often with manual work piece transfer between, and placement, in the various stations.
In a typical known method, first, carpet or textile pieces are glued in place on a preformed rigid substrate in areas which are to have a carpet or textile facing. Then a vinyl film is applied to the entire trim panel and glued to the substrate. In order to expose the carpet or textile areas, a heated welding stamp and cutting punch welds and punches the perimeter of the relevant areas, thereby weld-sealing and scoring cut-out edges in the vinyl film. The extraneous vinyl areas are then removed by tearing along the pre-scored perimeters. Rupturing of the weld seam and tearing of the remaining vinyl often occur during the tearing operation. Furthermore, these successive operations are labor intensive and relatively slow and hence all steps accumulate time.
In order to avoid some of the above mentioned problems, particularly the tearing problem, it has also become known to apply inserts of carpet or textile onto the trim panel after a continuous vinyl film covering has been applied. A trim insert, which may be a carpet piece, or a substrate carrying a foam core and a textile covering, is prefabricated in a separate operation. A vinyl film is applied, for example glued or otherwise bonded, to the door panel substrate. Then the preformed inserts are manually applied in the appropriate locations on top of the vinyl covering by gluing, screwing, or plastic stud riveting. These operations are also quite labor intensive, and the limited precision and repeatability of the manual steps may lead to misalignment of the trim components. Furthermore, the trim inserts often protrude above the vinyl covered surface, and do not provide a continuous flush surface. As mentioned above, the successive separate operations also limit the overall speed of production of the finished trim panels.
In order to avoid several work steps involved with prefabricating a substrate, it has also become known to form a vinyl film without a substrate, and then back-foam a foaming material onto the formed vinyl film in order to form a rigid foam substrate. Then surface trim inserts may be applied to the trim panel as described above.
In view of the foregoing it is the aim of the invention to achieve the following objects singly or in combination:
to improve on the above described methods of manufacturing multi-component trim panels, so as to provide a method which is simpler, faster, and hence less costly;
to apply and simultaneously form and laminate all trim components or separate materials to form an essentially finished trim panel in a single work operation;
to achieve a greater precision and repeatability of placement of trim components, and to provide a continuous flush surface of all trim components, if desired, in such a method;
to apply trim inserts onto the outside of a vinyl film cover layer and foam "soft-touch" inserts underneath the vinyl film cover layer, especially in the same forming work station;
to allow a great variability and exchangeability of trim materials and components and also in the contour and three-dimensional configuration of the trim panels;
to either provide a prefabricated rigid substrate onto which the trim materials are formed and laminated, or back-foam a rigid foam substrate into a formed or molded vinyl film;
to compress the edge rim of the vinyl film or other trim materials and to provide appropriate corner relief cutouts during the forming operation in order to allow simpler subsequent edge-folding; and
to provide an apparatus for efficiently performing the present method.
The above objects have been achieved in a method of manufacturing interior trim panels made of several trim components, generally as described above, but more particularly according to the present invention in which the facing materials of a trim panel, e.g. a cover skin layer such as a vinyl film, and facing inserts of textile or carpet, are all applied simultaneously in a single operation in a single work station.
According to one embodiment of the invention, a preformed rigid substrate of plastic, wood, pressed fibers, steel, or rigid foam, etc. is held in a first form or mold of a forming station. Prefabricated insert components are securely placed in retracted "nest" dies of a second form or mold which has a shape essentially corresponding to the shape of the substrate.
A cover skin layer such as a heated vinyl film is carried by a drop-frame between the substrate and the second form. Adhesive is applied between the substrate and the film, and between the inserts and the film. The adhesive is preferably a heat sensitive adhesive which is activated by the heated vinyl film. The adhesive may be provided in the form of an adhesive film. The drop-frame is moved toward the second form and a vacuum may be applied to preform the film into the second form or mold. The two forms or molds are clamped together, whereby the film is formed to the shape of and laminated to the substrate. The nest dies are extended to laminate the inserts onto the formed vinyl, in recessed areas of the vinyl so as to achieve a flush finished trim surface. While the form is closed during the adhesive curing time, a perimeter crimping rim and cutting knife are driven against counter tools to appropriately trim the panel edges and provide a compressed vinyl rim for easier subsequent edge-folding. Simultaneously, plastic welders or crimpers weld or crimp the ends of plastic rivet studs which may be provided on the inserts to extend through corresponding holes in the substrate, in order to securely attach the inserts to the substrate.
