Scott Cullen has notes on the Maple Leafs' defence, Columbus' goaltending, the top-scoring lines in hockey and money well-spent in Colorado.
Leave it to a three-game losing streak and an article doubting that they can maintain their strong start for controversy to find the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Jake Gardiner's agent, Ben Hankinson, took to Twitter after Toronto lost 5-2 to Winnipeg Tuesday night, simply posting the hashtag #FreeJakeGardiner. This is hardly a new phenomenon on Twitter. Maybe it's unusual for it to come from the player's agent, but if anyone wants a player to get more playing time or a better opportunity than they are being afforded in their current situation, this meme has been standard fare. For example, #FreeTrevorBauer (referring to the highly-touted former Diamondbacks, current Indians, pitching prospect) got quite a bit of play in baseball circles last summer. The Diamondbacks were ultimately accomodating, apparently, dealing Bauer to Cleveland this past offseason.

Several Charleston tourism pamphlets were found inside an envelope with white powder that prompted authorities to close off a section of a busy downtown street on Monday, according to police.
The envelope, marked "return to sender," was mailed to Historical Charleston Foundation at 40 East Bay St., according to an incident report. It appeared to have been initially labeled to be sent to a Jami Helmi in Helsinki, Finland, the report stated.
A foundation employee opened the envelope, which contained the tourist attraction materials along with a folded stack of copier paper, the report stated.
The employee told police she unfolded the paper and found a plastic bag containing a white powdery substance. The employee called police and authorities cordoned off the area as a precautionary measure.
The powder was tested to determine if it was an illegal narcotic, but it tested negative. Officials later determined it was baking soda.
The employee told police that this envelope was the third she'd received in the past year with a return address like this one, the report stated. She said she had always thrown them away without sorting through them, according to her report to police.
The incident blocked East Bay Street near The Battery for about three hours starting at around 8 a.m. on Monday as the explosives and hazardous-materials experts tried to figure out what they were dealing with.

Machining induced surface integrity in titanium and nickel alloys: A reviewDurul Ulutan | Tugrul Ozel
Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2011, Pages 250-280
Titanium and nickel alloys represent a significant metal portion of the aircraft structural and engine components. When these critical structural components in aerospace industry are manufactured with the objective to reach high reliability levels, surface integrity is one of the most relevant parameters used for evaluating the quality of finish machined surfaces. The residual stresses and surface alteration (white etch layer and depth of work hardening) induced by machining of titanium alloys and nickel-based alloys are very critical due to safety and sustainability concerns. This review paper provides an overview of machining induced surface integrity in titanium and nickel alloys. There are many different types of surface integrity problems reported in literature, and among these, residual stresses, white layer and work hardening layers, as well as microstructural alterations can be studied in order to improve surface qualities of end products. Many parameters affect the surface quality of workpieces, and cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, tool geometry and preparation, tool wear, and workpiece properties are among the most important ones worth to investigate. Experimental and empirical studies as well as analytical and Finite Element modeling based approaches are offered in order to better understand machining induced surface integrity. In the current state-of-the-art however, a comprehensive and systematic modeling approach based on the process physics and applicable to the industrial processes is still missing. It is concluded that further modeling studies are needed to create predictive physics-based models that is in good agreement with reliable experiments, while explaining the effects of many parameters, for machining of titanium alloys and nickel-based alloys. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Chatter in machining processes: A reviewGuillem Quintana | Joaquim Ciurana
Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2011, Pages 363-376
Chatter is a self-excited vibration that can occur during machining operations and become a common limitation to productivity and part quality. For this reason, it has been a topic of industrial and academic interest in the manufacturing sector for many years. A great deal of research has been carried out since the late 1950s to solve the chatter problem. Researchers have studied how to detect, identify, avoid, prevent, reduce, control, or suppress chatter. This paper reviews the state of research on the chatter problem and classifies the existing methods developed to ensure stable cutting into those that use the lobbing effect, out-of-process or in-process, and those that, passively or actively, modify the system behaviour. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Environmentally conscious machining of difficult-to-machine materials with regard to cutting fluidsA. Shokrani | V. Dhokia | S. T. Newman
Volume 57, Issue , June 2012, Pages 83-101
Machining difficult-to-machine materials such as alloys used in aerospace, nuclear and medical industries are usually accompanied with low productivity, poor surface quality and short tool life. Despite the broad use of the term difficult-to-machine or hard-to-cut materials, the area of these types of materials and their properties are not clear yet. On the other hand, using cutting fluids is a common technique for improving machinability and has been acknowledged since early 20th. However, the environmental and health hazards associated with the use of conventional cutting fluids together with developing governmental regulations have resulted in increasing machining costs. The aim of this paper is to review and identify the materials known as difficult-to-machine and their properties. In addition, different cutting fluids are reviewed and major health and environmental concerns about their usage in material cutting industries are defined. Finally, advances in reducing and/or eliminating the use of conventional cutting fluids are reviewed and discussed. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Integrated geometric error modeling, identification and compensation of CNC machine toolsShaowei Zhu | Guofu Ding | Shengfeng Qin | Jiang Lei | Li Zhuang | Kaiyin Yan
Volume 52, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 24-29
This paper presents an integrated geometric error modeling, identification and compensation method for machine tools. Regarding a machine tool as a rigid multi-body system (MBS), a geometric error model has been established. It supports the identification of the 21 translational geometric error parameters associated with linear-motion axes based on a laser interferometer, and 6 angular geometric error parameters for each rotation axis based on a ball-bar. Based on this model, a new identification method is proposed to recognize these geometric errors. Finally, the identified geometric errors are compensated by correcting corresponding NC codes. In order to validate our method, a prototype software system has been developed, which can be used for conducting tests on any type of CNC machine tool with not more than five axes. An experiment has been conducted on a five-axis machine center with rotary table and tilting head; the results show that the integrated geometric error modeling, identification and compensation method is effective and applicable in multi-axis machine tools. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

New observations on tool life, cutting forces and chip morphology in cryogenic machining Ti-6Al-4VM. J. Bermingham | J. Kirsch | S. Sun | S. Palanisamy | M. S. Dargusch
Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2011, Pages 500-511
