Teaching young readers about our countries history is easy and fun with the Professor Tuesday series of books by Jeffery L. Schatzer. I've had the opportunity to read his wonderful adventure about The Underground Railroad and found it very interesting and surprisingly fun to read.

i used to hide my money in a band-aid box in an air vent.
while walking to school with anthony he asked, after a natural pause in our conversation, "so dad. what is something you really want, that cost less than 20 dollars?".
while i was reflecting on things i talked about how the best present for someone was something they really wanted but for whatever reason wouldn't buy themselves. after a few minutes i told anthony that something i've been intrigued by for a number of years were mounted insects. after explaining what they were he asked why i would want that. i told him that from my photography contest i've come to be amazed at some of the insect-photography, especially the up-close macro images that people have sent in of bugs and stuff and that they are really very extraordinary and if they could be enlarged to, say, the size of one of these houses we were walking by they would be the most extraordinary things we've ever seen, both in their beauty and detail.
a few days later i mentioned anthony's question to marty. she told me she was well aware of the conversation because anthony then went to her and said he needed her to help him buy me a mounted insect for my birthday. after looking a bit, anthony found one that was $30. when marty asked him if he had $30 he said sure, walked to and opened one of his bedroom windows, pulled a velcro wallet from the outer jamb and produced the requested $30.
yeah, what, like you don't keep your money hidden in a window jamb?
and for reasons i can't explain (in that marty has confessed ignorance) both of my boys have taken a great interest in getting me a birthday gift this year. i'm admittedly a little easier to shop for since i went on my spending fast (
). also, i'm a little more eager for the goodies given i'm no longer buying myself each and every bauble that catches my eye. i have the sense it's all going to taste a bit sweeter this year.

what nine year old uses the word "glum"?
anthony got a typewriter for his ninth birthday. occassionally you'll find a sheet of paper full of typed text laying about the house. i've learned to stop and read them as i find the open narratives of a young child fascinating. the one below i read to the end and found myself looking around, a bit more desperately than i should feel comfortable sharing, for the next page. i was riveted. granted i'm his dad and probably find it all more interesting than you will or think i should but dang, i could read this stuff all day.

when you want it as much as you want air, or sex
i've recently stopped spending money. i have my reasons and they are good ones. and because they are good ones, i may have a prayer at rocking this financial fast.
the first and best thing about making a serious declaration to stop spending money is the liberation that comes with it (
remember this guy
). it frees up like fifteen to forty percent of your mind as you get to simply dismiss all of those little nags that happen through the day in this world of shiny material and digital things, all of which are vying for your attention (and money). now i just get to say "nope, not an option" and move on. as i said, liberating.
marty fluctuates between jubilation and frustration over my new declaration. she's jubilant in that she's been trying to get me to stop mindlessly spending money for better than twenty years. she's frustrated that the answer was as simple as putting the right vision in front of me. i can't be to blame in that though. i've been a vision-centric person since my earliest memory. without an end goal in mind (an end goal i viscerally want), i can't marshall a single neuron to act. i have sixteen years of unimpressive school transcripts to support this trait. a piece of computer generated paper with an A on it held no appeal to me (granted, i lacked the vision of the potential enough of those As held for me and my future-self). but, give me a tantalizing goal on the horizon i would love to possess, and my record, to date, has been perfect.
i heard a talk by a life coach who acutely and succinctly addressed this specific foible. she talked about men who would come to her and say they wanted to get in shape. she would ask them why they wanted to get in shape. they would say so they could be healthy and live longer. she told each and every one of those men she couldn't help them. when they asked why she told them their vision was too soft and she couldn't work with it. she instead needed them to say i want to get healthy so i look hot and girls want to sleep with me. to that response she would say, that i can work with. now let's go get you laid.
it's all about that wanna-have-more-sex kinda drive that makes something happen. and i finally found mine in regard to money.
i hate that shit!
marty, bella and i were walking home. as we were crossing a street bella yelled "SLUG BUG!" and gave me a hard shot in the arm. that side of my body sagged from the unexpected blow (she is not the small and defenseless girl she once was). as i began my whiny "what didya do that for?" the guy inside the vw beetle guffawed and yelled out his passenger window, "Man! I love that shit!". his comment got bella and marty laughing. the humor missed its mark on me and my sagging arm.

perception is overrated. delusion is the way to go.
marty and i went out on a date night. this might be the second one of these we've been on in the last five years. i took her to a new eatery i recently discovered and then we went to see kathleen madigan at one of our cities swankier venues (the peabody). after the show marty and i remained in our chairs as the other patrons streamed out. they seemed as intrigued by us keeping our seats as we were with their immediate need to vacate the premises (and willingness to fight the throngs of people). as we watched the parade before us, marty commented at the age of the crowd in they seemed a lot older than we expected. as we did our accounting marty leaned in adding, "or maybe we look like them and are old too". huh? what? when exactly did that happen?
and, it seems
we are not alone in experiencing this odd phenemenon
reminds me of the beaver.
a few kidisms i've recently enjoyed:
we have some new neighbors. they are very much like marty and i were when we first moved into the community. early thirties. just starting their family. the guy is very young at heart and it is not at all uncommon to find him doing flips on the tramp with the kids or crouched behind a bush set to nerf-ambush someone. the other day he was out watering plants when alex walked by. he snapped the hose in alex's direction sending a quick spray of water over alex. to this alex said, "jeff, you can't spray me. these things i have are highly flammable." the men chuckled at this defense. but the moms took the time to explain the hole in the logic.
then a few days later anthony showed his own verbal creativity when he excitedly described a book he was making at school. he stepped through all the real-book parts it was going to have. a cover. a binding. pictures. and, even, a Table of Contests.

