The present invention relates to sheet handling mechanisms, especially mechanisms for arranging sheets in overlapped relation, and/or arranging them into a horizontal stack.
Sheet stacking mechanisms have been heretofore proposed in which a series of sheets are overlapped and then arranged in a horizontal stack wherein the individual sheets are vertically oriented. Exemplary of mechanisms and techniques which overlap sheets and/or arrange sheets into a horizontal stack are those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,198,046 issued to DeAngelo on Aug. 3, 1965, 3,672,667 issued to Pahlitzsch on June 27, 1972, 3,932,982 issued to Klapp on Jan. 20, 1976, and 3,942,786 issued to Lauren on Mar. 9, 1976.
Mechanisms for overlapping sheets may involve a first conveyor which advances the sheets horizontally in sequence. The sheets are fed onto a more slowly traveling second conveyor so that the leading edge of a sheet on the first conveyor overtakes the trailing edge of the preceeding sheet on the second conveyor. Means is provided for physically raising such trailing edge relative to the leading edge of the succeeding sheet so that the latter may advance beneath the former. Thereafter, the trailing edge is permitted to descend upon the leading edge whereby the sheets are in lapped relation to facilitate subsequent stacking. The above-mentioned DeAngelo and Phlitzach patents are exemplary of such a mechanism.
In DeAngelo an air nozzle is utilized to produce blasts of air beneath the trailing edge to raise the latter. In Pahlitzsch that function is performed by cams which move relative to a suction conveyor carrying the preceding sheet.
It will be realized that the provision of sheet-raising devices, such as air nozzles or moving cams, renders the handling mechanism more complex and expensive and necessitates that precautions be taken to insure that the sheet-raising device is properly synchronized relative to the speed of the conveyors.
One manner of stacking overlapped sheets heretofore proposed involves the use of a pair of mutually opposite endless conveyors, one being of concave configuration, the other of convex configuration. These conveyors form a nip therebetween to grip and advance prelapped sheets from a horizontal orientation to a vertical orientation, whereupon the sheets are dropped into a conveyor-driven trough. As the sheets build-up in the trough, a horizontal stack is established. The aforementioned Klapp patent is exemplary of such a proposal.
The use of a pair of conveyor belts to transport sheets sandwiched therebetween and a driven trough into which the sheets are deposited, constitutes a complex and somewhat unweildy mechanism. If both belts are not driven at identical speeds, damage to the sheets may occur; hence precautions in that area must be taken. The driven trough makes further energy demands on the system, and its speed must be synchronized relative to the rate of sheet feed or else the sheets will not be stacked tightly.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a novel sheet handling apparatus which solves or alleviates problems of the above-noted type.
It is another object of the present invention to provide novel apparatus for overlapping sheets.
It is another object of the present invention to provide novel apparatus for arranging sheets in a horizontal stack.
It is another object of the invention to overlap sheets and/or arrange sheets in a horizontal stack, by means of relatively simplified apparatus that are capable of relatively high-speed operation.
It is a further object of the invention to provide such apparatus which involve minimal concern for speed synchronization of sheet transport components.
It is another object of the invention to overlap sheets by advancing sheets onto a downwardly curved suction conveyor such that the act of adhering to the conveyor causes the trailing edge to be raised sufficiently to receive therebeneath the leading edge of the succeeding sheet.
It is still a further object of the invention to arrange overlapped sheets into a horizontal stack by advancing the sheets on a downwardly curved suction conveyor and dropping the sheets onto a displaceable carrier, the carrier being moved by the build-up of sheets thereon.
These and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof in connection with the accompanying drawing in which like numerals designate like objects and in which:

The objects of the present invention are achieved by sheet handling apparatus wherein sheets are delivered onto a conveyor belt traveling at a slower speed than the speed at which the sheets are delivered. The leading end of a sheet is sucked against the conveyor belt such that a trailing end of the sheet flips upwardly and allows the leading end of the succeeding sheet to pass therebeneath. These sheets are conveyed in lapped relationship by the conveyor belt.