The use of cryogenic coolant in metal cutting has received renewed recent attention because liquid nitrogen is a safe, clean, non-toxic coolant that requires no expensive disposal and can substantially improve tool life. This work investigates the effectiveness of cryogenic coolant during turning of Ti-6Al-4V at a constant speed and material removal rate (125 m/min, 48.5 cm 3/min) with different combinations of feed rate and depth of cut. It is found that the greatest improvement in tool life using cryogenic coolant occurs for conditions of high feed rate and low depth of cut combinations. However, this combination of machining parameters produces much shorter tool life compared to low feed rate and high depth of cut combinations. It is found that preventing heat generation during cutting is far more advantageous towards extending tool life rather than attempting to remove the heat with cryogenic coolant. Although cryogenic coolant is effective in extracting heat from the cutting zone, it is proposed that cryogenic coolant may limit the frictional heat generated during cutting and limit heat transfer to the tool by reducing the toolchip contact length. The effect of cryogenic coolant on cutting forces and chip morphology is also examined. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A review of chatter vibration research in turningM. Siddhpura | R. Paurobally
Volume 61, Issue , October 2012, Pages 27-47
Chatter vibrations are present in almost all cutting operations and they are major obstacles in achieving desired productivity. Regenerative chatter is the most detrimental to any process as it creates excessive vibration between the tool and the workpiece, resulting in a poor surface finish, high-pitch noise and accelerated tool wear which in turn reduces machine tool life, reliability and safety of the machining operation. There are various techniques proposed by several researchers to predict and detect chatter where the objective is to avoid chatter occurrence in the cutting process in order to obtain better surface finish of the product, higher productivity and tool life. In this paper, some of the chatter stability prediction, chatter detection and chatter control techniques for the turning process are reviewed to summarize the status of current research in this field. The objective of this review work is to compare different chatter stability prediction, chatter detection and chatter control techniques to find out most suitable technique/s and to identify a research scope in this area. One scope of research has been identified as establishing a theoretical relationship between chatter vibration and tool wear in order to predict tool wear and tool life in the presence of chatter vibration. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Investigation of deformation and failure features in hot stamping of AA6082: Experimentation and modellingMohamed S. Mohamed | Alistair D. Foster | Jianguo Lin | Daniel S. Balint | Trevor A. Dean
Volume 53, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 27-38
This paper introduces a set of coupled viscoplastic constitutive equations for deformation and damage in hot stamping and cold die quenching of AA6082 panel parts. The equation set can be used to predict viscoplastic flow and plasticity-induced damage of AA6082 under hot forming conditions. Deformation and damage depend upon a coupled set of evolving internal state variables, e.g. dislocation density, which in turn is affected by thermally activated and deformation-dependent recrystallisation and recovery. A phenomenological description of damage is derived based on the expected physical scaling with temperature, strain and strain rate. The resulting equations were implemented in the commercial software ABAQUS via the user-defined subroutine VUMAT for carrying out forming process simulations. An experimental programme was designed, and specialised testing facilities developed for calibrating and validating the FE process modelling results. A good agreement between the process simulation and the experimental results has been achieved. This confirms that the physical dependencies in the constitutive equations are correctly formed, and that the equations and FE model can be calibrated and used for hot stamping of AA6082 panel parts. Further, forming process optimisation was carried out using the model to identify the optimal forming parameters for a basic panel part with a circular hole in the middle. The study concludes with a discussion of the potential impact of the constitutive model, experimental characterisation and modelling results on AA6082 panel parts manufacture. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
Evaluations of cellular lattice structures manufactured using selective laser meltingChunze Yan | Liang Hao | Ahmed Hussein | David Raymont
Volume 62, Issue , November 2012, Pages 32-38
Metallic additive manufacturing techniques, in particular the selective laser melting (SLM) process, are capable of fabricating strong, lightweight and complex metallic lattice structures. However, they still face certain process limitations such as geometrical constraints and in some cases the need for support structures. This study evaluates the manufacturability and performance of SLM produced periodic cellular lattice structures, which are designed by repeating a unit cell type called gyroid consisting of circular struts and a spherical core. The effect of unit cell size on the manufacturability, density and compression properties of the manufactured cellular lattice structures were investigated. Micro-computer tomography (CT) scan results reveal that the gyroid cellular lattice structures with various unit cell sizes ranging from 2 to 8 mm can be manufactured free of defects by the SLM process without the need of additional support structures. The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) micrographs show that the lattice structures made by SLM have a good geometric agreement with the original computer-aided design (CAD) models, but many partially melted metal particles are bonded to strut surfaces. The struts within the gyroid cellular lattice structures with smaller unit cell sizes have higher densities due to their shorter scan vector lengths in the SLM process. The yield strength and Young's modulus of the Gyroid cellular lattice structures increase with the decrease in the unit cell size due to the denser struts of the lattice structures with smaller unit cell sizes. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Construction of an error map of rotary axes on a five-axis machining center by static R-testSoichi Ibaraki | Chiaki Oyama | Hisashi Otsubo
Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2011, Pages 190-200
This paper proposes an efficient and automated scheme to calibrate error motions of rotary axes on a five-axis machining center by using the R-test. During a five-axis measurement cycle, the R-test probing system measures the three-dimensional displacement of a sphere attached to the spindle in relative to the machine table. Location errors, defined in ISO 230-7, of rotary axes are the most fundamental error factors in the five-axis kinematics. A larger class of error motions can be modeled as geometric errors that vary depending on the angular position of a rotary axis. The objective of this paper is to present an algorithm to identify not only location errors, but also such position-dependent geometric errors, or "error map," of rotary axes. Its experimental demonstration is presented. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Tool wear characteristics in machining of nickel-based superalloysDahu Zhu | Xiaoming Zhang | Han Ding
Volume 64, Issue , January 2013, Pages 60-77
Nickel-based superalloy is widely employed in aircraft engines and the hot end components of various types of gas turbines with its high strength, strong corrosion resistance and excellent thermal fatigue properties and thermal stability. However, nickel-based superalloy is one of the extremely difficult-to-cut materials. During the machining process, the interaction between the tool and the workpiece causes the severe plastic deformation in the local area of workpiece, and the intense friction at the tool-workpiece interface. The resulting cutting heat coupled with the serious work hardening leads to a series of flaws, such as excessive tool wear, frequent tool change, short tool life, low productivity, and large amount of power consumption etc., in which the excessive tool wear has become one of the main bottlenecks that constraints the machinability of nickel-based superalloys and its wide range of applications. In this article, attention is mainly focused on the tool wear characteristics in the machining of nickel-based superalloys, and the state of the art in the fields of failure mechanism, monitoring and prediction, and control of tool wear are reviewed. The survey of existing works has revealed several gaps in the aspects of tool self-organizing process based on the non-equilibrium thermodynamics, tool wear considering the tool nose radius, thermal diffusion layer in coated tools, tool life prediction based on the thermal-mechanical coupling, and industrial application of tool wear online monitoring devices. The review aims at providing an insight into the tool wear characteristics in the machining of nickel-based superalloys and shows the great potential for further investigations and innovation in the field of tool wear. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Enhanced surface integrity of AZ31B Mg alloy by cryogenic machining towards improved functional performance of machined componentsZ. Pu | J. C. Outeiro | A. C. Batista | O. W. Dillon | D. A. Puleo | I. S. Jawahir
