Here in Finland we really need this vitamin. This is a good tasting chewable vitamin D. Kids like this and adults too. I highly recommend this Now Foods 1000 IU Vitamin D (suomeksi tämän vahvuus on 25 mikrog). Suosittelen tätä tuotetta kaikille suomalaisille, erityisesti lapsille. Hyvän makuinen tabletti, jota ei tarvitse pureskella kauaa vaan liukenee nopeasti.

LO absolutely hates diaper changes. She refuses to lie on her back. As soon as I put her down she immediately flips over. I just do it as quickly as possible. She hates getting her PJs put on too and screams through the whole thing trying to flip herself to her tummy. Diapers changes are difficult with her not on her back, but putting on jammies without her on her back is pretty much impossible. I have to hold her down and she screams through the whole thing. She's always been a pretty bad sleeper. She recently started sleeping a little better, although still not great, and I'm wondering if it's because she can easily flip to her tummy now. She sleeps on her tummy; I always put her on her back, but she immediately flips over to her tummy. Does this sound like reflux? She doesn't spit up at all, but I've heard there can be silent reflux. I asked our pedi and he said he didn't think so because usually you would see other symptoms like fussing when eating, etc. (she is BF). Thanks for any advice.
Could this be reflux? Diaper changes are becoming impossible
Littlelace: do you give your baby medicine? Does she have other reflux symptoms?
Yeah, I thought it was just that she is so active. She loves to be on the move. If I put her down, she'll roll across the whole room in a matter of seconds. She's not quite crawling yet, but if she sees something she wants, she'll scoot forward on hands and knees very quickly. So, I thought she was just active. But I just started to wonder if something is wrong that she's like almost hysterical to lie on her back to have her clothes or diaper changed. It's not all the time -- seems worse when she is overtired, hungry, etc. But it's often enough that I'm just starting to wonder....
I do give her special toys, but it only distracts her for about 20 seconds at best and sometimes she refuses them altogether. A miror on the ceiling is an interesting idea.

She is dead serious about this wedding
Tired of all that joy and happiness at the thought of future nuptials? Pure white is just not appropriate for the undead-even on her wedding day. Weddings are serious business, and the Coffin Bride Adult Plus Costume shows just how serious you take this commitment. Just because you are dead doesn't mean you can't dress for the occasion. Even a corpse bride needs a little ruffles in her life! Corset tie and ruffle underskirt add a touch of flirtiness and the tattered details on the skirt, sleeves and veil suit the gloom of an undead bride. Just because you're a corpse bride doesn't mean it all has to be gloom and doom, however. You may prefer waxy candles and torchlight, but you can still embrace the spirit of love. Why not give the guests a special treat at the reception? Brains are all the rage with the undead-set these days and you don't want to miss a trend!
- Includes: The Coffin Bride costume includes a black satin dress with a lace-up corset bodice, coffin lining inset and tattered details.