i said
it is easy to wreck a strong exercise regimen with a bad diet.
and, it is impossible to wreck a good diet with a bad exercise regimen.
and in september of 2015 some really
smart people said
The diet vs. exercise debate has been in the spotlight since an editorial in the British Journal of Sports Medicine earlier this year caused a stir with its authors' blunt message: Physical activity does not promote weight loss.
"You cannot outrun a bad diet," they wrote. "Many still wrongly believe that obesity is entirely due to lack of exercise."
those brits should have just called me. i could have saved them oodles of time.
sometimes when your computer gets hacked, it's good
as bella worked her way towards her teens, numerous people warned us of our pending doom, advising us to enjoy our little girl while it lasted. not having navigated the waters yet, marty and i found it hard to make a qualified defense to the assertions. so instead we kept saying and believing that it didn't have to go that way. the other night after reading to the boys for bed, i sat down at my computer to tend to the day's email. filling the screen was an open word document. it read:
Hey dad,
Everyone says that becoming a teenager is hard and that everything will change your relationship with the ones that you love, the amount of sleep that you get, your free time, the things that you're interested in. A lot of these things have begun to change in my life already, but if there's one thing that I want to make sure doesn't change it's the relationship that I have with you, mom, Alex and Anthony. I love each and everyone of you and I've noticed myself becoming more and more distant, you have to. I'm going to do everything that I can to show that I love you and the rest of the family. I just wanted to let you know because I know that you've noticed the changes and I want to make sure that you know that I'm going to try.
So this is my promise that I'm going to do everything that I am capable of to keep my relationship with the people in the family as wonderful as it is right now.
I love you and I'm going to continue loving you until the day that you die (which won't be very long, sadly). I know that in the future we're going to have some big fights and I just want to make sure that if I ever say something or do something that makes it seem like I don't love you, you know that I do love you and will never stop.
Love you, forever and always,
regarding these "inevitable" fights, i believe i have come upon a secret weapon which can mitigate both the frequency and volatility of these altercations. i call it, blandly, the twenty minute rule. the twenty minute rule states that if you ever see a family member, especially a child, coming off the rails you need to evacuate the area, isolating the failing human as quickly as possible for approximately twenty minutes. most typically, once a reaction begins, there's no preventing it. thinking you can steer around it would be like thinking you can stop yourself from projectile vomiting by holding your hand over your mouth. so evacuate the building. don't look the infected human in the eyes. move everyone out of the blast radius and quarantine the affected human so that when they do blow there are no innocents within shrapnel range as this can lead to chain reactions, sometimes bringing a whole home into emotional ruin.
guided meditations often point out that just like with weather, there are always blue skies overhead. it's just that sometimes we can't see them because a cloud front has moved in, blocking the view. the thing that makes the twenty minute rule work is that the systems are always in motion and if unprodded will typically move past just as swiftly as they rolled in. but if they are provoked they will grow in size and temper. give them space, they will move on and before you know it, you'll be looking at blue skies again. this is one of the advantages of an ever-changing universe and understanding that in the time it took you to read this sentence the world about you is forever changed and never to again look the way it did when you read the first word of this sentence. so let it change. embrace the change. and when you see dark skies, seek cover because oftentimes the storm clouds will move out as swiftly as they moved in.
also, i've learned this technique also applies with adult, professional relationships but for reasons both obvious and nuanced, the window is more like 24 hours instead of twenty minutes. the classic example here is not sending that angry email at the peak of your angst, but waiting until the next day, re-reading it, and seeing if you think it would be sensible to send it on. rarely have i looked at that email after a night's sleep and thought, yes, this is the push in the shoulder that's going to make this human act more civily towards me.
here you can see the twenty minute rule taking form several years back
my favorite piano song ever, the waltz of amelie
below is the musical piece i'm trying to learn right now (right now in this case equalling the last year). and no, i don't know how to play the piano. this is the first song i'm learning. presently i'm up to the 45 second mark, but as you'll see that's where things get interesting.
a solid question to start your days with ...
What's the best thing you could be working on, and why aren't you?

