Rear Pinion Oil Seal Help
Hey WF,
So yesterday I noticed the great smell of Burning Differential Oil on the way to my buddies house to replace rotors and brake pads. Upon arrival noticed that my Diff oil was leaking from the drive shaft end, and, subsequently being sprayed everywhere underneath; to include my exhaust (hence the burning oil part).
Anyway I'm trying to get ready for a 3 day wheeling trip that is coming up in less than two weeks now.
What do I need to do to replace it? And is it entirely necessary to fix since the pinion seal is above the oil level and only gets sprayed out when on long distance trips on the highway (have to make one LD trip to there and back)
PS. I have a 2004 Rubicon, and have recently changed my diff oil to conventional 85-140. Seems unrelated since it happened 3 weeks after the change, but figured it could be of some use.
First, mark a straight line on the end of the driveshaft, across the pinion yoke so you can line it back up when you reconnect the driveshaft to the rear axle. Disconnect the driveshaft at the rear axle, and then you remove the nut and washer holding the pinion yoke to the pinion. Use a puller to remove that yoke. Once that is removed, you can pull the old seal out, lube up a new seal, and then install it with a seal installer. Then you put the nut and washer back on the pinion and torque it to spec. If you want to get fancy, you can use an inch-pound measuring torque wrench to rotate the pinion nut a few times before removing the old seal to record how many in/lbs it takes to turn the pinion, because you want it to be the same after you install the new seal and torque the nut back down.
But before doing all of that, have you checked the rear axle vent tube to make sure it's working? If it's clogged, you'll build up pressure in the axle housing and blow out the seal. Also, did you over-fill the rear differential when you changed to the new fluid? Over-filling can causing it to foam up and create pressure, which you'll need if you're blowing gear oil out of the pinion end of a differential. Hope that helps.
If it is leaking bad enough to be spraying, then yes, it is necessary. Especially with a big trip planned.
Be aware, the big yoke nut is supposed to be one time use only. Dealer only from what i could find unless you get one online. Doesn't hurt to put some blue loctite on it as well. Torque to spec.
Okay, so update:
First; When I changed the Diff fluid, I put 2 1/2 Quarts in the rear. This was more than "stock" but even less than I was told to put in with aftermarket diff covers. Yesterday was the first time since the change that A: I was above 55MPH and B: Driving for more than 30 minutes at a time. So I don't know if that had something to do with it.
Second; from what I'm understanding about the process of changing the seal it seems I just disconnect the drive shaft and replace everything from the Back side? Whereas I was led to believe earlier that I would have to take out axle shafts, gears, etc... and replace it from the Inside. Am I correct? Also replace the "big yoke nut" as well?
Third; Now that I am driving around at normal speed it seems to only be dripping from the driver side rear (where I believe the breather tube dumps.) But can't tell if its just left over oil that was trapped from the gas tank skid, or actual overflowing.
I wasn't aware that the yoke nut was a one-time use fastener, but good to know Shark.
Ah, ok Jode, I didn't know you had an aftermarket cover. I'm guessing the fill plug is also higher than the stock diff. cover fill plug? It definitely sounds like the gear oil is foaming up and blowing out now. The best solution would be to replace that pinion seal. I would also look at your stock cover, and see about where the fluid would hit the fill plug on it once the differential is topped off, and try to only fill it up to that height using the new cover. Just stick a finger in the fill hole on the new cover and feel the fluid level until it hits the point where it would have been leaking out of the stock diff. cover fill hole.
I've heard you can add about 1/2 cup of automatic transmission fluid to gear oil in the differential to prevent foaming, but I've never tried it personally, so I'm not sure how well it will work. You could always use a suction gun to pull out some of the gear oil you have in there, and try the ATF idea. I think in the very least you need to pull out some gear oil. Let us know how it goes.
Also want to check your yoke (once out) surface for any grooves where the old seal has worn into it. If there is grooves in it this will cause a loose fit with the new pinion seal and it will leak again. I had this happen to me. I replaced the pinion seal for a second time EXCEPT this time i took the circular spring out of the new seal. You then find the end where the spring disconnects or conects to itself in a circle. On the female end of the spring clip off a couple centimeters and reconnect the spring and put it back in the seal. This allows the seal to ride just a bit more tightly around the yoke. I did this about 8 months ago and my diff is dry as could be.
Changing a pinion peal is pretty straight forward, just take you time getting things out. There's a few youtubes on it and if you've never done it, id suggest watching one. An impact wrench makes removing the pinion nut short work. Be careful taking out the old seal. On the Rubi I just did, the seal was tight and the RTV used on the original install made its removal tough. I essentially destroyed the thing removing it. As bmbillups says, check the yoke. If its groove badly, it needs to be replaced. Small groove can be worked around as suggested. When installing the new seal, go light on the RTV, you don't need much. Be sure everything goes back the way it came out including the driveshaft u-joint positioning. Torque it up and you're ready to roll. Good luck
Thanks guys!
Yea I watched videos on it yesterday morning. My buddy is going to let me use his garage this friday.
Only hiccup I have is I don't have the gear puller that they use in the videos; and when I called autozone to explain what I needed to do, and the tool I would need to rent from them they said since all I know what it was called is a gear puller that I'm pretty much stupid and I would have to pick between things that might work. Lol so does anyone know if there's a specific name for it? Or do I even need it?
I think just about any 2-jaw or 3-jaw puller will work. The on I did was not difficult to get off with a small puller, but I don't know if you could get it off without one. I used something that looked like this:
3 Piece Two-Jaw Puller Set
It just needs to be large enough to get around the yoke.
10 Attachment(s)
Everything else has been covered. New nut is very important, torque everything down to spec. I don't know what the spec for the D44 is off the top of my head, but it's going to be in the 200 ft/lb range. USE A TORQUE WRENCH.
Okay Thanks guys. Picking up the seal today and either a two or three jaw puller today. But no one in town seems to have the pinion nut... So I've heard reusing with some blue or red loctite is okay? Thoughts?
And I think my vent tube was clogged. But I think that it blew the clog and the pinion seal at the same time, because now I'm only dripping from my driverside rear corner (where my breather tube is routed).
Oh well, lesson learned for next time; Check breather tube when changing diff fluid in case you're an idiot and overfill it :rofl:

