1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a novel method to locally heat and isostatically press glass encapsulated materials at high pressures and at high localized temperatures. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method to compact a glass encapsulated powdered material at very high pressures having a localized heating element in the glass and localized temperature monitoring. In this way, the sample locally is heated, but the metal or ceramic pressure chambers are usually kept at low relative temperature of less than about 500° C.

The process of the present invention is an improved process for consolidating powders at high temperatures and pressures. All materials capable of being consolidated, or densified, can be employed, and several are known to those skilled in the art. For example, the material to be consolidated can be metal, nonmetal, or mixtures thereof; specific examples of powders include metal, ceramic, or polymer powders, or mixtures thereof, e.g., a cermet. The powder to be consolidated can be pure, substantially pure, or can include other materials such as stabilizers or constituent elements, such as carbon in the case of a refractory carbide. The process of the present invention is especially adapted for use with materials which lead to consolidated bodies that are brittle at the desired, predetermined density. For the purposes of the present invention, "brittle" refers to materials wherein the mathematical difference between the yield strength and the ultimate strength is less than 0.2 percent of the elongation for the material. Ceramic-containing powders are preferred. The ceramic-containing powder (sample) can be purely ceramic, i.e., an inorganic, nonmetallic material, or can be a material including ceramic and metallic or other materials.
When employed with a ceramic material, the metallic material typically is from zero to about 90 volume percent of the ceramic/metal mixture. Preferably, the metallic material is from about 0.5 to about 85 volume percent of the mixture. Most preferably, the material to be consolidated or densified is entirely ceramic.
Examples of preferred polymeric materials include polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene and mixtures of these with other polymers or each other.
The densification, or consolidation, process can be any known process whichemploys the application of mechanically induced pressure to a pressure-transmitting medium, such as glass, which is liquid at consolidation conditions to omnidirectionally consolidate materials. The use of mechanically induced pressure, versus gaseous pressure, is well known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,428,906 and 4,389,362. Preferably, the pressure is supplied by a forging press using a moving piston and die.
The pressure transmitting medium in which the preform is encased (encapsulated) is any material or combination of materials which is a liquid or a fluid at the encapsulation and compaction temperatures. Typical media include various glasses and/or salts. Glasses are preferred.Boron-containing or high silica glasses are more preferred. The teachings of U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,446,100; 3,469,976; and 3,455,682 regarding glasses, salts and other pressure-transmitting media in which preforms are imbeddedand which are flowable and the encapsulation and compaction conditions are incorporated herein by reference. KG-33, which is a borosilicate glass meeting the requirements for the Type I, Class A glass of the American Society of Testing and Materials E-438. The alkali contact is low and it is made without the elements of calcium, magnesium and zinc groups or the heavy metals, brand glass from Kimble Scientific Products, Vineland, N.J.,is most preferred.
The heating element may be of any shape to eventually obtain generally localized heating of the assembly and sample during compaction. The heating element must be completely contained in the fluid medium (at leasta thin layer) and the medium must have a minimum of unstable oxides (e.g., Na2 O, K2 O) which will attack and destroy the heating element at elevated temperatures.
Component Assembly --When the completed shell/media/article assembly is thethermal, chemical or physical condition at which it will be inserted into the press tooling, it is called an isostatic die assembly or, by acronym, an IDA (optionally, a hot IDA). Economically effective use of the process which is the subject of this invention, requires development of equipment which is suited to process a wide range of isostatic die assemblies, each of which is suited to the article(s) to be densified. The preferred IDA for the consolidation of a given article from a given particulate materialrequires consideration of shell and media requirements, article fixturing requirements, heating method requirements, part recovery requirements, other previously discussed requirements, and use of existing capital equipment. A typical isostatic die assembly in the condition to be encapsulated is illustrated in FIG. 1 (alone) and in FIG. 2 (in die 11).
Predensification Processing--Typically, the IDA is assembled at ambient temperature and is heated to the desired fusion temperature at an optimum rate to produce a hot IDA. Heating can be by conduction, convection, or radiant means, and all combinations thereof as is best for the individual IDA's. All forms of radiant heating are contemplated including infrared, induction, radio frequency, including microwave, and the like. The components of the IDA may be at varying temperatures, and assembled in a sequence best suited to the type of thermal, chemical and physical processing required.
In one embodiment, the assembly of FIG. 1 is placed in a separate vacuum furnace. Heat is applied an vacuum to remove water volatiles, etc. The temperature is raised and the glass is then fused and the prearticle is then placed (hot or cold) into die 11 of FIG. 2.
In another embodiment, the components of the IDA are assembled (FIG. 1) andplaced in a die 11 (FIG. 2) wherein the IDA is heated in die 11 and placed under vacuum. The volatiles are removed and then the preglass is fused so that glass 22A, 22B and 22C become an integral encapsulating covering.
