B22d 21/02 U.S. Cl. 164-19 15 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The disclosure describes the manufacturing of a die, mold, ory other article by building up on a substrate a spray-deposit of metal, while maintaining the deposited -metal in a temperature range sufficiently high that the metal coating will be dense and will not peel away from the substrate. In the case of female dies, etc., the substrate is so constructed that it will be fractured by the metal due to thermal contraction of the latter after heating, thereby preventing the metal from cracking, and facilitating separation of the metal from the substrate, while maintaining the shrinkage of the metal part at a minimum. The spray-deposit is made -by arc equipment, in an oxidizing atmosphere.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the invention The yfield to which the present invention relates is that of making dies, molds, etc., by spray-depositing metal onto a substrate, and thereafter separating the metal from the substrate so that the metal surface which was in contact with the substrate then becomes the die or mold surface. Stated more definitely, the eld is that of making dies, molds, etc., including dies for use at high pressures and, frequently, at high temperatures. Thus, the dies may be used for the hot-press forming of various metals (e.g., steel).
Description of the prior art Many prior-art workers have attempted to make satisfactory dies, molds, etc., by spray-coating metal and/or other substances onto substrates. However, such prior-art processes were unsatisfactory yand decient in various respects, some of the deficiencies being briey outlined in the following subparagraphs:
(1) The spray-deposited coating would crack, particularly where the coating was suciently thick to impart a high degree of strength to the mold or die.
(2) The spray-deposited coating would peel or lift away from the substrate during the spray-coating operation. Again, such peeling or lifting is particularly prevalent relative to thicker spray-deposited coatings such as are required for strong molds and dies. The peeling is especially diflcult to prevent when the part is relatively large and/or has substantially planar surfaces.
(3) The separation of the sprayed-on coating from the substrate, after completion of the spraying operation, was difficult to accomplish and sometimes resulted in damage to the ,die or mold.
(4) Many processes were limited to low-temperature metals, which are characterized by insufficient hardness and heat resistance for numerous molding operations.
(5) Even in the case of dies formed of relatively high-temperature metals, the die surfaces were not sufiiciently hard to withstand the wear inherent in longrun molding operations.
(6) The sprayed-on metal coatings were relatively porous, not having sufficient density to receive la good polish.
3,506,057 Patented Apr. 14, 1970 ICC SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with one aspect of the present method the metal spray-deposited on a substrate is maintained at a high temperature throughout the continuance of the spray-coating operation, the temperature of the exposed surface of the metal being at least 1000 degrees F. Such heating has been found to prevent even relatively thick spray-coatings from peeling or lifting away from the substrate surface. A further major advantage is that the sprayed-on coating is dense, being capable of receiving a good polish. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the substrate adapted to form a female die is so constructed that it will be broken or fractured by the relatively thick sprayed-on metal coating during cooling of the latter after discontinuance of the heating operation. This provides at least three important effects, namely prevention of cracking of the thick coating, facilitation of the removal of the substrate from the metal, and minimization of the shrinkage of the metal during the cooling step. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the spraycoating is a mild steel or other oxidizable substance which is spray-applied in an oxidizing atmosphere in order that dispersed oxides will be formed, thereby substantially increasing the hardness of the mold or die.
The present method solves the above-specified and other problems of the prior art, and forms a thick, hard, wear-resistant and temperature-resistant die having a smooth forming surface capable of receiving a good polish, the die being dense and (in the case of female dies) being characterized by dimensional changes during cooling which are sufficiently small that they are very easy to predict and compensate for.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring rst to FIGURE 1, the rst step in the method comprises providing a pattern or model which, in the case of a process for manufacturing a female mold or die, is a female element. Thus, in the illustration, the pattern or model is formed by four side elements 10-13 and a bottom element 14 all cooperating to define a generally rectangular cavity which is open at the upper end. The wall of such cavity (the interior surfaces of elements -14) is indicated at 16` and is the surface which it is desired to reproduce in the female die or mold (which die then will be used to form male surfaces). It is emphasized that the illustrated rectangular cavity is only exemplary, and that numerous complex or simple shapes and surfaces may be provided.
The second step in the method comprises conforming to the cavity Wall 16 a substance (hereinafter termed the substrate) which has such characteristcs that it may be sprayed with metal in order to form a mold, die or other element made in accordance with the present method. At least the surface of the substrate must be capable of withstanding heating to a high temperature without decomposing. The substrate should, preferably, Ibe characterized by relatively low shrinkage during and after casting. Fused silica cement is a desirable substance for this purpose. For example, a slip-cast fused silica cement which is marketed under the trademark Glasrock may be employed. Such cement is a castable, hydraulic setting material and is described in a book by I. D. Walton and N. E. Poulos, entitled Special Report No. 43, published by the Engineering Experiment Station, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Ga. In addition to the indicated slip-cast fused silica cement, various other substrate materials may be utilized. Thus, various ceramic substances may be employed.
The above-indicated slip-cast fused silica cement (or other suitable substrate substance) is mixed with water and introduced into the cavity defined by wall 16, following which a rectangular plug 18 (supported by a support member 19) is inserted into the cavity in order to cause the fused silica cement to assume the shape of a hollowbox substrate 20 which is open at one end. It is again emphasized that the hollow-box shape is only exemplary of numerous hollow (concave) substrates which could be employed. However, as will be described below, the thickness of the substrate may be one factor determining the strength or frangibility thereof.
It is to be understood that the substrate 20 may be cured by various techniques. Thus, for example, in the case of the indicated slip-cast fused silica cement described in such Special Report No. 43, the as-cast material is allowed to set for approximately twenty-four hours while covered with a plastic covering adapted to retain most moisture, following which the substrate is permitted to set for an additional twenty-four hours. Thereafter, the plug 18 is pulled and substrate 20l is removed from the cavity and placed in an oven which is indicated at 21 in FIGURE 2. In such oven, or elsewhere, the substrate 20 is cured at 220 degrees F. for three days, being then dried at 350 degrees F. to 400 degrees F. for two days. It is emphasized that these values are merely exemplary, and that the time required to complete the substrate may be made drastically shorter than that indicated above.