backyard thunderdome
multiple people commented on the family pic a few weeks back that showed marty and anthony on the tramp (
). they liked how the poles for the safety enclosure were stacked up on the side of the tramp, precariously close even. one commenter (bookguy, ahem) suggested i situate the poles around the tramp in some sort of mad max like configuration to further incent younglings to not fall over the edge. obviously i would never do this, but i also wouldn't make the suggestion aloud in front of two of my three kids.
summer vacation 2015
we are recently back from a week of tent-camping in northern michigan. i would say where exactly but since i'm pretty sure we will return, i'm not looking for any more competition for campsites, so the specific place we like shall go nameless. some highlights of the week though:
i slept outdoors in a hammock all week. our location was remote enough the sky was fully peppered with stars--so much so that you could make out the hazy stripe of the milky way. the scene was so rich that i kept my glasses in a little pocket connected to the hammock so when i stirred in the night, instead of going right back to sleep, i would fumble around for my glasses, put them on and take a few minutes to take in the sky through the gaps in the trees above me. i had to do this odd ritual because i went to bed before the sky was in full bloom.
i began every day, save one, with a 30-40 mile bike ride through rolling michigan hills.
i concluded several of the afternoons with a multi-mile paddle board adventure along the coastline.
i didn't shower for 8 days.
i swam with olympian-speed (for me) to save anthony (8) who got caught up in a riptide. *
via yelp, we once again discovered an eatery the whole family enjoyed so much, we are tempted to make a weekend trek back up there just to enjoy it again.
on the way home we intended to stop for a hotel but after running into (a) very few hotels, and (b) no hotels with vacancies, we ended up driving straight through. when the day began i expected to be asleep by midnight or one at the latest. when i finally laid my head down on my own pillow on my own bed, i glanced at my watch--it read 6:00am precisely.
* regarding the riptide event. we were on a strip of beach where a large lake and a small lake were separated by about forty feet of sand. a little kid, around four, and his father dug a small trench between the two so the boy could float his boat through the channel. four hours after they connected the two bodies of water the trench had grown to be forty feet wide and possessed a waist deep (for me) current that was hard to stand against as the water from the smaller lake was pulled into the larger body--creating an instant riptide of sorts. as the channel and the current grew larger (as it was continually eroding the fragile sandy banks) so did its reach or push out into the larger lake. of course this new feature proved to be huge fun for the kids playing on the beach as they rode the waves on boogie boards or just simply threw their bodies into the strong current to be rolled along. for the several hours this went on i stood sentry at the bank, twice having to step in and grab kids who were having problems in the waters. the six kids with us (my kids plus three from a family we were traveling with) were having so much fun i offered to hang back while the other adults headed back to camp to get dinner going. i figured this would give them another hour or two of play in this unique water feature.
once the time had passed and we needed to head back to camp ourselves, i called the kids over to help collect our gear. just as i thought we were ready to go one of the young boys who was playing in the water came up behind me saying "mister! mister!" when i turned he pointed out into the water, past where our riptide's sharp current ended. bobbing in the water i saw anthony (8), a single arm waving in the air. i dropped what i had and sprinted into the shallows and once it was knee deep dove and began swimming towards him. i didn't do my usual freestyle technique which would have allowed me to swim faster because intuition told me to watch where he was positioned should he go under the water. sadly this change in form did not make me swim faster. when i arrived to him i saw he was clutching onto a kick board (thank god) but panic set in when i turned to the shore to see how far out we were and realizing how fatigued i was in getting to him. just before the panic took full root a voice behind me said, "would you fellas like a lift".
i spun further to see a man kneeling on a long paddle board. i had spoken with the man and his wife hours earlier, initially about their paddle boards but also about the area and such. he had been resting on the beach with his wife when the boy had pointed to a wayward anthony. alert and astute he followed me out to anthony and thank god he had because when i looked at how far we were out i was not confident about getting not only me but me and anthony back to shore. so i need to thank that three dollar kick board that allowed anthony to stay above water until i got to him and dan, the wildly calm and cool (and ripped) middle school history teacher and track coach from kalamazoo who definitely saved the chili of both anthony and i on that day. thank you dan.

dream fail
the scene looks like many american backyards on the weekend, with a dad doing lawn work. the predictable part of the picture is interrupted by a second story window being cast open and a partially eaten apple being chucked from it. the father watches the apple, land, roll, and then stop in his freshly manicured lawn. later when the father polls his children about the apple, the eight year old boy confesses to being the thrower. when challenged about his choices. he said mom told him to do it, or admittedly, said he could do it. to the question of why his mother would tell him to do it he said, so they could see what would happen, but only after guessing (or hypothesizing--science teacher and all) what would happen to the apple in the days ahead. and now they were testing their guesses (or hypotheses).
i wonder if any of them hypothesized that their father would come chirp at them about chucking fruit out of second story windows.