Control of the chemical environment around the sample during all processingsteps is essential. IDA's can be assembled and processed under vacuum or under various gaseous atmospheres, e.g., nitrogen, oxygen and the like. The pressure-transmitting medium can contain "getters," carbon, or other compounds to control the chemical environment around the article as taughtin U.S. Pat. No. 3,992,200, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference. A preferred embodiment involves the use of glass cylinders and plugs or ground glass as the medium. As the IDA is heated, the glass melts and hermetically seals the articles, heating filament and thermo-couple in the melt, protecting them from the surrounding atmosphereduring subsequent processing.
This aspect of the encapsulation is a distinguishing feature of the presentinvention. The sample, the heating means (filament) and optionally the at least one thermocouple are encapsulated in the fluid (glass). In this way,at the higher temperatures generated by the filament, it does not fail because it is not attacked by atmosphere or the unstable oxides of sodium or potassium. Lithium oxide or calcium oxide, to the exclusion of sodium oxide or potassium oxide, are stable oxides which are used to modify and stabilize the properties of the glass at high temperatures. The fluid (glass) media composition is chosen such that the content of unstable oxides is at a low level such that the filament does not undergo undue attack. Al2 O3, MgO, Li2 O, and/or CaO are preferred to Na2 O and/or K2 O. For example, the upper limit total for K2 O and/or Na2 O in the glass is up to about 5% by weight.
For a tungsten heating filament, in contact with a glass containing Na2 O or K2 O, of about 3% by weight (total), a temperature of about 2000° C. or higher for between about 5 to 10 minutes is sufficient for degradation of the tungsten filament.
The IDA may need physical processing prior to densification. Holes may be plugged, insulators added, sensors removed, etc., before the IDA is ready for the densification step.
Densification--Densification of the article(s) contained in the hot isostatic die assembly is effected by compressing the assembly with a ram in a closed cavity. FIG. 2 illustrates an IDA in a forging press. Typically, hydraulic forging press is equipped with die type tooling, as is shown in FIG. 2, is used for densification. As the ram piston 12A compresses the IDA in the cavity, the integral fluid media 22A, 22B and 22C exerts a large hydrostatic (isostatic) pressure on the articles to densify them. The piston/die interfaces are a close fit, generally of the order of less than about 0.010, preferably less than about 0.008 of an inch. The shell material of the IDA crushes. Pressures as great as 500,000psi (3.45×103 MPa) can be generated by the ram and must be applied and released at controlled rates. Die piston interface lubricants such as graphite, boron nitride, or metal based anti-seize compounds can be employed to prevent tooling damage. Molybdenum disulfide is often used as a high temperature lubricant between the piston and die. After densification, the IDA is ejected from the pot die for subsequent processing.
IDA Disassembly--Disassembly of the isostatic die assembly (IDA) without damaging the enclosed, densified articles is a crucial step in any encapsulated type densification process of economic interest.
The present invention involves separation of the three components of the isostatic die assembly by removing the medium away from the articles and shell. In one embodiment, a hot IDA is ejected from the press after densification and is inverted over a pan and screen in furnace so that themedium drains into the pan through the screen, i.e, the dense articles, thermocouple and filament are retained on the screen. This is a simple andeconomically advantageous means of recovering the dense articles for subsequent processing. This method also recovers the medium for reuse at atemperature which is economically advantageous. Draining can be aided, e.g., by pressure or centrifugal force. The shell of the IDA can be punctured or otherwise breached so that it can drain without inversion if necessary. The separated article can be moved to another area to subsequently cool at a rate so that it is not affected by thermal shock. The separated shell can be discarded or reprocessed for reuse. Glasses that are soluble in either acid or alkaline solution can also be used for ease of removal, i.e., the fused glass covering is dissolved away.
With proper construction, the heating filament and the temperature monitoring device will survive the pressure and temperature of compaction.Therefore, the temperature and rate of cooling can then be controlled usingthe intact heating filament and monitored using the thermocouple. Cooling rates of between about 5° C. to 200° C. per minute can be achieved. The IDA may also quickly be transferred to a separate furnace tobe slowly cooled to obtain particular properties.
The compaction (or densification or consolidation) process can be performedby any known process which employs the application of mechanically induced pressure to pressure-transmitting medium, such as glass which is liquid atconsolidation conditions to omnidirectionally consolidate materials. The use of mechanically induced pressure, versus gaseous pressure, is well known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,428,906 and 4,389,362. Preferably, the pressure on the system is supplied by a forgingpress.
Explosive compaction of solids, which is conventional in the art, is also amethod to obtain the necessary high pressure and localized high temperaturefor a short time period in the present process.