I never realized going into the construction trades would be such an exciting journey. Of course, growing up in a family where my Dad was a carpenter and my uncles were all in home construction or home building and renovation probably set the stage for me. Early Saturday mornings often meant I was awakened and asked if I wanted to come help. I always looked forward to it. Usually Dad already had breakfast cooked and the truck loaded with all the tools we needed. I jumped out of bed, washed up and ate and off we would go for a new adventure.
My first recollections are of helping by going out to the truck every time a tool or some supplies were needed. I quickly learned the names of everything. Hammers, nails, wrenches, saws and so forth are pretty common but then there are also framing hammers versus finishing hammers, circular saw versus reciprocating saw, and so forth. It didn't take long though, before I was quite well-versed on almost any tool name used in a wide variety of construction trades for home building or commercial construction.
When you have the right tool for the right job, it makes the whole process go a lot smoother. For someone just starting out in the building industry, it may be helpful to have a list of tools to get you started. Of course as you go along, you can add tools you need or that are specific to whichever building trade you want to specialize in. More on the different types of trades will be described later.
Basic Construction Tool List
Some of the tools you use the most often should be a regular part of your toolbox. Others can be rented from your local rental yard or tool rental supply store. Here is the list to begin with:
• Tool belt to hang around your waist and carry the small things with you
• 2 measuring tapes, one 30 foot tape and one 100 foot tape for bigger jobs
• A speed square and a framing square
• Lots of carpentry pencils and an effective sharpening method
• Carpentry crayons
• Framing and finishing hammer and possibly a sledge hammer
• A nice utility knife and good supply of blades
• Retractable chalk line, which can be used for many carpentry applications
• Linesman pliers and a selection of needle nose pliers and a variety of other sizes
• Torpedo level, 2 foot level, six foot level
• A cordless drill or cordless driver and reliable rechargeable battery packs
• Corded circular saw and/or cordless circular saw, plunge router, straight router, reciprocating saw and jig saw
• A portable table saw that can handle big or small cutting projects and a sliding compound miter saw
• An air compressor of appropriate size
• Framing nail gun with the multi nail size capacity
• Hand saw, finishing angled nail gun, hand saw and block plane
• Plumb bob, flat pry bar, chisel, and nail puller
• Sets of nails and screws
• A variety of different clamps such as pipe clamps, c-clamps and bar clamps
• Orbital sander and belt sander
• Screwdriver sets, socket wrench sets, wrenches, rakes, pick axe, air hose
Some of the building trades or construction trades you can choose from are as follows:
Plumber – A tradesman who does plumbing would be working to install piping systems in residential houses, maintaining pipes in commercial buildings or repairing plumbing systems in industrial buildings. This could include wastewater disposal, water distribution, gas pipefitting, irrigation systems and so forth. Licensed plumbers are certified gas fitters as well. They can install sewage systems, water treatment solutions, compressed air or for hospitals, medical gas systems. There will be plumbing fixtures to put in or remove, testing water or sewage pipes for leaks, interpreting plumbing blueprints and construction designs, and being aware of plumbing safety procedures. Residential plumbing repairs in Lethbridge may use computer-controlled devices and plumbing software on the job. They may be standing a lot of the time and need to be in good physical shape. They also need to be strong enough to carry large plumber's tools and machinery.
Painters – A construction painter or residential home painter will do many of the same things. They will be applying paint, stain and wall coatings to the inside of walls, outside of buildings and many more applications. It's important to cover the items in the room for protection so paint splatters don't fall on the floor, carpet, tile, linoleum or stone floor. Drop-cloths, tarps and plastic sheets work well for this. When painting door jams, remove doors, electric switch covers, door knobs or anything else that might get in the way. The painter may need scaffolding and ladders to reach high places. Holes should be filled with plaster, caulk or other appropriate compounds, dried and sanded down before applying the topcoat of paint. There may be calculations made for the area to be painted and to determine how many gallons of paint to purchase for the job. Primers and sealers help the paint adhere to the surface. Paint and stain colors can be mixed or ordered in advance. Paint application requires brushes, rollers, sprayers and other finishing tools.
Plumbing repairs are important to have done as soon as there seems to be a problem. Otherwise the situation can become a bigger and more costly problem to fix. It's important to be able to hire an established and professional plumbing company such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pRjA_eUIks. For plumbing repairs Lethbridge, if you're not sure what certifications or regulations are required for plumbers, kindly visit the government website at http://www.mca-ab.com/.
HVAC Installation – heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are called HVAC for short. These workers repair, install, maintain and replace hvac systems in homes and businesses. This is the way to make people feel comfortable because it controls cool, warmth and humidity. The worker may have a secondary degree obtained from a community college or trade school. These programs include air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration. There are also certificates available and licensing is required in some locations. They may work directly for residential homeowners or do industrial HVAC installation. Lifting heavy equipment and being good at time management are essential skills in this home building trade.
What does someone in the HVAC trade do in particular? Besides repairing or installing the heating or AC units, they may have to do some trouble shooting with humidity control, AC settings, and so on. They may be involved in the refrigeration industry. They work on maintaining the indoor air quality of a building, including schools, offices, hospitals, factories, apartment buildings, recreational facilities and many others.
To work in a bigger city in Southern Alberta such as Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge or Medicine Hat, an HVAC service technician would be expected to have a certain amount of their own tools and supplies. It does depend on what type of company hires you, but having some of your own tools is definitely an assett.
Some of the tools used by the best HVAC service in Lethbridge include:
- right and left-handed snips
- straight and off-set snips
- tinner's hammer
- hand crimpers
- hand seamers or seaming tongs
- hand notchers
- offset duct stretcher
- snap lock punch
- a variety of lengths of hand folding tools
- duct puller
- combo drive tool
- electrical testing meters
- digital voltmeter
- duct knife
- strap gun
It does require a small investment to get started in this industry. However, it's worth the initial cost, which will pay for itself in a short amount of time.
Bricklayers and Stone Masons – A brick layer may be creating chimneys, walls, structures, foundations or walkways. He may be making brick fences or working on industrial brick projects. Usually he works with a construction team but not always. It used to be there was only concrete cinder blocks or traditional bricks but now there are diverse materials to work with such as chunks of marble, structural tiles, terracotta blocks and much more. Some blocks or bricks are also made of gypsum, glass or other building materials. Mortar is the most common substance used to bind together pieces of brickwork. It must be the correct viscosity in order to properly stick the stones together. Needing expert assistance? Talk to the professionals at http://www.manufactorydirectstone.com/.
A masonry contractor is usually the supervisor for the project. Stone work may take place around the property or as a covering on the outside of the house. There is a lot of measuring and marking to do as well. A popular use of manufactured stone veneer is to cover a walkway in the front garden, around the fireplace, inside or outside archways, the front face of a home or business, and anywhere you want to make a lasting impression with a natural-looking material such as stone.
Manufactured stone, cultured stone, decorative stone and stone veneer are less expensive than you might think. They can be purchased locally and used to modernize the look of your home or commercial property and increase property value. Stone design can take the form of many different varieties to suit any style of building. We always wanted the look of manufactured stone veneer in Calgary. It was what "fit in" at the time. It wasn't as important on our Lethbridge home because the stone look wasn't as popular there.
Window Installation – one of the more popular brands for windows is jeld-wen. A window installer would be measuring and placing casement windows, patio doors, double-hung windows and many more styles. Some slide open and others are non-opening depending on the application. The window installation technician would fit pre-made and sized windows into the pre-cut and measured window openings on residential homes, commercial buildings and large industrial windows in buildings as well. Precision window installation requires level, weather-tight and leak-free seams. Usually there are several years of apprenticeship required. The technical skills and experience for professional window installers would also be important.