Volume 56, Issue , May 2012, Pages 17-27
Surface integrity of machined components has a critical impact on their performance. Magnesium alloys are lightweight materials used in the transportation industry and are also emerging as a potential material for biodegradable medical implants. Surface integrity factors, such as grain size, crystallographic orientation and residual stress, have been proved to remarkably influence the functional performance of magnesium alloys, including corrosion/wear resistance and fatigue life. In this study, the influence of dry and cryogenic machining (liquid nitrogen was sprayed on the machined surface during machining) using different cutting edge radius tools on surface integrity was investigated. Compared with the initial material, cryogenic machining when using a large edge radius tool led to enhanced surface integrity in terms of the following: (1) improved surface finish; (2) significant grain refinement from 12 μm to 31 nm in the featureless surface layer; (3) large intensity of (0002) basal plane on the machined surface; (4) 10 times larger compressive areas in residual stress profiles; these changes should notably improve the functional performance of machined AZ31B Mg alloy. In addition to the frequently reported benefits on tool life, this study suggests that cryogenic machining may also enhance the surface integrity of the workpiece and improve the performance of machined components. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

A review of the development of creep age forming: Experimentation, modelling and applicationsLihua Zhan | Jianguo Lin | T. A. Dean
Volume 51, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 1-17
About twenty years ago, the process of Creep Age Forming (CAF) was invented, and since then has been developed for the manufacture of heat treatable aluminium alloy panel components particularly, it has been successfully used for aircraft wing panels. Significant research work has been carried out in recent years and process applications have been expanded. This paper contains a review of recent research and development of this novel forming process. It covers process applications in the aircraft industry and scientific research, including the development of forming tools, experimental studies, materials and process modelling and springback prediction. Some potential future applications and challenges for deeper understanding of this novel process are also discussed. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
State of the art in hard turningGaurav Bartarya | S. K. Choudhury
Volume 53, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 1-14
Hard turning is gaining grounds for machining hardened steels as it has several benefits over grinding. There are several issues, which should be understood and dealt with, to achieve successful performance of the process. Researchers have worked upon several aspects related to hard turning. The present work is an effort to review some of these works and to understand the key issues related to process performance. The review shows that the type of tool material, cutting edge geometry and cutting parameters affect the process efficiencies in terms of tool forces, surface integrities integrity, and white layer. Adequate machine rigidity is a must essential to minimize the process inaccuracies. Also moreover, for finish hard turning, where the depth of cut is less than the nose radius of the tool, the forces deviate from the conventional trends as the radial force component is the maximum and axial force component becomes minimum. The present work finally lists down certain areas that can be taken up for further research in hard turning. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
A new method of virtual material hypothesis-based dynamic modeling on fixed joint interface in machine toolsHongliang Tian | Bin Li | Hongqi Liu | Kuanmin Mao | Fangyu Peng | Xiaolei Huang
Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2011, Pages 239-249
The dynamic characteristics of joint interfaces affect the dynamic behaviors of a whole machine tool structure notably. An analytic method of virtual material hypothesis-based dynamic modeling on fixed joint interface in machine tools was conducted so as to improve the modeling accuracy of whole machine tools. The microcontact part of two contact surfaces in fixed joint interface was assumed as a virtual isotropic material, which is rigidly connected with two components composing fixed joint interface. The interaction between normal and tangential characteristics of fixed interface was taken into account, a set of analytic solutions of elastic modulus, shear modulus, Poisson ratio and density was deduced from virtual material by adopting Hertz contact theory and fractal theory. Using the finite element structural dynamic modeling approach in existence, when some parameters of material's elastic modulus, Poisson ratio, density, etc. are known, the dynamic model for virtual material composing a component could be established; therefore, the dynamic model for whole structure, including joint interface, would be obtained. The theoretical mode shapes were compared with the experimental ones (qualitative comparison of similar mode shape and quantitative comparison of the corresponding natural frequency). The comparison results show that the theoretical mode shapes are in excellent agreement with the experimental ones. The relative errors between the theoretical natural frequencies and the experimental ones are less than 9%. The good agreements of theoretical results with experimental ones confirm analytic solutions for virtual material's parameters. The present solutions would be useful to the precise dynamic modeling of fixed joint interfaces in CNC machine tools in practice. Crown Copyright © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Identification strategy of error parameter in volumetric error compensation of machine tool based on laser tracker measurementsSergio Aguado | David Samper | Jorge Santolaria | Juan José Aguilar
Volume 53, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 160-169
This paper presents a new method for volumetric verification of machine tools. Beyond the consideration of a particular machine, a general verification methodology is presented based on the type of machine to verify the number and movement of axes and different techniques that can be used. A scheme and kinematic model with the inclusion of the measurement system depending on the kinematics of the machine are presented. The model describes the geometry and kinematics of a real milling machine based on a parametric synthetic data generator, which generates a test with known geometric errors and noise to enable a study of different optimisation techniques and models. Similarly, different errors identification techniques and volumetric verification models are presented and analysed. The paper shows the improvement that occurs in verification by considering optimisation phases, the appropriateness of using new techniques of feedback, and the influence of optimisation parameters. Chebyshev polynomials and its characteristics are presented, as well as a regression function for the new verification model. The new developed technique allows the characterisation of the different errors in the whole workspace of the machine and in less time than direct verification methods. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
Hole quality assessment following drilling of metallic-composite stacksI. S. Shyha | S. L. Soo | D. K. Aspinwall | S. Bradley | R. Perry | P. Harden | S. Dawson
Volume 51, Issues 7-8, July 2011, Pages 569-578
The use of material stacks comprising titanium, carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs) and aluminium is expanding for structural aerospace applications, especially where high mechanical loads exist such as for aircraft wing and tail-plane components. Here, the production of bolt/fixation holes is essential to the manufacturing process in order to facilitate part assembly. The paper outlines an analysis of hole quality/integrity following drilling of titanium/CFRP/aluminium stacks under flood cutting fluid and spray mist environments. Uncoated and coated (CVD diamond and hardmetal) tungsten carbide drill performance is evaluated against key response measures including hole size, out of roundness, cylindricity, burr height, hole edge quality, average surface roughness (Ra), microhardness (of the metallic elements) and swarf morphology. Burr height (up to 0.5 mm) was observed to be greater at the hole exit (aluminium) compared to hole entry (titanium) while delamination was significantly reduced when machining CFRP in the stack configuration as opposed to a standalone arrangement. Spiral shaped continuous aluminium swarf was prevalent while both short and long helical chips were found with the titanium material when cutting wet. In contrast, the CFRP layer typically produced dusty black composite particles suspended in the soluble oil of the coolant emulsion. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Application of vegetable oil-based metalworking fluids in machining ferrous metals - A reviewS. A. Lawal | I. A. Choudhury | Y. Nukman
