Looks have always been an issue for me. I am not a physically attractive person. For some reason, it seems like I've always hung with people much more attractive than myself. It's always been a nagging hurt, even though I know it shouldn't be.
I had the interesting experience of being at a spiritual seminar last year where one of the exercises was to "push back" your inner critic. Each of the 50 or so participants had to share a phrase that our judge hits us with on a regular basis. Mine was: You are not good enough. My H's was: You are a mistake.
One of the other women in the class is an absolute gorgeous woman in her early sixties, I would say. She is elegant and going by her clothing and jewelry, wealthy. Her phrase was: You are ugly in all the ways that matter.
It was kind of an eye-opening moment for me.
OTC, I hope you have a lovely birthday. Your posts always touch something important in me. Thank you for being here.
I would also say don't bother trying to get info from OW. Nothing she can say will make sense and it will probably be either lies or self-delusion. OW in my case once tried to talk to me and tell me how hard it was for her to feel "constrained" in being able to talk to my H about OC--she felt all along that they were right together, thought I should have been able to "intuit" something like their adultery was going on, and now thinks that since she's said she won't sleep with him any more, I should agree to their playing happy family with the OC. As I said, delusional. We won't be doing that again!!
Talking to OW just won't compute--their outlook is soooo incredibly selfish and distorted compared to ours, it doesn't make any difference what they say. It just opens the door to more grief...
I have to laugh in a way--OW is so incredibly angry at me--feels that it's all my "fault" she and H aren't together, gives me much more control that I deserve!! H chose not to go along with the fantasy R, to stay with his marriage and family--I couldn't force him to make that decision--only thing I could do was make the decision to stay in the M with him, to allow him to rebuild with me--and for that I'm the wicked witch of the west.
UKgirl, OW in my case is like yours somewhat, educated, intelligent, professional, not a low-life at all, except in her moral code of course--would be so much easier in a way not to have someone who is comparable or competitive--I guess our mantras will truly have to be that we're enough--haven't succeeded in believing that, but I do, now, do a lot of stuff for myself--so ditto numbandscared's post.
Our lives are going along pretty well, sexual slumps occur but it always comes back--mostly related to how bad H is feeling and/or how incredibly busy he is with work-- day to day is fine, even fun--inside I still think of the infidelity every day, at least for some of the time--and I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that inside I will always feel unloved in some way. Before I found out about the LTA, I really felt cared for and special and all that, and not in a fantasy way, just a long-term marriage sort of way. Now that's all changed, and I think that striving to feel that again is just butting my head against a wall--I'd rather look at whatever positive feelings I get from H and our R, and not worry about total healing in my foundation.
Someone on another thread posted about staying in a M for many reasons, liking the lifestyle, companionship, sex, financial stability, ease of being with the family--that all sounds good to me and if I get some feeling that H really does love me in whatever way he can, and is committed to his marriage (as in fidelity especially), that will be enough for this almost 60 year old. Selfish? Maybe, but I prefer realistic.
Hugs to all.
Looks have always been an issue for me.
Did you ever meet someone who didn't fit the textbook of "good looks" and then hear them speak and get to see their mind and heart and all of a sudden, they are transformed into a beauty beyond even what they would recognize?
That's what YOU do when you write and speak....
Here is the short and dirty...
Thank you all for your responses on the OW...I will not contact...you are all right...obviously she is fucked up and who knows why she did it or what she was thinking but I will never understand....lots of great advice that I copied and quoted and it is gone. BUT, thank you again for your response.
BT - as far as "looks". What most people find attractive, even beautiful, is intelligence, kindness, empathy and love. You have an abundance of all of the above. You are a bright light in the darkness. I am sure that the people you hung with that you believed to be more attractive would think how graced and lucky they were to have you with them. I know I do.
UTC - skipped your post earlier as it is a song and songs are a trigger but I LOVE that song. I heard it a couple of years ago before the kids did and thought how amazing it was. Thanks for bringing one song back to the forefront of my mind that doesn't hurt.
UKgirl - burning must have been so cathartic. Lost H suggested the poems next. How about a LTA Tribe reunion at Stonehenge and we light the night on fire! We could drive REAAAALLLy fast to get there.