HRC senior NCO becomes Army's first enlisted Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt
April 6, 2011
By By Andrea Wales, U.S. Army Human Resources Command Public Affairs Office
Story Highlights
- Master Sgt. Shane Wentz
- Highest level expert in Army Process improvement
- Only 51 have earned this level
Pull quote: 'Lean Six Sigma is one tool that that the Army uses to
improve processes and get the most bang for our buck!'
FORT KNOX, Ky. - A senior non-commissioned officer at the U.S. Army Human Resources Command ranks among the Army's top "efficiency experts," but being the Army's first enlisted Lean Six Sigma "Master Black Belt" puts him in a class by himself.
A Master Black Belt is the highest level of expert in Army process improvement. Since the Lean Six Sigma program began in 2005, only 50 people had earned this certification, and this Soldier was honored March 15 for joining their ranks at No. 51.
Master Sgt. Shane Wentz lives and breathes Lean Six Sigma, the Army's equivalent of "build a better mousetrap." He teaches and mentors LSS practitioners within HRC's directorates so they can find ways to improve their business practices to better serve HRC's customers: Soldiers, veterans and family members.
"In everything we do these days, we must be cognizant of how much it costs - in dollars, time and manpower," Wentz said. "Lean Six Sigma is one tool that that the Army uses to improve processes and get the most bang for our buck! It takes us out of our comfort zone and makes us look at things from a different perspective."
To be certified as a Master Black Belt you must:
1. attend a three-week course taught by the Army at Fort Belvoir, Va.;
2. pass a four-hour exam ("The toughest test I have ever taken, including college work completed during my MBA program!")
3. complete two Black Belt-level projects;
4. mentor two Black Belt-level projects to completion; and
5. teach the Army four-week Black Belt course of instruction twice.
The road to earning Master Black Belt was long and often difficult, but it was extremely rewarding, he said. In addition to the knowledge and the satisfaction he gained throughout the certification process, Wentz received kudos from both HRC commander Maj. Gen. Gina Farrisee and HRC deputy commander Brig. Gen. Marcia Anderson.
"We're heading into a very volatile and uncertain time, and a lot of constrained resources," said Anderson, who provides Lean Six Sigma oversight at HRC. "It makes it even more important that we have people ... who are willing to look at things a little bit differently, who are going to think ... outside the box and who are willing to question the way we've always done things. It's really important that we be as efficient and effective as we can be as public servants because I think the American public and our fellow Soldiers and civilians depend on us to do that."
It was work outside of the Army that sparked Wentz's interest in Lean Six Sigma. While working on his masters of business administration about five years ago, Wentz did some case studies on companies that used Lean Six Sigma. He said he "found it fascinating."
Wentz began doing Lean Six Sigma in the Army only about a year and a half ago, and just started doing Lean Six Sigma full time in May 2010 when he went from Retention and Reclassification Branch in HRC's Enlisted Personnel Management Directorate to the Strategic Initiatives Group, or SIG.
The challenge was how to fit earning a Master Black Belt into an already-full work schedule.
"I tried to have it impact work as little as possible. Of course, teaching the class impacts work ... because you're out of the office while you're teaching; the other people in your office kind of have to pick up your workload while you're out," Wentz said. "It helped me tremendously. It freed me up to concentrate solely on the class versus (going) back and forth from the class to the office."
Then, of course, there were the late nights of studying for black-belt and MBB tests along the way.
The best part, according to Wentz, was working with other Soldiers and civilians both inside and outside the command to improve Army processes.
"In just a handful of the projects we worked on," Wentz said, "we saved the Army, in cost saving and cost avoidance, over $20 million a year by improving the processes."
Just what is an Army Master Black Belt'
The Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt is a full-time dedicated position reporting to the Deployment Director (or in some cases, to the Process Owner). The MBB is the organization's in-house expert for disseminating knowledge and training/coaching Black Belts (and Green Belts when appropriate). Additionally, the Master Black Belt takes a direct leadership role in leading complex, enterprise-wide or strategic-level LSS projects. Only Army-certified MBBs are eligible to teach the Army LSS programs of instruction.

About a week and a half ago, LO came down with his latest daycare illness-- a really bad cold with a harsh cough. He was coughing quite badly early last week with a very low grade fever. Wed his fever suddenly came back but higher; we took him in and got diagnosed with a double ear infection. We're still on the course of antibiotics. His cough was getting much better to the point that he'd go several hours at night without coughing. Suddenly, yesterday at daycare, he began coughing violently again and it is MUCH worse. It kept him up most of last night. He couldn't nap at DC today because of the coughing. He's been in bed for about an hour now, and has woken up 3 times from coughing already. I can't be sure but I think he might also have another very low grade fever. Otherwise he's been in a very good, cheerful mood.
He managed to get ME sick as well, and I was coughing quite violently all last weekend and the last few days. It's just now finally starting to subside so I can attest to how horrible it is.
I have no idea why the coughing suddenly started up again, but I'd love to know anything that's worked for other LOs of this age. We're not in a hurry to bring him back to the doctor--we really can't afford it--unless he's showing signs of some major illness. Of course we can't do cough syrup, and he refuses to eat honey.

Long time Friend's volunteer and member of the Friends Board, Ann Schwendener, died last Saturday. After learning of her diagnosis and hearing the prognosis for 6 months, I thought she'd pass in the fall. I dreaded the fall, but she went on the first day of summer. For some weird reason that gives me the tiniest bit of consolation. I don't know why. Don't get me wrong, I wanted her around for as long as possible, and I already miss her. But for me, the first day of summer is a happy time, a good time to do anything.
Ann volunteered with the Friends for many, many years. She spoke at this organizations 50th anniversary celebration and shared memories of the early years. Since she died, I've looked for a record of when she started volunteering here and I can't find one. Of course I regret that. Maybe someone else knows.
In addition to working in the bookstore and at book sales, she was on the board and was the treasurer for many years. Ann was one of 3 or 4 people who shared the collective memory of so much of the early days of FKPL: she knew the history because she'd been part of it.
Ann was an outstanding woman, an amazing person. She really lived, she experienced so much, enjoyed so much, and right up to the last year she never seemed to slow down.
We're closing the store on Saturday afternoon so that those who knew her can attend her memorial service. We will close 1:00.
The Bag-of-Books Sale is the best deal in town for book lovers. Great selection at an amazing price! You can fill a grocery-size bag full of books and pay only $2.00! This annual sale is our biggest sale of the year. It takes place the first Saturday in June during the June Jubilee weekend. Here's the important information:
Please feel free to bring your own reusable grocery-bag size tote. You will find: fiction & mystery, romance, science fiction, assorted nonfiction, children's books, audio books, movies, music, and more. There will be more than 10,000 items! Call 553-7820 with questions..