The wall elements 10-14 and the plug 18 are, prior to introducing the moldable substrate material therein, coated with suitable release agents. As one example, the release means may comprise several coats of lacquer on wooden elements 10-14 and 18, the lacquer being then dried and coated with paste wax which is thereafter lightly dusted with boron nitride powder.
Referring next to FIGURE 3, the substrate 20 (which has been formed as described above relative to FIG- URES 1 and 2) is shown as having an exterior (convex) surface 23 and an interior (concave) surface 24. Exterior surface 23 is a reproduction (or negative) of the aboveindicated model or pattern surface 16 (the interior surfaces of elements 10-14). Correspondingly, inner surface 24 is a reproduction or negative of the surface of plug 18. In the illustrated embodiment, the plug surfaces and pattern surfaces are spaced relatively constant distances apart, so that the wall thickness of substrate 20 is substantially uniform.
The next step in the method comprises bringing the substrate 20, or at least the surface thereof adapted to be spray-coated, up to a predetermined temperature range to be specified below. Thus, the substrate 20 may be heated in the oven 21, for example, for a time period on the order of four hours and to a temperature in-the range of 1600 degrees F. to 1800 degrees F. The indicated temperature is somewhat above the predetermined spraycoating range (to Ibe stated below) for mild steel, this being because of the fact that a certain amount of cooling of the substrate occurs during the short period which elapses subsequent to removal from the oven 21 and prior to initiation of the spray-coating operation. It is pointed out that the heating of the substrate may also be effected in various other ways. However, the ovenheating step is advantageous in that it provides a uniform and relatively high temperature throughout the substrate 20.
The next step in the method comprises applying a thick spray-coating of metal onto the exterior surface 23 of substrate 20 while maintaining such metal coating in a predetermined temperature range (described below) which is: (a) adapted to prevent the metal from peeling or lifting away from the surface 23 despite the fact that the metal coating is relatively thick, and (b) adapted to cause densification of the spray-coating. The metal spray-coating is indicated at 25 and forms, as shown in FIGURE 5, a female die or mold element (illustrated as box-shaped in the present drawing) having an interior or concave surface 26 which is an accurate reproduction (negative) of the exterior substrate surface 23.
The metal spray-coating 25 is applied (FIGURE 3) through use of an arc metallizing process wherein consumable metal wires are progressively arc-melted and then blown against the substrate surface 23 by means of a blast of air or other suitable gas. Stated more definitely, first and second consumable metal wires 27 and 28 supplied by reels 29 and 30 are fed through guides 32. The tips of the wires are located in proximity with each other and in the path of an air blast from a conduit 33 leading to a suitable air-pressure source 34. A supply 36 of electrical power, preferably D.C. power, is connected to the guides 32 (and thus to the wires 27 and 28) by means of conductors 37 and 38. The current from power source 36 causes melting of the tips of both wires by electric arc heating and also, during some intervals, by resistance heating, with resultant air-blasting of stripped molten particles of metal onto the substrate surface 23. Suitable means, not shown, are provided to feed the wires 27 and 28 at a rate correlated to the rate of melting of the wire tips.
During the indicated spraying operation, the temperature of the spray-applied coating is maintained in the predetermined temperature range, this being effected (for example) by continuously heating the substrate 20 as by rneans of a suitable torch apparatus. In the schematic representation of FIGURE 3, a multi-headed torch apparatus 39, supplied with gas (or gases) from a source 41, has a multiplicity of nozzles 42 which are directed against various portions of the interior surface 24 of substrate 20. For example, the apparatus 39 may be of the Oxy-acetylene type. Preferably, each nozzle 42 is adapted to discharge a high-temperature effluent or jet 43 over a wide area of surface 24.
Continuous relative movement is effected between the apparatus 39 and the interior substrate surface 24 in order to effect uniform heating of the substrate, it being understood that the heat thus applied to interior surface 24 is conducted through the substrate 20 to the exterior surface 23 and thus to the coating 25 thereon.
Instead of or in addition to heating the interior surface 24, the exterior surface of the coating 25 may be heated directly. This may be done, for example, by locatwall thickness. Care should be taken to maintain the ,f
spray-applied coating in the necesary temperature range without, however, causing sufficient heating of the interface between coating 25 and substrate 20 to effect a reaction therebetween. Such a reaction, which may occur when the heat is excessive, causes a roughening of the interface with consequent damage to the female mold surface 26 (FIGURE 5) which it is desired to achieve.
The application of the spray-coating onto the substrate surface 23 is preferably effected as rapidly as possible, there being a relatively rapid relative movement between the metallizing apparatus and the substrate.
After conclusion ofthe spray-coating operation, the substrate 20 and coating 25 are cooled to ambient. This may be effected relatively slowly, for example at a rate of 200 degrees F. per hour. Also, if desired, the substrate 20 and coating 25 may be oven-heated (for example, to 1800 degrees F.) before cooling is initiated.
During cooling, the metal coating 25 contracts slightly and, in accordance with one major feature of the present invention, effects fracture or crushing of the substrate 20 (which is frangible). For example, and as shown in FIG- URE 4, cracks 46 are formed in corner (and/or other) portions of the substrate 20 due to the contraction of the metal coating 25. The cracking of the substrate 20 in response to thermal contraction of coating 25 causes a reduction in the size of the substrate (in the present example, in the size of the box). This, therefore, relieves the stresses in the coating 25 to an extent suflicient to prevent the coating from cracking.
The next step comprises removing the substrate 20 to expose the female mold or die surface 2'6. Particularly because of the formation of the cracks 46, or other cracks, it is frequently possible to remove large portions of the substrate 20 by means of a hammer. Additionally or alternatively thereto, a grit blaster 47 (using, for example, 40 mesh chilled iro-n grit) may be employed to remove the substrate 20. The substrate material, such as the above-specified fused silica cement, is readily removed by means of a grit blaster. However, the die surface 26 is not deleteriously affected by the grit blasterI to any material extent.