At a discharge end of the conveyor the lapped sheets drop sequentially in vertical orientation onto a carrier. A movable retainer plate contacts the initial sheet of the stack and is horizontally displaced thereby as the stack builds up, to maintain the sheets upright and in tightly abutting relationship. The retainer is mounted at the end of a freely movable, horizontally extensible pair of rods onto which the sheets fall, such that displacement of the retainer produces extension of the rods to accommodate additional sheets.
A sheet handling mechanism 10 according to the present invention is positioned at the outlet side of a cutter assembly 12 (FIG. 1). The cutter assembly 12 comprises a rotary cutter wheel or die wheel 14 and an oppositely positioned anvil roller 16. These die and anvil rollers 14, 16 are of a conventional nature and are operable to cut a web into individual sheets S.
For example, into the inlet side of the cutter assembly 12 may be fed a web of paper or other such material which contains printed indicia spaced therealong. The cutter assembly 12 cuts the web into inidicia-bearing sheets. The sheets may comprise, for example, labels to be applied to bottles, or blanks to be formed into paper cups, among other possibilities. The sheets described in the following description are of circular configuration, but it will be appreciated that sheets of any shape can be effectively handled.
It will also be appreciated that the present invention need not be associated with a cutting mechanism, but may simply be positioned to receive sheets fed thereto, as will become apparent from the following discussion.
The sheet handling mechanism 10 includes a lapping portion 18 which arranges the sheets in mutually lapped relationship, and a stacking portion 20 which arranges the lapped sheets into a horizontal stack in which the individual sheets are vertically oriented.
The handling mechanism 10 includes a framework 22 including laterally spaced, upstanding side frames, each including a lower portion 26 and an offset upper portion 28. Mounted for rotation in the upper side frame portion 28 is a sheet acceleration roll 30 (FIGS. 2 and 9). The roll 30 is mounted on a horizontal shaft 32 which is rotatably carried at its ends in bearings 34 mounted in the upper side frame portion 28. The shaft 32 is driven by a positive drive from the shaft of the die wheel by means of a gear box schematically depicted at 36 in FIG. 9. The gearing is designed to rotate the acceleration roll 30 at a slightly faster speed than the die wheel, as desired.
Rotatably mounted beneath the acceleration roll 30 is a back-up or pressure roll 38. This pressure roll 38 is rotatably mounted on a stub shaft 40 that is mounted on a member 46 to be discussed below. A pair of retaining collars 44 are positioned on the stub shaft 40 on opposite sides of the pressure roll 38.
The acceleration and pressure rolls 30, 38 are formed of highly resilient material such as rubber or soft plastic, for example, and define an acceleration nip which receives sheets from the cutter assembly 12. As noted above, the acceleration roll 30 is driven at such speed that the sheets received are accelerated to a greater speed.
Upstream of the acceleration roll 30 is positioned a guide plate 46 (FIG. 10). The plate 46 includes a surface 47 which slidingly supports sheets being delivered and which is aligned with the acceleration nip of the acceleration and pressure rolls 30, 38. The guide plate 46 includes a pair of legs 48 which straddle the acceleration roll 30. In this fashion, the surface 47 includes extensions which continue to guide the sheets on opposite sides of the acceleration nip. The support plate 46 is mounted on a cross-bar 42 and directly carries the stub shaft 40 described earlier.
During operation of the mechanism 10, sheets delivered to the acceleration nip are accelerated to greater speed and are discharged toward a conveying mechanism 50.
The conveying mechanism 50 comprises a suction box 52 (FIG. 3) around which an endless conveyor belt 54 travels. The suction box 52 comprises an enclosed chamber 53 which is formed by a bottom wall 56, side walls 58 (FIGS. 3 and 5) end walls 60, and a convex top wall 62 (convex as viewed in plan). The upper end portion of the top wall 62 is situated downstream of the acceleration nip, and the lower end portion of the top wall 62 is situated adjacent the stacking station 20.
The endless conveyor belt 54 is wrapped around a guide assembly comprising upper and lower guide drums 66, 68, a pair of tensioning rolls 70, 72, and the top wall 62 of the suction box 52. The upper and lower guide drums 66, 68 are mounted in the side frames 26 for rotation about parallel horizontal axes. A pressure roller 69 may be rotatably mounted beneath the drum 68. The tensioning rolls 70, 72 are adjustably mounted in slots 74, 76 so as to be able to vary the tension on the belt 54, in conventional fashion, and assure that the belt tightly presses against the top wall 62 of the suction box 52.