Final Processing--The final processing of a densified assembly is generallyknown in the art. After removal of the encapsulating medium, the heating element and the temperature monitor means, the densified article is usually coated with a thin film of the medium. The film is usually removedafter cooling. Usually the film is removed by: (1) sandblasting; (2) thermal shock during cooling; or (3) chemical agent attack. The densified article can then be physically machined, etc. for its ultimate use.
The present invention is an improved process for isostatic pressing of metal and ceramic (refractory and superconducting) powders using in situ localized heating and vacuum encapsulation. The method is amenable to bothlarge scale low cost manufacturing and precise small scale research applications.
Referring specifically now to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, assembly 10 shows a tungsten filament 19 of specific geometry is placed around the sample to be pressed 18 inside glass preforms 22A, 22B and 22C that surround both filament 19 and sample 18. In addition, an appropriate thermocouple 17 is also enclosed with a junction in close proximity to sample 18. This collection (assembly) of parts, is placed within a cylindrical crucible shell 16 (e.g., zirconia or alumina fibers with low density), low compressive strength and low thermal conductivity. The at least one thermocouple 17, leads 20 and filament leads 19A and 19B are passed through holes 16A, 16B, 16C and 16D in the bottom of the crucible 16.
The entire assembly 10 is heated under vacuum to outgas sample 18 and to fuse the encapsulating glass 22A, 22B and 22C. In some cases a base 14 of insulating ceramic (e.g., pyrophyllite) is included as part of encapsulation and fuses to the outer bottom surface of the shell 16. This encapsulation permits control of absorbed impurities in the sample 18. After removal from the vacuum system, the assembly (hot or cold) is placedin a cylindrical chamber (a pyrophyllite base 14 may be added at this point) through which electrical connection leads for the filament 19 and thermocouple 17 are provided. A tungsten carbide/cobalt piston 12A and pyrophyllite disc 13 are inserted into the top of the chamber. All parts are a close fit in the bore of the die chamber 11. The filament 19 and thethermocouple 17 are connected to a controller which provides a suitable time/temperature profile. Once at temperature, the assembly is subjected to the desired load through application of force on the tungsten carbide/cobalt pistons, 12A and 12B.
A distinguishing feature of this invention is the use of a tungsten filament 19 and optionally the at least one thermocouple 17 encapsulated in the encapsulating glass and to provide localized heating and monitoringof the heating of the powder sample to be pressed.
The advantages of this approach include:
1. This invention allows precise local temperature control of the sample upto the moment of the application of force and thereafter during cooling.
2. Pressing at higher temperatures is possible since heating is done in situ with the surrounding glass and crucible shell providing excellent insulation.
3. Pressing at higher pressures is enabled since an essentially incompressible fluid (glass) is used to provide isostatic pressure, and the localized heating allows the pressure chamber to remain relatively cool and thus retain its strength.
Temperature/pressure combinations of 1300° C. and 240,000 psi and 100,000 psi at 1750° C. and higher achieved, and 2000° C./275,000 psi are also achieved with the present invention while die chamber 11 at 11A and 11B remains at about 500° C. or less.
Referring more specifically to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3:
Water cooled (electrically heated) die 11 for heating cooling and pressing.The design of such dies 11 is conventional and well covered in the literature. The demands placed on the die are not extreme due to the design of the encapsulation assembly. Since the encapsulation assembly is usually placed in the die at room temperature and is fully supported, there is no requirement for strength imposed on the assembly. Thus, the assembly is designed to provide maximum insulation between the filament 19heat source and the die wall 11A. The die wall 11A (or 11B) is able to maintain a relatively low temperature at which common tool steels have sufficient strength, e.g. at or less than about 500° C.
Sliding piston. The basic requirement for the piston 12A (12B) is compressive strength. Since the piston 12A is well insulated, tool steel or various grades of tungsten carbide are used depending upon the operating pressure.
In piston 12B, the filament leads 19A and 19B and thermocouple leads 20 arepassed to the external instrumentation. The instrumentation supplies electrical energy and monitors the temperature of the sample 18 prior to and during compaction, and thereafter unless the thermocouple 17 fails. FIG. 2 shows all of these leads are electrically insulated from piston 12B.
In a preferred embodiment the at least one temperature measuring device is encapsulated within the preglass material, especially within less than about 1 inch of the sample. This is true where the chamber of die 11 is about 1 inch in diameter. For larger chambers (2 to 6 inches in diameter or larger) the thermocouples may be placed at various locations to provideinformation about the temperature of the sample before, during and after pressing. For instance, leads for a second thermocouple might be passed through piston 12A similarly to the configuration shown in 12B.
Pyrophyllite disk 13. The disk 13 is a reasonably dense ceramic material with low thermal conductivity and good high temperature stability. The purpose of the disk is to keep the sliding piston 12A cool.