April 1, 2010
Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley maintained an even temperament about his team's first spring scrimmage, a two-hour affair Thursday at Neyland Stadium.
"It was pretty typical of a first scrimmage," Dooley said. "The defense was very dominant early in the scrimmage; offense really struggling to get a first down.
"Then after halftime, the defense is feeling pretty good and they give up a big play to start the second half. It happens all the time. (Tauren) Poole makes a great run, it energizes the offense and they come right back and put another drive together that leads to a touchdown pass."
Poole's big play was a 67-yard touchdown scamper that looked like it was going nowhere around left end. The junior tailback then cut back through the defense to the middle of the field into open territory, finishing the run with another cut left and waltzing the final 10 yards into the end zone.
Matt Simms hit Zach Rogers for a 22-yard touchdown on the ensuing drive to complete the sudden offensive outburst.
Poole carried nine times for 94 yards, and Dooley says the Toccoa, Ga., product appears to be taking advantage of his opportunity.
"He's been a real steady hand at the No. 1 spot. He's got a lot of work to do to be a good runner, a durable runner and an effective runner, but right now he's been our most productive runner."
Tennessee's trio of quarterbacks were not as productive behind their, as Dooley called it, "100 percent new" offensive line. Simms, Nick Stephens -- who got Thursday's start -- and Tyler Bray combined to go 17-of-42 passing for 158 yards and two touchdowns against two interceptions.
"You always hope they will play better than they do," Dooley said. "Some of them have a little more anxiety because it's the first scrimmage and they want to do well. It's important to learn to just relax, play and let the game come to you."
Defensively, converted fullback Austin Johnson led with eight tackles from his new linebacker spot, adding an interception of Bray in the team's two-minute drill. Herman Lathers made seven stops, while Shane Reveiz, Jacques Smith and Willie Bohannon all added six tackles apiece. Senior end Chris Walker contributed two of the defense's numerous sacks among his four stops and Janzen Jackson turned in a sparking interception of a Simms ball.
"We're not playing vanilla defense," Dooley said. "We're bringing pressure when you should bring pressure in a game. I wouldn't say we're throwing the kitchen sink at the offense but we're also not making it easy on them.
"You've got to keep pushing the envelope because that's what the other teams are going to do. The only way you learn how to handle it is to go out there and keep doing it. It can get frustrating. But if you keep working on vanilla, when it's time to get to the hard stuff you're not going to be ready. We keep pushing the envelope probably faster than we should all the time and we do that on purpose."
Dooley said the numerous new players, especially on offense, means it won't be a quick fix putting everything together. The Vols are at the halfway point of their spring schedule, with just seven workouts remaining until the April 17 Dish Network Orange and White Game.
"I think what is evident out there is we have a lot of new faces. Developing that chemistry with both units is going to take a lot of time. We saw a little bit more (chemistry) on the defensive side because there are more familiar faces. They've been out there together and encouraged each other.
"On offense -- a lot of new faces. That's going to be a work in progress."
The Vols have the Easter weekend off and return to practice Tuesday for the first of three consecutive days on Haslam Field.
Rushing Leaders: Tauren Poole 9 for 94 yards, TD; David Oku 14 for 23 yards; Toney Williams 7 for 12 yards.
Passing Leaders: Nick Stephens 3-of-9, 6 yards; Matt Simms 6-of-20, 83 yards, TD, int.; Tyler Bray 8-of-13, 69 yards, TD, int.
Receiving Leaders: Marsalis Teague 2 for 29 yards; Gerald Jones 2 for 16 yards; Matt Milton 2 for 11 yards; Zach Rogers 1 for 22 yards, TD; Kevin Cooper 1 for 18 yards; Ted Meline 1 for 14 yards, TD; Ben Lehning 1 for 12 yards; Todd Campbell 1 for 10 yards.