what are you, a comedian?
a new GALLERY IMAGE was posted today.
aleo and i have been playing some video games together. much of this time, especially in the early going involves him getting me functional. occasionally his use of language is the greatest. two examples that stand out are:
1. i was complaining about my joystick. he asked to see it. he moved around a bit and then said, "yeah, your joystick seems to be a little cockier than mine. we can trade if you'd like." i said i'd rather not, because i for sure thought the cockier controller would pay off in the long run (this has not yet come to pass).
2. then we were playing something else on the computer and i was complaining about the mouse being extra twitchy. again, he asked me to see it, opened up a control panel or two, moved some dials and then told me to try again. in explanation he said his friend maria was over playing with him and he had to turn the "sensibility" up for her. knowing maria as i do, i'd second aleo's suggested course.
and let's get past the point where i come off as a over-delicate fool that just complains when things aren't exactly to my liking. it's not like this is getting exponentially worse with each year that passes. i can't help if i'm a touch cocky and high on sensibility.
Padawan seeks master
the question on my mind as of late has been about mentoring and namely about why it seems so challenging for middle-aged guys to find and nurture mentoring relationships with our elders. i mean there are plenty of older men out there. and many of them are certainly accomplished enough. hell, simply by being older, even if you squandered the lion-share of your years in an armchair watching crappy, or even good, television, you're bound to have observed a meaningful thing or two, even if by accident, in your multiple decades of life.
so, these days, when i meet a person around my age i ask them about any older mentors they have and how they came to have them—you know, just the normal backyard party small talk. i posed my question to a neighbor who is a surgeon. through our talks we discovered how similar developing young talent is in both technology and medicine. he was experiencing some difficulties with a new, super-bright doctor his practice had brought on. when he asked one of the senior partners about it, the older doc pithily said with a hint of knowing sympathy in his voice:
good decisions come from experience and experience comes from bad decisions.
and that was all he had to say on the matter. in reflecting on the brief response, i'd conclude, that might be all that needs be said on the matter. while there are many challenges in aging, having a better grasp on the why's and how's of life certainly goes a long way in making those physical deficencies sting a little less.
new favorite
here's my new favorite all-time, acapella song.
when i first played it for bella, i blindfolded her and sat her in my office chair facing my stereo speakers and then blasted the song irresponsibly loud. something about that focused listening enriches the experience.
sorry, it's my brothel on the line
marty was driving home from georgia after a week away with the kids. i was in a meeting in my office. in the middle of a sentence my phone, which was sitting the desk between the man i was meeting with and me, began to ring. in the seven years i've had my phone this might be the eleventh time it rang as no one really had my number and those that did knew using it was about as effective as screaming my name out their front door. surprised to see it come to life, i glanced down at the screen. it read: SEX GODDESS. i swung my eyes to the man on the other side of the desk to see if he noticed the caller. he had not. i said i had to take it and answered the phone and heard:
hi troy. it's marty. we got a flat. everyone is ok, but we're stalled out here and i wanted to let you know.
i later told the guy what happened and was relieved at the time that he didn't see it. he said if he did see it and i wasn't going to answer it, he surely would have.
magical meadow
bella and i were on an evening bike outing. in the summer she has taken to riding later in the day, some rides lasting well past sundown. while many parents and riders would balk at these post-sunlight rides, bella landed the right riding partner because for twenty years i did all my distance cycling between 10pm and 2am for a number of reasons i won't get into here/now.
on this night, we wended our way through our typical route. as we rounded a gentle bend with high brush on either side, we came upon a broad meadow that, at this particular moment, had thousands, and i do mean thousands, of fireflies dotting the landscape. the vision fully took our breath away as we rolled through a scene straight out of a Miyazaki film. as far as you could see in either direction small dots of light silently winked on and off in the dark.
it wasn't until we cleared the meadow that bella turned her head to me, mouth agape. she didn't even say anything—she just had a look of amazement on her face. i shook my head in agreement. the next time we stopped a few miles later, before the bikes had even stopped rolling, bella was commenting.
did you see that?
yeah that was really something.
have you ever seen anything like that?
we shouldn't tell anybody about it. just keep it as our secret. and only show it to people we really love.
we fist-bumped the deal. so if you ever want bella and/or i to take you to firefly meadow, you're gonna need to amp up the charm, like a lot.
uncertainty settled
i was making some new benches for our front porch (in part due to a new, totally sweet, dowling jig i recently bought). i was modeling them after a bench i made several years ago. between my superior skills (compared to several years back) and improved tools (uhhh, dowling jig), i considered upgrading to a higher grade of of wood. the problem point here is that it would add a fair bit of cost to the project so i wanted to make sure i could pull the benches off without any issues.
while getting things organized, i stepped out to the porch to take measurements on my existing bench. while crouched down and measuring the various parts and pieces, i noticed how the top slabs of wood, where you sit, had deep divots and mars in them from the kids various projects. the most damning of the marks came from our meat tenderizer hammer where, i recalled this day specifically, the kids went through a multi-day period of busting open acorns for sport using the medieval looking meat hammer as the pounder and my hand-made bench as the worktop. i imagined my reaction to them doing this, or any other number of their child-divined games, on high-dollar pieces of lumber versus the simple treated wood i've historically used.
then, from my crouched position, i recalled one of the first and most meaningful parental lessons i ever learned: you can love your things or you can love your children, but you can't love both.
after completing my notes, i, with nary a reservation, went and bought my low-grade planks of wood.