Bottom line is it worth it after your H was willing to betray you for years and with more than one woman? Or will I just be settling for the second half of my life?
One of the reasons I choose journalism as a first career was that for the most part people had to judge me on my words without knowing what I looked like. It's also one of the reasons I feel so comfortable on the internet.
Not that I'm horrible looking, I'm not. Just plain, as they would say in a Victorian novel. It's always bothered me because so many people simply dismiss you if you are not attractive. Literally, they just pretend you are not there. You never get the chance to show them who you are because they don't care to know. They have already written you off.
My H and I are what LadyV calls "an interfacial couple." He is quite handsome, well-built and overall the kind of man women want to talk to. Oddly, that doesn't bother me anymore. It used to, but I now think I am just very comfortable with who I am.
Shirley, I have never had the opportunity to talk to the OW. If I had had any type of relationship with her at all I think I would have found it impossible not to talk to her. I probably would have regretted it later, as our wiser tribe members say, but I think I would have done it anyway.
What most people find attractive, even beautiful, is intelligence, kindness, empathy and love.
Whole people, healthy people, people with an ounce of morality and ethics believe this.
BT, I always pictured you as strong, (and you're saying sturdy), charismatic, with flashing intelligent eyes and such a quick wit. You're someone I'd love to sit and talk philosophy and the future of mankind with. (I know ending with a prep)
H and I too are one of those couples. He is magnetic. I am and always have been in his shadow.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
He is magnetic. I am and always have been in his shadow.
He'd never be your friend because he doesn't understand that word, but you'd love him.
My...my...my! I do declare...there is some philosophying goin' on in here! (Said with a severe suthun' twang.)
I am enough I've always been enough I'll always be enough.
For us to survive an LTA, we must heal ourselves and believe that we are beautiful, strong, worthy and enough to be in a loving, respectful, healthy faithful and satisfying relationship. Our "job" is not to heal our WS, no matter what their affliction is.We can support them but we cant be their mule. We can listen to them but we cant cure them.
Our "job" is not to heal our WS, no matter what their affliction is.We can support them but we cant be their mule. We can listen to them but we cant cure them.
we owe that "better" version of self to our children, as well as ourselves.
** Not allowing "anyone's" past or present to deplete or define you.**
I have always told my H and our MC that if I leave, it will not be to find someone else. If I leave, it is because I am ready to be on my own.
When we choose our friends, we don't go out and look for people that are beautiful in looks... we choose people that share common likes, or those that get us, or touch our hearts in some way. Some LTA tribe unite... we are all beautiful in our own way. Beautiful, unique, strong, worthy and more than enough!!!
Some LTA tribe unite... we are all beautiful in our own way. Beautiful, unique, strong, worthy and more than enough!!!
It is so refreshing and inspiring to read these kinds of comments. Look at everyone! It's so empowering!!! AWESOME! I LOVE IT!!! Thank you! We SO need more of this stuff!
You are ugly in all the ways that matter.
So very, very true. Ask any OW.
Not that I'm horrible looking, I'm not. Just plain, as they would say in a Victorian novel.
BT, you are such a kind, compassionate, loving, insightful and inspiring friend. You couldn't be "plain" if you tried.
So my point in all of this is that no matter how we look on the outside, it takes just the smallest bit of time to get beyond the initial impression and within a short period of time we are looking and listening to the whole person and this is what determines our desire to be their friend, confident, lover, etc.
Yup! Looks only get a person so far.
On the flip side, I know you all know someone who is gorgeous, and you don't want a thing to do with them because of who they are beyond the looks. The "ugly" seeps out.
I am thinking about calling the OW of the last LTA (7 years) to ask her why? Why did she spend 7 years fucking a married man while his loving wife was having his youngest two children?
Shirley, as numb said: Why.....Because she could. I couldn't have said it any better than that. Why does anyone do anything?
She needed the ego stroke that comes when she is delusional enough to think a man will sacrifice everything to be with her. Only he doesn't leave, and she's back to nothing. Having nothing and being nothing.
We will never understand this, Shirl. We shouldn't even try. It only frustrates us more and keeps our minds focused on something (the "Nothing") that doesn't matter. We are not of this "kind". We will never "get it", no matter what they say or how they answer our questions. And besides...it just doesn't matter. What matters is you. How are you going to get yourself better?
Keep up the inspirations, ladies! These posts were awesome!