RARE! 2005 Vatican Euro Coin Proof Set - John Paul II
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Coins & Currency
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Apr 30, 2011
- Channel: Auction House
Rare 2005 Vatican Euro Proof Set Available in time for the Beatification of His Holiness, Pope John Paul II On May first, the Holy Father Pope John Paul II, born Karol Jozef Wojtyia, the first pope from Poland and serving the second longest pontificate, will be Beatified in the third step toward becoming a Saint (the fourth being canonization, which requires yet another bona-fide miracle), and will be then known as 'Blessed.' The miracle which has led to John Paul II's Beatification is described by Cardinal Angelo Amato in an interview on Vatican Radio: "The miracle is the cure of French Sister Marie Simon Pierre from Parkinson's. The disease was diagnosed in 2001 by her physician and by other specialists.� Sister received proper treatment, which was not, however, apt to cure the disease, but only to attenuate her pain.� At the news of the death of Pope John Paul II, who had suffered from the same disease, Sister Marie and her companions began to invoke the deceased Pontiff, asking him for healing. On June 2, 2005, tired and overwhelmed by the pain, Sister Marie made her intention to be released from professional work known to her religious superior. Her superior, however, invited Sister Marie to trust in the intercession of John Paul II. Sister Marie then retired for the night, which she passed quietly.� On awakening she felt healed.� Her pains had disappeared, and she felt no stiffness in her joints.� It was June 3, 2005, the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Sister Marie immediately interrupted her medical treatment and saw her doctor, who could only confirm that Sister Marie had been healed." An amazing story. And now you can have a rare set of the last coins issued during the reign of His Holiness, and before the issuance of the 'Vacant See' coins later in 2005 (which have no papal image, as they signify the vacancy of the papacy). This set includes a specially issued silver medal entitled "The Crucifixion" by famed Florentine artist Cimabue. (note: coin images are from the official Euro site, which may not depict the correct date. This set IS a 2005 set). The coins come in a lovely velvet green case with closure, and will be shipped via registered mail ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES, insured for the full final bid value. Registered mail charge is $25.00, regardless of final value and includes packing and shipment by first class or priority registered mail, whichever is faster to your area. The shipment will require a signature (USPS rules). for history on how I pack and ship. And please write with any questions. I hope you will look upon this item as an investment in history, and enjoy them for generations to come. !

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Up to now, zero-turn mowers were appreciated for their ability to cut fast and cut close, making them ideal for large, flat properties with lots of plantings and other obstacles to negotiate. However, their more complicated steering and control mechanisms (compared to lawn tractors) and poor stability, especially on sloped ground, was not as widely liked.
That has changed markedly with the introduction of zero-turn mowers with conventional steering wheel controls. With steerable front wheels in place of the caster-style wheels found on traditional zero-turn mowers, these newer models navigate easier, offer better stability on hills and dips, and remove the learning curve that other zero-turn mowers demand, experts say.
Among these steering-wheel equipped zero-turn mowers, the Toro TimeCutter SW4200 (Est. $2,900) draws terrific feedback. It scores well enough in testing at ConsumerReports.org to be one of the top zero-turn-radius riders identified in a free article posted at the site. You can count Paul Sikkema of TodaysMowers.com as a big fan as well. He likes all of the Toro Zero Turn tractors but says that the SW4200 "will be a very popular mower for most homeowners." He adds that "This is the model I would pick for my one acre lawn."
Advantages start with the steering system. Instead of using levers to run one wheel in one direction while the other spins in the other to turn the mower practically in place, the conventional steering wheel and steerable front tires make control much easier, with better traction on hills, including the ability to more easily turn at the bottom of slopes -- although a conventional lawn tractor, which we cover elsewhere in this report, will have better traction still and be even more stable, Sikkema notes. He also notes that this steering system puts less stress on the riding mower's transmission, preventing possible premature failure.
Independent testing shows very good performance across the board whether bagging, mulching or discharging clippings to the side. Handling and ease of use are considered top notch. Ergonomics are top notch as well, including a comfortable seat. Build quality draws kudos, as does the new motor that Toro uses in this model. "These engines were specifically created to deliver the best performance by matching the torque curve of the engine to the power needs of the Toro deck it powers," Sikkema says. In plain English, that means that "It gives the engine more available power when you need it."
User reviews are limited (and the ones posted at HomeDepot.com at the time of our visit included feedback for a wide variety of mowers -- most of which are very different from the SW4200). However, we found nearly a dozen at Toro's site and a handful more at MowersDirect.com -- all of which rate it 4 or, mostly, 5 stars overall. Every owner weighing in thus far says that they would recommend the Toro SW4200.
All zero-turn mowers are pricey compared to lawn tractors, and the SW4200 is no exception. But if you'd like to save at least a few dollars and get a well-regarded model with steering-wheel control, the Cub Cadet RZT S 42 (Est. $2,700) is worth considering. It's not as powerful as the SW4200 -- Sikkema rates it as good choice for flat lawns and those with gentle slopes, but it delivers all of the ease of use and most of the performance of pricier zero-turn mowers.
Bagging is this zero turn mower's shortfall. An independent tester looks at a 46-inch version of this mower, the Cub Cadet RZT-S 46 (Est. $3,000) and considers bagging to only so-so, Sikkema is more blunt: "The 42/46 inch bagger available is notorious for not bagging fresh grass well," he says, though performance is better with leaves and dry grass.
Ease of use is generally well liked. Sikkema notes that when you back up the mower, the cutting deck turns off for safety. He has no issues with this, but Geof Fowler at Tractor.com says that reversing takes more effort than he would like. "The reverse pedal, perhaps to discourage mowing in reverse, runs through a pedal-lever that sticks straight out from the floorboard and requires lifting one's foot to reach the pedal," he says. He adds that were he to buy the Cub Cadet, he might look into changing that set up on his own (or with the help of a local machine shop or fabricator), but that even as is, the pedal arrangement works "and shouldnÕt in any way be considered a show-stopper."
The Cub Cadet RZT S 42 has been around long enough to have accumulated a decent volume of user feedback. HomeDepot.com hosts the most we spotted -- more than 110 reviews -- and most are pretty positive. The Cub Cadet draws a rating of 4.6 stars, with 93 percent saying that they would recommend this zero-turn mower.
If you are on a tighter budget still but want a zero-turn mower, the Craftsman 20411 (Est. $2,000) is about the cheapest model that gets solid expert and user feedback; itÕs the cheapest zero-turn mower that Sikkema recommends. It attracts 30 user reviews and a 4-star rating at Sears.com. Some owners are clearly displeased by defects in mowers they received, but most seem to be thrilled. This is a conventional zero-turn riding mower, with lever/lap bar controls, so there's a little more to get a grip on before you master using it -- and that's reflected in the feedback. That said, most owners say that getting the hang of using the Craftsman isn't an ordeal and that afterwards, operation is fast, reliable and even fun.