Allied Military Government 1945-1947
Two pieces, one long and one short, start off our collection on Allied Military Government in the Mediteranean. Both of them focus on Col. Alfred C. Bowman, whose contributions to the postwar reconstruction of Italy had an (excuse this now overused but apt word) awesome impact in Italy and especially in Venezia Giulia and Trieste.
The first and longer piece, What Happened in Trieste ..., a .txt file, touches briefly on the AMG organization in the Mediterranean, on Bowman's experience in the Emilia Region in the Spring of 1945, and in more depth on his two years as Senior Civil Affairs Officer of the British-American Occupation Zone of Venezia-Giulia, British XIII Corps.
The second and shorter piece, Col. Bowman Goes Home ..., is important primarily for what it reveals of the Italian and Jugoslav feelings about our occupation and the uncertain partition of that border region to produce the United Nations administered Free Territory of Trieste.
Bowman's description of his, of AMG's, mission in Venezia Giulia and Trieste was "to feed, clothe, and house the people, to maintain public order, and to prevent disease and unrest, until the final disposition of the territory."
More information on the evolving political situation in that region can be found in the Settling the Question of Trieste [Intelligence Review] documents previously published here.
Look also at our PDF file from the Military Encyclopedia, Chapter 14, Allied Military Government, which provides a great deal of detail on operations and organization throughout the Mediterranean campaigns.
Greater detail on the postwar period can be found in "Zones of Strain: A Memoir of the Early Cold War", by Alfred Connor Bowman; published by the Hoover Institution Press, Stanford CA, 1982; ISBN 0-8179-7731-7.

No one will be forgetting Memories of Silver any time soon, because her daughter, Winter Memories, won some the same races at Saratoga as her dam.

A headstone ceremony honoring deceased champion Little Current will be held April 28 starting at 1 p.m. at Doug Arnold's Buck Pond Farm near Versailles, Ky.
By Steve Haskin -- To anyone, the name Little Current evokes tranquil images of a gently flowing river or stream. To me, it evokes a different kind of tranquility; one of lazy spring afternoons and newborn foals and carefree yearlings dashing up and down rolling hills with joyous abandon. It also evokes images of a very special Triple Crown.