Pyrophyllite disk 14. This disk 14 is the same as disk 13 but with the added requirement of being a reasonably good electrical insulator at high temperatures. The filament leads 19A and 19B and thermocouple leads 20 pass through holes in the disk.
Powder insulator 15. Insulator 15 is a layer of lightly compacted powder, such as silica, magnesia or zirconia, that provides good high temperature insulation capability and is also easily deformed.
Encapsulation shell 16. This cylindrical shell 16 with one open end that serves as the container during the encapsulation phase and as deformable insulation during the pressing phase. It is composed of a low density refractory ceramic, e.g. Al2 O3 with low compressive strength and good resistance to attack by the encapsulation glass. The two filamentcontacts and two thermocouple contacts pass through holes 16A, 16B, 16C and16D respectively in the bottom of shell 16.
Sample 18. Sample 18 to be pressed is located in the center of assembly 10.Sample and filament shape are altered as required for any particular particle.
The filament. Filament 19 is usually composed of a refractory metal or alloy (e.g. tungsten, Nichrome) compatible with the fluid (glass) being used. The filament 19 is envisioned as a closed serpentine loop that surrounds the shape of a cylinder. The closed loop is thus composed of a series of adjacent open loops as shown. Contacts are made to the loop 180 degrees apart at the bottom of the cylinder. The contact wires 19A and 19Bare of greater diameter than the filament in order to reduce their heating and to allow for mass loss due to oxidation since they are exposed to air.The contact wire 19A and 19B and filament 19 combination are a function of the system requirements. The opposed contacts 19A and 19B arrangement is of particular importance at high temperatures due to the significant loss of resistance in the glass.
Encapsulation glass 22. Glass (fluid) 22A, 22B, 22C is a key aspect of the invention. It serves as a pressure transmitting medium and as a barrier tocontamination of the sample. It is a current widespread practice to use glass as a pressure transmitting medium, but the role of the glass with respect to glass/sample interaction and environment/glass interaction has been largely ignored. With respect to the present invention, the most important contribution of the glass is the protection of the filament. Allrefractory metals are subject to catastrophic oxidation in air at temperatures well below their melting points. By encapsulating the refractory metal filament (Ta, W, Mo, Nb, Re, etc.) in glass composed of stable oxides, the filament can be heated at temperatures close to the melting point of the metal. Since the filament is surrounded by a low viscosity fluid at high temperatures, mechanical stresses are minimized. The glass composition is tailored so that at high temperature, the glass resistance is low enough so that the glass encapsulation medium functions as an additional heating element. Glass 22B is shown as a hollow cylinder of glass. The filament 19 is placed within cylinder 22B. Usually when cylinder 22B melts, it covers the filament 19 and provides the desired protection of the filament 19 at higher temperatures. A second smaller cylinder 22B' may be placed within both cylinder 22B and within filament 19 to insure that during fusion filament 19 is encapsulated and protected from the atmosphere and from the sample 18. Glass 22A and 22C are placed in the assembly at ambient temperature as glass plugs and become fluid at elevated temperatures. After fusion and encapsulation 22A, 22B (22B') and 22C, are an integral fluid (glass) medium 22 surrounding sample 18 in which the heating element 19 and thermocouple 17 are also encapsulated.
It is also possible that 22B and 22B' have different glass compositions. For instance, high viscosity and non-penetrating glass is adjacent to the sample 18, while glass two has good fluid properties for the heating filament or for easy removal. The sample 18 also might be encapsulated by one thin layer of glass and then the heating element is encapsulated in the second type of glass.
Thermocouple 17. A temperature measuring (monitoring) device is shown as a thermocouple 17. It is understood that multiple temperature measuring devices can be used. Some may be outside the fused glass, but still in close proximity (less than 2 inches) to sample 18. Thermocouple 17 is selected on the basis of glass compatibility and operating temperature. The thermocouple placement allows accurate measurement of the process temperature and is part of the control process loop.
Superconductors--The present invention is useful to prepare dense (electrically) superconducting oxides as described by R. Dagnai in "Superconductivity: A Revolution in Electricity in Taking Shape," Chemicaland Engineering News, May 11, 1987, pp. 7-16. Also see U.S. Pat. Nos.: M. Dietrich, et al., 4,581,289; W. G. Maranik, et al., 4,073,666; J. H. P. Watson, 3,748,728; and A. W. Sleight, 3,932,315. The YBaCuO oxides are preferred, especially YBa2 Cu3 Ox where x is between 6.5 and 7. In some instances, portions or all of the Ba can be replaced with Sr. Also, some oxygen can be replaced with fluorine.
During the encapsulation step for the super-conducting-oxides, at up to 850° C., a partial pressure of oxygen is maintained in the sample so that the oxides do not change composition by loss of oxygen in the lattice structure. The oxide is then densified in the usual manner.