The next step in the method comprises polishing the female die or mold surface 26, for example by means of the polishing apparatus represented schematically at 48. It has been found that the amount of polishing required is relatively small, and that the die surface 26 is an accurate and faithful reproduction of the substrate surface 23 which, in turn, is an accurate reproduction of the interior surface 16 of the model or pattern.
A description of the over-all process having been given above, there will next be described various relationships, etc., many of which are of critical importance to the invention.
A first critical relationship is that, as indicated above, the spray-applied coating 25 must be maintained in a predetermined relatively high temperature range during the continuance of the spray-coating operation. One purpose of thus heating the coating 25 is to prevent it from peeling or lifting away from the surface 23. Such peeling or lifting is especially pronounced (in the absence of appropriate heating of the substrate) as the coating thickness is increased. A second puipose of maintaining the coating 25 at a high temperature is to cause densication thereof.
The coating 25 is therefore maintained at a temperature a cu sufliciently high to prevent the above-indicated peeling or lifting of the coating away from the substrate, and to effect densification, but sufficiently low to prevent melting of the coating and also to prevent the previously-mentioned adverse reaction at the interface between coating and substrate.
Stated more definitely, the coating temperature should be maintained sufficiently high that the temperature of the exposed surface of coating 25 (adjacent the spray-coating apparatus) is at least about 1000 degrees F. where the Y coating metal is of the desired temperature-resistant and wear-resistant type such as mild steel, stainless steel, various ferrous alloys, etc. In the case of mild steel, such as (for example) when the consumable wires 27 and 28 are formed of the low carbon steel SAE 1010; the temperature of the entire surface of the coating 25 should be such that it is a dark red, in the range, of about 1100 degrees F. to about 1200 degrees F.
Factors such as the time delay following removal of the substrate 20 from the oven 21, and the rate of relative movement between the spray torch apparatus and the substrate, should be controlled in such manner that the exposed coating surface does not reach the bright cherry red range since this may (for substrates such as the abovespecified fused silica cement) provide the indicated harmful reaction at the interface. However, for other and more temperature-resistant substrates, higher temperatures (but below the melting point of the coating) are sometimes desirable. It is pointed out that, although the air from source 34 is at room temperature, the molten droplets transmitted from the torch to the substrate are (for many coatings) initially at a temperature in excess of 2000 degrees F. which may, unless there is a sufficient rate of traverse between the torch and the substrate, create excessive localized heating of the previously-deposited coating.
As indicated above, the density of the coating has been found to be very much higher, in the case of a coating substance applied to a substrate (or previously-deposited coating) in the indicated temperature range, than in the case of coating substances applied to substrates (or previously-deposited coatings) which are at room temperature or are otherwise far below the indicated temperature range. A high-density coating is important relative to such factors as wear, strength, ability to take a good polish, resistance to cracking, etc.
A second critical relationship, and which is particularly relevant to the formation of a female or concave mold 25, is that the substrate 20 is so composed and constructed that it will crush or break as the metal coating 25 cools. Stated more definitely, the substrate 20 is so composed and constructed that it will resist thermal shrinkage of the metal coating 25, and thereby maintain the shrinkage of such coating at a minimum, but will nevertheless ultimately crack or break to thereby prevent cracking or breaking of the lcoating 25. Several important results are thus achieved, including the following: (l) Coating 25 may be made thick, yet will not crack during cooling despite that fact that the substrate 20 may be large and characterized by the presence of planar surfaces, and (2) cracking or breaking of the substrate 20 facilitates removal thereof from the spray-formed die or mold.
In addition, and as indicated above, the substrate 20 is preferably ca-used to have a strength sufficient to provide a substantial initial resistance to shrinkage of the coating 25 Without, however, being sufficiently strong to cause failure .or distortion of any pant of such coating. This factor maintains the dimensional stability of the coating 25 at a maximum, and facilitates achieving a female die having a surface 26 (FIGURE 5) which is an accurate reproduction of the model or pattern surface reproduced thereby (namely the model or pattern surface 1'6 described in connection with FIGURE l).
The substrate 20 may be made sufiiciently weak (that is to say, caused to be in the desired strength range) in an empirical manner, or stress analysis may be employed to compare the strength of the substrate 2) to that of a coating 25 of the desired thickness. It is also pointed out that points of weakness, stress risers, saw cuts, etc., may be incorporated in the substrate at various locations in order to increase and localize (when desired) the regions of breakage. l
As one example, a substrate 20 formed of the abovedescribed Glasrock fused silica cement was employed to form a mild steel die 25 having a thickness on the order of 3A; inch to 1/2 inch. For such a die, the substrate was caused to have a uniform thickness of 1/2 inch. The size of each face of the substrate (surface 23) was 5 inches Iby 5 inches. When the substrate 20 of the indicated size and thickness was employed to -form the mild steel coating 25 (for example, SAE 1010), the fracture of the substrate occurred upon cooling, and no cracks formed in the coating or die 25. On the other hand, in an identical situation except that the wall thickness of the substrate was increased to 3/ inch, the die 25 cracked upon cooling whereas the substrate did not.
The resistance presented by the substrate '20 to shrinkage of the coating 25 is evidenced by the fact that the female die 25 exhibits much less shrinkage than do comparable male dies (which are formed as will be described relative to FIGURE 6). This is because the femaie die, when it tends to shrink, is restrained by the su-bstrate 20 whereas the male die is unrestrained during shrinkage. It is pointed out, however, that the die dimensions can be predicted and controlled even in the case of male dies although the prediction and control is much simpler in the case of female dies because of the abovestated minimum dimensional changes).
The present method, particularly the portion thereof which relates to the manufacture of female dies and moids, etc., contemplates the use of frangible substrates which are non-metallic, and are capable of being sprayed at high temperatures. Furthermore, such substrates are characterized by coefficients of thermal expansion which are lower than those of the metal coatings applied thereto. Therefore, as stated in detail above, the metal coating will contract more than will the substrate upon discontinuance of heating, thus causing the indicated fracture of the substrate by the contracting metal.