Baha Mar Caribbean Resort Celebrates Anniversary First Groundbreaking
Posted on March 5, 2012
Baha Mar, a huge resort development underway in the Caribbean, recently celebrated the first anniversary of its groundbreaking. The 1,000-acre, $3.5 billion resort, gaming and entertainment complex is slated to open in late 2014. It will include some of the world's most famous hotel brands, including Mondrian, Rosewood and Grand Hyatt. Baha Mar also plans to develop 300 highly exclusive residential condominiums and villas, available for private ownership.
Baha Mar says the entire Cable Beach area has been transformed by the newly diverted West Bay Street. The new public roadway now borders six acres of natural wetlands, lakes and parks, including walking trails, gazebos and boardwalks open for public enjoyment. The new Baha Mar Commercial Village has also been constructed. It includes three new financial institutions, a state of the art Police and Fire Station and a Pompey Market straw and crafts marketplace.

Moob's of the Day Wednesday, June 6, 2012
I really didn't want to go here my Fans, Friends and Freaks.Because of the lack of Boobs sent to email@example.com, I will have to lower the standards (DAMN) and post MOOB'S of the day. Ladies and Gentleman this can not happen continue!!!
Please don't just download pictures off of porn sites or other people's sites and send them to Ronson.
"PEOPLE OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD"!!!! Let's hope this sad day with no boobs is just a fluke and tomorrow we will be back to enjoying Scott's boobs of the day that we depend upon!
If you would like your boobs posted on El Paso Boobs of the Day, take a beautiful picture of your boobs, write a short bio or some info about yourself, and send them to: email@example.com in those photos, Ladies.


text: LOL, apologies if I struck a nerve. I'm just not about being in that big of a hurry, anymore. (generally) Too stressful. I plan my time such that I can get there early, and enjoy the trip. If it means that some hot head (not speaking of anyone in particular) misses the light because I didn't tailgate the guy in front of me...c'est la vie.

I'm reading Jan Guillou's Tempelriddaren (the knight templar in english). Its the second part of his crusades trilogy. The main character is Arn Magnusson. a young man who is forced by a cruel fate to become a knight templar. The first part tells about childhood and youth in sveden..and all those disputed between various svedish nobles. Intresting stuff. and ofcourse his training and what lead him on that harsh path. Great reading so far, if you like historical novels, don't miss this.

Speech and language
Language difficulties in children who have Fragile X range from mild stuttering to more severe problems with basic language skills. Basic language skills include the ability to pronounce words clearly, to speak and write using words and grammar correctly, and to communicate in meaningful ways.
Females with Fragile X rarely have severe problems with speech or language. In fact, many have vocabulary and grammar skills that are appropriate for their age, which can help them learn to read and write. However, their social anxiety and shyness may get in the way of communication. Some females with Fragile X speak in a rambling, disorganized way or often get off the subject. Most males with Fragile X have more serious problems expressing themselves. These difficulties typically include problems speaking clearly and other problems with language that can be moderate to severe. In terms of speech, males with Fragile X often have problems coordinating the structures, vocal processes (such as pitch, loudness, and tone), and movements needed for clear speech. They often have difficulty receiving and processing spoken information, such as following spoken directions, storing words and concepts for future use, and creating their own meaningful responses to questions or comments.
Males with Fragile X may stutter or leave sounds out of their words. Many repeat themselves, restart the same sentence many times, or ask the same question again and again. Some may talk too fast, mumble, or speak in a loud, high voice. Some of these difficulties may be due to sensory overload or social anxiety, rather than a problem with the parts of the brain that control speech and language.
Perhaps most importantly, males with Fragile X usually have difficulty using speech and language in social contexts. They often seem unaware of conversational "clues," such as facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language. As a result, they may speak out of turn, fail to answer a question, or turn away because they aren't sure what to do. Unlike males with other developmental disorders, like autism, males with Fragile X seem to be very interested in communicating, but may experience sensory overload or social overload when they try to hold a conversation.
For some children, language problems are more severe. Many children with Fragile X begin talking later than expected. Most begin using words around age four, but some may not talk until age of six or eight.6 Most talk eventually, but some may remain nonverbal throughout life. For these nonverbal children, a wide variety of picture-based and computer-based devices may help them to communicate, which could also reduce behavior difficulties that result from not being able to talk. Pictures, sign language, and generic gestures can also be helpful for all children with Fragile X, before they start talking.