An impeller hub including a tube portion extending along an axis, the
tube portion having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, wherein a
longitudinal bore forms the inner diameter, a flange extending radially
out from the tube portion, wherein the longitudinal bore through the tube
portion and the flange are formed by a cold forming process.
1. An impeller hub comprising: a tube portion extending along an axis,
said tube portion having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, wherein
a longitudinal bore forms said inner diameter; a flange extending
radially out from said tube portion; wherein a flange diameter of said
flange is at most 30% larger than said outer diameter.
2. The impeller hub recited in claim 1, wherein a wherein said longitudinal bore through said tube portion, said flange, or both, are formed by a cold forming process.
3. The impeller hub recited in claim 2, wherein said outer diameter of said tube portion is at most approximately 50 mm.
4. The impeller hub recited in claim 3, wherein said impeller hub is manufactured from SAE 1035 or SAE 10B35 steel.
5. A torque converter comprising an impeller hub according to claim 1 welded to an impeller shell.
6. The torque converter recited in claim 5, wherein said impeller hub is welded to said impeller shell such that said inner diameter of said tube portion of said impeller hub is aligned with an inner circumferential surface of said impeller shell.
7. The torque converter recited in claim 5, wherein said impeller hub is welded to said impeller shell such that a radial surface of said flange is aligned with an inner radial surface of said impeller shell.
[0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/425,438 filed Dec. 21, 2010, which application is incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The invention broadly relates to torque converters, more specifically to an impeller hub for a torque converter, and even more particularly to a seamless, flanged impeller hub for a torque converter.
[0003] Torque converters are known in the art commonly having an impeller hub for connection with a transmission assembly. One known type of impeller hub is a hub formed by forging. Since this hub must be created by forging, it is very costly to produce. For example, see United States Patent Publication No. 2009/0155078 (Heeke et al.), which Patent Publication is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Forged hubs are made with a very large radial flange in order to strengthen the connection of the hub to the impeller shell, as discussed in more detail below. A second type of impeller hub is a seamed tube hub, which is formed by rolling a long, flat piece of steel into a tube, and welding down the seam. However, this hub is not very strong because of the seam down its length and also because it lacks a flange.
[0004] Another type of impeller hub is a seamless tube hub, which is formed by an extrusion-type process. Although stronger than the seamed tube hub, the seamless hub is not nearly as strong as the forged hub, because the seamless hub also lacks a flange. Thus, when welded to the impeller shell, the tube hub is essentially perpendicular with respect to the impeller shell, with a weld formed about the tube along this perpendicular contact point.
[0005] Disadvantageously, the location of the weld is also the point about which the tube hub bends or deflects when subjected to forces during operation of the torque converter on the hub. For example, the torque converter may vibrate or wobble slightly during normal operation due to slight misalignment of the torque converter between an engine and transmission. Accordingly, the weld is subjected to a large bending moment created by forces exerted on the hub. The flange of the forged hub offsets the weld position so that bending does not occur directly at the weld, thereby reducing the stress in the weld. Furthermore, by moving the weld outwards in the radial direction, the surface area covered by the weld is increased, thereby increasing the overall strength of the welded joint. Thus, what is desired is a hub having a flange, but manufacturable by a process less costly than forging.
[0006] The present invention broadly comprises an impeller hub including a tube portion extending along an axis, the tube portion having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, wherein a longitudinal bore forms the inner diameter, a flange extending radially out from the tube portion, wherein a flange diameter of the flange is at most 30% larger than the outer diameter. The longitudinal bore through the tube portion, the flange, or both, are formed by a cold forming process. In one embodiment, the outer diameter of the tube portion is at most approximately 50 mm. In one embodiment, the impeller hub is manufactured from SAE 1035 or SAE 10B35 steel. In one embodiment,
[0007] The current invention also broadly comprises a torque converter comprising an impeller hub according to the above paragraph welded to an impeller shell. In one embodiment, the impeller hub is welded to the impeller shell such that the inner diameter of the tube portion of the impeller hub is aligned with an inner circumferential surface of the impeller shell. In one embodiment, the impeller hub is welded to the impeller shell such that a radial surface of the flange is aligned with an inner radial surface of the impeller shell.
[0008] These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciable from the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention and from the accompanying drawings and claims.
[0009] The nature and mode of operation of the present invention will now be more fully described in the following detailed description of the invention taken with the accompanying drawing figures, in which:
[0010] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a torque converter having a mini-flange impeller hub welded to an impeller shell in a first embodiment;
[0011] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a mini-flange impeller hub welded to an impeller shell in a second embodiment; and, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a mini-flange impeller hub.
[0012] At the outset, it should be appreciated that like drawing numbers on different drawing views identify identical, or functionally similar, structural elements of the invention. While the present invention is described with respect to what is presently considered to be the preferred aspects, it is to be understood that the invention as claimed is not limited to the disclosed aspects.
[0013] Furthermore, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the particular methodology, materials and modifications described and as such may, of course, vary. It is also understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, which is limited only by the appended claims. It is also understood that any reference to axial, radial, or circumferential directions, surfaces, or properties is made with respect to the axis of rotation shown in the drawings, indicated generally as axis A. "Cold forming" and/or "cold working" is used in accordance with the commonly understood definition of the term, that is, to generally mean that the forming is performed at ambient or room temperature, or, more specifically, at a lower temperature than the re-crystallization temperature of the material being formed.
[0014] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although any methods, devices or materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the invention, the preferred methods, devices, and materials are now described.