Volume 52, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 1-12
The increasing attention to the environmental and health impacts of industrial activities by governmental regulations and by the growing awareness level in the society is forcing industrialists to reduce the use of mineral oil-based metalworking fluids as cutting fluid. Cutting fluids have been used extensively in metal cutting operations for the last 200 years. In the beginning, cutting fluids consisted of simple oils applied with brushes to lubricate and cool the machine tool. As cutting operations became more severe, cutting fluid formulations became more complex. There are now several types of cutting fluids in the market and the most common types can be broadly categorized as cutting oils or water-miscible fluids. In this review, the applicability of vegetable oil-based metalworking fluids in machining of ferrous metals has been undertaken. The advantages of metalworking fluids and its performances with respect to the cutting force, surface finish of work piece, tool wear and temperature at the cutting zone have been investigated. It has been reported in various literature that metalworking fluids, which are vegetable oil-based, could be an environmentally friendly mode of machining with similar performance obtained using mineral oil-based metalworking fluids. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Experimental characterization of micro-drilling process using nanofluid minimum quantity lubricationJung Soo Nam | Pil Ho Lee | Sang Won Lee
Volume 51, Issues 7-8, July 2011, Pages 649-652
This paper discusses the experimental characterization of the micro-drilling process with the nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). The miniaturized drilling machine tool system is developed, and then a series of micro-drilling experiments are conducted in the cases of compressed air lubrication, pure MQL and nanofluid MQL. For the nanofluid MQL, nano-diamond particles having the diameter of 30 nm are used with the base fluids of paraffin and vegetable oils. For the micro-drilling process, an uncoated carbide twist drill having the diameter of 200 μm is used for making holes in the aluminum 6061 workpiece. The experimental results show that the nanofluid MQL significantly increases the number of drilled holes and reduces the drilling torques and thrust forces. In addition, the nanofluid MQL effectively eliminates remaining chips and burrs to enhance the quality of drilled holes. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Modeling of machining of composite materials: A reviewChinmaya R. Dandekar | Yung C. Shin
Volume 57, Issue , June 2012, Pages 102-121
This paper provides a comprehensive review of literature, mostly of the last 10-15 years, on modeling of machining of composite materials with a focus on the process of turning. The paper discusses modeling of both fiber reinforced and particle reinforced composites. Modeling studies include molecular dynamic simulations, 2-D and 3-D finite element models and the emerging field of multi-scale models. In fiber reinforced composites the focus is on glass and carbon fiber reinforced polymeric composites as well as long fiber reinforced metal matrix composites. On the other hand modeling of particulate composites is restricted to that of metal matrix composites (MMC). The paper includes recent modeling work to predict cutting forces, tool-particle interaction, cutting temperatures and machined sub-surface damage. A case study on the machining of the MMC A359 aluminum matrix composite reinforced with 20% by volume fraction silicon carbide particles is included to showcase the hierarchical multi-scale machining model. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
An integrated processmachine approach for designing productive and lightweight milling machinesJ. J. Zulaika | F. J. Campa | L. N. Lopez De Lacalle
Volume 51, Issues 7-8, July 2011, Pages 591-604
This paper provides an integrated approach for designing large milling machines, taking both mass reduction of mobile structural components and the maximum material removal rate into account. This approach considers a representative milling operation and a productivity target as a starting point, and then deals with the design of the machine to achieve the targeted productivity with structural components of minimum mass. The procedure is based on modeling the interactions between process and machine by means of a stability model of the milling process in modal coordinates. The model allows the identification of the mechanical design parameters that limit the productivity as well as the threshold values that must be met to ensure the targeted productivity. Those values are reached in an iterative procedure that minimizes the mass of the critical structural components of the machine. This approach has been applied to the re-design of an actual milling machine, on which, once built and adjusted, the machining tests conducted have shown increases above 100% in productivity, consuming at the same time 13% less energy due to mass reduction above 20% in mobile structural components. In this way, an eco-efficient milling machine that performs highly productive machining processes has been designed and built. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Unified cutting force model for turning, boring, drilling and milling operationsM. Kaymakci | Z. M. Kilic | Y. Altintas
Volume 54-55, Issue , March 2012, Pages 34-45
A unified cutting mechanics model is developed for the prediction of cutting forces in milling, boring, turning and drilling operations with inserted tools. The insert and its orientation on a reference tool body are mathematically modeled by following ISO tool definition standards. The material and cutting edge geometry-dependent friction and normal forces acting on the rake face are transformed into reference tool coordinates using a general transformation matrix. The forces are further transformed into turning, boring, drilling and milling coordinates by simply assigning operation specific parameters. The unified model is validated in cutting experiments. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Micro-texture at the coated tool face for high performance cuttingToshiyuki Obikawa | Akihiro Kamio | Hidemitsu Takaoka | Akira Osada
Volume 51, Issue 12, December 2011, Pages 966-972
This paper describes the effect of micro surface texture on the lubrication conditions at the tool rake face in machining aluminum alloy. For this purpose, four types of micro surface texture were fabricated at the tool faces of cemented carbide through spattering, photolithography and wet etching, and the micro-textured tool faces were coated with diamond like carbon (DLC) or TiN. Then, orthogonal cutting experiments of aluminum alloy were conducted using the coated tools with and without micro-texture. The normal and friction forces and the coefficient of friction were obtained from the measured cutting forces. In addition, tool surface conditions were inspected with a CCD microscope after machining. As a result, it was found that parallel type and square-dot type of micro-textures improved effectively the lubrication conditions in machining aluminum alloy A6061-T6. It was also found that micro-texture was likely to improve the lubrication conditions more effectively as the pattern of texture became smaller and deeper. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Electrical discharge machining of Ti6Al4V with a bundled electrodeLin Gu | Lei Li | Wansheng Zhao | K. P. Rajurkar
Volume 53, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 100-106
The aim of this study is to investigate an efficient Ti6Al4V electrical discharge machining (EDM) process with a bundled die-sinking electrode. The feasibility of machining Ti6Al4V with a bundled electrode was studied and its effect on EDM performance was compared experimentally using a solid die-sinking electrode. The simulation results explain the high performance of the EDM process with a bundled electrode by through the use of multi-hole inner flushing to efficiently remove molten material from the inter-electrode gap and through the improved ability to apply a higher peak current. A 3-factor, 3-level experimental design was used to study the relationships between 2 machining performance parameters (material removal rate: MRR, tool wear ratio: TWR) and 3 machining parameters (fluid flow rate, peak current and pulse duration). The main effects and influences of the 2-factor interactions of these parameters on the performances of the EDM process with the bundled electrode are discussed. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