Remember Me
She'll perform Saturday night just before The Killers. M.I.A.'s two previous Coachella appearances featured electrifying sets that drew huge crowds. This year, the Oscar and Grammy-nominated artist joins a lineup that includes Paul McCartney, The Cure, Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand, My Bloody Valentine, Leonard Cohen, The Chemical Brothers, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, Thievery Corporation, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Devendra Banhart and more than 125 acts for the annual festival, set for April 17-19 in Indio, CA.
She offers us some new moves for the dancing days ahead in this wacked clip.
And now more sounds to jump around to…
I knew roo wasnt her last performance - she loves us too much. Still not goin to Coachella.
guess she won't be M.I.A. that night BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAH. get it?... her names m.i.a. but she wont be missing in action... no? ok.
i am SO going now!!!
woopti fuckin doo jambase....jesus christ who fucking posted this article they should be fired
^ouch that hurts coming from the new brah with the sweet pic guzzlin' brews :-p (and i'm not even a fan of this music)
haha, forreal bk67
I'm not a huge fan of her stuff, and I thought her "bow out" was super lame ("...spending it with my hippies!"), but it's catchy, and she's obviously super-hot -- although I'll take this opportunity to say: way less stunning when she's not all done-up (in the gym/dance video -- wtf was that??)
^haha yeah she only looked like an average hot girl in that one.. wtf
Wow, what a horrible lineup.
guzzling brews lol
crunchy jams brah. im noodlein so hard braaahh guzzlin beers.
MIA? Coachella? who cares?
I heaar shes the defanition of cool...
not heading to coachella ,myself, but MIA is pretty tits, just so the haters no they are wrong. i guess they dont like to dance.
theres no need to hate on this shit.
but theres also no need to read about this shit.
obviously jambase is branchin out and trying to expand to all music so i guess just let them experiment and eventually theyll realize wats real and wise up
Wow another band I don't care about
I was kind of forced by tired legs & anticipation to listen to her set on the opposite stage @ Voodoo while waiting for Rage to come on, and I thought it was just bad. She was more like a cheerleader or hypewoman than a musician, maybe you could call it a "act" ?
I wish MIA really was M.I.A.!
Paper Planes - Song of the Year -2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009.... Please!
She needs to fly away like a damn paper plane!
M.I.A. was a joke at Bonnaroo. She pulled a mini-kanye, coming onstage late. Does anyone really care about this chick?
Regardless what yall say.. M.I.A. is a ton of fun. Get over it.
M.I.A brings the old school hip hop fun, And she's fucking hottttt
Travelin "lite" 72...wow thats pretty crafty how you spelled lite like the beer brah! You are the exact reason this site gets blown up with morons. Douche bag. PS MIA fucking rules!
Um... as soon as she blew up on the scene, they started playing paper planes on the radio and MTV on repeat all day. Got really lame after that. I also don't think she's "super hot". A good-looking british lady... sure. Super Hot? Nah Brahs!!! she's hot-lite. Also, i hate to do this, but travelinglite72... you joined this site on March 8th. March 8th? What, were you "schwilling" lite beers and some kid you made fun of said you could DL a show by this band called Phish, and now you want to play like your a head. Why don't you travel the fuck out of here. It's people like who are the reason this scene is crumbling and our lotteries are being fucked. Go drink yourself into a coma and leave the "saucy grooves" to people who actually give a shit and will remember shows. Sorry about the hate, I just can't handle douschs like this especially while these ticketing fiascos are running rampant. SUMMER 09... twill be unbelievable.
MIA.....cannot say im familiar. i guess thats what you get living in the sticks of oregon. but hey, i havent been on Jambase for a decade or nothing, and i dont think that makes me any less credible, but that picture of TravelinLite is just asking for it. check out me poundin' one brah! No but honestly, i must understand this MIA character.
for all you noobies out there unfamiliar with jambase...broseph...the newswire doesnt credit any jambase reporter...it is just that; a news wire.
She is so hot, she could gangsta beat me all night...
the sad thing about this is that i read it on perez hilton about a week and a half ago........sad jambase