In addition to the facing inserts, such as carpet or textile inserts, which are placed in nest dies of the second form so as to be laminated to the outside of the vinyl film, "soft-touch" foam inserts may be fixed, e.g. glued, at appropriate locations on the substrate so as to be laminated underneath the vinyl film of the finished trim panel.
In another embodiment of the invention, a preformed substrate is not provided. Instead, two essentially mating forms or molds are used. The vinyl film is formed and the facing inserts and soft-touch inserts are laminated onto respective opposite sides of the vinyl film between the closed forms in one operation as described above. Additionally, so-called "doghouses", which will later receive clips for attaching the trim panel to the automobile body, may be placed on the backside of the vinyl film along with the soft-touch inserts. After the forming/laminating operation as described above is completed, a rigid foam substrate is back-foamed into the formed vinyl film. This may be carried out in the same work station by exchanging the first form or mold with a foaming form and either by "open-pouring" the foam material before closing the foaming form or by injecting the foam material into the closed form or mold through inlet ports or sprues and runners. Alternatively, the back-foaming may be carried out in an adjacent foaming station by shuttling the formed vinyl film in its form from the forming station to the foaming station.
In either embodiment, the finished trim panel is assembled or formed in essentially one operation, or an uninterrupted sequence of immediately subsequent steps performed in one or two neighboring stations. The facing inserts and soft-touch inserts are applied and attached or laminated with the vinyl film in one operation in the forming station. In the case of forming a rigid foam substrate by subsequent back-foaming into the formed vinyl film, the film acts as a foaming mold, thereby eliminating several steps involved with preforming a rigid substrate prior to the trim laminating operation. The facing inserts are securely held in fixed locations in nest dies provided in the form or mold, so that they cannot inadvertently slip or misalign before being laminated in place. The inserts may be manually placed into the nest dies. Hence, inserts of different colors or patterns or materials may be successively laminated in place by the same forming/laminating apparatus without requiring any retooling or stopping of a machine cycle.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood, it will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side view in partial section of an apparatus for manufacturing an automobile door trim panel according to the method of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to that of FIG. 1, but with a vinyl cover film and trim inserts in place;
FIG. 3 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2, but after the top and bottom forms have closed to form or mold, laminate, and stamp cut the trim panel;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2, but of an alternative embodiment not initially providing a panel substrate;
FIG. 5 is a view of the arrangement of FIG. 4, but after the top and bottom forms have closed to form the vinyl film and laminate the trim inserts;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of a foaming form as an integral component of the top form, with the foaming form in place for back-foaming a substrate onto the vinyl film;
FIG. 7 is a sectional view of a finished door trim panel produced according to the invention, after the vinyl edge rim has been edge-folded; and
FIG. 8 is a front area view of the trim panel of FIG. 7.
As shown in FIG. 1, the preferred embodiment of the apparatus for carrying out the method of the invention comprises essentially a forming station 100 including an upper or top form or mold section 1 and a lower or bottom form or mold section 15. The upper form 1 is, for example, movably held and driven by force applying elements 25 such as piston cylinder devices, while the lower form 15 is stationarily attached to a machine frame or bed. Vacuum chambers 1' and 15' may be provided in the forms or mold sections 1 and 15 respectively, along with appropriate vacuum ducts for applying a vacuum to the molding surfaces. In a first embodiment, a rigid door panel substrate 2 is held on the upper form 1, for example by a vacuum applied through the vacuum chamber 1'. The substrate 2 has been preformed of plastic, wood, pressed fibrous material, steel, or rigid foam, in a separate conventional operation.