London Broncos chairman David Hughes believes his team will finally fulfil its potential in 2013 and is urging fans to get down to The Stoop for what promises to be an exciting season.
With head coach Tony Rea overseeing a tough pre-season alongside Mick Howell, new assistant Ben Fisher and a new strength and conditioning coach in Barny Allen, he feels that the building blocks are in place for a much better campaign.
"Tony's massively positive about the pre-season," said Hughes. "It's a demanding scenario under this regime. All the players are back and training well, there's a determined feel and momentum about the place.
"Everyone is pumped up and Tony's particularly pleased with how the individuals have taken to pre-season training. I feel that this is the year when we finally fulfil our potential and we need the supporters to get behind us at The Stoop."
Hughes realises how important home support is to a successful team and making The Stoop a daunting place for visiting teams can make a huge difference. He is urging season ticket holders to renew and therefore the renewal deadline has been extended to January 31. The renewal price will apply to any previous season ticket holders from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 season who have not yet renewed
Rea said: "The squad is showing signs of a great work ethic, an intent to perform and a good resolve to be their best. They understand we've got to work really hard to move in the right direction and we're certainly doing that.
"We want to see the hunger in our performance, we live and breathe consistency. We want them to understand the value of the jersey and be proud to be in London. It's about committing to the cause and the club and to what London's about.
"We understand where the club has to be and what that means. We're conscious of what we're doing and why we're doing it. We're prepared to work and fight for it."
Tickets can be purchased by calling the ticket office on 020 8410 6000 or online via www.londonbroncosrl.com.

MYBPC3 gene
myosin binding protein C, cardiac
The MYBPC3 gene provides instructions for making the cardiac myosin binding protein C (cardiac MyBP-C), which is found in heart (cardiac) muscle cells. In these cells, cardiac MyBP-C is associated with a structure called the sarcomere, which is the basic unit of muscle contraction. Sarcomeres are made up of thick and thin filaments. The overlapping thick and thin filaments attach to each other and release, which allows the filaments to move relative to one another so that muscles can contract. Regular contractions of cardiac muscle pump blood to the rest of the body.
In cardiac muscle sarcomeres, cardiac MyBP-C attaches to thick filaments and keeps them from being broken down. Cardiac MyBP-C has chemical groups called phosphate groups attached to it; when the phosphate groups are removed, cardiac MyBP-C is broken down, followed by the breakdown of the proteins of the thick filament. Cardiac MyBP-C also regulates the rate of muscle contraction, although the mechanism is not fully understood.
Genetics Home Reference provides information about familial dilated cardiomyopathy.
Mutations in the MYBPC3 gene are a common cause of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, accounting for up to 30 percent of all cases. This condition is characterized by thickening (hypertrophy) of the cardiac muscle. Although some people with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have no obvious health effects, all affected individuals have an increased risk of heart failure and sudden death.
MYBPC3 gene mutations that cause familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy lead to an abnormally short or otherwise altered cardiac MyBP-C protein. It is unknown how these changes cause hypertrophy of the heart muscle.
Mutations in the MYBPC3 gene have been associated with other heart conditions. Mutations have been found in people with dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular noncompaction. However, the role MYBPC3 gene mutations play in either condition is unclear. Dilated cardiomyopathy weakens and enlarges the heart, preventing it from pumping blood efficiently. Affected individuals have an increased risk of heart failure and premature death. Left ventricular noncompaction occurs when the lower left chamber of the heart (left ventricle) does not develop correctly. The heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump blood efficiently, often leading to heart failure. Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) can also occur in individuals with left ventricular noncompaction.