As is known in the art, proper cooling (or annealing) of the densified superconducting oxide is very important and usually occurs in an oxygen orair environment so that oxygen is not lost from the lattice structure.
The following Examples are presented to be illustrative and explanatory only. They are not to be construed to be limiting in any way.
The chemicals and materials used in the present invention are either commercially available from chemical suppliers, or are produced from literature sources. Chemical suppliers are tabulated in Chemical Sources, U.S.A., which is published annually by Directories Publications, Inc., Boca Ratan, Fla. Chemical and material suppliers include, for example: Fisher Scientific, Inc., of 2170 Martin Avenue, Santa Clara, Calif. 95050;Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wis.; Baker Chemical Co., Flemington, N.J.; and others cited herein.
(a) Zirconium oxide: An assembly to be encapsulated comprising an alumina shell, borosilicate glass preform, tungsten filament having molybdenum or tantalum leads, a commercial Pt/Pt13Rh thermocouple (Type R) from Omega Industries of Stamford, Connecticut, and the ZrO2 sample are fixturedand placed in a vacuum furnace.
After pumping to a pressure of 50 microns, the assembly is heated to a temperature of 450° C. at a rate of 5 degrees per minute. After a dwell of 1 hour at 450° C., the assembly is heated to 850° C. at a rate of 5 degrees per minute and held for 30 minutes. An external pressure of about 1 psi is applied to the top of the assembly to assist glass flow during this phase. The external furnace is then turned off and the assembly allowed to cool to room temperature over a period of about 4 hours.
The compaction of the sample is carried out by placing the encapsulated sample in the pressure chamber (FIG. 2) and connecting the thermocouple and filament leads to a power supply. The assembly is heated at a rate of 10° C./minute to a temperature of 450° C. and then at a rateof 20° C./minute to the final compaction temperature of 1300 degrees, and is held for 15 minutes. After fifteen minutes, a pressure of 230,000 psi is applied for a period of ten seconds. The sample is then ejected from the chamber and placed in a furnace at about 800° C. for controlled cooling, typically at between about 5 to 10 degrees per minute.
(b) Zinc Sulfide: The encapsulation using borosilicate glass and compactionof zinc sulfide (ZnS) is identical to that for zirconium oxide, of subpart (a) above, except that the encapsulation and compaction temperatures are 800° C. and 900° C. respectively. Due to the lower process temperatures, a NICHROME heating element with nickel leads and a type K thermocouple are substituted for those of subpart (a).
(c) Silicon Nitride: For silicon nitride, a zirconia shell, a W5Re/W26Re thermocouple and tungsten heating element with molybdenum leads is used. The Si2N4 sample is encapsulated in the same fashion as the zirconiumoxide, in subpart (a) above.
For compaction, the sample is heated at a rate of 10° C./minute to 450° C. then at a rate of 25° C./ minute to 1750° C. and a pressure of 100,000 psi is immediately applied for a period of ten seconds. After ejection, the sample is cooled in the same fashion as for zirconium oxide. For encapsulation, high silica glass (VYCOR) or Quartz glass is also substituted for borosilicate glass of Kimble Glass. The densified article is slowly cooled over 20 hr from 850° to 400° C.
(d) Silicon Carbide: Subpart (a) is repeated except that the zirconium oxide is replaced with an equivalent amount of weight of silicon carbide. Compacted silicon carbide is obtained.
Other materials include: boron carbide, aluminum oxide, boron nitride, zincselenide, etc.
(a) Example 1 is repeated except that zirconium oxide is replaced with YBa2 Cu3 O7. After pumping down the oxides at ambient temperature to a pressure of 50 microns, oxygen is added to obtain a partial pressure of oxygen of 1,000 microns. The assembly is heated slowly(5° c/min.) to 800° C. except that the partial pressure of oxygen is maintained up to and during the encapsulation. The densified product is obtained by heating at 850° C. and pressing at 250,000 psi for about 10 seconds. The densified article is slowly cooled over 20 hr in an oxygen environment from 850° to 400° C. This annealing is to insure that oxygen atoms are not lost from the crystal structure.
The densified material has superconducting properties for electricity at temperatures between about 5° and 273° Kelvin (K), preferably between about 77° and 273° K.
While only a few embodiments of the invention have been shown and describedherein, it will become apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made in the present invention to densify encapsulated material at high pressure using localized heating at the sample site using a heating element imbedded within the encapsulated material without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. All such modification and changes coming within the scope of the appended claims are intended to be carried out thereby.

Hi George,
1906 and 1908 Navies were issued with a stock, Type 1 holster and pouch, and came in both black and brown leather, although most of the brown ones were dyed black pursuant to an order dated 1916. 1916/17 Navies were mostly (but not always) issued without a stock and with Type 2 leather. They too came in both black and brown but most of the ones I've seen have been brown, admittedly a small statistical sample.