Around its perimeter, the upper form 1 carries force applying elements 4 such as piston cylinder devices or preferably so-called linear pneumatic drives manufactured by Stanztechnik GmbH R+S of Frankfurt, West Germany. The force applying elements 4 carry and drive stamping elements 4' also arranged continuously or at appropriate locations around the form perimeter. A stamping element 4' includes a cutting knife 3, a heater 5, and a crimping edge or surface 16. Around its perimeter, the lower form 15 includes a stamp cutting counter surface 7 and a crimping counter surface 17, which respectively counter the cutting knife 3 and the crimping surface 16 during the stamping operation as described below. The upper form 1 may further carry a stud welder or riveting unit 13, which will rivet plastic studs of a trim insert which protrude through holes 14' in the substrate 2.
The lower form has recesses or cut-out areas corresponding to the shape and location of trim inserts which are to be affixed to the door panel. These recesses form nesting cavities 8c and 8d. Nesting dies 8a and 8b are arranged in these cut-out areas, or nesting cavities 8c, 8d. The nesting dies 8a and 8b may be provided with vacuum chambers 8a' and 8b' respectively, for applying a vacuum to the die surfaces. Similarly, vacuum chambers 15' may apply vacuum to the surface of the lower form 15 if desired. Force elements 9a and 9b, which may be piston cylinder devices for example secured to the lower mold 15, are arranged to drive the nesting dies 8a and 8b respectively. In their retracted positions as shown, the surfaces of the nesting dies 8a and 8b lie below the surface of the lower mold section 15, so that said nesting cavities 8c and 8d are formed for receiving trim inserts. Because of this nesting feature of the invention, the inserts cannot be improperly positioned, and once they are placed in the nesting cavities, they cannot slip laterally out of place since the surface of the nesting die is initially recessed relative to the surface of the lower mold section 15 as best seen in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4. However in their extended positions as shown in FIG. 3, the nesting dies 8a and 8b form a flush continuous surface with the surface of the lower mold section 15. Due to the independent movability of the nesting dies 8a, 8b by their drive elements 9a and 9b, the nesting cavities 8c, 8d have a movable bottom. Thus, inserts will be laminated in place to form a flush finished trim surface as described below because the inserts cannot escape laterally during the mold closing.
A material feed unit 6 for supplying a cover skin layer, for example a vinyl film, and an adhesive film, is arranged on at least one side of the lower form 15. The material feed unit 6 includes a heater for heating the vinyl film, a film storage roll and film transport rollers, as well as a drop-frame 6' for carrying a film sheet 12 into the forming station 100, and force applying elements for moving the drop-frame laterally and vertically. The specific components of the feed unit 6 as such are conventional and hence will not be explained in detail.
As shown in FIG. 2, a heated cover skin layer, for example a vinyl film 12, has been carried by a drop-frame 6' into the space between the upper form 1 and the lower form 15 in the arrangement described with reference to FIG. 1. A textile trim insert 10 has been placed on the nest die 8a. The textile insert 10 has been prefabricated in a separate operation, and may be a thin textile piece or a three-dimensional plastic substrate covered by foam padding and textile. A carpet insert 11 has been placed on the nest die 8b. The insert 11 is, for example, a pre-cut carpet piece. The manufacture of the inserts 10 and 11 is not directly related to the present invention, and may be carried out in any manner known in the art. The inserts may include plastic rivet studs 14, as shown on the textile insert 10. The studs 14 will protrude through corresponding holes 14' in the substrate 2 when the trim materials are laminated together. Then the ends of the studs 14 may be crimped or riveted by a riveter 13 to securely attach the inserts 10 or 11 to the substrate 2. Furthermore, soft foam "soft-touch" inserts 26 are applied, e.g. glued, to appropriate areas of the rigid substrate 2, in order to be laminated under the cover layer 12 in the following operation.
