Gold boxes return with a new color-changing familiar! The toucan has evaded this box, but we've had glimpses of a camouflaging chameleon familiar. The primary color will change to match the primary color of the pirate's torso clothing. The secondary color will not change. For April, the secondary colors will be grey, green, light blue and persimmon.
This box also includes spring green trinkets and chroma. Did ye purchased a blue hound from the Palace Shoppe? If so, ye'll be able to use Bottled Bluebeard to temporarily look like yer pet, as all pet owners should. Ye'll celebrate the shiny of this box with golden furniture, clothing and trinkets. This month's crystal ball furniture will be the striking color lime! Ask the crystal ball: Is there a dreamstone sea turtle pet in yer future?
Find Gold boxes at your island bank until April 14th at 3 PM PDT. You can find the full list of prizes, right here.

Congratulations to all the talented players whose egg designs were selected to be added to the game this year! Beginning today, egg furniture will be available in the palace shoppe, and as prizes in tournaments and competitions! Now is the perfect time to decorate your home, ships, shop or hall for spring.
BREAKING NEWS NOW - Eggpocalypse 2014!
The Department o' HWFO is gathering reports from around the oceans that eggs have been found broken or cracked! There are unconfirmed reports that strange creatures have been sighted on colonized islands. Frantic Ray yells, 'They've hatched velociraptARRRs!", but Panicked Jane swears the're small and fast.
Frantic pirates were seen running from their homes earlier today, clutching broken egg shells. One shocked pirate was mumbling, 'I thought it was chocolate inside...'
When we hit the docks looking for information, there were only a handful of pirates to be seen. When asked about the egg hatching theory, Smug Callum declared "When ye originally decorated yer home with giant, unidentified waist-high eggs, ye thought to yerself, 'That looks lovely. What could ever possibly go wrong?' Well, now ye know!" Paranoid Sam's voice whispered, 'They spy on you for the OMs, you know! The eggs, the pets, even the familiars!' Only the glint of the sun off his foil hat was visible as he ran into the forest.
Are eggs safe? We'll have all the facts for you tomorrow!

More than just green is springing up around the oceans this month! Hedgehogs in umber, almond, grey, chestnut and brown are now in the palace shoppe. These spiny little pets purr contentedly in the warm weather.
Also appearing in the palace shoppe, a new blue dog! The Department o' the Treasury was sure the color would be temporary after these dogs were found rolling in a spilled barrel of Bottled Bluebeard. Alas, the blue just won't come off, so they're introducing a new pet to ye pirates: Blue Hound! These small dogs will be available in the palace shoppe through April 3rd!

Many a sailor searching for treasure and riches has charted a course for the Haunted Seas ruled by Barnabas the Pale. Some return to port with chests of haunted items dredged up from the bottom of the sea, frightful trinkets in night blue, or strange spectral pets. Others wash ashore, barely alive, with ghastly tales of phantasms yielding spectral swords, and unearthly ships.
Hushed whispers can be heard that the profits from such voyages have suddenly increased. Ye hear that graveyards appear more frequently, and there is an increase in pieces of eight awarded from defeated haunted ships and graveyards. If ye find yerself on a sinking ship, ye have an increased chance of an injury.
Deadly Lairs: Brave the Graveyard will be active until March 19th at noon PDT. If yer on a Doubloon Ocean, ye will need a bravery badge. Pirates on Cerulean will need a subscription to participate.
Be brave, me hearties!
It's time again for the Pirate Census!
Every so often, we put together a survey to gather information about the interests and preferences of the Puzzle Pirates community. The results of the survey remain anonymous. We use the information to get a better idea of who is spending their time sailing our seas and to help us decide what kinds of future projects will be of interest to the community.
The survey will be available through Monday, March 24th, so please take a few minutes to help us build a better Puzzle Pirates by filling out the survey right now!

Own a subscription or make a purchase of $9.99 or more in March to receive a desktop model sloop!
The snow has melted, Jack Frost is in retreat, and pirates everywhere wonder why they still can't feel their noses. It's just the sort of distraction you can use to yer advantage as you earn the March Seal o'Piracy by participating in 4 tournaments!