Evaluation of drilling parameters on thrust force in drilling carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite laminates using compound core-special drillsC. C. Tsao | Y. C. Chiu
Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2011, Pages 740-744
Drilling is the mostly used secondary machining of the fiber reinforced composite laminates, while the delamination occurs frequently at the drill exit in the workpiece. In the industrial experiences, core drill shows better drilling quality than twist drill. However, chip removal is a troublesome problem when using the core drill. Conventional compound core-special drills (core-special drills and step-core-special drills) are designed to avoid the chip removal clog in drilling. But the cutting velocity ratio (relative motion) between outer drill and inner drill is null for conventional compound core-special drills. The current study develops a new device and to solve the problems of relative motion and chip removal between the outer and inner drills in drilling CFRP composite laminates. In addition, this study investigates the influence of drilling parameters (cutting velocity ratio, feed rate, stretch, inner drill type and inner drill diameter) on thrust force of compound core-special drills. An innovative device can be consulted in application of compound core-special drill in different industries in the future. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Evaluation of the mechanical properties of Inconel 718 components built by laser claddingI. Tabernero | A. Lamikiz | S. Martínez | E. Ukar | J. Figueras
Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2011, Pages 465-470
Laser-cladding process is one of the most relevant new processes in the industry due to the particular properties of the processed parts. The main users of this process are aeronautical turbine parts manufacturers and engineering maintenance services. The main advantage of laser-cladding process is the possibility of obtaining high quality material deposition on complex parts. Thus, laser cladding can be applied in the repair of high added-value and safety critical parts. This ability is especially useful for high-cost parts that present wears or local damage due to operating conditions. Different types of parts can be processed, such as housings, blades or even complete turbine rotors. Once the parts are repaired by laser cladding, they can be reassembled on the engine, reducing lead times. Laser-cladding process can permit buildup of complex geometries on previously forged or machined parts, such as stubs or flanges. However, one of the main drawbacks of the laser-cladding process currently is lack of knowledge on the properties of the deposited material. Most of the available data relate to the microstructure and the final hardness values. Nevertheless, there are few data of the mechanical properties of the parts. Moreover, it is difficult to gather data related to the influence of the laser-cladding parameters and strategies on the mechanical behaviour of a part. This paper presents the mechanical properties of a series of samples builtup by laser cladding. Two different types of specimens are tested: first, hybrid parts, in which laser cladding deposits materials built up layer-by-layer onto a substrate and the resulting part is a combination of deposited material and the substrate and second, complete rapid manufactured test samples. The results of tensile tests on various parts show that the laser-cladding strategy has a significant influence on their stressstrain curves. In addition, the laser-cladding process can result in a high directionality of their mechanical properties. The direction depends on the particular strategy in use. The study demonstrates that these properties present high anisotropy, a factor that should be carefully considered when selecting the most appropriate laser-cladding strategy. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Crowley 'Cleanest City' in district
Howell "Howie" Dennis is the news editor for The Crowley Post-Signal. He can be reached at email@example.com or 337-783-3450.
Louisiana Garden Club Federation District Cleanest City Director Sepha Guidry has informed Crowley Cleanest City Chair Nancy Broadhurst that the city of Crowley was named district winner of the 2014 Cleanest City Competition held Tuesday, April 1.
Crowley will now compete in the State Cleanest City Contest planned for the first week of May against other winning cities throughout the state based on population its size.
"This award represents a community who cares about and takes pride in our city, their neighborhoods and where they work and live," said Broadhurst. "It brings with it a community spirit that tells the world that our city officials, business leaders and citizens are invested in their home town."
A very excited Mayor Greg Jones said, "If the city continues to band together as we did for this district win we certainly have a good chance of going all the way to the top and receiving the prestigious award and highest honor of being among the state's cleanest cities."
Amy Thibodeaux, president and CEO of the Crowley Chamber of Commerce, said having Crowley win the Cleanest City competition is another feather in the cap for local economic development officials looking to sell Crowley to businesses.
"It can only help us," Thibodeaux said. "We are proud to add this to our reasons to visit and do business here and make Crowley a place to call home."
"The state competition is much harder due to the competition being tougher. Now we are competing directly against other winners our size throughout the state," said Broadhurst. "We have to strive harder to get the city ready for this next step of competition — and we will be prepared."
Judging rules for state competition are same as those of district which requires judges be shown municipal and public buildings, recreation centers, parks, schools, churches, libraries, fire and police station, hospitals and nursing homes.
Along the route, judges view business establishments and residential areas, streets, sidewalks and neutral grounds. Vacant lots must be free of litter, junk and abandoned vehicles. They look for lawns to be edged, well-kept and fences to be painted and litter free.
The judges also look at community involvement. The participation of service clubs, church groups, and schools. They also take into consideration educational and beautification efforts that have been made throughout the past year by reviewing a scrapbook detailing all projects and before and after clean-up pictures.
The goal is that the judges leave with an overall impression of cleanliness.
Jones extends a special thanks to all citizens and employees of the city who worked long and diligently.
"I am extremely proud of our Streets Director Gilbert Onezine and his department, the Chamber of Commerce, the Crowley Garden Club, West Crowley Beautification Society, School Board and other members of our Keep Crowley Beautiful Task Force who rose to the occasion and teamed together to make this win happen," said Jones.
"We are fortunate to have such a supportive and responsive community to help with our city's quality of life initiatives. Let's keep it up."

Recap: 'True Blood' Premiere - 'She's Not There'
By our reckoning, "True Blood†has tackled vampires (of course), werewolves (natch), ancient Greek sybarites (props to the research team on that one), brujos (fresh!), shapeshifters (fair enough), fairies (really?), psychic visionaries and well-meaning witches. That means that we have only gelatinous blobs, ancient Egyptian curses and flesh-eating zombies left. I vote for the blobs.
[Full recap of Sunday's (June 26) "True Blood" premiere after the break...]
As we open this new season, we learn that the mystery brunette in Sookie's fantasy land is her -- no joke -- Fairy Godmother. Barry the Bellboy also is in fantasy land, has his own fairy godmother too. Name's Lloyd; great accessories. Anyway, Barry and Sookie are in a beautiful garden. They are invited by the fairies to dine on light-up fruit, which Barry chomps with abandon. Sookie hesitates, which, of course, can only mean that the light-up fruit is bad news. Just then Sookie spots her grand-dad, who is enjoying a disco fruit of his own. (That's not a metaphor for anything. Lloyd is a Fairy Godmother, but the disco fruit really is disco fruit. It's not a euphemism. Yet.)