What Does Mutual Fund Mean? An investment vehicle that is made up of a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and similar assets. Mutual funds are operated by money mangers, who invest the fund's capital and attempt to produce capital gains and income for the fund's investors. A mutual fund's portfolio is structured and maintained to match the investment objectives stated in its prospectus.
What Does Hedge Fund Mean? An aggressively managed portfolio of investments that uses advanced investment strategies such as leveraged, long, short and derivative positions in both domestic and international markets with the goal of generating high returns (either in an absolute sense or over a specified market benchmark). Legally, hedge funds are most often set up as private investment partnerships that are open to a limited number of investors and require a very large initial minimum investment. Investments in hedge funds are illiquid as they often require investors keep their money in the fund for at least one year.
Hedge Fund For the most part, hedge funds (unlike mutual funds) are unregulated because they cater to sophisticated investors. In the U.S., laws require that the majority of investors in the fund be accredited. That is, they must earn a minimum amount of money annually and have a net worth of more than $1 million, along with a significant amount of investment knowledge. You can think of hedge funds as mutual funds for the super rich. They are similar to mutual funds in that investments are pooled and professionally managed, but differ in that the fund has far more flexibility in its investment strategies. It is important to note that hedging is actually the practice of attempting to reduce risk, but the goal of most hedge funds is to maximize return on investment. The name is XXXXX XXXXX as the first hedge funds tried to hedge against the downside risk of a bear market by shorting the market (mutual funds generally can't enter into short positions as one of their primary goals). Nowadays, hedge funds use dozens of different strategies, so it isn't accurate to say that hedge funds just "hedge risk". In fact, because hedge fund managers make speculative investments, these funds can carry more risk than the overall market.
Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs) are very much like mutual funds. That is, they are baskets of stock that are bought and sold. They differ from mutual funds in that shares of ETFs can be traded at any time while the host stock market is open. This added flexibility has one drawback in that to trade an ETF, you incur a broker fee.
ETFs then are best traded in relatively large batches that keep the trading fee to a very small percentage or fraction of a percentage of the total cost. They are ideal for picking up stocks when there's an irrational dip in prices since an order can be placed in real-time.
Many ETFs are based on an index making them exchange traded index funds. An index fund is a passively managed collection of stocks that represent a particular region, sector, or asset class. One of the more common index funds is one that closely matches the holdings and performance of the S&P 500. Other common index funds match the S&P 400 (mid-cap) and S&P 600 (small-cap).

And The Swans
There, finally got it done. Takes so long mostly because I can't bare working with it in Photoshop (colouring and doing backgrounds). These comics are scanned in at an okay resolution for print, so they're fairly big, and after I've got all the different layers and stuff going on, it really slows my machine down, to the point of serious frustration. It used to be better before my second hard drive died, it acted as a scratch disk. Anyway, this is the last of the full colour large comics, so make the most of it.

Allergy sufferers beware — strong gusty winds will blow into the Tucson valley by late morning Wednesday before an autumn storm hits on Thursday, forecasters say.
The storm, which is coming from the north, is expected to bring gusts of up to 35 mph and possibly 50 mph by Wednesday afternoon and early evening, said Carl Cerniglia, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tucson.
Motorists are expected to face blowing dust from noon to 8 p.m. along Interstate 10 north of Tucson in the Casa Grande area.
Interstate 10 east of Bisbee where there are open fields is also expected to have low visibility, said Cerniglia.
Travelers are advised to pull off to the side of the road as far as possible and wait until the dust clears. He reminded motorists to turn off their vehicle lights.
The high Wednesday is expected to reach 87 degrees and the low 61 degrees.
There is a forecast for rain during the predawn hours Thursday through early afternoon, and temperatures will drop, said Cerniglia.
The high is expected to be 74 degrees and the low 59 degrees on Thursday.
Mount Lemmon may receive snow showers at 8,500 feet and above, Cerniglia said.
On Friday, the Tucson high is expected to reach 75 degrees and the low 49 degrees, said Cerniglia.