[0015] Referring now to the figures, FIG. 1 shows torque converter 10 arranged, for example, with cover 12 connected to an engine or other torsional input (not shown), the torque converter also having impeller 14, turbine 16, stator 18, and vibration damper 20 for hydraulically transferring torque through the torque converter. These components are shown for purposes of discussion, and could be replaced by any type or style of cover, impeller, turbine, stator, and/or vibration damper known in the art, and in some embodiments, some of these components may not even be included.
[0016] Cover 12 is formed by two cover portions, namely, engine side cover portion 22 and impeller shell portion 24. That is, cover portion 24 also forms a shell for impeller 14. Cover portions 22 and 24 are connected together, such as via weld 26. Impeller hub 28, which includes mini-flange 30, is affixed to impeller shell 24 via weld 32. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, mini-flange 30 is matingly engaged against the outer radial surface of impeller shell 24, such that inner circumferential surface 34 of hub 28 is aligned with inner circumferential surface 35 of impeller shell 24 for forming a substantially smooth opening for receiving input and/or stator shafts from a transmission for coupling with the output of damper 20 and stator 18, for example.
[0017] A second arrangement is shown with respect to the embodiment of FIG. 2. Impeller shell 36, which substantially resembles shell 24, is shown welded to impeller hub 38, which substantially resembles impeller hub 28, in that hub 38 includes mini-flange 40. Also like hub 28, hub 38 is secured to impeller shell 36 via weld 42, however, the placement of the hub with respect to the impeller shell is different. Specifically, hub 38 is arranged with respect to impeller shell 36 such that radial surface 44 of the hub is not engaged matingly against the outer radial surface of the impeller shell, but instead so that radial surface 44 is aligned with inner radial surface 46 of impeller shell 36.
[0018] Impeller hub 50 is shown in FIG. 3 as a general example of a hub according to the current invention. Hub 50 includes tube portion 52, with flared end or mini-flange 54, which generally resembles both of mini-flanges 30 and 40. Bore 56 is formed down the middle of the hub, such as for enabling a transmission input shaft to run therethrough. Hub 50 has inner tube diameter D1 and outer tube diameter D2. The inner tube diameter is defined by the bore down the middle of the tube. Flange diameter D3 defines the outer diameter for flange 54.
[0019] Due, for example, to the process of cold forming, diameter D3 is maximally formed as being approximately 30% larger than outer tube diameter D2. Thus, the term "mini-flange" is used herein, because the flange of forged hubs used in prior art torque converters are much larger than the mini-flanges of the current invention, where the forged hubs have a flange diameter approximately at least 50% larger than the outer tube diameter. Steel is commonly used for impeller hubs, and it has been found that the material for manufacturing mini-flange hubs according to the current invention should have low carbon content, such as SAE1035 or SAE 10B35 in order to sufficiently undergo the cold forming process.
[0020] Advantageously, as discussed above, the inclusion of mini-flanges 30, 40, or generally 54, results in the weld, such as welds 32 and 42, becoming moved radially outward with respect to the position at which the weld would have been located for a seamless tube hub. Since the weld is formed in a circular pattern about the outer circumference of the hub, moving the location of the weld radially outward results in the size of the weld bead to increase, thereby increasing the overall strength of the welded connection between the impeller shell and the hub.
[0021] Furthermore, moving the weld location radially outward moves the weld away from the point that the hub bends with respect to the impeller shell when the hub is subjected to forces, such as during vibration of the torque converter during operation. Instead, the bending moment is experienced most severely in the hub at the corner where the mini-flange meets the tube portion.
[0022] It should be noted that using larger diameter seamless tube hubs also results in an increase in size, and therefore strength, of the weld bead in prior art systems. As a result, the current invention hub is generally more important for use in smaller sized torque converters, which have smaller weld beads. For example, it has been found that seamless tube hubs which are approximately over 50 mm in outer diameter have welds which are sufficiently strong to handle normal operating conditions. As a result, the current invention hub has been found to provide the greatest advantage when formed on impeller hubs approximately less than 50 mm in outer diameter.
[0023] One cold forming process of manufacturing hub 50 is described generally below. The process starts with a cylindrical rod or wire that is cut to the appropriate length. A cavity is formed into the rod such that the part substantially resembles a cup, and is substantially U-shaped in cross-section. Excess material may be included proximate the base of the cup-shaped part, such that a lip is next formed about the base of the part using the excess material. Thus, the part substantially resembles a cup with a disc-like lip or projection extending from the cup. Next, finished hub 50, as shown in FIG. 3, is formed by extending the cavity fully through the hub for forming longitudinal bore 56 through tube portion 52. The lip formed about the base of the cup-shaped part is thus arranged as mini-flange 54 on hub 50. The process is performed in a cold forming operation involving a press and a die set, for example, where the part transitions between dies so that a cut rod or wire enters the press and the finished hub comes out.
[0024] Thus, it is seen that the objects of the present invention are efficiently obtained, although modifications and changes to the invention should be readily apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art, which modifications are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. It also is understood that the foregoing description is illustrative of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting. Therefore, other embodiments of the present invention are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Crank up your players' defensive pressure with this drill from University of Colorado head coach Tad Boyle. Coach Boyle likes to run this drill because it promotes good communication on defense, rebounding fundamentals and also helps players learn to fly to the ball.
Drill Summary: Three defensive players begin in the lane with four offensive players evenly spaced out around the perimeter. To begin, the coach rolls the ball to an offensive player. The offense gets a maximum of five passes before they have to shoot the ball. Until the ball is shot, the three defenders must use good closeouts and defensive rotations as the ball moves around. Once the ball is shot, the offense crashes and a fourth defensive player who has stayed under the rim until the shot enters the drill. The fourth defender's duty is to pick up whoever the other three defenders haven't boxed out. If the defense gets the rebound, they get a point. If the offense gets the rebound or makes the shot, the defense goes back to zero points. The goal of the drill is for the defense to get three stops consecutively.
Keys to the Drill:
1) Move your feet.
2) Pressure the ball.
3) Communicate.
4) Box out.