The lower drum 68 is power driven, as will be discussed, and tapers from its center toward its opposite ends to retain the belt 54 thereon. The upper drum 66 can likewise be tapered.
The top wall 62 includes a plurality of longitudinal slots 78 (FIG. 5) which are aligned in longitudinal rows extending from the upper end to the lower end of the suction box 52. The belt 54 includes a plurality of holes 80 which are aligned in longitudinal rows extending from the upper end to the lower end of the belt 54. During operation, the rows of holes 80 are arranged in alignment with corresponding rows of slots 78, so that the holes intermittently communicate with the suction chamber 53 during travel of the belt 54.
Communicating with the interior chamber 53 of the suction box 52 is a duct 82 (FIG. 3) which communicates with a conventional suction device (not shown). Operation of the suction device produces a vacuum within the chamber 53 which acts exteriorly of the belt 54 through the holes 80. Accordingly, sheets S fed onto the belt 54 will be sucked tightly against the belt 54 via suction forces acting through the holes 80. The upper end of the conveyor belt 54 is positioned slightly below the acceleration nip.
The conveyor 54 is power rotated in such manner that the conveyor speed is less than the tangential speed of the periphery of the acceleration roll 30. That is, the speed of sheets advanced by the acceleration roll 30 is greater than the speed of sheets advanced by the conveyor belt 54.
Accordingly, sheets which are fed by the acceleration roll 30 onto the belt 54, are immediately sucked against the belt 54 and are slowed in velocity.
The top wall 62 of the suction box 52 curves downwardly, and thus the conveyor belt 54 curves downwardly relative to the path along which sheets are discharged from the acceleration nip. Initial ones of the slots 78 are located along this downwardly curved portion of the belt 54.
In practice, a sheet S' (FIG. 3) discharged from the acceleration nip is advanced across and slightly above the upper portion of the conveyor belt 54. When the leading or front end of the sheet reaches the initial suction slots 78 of the suction box 52, it is suddenly sucked downwardly against the belt 54 and is immediately slowed in speed due to the slower speed of the belt 54. Accordingly, the trailing end T of the sheet S', which momentarily continues to travel at the speed and momentum imparted by the acceleration roll, tends to flip upwardly relative to the leading end of sheet S". Accordingly, the leading end L of a more rapidly oncoming succeeding sheet S" is able to pass therethrough. Thereafter, when the trailing end T descends atop the leading edge L of the succeeding sheet S", the sheets S', S" will be conveyed by the conveyor in lapped relationship. The sheets are fed in timed relationship to assure that all sheets become mutually lapped. A lapped relationship of about three quarters of an inch has been found acceptable in some instances.
The stacking station 20 comprises an upwardly open support trough 90 (FIG. 14) which is rigidly fastened at its front end 92 to the rigid framework 22 via bolts 94, and extends outwardly therefrom in unsupported, cantilever fashion. The outer end of the trough is closed by an end wall 95. Mounted on the support trough 90 in a horizontally extensible sheet-supporting mechanism 96. This mechanism 96 comprises a pair of rods 98 which pass through openings in a front wall 100 of the trough 90. Anti-friction bushings 102 formed of nylon or the like surround these openings to slidably carry the rods 98.
Extending upwardly from outer ends of the rods 98 is a sheet retaining plate 104 which includes a reaction surface 106 facing the conveyor belt 54. Mounted to an upper portion of the plate 104 is a wheeled carriage 108, the wheels 110 of which are positioned to travel freely along tracks formed by laterally bent flanges 112 of the trough 90. The wheels 110 are rotatably carried by downwardly bent ears 114 of the carriage.
A central portion of the front wall 100 of the trough is recessed and terminates at its upper end in the form of a sharpened scraping edge 116 which contacts the belt 54 and includes an inclined surface 118.