It seems while ye pirates were busy making a love connection with Pinkfoot, the Empire's outposts were stocked, and Vikings were more daring with their raids! Load a crew on yer ship, and grab something pointy to prepare for an expedition rally! During this event expeditions will be easier to find, and they will have greater treasures to win.
Be sure to visit the Explorers' Hall for the latest rumors and locations for Empire strongholds and Viking activity. Charts for Viking Raids and Imperial Outposts will appear more frequently. Expedition maps may also be found inside some Black Boxes.
Viking and Imperial trinkets are awarded to victorious pirates who own a subscription on Cerulean or those who possess a rank badge on doubloon oceans. Trinkets can be exchanged for special items at the Trading Post.
This Expedition Rally will be active from February 24th at noon PST until March 3rd at noon PST.
Happy hunting, mates!
The team has been dreaming of this sloop for a long time and now, it is ready! This new sloop has a cabin, and for those extended voyages out to sea, bedrolls for a quick nap on deck.
Just click the bedroll and count some sheep while you drift off to sleep, clutching yer rum jug.
The limited edition Dream Class Sloop will transport yer crew to the land of dreams. Fluffy clouds and numbered sheep will ensure a restful visit to dreamland, so ye can return to the seas refreshed and...wait, do those cannons have arms and legs?
Suddenly this dream is feeling a bit unsettled. What is with that giant flower? Is that sheep following me? Fall through the vortex hatch and enter the surreal hold of the dream ship. Find a giant sleeping turtle and a walking, talking rumjug. While he may not be able to find his hat, only the most skilled pirates will be able to best him in drinking.
Below the hold enter a maze of endless stairways and doors. Don't let panic set it while ye seek yer way out of this disturbing tangle.
Exhausted from running in the endless stairways, and relieved to have escaped the red room, will ye find a safe haven in the cabin? This nightmare space will not give ye respite from the terror, and ye might wake up in a cold sweat.
Will the sandman bring ye fair dreams or horrifying nightmares? Visit yer local shipyard today, because the Dream Class Sloop will fade away from shoppes on April 3rd.

Life Lessons: Fired by Facebook
Updated On: May 21 2013 07:32:40 AM CDT
Do you mix Facebook and work?
A Cisco Technology study finds 70 percent of young professionals admit to friending their boss or co-worker.
But what you post on social media could cost you your job.
For eight years Misty Roberson worked as a clerk in a pediatrician's office. About her job, Misty says she, "Loved it! I never had any intentions of leaving there."
She consistently received high marks on evaluations.
But a post she made one day on Facebook changed everything!
Misty's daughter, a patient at the clinic, was sick and Misty couldn't get an appointment for her.
Misty explains, "That night I had posted on my Facebook, 'After two and half hours of being at the immediate care, I finally have answers because work had no appointments. Can you believe it?'"
Shortly after she was called into her manager's office.
"They just told me that I was being terminated because I had violated social media policy."
Attorney Amanda Farahany alleges the clinic's policy is illegal and violated Misty's right to free speech.
"People are actually allowed to communicate about the workplace, " says Farahany.
But she says workers should be very cautious when posting about their jobs.
Some tips - set up two accounts, one for friends, one for professional relationships.
Don't post personal info or pictures you don't want others to see.
Know your company's social media policy, and take advantage of privacy features, but realize your company can access everything if you've posted from their computers.
Farahany warns, "If you're on the company's computers, it's not private."
That includes any emails you send from personal accounts. Misty is taking legal action against the clinic.
"I want them to realize that they've hurt me, " she says.
But she says she's extra careful these days. "I'm scared to write anything now on Facebook."
According to the National Labor Relations Board, workers should be allowed to talk about work conditions without fear of punishment, but the rules are clearly still being written.

Lies, damn lies and export statistics: A conversation about the impact of free trade agreements on our communities
President Obama recently announced plans to push through the Korea Free Trade Agreement immediately after the November election. This latest agreement is part of the president's stated goal of creating new jobs through a doubling of the nation's exports. Fair trade advocates say the Korea Free Trade Agreement is just more of the Bush-Clinton trade policy that has resulted in local job loss, erosion of environmental safeguards and the transfer of more wealth and power to Wall Street.

Good features but buggy and unreliable
This review is from: Toshiba BDX5300 3D/2D Multi Region Free DVD Blu-ray disc Player
Pros: This unit has great features for the money.
Cons: Terrible internal WiFi Arial, wired Ethernet required. Software is very buggy, this unit freezes almost every time I use it; I have it on a remote controlled switch so I can kill power from a distance rather than walk over and take apart furniture each time. That said if you need multi-region like I do I would still consider it.
Other Thoughts: The vendor I purchased from seems to offer no customer support; try and buy from another. My emails have been universally ignored