An adhesive, for example in the form of a heat-sensitive film 22, shown in FIG. 2, is applied between the substrate 2 and the hot vinyl film 12. Adhesive 23a and 23b is also applied between the respective inserts 10, 11 and the vinyl film 12. This adhesive is also preferably a heat sensitive adhesive, and may be applied as an adhesive film, or by brushing, spraying, or rolling a liquid adhesive as is commonly known.
Once the trim components are in place as described, the dropframe 6' is lowered as shown by arrow 18. A vacuum may be applied to the vacuum chambers 15' in order to partially preform the vinyl film to the shape of the lower form 15. Vacuum applied to the vacuum chambers 8a' and 8b' assists in holding the inserts 10 and 11 in place, but additionally, they remain securely "nested" in the nesting dies 8a and 8b. Then the upper form 1 carrying the substrate 2 is lowered by the piston cylinder devices 25, as shown by the arrow 19. It should be noted that the upper form 1 may move vertically downwardly or may tilt downwardly about a hinge connection with the lower form or mold 15.
After the form closes, i.e. the substrate 2 is pressed firmly into form-fitting contact with the vinyl film 12 against the lower form or mold 15, the force elements 9a and 9b drive the nest dies 8a and 8b upward as shown by arrows 20a and 20b respectively. Because the substrate 2 is already tightly fitted to the lower form 15, the inserts 10 and 11 cannot slip laterally even when they are pressed out of the "nests" previously formed by the dies 8a and 8b. While the description above indicates that the movements represented by the arrows 18, 19, and 20a, 20b occur in sequence, they may actually occur essentially simultaneously, or in a different sequential order than that described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the forms or molds 1 and 15 are clamped closed and the dies 8a and 8b are pressed upwardly with a sufficient pressure and duration so that the heat sensitive adhesive 22, 23a, 23b is activated by the hot vinyl film 12 and effectively bonds and laminates the several layers together. The form remains clamped closed for a time sufficient to allow the adhesive to cure.
While the form is closed, the force applying elements 4 are activated to drive the stamping elements 4' downwardly as shown by arrow 21, whereby the outer contour of the vinyl film 12 is cut by the knife 3 stamping against the counter surface 7, and a perimeter rim 12' is compressed by the crimping surface 16 pressing against the counter surface 17, whereby the compressed rim 12' will facilitate subsequent edge-folding. Both the cutting and the rim compressing are simplified if the cutting knife 3 and crimping surface 16 are-heated by the heater 5.
The stud riveter 13 is also activated while the form is clamped closed. Plastic rivet studs 14, for example of the insert 10, have pierced through the vinyl film 12 and extended through holes 14' of the substrate 2 during the form closing operation. The rivet stud ends are now crimped or riveted by the riveter 13 to form, for example mushroom shaped, rivet heads 14a. The rivet heads 14a in addition to the adhesive 23a, provide a very secure attachment of the insert 10 to the substrate 2.
After the appropriate curing time for the adhesive 22, 23a, 23b has elapsed, the vacuum in the vacuum chambers 1' and then 15' as well as 8a' and 8b' is interrupted, the upper form 1 is lifted, and the door trim panel may be removed from the lower form 15. The forming station is now ready for another forming cycle. In this manner, the vinyl film 12 is formed and laminated to the substrate 2, and the inserts 10 and 11 as well as 26 are attached or laminated in place in one work operation. Furthermore, a compressed or crimped vinyl rim 12' has been formed, and includes appropriate corner relief cut-outs to facilitate the subsequent edge-folding operation.