Anyway, since you are getting a stock I think you should choose Type 1, either black or brown.
Enclosed are photos of a Type 1, a Type 1 converted to Type 2, and a Type 2.
Regards, Norm

David St. Geme's Mr. Marina Fundraising Page
Slap Cancer
On January 18th @ 10am, you can purchase tickets to Mr. Marina 2013 in support of David St. Geme HERE.
Oh, hello there. I failed to notice you sitting there staring at me. I'm David. I'm a pretty normal guy, I guess. I graduated from Stanford in 2010 with a degree in Economics, so I guess you could say I know my way around a 1 dollar bill. In my spare time I love to be outdoors and go to the beach. Sometimes I just like to go to exotic islands and soak in the vitamin D. Also, dolphins love me. I also like to make my mark on the athletic field. I mean, I played intramural floor hockey in college, but it's not that big of a deal.
I'm not all about soaking in the sun and juking and jiving on the ol' pitch, though. I like to work up a mental sweat, too. I love to read, especially fiction. Ever read Hunger Games? I have. Well done, Miss Everdeen, well done.
When I'm not doing any of the above, I like to spend time tutoring high school students. Math is my favorite subject. SOHCAHTOA is one of my best friends.
Most importantly, I am incredibly excited to be helping support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. All of your donations are going to an incredibly great cause with which you can be proud to associate yourself! So that's me, thanks for reading and thanks for donating!
Slap Cancer was initially a campaign started by Brianna Haag in 2012 and now consists of a group of young professionals in San Francisco who fundraise on behalf of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. All ticket sales and dollars raised through The Mr. Marina Competition goes directly to the Greater Bay Area Chapter of LLS. For more info on how your donations are funding life saving cancer research, visit http://lls.org/sf
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

42, Salem, ORI enjoyed being a member of Catholicmatch.com about 2 years ago and would like to jump back into the dating pool. :-) My family is primarily located in Oregon, however, I am open to friendships and prospective dates elsewhere. I am blessed with loving parents and siblings and am looking forward to finding someone to share all the twists and turns of this adventure we call life. I love camping and star gazing as well as mowing and yardwork (instant gratification and a beautiful yard to boot). I have recently rescued a miniature rabbit earmarked as snake food from a feed store. She is 6 months old and learning not to chew on cords or leave her pellets scattered about. :-) I would have difficulty describing myself if I neglected to mention that music is a huge part of my faith life. I sang and played the piano during Mass every week for over 15 years. I have dabbled in composition and even ventured into a recording studio or two. Music has a way of touching my heart and bringing it to a deeply authentic place. I am often brought to tears when listening to certain songs by such artists as Nicole Nordeman, Casting Crowns, Lifehouse, Mercy Me and many, many others. While I have moments of extroversion, I am contemplative by nature and share deep friendships with a chosen few. I see God in every aspect of my life, the pleasant moments and the painful times. While He never changes, my understanding grows more deeply with every passing year. Since joining I feel blessed to have encountered so many faithful and faith-filled Catholics. Statistically speaking 1/4 of the population identifies themselves as Catholic. I must confess how refreshing it is to see so many of us making our faith a central part of our lives. I couldn't imagine living or embarking in the awesome gift of raising children without a partner who shares the same vision and faith-walk. It is just too important!
64, Gladstone, ORI believe in living and enjoying life to the fullest extent possible and preferably sharing it with that special lady. I hope to meet someone to share and grow together in life and our Catholic Faith. I have a quiet, calm, patient, and confident personality. I like to smile, laugh, have fun, and I have a good sense of humor. I believe honest, open, truthful, and complete communication is essential to building a good relationship. I enjoy doing a variety of things at any given time: running, working outdoors, just being outdoors, camping, site-seeing, traveling, movies, quiet time, etc. I have been a professional in the financial industry my entire career. I have three great young adults as my "children" all of whom I'm very proud of, love very much, are very important to me, and enjoy being a part of each others lives (all college grads and doing well for themselves living good lives). Other family is also very important and has a strong value with me as I expect it will be with the person I hope to meet. Friendships are important to have/make too. I am looking to connect with someone of similar values and likes and yet know and understand that some differences will exist. I am looking forward to sharing the joy of life and love with a special and wonderful lady.