It is pointed out that the non-metallic substrate rnaterials described herein are relatively porous, and inexpensive to manufacture, form and remove. Furthermore, they are readily constructed in such lmanner that the requisite substrate failure will occur during cooling of the metal coating, thereby preventing failure of the coating itself.
It is emphasized that relatively thick-walled dies are necessary in order that they may be handled without bending or Ibreakage, and in order that they may withstand the stresses and the wear inherent in various forming and molding operations. especially hot-forming operations. In accordance with the present invention, the dies may be made relatively thick, without peeiing away from the substrates, because of the above-specified maintaining of the substrates and coatings in the predetermined temperature range during the continuance of the spray-coating operations. Furthermore, and because the dies are thick, the substrates may also be made relatively thick Without being so strong that cracking of the coatings or dies Iwill occur during thermal shrinkage. Relatively thick substrates are thus made possible, which is desired in that extremely thin substrates are diicult to cast and handle.
An important feature of the present method is that it will produce a mild steel die, for example, having a relatively hard and wear-resistant die surface 26 (FIGURE 5). It has been found that the spray application of the mild steel from wires 27 and 28 (FIGURE 3), in the presence of air from source 34, creates a spray-coating 25 which is characterized by the inclusion of dispersed iron oxides which increase the hardness of the die surface 26. Thus, the die has wear capabilities which are greater than in the case of mild steel applied by other processes. Mild steel has been found to be particularly advantageous as a die material for the present process, it being understood, however, that other metals and metal alloys (particularly ferrous) may be utilized as indicated above.
Although the die 25 is caused to be suiciently thick that it' may be employed where high strength is necessary, for example in the hot-press forming of steel, it is pointed out that the die is not so thick that it requires substantial amounts of metal, or is excessively heavy. In his respect, the dies formed by the present invention are superior to dies which are carved out of masses of metal.
The dies of the present invention may be backed up in various ways in order to increase the over-all rigidity of the die surfaces. The backup means may include frames, substances employed lbehind the dies, substances cast around the dies, etc.
The spray-coating apparatus illustrated and described relative to FIGURE 3 may be used, for example, with the following operating parameters in order to spraydeposit the indicated miid stee'l wires 27 and 28: Operating current, 250 amperes; operating voltage, 26 volts; atomizing air pressure, 45 p.s.i. gauge; spray distance between the `wire tips and the substrate, 8 to 10 inches; wire diameter, 1/16 inch. In connection with the spray distance, it is pointed out that the showing of FIGURE 3 is not in proportion in that the spray torch is normally farther from the substrate than is there illustrated.
EMBODIMENT OF FIGURE 6v The present invention is particularly adapted to the manufacture of female molds, dies, etc. However, certain aspects of the invention are applicabie to the manufacture of male dies and other elements, as will next be described relative to FIGURE 6'.l
The substrate 20, manufactured as described in detail above, is pre-heated as stated heretofore and then sprayed through use of the described apparatus in order to form the coating 25a. However, the coating 25a is applied to the interior surface 24 of the substrate instead of to the exterior surface 23 thereof. During the continuance of the spray-coating operation, the spray-deposited coating is maintained in the desired temperature range, for .example 4by means of the apparatus 39a which corresponds to the apparatus 39 except that it is adapted to heat the entire exterior of the substrate 2ii instead of the interior thereof. Also, as stated heretofore, the coating may be heated directly.
After the deposit 25a has been built up to the desired thickness, and allowed to cool, it is removed from the substrate '20 in order that the exterior surface S6 thereof may serve as a male die, for example. The surface 50 is polished as described relative to FIGURE 5.
When the deposited metal 25a cools, it shrinks away from interior surface 24 of substrate 20, so that the substrate does not normally crack. As stated above, the amount of shrinkage of the coating 25a is substantiaily greater than the amount of shrinkage of the above-indicated coating 25.
The words concave and convex are used in this specification and claims in a very lbroad sense, respectively denoting depressed and bulging or protuberant. The words do not necessarily imply roundness or sphericity, applying also to surfaces having flat surfaces or portions.
The foregoing detailed description is to be clearly understood as given by way of illustration and example only, -the spirit and scope of this invention being limited solely by the appended claims.

Joey Crawford Leaps Through The Air To Stop a Free-Throw (Video)
Referee Joey Crawford has done a lot of strange/stupid things over the course of his NBA officiating career, and you can add his latest antics to that list. Watch as Joey Crawford leaps through the air to stop Nikola Mirotic's free-throw attempt during Sunday's game between the Bulls and Clippers:
James Harden Kicked LeBron James in the Groin (Video)
What's more painful: Missing two free-throws with 4.2 seconds remaining in overtime and your team trailing by one, or getting kicked in the groin by the dude who may end up edging you out for NBA MVP honors? LeBron James is best suited to answer such a question. The Cavs' all-star scored a game-high 37 points, but […]
Kevin Garnett Ejected For Spiking Basketball (Video)
Kevin Garnett has been ejected from numerous games over the course of his 20-year career in the NBA. Most of those ejections were likely warranted, but the same can't be said for his latest ejection, which came during last night's 101-97 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Playing with one technical foul to his name already, […]
DeMar DeRozan Attempts 360 Dunk vs. Knicks, Misses (Video)
This botched 360 dunk by DeMar DeRozan during last night's game was so bad, you'd almost think he was playing FOR the Knicks. As it happens, he was playing AGAINST the Knicks, which makes it that much more embarrassing. And as if that wasn't already enough, the Raptors would go on to lose the game […]
Louisville's Montrezl Harrell Threw Down This Monster Alley-Oop (Video)
The Louisville Cardinals improved to 23-6 overall and 11-5 in the ACC following an 81-59 victory over the Florida State Seminoles earlier today. It was a dominating effort for the Cards that was highlighted by this ridiculous alley-oop from 6'8″ forward Montrezl Harrell. Check it out: Harrell finished the game with 16 points, four rebounds, […]
Alexey Shved Hook Shot Goes 20-Feet Over The Backboard (Video)
I'm not quite sure what to say about this Alexey Shved hook shot, other than "that is sooooo New York Knicks." Check it out: Despite that sad attempt, the sad Knicks still managed to beat the sad Pistons in double overtime, 121-115. I don't envy the poor fool who had to sit through that entire game.