Chalk up another long-term commitment for New York Mets star David Wright. It was just a month ago that the third baseman officially signed an eight-year, $138 million contract extension with the club — essentially turning him into a Met for life. On Sunday, Wright announced he was engaged to his longtime girlfriend, model Molly Beers, turning this offseason into a pretty busy one for the Mets star. No wedding date has been set, yet. The good-looking couple was seen together at Wright's fundraiser in Virginia on Friday while he hosted Vegas Night to benefit Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters at the Virginia Beach Convention Center. Wright and Beers have been dating for years and their relationship first became public when Wright threw her a birthday bash over the All-Star break in 2008. Now that he has put an engagement ring on his beautiful fiance's finger, fans are hoping he can help put a championship ring on his own.

In earlier years, components for cars and motorcycles were almost always made from metal, because consumers valued the bright, lustrous finish that metal could offer. However, these parts were not always ideal, as metal components were expensive, and added extra weight to the vehicle. Plastics have advantages over metals in some applications, particularly the automotive industry, because they are light and flexible, and easily fabricated; however, plastic cannot achieve the desired high-quality, lustrous finish of metal. It was discovered that electroplating would not only provide the desired aesthetic qualities, but also a similar ease of cleaning, and resistance to corrosion, that the solid metal pieces possessed. Thus, the finished components had all the advantageous qualities of both plastic and chrome. Many people think that electroplating is only possible with metals, and other electrically-conductive materials, but this is not true; almost any material can be electroplated (the methods differ for some types of plastic). The problem with electroplating plastics and organic materials is that they are not electrically conductive, so they can't be immersed in a normal plating solution and plated in the same way that metal objects can be. Before production methods for plating plastic were developed (along with special plastic materials for this purpose - called ABS plastic) the only way to circumvent this problem was to first deposit a film, made of a conductive material, which would adhere well to both layers, and which was electrically conductive. In a "production" environment, the current procedure for plating ABS plastics is to first etch the surface of the substrate using, among other things, a chromic acid solution, which provides good adhesion to the subsequent conductive layer. The surface of the substrate is then coated with a thick layer of copper, to compensate for the difference in thermal expansion between the plastic substrate and the metal coating. The copper is covered with another thick layer of nickel, which prevents corrosion of the copper undercoat; two layers can be used on parts that are intended for use in severe environments. Once the plastic substrate has undergone this process, it can then be plated with chrome, using conventional electroplating methods. The automotive industry has been the largest consumer of electroplated plastics products, and since the mid-1970s, when the process of electrodepositing plastic was perfected, large areas of nickel and chromium plated plastic trim were appearing on vehicles. The trend was more noticeable in North America, were bright trim has always been more popular than in Europe. Plated plastic trim on automobiles reached its peak in North America in the mid-1980s and early 1990s, but the industry has grown about 50% since 1993 in Europe, and by almost 100% in the United Kingdom. Many car and motorcycle enthusiasts choose custom chrome shops (job shops) to chrome-plate their parts after purchasing a vehicle, as there are ultra-bright, "show-quality" chrome finishes available, which are not typically used on factory vehicles. Almost any part of a vehicle can be chrome-plated, including any plastic fixtures or accessories, to not only enhance the look and feel of these components, but make them resistant to corrosion and wear as well. In addition to vehicle parts, many household fittings such as flanges, towel rails, light fittings and more, are often made of ABS plastic and plated in chrome, satin chrome or gold. Metal finishers and companies that specialize in electroplating will typically be able to plate any object, and save the consumer time and money in the long run by improving the durability of their plastic (or metal) components.