Pee-Paw is under the impression that only a few days have gone by since he last saw Sookie, so Sookie needs to set him straight and catch him up on everyone who has died.
Oh no! The walls in Fairy Land are getting slimy and a green goblin is lurking among the trays of glow fruit! It's a trap! A tall fairy emerges from the crowd before Sookie can bail. This is Mab, queen Glow Fruit Country. Mab reminds Sookie that she has inadvertently stirred up fresh danger for the fairies by cavorting with vampires and luring one into the fairy realm.
"Vampires nearly drank us to extinction,†Mab speechifies. "They drove us into this plane.â€Â
Sookie responds by assuring Mab that she has lost her taste for vampires; she assures everyone that her peccadillos are no threat to Fairy Land or its disco fruit.
Then the queen reveals an Evil Fairy Plan (TM): She and her friends want to harvest humans.
"You're harvesting people!†Sookie realizes.
Mab then tries to force Sookie to eat a piece of
Soylent Green fruit. Sookie fights back, and the facade of fair land fades away. Oh no! Everyone is ugly! They're not partying in a classy, Venetian-looking garden but, apparently, Joshua Tree National Park -- without the color! A fight ensues between Sookie and the ugly fey (weapon of choice: purple lasers) before Sookie and her grandfather can try to make a break for it.
One of the ugly fairies says he can help Sookie. He says he is Mab's brother, and that Mab's plan really is to forever seal off the doorway between Glow Fruit Country and Earth. Given Mab's personality, this seems like a good plan for all involved, but apparently not.
"It was once our world,†the brother says of Earth. "It is our right to travel there.â€
Sookie and Pee-Paw return to Bon Temps. The grandfather has a pocket watch with him. He insists that Sookie give it to Jason. But that's about all he can request, because Pee-Paw has eaten the light-up fruit, so he cannot remain on the mortal plane. He dies, conveniently enough, right next to Gran's grave.
When Sookie arrives back at her house, or what she thinks is her house, she sees that everything is being packed by movers and retouched by folksy looking handymen. She doesn't get it, but clearly time is a bit wonky in disco fruit land, because, here in Bon Temps, Sookie has been gone for more than a year. Jason arrives home and hugs her like the dickens.
Bombshell: Jason has, um, kind of sold the house. That's the bad news. But he officially works full time for the sheriff now and has a uniform and everything! Hey, that's great!
We also learn that a strange real estate company has purchased the house; it's not immediately clear whether the company is made up of flesh-eating zombies or blobs. Sookie tries to explain that she went to fairy land and that's why she was gone for so long. She produces Pee-Paw's pocket watch, which totally blows Jason's mind.
"Time stands still there and no one knows it,†Sookie insists.
It's sunset, so Bill shows up running like Buster Keaton in an overcranked short movie from the 1920s. Bill has been "so empty†for 12 months, and he pours on the broodiness, but then -- Hi, Eric Northman! You're looking fine, I must say. Eric says he's the only one who never gave up on Sookie. Even Bill gave up on Sookie, so there.
Now Andy Bellefleur arrives, ready to file a kidnapping complaint against whatever varmint what took Sookie. Apparently, Bill has been living under a cloud of suspicion connected with Sookie's disappearance. Sookie insists that no one is to blame, and Bill steps in to tell a white lie: Sookie was gone on, um, vampire business.
Sookie tells Bill that she's still smarting over the way Bill broke her heart, and, even though he ran all the way over there and everything, he takes his leave.
As for Bellefleur, looks like he's been dipping into vampire blood in his spare time. Jason is not pleased.
Lafayette and his bruja BF arrive at a place called the Moon Goddess Emporium. Jesus really wants Lafayette to meet the nice witches there. Lafayette isn't too keen, because he prefers to live magic-free, but he loves Jesus, so he plays along. Â
"Smells like where old air fresheners go to die,†Lafayette says of the presumably incense-filled shop. (The set decorator also has been busy buying up every candle in Louisiana.)
Holly the white witch waitress is there to greet them, as is a very enthusiastic witch named Katie and a very, very enthusiastic cohort who goes by Marnie. Marnie is "fishing†in another plane at the moment and can't talk, but we're told she's a fantastic witch.
Marnie spots the boys and beckons with her fantastic witch hand. Then Marnie begins to speak to Lafayette on behalf of Eddie, the late vampire. Eddie has an invisible rose for Lafayette, and a message: "They drained me, Lafayette, but it's OK. It was a worth it.â€
Now let's take a peek into Casa de Terry Bellefleur. Oh, hey, little fella! Looks like Arlene's demon baby has arrived, and he's a beaut. Mikey is already sitting up and decapitating Barbie dolls, the little scamp.
As for Tara, she and her anger problem have made their way to New Orleans. She is a cage match fighter, a prize champ, in fact, and she seems to love it.
As for Jessica, she and Hoyt appeared to have settled in nicely -- or perhaps not. Hoyt comes home hungry after a long day slinging asphalt only to learn that the pots are cold. Jessica, after all, does not eat, ergo, according to her logic, she should not cook.
"Going to the Piggly Wiggly for me is like going to the morgue for you,†Jessica says. She then has a mini-meltdown over a dozen undercooked eggs before they laugh and make up.
Pam, meantime, still runs Fangtasia, much to the chagrin of Nan, the head of the American Vampire League, who has hired Eric's voracious sidekick to film a PSA. The PSA is supposed to smooth things over between the human and vampire communities. But Pam just comes off like she wants to eat every person she sees, so Eric steps in. He nails it, and with hotness to spare.
Lo, what is this? It appears that Vampire Bill also has gotten active in local politics. He ushers in a community center while Eric is killing it in front of the camera. It's all very intriguing, sort of like when hold the phone Tarahasagirlfriend.
Tara and Naomi, for that is her name, are making out right now behind the fight venue when a drunk comes up and disrespects their dignity. They threaten to beat him up but just take his money instead. One other detail: Naomi calls her lady Toni.
Sookie and Sam meet up at Merlotte's. Sam is bitter at the way Sookie just up and vanished into fairy land like that. But back in the kitchen, the tension is even higher. Lafayette tells his bruja he ain't ready for no witch cult, but before they can get into it, Andy storms in. Sheriff's business! Andy needs help with an undercover sting operation, he says, involving, um, vampire blood. Andy is jonesin' bad. Lafayette is lucky that Jason steps in just then.Â
Tommy Merlotte limps in next with a bum leg, accompanied by Hoyt's maw. The two of them say grace real loud, getting the attention of Sam. They needle each other for a bit longer, which should lead to hold on a second: Tara and Naomi are making out again. But it's hotness interruptus when Lafayette texts to say that Sookie is alive. Tara lies and says that her grand-dad died, but she's not going anywhere.