If you think the grass is greener on the other side, it's because it's fertilized with bullshit.

if you met him with no background on him, he'd have you eating out of his hand in 15 minutes. He'd never be your friend because he doesn't understand that word, but you'd love him.
OMG- You could be talking about my WH. He's definitely not classically handsome, but he's cute and has the devil's own twinkle in his eyes and grin. He's very, very charismatic and charms everyone. Ugh....
BT- you are nothing but beautiful in my eyes, and I've never seen you. You are the REAL thing, hun. You are REAL. That's something these OW or OM will never be.

Word, Run. And we can't fathom this because we would never, ever accept it. We aren't that low. I think that is one of the hardest issues to comprehend because we can't think like the OW.
One professor in particular was truly awesome. I remember sitting in his class feeling totally mesmorized by his lectures. Often I realized that I was staring at him in total awe almost in a trance-like state when I would listen to him. I would catch myself and be embarrassed and hope he didn't see me. And I hated moving onto my next class. His looks, well, average - tall, lanky, bordering on geeky - did I care - No Way! It was an honor to participate in his class. If I had met him and we were both single you can bet I would have been after his ass
Change this to a teacher I worked with 4 years ago when I was pregnant with my last dd, and wow! He had an intelligent mind that I could completely relate to and it was, quite frankly, attractive to me, even though he was definitely not conventionally attractive to others. Hmmmm.....a potential slippery slope.......and yet I avoided it while my WH dived into his at the same time.
We all need to realize just how amazing and beautiful and wonderful we all are just for remaining upright in the face of a LTA!!!!
YAY!! Dancing round the campfire!! Anyone else got stuff to burn?
Shirley, dear woman. Dont. Please. What good did it do me? But I met her to get her out of our lives. She wasnt going to go otherwise.
Read the posts and caught up. Good morning to you all and Im doing a Road Runner now, off out for the day. Beep, beep!!
Oh and FWH got a text from OW this morning. Looks like her H has told her about the letter that I sent LAST DECEMBER!!! Shes not happy. Do I feel sorry for her? NO! In fact Im laughing. Ha,ha,ha!
I am enough I've always been enough I'll always be enough. And I'm beautiful in every way.
Wow, yesterday was an eventful day here, huh? Guess the steam room has been helping us get some of the toxins out.
LH, has H had an adverse reaction to what you've written?
Weepy.....but I find myself wanting to reach out and take your hand and lead you gently and lovingly in another direction. Leave him to his mess Weepy please try and look at yourself and realise what a worthy individual you are and that what he did was not about what he did or didn't have at home, it was about him and still is
Well said Mum.Thats how I am feeling about you too Weepy. I want to give you a big hug and tell you that you are beautiful, strong, worthy and enough. I know you only through cyberspace, and I can see that.
*** HEfty
I need to keep working on me and make me the best I can for everyone: me, DD, and my wife. I just hope it matters to her. I have been trying
Hope, your dday was 4 years ago.IMHO, if you are still asking those questions, then something didnt go accomplished in R since. Have you and H being actively engaged in R since? By that I mean, all the work that we talk about here, the IC for both, MC, reconnecting on new planes, developing a better appreciation of each other, etc. Or has it been onesided?
Maybe that lack of reconnection can be addressed now. If you are feeling it, I bet he is too.Have you spoken about this?
*** BT, I hope you know how much we all honour and admire you (and some of us are so in awe we hestitate to even address you directly ). You will always be Susan Sarandon to me.
Have a good day everyone!
I've been awake for a couple of hours. Awoke for no reason but sleep evades me. My 'holiday' is almost half over. I am sad to say that I've brought all my LTA baggage with me this trip (left most of it home last time). I sneak time to read and erase the history so my family won't know.
Thanks LTA tribe for being here in moments of darkness and of light.
Even my IC says "so what, it was just a fuck".
I just can't deal with this on top of the LTA. If some 30 year old hooker walked into our bedroom he'd spring a boner so fast it would make your head spin. If I gave him back the porn he'd be at it in record time.
I don't know if I can do this any more. And I"m just now grieving possibly the end of my marriage.
For 2 years I held out hope, listened to everyone tell me how he was trying in little ways. Well, one card, hand holding on the couch and kisses on the forehead just aren't enough.
I don't have enough time left to wait for him to find out he may never recover from this compulsion, addiction, his "issues" because he is so good at hiding what he feels, thinks even from himself.
SO Happy Birthday Mr. Weepy, I done want you out of my life, but I need you to be.
You are right. Unless we have walked in them ourselves, noone can imagine what its like for you.
I have been rooting for you (not your M or your H)from the time I first joined here.Whether you know it or not, you helped me out in General and then later in R, and now here.
I have seen you get your hopes up, then dashed, then scrape yourself off the floor and start again.
My heart has ached when I read what your H said or didnt say, did or didnt do, not for any other reason, but I saw how hard you were trying to figure out why, what didnt you do right, what can you improve next time.And I would say, "Oh no Mr Weepy". My heart smiled when you both had your happy moments, no matter how quirky, and you positively radiated through the screen, and I would go, "Yes Mr Weepy!Thank you for making Weepy happy for that time."
I have seen you so soul broken, that you even contemplated doing something that went against your own code (the reunion). Yet, you held on and came back to the battle ground.
If you feel that you have had enough, that you dont have an atom left to do this anymore, I will stand with you Weepy. You earned your stripes eons ago.
And if you change your mind, I will still stand by you.