Gold has always been inherently valuable to mankind, as it is one of few metals which never rusts or corrodes. The seemingly eternal nature of gold makes it extremely popular as a material for jewellery, as it is not only durable ... Gold has always been inherently valuable to mankind, as it is one of few metals which never rusts or corrodes. The seemingly eternal nature of gold makes it extremely popular as a material for jewellery, as it is not only durable but symbolizes a romance that will last indefinitely. In terms of functionality, it's also useful for electronics applications, because it is almost unsurpassed in terms of electrical conductivity. In either case, the high and constantly fluctuating price, as well as its softness, causes consumers to try and find alternatives to solid-gold pieces. The most common alternative to solid gold is gold plating. Many different metals are used in the electroplating process, one of the most common of which is gold. Gold plating is the process of depositing a thin layer of gold onto the surface of another material via the process of electroplating. There are several varieties of gold plating, and different processes are used depending on the intended purpose. Some plating, such as that used for electronics applications, is functional; other plating, such as plating on jewelry, is purely decorative. In jewelry-making it's typically applied to the surface of items that are made of a non-precious base metal, such as silver, nickel, copper or zinc. The unfortunate drawback to gold-plated silver is that silver atoms tend to migrate into the gold, over the months and years, causing it to change color and eventually tarnish. To prevent this, barrier layers of copper and nickel are often used between the silver and gold. Nickel protects the substrate and increases surface hardness, while also providing depth to the reflectivity gold. Decorative gold plating is a great way to achieve the beautiful look of real gold, without the price tag of solid gold. Another decorative gold application is gold-filled jewelry, also called rolled or rolled gold plate. Gold-filled jewelry is composed of a base metal, such as brass, coated with a layer of gold that is then bonded to the base metal with the application of heat and pressure. For functional gold electroplating (electronics or industrial uses), most metal substrates can be used. Silver, copper, brass, aluminum and alloys are all commonly-used substrates for functional gold plating. The gold used for functional applications needs to be as pure as possible, to ensure good conductivity, good reflectivity and high corrosion resistance. A nickel barrier layer is often applied to functional gold electroplating, similar to decorative gold plating, to prevent tarnishing of the gold. Its color is typically quite yellow, similar to 24-karat solid gold. Functional gold plating is used for radio and electronic components, sound systems, laser reflectors, circuit boards, and other applications in which high electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance are necessary. In this way, the properties of both the substrate and the gold are combined; for example, the hardness and conductivity of the substrate, with the corrosion and tarnish resistance of the gold.

Thu. September 30, 2010 | Eduardo A. Encina
Though the Tampa Catholic football team, a program that has advanced to the state final two of the past three seasons, is still looking for its first win into October, Crusaders coach Bob Henriquez believes the postseason is still a reasonable possibility.
As the Crusaders (0-4) host Deerfield Beach Zion Lutheran (2-2) on Friday, Tampa Catholic is reeling from a 27-10 loss to district favorite Lake Highland Prep, a game Henriquez believes his team should have won.
"I think it's critically important," Henriquez said. "We feel like we improved a great deal last week and that we should have won the football game. We're telling our kids it's really a six-week season. We're not talking about our past record or what happened in the beginning of the season. This is an opportunity to get a win and walk into the locker room after playing four quarters of football."
Last week, Tampa Catholic led 10-7 after three quarters and had a chance to go up by more driving deep into Lake Highland Prep territory, but fumbled. Lake Highland went on to score 20 unanswered points to win, and Tampa Catholic was left to think about missed opportunities.
Henriquez said TC has six red zone opportunities but came away with just 10 points – there was Corbett's fumble, a turnover on downs and two missed field goals.
But looking ahead after next week's bye, Henriquez said he sees three more district games against struggling opponents and two rivalry games -- Clearwater Central Catholic (Oct. 15) and Jesuit (Nov. 11) – that he knows his players will be motivated to win.
"We're young and inexperienced," Henriquez said. "If we don't turn ball over and cash in on some opportunities, we're sitting at 3-1 this season. When you're young and you haven't learned how to win yet, you're not going to know how to handle pressure situations."
But Henriquez believes the Crusaders have made strides. He's handed the quarterback reins to freshman QB Chivarsky Corbett, a lean 6-foot-3 athlete who reminds you a little of former TC All-American Christian Green. The better Corbett (who is doubtful for this week's game with a shoulder sprain) gets, the more it allows QB/WR Conner Louis to move back to wide receiver, where he is at his best.
The improvement of sophomore tailbacks Jordan Rich-Rogers and Trevor Register has allowed UF commit Hunter Joyer to move back to his true position at fullback. And on defense, linebacker Aaron Buckley and tackle Taylor Timmons are growing into their own. Key linebackers Zach Dyer and Carson Bomar should be back from lengthy injuries after the bye.
"When we start winning, I don't think we're going to stop for a long time," Henriquez said.