In practice, sheets S being conveyed by the belt 54 assume a substantially vertical orientation as they travel toward the stacking station 20. When the sheets lose contact with the vacuum of the suction box 52, i.e., as the sheets travel beyond final ones of the slots 78, the leading ends of the sheets tend to fall onto the rods 98. Any sheets which might tend to adhere to the belt 54 are scraped therefrom by the scraping edge 116.
Initially, the rods 98 are in a retracted position such that the plate 104 is situated closely adjacent the belt 54. As sheets collect on the rods 98, the initial sheet contacts the reaction surface 106 of the plate 104 and pushes the plate away from the conveyor. Accordingly, the rods 98 are extended to accommodate additional sheets. In this fashion, the carriage 108 travels along the trough 90 as the horizontal stack of sheets builds-up. The plate 104 holds the sheets in upright positions and maintains them in tight abutment with one another, since the plate 104 is displaced only in response to forces exerted thereagainst by the sheets themselves.
It is assured that the sheets will drop sequentially onto the rods 98 due to the fact that each successive sheet is underlapped in relation to the immediately preceding sheet.
During an initial build-up of sheets, displacement of the plate 104 and carriage 108 by the sheets is accomplished relatively easily. As the stack progresses in size, the weight thereof tends to act downwardly on the trough 90. Since the trough is unsupported at its outermost end 120, it will tend to deflect downwardly by an amount which is slight, but sufficient to enable gravity to aid in the further displacement of the carriage 108 and plate 106. Otherwise, as stacking progressed it could become very difficult for the arriving sheets to push against a long stack sufficiently to advance the plate.
As the rods 98 progress in their extended travel, they ride atop discs 122 which are carried by the trough 90. These discs 122 are formed of an anti-friction material such as nylon to facilitate travel of the rods.
Since the rods are extended during stacking, no friction occurs as would be the case if the rods were immovable. Moreover, the rods are displaced by a build-up of sheets, rather than by a separate drive mechanism so energy requirements are minimized.
The drive mechanism for the sheet handling mechanism is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Mounted coaxially with the anvil roller is a first gear 130. This gear 130 extends outwardly of a main housing part 132 of the mechanism on a shaft 134. This gear 130 is in driving relation with a second gear 136 which is mounted on an arm 138, the arm 138 being mounted on a shaft 140 extending from the main housing part 132. Keyed on the shaft 142 is a wheel 144 around which is wrapped a drive belt 146. The drive belt 146 is also wrapped around a variable pitch pulley 148 mounted on a shaft 150 which carries the lower drum 68 of the conveyor belt. In this fashion, rotation of the anvil roller 16 is transmitted to the conveyor belt 54 to drive the latter at a preselected speed relative to the cutting assembly 12.
The pulley 148 comprises separable flange portions 152 at each side. One side of the wheel is attached to a threaded rod 154 on which is mounted a manually rotatable knob 156. The rod passes through a stationary nut 158 so that rotation of the knob 156 changes the pitch of the pulley 148 to vary the belt speed.
In FIGS. 11 and 12 an alternative form of acceleration mechanism is depicted. A pair of resilient drive rolls 170 are rotatably mounted on a shaft 172 which is carried within slotted openings 174. The openings 174 are disposed on plates 176 which are affixed to the side frames 24 by bolts 178. The acceleration roll 180 comprises a cylinder which is rotatably mounted on an axle 182, the ends of the axle being mounted in the plates 176. The acceleration roll 180 carries three pairs of O-rings 184, 186, 188. The outside O-rings 184, 186 are in frictional contact with the drive rolls 170. The central O-rings 188 are in frictional contact with a pressure roll (not shown) which may be similar to the pressure roll 38 discussed earlier. The shaft 172 is adjustably mounted within the slotted openings 174 by means of threaded screws 190 so that the drive rolls 170 may be positioned in contacting relationship with the die roller 14 and the outer O-rings 184, 186. In this fashion, as the die roller 14 is driven, rotary motion is transmitted to the acceleration roll 180 to rotate the latter in appropriate speed ratio with the cutter assembly 12. Slippage therebetween is resisted by the use of O-rings 184, 186 which concentrate the contact forces in small areas.