A rotary union for delivery of a coolant fluid to a spindle of a metal working machine comprises a housing having a cylindrical bore containing bearings for journaling a tubular shaft therein wherein the improvement resides in the provision of a floating bushing seal as the high-pressure seal. The floating bushing seal assembly includes a seal housing containing a plurality of longitudinally disposed bushing rings that have a low clearance fit with respect to the tubular shaft of the rotary union.
1. A rotary fluid coupling, comprising:
(a) a housing having a wall defining a cylindrical bore;
(b) a tubular shaft having a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port;
(c) bearing means disposed in the cylindrical bore for journaling the tubular shaft for rotation therein;
(d) a low-pressure, non-contacting fixed-clearance bushing seal assembly operatively disposed between the housing and the tubular shaft to inhibit fluid introduced at the fluid inlet port from reaching the bearing means; and
(e) a high-pressure, non-contacting, fixed-clearance bushing seal assembly operatively disposed between the housing and the tubular shaft to inhibit fluid introduced at the fluid inlet port from reaching the low-pressure bushing seal assembly.
2. The rotary fluid coupling of claim 1 and further including a drain port formed through the wall of the housing and in fluid communication with the cylindrical bore in a zone between the low-pressure bushing seal assembly and the high-pressure bushing seal assembly to expose the zone to ambient pressure.
3. The rotary fluid coupling of claim 2 wherein the low-pressure and high-pressure bushing seal assemblies each comprise a floating bushing seal assembly.
4. The rotary fluid coupling of claim 3 wherein the low-pressure and high-pressure floating bushing seal assemblies each comprise a plurality of rings having a clearance fit relative to a portion of the tubular shaft, the plurality of rings having limited radial movement relative to the tubular shaft.
5. The rotary fluid coupling of claim 4 and further including biasing means for inhibiting longitudinal displacement of the plurality of rings along said tubular shaft.
6. The rotary fluid coupling of claim 4 wherein the plurality of rings comprises silicon carbide rings.
7. The rotary fluid coupling of claim 4 wherein each of the low-pressure and high-pressure bushing seal assemblies further includes an annular seal housing disposed between the cylindrical bore of the housing and the tubular shaft, said seal housing including a counterbore containing the plurality of rings.
8. The rotary fluid coupling of claim 1 and further including a first end cap affixed to one end of the housing and including a central bore in fluid communication with the cylindrical bore in the housing upstream of the fluid inlet port.
9. The rotary fluid coupling of claim 1 and further including a flinger affixed to the tubular shaft at a location between the bearing means and the low pressure seal for imparting radially directed forces on liquid droplets that may find their way through the low-pressure seal.
10. The rotary fluid coupling of claim 1 and further including means on said tubular shaft adapted to affix the tubular shaft to a rotary spindle of a machine tool.
This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 09/298,030 Apr. 22, 1999 now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to high speed machining equipment, and more particularly to an improved rotary union for delivering a lubricant/coolant to a tool bit to thereby increase the production rate of metal parts being produced.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
Rotary unions are commonly used on machine shop tools, such as milling machines, jig bores, engine lathes, drill presses, shapers, planers, etc., to deliver a cooling liquid directly to the location where the cutting tool or bit contacts the workpiece. Typically, a rotary spindle supports a cutting tool or bit in a chuck. Both the rotary spindle and the cutting tool or bit are tubular such that a cooling/lubricating liquid can be made to flow through the lumens thereof and exit the tool bit at its cutting surface. The rotary union is the mechanism that allows introduction of the cooling/lubricating liquid or compressed air into the lumen of the machine tool's spindle from a stationary source, such as a high-pressure pump.
When performing deep boring or drilling operations, it is advantageous to deliver the coolant liquid under high-pressure at the cutting surface of the bit to effectively blast away metal chips from the bore as it is being formed. By removing the metal chips while effectively cooling the bit, boring, milling, drilling other metal working operations can be completed in a considerably shorter time than when the coolant/lubricant is merely flooded on the surface of the workpiece. The rotary union, thus, provides a way to deliver the liquid coolant to a rotating tool in a machining operation.
A popular prior art rotary union for use with metal working machines is that sold by the Deublin Company of North Brook, Ill. The Deublin product is described in the Kubala Patent 4,976,282. A shortcoming in the design of the rotary union of the type described in the Kubala patent centers on the type of high-pressure seal utilized therein. It incorporates a rotating seal member carried by the rotor of the coolant union and a rotating, floating seal member carried by a fluid pressure actuated device that urges the two seal members together when the liquid coolant, under pressure, is applied to the inlet port of the union. This type of seal has proven to be short lived, requiring frequent repair and replacement. Failure of the high-pressure seal allows the liquid coolant to reach the bearings, journaling the rotating shaft, washing away the bearing lubricant, ultimately leading to bearing failure. Also, the Deublin device cannot be used with compressed air when the spindle of the machine tool is running.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,449,739 to Raether discloses a rotary coupling for conducting a high-pressure liquid to a rotatable utilization device. The device disclosed in this patent is primarily intended for use in high-pressure, but low-speed applications, such as in rock drilling. The sealing rings described in this patent utilize alternating plastic and carbon sealing rings. In essence, the sealing rings function in the same manner as common chevron seals where the fluid pressure forces the plastic seals against the rotating shaft. The carbon rings are essentially just spacers, aiding in support of the plastic seal rings to inhibit extrusion of the plastic sealing rings. While such an arrangement may be workable at low rotational speeds, for machine tool applications where shaft speeds may approach 20,000 rpm, the arrangement shown in the Raether et al. patent would not be suitable. The friction between the rotating shaft and the plastic seal rings would rapidly destroy the seal.
It is accordingly a principal object of the present invention to provide an improved rotary union for use with high rpm metal working machines of the type described having an improved bearing seal arrangement that significantly increases the mean time to repair such rotary coolant unions.
Another object of the invention is to provide a non-contact bearing seal arrangement for a rotary union of the type described that can operate at fluid inlet pressures of 2000 psi or more and whose shaft can be rotated in excess of 2500 rpm, e.g., up to 20,000 rpm, for prolonged periods of three years or more.
The foregoing objects and advantages are achieved in accordance with a first embodiment by providing a rotary fluid coupling that includes a housing with a wall defining a cylindrical bore therein for containing a tubular shaft having a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port, the shaft being journaled in a set of bearings also contained within the cylindrical bore of the housing. In the first embodiment, a low-pressure labyrinth seal is operatively disposed between the housing and the tubular shaft to inhibit fluid introduced at the fluid inlet port of the housing from reaching the shaft bearings. Important to that embodiment is the provision of a high-pressure, non-contacting bushing seal assembly that is operatively disposed between the housing and the tubular shaft to inhibit fluid introduced at the fluid inlet port from reaching the low-pressure labyrinth seal. The high-pressure bushing seal comprises a plurality of silicon carbide rings that surround the tubular shaft with a low clearance fit and which are contained within a seal housing that allows minute radial displacement of the rings relative to the shaft. A weep bore is formed through the wall of the housing to expose a zone between the high-pressure bushing seal and the low-pressure labyrinth seal at ambient pressure and to allow recirculation of any cooling fluid that might seep through the low clearance gap between the high-pressure bushing seal rings and the tubular shaft.
In accordance with an alternative embodiment, the labyrinth seal is replaced by a second non-contact bushing seal having a controlled leakage to provide self-lubrication between the internal diameter of the silicon carbide rings and the shaft. In addition, a flinger is mounted on the shaft to throw any liquid seeping through the high-pressure bushing seal out through a weep hole so as to prevent it from reaching the shaft bearings.
The foregoing features, objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment especially when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a preferred construction of the rotary union constructed in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of a preferred construction of the rotary union constructed in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention.
Certain terminology will be used in the following description for convenience in reference only and will not be limiting. The words �upwardly�, �downwardly�, �rightwardly� and �leftwardly� will refer to directions in the drawings to which reference is made. The words �inwardly� and �outwardly� will refer to directions toward and away from, respectively, the geometric center of the device and associated parts thereof. Said terminology will include the words above specifically mentioned, derivatives thereof and words of similar import.
Referring then to FIG. 1, there is indicated generally by numeral 10 a dry running coolant union configured in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. It comprises an outer, generally cylindrical housing 12 having an internal cylindrical bore 14 and a counterbore 16 defining a shoulder 18 therebetween. Affixed to the right end of the cylindrical housing 12 is an end cap member 20 which is held in place by cap screws 22. An O-ring 23 is disposed between the housing 12 and the end cap 20. The end cap 20 includes a threaded bore 24 for receiving a hose fitting therein. Thus, fluid, under pressure, can be delivered through the hose through the inlet port 24 of the end cap.