Welcome to our Injection Molding Website! Here you find information about injection processes, molding techniques, and specialized methods, so that you keep yourself informed with the latest trends and technology.
Plastic injection moulding is by far the most popular method to manufacture plastic parts in the world today. This process is used for everything from inexpensive commercial products, like disposable eating utensils, toys to severe environment, highly stressed technical components, like critical parts for automotive and aerospace industries. You'll find extensive use of injection molded plastic parts in electronics world for things like enclosures for cell phones, computers, televisions and the like, as well as in the medical world where things like syringe bodies, breathing apparatus and a wide range of other life-saving devices are employed. No other process has come to dominate modern manufacturing as injection plastic molding, and its use increases every year. Recently, critical steering components for General Motors cars and trucks were changed from stamped and machined steel parts to an injection molded assembly resulting in a lighter part, at lower cost, quieter, and more reliable.
Injection molding is the process of heating thermoplastic resin to a liquid then shooting it under high pressure into a mold cavity that is the negative image of the desired part, allowing it to freeze, then opening the mold to allow the completed part to be ejected. In most cases features can be built into the mold cavity to give the part everything it will need when finished, so that no other operations are needed once the part comes out of the mold. Textures, or high polishes, markings, screw holes, lens shapes, and any other features needed in the finished part can be built into the mold so the finished part automatically has these features incorporated.
The beauty of plastic molding is that many parts, even millions, can be made in exactly the same way and will come out the same no matter what. Each piece will have the identical features, dimensions, and physical properties. It is the ideal way to make high volumes because of this consistency. Properly maintained, injection mold tools can last decades making millions of parts per year. Properly set-up and controlled, the 20 millionth part will be identical to the first part in every measurable way. No other manufacturing process has the potential to operate at this consistency.
Multiple cavities of each part can be built to the injection molding tool, so that each time the mold opens, you make 8 or 16 or some other multiple of parts for each cycle of the injection moulding machine to really increase the production rate and greatly decrease the cost of making a part. In some cases several different parts, for instance a right and left hand version of an enclosure can be made in a single tool as well to reduce the number of machine cycles required to make multiple parts of an assembly, increasing production and lowering the cost. Injection moulding also offers flexibility not possible with any of the other manufacturing processes.
Injection molding also offers one of the lowest scrap rates of any other manufacturing processes as well. Since no second operations are generally required, no material is cut off and thrown away. It is possible to use a special technique to completely eliminate even the small pathways the plastic flows through to cut the material scrap rate to virtually zero, or often, any plastic removed in the process can be reused by pelletizing it and mixing it back into the fresh plastic resin in closely controlled proportions. These capabilities mean a higher percentage of the raw material becomes part of the finished part than in any other process. Injection plastic molding is highly efficient.
We are a world class injection moulding & mold supplier with the capability to design and build inexpensive and efficient molds to produce your parts, and the modern efficient machinery to mold your parts efficiently, accurately and inexpensively. Quality is a hallmark of our operation, with a world-class ISO-9000 quality system in-place to utilize the latest statistical process control methods to ensure our production meets your requirements – every part!
We are proud of our reputation gained over more than two decades supplying injection molded parts to customers in Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, China, Singapore, Malaysia and other major industrial nations. You would recognize our customer list as high-quality suppliers in their fields. So far, our reputation as being an on-time reliable, quality and cost effective supplier has been growing, mostly by word of mouth. Our passion for injection molding shows in our products and in the way we care for our customers.
As you can tell from our extensive website information, our goal is to keep you informed on many of the different injection molding processes, techniques, and specialized methods, so that you can make the most informed decisions about which method is best for your product. Don't let a limited capability supplier steer you into using a method just because that's all he has the equipment and know-how to do. Instead look through all the possibilities so you can make a decision based on your parts, your production and your quality needs. The more you know, the better your decisions will be. If we can help, just let us know.

Joss Stone Girlfriend On Demand Lyrics
Last updated: 06/20/2012 11:00:00 AM
Sponsored LinksIn the beginning
You came on so strong
You were polite
And full of charm
You got what you wanted
Then it wasn't very long
Before you dropped the act
And hot became lukewarm
You can tell everybody
That we're just foolin' around
But, baby, don't fool yourself
I know what's going down
If you won't hold my hand
How can you call yourself my man?
If I, if I can't meet your friends
And your family, how can I be
Your girlfriend on demand?
If you won't hold my hand
Give me one good reason
I should sit around and wait
If you control my destiny
How can I trust in fate?
Go ahead, take your time
I want you to be free
But I won't stay here by your side
While you're denying me
If you won't hold my hand
How can you call yourself my man?
And you, see you don't understand
What this does to me, how it feels to be
Your girlfriend on demand
When you won't hold my hand
You whisper that you love me
But you won't say it out loud
You act like you're ashamed to be with me
I want a man who's proud
Tell me to my face I'm not good enough
What could you possibly be thinking of?
Why won't you look me in the eyes
When we're making love?
If you won't hold my hand
Then how can you call yourself my man?
And you, you don't understand
What it does to me, how it feels to be
Your girlfriend on demand
If you won't hold my, hold my hand
Hold my hand
It's all I'm asking, baby
To hold my hand

What are Emergent
Church leaders teaching that has so many of our
current generation tuned in to their 'doctrine',
but tuned out to Holy Scripture? How have Emergent
leaders captured the hearts and minds of
unsuspecting people all over the world, departing
from many of the clear teachings, commandments and
warnings found in the pages of the Bible?
Emergent Churches often place a high value on good
works and social activism. Many call for
diversity, tolerance and camaraderie among all
religions and lifestyles as they modify and expand
their teachings based on pop culture and social
issues. Much of its doctrine rejects systematic
Christian theology, the authority of Scripture and
gospel exclusivity. Various strands of
Universalism have also been subtly introduced,
completely denying Jesus' own words and warnings.
There is often an emphasis on 'here and now'
theology rather than an eternal reality as set
forth in scripture. Emergent leaders have also
opened the door to the New Age and Occult,
teaching the practice of contemplative, monastic,
meditative prayers and mantras, even partnering
with New Age mystics, authors and teachers.
Includes a bonus DVD 'THE EMERGENT CHURCH AND THE
BONO-SCREWTAPE CONNECTION'. Many Emergents view
Bono of the popular rock band U2 as their
"prophet" and main icon in the Emergent Church
movement. Learn why truth is sometimes stranger
than fiction as we reveal the shocking truth
behind what inspires this Emergent rocker.
Almost four hours of total material - Leaders