27, Corvallis, ORDescribing myself is always difficult through text. Im much better at face to face interaction. That said, good qualities I would describe myself as having are: fun, easy going, goofy, quirky/awkward, adventurous, spontaneous, thoughtful, passionate, intellectual, not easily offended, and loving. Bad qualities I would describe myself as having are: somewhat arrogant, proud, blunt, and hesitant to ask for help.<--- hopefully this helps with your decision to talk to me or not. ;) Raised to be a man and behave like a gentleman. I grew up on a farm, love the outdoors and im country-ish. I'm into many different genres of music and can sing to almost anything (not a good singer but wheres the fun in being good at it right?). I enjoy playing sports more than watching sports. I love most types of movies and quoting them is part of the fun (obviously not during the movie) I was born and raised catholic but fell away for a number of years. Just so happens that 2016 the year of mercy is when I found my way back to my faith. I still have my struggles just like everyone but at least now I have a stronger relationship with God to help me out. Hoping to meet a wonderful Catholic woman to become friends with first, and then, God-willing, eventually marry and raise a family together.
38, Springfield, ORI'm not a Catholic yet, but I'm basically convinced to convert. I've decided to take the RCIA courses and let those be my final moments of procrastination. I produce and edit a TV show for a living and I'm very passionate about film. I also love reading, mostly non fiction, I have a book addiction. I'm obsessively interested in religion, nutrition, and a laundry list of other things.
50, Grants Pass, ORHello, I am someone who enjoys living life to the fullest. I love to travel, spend time out doors, as well as go to the movies, theater, etc. My perfect day is a day at the beach (a warm beach). I consider myself lucky to have good friends and a loving family. I look forward to spending time with them whenever I am able. I am passionate about working for the needs of the common good. I seek out ways to help the poor both locally and internationally. I was privileged to live in Brazil and work as a missioner for 3.5 years. I have only been back in the U.S. a short while. I am working on getting my life settled here and would like a partner to share it with.
39, Portland, ORFaith, family, close friends, my career, making our society better, music, epic stories, beagles, running and staying in shape, the beauty of the outdoors, relationship-building, food, scotch, travel, history and college football. And lots of other stuff.
33, Hillsboro, ORI'm just looking to get to know someone and see where it takes me. I've never been good at describing myself nor what I'm looking for! I'm looking for a genuine honest person! If you are honest and we have common interests and faith, everything else falls into place!
30, Portland, ORI'm sure we all know by now that writing about ourselves is complicated. So, I start writing about how I love philosophy and talking about deep truths (sometimes over beer), but then I'm immediately thinking about whether I should mention that I am extremely fond of cheesy 80's action-flicks and in my past I've been suckered into video games, though I don't own any consoles now. I love to laugh and I'm fairly sarcastic, though never to the point of causing anyone pain. I like fly fishing and camping, but reading on the couch in a blanket is equally fun for me. I'm a counselor at a non-profit Christian ministry (ecumenical in nature) and care so much for the children and teens that I am blessed to be able to help. I treasure people and take kindness as my mission on earth.
31, Salem, ORThings that I like to do in my spare time: Play Dungeons and Dragons (or other roleplaying games), play Skyrim, read books (currently re-reading the Sword of Truth series), go to fun events in Portland, watch Netflix, go camping, ride my motorcycle, etc. I'm a little bit tomboy, little bit pinup, little bit goth kid, and a lot of soldier. I would have to say that having spent 14 years in the National Guard, that would probably be my passion. I love to do my job well. I have done four deployments overseas; three to Afghanistan and one to Iraq. I would go again if the opportunity arose, unless I had something truly worth staying home for. ISTJ Love Languages: 1. Words of affirmation 2. Acts of Service 3. Physical Touch 4. Quality Time 5. Gifts *2-4 were all the same score
40, Portland, ORTo be perfectly honest, I'm not sure how to describe myself online. Perhaps a good place to start is to say that I feel life is an enormous blessing and adventure both inside and out. I try each day to live that philosophy and perhaps consequently, do a fair amount of living outside conventional boxes. :) In no particular order, here is a little glimpse into what makes me me. My family and faith are a huge part of my life. I grew up in Europe, I love music (jazz, classical, you name it), photography, psychology, theology and, in my spare time I teach dance. I also race cars, love getting engine grease on my hands, work in an engineering related industry, and dream of getting a dirt bike. I am often found joking around and having fun and pretty much anything outside makes me happy...gardening, biking, hiking, kite surfing, skiing, backpacking or swimming in mountain lakes. I feel friendship is the first step in building a strong relationship and I am seeking to connect with those that feel the same!
30, Beaverton, ORI am an adventure seeking, food & craft-beer loving, a sometimes fly by the seat of your pants kind of guy. I also enjoy live music & playing/watching sports. I've got a dry sense of humor and love to laugh. I just relocated to the Portland area about a year ago, (but did go to school in the PNW). I am excited to be back there is so much to do, eat, and see.
47, Medford, ORGOD, FAMILY, And being outdoors. Have been in relationships most of my life that I've not been Faith based and not feeling complete. I want my next to be completely Faith based. I have three kids. A daughter 21, and two sons 8 and 10. I enjoy being outdoors. I like to hike, fish, Camp, Play sports, pretty much anything outdoors.