Journaled for rotation within the cylindrical housing 12 is a tubular shaft 26 having a longitudinally extending, concentric lumen 28 through which a fluid introduced through the inlet port 24 may flow. The shaft 26 is supported by ball bearings 30, which preferably comprise silicon nitride hybrid ABEC class 9, angular-contact ball bearings which are commercially available from the New Hampshire Ball Bearing Company. These ball bearings are lubricated with an appropriate grease at the time of manufacture and a bearing protecting labyrinth seal assembly 32 is provided to prevent any coolant fluid from reaching the ball bearings 30 and washing away the grease.
The labyrinth seal assembly comprises a seal housing 34 of an annular configuration which is held in place by the shoulder 18 of the housing and which includes annular grooves as at 36 in the periphery thereof for containing a pair of O-rings as at 38. The O-rings provide a fluid tight seal between the seal housing 34 and the inner wall of the housing defining the bore 14. The bearing protecting seal assembly 32 further includes a labyrinth seal member 40 which comprises a plurality of longitudinally spaced annular projections closely cooperating with the periphery of the shaft 26. The annular strips of material that extend toward the shaft form orifices that throttle the flow and create high fluid velocities at the constriction. Fluid then expands into the annular grooves or recesses defined by the projecting rings resulting in turbulence and an associated pressure drop. Labyrinth seals suitable for use in the present invention are available commercially from the Garlock Corporation of Palmyra, N.Y., but limitation thereto is not intended.
A further bearing protector seal 42 is located at the left end of the housing 12 and is held in place by a snap ring 44. The bearing 42 may comprise a suitable plastic, such as Delrin, and prevents any splash back of coolant fluid from entering the bore 14 of the housing 12.
To isolate the low-pressure seal assembly 32 from the high-pressure coolant fluid introduced through the inlet port 24, the rotary union of the present invention includes a high-pressure bushing seal assembly indicated generally by numeral 46. The assembly 46 includes a seal housing member 48, preferably formed from stainless steel and having a central opening 50 through which the shaft 26 may pass. The seal housing 48 further includes a counterbore 52 into which may be fitted a plurality of bushing seal rings 54, 56. The bushing seal rings 54 and 56 are preferably formed from silicon carbide and the central opening thereof are dimensioned so as to provide an extremely close, but non-contacting clearance fit about the inlet end portion of the shaft 26. The plurality of bushing seal rings 54, 56 are urged together and against the shoulder 58 of the seal housing 48 by means of a spring washer 60.
The bushing seals work on the principle of the throttling action provided by a long, annular gap with a relatively small clearance between the seal rings and the shaft. In that the effectiveness of a bushing seal of the type described is directly related to fluid viscosity, they are generally suitable only for sealing liquids and, in particular, in applications where some small leakage can be tolerated. By providing a low clearance fit between the seal rings 54, 56 and the shaft 26, a floating non-contact bushing seal is created allowing the sealing rings to follow radial shaft movements. By splitting the length of the bushing into several rings, each of which is capable of limited independent movement, each ring can adjust automatically to shaft motions over its own length. Also because each ring only carries a portion of the total pressure differential, it is able to move much more freely, reducing wear occasioned by intermittent random contact between the floating rings 54, 56 and the shaft 26.
With continued reference to the embodiment of FIG. 1, located between the high-pressure seal housing 48 and the low-pressure labyrinth seal housing 34 is a zone 62 that is maintained at ambient pressure by the inclusion of drain ports 64 formed through the wall of the housing 12 and communicating with the counterbore 16 of the housing. Thus, there is a minimal pressure drop across the labyrinth seal assembly 32.
By utilizing a floating-ring type bushing seal as the high-pressure seal in the rotary union 10 of FIG. 1, problems associated with prior art rotary unions are obviated, all as has been set forth in the introductory portion of the present specification.
In operation, the tubular shaft 26 has a fitting 66 that is internally threaded to cooperate with external threads on a machine tool spindle (not shown). The spindle is driven by an electric motor at relatively high speeds and carries a tool support and bit at its opposite end. A source of high-pressure liquid is coupled by a tube (not shown) to the inlet port 24 in the end cap 20. This fluid is effectively blocked by the high-pressure seal assembly 46 from flowing along the exterior of the shaft 26 and, hence, substantially the entire flow (save modest leakage) passes through the lumen 28 of the shaft and through the tubular spindle. Any leakage through the high-pressure seal 46 escapes the weep ports 64 which may be coupled by tubing back to a reservoir. The labyrinth seal assembly 32 blocks any of the liquid seeping past the high-pressure seal from entering the bearings 30 and compromising the lubricant used on these bearings.
Without limitation, the liquid introduced through the union of the present invention may be at about 2000 psi and the shaft 26 may be driven at a substantially higher rotational velocity than can be allowed with the Deublin union described hereinabove. The delivery of high-pressure fluid through the union, the spindle to which it is attached and through the tool bit serves not only to maintain the tool bit at a relatively low temperature, even at high operating speeds, while also serving to flush and blast metal particles from the workpiece.
Referring next to FIG. 2, there is shown an alternative embodiment of the invention. In that there is a relatively high degree of similarity between the embodiment of FIG. 1 and that of FIG. 2, parts in FIG. 2 common to those in FIG. 1 include the same reference numeral, except in FIG. 2, the reference numeral is primed.
The dry running coolant union of FIG. 2 is indicated generally by numeral 10′ and is seen to comprise an outer, generally cylindrical housing 12′ having an internal cylindrical bore 14′ along with a counterbore 16′ defining a shoulder 18′ therebetween. Affixed to the right end of the cylindrical housing 12′ is an end cap member 20′. The end cap 20′ includes a threaded bore 24′ for receiving a threaded male hose fitting therein. Thus, fluid, under pressure, can be delivered through the hose (not shown) and through the inlet port 24′ of the end cap 20′. A tubular shaft 26′ is journaled for rotation within the cylindrical housing 12′. The tubular shaft 26′ has a longitudinally extending central lumen 28′ through which a fluid introduced through the inlet port 24′ may flow. The shaft 26′ is supported by ball bearings 30′ which, as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, may preferably be silicone nitride hybrid ABEC Class 9 angular contact ball bearings.
The ball bearings 30′ are lubricated with an appropriate grease at the time of their manufacture and for long life, it is imperative that the liquid coolant pump through the coolant union not reach the bearings 30′ so as to compromise the grease lubrication. To this end, the dry running coolant union 10′ of the embodiment of FIG. 2 incorporates first and second bushing seals 33 and 46′, respectively. The bushing seals are contained within the counterbore 16′ of the housing 12′ and are maintained in a spaced relationship by an apertured and externally grooved lantern ring 35. The bushing seal assembly 33 includes a seal housing member 37, preferably formed from stainless steel and having a central opening 39 through which the shaft 26′ may pass. The seal housing 37 further includes a counterbore 41 into which is fitted a plurality of bushing seal rings 43 and 45. These seal rings are preferably formed from silicon carbide and the central openings thereof are dimensioned so as to provide an extremely close clearance fit about the mid-portion of the shaft 26′. The bushing seal rings 43 and 45 are urged together and against a shoulder 47 of the seal ring housing 37 by means of a spring washer 49.
The lantern ring 35 defines a zone 62′ that is maintained at ambient pressure by the inclusion of drain ports 64′ formed through the wall of the housing 12 and communicating with the counterbore 16′ of the housing through the radial openings (not shown) formed through the lantern ring 35. Thus, there is a minimum pressure drop across the bushing seal assembly 43.
The high-pressure bearing seal 46′ is substantially the same in its construction to the bushing seal assembly 46 of the embodiment of FIG. 1 so that details of its construction need not be repeated here.
The use of floating-ring type bushing seals for both the high-pressure seal 46′ and the low-pressure seal 33 also obviates problems associated with prior art rotary unions. In that the rings 43, 45 and 54′, 56′ have a minute clearance space between their internal diameters and the outside diameter of the shaft 26′, there is a controlled leakage of the coolant fluid in the interface therebetween to maintain a film of lubrication to minimize wear and to prolong the mean time-to-repair of the coolant union.
Any coolant fluid seeping along the surface of the shaft 26′ through the high-pressure seal assembly 96′ is permitted to drain back out through the port 64′ thereby minimizing the amount of coolant fluid that needs to be blocked by the low-pressure bushing seal 33. Again, any fluid seeping between the I.D. of the sealing rings 43 and 45 and the O.D. of the shaft 26′ will flow into a zone 51 between the leftmost end of the bushing housing 37 and the shaft bearing assembly 30′. Disposed within this zone and secured to the shaft 26′ is a �flinger� 53 which rotates with the shaft 26′ at a relatively high speed. Any moisture particles reaching the zone 51 are struck by the flinger 53, throwing that moisture out through ports 55 formed through the wall of the coolant union housing 12′.
In FIG. 2, numeral 57 refers to a bearing shield which is operatively disposed between the periphery of the flinger 53 and the ball bearing assembly 30′. It helps direct moisture struck from the flinger by reaching the shaft bearings.
As in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the dry running coolant union illustrated in FIG. 2 includes a bearing protector seal 42′ at its leftmost end, that seal being held in place by a retaining ring 44′.
This invention has been described herein in considerable detail in order to comply with the patent statutes and to provide those skilled in the art with the information needed to apply the novel principles and to construct and use such specialized components as are required. However, it is to be understood that the invention can be carried out by specifically different equipment and devices, and that various modifications, both as to the equipment and operating procedures, can be accomplished without departing from the scope of the invention itself.