In another embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper form or mold 1 is directly a molding form, that is to say, no substrate 2 is provided as described above. The lower form 15 and its auxiliary components remain as described above, and a drop-frame 6' carries a heated sheet of vinyl film 12 between the upper form 1 and the lower form 15. Trim inserts 10 and 11 are placed in retracted nest dies 8a and 8b respectively, and adhesive 23a and 23b is applied between the respective insert 10, 11 and the vinyl film 12. The inserts 10 or 11 may include rivet studs 14 with preformed mushroom heads 14a which fit into corresponding holes or recesses 14' of the upper form 1. The mushroom rivet heads 14a must not puncture the vinyl film 12, but rather the film 12 is to be molded around the rivet heads 14a. The vinyl film 12 is lowered toward the bottom form 15 as shown by arrow 18, the upper form closes downwardly as indicated by arrow 19, and the nest dies 8a and 8b extend upwardly as indicated by the arrows 20a, 20b. Vacuum may be applied to chambers 1', 15', 8a', and 8b'.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the form is closed, the vinyl film 12 is formed or molded, and inserts 10 and 11 are laminated onto it, much as described above for FIG. 3. The film 12 is formed around the rivet heads 14a. Then the perimeter contour of the film 12 is stamp cut, and a crimped rim 12' is formed in an analogous manner as described above. After the adhesive cures sufficiently, vacuum is interrupted in the vacuum chamber 1' and the upper form 1 is opened, while vacuum is maintained in the chambers 15', 8a', and 8b' to maintain the position and form of the formed vinyl film 12.
As shown in FIG. 6, the upper form 1 may be an integral component of a foaming form or mold 28, so that the present forming station is also a foaming station, whereby the trim panel need not be transported to a separate foaming station. The upper form 1 rotates about a horizontal axis 29 to position the foaming form 28 over the formed vinyl 12 held in the lower form 15. A "soft-touch" soft foam insert 26 has been inserted and glued in place at an appropriate location on the backside of the formed vinyl film 12. So-called "doghouses" 30 for clipping the finished trim panel to the automobile body are inserted to be carried by the foaming form 28. Thereupon, the foaming form 28 is driven downwardly to close the lower form 15 shown in its closed position in FIG. 6. The foaming form 28 includes appropriate channels 31 for forming strengthening ribs and the like. Foam material, which is, for example glass fiber filled, may be poured onto the formed vinyl film 12 while the foaming form 28 is still open, or may be injected into the closed form through sprues 32. While the form is clamped closed, the foam material cures to form a rigid foam backing or substrate 2' for the vinyl film 12. The rigid foam 2' tightly bonds to the film 12, and engagingly surrounds the rivet heads 14a and the doghouses 30.
After the foam has cured, the foaming form 28 is opened, vacuum is discontinued at the chambers of the lower form 15, and the essentially finished trim panel may be removed and subsequently edge-folded in a final step. In this manner, similarly as in the embodiment described above, a vinyl film 12 is formed, trim inserts 10, 11 are laminated onto it, soft-touch inserts 26 are laminated underneath it, and it is laminated onto a rigid substrate 2', all in essentially one work operation and in one work station. This second embodiment eliminates several steps associated with prefabricating a rigid substrate 2, because the formed vinyl 12 inherently has the proper mold shape for the subsequent back-foaming process. The necessity of providing a separate adhesive 22 between the film 12 and the substrate 2 is also eliminated.
Alternatively, the back-foaming could take place in a separate foaming station, in which case the formed vinyl 12 with the inserts 10 and 11 laminated onto it, would be shuttled to the foaming station vacuumed to the lower form 15. As a further alternative, the lower form 15 would remain stationary, but a separate foaming form would be moved into place as the upper form 1 is moved away.
A door trim panel 50 as produced according to the first method embodiment of the invention is shown in section in FIG. 7. A door trim panel produced according to the second embodiment is quite similar to that shown. However, for the second embodiment, the rivet heads 14a would not be exposed on the back surface of the substrate 2, but rather would be lodged in the rigid foam substrate 2'. Furthermore, "doghouses" 30 could be provided as described above. As is shown, the trim inserts 10 and 11 form an essentially flush trim surface with the surrounding areas of the vinyl film 12. As provided according to the invention, the perimeter of the vinyl film 12 is a crimped or compressed flange or rim 12' which may be easily edge-folded in a separate operation, which may be performed as is typically known. The finished door trim panel, after the rim 12' has been edge-folded, is shown in a sectional view in FIG. 7 and in a front view in FIG. 8.