Rob Bell, Doug Pagitt, Tony Jones, Bono and
How should a believer react to these emerging technologies? We are entering into the Hybrid Age. This drive has become a Divinity Cult, using science to become gods.
Speakers include Dr. Chuck Missler, Dr. Thomas Horn, and Joe Farah.
You see, Aliens are part of
the plan to stage Antichrist on the world scene. Aliens will help
deceive mankind into thinking the Man of Sin is a god and must be
worshiped and obeyed. Aliens will usher in the darkest prophetic time
in all of man's history.
Crone reveals the demonic agenda behind
the intensive propaganda effort toward extra-terrestrial beings. Pastor
Crone will take you on a study of UFO's and Aliens appearing throughout
world history, a study you will find enlightening.
Finally, Pastor
reveals that Aliens act like demons, lie like demons and have the
powers of demons. This study will begin toward the end of Volume 1 and
finish in Volume 2
3-DVD Collection comprising of five sessions.
UFOs are not going away! They are being
reported to the tune of 2000 sightings per month, and that only
represents the ones that are reported. At some point, there will be a
revealing of the so-called extraterrestrial presence. Perhaps by the
President of the United States.
investigate the phenomena from all
angles. We talk to the some of the worlds leading experts on the
subject, many of whom embrace a different paradigm and world view than
our own.
Former Canadian Defense Minister, Paul Hellyer, who
stated at the Citizens Hearing for Disclosure in Washington DC, a few
months ago: 'UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying overhead'.
UFO's and aliens are part of the scripted agenda to produce
Antichrist; the very fact that their reporting is so dramatically
increased can only mean that the appearance of Antichrist is very,
very close.
We also interview
Capt. Robert Salas, former commander of a
ballistic missile base where they had an
unidentified craft hover over the base and
deactivate all ten missiles. This happened in
1967. Oddly, a companion base had the same thing
happen to them a few minutes later, the blast
doors on the missile silos were simply lifted off
and set on the ground. These doors weigh 20 tons
each. Could we be seeing a big clue on how the
ancients built their mysterious cities using
megalithic stone structures?
continues with the unwrapping of a baby mummy
skull in Paracas Peru, and what we find shocked
all of us.

FWIW and hoping not to sound as if I'm bragging, but I have had photographs, traditional illustrations (pen with ink) and computer generated graphic art appear in or on hundreds of newspapers, dozen's of magazines, product packaging, catalogues and countless brochures, reports, newsletters and other business documents of all sorts.
I have been written -up in the local rags (Free Press and Det. News) once, but never anything significant.
Most of my 'published' work has been commercial and has been not so glamorous or prestigious, but thoroughly enjoyable.

Jump in and take command in a fight that spans six exotic worlds with diverse environments - from steaming, swampy jungles crawling with deadly creatures to rocky wastelands strewn with boiling lava pits to ruined cities half-buried in nuclear snow. Players start by building a base from which they command a force of armored vehicles, infantry, and aircraft through a series of exploratory, offensive and defensive missions. Gamers will drive a variety of tanks and walkers, pilot the scout ships, and even jump out and fight an evil and challenging alien enemy on foot. Each side will choose from an arsenal of powerful weapons including guided missiles, mortars, mines and bazookas. This revolutionary game is the sequel to 1998's Action Game of the Year (Computer Gaming World).
Complete Control Over the Battlefield - Command over 30 unique types of troops , including tanks, infantry, air support and mobile assault turrets. Finely tuned interface and gameplay improvements -- including all-new squad commands -- allow you to more intuitively manage resources, execute full-scale attacks and identify strategic locations without missing a second of the hard-driving action.
Advanced AI - Units learn and gain experience as they kill enemies -- new units fight like raw recruits while experienced units will save you in tight situations. Intelligent AI allows enemies and friends to strafe, choose the right weapon for the current situation, retrieve ammo and health in combat, and even run away.
Explore a Fully Interactive "Living" World - Interact with the planets' freely roaming wildlife thanks to an enhanced graphics system. Sophisticated physics models support a whole new range of tracked, hovering, and walking, in addition to realistic environmental effects.
Amazing Graphics - Taking full advantage of the Intel Pentium III processor and 3D hardware enhancements, the unparalleled graphics of Battlezone II bring new worlds to life with fully explorable environments, incredibly fast frame-rates and stunning custom 3D effects; including multiple lens flairs, specular lighting, water ripple effects, localized ground fog, and volumetric lighting.
Tackle Full-Scale 3D Action - Lose your vehicle in the heat of battle, bail out, parachute to safety, and call for someone to pick you up. Customize or switch vehicles right on the battlefield, all while wielding over 25 deadly weapons, including guided missiles, mortars and mines.
Advanced Multiplayer Options - In addition to the original Battlezone's highly successful deathmatch (shooter-style) and strategy (RTS-style) multiplayer game modes, Battlezone II introduces new team play. Different people can have different roles - builder, defenders, attackers - and communicate with each other quickly and easily through the integrated command interface. New "lock step" anti-cheat measures have also been added to ensure the integrity of the game.
QF: (working title) will continue where QF2 left off.
As Rachel would say: "You think that you can wipe out an entire civilisation without consequences?"