In FIGS. 6 and 7 an alternative form of sheet delivery mechanism is depicted wherein the acceleration and pressure rolls 30, 38 have been eliminated. Instead, the sheets are fed directly to the conveyor 54 by the cutting assembly 12. As the sheets are discharged from the cutting assembly 12, they are guided through a slot 160 formed between a pair of upper and lower guide blocks 162, 164. These blocks are secured to the side frames 24 by bolts 166. The lower block 164 is recessed at its center 168 to accommodate passage of the upper end of the conveyor belt 54. As the sheets travel through the slot 160, they are maintained in a generally flat or planar condition, suitable for being sucked against the conveyor belt.
IN OPERATION of the present invention, a web is fed to the cutting assembly 12 wherein it is cut into sheets S. The sheets S are grabbed and accelerated by the acceleration roll 30. The leading end of an accelerated sheet S' (FIG. 3) is sucked onto a conveyor belt 54 and the trailing end T thereof flips upwardly to receive therebeneath the leading end L of a succeeding sheet S". Subsequently, the trailing end T of the preceding sheet S' assumes a position atop the leading edge L of the succeeding sheet S". Hence, the sheets S, S" are fed on the belt 54 in underlapped relationship.
A continuous stream of underlapped sheets is delivered to the stacking station 20. As the sheets are released from the suction forces, they fall onto the rods 98 in vertical orientation. The sheets fall in successive order due to being underlapped relative to the preceding sheet. As the sheets build-up on the rods 98, they force the carriage 108 away from the belt 54, thereby extending the rods 98 to accommodate additional sheets. The sheets, in effect, stack themselves in tight relationship. Continued build-up of the stack causes a slight downward bending motion of the cantilever-mounted support trough 90 so that gravity facilitates further displacement of the carriage 108 by the sheets.
As a result of the present invention, sheets are fed and stacked in rapid fashion. This is achieved by a simplified mechanism in which no specially operated sheet raising devices are required for producing an underlapped relation of the sheets. The underlapped sheets are fed by a single conveyor belt and, in effect, stack themselves in tight mutual abutment. The stacking is achieved with minimal friction and energy expenditure by the freely extensible rods. Gravity is utilized to facilitate stacking as the size of the stack grows and bends the cantilever-mounted trough.
Although the invention has described in connection with a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that additions, modifications, substitutions and deletions not specifically described may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Nice... I learn something new each day
Ok, I know this seems like it may not be necessary, but it can never hurt. Believe it or not, this book exists:
Part 1 - Basics
The search engine does not include any search terms that are less than 4 letters. Common terms like USB and DVD are tossed out so a search for USB DVD Drive only results in results for the word Drive which is pretty useless.
To get around this, make your 3 letter term a 4 letter one by using quotes and a space like this: "USB ""DVD "Drive. Notice how there is a space inside the quotes with USB and DVD. It will now give results that include USB, DVD and DRIVE.
Part 2 - Advanced Searching
Many times I am looking for a thread with a particular word in the title. Lets try Task Killer. As of today this query yields 96 results.
If I click on the Advanced Search and enter Task Killer and select Search Titles Only:
This yields only 2 threads.
There is also an option for posts by a user. If you are looking for something that was posted by a specific users and a keyword or two (perhaps buzzman's bluetooth iPhone tethering steps) by putting in Bluetooth iPhone and in the username buzzman
This yields 1 result, the exact post I was looking for.
Part 3 - Using Google to search the forum.
You can use Google to search any domain if you need to. simply add the phrase site:www.DOMAIN.com at the end of your query.
This will give you any results with Bluetooth, iPhone and buzzman on our site. It also allows you to use shorter phrases than our search (you can use two or three character words and not need quotes).
Now, you are probably saying to yourself, I will never remember the site:www.DOMAIN.com thing because I am not a Super Genius like Frederuco. If you ever forget, you can simply use the Advanced Search for Google by clicking the gear that is on the top right of the results page. Then select Advanced Search and in the Narrow Results By section add the domain in question where it says site or domain:
Part 4 - Other Forums
So you just bought an Infinity, Prime, TF300 or TF101 and you have a question. Do not skip over the forums for the other devices just because they are different. For the most part, they are very similar hardware, and the software is almost identical so long as you have upgraded to ICS or newer. Some devices will get JellyBean before others, but in general many answers are the same for all of the Asus tablets (or even other tablets). There are many of the exact same questions that new Infinity users are posting that were answered over a year ago for the TF101 on Honeycomb tablets (such as charging via USB), so browse through and search all of the forums and there is a good chance you can find the answer to your question without having to wait for someone to respond.