Check Out The Dent In Russell Westbrook's Head (Pic)
Russell Westbrook was taken to a Portland-area hospital after taking a knee to the head from OKC Thunder teammate Andre Roberson with 2.5 seconds remaining in their 115-112 loss to the Trail Blazers Friday night. The knee occurred as the Thunder guard was trying to get his own rebound after an intentionally-missed free-throw, and it left […]
FSU's Xavier Rathan-Mayes Scores 30 Points in 4:38, Noles Still Lose (Video)
Xavier Rathan-Mayes. Remember that name. (You've already forgotten it, haven't you? It's ok. It's a tough name to remember.) Xavier put on nothing less than a legendary performance last night, scoring 30 points in 4 minutes and 38 seconds while trying to guide his Florida State Seminoles back to victory against Miami. Sadly, the Noles […]
Tonight's Kevin Garnett Homecoming Will Give You Goosebumps (Video)
Six days ago, KG was traded from the Brooklyn Nets to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Thaddeus Young.

Last night, a exciting battle between the Big Ten's top two teams unfolded at XFINITY Center, as the No. 14 Maryland Terrapins upset the No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers, 59-53. How exactly did the Terps pull off the upset? With hard work, determination, and a Maryland Flash Mob that seemed to get the crowd behind them in […]
76ers' Isaiah Canaan Hits Miracle Shot to Beat the Buzzer (Video)
Not much has gone right for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. They're a pathetic 12-44 on the season, and thanks to the even-more-pathetic New York Knicks, they still probably won't get the first overall draft pick in this summer's NBA Draft. But in the world of sports, every once in a while even the worst teams with […]
James Harden Crossover Shatters Ricky Rubio's Ankles (Video)
Ricky Rubio's poor ankles will never be the same following this James Harden crossover during Monday night's tilt between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Houston Rockets. Rubio's struggles in the defensive end of the court are well-documented, so seeing him squirm around on the floor while trying to defend one of the league's best scorers shouldn't […]
Check Out This LeBron James Jr. Highlight Tape (Video)
I'm going to resist all temptation to say that LeBron James Jr. is going to be the next LeBron James. At 10-years-old, it is much too early to place such high expectations on the son of the best basketball player on the planet right now. But it's still safe to say that LeBron James' son […]

Kevin Garnett Is Coming Home: Here's the Video
During Thursday's wild NBA Trade Deadline, the Minnesota Timberwolves provided the day's biggest head-scratcher when they acquired Kevin Garnett from the Brooklyn Nets for Thaddeus Young. Garnett is set to become a free agent this summer after earning $12-million this season, while Young still has $9.4-million this year and $10-million next year remaining on his contract. […]

Lawsuit claims day care fraud laws are too vague
License was revoked over food stamps conviction
As prosecutors continue to charge some day care operators with bilking the state for phantom children, new rules designed to prevent such fraud have put at least one honest child care provider out of business, according to her civil lawsuit.
Alma Brown contends the rules are unconstitutionally vague because they led the state Department of Children and Families to ban her forever from providing state-licensed child care over a 1991 conviction related to food stamps.
Before her license revocation, the lawsuit contends, she had never been subject of any complaints about the quality of her care or any fraud at Alma's Day Care Center, which she has run from her home at 2409 N. 4th St. for about 10 years.
The suit asks the Milwaukee County Circuit Court to review the administrative rulings against her. Brown is represented by Jill Kastner of Legal Action Wisconsin, which has similar challenges pending in other counties. Kastner said Tuesday at least a dozen other providers surrendered their licenses rather than risk revocation, which would make it harder for them to get licensed for other jobs such as a certified nursing assistant.
"At DCF, we are focused on keeping children safe, helping them thrive and being good stewards of tax dollars," said department spokeswoman Erika Monroe-Kane. "When an individual has been convicted of a felony related to receiving public funds, the law dictates that we revoke the provider's license. We follow the law."
According to her lawsuit, Brown received public assistance from 1986 through 1990, when she generally had no income. She did, however, briefly work at a retail store during the Christmas season but did not realize she had to report that income when she filled out food stamp applications months later.
In 1991, she pleaded guilty to failure to report income, her only criminal offense. Later, through W2, she became a licensed day care provider through DCF, which was aware of her conviction. Previously, only conviction of a violent crime or crime against children would bar someone from getting a license.
But in late 2009, in response to rampant fraud in the Wisconsin Shares program uncovered by the Journal Sentinel series "Cashing in on Kids," the Legislature added several background offenses for which a day care provider's license could be revoked permanently. Brown's offense is not among the specific enumerated offenses, but DCF contended it involved fraudulent activity.
Brown received notice in February that her license was revoked. She filed an administrative appeal, and DCF's final decision was issued Sept. 14. Brown filed her Circuit Court petition for review on Friday.
Her lawsuit contends that the new law doesn't define fraudulent activity, and that Brown's offense in 1991 involved no knowledge of wrongdoing or intent to defraud and therefore should not permanently ban her from having a state child care license.
"Even if it can be shown that a person with a prior nonviolent offense creates an unacceptable presumption of risk and therefore should be barred from a profession, it violates equal protection to force someone out of that profession after she has demonstrated presumption is untrue," the lawsuit reads.
Kastner said Brown, who is in her 50s, has been looking for other work all year and is now in danger of losing her home to foreclosure.

We did. The price on the Taurus was $33K. We paid $31K for the slightly used TL.
Didn't matter since we would never had bought the Taurus after the test drives. If we had to we would have bought an Accord which we have owned 1 other that we still have with over 230K miles on it as a third car. If you have ever owned a Honda then you know how reliable these cars are.
If you don't like the product then short the stock. Then when you cover at $20, I can go out and buy a brand new Taurus without any dealer miles on it.
Owning the stock and the product itself have nothing to do with each other. I find it funny how anyone who states the truth about the actual product on this board is bashed since they do tell the truth about it. You just want people to say how great it is regardless of what it is. The fact is that we both said the same thing about the car. The products across the board haven't changed much at all. I see no reason to buy an inferior product for the same or more money with less service. Makes no sense.