:( its a shame this game is no longer being sold but i do have the disk still *dispite its been totally scrashed beyond repair* so ima see if i can revive that and try it, then the mods people made it ^^.
lol my disc is still perfect
Battlezone II is quite easily one of the greatest games ever made, timeless in it's perfection I've yet to see another game with the sheer longevity and replayability of BZII, this isn't a game it's a highly addictive narcotic .
i loved this game....this reminds me of my younger days of video gaming... i loved the fps/rts style
thank your for mod
i'd rather play this game than halo, well, 9 times out of 10 anyway
ive been loving this game since i was like 8 and i dont think that'll ever change.\
oms 1n3flip i cant believe u using the cs pro mod tag that mod sucks 4$$
This game owns. I have a ton of friend who only play the latest games but I can easily get them into a LAN match of BZII
I loved this game
lol no $h!t im so tierd of olny see'ing BattleZone2 there. maby i should just make a small mod to ge it started.
haha yes
Highest Rated (3 agree) 10/10
Incredible game, and a worthy thought... possibly confusing, sequel to the original Battlezone released the later 90's, which made ground breaking innovations in the world of gaming, getting near perfect scores in every gaming magazine it was featured in. Still one of the best games ever made. BZII is a little different and a little more modern, with a story that can go in two different directions, and a community that still thrives and is still making patches for the game. The game it self though…

Indeed… McCoy is right for the wrong reasons. We SHOULD be focusing on the guns instead of the flag. The flag is a big distraction from talking about gun violence in this country.
No one will read this far down into the comments but:
If corporations would actually pay a living wage, perhaps more people would not need government assistance to get by. WalMart pays so many of its employees a wage low enough that these hard workers qualify for food stamps & public housing that these services amount to a government subsidy of WalMart's large profit margins.
If you're angry that your tax dollars go to food stamps for the working poor, then why aren't you angry that your tax dollars go into WalMart's sizeable profits?
Here's my question: If a deflated game ball makes it easier to throw and to catch and to grip, doesn't that equally benefit BOTH teams in a game?

@coraryan… Weather is not climate. Predicting changes in the climate is not the same as saying what the weather will be like on February 15th, 2035. What we know is that the global average temperature is rising, and has been for decades, correspondent with the increasing concentration of CO2 in our atmosphere with the rise of industrialization. What we can model and estimate is what that temperature rise will result in after twenty years. And, yes, weather is less predictable. Thus with rising global average temperatures, the east coast has been having crippling winter cold the past couple years. Extreme weather of all sorts is to be expected, but as the temperature rises, and the sea temperatures rise, in particular, we can expect the climate to become further unstable. Some regions will become less habitable. Some might, surprisingly, become more habitable. What is certain is change, and that change is happening on a time scale far shorter, far faster than any significant climate change that we can discern prior to the industrial revolution.
Great how McCoy loves to bash France and everything French (even depicting Obama as French in one cartoon), but now, suddenly, France is the bastion of freedom loving peoples… which is it?

Drink a cup of warm/cold water with a little bit of fresh squeezed lemon juice and it curves your hunger pangs. I think that the lemon tricks your stomach so it think that it has eaten and will hold keep you satisfied until your next meal.
add lemon and cranberry juice in the water u drink and it will help u to clean the liver then all organs working better9
4If I know in the morning that I am going out for dinner I will monitor my breakfast and lunch food intake. And I will drink water before I go.
When out & about, it's hard to take actual lemon juice with you to flavor water. TrueLemon packets are crystallized lemon juice and are individual-portion-sized. Just dump 1/2-1 packet in your water & you've got lemon water. Usually find it in juice aisle next to lemon juice. Helps when not near a water filter. 194

"Ignore the Highlands and Islands for once and explore Dumfries and Galloway in the south west instead. The weather is better, the Solway coast has lots of secluded bays, there are dozens of castles such as Threave and Caerlaverock, and as the region has few main roads, it is much quieter."

"Perfect Weekend!"
5 miles south of Dumfries,7 miles north of Dalbeattie, about 10 miles from Southerness. What can't you find? There's supermarkets, small shops, town, countryside, Forrest walks and beautiful beaches. Heron Lodge was in a great position for all of this and it was clean, comfortable, well equipped and a good size for myself, Hubby, 15 year old Son & two dogs. All this and perfect weather,
Thank you so much for your review of Heron Lodge and glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. Heron Lodge is indeed a great base in which to explore the area of Dumfries and Galloway. There is so much to see and do around the surrounding countryside or take the coastal routes to find more great walks and beaches. I do hope you return to stay again soon @ Heron Lodge. Louise Heron Lodge Owner