Although the invention has been described with reference to specific example embodiments, it will be appreciated, that it is intended to cover all modifications and equivalents within the scope of the appended claims.

How I Recovered My Social Skills after Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia can seriously impair the ability to relate to people, but with effort, a degree of normalcy can be attained. As someone who lives with schizophrenia, this is glaringly obvious to me.

Advice for cats with renal failure
Someone using the name AnimalNetwork emailed me a lot of good advice to use for my cat Rosie and asked me to post it here, as he/she was having trouble doing so. I searched here and couldn't find that user name or a post from them, so here is the message: (I hope it is acceptable for me to do this. )
"I am new to the forum - and don't seem to be able to use it well. I'm hoping this gets to the forum - as others may find it useful too. If it doesn't - could YOU get it there?
Co-Q 10 does appear to help CRF cats. I give 15-30mg a day to my CRF cat - broken up into 2 meals. Be careful on the dosage. Very high doses can cause the leeching of Calcium from bones into the blood - and can cause the Parathyroid Glands to malfunction. Parathyroid Glands regulate the Calcium-Phosphorous balance in the blood. This can become a very serious problem.
If your CRF cat is not eating well, you should hand-feed him.
I have been doing this with my 21-yr-old CRF cat for years - and he has actually became a bit overweight! (He was diagnosed in 2004 with CRF)
You can use a LARGE Baby Medicine Dropper (5ml). Cut of the tip at an angle - and smooth rough, cut edges inside and out (cut an emery board to do this).
This will allow the dropper to pick up even chunky cat food.
And - the addition of Vitamin B12 will also instigate his appetite.
1) You should use the Methylcobalamin form of B12 - which is a MUCH better form to use - and - this will not be digested by stomach acids (as the "regular" Cyanocobalamin B12 will - which makes it useless).
2) You should add B-Complex along with the Meth B12 - as B12 needs to have Folic Acid (a B Vitamin) to work properly). If you are giving your cat sub-cutaneous fluids - he should be getting B-Complex every day anyway - as the fluids will wash out the B Vitamins in his body. Give him only one dose a day (10-25mg/dose) - not spread out.
3) What will help your cat to stop throwing up - and to feel better - is Pepcid AC. This is a very standard treatment. Use the Original Formula - and the REAL thing (NOT a generic - as the "Inert" ingredients in the name brand are better than in Generic brands). Give your cat 1/4 of a tablet once a day - NOT WITH FOOD. 20-30 minutes BEFORE feeding is OK. (You can give it twice a day - about 12 hours apart, if needed). The Vomiting is being caused by Overacidity of the Stomach and Blood because of Metabolic Acidosis - which is caused by the CRF). The Pepcid AC should relieve the Overacidity.
4)If your cat needs Sub-Cutaneous Fluids - He will always need them. Nothing will cause your cat to not need these extra fluids and electrolytes - unless you discover a total CURE for Kidney Failure.
If you need more help with CRF, let me know.
Jackie Page
PS: Try Planetvet.com for the Azodyl"
#4 of the advice given should be #1 on the list.
No other therapy is as effective in improving a CRF cat's quality of life and longevity as subcutaneous fluids. It relieves nausea, stimulates appetite, etc. (Personally I've found pepcid and other remedies useless by comparison with simply feeding a pet's favorite food and administering fluids regularly.) If you have ever experienced mild to moderate dehydration, you will be familiar with the headache, lethargy, and general malaise of this condition. I'm sure other ill effects of renal insufficiency add to the discomfort of dehydration as well.
My two old kitties were on sub-Q fluids in their old age, and it helped them live to the grand ages of 21 and 22 yrs in comfort. Now my 12 year old small dog and 18 year old cat have been receiving fluids for the past year or two and they too are benefitting.
I hope your Rosie will have a long life of contentment and comfort.