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
From the first line, Collins ensnares her readers, compelling them to continue flipping pages. The book is not a typical suspense nor is it a cliché Christian novel. There are no Scripture references, but biblical themes are present throughout the book. One such theme can be reflected in Psalm 46:1, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble(NKJV). There is one aspect of the book that may be mildly offensive to some Christians. One of the characters claims that God turned her life away from drugs and gave her a fresh start. Yet, during the course of the novel this same unmarried character finds out that she is six weeks pregnant. However, this is somewhat redeemed by the fact that she decides to keep the child and not have an abortion.
Overall, Dark Pursuit is an enthralling story. Because it is not an in-your-face Christian story, it can appeal to both non-Christians as well as Christians. The theme of God always being there to help is a strong message, one that is not overpowered by Scripture. I recommend this book to young adult and adults, especially those who might need a little push toward God. -- Marissa Willems, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

Mothers are rare sights on the coach's bench for youth sports at every level. Co-ed, boys, girls; it doesn't much matter. Overall estimates for women coaches of youth sports range from 4 percent all the way up to nearly 10 percent, with the numbers being a little lower for boys' teams and a little higher (up to 11 percent!) for girls'. Whatever your sport: hockey, soccer, baseball, softball — it's Dad, not Mom, who's in the dugout, on the sidelines or behind the bench.
Why? Nearly 40 years after Title IX, women's opportunities to play sports have increased (although arguably not enough). Many mothers are the right age to have benefited from the changes Title IX brought. And, more important, many of us play now. We're active, strong, smart, athletic women. So why are we leaving the coaching to the guys? And why, dads, are you letting us?
It's true that coaching a sports team is yet another commitment in an overcommitted world. When Nicole Lavoi and Erin Becker of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sports asked women who were already coaching how to get more moms out there, many pointed to the logistical struggles. It can be tough for a mother who's working or has more than one kid to coach after school. In a family where Mom is the after-school go-to, Dad may take off work to coach, but how often will he take off from work to let his wife get out there? Women say they worry about their ability to meet their commitment if the unexpected comes up.
But there's more to the lack of women on the bench than scheduling issues. Even women who had participated in sports said they were worried that they didn't know how to coach — a problem that, based on my personal experience, most men just don't have. Women who are already coaching suggested that more sports organizations actually ask women to coach, instead of waiting for them to volunteer, offer coaching clinics (with other women, if possible), and let female athletes know that parents have confidence in their abilities.