There you go. Hopefully that was not too painful, long or boring.

I know this is listed in the first post but I think it's worthwhile "bumping" this information for new members and as a reminder...
This method seems to give better results than the stock forum search function:
Google search box:
search topic site:transformerforums.com
ie: microSD site:transformerforums.com
Last edited by Swipe; 09-06-2012 at 11:34 PM.
i found out something to add to the topic searching this forum effectively. if you use google search to search this domain an added benefit is you can search for phrases, like say "problem registering", will only return pages that actually have those two words together and not just on the same page. you can't do that in this site's search engine. you can put quotes in the search field but it will still only search for pages with one or both of those words and maybe 1% of them are actually put together.
anyone like me that's tried to search for a phrase will be glad to know this if they don't already. i don't know why so many search engines don't work with phrases.

OSU football: Cowboy coaches begin rebuilding process
STILLWATER — Glenn Spencer's first year as coordinator successfully rebuilt the image of Oklahoma State's defense.
Year 2 now requires a full rebuild.
The Cowboys lost seven senior starters from last season's group that ranked among the top 25 nationally in seven major categories, plus veteran and versatile safety Lyndell Johnson, who has been dismissed from the team for "personal reasons" as announced by head coach Mike Gundy.
Such was the stark reality Monday, the first day of spring practice at OSU.
"Today, we're not very good," Spencer said of his side of the ball. "But thankfully, we don't keep score today. And we've got many opportunities to get these unproven guys ready to compete at this level.
"The fun part about it is, I think this young group is really hungry. They're hungry to show what they can do. They're hungry to learn. And as a coaching staff, we can hammer in the core principles and values of what we believe in."
The new-look storyline extends throughout this team, which is without 37 members of its 70-man travel roster. Gone are 28 seniors, plus Johnson, centers Jake Jenkins and Travis Cross – who graduated and have decided to move on in their lives with eligibility remaining – and receiver Josh Stewart, who opted to leave early and enter the NFL Draft. Recovering from injuries and sitting out the spring: offensive linemen Devin Davis (knee) and Brandon Garrett (leg) and running back Desmond Roland (shoulder). And safety Larry Stephens and linebacker Demarcus Sherod will be limited.
Along with the significant defensive holes, the Cowboys are also in need of a new quarterback, three starters for the offensive line and new go-to guys at receiver, although that's at least a position brimming with potential and possibilities.
"We've got some work ahead of us just to catch up," Gundy said. "What that means is we have a lot of young players we have to bring along in the next few weeks. But we also have to be a little careful how we handle them from a rep standpoint, and bring them along slowly.
"And we need every practice we can get."
At least the offense offers some known commodities, like young receivers Jhajuan Seales, Brandon Sheperd and Marcell Ateman, who dazzled with potential last season.
Even at quarterback, J.W. Walsh has started and won games over the course of two seasons.
On defense, however, the mass turnover is concerning, even for Spencer.
"As far as the numbers who are going to have that opportunity, that are unproven," Spencer said, "there's a lot more than what I've been around."
And for now, there's also a search for defensive leaders, compounding the challenges of restoring the unit ASAP, considering the seriousness of next season's opener against defending national champion Florida State.
"Let's talk about that in three weeks, to see who kind of earns that," Spencer said of the leadership roles. "Because right now, there' really nobody who has earned that for me to vocally say, 'That's a guy we can count on.' There's nobody right now who has done that."
On the bright side for one group of players – youngsters seeking their breakthrough – here's their opportunity.
Jobs are open, and competition is encouraged and expected. While some stand out as favorites in certain position battles, starting roles won't be just handed over.