Thanks for that, Biwako. I am not sure how to divide the coq10 capsule though, the smallest dosage I could find is 30 mg in a liquid capsule which has to be given all at once when opened.
I've tried the syringe feeding, but he hates it. He loves to lick the gravy off food, but he does not eat much of actual meat. I've tried different canned foods and he does the same with all of them. I've ordered Natural Balance Chicken and Liver Pate, I was told most cats like it a lot. Hopefully, that'll get him interested in eating more. He loves dry food, I know it's not good for him, but he has to eat and would be even thinner if it weren't for the dry. He gets Orijen or Wellness Core.
I am not sure how to divide the coq10 capsule though, the smallest dosage I could find is 30 mg in a liquid capsule which has to be given all at once when opened.
I have the 30 mg capsules in a POWDER form (by NOW), and it is no problem to divide. Remember to give it with food (canned food, chicken broth etc.)-it needs fat to be absorbed. My cat has no problem taking it with chicken or a little bit of olive oil. She gets a third of a capsule each day, at least for now.
I can't remember if I got it in the vitamins section of our grocery store (Hannaford) or at our local health food store. My holistic vet carries it as well, but I had already got it.
My cat also is a 'dry' eater (except for the chicken I make for her). Currently on Orijen (42% protein) --previously Evo, but holistic vet says it might be too high in protein (50%). He also gave her some Chinese herbs--and she does not object to them. She is in early stage of the disease and has not lost her appetite--yet!
As you know, It is important your cat eats--"bad" food is better than no food!
Good luck,
You should also check with your vet before doing any of the above.
Pepcid AC should NOT be taken at the same time as other meds, as it can/will affect the absorption of the other meds.
If you give your cat meds in the AM; give Pepcid in the PM (and vice versa).

I love rubbing my ***** on the wood floor in my black briefs and I love ******* in briefs.
Hey, I got a new floor put in, you can rub on it while I rub on top of you. Interested?
Cause I need someone good at humping ;)
I'll add you To my circle, then you can be my friend I'm sure (still new to the site)
New marble tiles, so shiny and smooth
I really wanna try it on a floor when it's just been mopped
I would love to do that, but I think I'm gonna do it in my birthday suit. Jiiiiizzzzz
I also like to turkey slap the floor with my wet ****, feels sooooo good :)
I like to hump the floor in my thongs too, soo nice
Nothin much, how about u, still like humping floors?
I started rubbing against floors at a young age till i got the feeling. Rubbed off that way in briefs or panties and it always worked.
If we ever get new flooring, you know what I'm going to be doing. ;)
Wow, luv to see you doin that!
Please add mee, you look so cute

Arizona Diamondbacks
Updated Jul 30, 2013 - 10:27 am
ESPN Insider: Arizona Diamondbacks' odds of moving Ian Kennedy are slim
According to MLB Network's Peter Gammons, Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers is shopping Ian Kennedy and outfielder Jason Kubel as Wednesday's trade deadline nears.
But what are the odds a deal for the former actually gets done?
Not high, in the eyes of ESPN analyst Jim Bowden.
In his Insider piece Tuesday, Bowden said the 29-year-old had a 30 percent of changing teams. Still, the former MLB executive offered up a potential landing spot for Kennedy (3-7 with a 5.22 ERA) should he be on the move.
The Diamondbacks have soured on Kennedy, and with a thin starting-pitching market they have made him available. They feel comfortable that top prospect Archie Bradley can give them the same type of production in the near future. Kennedy is pitching like a fifth starter but would still be an upgrade for a team like the Nationals.
Kennedy, who is slated to start for the D-backs in Tampa Tuesday night, has lost three of his last four starts and last recorded a victory on June 1.

pruning winter kill on windmill palm?
robertbirder(z6b/7a DC)April 19, 2014
The severe winter killed many of the leaves on my 10-year-old windmill palm. others are green in the center, brown on the ends. all stems are green.
Should I trim the dead leaves? What about the half-green, half-brown ones? Can the ends be trimmed without damaging the center?