Attorney Portia Bellefleur is meeting with Sookie to discuss the sale of Mee-Maw's old homestead. Portia agrees to help Sookie get her house back from the mystery buyers, but her thoughts tell another story: Portia really thinks Sookie is a dirty little fang banger.
Hoyt takes Jessica out to Fangtasia, where her dirty dancin' style quickly attracts the attention of a random hot guy. Jessica and the guy -- a fang banger himself -- have some eerie connection of the supernatural variety, but Jessica blows him off and does her best to dance with the man what brought her. Jessica runs to the bathroom to get her act together, but Pam heads her off. Pam reminds Jessica that she's a vampire, and needs to be doing more killing and shagging, but Jessica will have none of it.
Sam Merlotte is at a dinner party with three mysterious beautiful people who are all shape-shifters. One is named Luna. They all get naked and turn into horses and run free through the nature.
Jason brings food to the poor urchins of Sure Shot, who still have a love for raw meat. Crystal is MIA, we learn, which means Jason is alone, which is bad, because the Sure Shot kids clock him over the head and lock him in a freezer.
At the next witch coven, Marnie is mourning her dead budgie, Minerva. Lafayette rolls his eyes while they all pray over poor Minerva -- up until the part where Marnie briefly brings the bird back to life. Even Holly is freaked out by this unexpected turn of events. And speaking of unexpected turn of events, the cute witch Katie is not what she seems. She's still a witch, apparently, but she's also a witch who hangs out with vampires -- specifically Vampire Bill, who now goes by the title "Your Majesty.â€
Sookie has just gotten out of the shower, which means something is about to happen, and it does. Eric shows up in all his resplendent hotness, and he makes a big announcement: He owns Sookie's house. By his logic, that means he also owns Sookie.
Now, if Eric Northman showed up at our house and said he owned us, this would be good news. For Sookie, apparently, it isn't.
Or is it? We'll have to wait for next week to find out.
What'd you think of the premiere?

Hi all,
Lovin' the '74 show until the vocals were basically lost on Loose Lucy and Big River.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I can't imagine it is a manufacturing defect.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hey wdihwip,
welcome to the wonky world of the Wall of Sound. Sometimes things would drop for no reason. It's likely not a manufacturing defect but a problem with the soundboard recording itself. If the sound system cut out, whatever was played between then and when the crew fixed it is lost.
I remember the first time I heard some 74 properly adjusted. I had headphones on and was grinning ear to ear at Phil's HUGE sound and then *poof* he was gone. It was like my strong right arm went missing. He was back a few bars later, and that was my intro to the Wall of Sound.

Promoter Joe DeGuardia is in Howard Beale mode. Saturday night, the Bronx resident determined that enough is enough. I'm mad as hell at this Pacquiao-Bradley decision, he thought, and I'm going to do something beyond kicking and screaming and then waiting for the next goofup.
The head of the Boxing Promoters Association told NYFightBlog that he is calling a meeting of the association and will firmly request that reps from all the athletic commissions attend, so some updated standards and practices for judges can be put into place. He has seen enough wacky decisions, and has had enough of the emails and texts from fight fans who label the sport corrupt and tell him they are done with boxing.
DeGuardia sent out a letter to nearly 60 promoters, which he termed a "call to action. We have to go forward, do things that need to be done to protect boxers from the people who are supposed to be protecting them, the regulators," he said to me.
"We have a sport in which the people who have the most interest in maintaining the credibility of the sport and its financial strength have no input whatsoever on who the officials are. We're going to make sure we take the steps to correct these types of things."
NYFightBlog obtained a copy of the letter, from sources other from DeGuardia:
"On Saturday night there was another decision rendered in a major fight (Pacquaio-Bradley) that jeopardizes the sanctity of our sport and requires immediate action by the boxing world but especially the boxing promoters," the letter started. "The Boxing Promoters Association (BPA) was formed to protect the integrity of the sport and force action upon the state regulators throughout the United States when warranted. The time has come for the promoters to take real action to remedy the all too often outlandish decisions made by State appointed referees and judges that effectively jeopardize the future of our sport, the fighters and the fans."
DeGuardia said he scored the controversial fight in question, the Pacquiao-Bradley tussle, "obviously in favor of Pacquiao." He cited other recent decisions, like the one in which fan favorite Brandon Rios got the nod over Richard Abril on April 14, also in Las Vegas, which spurred fight fans to pepper DeGuardia with negative comments about the sweet science.
In the BPA letter, it reads: "We are no longer willing to tolerate the unprofessional, errant and what some perceive as corrupt scoring that has reached its boiling point with fighters, media and fans alike."
DeGuardia wants the BPA to have a larger role in the sport; judges to be graded and to be chosen not based on political influence, but with input from the promoters; and remedial training for those in need.
"To me, this judging issue is a vital part of our sport, and if the public believes there is something improper going on, we have to fix it," he said.

Students not practicing good academic citizenship may be subject to disciplinary action including suspension, dismissal, or financial holds on records.
All members of the College community are responsible for reviewing the Academic Code of Conduct Policy in the College Catalog and online at www.tesc.edu.
Thomas Edison State College expects all of its students to approach their education with academic integrity—the pursuit of scholarly activity free from fraud and deception. All mentors and administrative staff members at the College insist on strict standards of academic honesty in all courses. Academic dishonesty undermines this objective. Academic dishonesty can take the following forms:
Thomas Edison State College is committed to helping students understand the seriousness of plagiarism, which is defined as using the work and ideas of others without proper citation. The College takes a strong stance against plagiarism, and students found to be plagiarizing are subject to discipline under the academic code of conduct policy.
If you copy phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or whole documents word-for-word—or if you paraphrase by changing a word here and there—without identifying the author, or without identifying it as a direct quote, then you are plagiarizing. Please keep in mind that this type of identification applies to Internet sources as well as to print-based sources. Copying and pasting from the Internet, without using quotation marks and without acknowledging sources, constitutes plagiarism. (For information about how to cite Internet sources, see Online Student Handbook > Academic Standards > "Citing Sources.")
Accidentally copying the words and ideas of another writer does not excuse the charge of plagiarism. It is easy to jot down notes and ideas from many sources and then write your own paper without knowing which words are your own and which are someone else's. It is more difficult to keep track of each and every source. However, the conscientious writer who wishes to avoid plagiarizing never fails to keep careful track of sources.