Head women's coach at the University of Tennessee, Holly Warlick, presents a fun rebounding drill that inspires competitiveness and improves team tenacity on the boards. Want to own the glass? Incorporate this drill into your next practice!
Drill Summary: Five offensive players line up around the three point line and are assigned numbers (1-5). Three defensive players begin in the lane underneath the hoop. To start the drill, a coach yells out three numbers between one and five as they shoot a ball. The players with those three corresponding numbers are the players who crash the boards for the offensive rebound. The defensive players must communicate with each other and box out the players crashing on offense. If the defense gets the rebound, they must clear the ball past half court. If the offense gets the rebound, they may continue to try to score a bucket. Points are awarded as follows: 1 point for a defensive rebound, 2 points for an offensive rebound, 2 points for a score, bonus point for three rebounds in a row. The first team to 10 points wins. Variation: Allow offensive players to move around before the coach shoots the ball.
Keys to the Drill:
1) Know your number.
2) Box out.
3) Communicate with each other.
4) Crash around defensive players, not into them.

Terry Layton is a highly respected basketball coach, scout, and consultant both here in the states and internationally. Internationally, most practice facilities are only limited to two baskets. So coaches try to use as many drills, which combine multiple areas of skill development at once. Coach Layton shows phase one of the "Chinese Drill." With this single drill you can brush up on passing, screening, shooting, rebounding, spacing in transition, and defending the 2-on-1 break.
Player Movements: Three players begin the drill by passing along the baseline out-of-bounds. Those players then move to the perimeter, where a player will sprint into a wing ball screen. With this phase of the drill, the person using the ball screen throws the ball back to the screener, who is popping and spacing for a long jump shot. The passer and the third player (not involved in the ball screen) then go to the opposite side of the floor and battle for the rebound (most rebounds on a long jump shot will end up on the opposite side of the rim). The two players battling for the rebound then do a 2-on-1 break going the other way with the shooter in the drill being the lone defender back.
In the later phases of this drill (not shown) you can use a pick and roll where you hit the screener with a bounce or lob pass at the rim or the person using the ball screen shoots a step-back jump shot.
Teaching Points:
1) Solid Passing
2) Communication when passing
3) Sprint into a ball screen and the space properly when popping
4) When battling for the rebound, attack the other person's arm
5) Spacing and converting on a 2-on-1 break

Win the battle of the boards this season by incorporating these proven rebounding drills into your practice plan. The following drills — which are perfect for middle school, high school, and college level programs — are first explained step by step before a real team runs through them live on the basketball court.
Rebound Pit Drill
Submitted by Larry Inman, Former Head Women's Coach at Eastern Kentucky University and Current Coach at Tennessee State
Overview: This is a demanding drill that challenges players both mentally and physically. Position two lines of players hitting the boards every time a coach or manager shoots it. Look to start out on the lane line extended and just above the three-point circle.
Drill Movements: Two defensive players will step up just in front of the offensive players and will box out and secure the board until they rebound three consecutive times. If they don't get three rebounds in a row, they must start over from scratch. Also, players should rotate through and get to play both positions.
UNI Rebounding Drill
Submitted by Scott DeJong, Ankeny High School, Ankeny, Iowa
Overview: This is a competitive rebounding drill that simulates game conditions. There are four offensive players set up; One on the wing, one up top, one on the block, and another player on the weakside post/baseline area.
Meanwhile, the defensive players set up like this: One player is guarding on the weakside, another at the top of the key, a third in the post, and a defender X1 guards the ball.
Drill Movements: To begin the drill, X1 makes a bounce pass to the wing shooter and then closes out on the shot. All other players must block out. If the defense gets the ball, they must outlet to the coach. The coach then passes to the next defender in line. Players will rotate on defense through the different positions. Defenders are up for 10 shots and then switch with the offense. Keep stats and the team with the most boards after 10 total shots is the winner.
Coaching Tip: Mix up your post defense. For instance, try a fronted post on several reps and see how your players respond.