"And they know it," Spencer said. "We've had a bunch of meetings in the offseason. It started with their approach in the weight room and their approach at the offseason training and running, making the statement about how good you want to be and what it really means to you, as opposed to just giving it lip service."
The Cowboys count key figures at the starting spots on defense in tackle James Castleman, end Jimmy Bean, linebacker Ryan Simmons and cornerback Kevin Peterson. Ofa Hautau played important snaps last fall and should line up next to Castleman at tackle. Ends Emmanuel Ogbah, Sam Wren and Trace Clark all offer experience and upside. Same with Seth Jacobs and Kris Catlin at linebacker, where junior college addition Devante Averette also joins the mix. Ashton Lampkin moves from a key backup role into the starter's job opposite Peterson at corner, while sophomores Deric Robertson and Jordan Sterns will need to come on fast at safety.
While their names might not be so familiar now, that doesn't mean the Cowboys are lacking talent or playmakers. It just means they're largely unproven or inexperienced.
"In the games, people only get to see the one-deep," Peterson said. "They don't get to see the two-deep. And the two-deep goes through the same practices, the same workouts, the same everything that the one-deep goes through. They're just in a secondary role. But they get their chance to play this year. And especially in spring ball, we get to see what the guys can do.
"It's going to be fun to see how this plays out."
Gundy spent a lot of time in his Monday press conference pointing out what was lost and/or missing with this team. Yet, he said, it was meant as an update, not in any way meant to create panic among the fan base.
"I didn't want to be the grim reaper here," Gundy said. "Oklahoma State is fine. We're fine. We've just got a lot of young players. There's a lot of opportunity for young guys."

Police looking for teenage girl in connection with shooting
Published: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 10:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 10:54 a.m.
OCALA - Detectives from the Ocala Police Department have probable cause to arrest a 16-year-old teenage girl in connection to a botched robbery where she accidentally shot her accomplice in the shoulder at an apartment complex on Monday, according to authorities.
Passion L. Jackson, whos 5-feet-5 and weighs 115 pounds, will be charged with one count of aggravated battery, officials say.
The incident occurred at Parkside Gardens Apartments, 621 N.W. Second St. Officers responded to the location shortly after 4 p.m. after receiving a call about shots being fired in the area.
A witness told officials several people who were inside a vehicle, went to the complex to visit friends, when three people, whose faces were concealed, approached the car. One of the masked persons, later identified as Toney Terrell Franklin, 20, pointed a gun at a woman who was standing by the vehicle, and also at the people that were in side.
The woman grabbed the gun, trying to prevent the robbery, while the driver drove away.
At that time, officials say a second gunman, later identified as Passion, who was behind the first robber, opened fire, hitting him in the left shoulder.
The first gunman, identified as Franklin, was taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center with a non-life threatening injury.
Franklin was charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
If anyone knows about Passions whereabouts can call the OPD at 369-7000, Crime Line 369-6071, Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.

Democracy, equality, capitalism, and progress are framing ideas so fundamental today, yet all four are coming under various kinds of pressure. Does democracy work? What does equality mean? Is capitalism sustainable, ecologically or socially? Is progress real, and, if it is, can it also go backward? This seminar examines this issue through an historical examination of these four ideas. We will focus on competing understandings of the relationship between the political order (today widely assumed to be democratic in some form if it is to be legitimate) and the economic order (today widely assumed to be a version of free-market capitalism). Throughout, we will consider how conceptions of progress and equality provide essential support for versions of these accounts of the relationship between economics and politics. This is a year long course.

guys just wondering, is there any known issues installing Kmeaw CFW on a slim? any models that cant be used etc. i been running it on my fats for a while but my mate wants me to install it on his.
nope no known issues man my buddy has it on his slim n plenty others do kmeaw has no bad reports on slims are fats.
I have slim one, 120GB. nothing bad about it , and it's working great on 3.55 KMEAW with MM.
There are no issues with it. I have a Slim 120 (with a 500 GB drive now) and it runs fine. I have also installed Slim 80 and a Fat 60 without any issues. Just remember, Kmeaw does not have a BD Emulator payload built in, so you will need to add one. If you are using MulitMan, simply download the BDEMU.PKG attached to its thread and install that.
i had it running on more than one fat, installed on slim tonight. no issues.