Always be aware that if you write without acknowledging the sources of your ideas, you run the risk of being charged with plagiarism.
Clearly, plagiarism, no matter the degree of intent to deceive, defeats the purpose of education. If you plagiarize deliberately, you are not educating yourself, and you are wasting your time on courses meant to improve your skills. If you plagiarize through carelessness, you are deceiving yourself.

Acts of both intentional and unintentional plagiarism violate the Academic Code of Conduct.
If an incident of plagiarism is an isolated minor oversight or an obvious result of ignorance of proper citation requirements, the mentor may handle the matter as a learning exercise. Appropriate consequences may include the completion of tutorials, assignment rewrites, or any other reasonable learning tool in addition to a lower grade for the assignment or course. The mentor will notify the student and appropriate dean of the consequence by e-mail.
If the plagiarism appears intentional and/or is more than an isolated incident, the mentor will refer the matter to the appropriate dean, who will gather information about the violation(s) from the mentor and student, as necessary. The dean will review the matter and notify the student in writing of the specifics of the charge and the sanction to be imposed.
Possible sanctions include:

I am obsessed with the idea of converting part of our home's addition to a laundry room. The addition already exists, so no construction is necessary. The room is on the back of the house, and there is a hose bib back there, but no hot water.
I think about the possibility of having a big laundry room and converting my laundry pass-through into a nice storage area for the kids school stuff, our bags, shoes etc all.the.time. I was wondering if anyone had done something similar and could ball-park me a cost. I need to know if I should just shut my dreams down, or start making a financial plan. We're in the process of selling our rental property, and we should make some money on it...but I can't sink too much of that into renovating my laundry room. Anyone have any experience in this?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Marpc wonderful mat I love this mat. It is so soft and luxurious. Instead of stepping on cold hard tile, I stand on my amazing Memory Foam Bath Rug while putting on my makeup. It is great. July 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by cooper2 Relaxing comfort Yes, you do indulge with comfort when you step out of the shower on the Memory Foam Bath Rug. December 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wilks Bath Rug Great bath rug.....it feels so nice under foot when getting out of the shower. We really like it!. November 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by SeasideHeights Memory Foam Bathroom Rugs They are incredible, a little long and the door won't closed, but the memory form rug is far superior than your other rugs. I have to say I've been unhappy with my recent purchases for the outdoor mats, they fade easily and I have to keep ordering, perhaps I should change companies and try out someone besides Frontgate for outdoor rugs. October 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BuddyLove 'short' memory foam From the product description I expected a thicker more firm memory foam. It's ok but I was underwhelmed. Decided to keep them anyway since they were better than a Terry cloth bath mat. But I would have liked a product that better matched the description. December 19, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by mrmarketcap Functional but unattractive This item does a nice job of absorbing water but is very unattractive. Also it is difficult to clean and due to thickness it will not fit under a typical door. January 5, 2014

Day 1
Weight = 251
Breakfast was eaten at work and consisted of 1 banana and one hardboiled egg. I know the banana was not the best choice and was probably the reason why I got hungry after only a couple of hours.
Took a walk around the distribution center where I work. My shop is about a quarter mile from my desk, makes getting some walking in easy. Walking involves carrying my oxygen tank so I always have an extra 8 pounds to lug around. Great for doing curls.
I could of used a snack between breakfast and lunch.
Lunch was a primal salad. Two handfuls of leafy greens, ¼ orange bell pepper, 1 hardboiled egg, ½ an avocado, a handful of cherry tomatoes, a small handful of mixed berries, a couple pinches of pumpkin seeds and two tablespoons of a sugar free and unsweetened dressing. The dressing did have an organic canola/olive oil base. A small failure there.
On my way to Pulmonary Rehab I had another unconscious failure. When I hopped in the Jeep I popped a couple pieces of gum into my mouth to freshen my breath. I took me about 10 minutes to realize that I was chewing some artificial gunk that I really didn't need to do any more. I'll have to figure something else out if I want fresh breath for Pulm Rehab. I just hate the idea of brushing my teeth at work.
Exercises at Pulm Rehab consisted of the following exercises:
Two treadmill sessions. First at 2.5 mph and second at 2 mph. Seven minutes each session.
One session on the Nu Step. Averaged 59 Watts at a resistance level of 6. 67 steps/minute.
Worked on an arm machine that I don't know the name of for two minutes.
Did the following weight exercises using 5 lb weights, 7 reps each activity.
- Bicep curls
- Overhead press
- Tricep extension
- Chest press
Did 10 reps at light weight on the following machines
- Leg extension
- Leg curl
- Rotary torso
- Reverse chest fly
- Lateral pull
I know these exercises are not in line with the blueprint, but I have 6 to 8 weeks of pulm rehab left to go. I talked with the therapists about using one of the machines to do sprints on occasionally, probably the Nu Step. We'll have to see how my blood oxygen sats go with the regular exercises. After pulm rehab I will start exercising according to the blueprint.
Stopped by Whole Foods to get some snacks for work and more avocados. Was looking forward to getting some jerky. Really disappointed that the second ingredient for all of the jerky's was sugar. I did find some beef and lamb bars that have no added sugar or preservatives. The brand is "Epic". Looks pretty cool.
Dinner is baked split chicken breast, salad with avocado and orange bell pepper, and steamed broccoli.
Note to self: Slow down and chew your food. Make some snaks to take to work this weekend and make a nice primal salad dressing.

LOS ANGELES -- Among the stars of Saturday's Lakers preseason loss to the Jazz was Robert Sacre, whose nine-point/10-rebound/three-block/limitless-hustle performance marked the latest example of "Mr. Irrelevant" capitalizing on the unavailability of Dwight Howard and Jordan Hill. Thus, a slew of media types predictably swarmed after the game around his locker, which happens to be next to Pau Gasol's, who eventually made his way through the sea of bodies to take a seat and address questions of his own. Before Sacre could even move, Gasol was peppered with questions about Sacre ... with the lad still sitting there.
Strangely, nobody beyond me and BK (who you can hear giggling in the video below), seemed to recognize the hilarious awkwardness unfolding. I mean, asking Pau if he could picture Sacre helping the team with the kid not even six inches away is essentially a Saturday Night Live skit. Upon Pau affirming Sacre's ability to help, Brian then asked if he would answer the question differently were the rookie not within earshot. Everyone laughed, the players shared a few yuks over the absurdity of the situation ... then Pau was immediately offered another question about Sacre.
Occasionally, an NBA locker room emerges a goldmine of unintentional comedy.