Editor's Notes: The Rural Economy Project
|| Print |
|Robin Doussard
|Monday, May 03, 2010
It's unusual for Oregon's rural communities to get the spotlight. With most of the population of the state living in the Portland Metro area, rural towns are out of sight and generally out of mind. Rural leaders for years have told me that they figure they are pretty much on their own to reinvent their depressed economies, and unfortunately I have to agree with them.
Most rural counties have higher unemployment, worse poverty, fewer services and a weaker economy than the urban centers. But in my years of traveling around the state covering Oregon, I've seen few rural communities giving up. Despite the recession, or loss of timber money, another business defection or any one of the thousands of small cuts that chip away at their towns, rural Oregon keeps fighting.
Which is why the Rural Economy Project is so heartening. It's a collaboration of the Rural Development Initiative, Oregon Public Broadcasting, Sustainable Northwest, the Oregon Consortium/Workforce Alliance and WorkSource Oregon and is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The project's mission is to look at the issues facing rural economies and has several elements, including a five-part radio series produced by OPB, which launched on April 20, and special editions of its Think Out Loud program, which kicked off its first forum on April 19 in Newport.
And then there is Ripple, a website that was developed by RDI that will be the home of the OPB stories. "OPB needed strong partners in rural communities," says Robert Ault, RDI's regional program manager for networking. "Ripple was the perfect way to archive and disseminate what they are doing."
Ripple has existed for about four years as RDI's community website, a place for rural people to share, connect and have their voices heard. It was relaunched in January to make it more "beautiful, important; and to tell good stories," says Ault.
It is all those things. One of the stories is a moving report by OPB about being unemployed in Burns, where reporter Ethan Lindsey is following 61-year-old Mike Rust. You may have never visited Burns, it being many hours east from the I-5 population corridor. It is strikingly beautiful and brutally hit with high unemployment. In Rust's voice you hear the pride of a working man, but also the pain of joblessness. There are other voices, other stories that have the same impact.
Ripple also hosts blogs and shared resources. Ault says the next phase is how to deepen and broaden what's on the site. Moving beyond the website, Ripple is coming off the screen and holding its first event May 21-22 in Hood River. It's a chance to meet the people behind the curtain, and a chance to join in discussions about rural economic issues.Yes, it matters, even if you don't live there.
But if you can't make it, tune in to hear what OPB, Ripple and the other partners is this effort to spotlight rural Oregon are doing. You don't need to drive all day to Burns to gain some understanding of what's happening to your fellow Oregonians. You just need to tune in to the stories that the Rural Economy Project is producing. And really listen.