Although I.m in the minority, I care a hell of a lot more about my country than how many pennies I can save on buying a foriegn brand auto! But then, I am a real american, not a loser basher. Peace.
He's paying the taxes and got a good deal on better car. That's as American as it gets. Enjoy that Acura they are great cars! This guy is probably driving a Crown Vic or something like it. The "new" Ford better get something better on the market or the love is going to quickly leave and start buying Toyota's again.
>>If we had to we would have bought an Accord which we have owned 1 other that we still have with over 230K miles on it as a third car. If you have ever owned a Honda then you know how reliable these cars are.<<
A statement like that leads me to believe that you had no intention of buying the Taurus in the first place.
.......but the profits go to FOREIGN COUNTRIES my friend..........we need to support AMERICAN Companies.....find an AMERICAN car that you like as FIRST PRIORITY!
That's such a bunch of garbage. I'm not buying a lesser product to support any "American" company. Let them build a car we want to drive then I'll buy it.
You purchased a used car, which lost twenty percent of it's value when you bought it.
Review of Acura TL
Not a ringing endorsement. Look at the bottom of page 1 to see the list of cars the reviewer would pick over the TL

Charlie Crist a sure thing to win this month's Albert Gore Jr. Global Warming Mega-Hypocrite award
**Written by Doug Powers
This is one of the funniest opening sentences to a news story not about Al Gore that I've read in a good while (via Weasel Zippers):
Democrat Charlie Crist flew to an environmental press event Thursday on the private jet of a developer fined for pollution.
Almost as soon Crist stepped off the 2005 Cessna 560XL, Gov. Rick Scott's campaign had photographed its tail number and traced its ownership to developer James Finch, whose company Phoenix Construction was fined at least twice for violating environmental rules (more here, here and here).
Scott's campaign quickly informed reporters awaiting Crist at his press conference concerning climate change.
According to Crist, he had to take a private jet:
Crist, not commenting about the irony of flying to an environmental press conference on the plane of someone busted for violating environmental rules, partly blamed his troubles on the remoteness and difficulty of traveling to Tallahassee.
Because everybody knows the only other way Tallahassee is accessible is with a pack mule and a team of Sherpas:
While we're on the subject of global warming alarmist Democrats and jet travel:
Last summer, Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., embarked on what his office trumpeted as a four-day, 1,000-mile trip across his state, with press releases noting he "woke up early to hit the road," making stops at a minor league ballpark, a craft brewery and a Roanoke rail yard, among others.
But for several hundred of those miles, Warner was not hitting the road — he was flying a chartered plane at a cost to taxpayers of $8,500.
Warner was one of two dozen U.S. senators who flew taxpayer-funded charter airplanes to, from or around their home state last year at a total cost of just under $1 million, according to a USA TODAY analysis of Senate spending records compiled by the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation.

Proposed new Society Sections are seeking your support
Three proposed new Society Sections are currently seeking members to support their formation. With each needing to show the support of one per cent of Society members, and with our membership now exceeding 50,000, they must win the support of more than 500 supporters.
The three putative Sections are:
Cyberpsychology Section - the proposed Cyberpsychology Section has an applied focus encompassing psychological phenomena associated with all emerging technologies, but with a particular focus on the Internet. This can include digital gaming effects, online identity and groups, personality in virtual worlds, effects of the Internet and associated activities, online learning and social networking in cyberspace.
Defence and Security Section - the aim of the Defence and Security Section is to promote a depth of understanding through multifaceted discussion, sharing of knowledge and investigation. The scope of the Section is broad, embracing of psychology from clinical, through cognitive and neuro-scientific, to occupational and human factors. Defence and Security is considered to be a domain of overlapping concerns arising from military, political, economic, criminal and legal activities affecting the wellbeing of the nation.
Male Psychology Section - for a number of years now, there has been a growing awareness that some issues affect men and boys more than women and girls. One obvious example is that suicide rates are roughly three times higher in men than women. Despite this and other important gender differences there has been relatively little attention paid to why males are disproportionately affected by these serious issues.
In each case follow the link to learn more about the proposed Section and register your support for its establishment.

Skip to comments.A nasty, dirty, rotten, vile cheat lost tonight
Posted on 02/05/2012 7:10:42 PM PST by Krankor
The Giants won against a cheater.
I guess I was kinda hoping that the Patriots would win today and in November.
A little Karma for the Fumble 10 years ago
BTW, Brady should have been called for Intentional Grounding back in SB 36 against STL when he was about to be sacked on that last drive and threw the ball downfield to no one to avoid a sack while between the Tackles, but it wasn't called - the Rams coaches and players on the sideline were absolutely livid that it wasn't called when it should have been.
And if it was, NE doesn't kick the game-winning FG and the SB goes to OT
Then years later, it comes out that the Pats taped the Rams pre-game walk thru. In other words, they taped the plays that the Rams would run.
Even Marshall Faulk said "They (The Patriots on Defense) were calling out our Offensive plays pre-snap during the game."
The NFL subsequently fined the Pats 500k and took away a 1st round draft pick from the Pats, who can't seem to win the big one without cheating.
The Rams beat the Pats in Foxboro 6 weeks earlier on a Sunday nite nationally televised game fairly easily, yet when they meet in SB36, the Pats suddenly have ESP and know what plays the Rams are going to run before they run them, resulting in the biggest upset in SB history.
Brady threw for a mere 168 yards, yet they won the SB in a huge upset, and the ref turned a blind eye to a blatant Intentional Grounding on the last drive.
Only years later it would come out that the Pats illegally taped the Rams pre-game walk thru, which is basically the plays that they are going to run in the game and the Pats were fined and had draft picks taken away.
The NFL got their hands on the tape, viewed it, then destroyed it. Yes, they destroyed the only copy of the tape.
If the public had seen it, they would have realized that the outcome of the game was most likely compromised and the public would be very hesitant to ever place a wager in Vegas on an NFL game again, or even watch a game on TV
Why destroy the tape if it was as benign as the NFL claimed?