Rep. Delaney plans to push for minimum wage boost
Monday - 8/12/2013, 11:40am  ET
GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) -- Rep. John Delaney is planning to push for a minimum wage increase in Maryland.
Delaney said Monday raising the minimum wage is one of the most direct ways of helping working families succeed while also improving Maryland's economy.
The congressman says 19 states have a higher minimum wage than Maryland, and many of them have a lower cost of living.
Maryland's current minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. An effort to raise the state's minimum wage to $10 an hour by 2015 failed to pass a Senate committee in this year's legislative session.
Supporters said low-wage workers are in desperate need of a raise and that higher wages would increase consumer spending. But opponents said it would drive up employer costs to create higher prices for consumers and possible layoffs.

How to switch from Lubuntu to Xubuntu
Hi Chester thanks for the hint and I think that could solve it. However, you need to be more specific/precise. Lubuntu 13.10 does not seem to have "system settings". Main Menu -> Preferences -> Desktop Session Settings is the closest I get but this contains no option to set Xubuntu as default. Think I'll just reinstall Xubuntu over the top of Lubuntu and be done with it. |

How to update Kingsoft Office?
@carnendil I did 'try' removing it, but not very hard: couldn't find the package in synaptic (searched for "kingsoft" and "office"). Thanks for letting us know the package name: that allows it to be removed via synaptic (search for "wps") or via apt-get remove as you suggested. After that has been performed your top solution works perfectly. The question should definitely be re-opened IMO: many will have installed the old version and now want the new version installed. |

Where can I find reliable review of Ubuntu's performance on a laptop (Lenovo z580)
Thanks for sharing your experience boteeka: that's what makes Ubuntu a pleasure to use, a great user community! For the record, since posting my question I've shifted my preference to the sturdy T530/W530 due to durability. ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201205-11132 It says it's only certified with a pre-installed Ubuntu system, but they don't offer that even though it would be cheaper!

Hang tight!
Recipe by CSSTITCHES
"This is an easy recipe with good oregano flavor."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
This was sooooo good, I was very proud of being able to cook it until it was JUST done. I did change this up a bit though I added some vegetable oil to the sauce along with about 3 tbs of water because it didnt seem like enough ( I shortened the recipe to only accomodate 3 breasts). I also rubbed salt and pepper on the chicken first, and added crushed garlic to the sauce. The last few minutes I used the broiler to give it a slightly crispy top and I sprinkled some mozzerella cheese on top. VERY GOOD! Next time I think this would be good on top of pasta with sauce and maybe a little basil sprinkled on top would be good too. VERY GOOD, Highly reccomend recipe with my variations. Probably would have been a tad bland without garlic or cheese.
YUCK! My husband and I could BARELY finish this. Flavor is terrible. I won't make this again.
273 Ratings
INCREDIBLE! I made a couple of modifications as per other reviews. I added 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp chicken bouillion granules, and 1 tsp basil. I marinated the chicken in the mixture for 4 hours before baking. Absolutely delicious, very flavourful!
I cut this recipe in half and used a 9x( pan - but otherwise followed it to the letter. I served it with rice and a onion/bell pepper mix and it was awesome. Definitely keep the sauce to put on the rice. Delish!! And easy, too. I made the sauce and poured it on the chicken and put the whole thing in the fridge for a few hours so that all I had to do was pop it in the oven half hour before dinner.
My kids really like this recipe- very easy to make.
This was very tasty! I marinated it for about 2 hours, then cooked it in the marinade. Toward the end of cooking I topped each breast with a mix of parm/mozz cheeses then broiled it until golden brown. Everyone loved it.
I always thought of myself as an oregano fan...until this dish. I didn't see anything special about it. It was rather bland...even served over rice with a touch more soy sauce. Boyfriend and daughter gave this one thumbs up but there are sooo many other great chicken dishes out there that I think I'll just pass this one over. Thanks anyways.
Good recipe. The chicken didn't require the whole 30 minutes to bake, so next time I'll only cook it for 20-25 minutes. I tossed bow tie pasta in the marinade after the chicken was finished & it turned out great! Thanks!!