Atlanta rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em has killed the hype suggesting that his new song takes aim at the United States military and law enforcement by releasing an apology statement.
Soulja Boy defended his initial "F*ck military" line claiming it was a result of watching the aftermath of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks.
"As a young man who grew up in the post-9/11 era, I have watched our country fight two wars that seem like they are never going to end. I have seen thousands and thousands of our brave men and women get killed in battle and often times, I think for what? A lot of people in this country are struggling to make ends meet and I think a lot about what if we had never gone to war. Where would our economy be? Our schools, our after-school and work programs, our streets? I mean, damn, 48 people got shot in New York City just this past weekend … in 3 days … I'm not saying that it is just because of a bad economy, but at a certain point we have to take care of our own people." (Hollywood Reporter)
The 21-year-old also made sure to apologize to anyone who took offense.
"In no way would I ever want to offend those who are protecting our freedoms … a lot of homeboys who I grew up with, a lot of people who come from the neighborhoods we live in … In no way do I want to hurt any of our honorable soldiers who put their lives at risk, regardless of how they feel about the two wars we fight in. I am just frustrated that we haven't been able to bring you all home quick enough and my frustration got the best of me. I am deeply sorry." (Hollywood Reporter)
Aside from the apology, an ex-military official has released a diss track going at Soulja Boy.
Retired Marine Fred A. Flores has already branded the lyrics "offensive" and an online petition has been started, campaigning for the star's music to be banned from U.S. military bases. Now former infantry sergeant Leo Dunson has slated Soulja Boy, real name DeAndre Cortez Way, in a track called Change Your Name. (OK! Magazine)
Negative buzz surrounding Soulja Boy's "Let's Be Real" developed a few days ago.
TMZ spoke with Fred A. Flores — a retired Marine who is now a commissioner for the L.A. County Veteran's Advisory Commission. Flores tells us, "It's a very offensive statement … especially with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 coming up." Flores — who has two children currently serving in the military — calls Soulja "Ungrateful" … adding, "He should apologize to ALL armed forces." "[The rap] is very irresponsible," Flores stated … "especially for a person who is an entertainer for the youth of our country." (TMZ)