Thank you!
It's been awhile since I had a nursling, but I do remember my ds1 doing this. The advice I was given really worked. I would brush my nipple against his lower lip, and wait until he opened his mouth really wide. Then I would bring my breast to his mouth instead of him moving his head to latch on. I don't know if he was just so excited to nurse that made him lunge and clench when he latched on, but that did seem to work.

it does help to kinda cram your breast in baby's mouth quickly lol we go through this also. when my daughter is teething, her teeth scrape when latching on(even now at 9 months) and if i am quick with it, she doesn't scrape me.
drowning in hormones with 4 daughters and an understanding, loving hubby. also some dogs. my life is crazy and we are always learning.
My kiddo does that sometimes too. He's 9 months. I have found he does it most when not really paying attention to how he's latching. I try to get his attention and say something like "gentle" or " no biting". That has helped a bit. Also when he does bite, even in the very beginning, I'll unlatch him and say "no biting!" and wait a second before latching him again.

With Dollar the tyres and screen are not covered by the gold or platinum insurance. It costs $4 a day extra for that.
We've had a few trips back and forth to car rental this time and we spoke to a really helpful guy in the garage. He said that if you have a flat and you don't pay the extra then Dollar's roadside assistance won't cover you for this. You will have to get recovery yourself and get the tyre either fixed or replaced. With the windscreen it's exactly the same if something happens roadside you aren't covered.
I was talking to Tink about this last night funnily enough.
We actually paid for it in our third trip to the airport to take back the Traverse we had. The tyre pressure warning kept going off, Chris would put air in and then the next day it would be low again. We took it back and said it had a knocking noise. After that he just took out the insurance.
Virgin Holiday's car rental includes tyres and screens and according to Tishy so do Alamo Brits.

David Ferrer — Getty Images
Ferrer, who would have been the favorite to make the finals out of his side after Novak Djokovic was later upset by Stanislas Wawrinka, not only made contact with a linesman while he was attempting to put his towel down, but it was a little more than just a friendly brush aside for the 31-year-old Spaniard.
If you check the rulebook for Grand Slams you'll see that "unauthorized touching" is prohibited and it sure looks like Ferrer did enough there to at least land himself a fine that could reach $20,000.
After his loss Ferrer said "it was nothing," but it still is just enough to possibly land him a fine after the subtle shove of the official.
Personally, I think Ferrer will land a small fine because he obviously makes contact with the linesman and it sure didn't look like he was playfully moving the guy out of the way. These rules are in place to keep officials safe on the court, and while it doesn't look like a ton when you first see it, the line has to be drawn and a fine seems inevitable for Ferrer after this small shove.

Risk factors are those things that increase your chance of having a certain disease, like a stroke. Some risk factors can't be changed, like your sex or age. Some risk factors can be changed, like overweight or lack of exercise.
There are differences between stroke risk factors in men and women. Some stroke risk factors:
Only affect women. Examples are pregnancy or having diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes)
Occur in both men and women, but are more likely to lead to stroke in women. Examples are diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension).
Affect both men and women in about the same way. Examples are your age and smoking.
Some risk factors can only occur if you are a woman. They are:
Being pregnant
Preeclampsia, a condition with high blood pressure when you are pregnant
Gestational diabetes
Taking birth control pills
Taking hormone replacement after menopause
Changing hormone levels
Stroke risk factors in women and men
These risk factors occur in both women and men, but are more likely to increase the risk of stroke in women:
Migraine headache with aura, a severe headache with certain symptoms just before the headache
Atrial fibrillation, a fast, irregular heartbeat
Diabetes mellitus
High blood pressure
These risk factors increase the risk of stroke in both women and men:
Being inactive
Older age
Previous heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease
Being overweight
Unhealthy diet (for example, high in fat, cholesterol, and sugar; low in fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and olive oil)
Metabolic syndrome, a group of findings and lab test results that increase the chance of stroke, heart attack, and diabetes
The abnormal lab results and findings include blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides, blood pressure, and overweight
Talk with your health care provider about your risk factors and what you can do to lower your risk of stroke.