Retail Gasoline Prices up Nickel Across Texas
Posted: 7:23 PM Jan 10, 2013
Reporter: Associated Press
Drivers across Texas have been paying more for gasoline this week with retail prices up an average nickel per gallon.
Triple-A Texas on Thursday reported the statewide average price at the pump has reached $3.18 per gallon. Gasoline prices also rose nationally this week, adding 2 cents to reach $3.31 per gallon.
The association survey found Dallas has the most expensive gasoline in Texas at $3.22 per gallon. The cheapest gasoline statewide is in El Paso at $2.99 per gallon.
AAA Texas predicts gasoline prices will rise through April or early May but at a slower pace than last year. Experts say it's typical for prices to go up during winter months due to season demand and in anticipation of the switchover to more expensive summer-blend gasoline.

Background -Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S., the Department of Transportation was asked to identify areas within the transportation system that were vulnerable to terrorist attack. One major area of concern identified was the transportation of hazardous materials.
In investigating ways to improve the security of hazardous materials transportation, FMCSA identified the need to have security at each phase of the shipment - pick up, delivery, and receipt - and for each element of the shipment - driver, vehicle, and cargo. For each of these elements solutions may come from regulations, outreach, operational changes and deployment of technology.
Security Risks in the Motor Carrier Industry - The largest security risk within the motor carrier industry is the transportation of hazardous materials. There are over 800,000 shipments of hazardous materials (HM) each day in the U.S. The risks associated with transporting HM range from many shipments of materials that pose a moderate risk to a limited number of shipments of materials that pose extreme risks. Shipments falling into the first category include the transportation of large quantities of flammable liquids and gases, specifically gasoline and propane. There are as many as 300,000 daily movements of these materials to residential areas and urban areas and other population centers. Security on these shipments is loose because the activities are commonplace and there has been no history of terrorist threats in this area. Tank trucks with flammable liquids or gases can be used to create fires and explosions that can cause multiple deaths or damage high value facilities such as bridges, monuments, rail stations or airports. Other risks in the motor carrier industry involve the transportation of explosives and poisonous gases. Although there are many fewer of these shipments and the security is generally tighter, these materials can cause extensive damage. Poisonous gases have the potential to kill many people and explosives can damage infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, or dams.
Hazardous materials are also a security risk in storage and loading facilities. Many loading facilities in the gasoline and propane industries are not manned. Drivers access the facilities with electronic key cards or other similar devices that may be stolen. Destruction of these facilities and operations can lead to significant loss of life and to major societal disruptions such as affecting supplies of home heating fuel. Hazardous materials, particularly poisons, are a major threat to water supplies.
Operational Testing - As the FMCSA investigated methods to improve security, it became apparent that there are significant technological solutions in the market that, if applied to shipments of hazardous materials, could improve security. Examples of these solutions include remote vehicle tracking system, remote vehicle disabling systems, off-route alert systems, and electronic ignition locks. While these systems exist, they are not in widespread use in the commercial transportation of hazardous materials. In addition, as in the case of vehicle tracking systems, the systems have previously been geared toward efficiency and its security benefits have not been fully explored.
The FMCSA believes that conducting an operational test to demonstrate the effectiveness of these technological solutions in enhancing security will speed up their deployment by the industry. The evaluation of the operational test will also quantify the maintenance costs of these systems, and other operational and safety benefits beyond their security purposes.
Purpose - The purpose of this initiative is to quantify the security costs and benefits of an operational concept that applies technology and improved enforcement procedures to HM transportation. A field operational test shall be conducted to demonstrate an approach that ensures the safety and security of HM shipments from origin to destination.
Scope - The scope of this effort shall include activities that address the following risk areas: driver verification, off-route vehicle alerts, stolen vehicles (both tractors and trailers), unauthorized drivers, cargo tampering, and suspicious cargo deliveries. Suspicious cargo deliveries include the unauthorized shipment of certain types of HM to facilities that would not normally use the HM in their business operations and the shipment of different types of HM, that when combined, could pose a security risk.
The scope of this project shall be organized in three stages: the pickup of HM from shipper, the transportation of the HM, and the delivery of the HM to the receiver at the final destination. The operational test shall demonstrate an integrated operational approach that includes as many of the following functions as practicable within the constraints of this activity.
1. Pick up of HM from shipper
2. En-route transportation of HM
3. Delivery of HM to receiver
Offerors are strongly encouraged to propose solutions that utilize commercial-off-the- shelf technologies that can be implemented rapidly by the motor carrier industry.
The project scope shall also include the following items:
Task 1 - Conduct a Risk/Threat Assessment
The contractor shall conduct an assessment that organizes the safety and security risks and threats in the motor carrier transportation of HM. This assessment will serve to frame the safety and security risks being addressed by this operational test and be used as the basis for developing the Concept of Operations (Task 2). The assessment will categorize the threats and assist and be the basis for the prioritization of countermeasures. The assessment shall at a minimum include consideration of the following elements:

Specifically designed for the practicing molder, this workshop focuses on developing new and enhancing existing shop floor troubleshooting skills for solving molded-part defects and improving part quality problems. Each day, participants will rotate through six to eight microprocessor-controlled machines that have been set up with special, case-study molds. These molds have been modified over time to produce a specific molded part defect under a given set of less-than-optimal molding conditions. Participants will analyze and attempt to solve real molding problems.
This two-and-one-half-day workshop is geared to those who wish to improve their knowledge of thermoplastic injection molding. It is designed to provide the greatest value possible to injection molding practitioners who troubleshoot problem parts to increase molding efficiency and decrease part defects/rejects. Beyond machine operators, a variety of others can benefit from the workshop, including process and project engineers, manufacturing engineers, and team leaders.
1. Surface Defects
- Flow lines and jetting
- Splay (moisture or trapped air)
- Haze, blush, and poor gloss
- Orange peel and surface ripples
- Gate blush and gate splay
2. Burning and Contamination Problems
- Burn marks and black specks
- Burn streaks
- Contamination
- Discoloration or poor color match
3. Physical Problems
- Flash and short shots
- Sink marks
- Vacuum voids and bubbles
- Blisters and delamination
4. Geometry Maintenance Problems
- Under- or over-sized dimensions
- Poor dimensional repeatability (poor Cpk)
- Warpage and bowing
5. Structural Defects
- Cracking, crazing, and brittleness
- Weld lines
- Stuck parts and pin push marks
- Long gates and plugged gates
- Drag marks and mold damage
6. Troubleshooting Procedures and Logic
- How to effectively approach, analyze, and implement troubleshooting procedures.
7. Exploring Root Causes
- Explore the root causes of the various defects from the perspective of the plastic material as it fills, compresses, and cools within the cavity.
8. Part Defectives and Potential Solutions
- Some attention will be given to potential design-related problems, but the emphasis will be on how to optimize the part quality with process-related solutions.
9. Troubleshooting Guides (The Good, The Bad, The Efficient)
- A comparison of the different troubleshooting guide formats, including which tend to be most effective for solving molded part problems.
10. Interpreting Velocity and Pressure Shot Traces
- The graphical outputs of the injection pressure and injection velocity traces provide a window into the mold that was not previously available on older machines. Proper interpretation of these shot traces can simplify and speed up the troubleshooting process.
11. Applying Designed Experiments for Advanced Troubleshooting
- Insight into how and when to implement designed experiments (DOEs) for difficult-to-solve defects or quality problems with poor repeatability.
12. Evaluating Attendees' Molded Part Samples
- Defective part samples brought in by the participants will be discussed in a group format. An understanding by the participants of the processing conditions or a current process set-up sheet will greatly facilitate this discussion.