Halloween is next week! I love getting dressed up and handing out candy, but every once and a while, I'll have a trick or treater that seems a bit old to be asking for candy.

Larson eager to make noise with his driving
Kyle Larson can't wait for the day the talk is solely about his skills as a driver and not the crashes or close calls that have tainted his rookie season in the Nationwide Series.
AP Sports Writer
Kyle Larson can't wait for the day the talk is solely about his skills as a driver and not the crashes or close calls that have tainted his rookie season in the Nationwide Series.
The 20-year-old Larson gained attention when his car flew off the track and into the fence at Daytona International Speedway in February. More than two dozen people were hurt when debris, including a tire, went into the grandstands.
Two weeks later, Larson's car was in flames after a crash in Las Vegas. Then last Friday night, Larson nearly slid into a cleanup truck at Texas Motor Speedway after blowing a tire.
"Hopefully, I'm getting all these weird races out of the way early in my career," he said this week at Darlington Raceway.
Larson capped the week with a checkered flag when he took the Camping World Truck Series race at Rockingham Speedway this past Sunday.
"I've been running a well, maybe a little bit better than I expected," he said. "I'd like to get more exposure for that than for events like Daytona."
That's why Larson and his Turner Scott Motorsports teammate Nelson Piquet Jr. came to Darlington for two days of rookie testing. Larson had only seen "The Lady In Black" on TV and got an up-close look at the speedway's narrow straightaways and misshapen corners.
He and Piquet were tutored by Todd Bodine, who's won both Nationwide and truck series races at Darlington, on the best way to get around NASCAR's oldest superspeedway.
Larson's shown he's a fast learner.
Signed as a developmental driver by Earnhardt Ganassi Racing for the 2012 season, Larson debuted in the truck series last June with a top-10 finish in Kentucky.
Larson moved up to the Nationwide Series with TSM and has found his way into the headlines, if not Victory Lane. Larson's frightening accident at Daytona was replayed over and over, his car going airborne as pieces from the crash injured spectators. A forklift was needed to get Larson's engine out of the catch fence.
Still, Larson - who was unhurt in the crash - was back at it a week later and finished 13th in Phoenix.
Larson said soon after the Daytona accident that crashing is a risk drivers take and he was not nervous about returning to what he loves most of all.
The Daytona wreck, he said in February, wasn't even the worst of his career. Larson considers his accident in a midget car at Eldora Speedway last September worse because his car flipped after hitting the wall and then got hit broadside by another car.
"Off the top of my head, that wreck at Eldora hurt more and was just as scary. I almost had a car come in my cockpit," Larson said.
And Larson was far from finished with raceway accidents. Two weeks after Daytona, Larson started 13th at Las Vegas but ended 32nd after a collision with Joey Gase and Ryan Sieg.
Larson's latest brush occurred last weekend at Texas as he sped down the backstretch during a caution period. Larson's tire blew and he veered left toward a truck that had come onto the raceway to help clean up the track. Larson slid between the truck and the wall, avoiding what could've been a terrible accident.
"Hopefully, I'm done with these crazy events and get known for running well," he said, smiling.
There's plenty of talent there. Larson finished a close second to Kyle Busch last month in the Nationwide race at Bristol. Larson is second in rookie series' points and 11th overall among Nationwide drivers.
Larson showed those skills at Rockingham, outdueling veteran Joey Logano for the truck victory. The win for Larson, who is of Japanese-American heritage, was also the first in one of NASCAR's national series for a graduate of the organization's Drive for Diversity program.
Larson previously became the first NASCAR "D4D" competitor to win a NASCAR Touring championship. Driving for Rev Racing, Larson won last season's NASCAR K&N Pro Series East title and the Sunoco Rookie of the Year with two wins, eight top-five and 12 top-10 finishes in 14 starts.
NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France called the Rockingham victory an historic moment for the sport. "We applaud his tremendous talent and this landmark milestone for the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program," France said.
Trent Owens, Larson's Nationwide crew chief, said Larson takes to race tracks quickly and puts in the work on and off the course to make that happen. "That's one of the things he really excels at," Owens said.
Larson's simply hoping to make it through his debut Nationwide season. "It's been up and down," Larson said of the year. "We've been fast pretty much everywhere, but we just haven't caught all the breaks we've needed."