Because it wasn't.
The Pats cheated then and did so in subsequent games and SB's.
Once they couldn't cheat, they couldn't win a SB
Eli > Brady
And then there's the "tuck" rule that got them into SB36 which was also a farce.
The Pats are as crooked as the 49ers and Eddie D, who was caught bribing the Governor of Louisiana with 400k in cash for a Riverboat gambling license and turned state/federal evidence to save his slimy rear end.
Another team, the 49ers, that had draft picks taken away.
They were caught cheating the salary cap and paying players cash under the table.
F*** New England and F*** San Francisco - two corrupt organizations that should be barred from the NFL, not just fined and have draft picks taken away.
These two organizations give the NFL a bad name and should be suspended from the league or should have been punished much more severely.
The Pats and the 49ers possibly won SB's by cheating while other teams played by the rules.
I was so glad to see NY win and to see the sour look on Bellicheats face after the game. He looked like he was sucking on lemons all game.
To clear things up, the Giants did not want to score a TD at the end of the game.
They wanted to run the game clock down to about :12 and kick the game winning field goal on 3rd down.
The reason you do so with :12 is if you have a penalty, there are certain penalties that result in a 10 second runoff, so you don't want to lose like that, especially a Super Bowl by committing a penalty resulting in a 10 second runoff which would end the game and result in a loss.
I've seen it happen where a team is in a position to win a game with a FG, commits a penalty that falls in that category and they lose due to the 10 second runoff rule.
You also want to kick on 3rd down in case of a bad snap.
That way, you can spike the ball or throw it thru the back of the end zone and you still have 4th down and still have a few seconds left to kick the game winning field goal.
The Giants had no intention of scoring a TD, but the momentum of the runner carried him into the end zone, giving NE :57 seconds left to drive down and score a TD
Ideally, you just run the ball and let the clock run down to about :12 and kick on 3rd down for the reasons I described above.
The Patriots did let them score a TD on purpose so they could get the ball back with a little time.
That's why the NY Giants RB tried to stop at the goal line, but his momentum carried him into the end zone.
I like your screen name!
Remember that a lot of drinking goes on during Superbowl Sunday, and there are always a few people that like to rant on about something.
Here's a good thread for you that was posted just after this one, and it supports the goals of Free Republic. Enjoy...
Maybe the worst SuperBowl Champion ever in one of the most boring SBs ever.
It was the right call. He was in the pocket and launched it to avoid the sack.
Me too!
With the heavy drinking that goes on during the SB, this stuff comes as no surprise. Also got to remember that cheating goes on across the board in the NFL in general, not just with one team or coach, period.
"Free Republic was once an awesome site filled with great articles and awesome discussion.
I'm seriously considering stopping my monthly donation. "
Want some cheese with that whine?
Why don't you say that to the site owner instead of regular posters?
Not brave enough to do that?
I see you two woke up enough to snark on this thread.
Grow up yourselves.
While you're at it, how about supporting FR instead of snarking?
Nobody forced either of you two to click on the thread and offend your delicate sensibilities.
All of New England looks like they are sucking lemons this morning. Be of good cheer! :-)
Win or lose, it is a GREAT day to be alive!
Plus there has been cheating across the board in the NFL anyways.
Since Jan 21, 2003
"I have never seen that kind of incomplete pass called intentional grounding."
Yeah, I thought that was a bit of an odd call. But hubby said it was legit. He was also thrilled because he had said "let's get 2" and, lol, they did.
I remember that also.
Haven't had any use for the Patriots since. The Belichick incident simply reinforced that feeling.
I like NFL but am not bonkers over it. And don't really care who wins most games.
However I root for any team playing the Patriots.
Karma for Nevada voting Romney?
Bridgette—Tom Brady???
My dream has been shattered!
Think of Brady as another Massachusetts pretty boy like Mitt Romney, both of whom think it's their destiny to win, and you may feel better...
The only time it worked was "The Florida Flop" that allowed John Reaves to get the all-time NCAA passing yardage record.
The one Team beat that other Team in that one Game.
Today, our Country is still swirling the toilet bowl.
Priorities? What priorities?
"...Giants win. Patriots lose.
Doesnt get any better than that!..."
Unless it's the Cowboys winning. Hoping they get back to the party........SOON!
Thank you! Congratulations on your win....
The Patriots are now 3 & 4 in the Super Bowl, 3 & 2 under Brady and crew. That is not a respectable record. It's just marginally above average, if that. I'm glad they lost. With the Giants win, the NFC East now has 12 Vince Lombardi trophies in its collective trophy cases. That makes that division the toughest in the NFL. No other division, be it pre or post re-alignment can make that claim. The only one dragging the bottom is Philly. They haven't lived up to their potential.
Anyway, congrats to the Giants. Eli and Co. are nearly unstoppable. When it's nut cracking time, they do the cracking. New England found that out the hard way.....twice.
The Patriots literally let them win. It was a shameful ending indeed. Also, Eli Manning is a draft dodger. He should be labelled as such.
The draft ended in 1973. Eli Manning was born in 1981.
There was one?
Draft Dodger?
Brady can't seem to win the big one without some illegally sourced video anymore.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell destroyed the tapes after viewing them and fining the Pats and taking away their 1st round pick.
There must have been something pretty damning on those tapes for him to punish the Pats in such a manner, and to destroy them.
If they ever got out and people saw them, you can be assured that no one would ever bet a dime on an NFL game for years to come or even watch an NFL game for years to come knowing that the Patriots likely cheated and gained a huge advantage over their opposition by illegally taping their pre-game practices.
Them and the 49ers are the biggest offenders. Eddie D tried to bribe the Governor of Louisiana with 400k for a Riverboat gambling license.
If he was bribing Governor's, how many refs did he have in his pocket, along with paying players under the table and cheating the salary cap while other teams played by the rules?
Funny how SF went from contender to cellar-dweller after Eddie D got caught.
Happy to see both SF and NE lose their biggest games of the season. I guess they can't win the big one without some "help"
Brady is 0-2 since Spygate in the SB.