Pick up a pair of proven defensive basketball drills from Northern Iowa head men's basketball coach Ben Jacobson. These "fundamental" drills are considered crucial pieces of Jacobson's practice plans throughout the basketball season (Yes, even in March) and are considered to be very effective tools for improving team defensive play.
Numbers Rebounding Drill
Overview/Set-up: Start in a 3-on-3 format and get the ball up top. There will be three defensive players in the middle of the lane facing away from the basket, almost stacked but spaced apart by a foot. Meanwhile, there are three offensive players around the horn, two in opposite corners, and one up top.
The Action: The first defensive player is 1, the second is 2, and the third is 3. Those are their assigned numbers. The coach will pass the ball to one of the three offensive players around the horn. The coach will also call out a number. That assigned player will then go out and contest the basketball. For example, if the coaches passes it to the top and calls out 1, the first player will come out with high hands and contest the shot. The remaining players will communicate and then split and block out to get the rebound. As for the offensive players, all they do is catch the ball and shoot.
Coaching Points and Tips: When blocking out, whichever way the offensive guy goes, it's important to get our contact and ride with him. If he goes to the middle of the floor, we must front pivot, put a forearm in his chest, ride with him, open up, put your tailbone into his legs, and block out from there. Then go get the rebound. If the offensive player goes baseline, we need to pivot, get inside the man, ride with him, and then go get the ball. Fight until you come up with it.
Defensive Drill
Set-up: In this 3-on-3 defensive drill, three offensive players will set up around the horn with three defenders as well. The ball starts up top midway between the top of the key and half court.
The Action: The drill starts with an advantage for the ball handler. He will drive it hard to the hoop until he gets stopped. The defender's job is to catch up and get things leveled off. The help defenders must stay and help.
After a pass to either wing, the new ball handler will sweep and drive baseline as hard as they can. Our job defensively is to cut this off. We can do this in two ways: Work on taking a charge OR cut them off and hold your ground. Next, the ball handler will pass it baseline to his opposite teammate. From here, the help defender will look to bat that pass down. After the deflection, a coach will take a second ball and pass it to the opposite wing player. Finally, players will scramble, recover, and the action is now live from this spot.
Goal: Get a stop out of this, whether through a knockdown, steal, rebound, charge, etc.

I would, though, recommend that you pick whichever you prefer and then use that approach consistently, but this is, really, a question of pure personal preference.
By the book, the correct answer is

|Mr. Potter's Offer: Occupy "It's a Wonderful Life"
|Commentary/Politics - Guest Commentaries
|Written by Karoline Steavenson
|Thursday, 15 December 2011 11:52
This time of year the classic film It's a Wonderful Life comes out of storage and is broadcast on TV, or pulled out of a video collection. In some places, including the Quad Cities, it will be shown in a theater. It's showing at the Galvin Fine Arts Center at St. Ambrose University on Saturday, December 18, at 1 p.m., with audience response encouraged.
As was typical with director Frank Capra's later films, it wasn't made primarily to be a blockbuster the way Hollywood films are often planned today. It was made so that Frank Capra could teach a few lessons. His later films always included morals.
One crucial lesson in It's a Wonderful Life is taught when Mr. Potter, the most powerful and intimidating man in Bedford Falls, offers George Bailey, his do-gooder nemesis, a job. Potter wants to destroy George's family-owned company, the Bailey Building & Loan. So driven by that most basic of sins – greed – Potter offers to make Bailey his paid lackey.
He knows George's soft spots – how much he adores his wife and how he longs to travel – so Potter offers Bailey supposed freedom from the drudgery of a simple, middle-class life if George will only bow to his will. Mr. Potter's offer is very lucrative, and he encases it in "family" – the one word that will pierce the heart of a good man or woman every time.
Bailey knows full well the ramifications of the offer. His family will be showered with wealth, but his father's business will fold up and die without him leading it. There is no one in Bedford Falls tough enough, smart enough, or committed enough to the principles of home ownership to take over the business if he leaves.
George chooses the difficult but noble path. He chooses the well-being of his community over his own immediate gratification.
How opposite this Capra lesson is from everything our consumer society, our politicians, and our business leaders have modeled for us for the past 30 years.
We have all been taught by Wall Street practices and our consumer culture that greed is good and more is always the best choice. But that's not what George Bailey chose. He put his own salary second, placed his community first, and by doing so he defied the power structure of his town culture.
Perhaps that is one of the key reasons why this film is still a favorite? Compared to the rest of the role models our consumer culture serves up, the Baileys are quirky freaks – so quaint in their devotion to pulling their neighbors up with them as they prosper.
We all want to be powerful. When people search for support systems, network, or make a plan to climb a financial ladder, it's often because life is spinning out of control. We feel like we have lost our way, so we go through machinations to figure out how to get our power back.
But look at how powerful George Bailey was in this film – not because he was the richest man in town, not because he dominated people as Mr. Potter did, and not because he grabbed power at the expense of his principles, but because he served people.
We are all faced with Mr. Potter's offer at some point in our lives. We all have to ask ourselves, "Do I go for the money, sell out my beliefs and my truth and the truth I see, or do I remain content with what I have? Do I sell out my integrity and values, or do I stand up to cruelty? Do I save my family first, or can I help my family more in the long run by challenging the system?"
A few thousand George and Mary Baileys are shivering out in the cold this holiday season as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Whether you agree with them or not, it's clear to see that they know full well the Mr. Potters of this world are making them an offer. The offer is: Be quiet, work for the system as it is, and hope and pray that the Mr. Potters will take care of you eventually. But first, leave your truth, the injustice you see, and your principles at the door.
The Occupy protesters have shouted "no." They have put their community first and are challenging the power brokers just like the fictional Baileys did.
This holiday classic is coming to life on our streets. It's not quaint, it's not in black-and-white, and it's not occurring in the inner offices of the richest man in town. Nonetheless the Occupy Wall Street protesters are shouting "no" to financial demagoguery.
What will we do with this life lesson now that's it's come down off the movie screen?