I bought this and love it. It fits across my entire bed and is great for cold winter nights to snuggle up on the couch with. It's always a fight between me and my spouse and our chihuahuas on who is going to get it.
I bought this for my jay hawk husband. He is a big guy (6'2'') and it is the perfect size. Super cozy. He loves it and i steal it often!

Basketball Teams Return to Action
Cincinnati State's basketball teams return to action this weekend following a week's respite from competition.
The men's team, ranked No. 4 nationally, will try to keep its 4-0 record unblemished when hosting Jackson Community College on Friday at 7:30 p.m. The women's squad, ranked No. 17, had its Friday appearance at Monroe Community College in Rochester, N.Y. cancelled due to the severe winter weather. The 3-1 Surge will visit Mercyhurst North East on Saturday for a 3 p.m. game.
The men's team has been idle since its Nov. 10 109-54 rout of the Union JVs. Deandre Hollins-Johnson tallied a career-high 22 points in that game and is proving to be the Surge's offensive leader, averaging 15.0 points while shooting a sizzling 57 percent from the field, 53 percent from 3-point range.
After opening the season with a 79-75 win over No. 20 Illinois Central, Cincinnati State has defeated its last three opponents by an average of 36 points.
The women's team last played on Nov. 12, a 91-71 win over Pikeville's JV team. Maura Hackney and Kasia Cicha recorded career highs with 21 points each. The Surge edged Mercyhurst North East, 82-80, in their season opener in Cincinnati.

Neurosurgery reviews in Saint Cloud
he was very personable, he explained everything, he answered all of my questions in a very respectful way, he didn't talk down to me. He was spot on, and the whole surgery thing, he was just a great mechanic. He did a great job on my surgery, and my neck is better than ever."
Overall my relationship and continued work with Dr under discussion where he felt strongly and I do trust him in that aspect. His staff are okay, I wouldn't say they are great or anything, and you really have to wrangle them especially if he notes something in your chart. For example physical therapy or x rays I have had to argue with them about orders he wrote that they claimed he didn't write and had to demand they pull my visit sheet and the guess what? All of a sudden I get a call for the X-"
Surgery was scheduled and on time, but the doctor I had been seeing, (whom I though was doing the surgery) The day of the surgery They rushed me in and put me under whom I had never met. I lost muscle tissue in my arm, and my speaking is different. They instantly referred my to a different doctor, who now wishes to go through the front of my neck with titanium plate. Very unhappy with "
Dr. with none outside acceptable limits."
We were very impressed with him. He hasn't done the surgery yet. The office was very clean. The help was very knowledgeable and helpful. He seemed to be very attentive and listened to what my husband was talking about. He read the report and then he actually checked out my husband. He told us about the diagnosis. It took us a little long to get in but it was worth the wait. His punctuality wasn't any worse than any other doctor; I didn't think it was that bad. We haven't gotten to the treatment yet. They took our co-pay right there."
I'm not writing this for me - but rather my 82 year old father. He'd had back problems for years. I attended all three appointments with him as well as the various tests that Dr. he could help Dad. Dr. "
He is competent and takes the time to explain things to me. He clearly knows what he is talking about. He anticipates what I am worrying about and will take all the time in the world to explain why he is doing a certain test and what it means. He told me some of the symptoms of a brain bleed and the fracture my son had. He is extremely thorough, extremely pleasant, careful and extremely accessible. He speaks to me in a language which I can understand and speaks to me as a thinking person. No question I ask him is too silly for him. He takes his time and flushes out the answers so that when I get off the phone I am not left wondering why I did not ask him a particular question. He returns my phone calls and is a doctor who cares."