The 49ers haven't won anything since Eddie D was busted.
Crooks. Eddie D belongs in Prison, but he flipped for a deal and testified against the Governor.
I figure the best quarterback to play the game was smiling at the end: Archie Manning.
Years of playing with the Saints when they had no offensive line, and he kept his sense of perspective and humor, congratulating Jack Youngblood a Ram defensive lineman for his many sacks.
The NFL draft, silly head. Look it up.

My mind is far away today, in Florida, and it's hard to focus on anything good. These are exactly the days we should, I guess.
I received the movie Maleficent I think for Christmas of 2014, but it was packed away until Tom and I began sorting through some bins that were never unpacked after our move. We found a lot of DVDs I'd been looking for or had forgotten about, including this movie. Some of us had a movie night at Houndstooth Hall Saturday, and I was finally able to see it. I loved this retelling and think Angelina Jolie was a superb Maleficent (my favorite Disney villain). The Moors have been a good place for my mind to escape to today–an enchanted forest whose inhabitants live peacefully together.
It also gives me a chance to revisit a couple of old posts, from 2007 and 2012, about my Maleficent Moleskine. Marika, it's finally full after all these years, packed with more memories and mementos than you could imagine. This picture does its thickness no justice, really.
But thanks to your cards, it ends as it began: with this character who must, must be an Aries. Those horns. That attitude. That fiery rage regretted later. Total Ram.
It may seem strange to begin a post with a Disney movie and end it with William Faulkner, but the word that came to me as I watched the movie's depiction of Maleficent was "prevail." I sometimes reread Faulkner's 1950 Nobel Price acceptance speech; today was one of the days I needed it. Here's an excerpt.
I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal because he will endure: that when the last ding-dong of doom has clanged and faded from the last worthless rock hanging tideless in the last red and dying evening, that even then there will still be one more sound: that of his puny inexhaustible voice, still talking. I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail.

This post has been a while coming, though I can never write all the things I want to about Prince. For me to have bought anything on vinyl in the early to mid-1980s was rare because I was on such a tight budget. Buying music would seriously have been a choice not to buy food. Also, the water leak disaster in one of my college-years houses that left most of my albums unplayable meant I got rid of a lot of them. But I could never have let go of Purple Rain. I have it on CD now, but holding the album in my hands evokes so many memories of all the stereos and apartments and cities where I listened to it and the people who listened to it with me.
I feel fortunate to have lived and been young (and old) and a person who danced and sang along in a time when someone as gifted and unique as Prince was creating music. Not just the music he recorded, but all of his songs that other people covered. I don't remember the first song I heard Prince sing or saw him perform, but I do have another of those "I remember the first time I heard it" stories.
When I was assistant managing a bookstore, one of our employees was a high school student who worked there afternoons and weekends. She kept telling me about her current music obsession, Sinéad O'Connor. I had no idea who that was; I hadn't heard any of her music, but Alison was always quoting her lyrics to me. One night I was sitting in Pizza Hut–the place where Tom, Lynne, and I often took Jess and his friends when they were growing boys because of the all-you-can-eat pizza buffet–when a song came on the jukebox. I was mesmerized, something clicked, and I thought, That has to be the singer Alison's always talking about. And that song is amazing.
It was, of course, "Nothing Compares 2 U," and although Prince didn't write it for O'Connor, as some people say, she certainly rode it into the stratosphere on her ascent to stardom. I doubt I knew it was a Prince song when I bought her CD I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, I just knew it was a great song.
I also feel fortunate that I live in the days of being able to fall down an Internet hole of online music and video whenever I want to hear or watch a legend like Prince. Nothing compares to him, and I'm sorry for all the unwritten, unrecorded music we'll never get to hear, but so grateful for the music we have.

The investigational therapy IDegLira—a combination of Novo Nordisk's Tresiba® (insulin degludec) and Victoza® (liraglutide injection) medications—results in improved glycemic control, as indicated by Phase III data from the DUALT I trial, as well as data from the DUALT II trial.
Data from the DUALT I trial were presented today at a Barcelona conference (the 49th Annual European Association for the Study of Diabetes) reiterated information presented July 17 at an American Diabetes Association meeting in Chicago. According to this data, IDegLira produces a statistically significant greater reduction in blood sugar levels (HbA1c) compared to insulin degludec or liraglutide alone, with no weight gain and a low rate of hypoglycaemia compared to insulin degludec in adults with type 2 diabetes.
These results were supported by data from the DUALT II trial. These data show once-daily IDegLira provides statistically greater reductions in postprandial glucose following all three main meals of the day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) compared to insulin degludec.
IDegLira is a once-daily, single-administration basal insulin/GLP-1 analogue combination. It is being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. DUALT I, which included around 1,600 people in a 26-week, randomized, open-label trial trial, evaluated IDegLira in people with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on oral antidiabetic medications compared to insulin degludec or liraglutide (1.8 mg) alone.
In DUALT II, around 400 people took part in a 26-week, randomized, double-blinded trial comparing IDegLira and insulin degludec in people with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on basal insulin in combination with 1-2 oral anti-diabetic agents. In this trial, the maximum dose of insulin degludec was fixed in both treatment arms to investigate the additional impact of the liraglutide component of IDegLira on glucose control.
"The efficacy of IDegLira demonstrated by the DUALT I data is exciting. It combines the clinical advantages yet mitigates the principal side-effects of insulin degludec and liraglutide," said Professor Stephen Gough, University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, lead investigator of the study. "DUALT I shows how patients can achieve an average final HbA1c of 6.4% with no weight gain and a low rate of hypoglycaemia."
Presentations at the Barcelona conference about the DUALT II data showed that the effects of IDegLira on fasting and postprandial glucose levels resulted in a substantial overall improvement in glycemic control as compared to its individual components. IDegLira reduced the postprandial increments significantly more than insulin degludec following all three main meals. The reduction in postprandial increments seen for IDegLira and liraglutide were similar. Furthermore, IDegLira resulted in significantly better control of postprandial blood glucose following a standardized mixed meal compared to insulin degludec.