Barry Irvin, chairman of Bega Cheese (BGA), is not waving the white flag but says he isn't going to overpay to acquire Warrnambool Cheese & Butter Factory (WCB).
Bega is offering 1.5 of its shares plus $2 cash for Warrnambool for 83% of the Victorian dairy producer it doesn't currently own.
But the Bega bid, at the close of trading yesterday, was hardly cheered by investors.

Deerhoof are an alchemy of '77 punk, pop, glam, hair metal, doo-wop, hip hop, and R&B, late-night car rides, long days, spandex, shadows, and attitude
Poetry into noise, volume knobs into pleasure, friendship into rock band. Twenty years deep into their career it's safe to describe them as legends of the American underground, releasing 14 albums and treating the world to their never-the-same-twice thrill-ride of a live show.
Recent album The Magic is out now on Upset The Rhythm, it is a mixtape imbued with Deerhoof's sorcery; boldness, wonder, technical know-how, risk. It is a mixtape by the kid with the biggest music collection you've ever seen, who will take you camping and show you how to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

A Tábua De Esmeralda is a 1974 release by Brazilian artist Jorge Ben. It was ranked by Rolling Stone Brazil as the sixth greatest Brazilian album of all time. "A Tabua de Esmeralda"--Portuguese for the Emerald Tablet--references a key text in alchemy, whose varied goals included turning base metals into gold and discovering elixirs of immortality and eternal youth. Eternal human concerns, to be sure--figuring out how to make common things valuable, and how to enjoy them for as long as possible. And Jorge Ben Jor's lyrics (according to Google translate, anyway) reference alchemists and their craft, and theories about earth being populated by ancient alien astronauts, but also touch on the more mundane but equally marvelous areas of magic and mystery--the lure of love and obsession, two forces which musicians never tire of describing in all their strange familiarity. Track listing All tracks written by Jorge Ben, except where noted 01 Os alquimistas estão chegando – 3:15 02 O homem da gravata florida – 3:05 03 Errare humanum est – 4:50 04 Menina mulher da pele preta – 2:57 05 Eu vou torcer – 3:15 06 Magnólia – 3:14 07 Minha teimosia, uma arma pra te conquistar – 2:41 08 Zumbi – 3:31 09 Brother – 2:54 10 O namorado da viúva – 2:03 11 Hermes Trismegisto e sua celeste tábua de esmeralda (Jorge Ben, Fulcanelli, traditional) – 5:30 12 Cinco minutos – 2:57

Trying to master Solidworks, I set out to learn as much as I could all while creating futuristic concepts. This was a project of exploring and not caring about how something is made and works, and only trying to make something visually stunning.

Dear readers,
December is here and the festive season is now well and truly upon us. Christmas gives, at least most of us, the opportunity to take time out from our hectic lives and take a well deserved break. One thing Christmas and the impending New Year also offer is a chance to reflect on the year gone by on both a personal as well as a professional level. And this is exactly what we offer you, our readers, this festive season... Welcome to the OBTAINER WORLDWIDE chronicle issue.

Tips & Perks
Know the route
Know the bus route ahead of time. Call the MVTA at (952)882-7500 or regional transit information at (612)373-3333 to answer all your transit questions before riding the bus for the first time, or go to Routes.
Carry a current schedule
At certain times of the year, MVTA routes and schedules may change. Schedules are typically revised in December, June and September but may be revised at other times as well. Check the effective date printed on the front cover of the bus schedule in the upper right hand corner below the route number. Call (952)882-7500 to verify effective dates (use option #5 after hours). Download pdfs of pocket schedules on individual route pages.
Please have exact fare ready. Fareboxes accept dollar bills and all coins except pennies for payment but drivers do not make change. On most routes, fares are paid when entering. On afternoon routes from downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul, fares are paid when exiting. Fare information.
Ask your driver
Drivers are often the most valuable source of information. If there are questions or concerns once on board the bus, talk to the driver. They can answer schedule questions, fare questions, control the interior bus temperature or make referrals to other sources of information.
Designated Bus Stops
In downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, MVTA buses stop at designated stops only. Route 444, 445, 464 and 480B now have designated stops. All MVTA routes will be transitioned to a Bus Stop system in the next few years. See a bus schedule or call for more information.
Flag stops
In the suburbs, many of MVTAs buses will stop at any safe corner along the route. Simply wave to the driver as the bus approaches, making yourself as visible as possible. Bus beams (pocketsize flashlights) are available for passengers who wait for the bus in the dark. Other routes are considered Designated Stop routes (444, 445, 464, 480B) and a list of locations where these buses stop is included in the appropriate pocket schedule.
Arrive early & dress for the weather
Arrive at your stop at least five to ten minutes early. Buses operate on a minute-by-minute schedule and cannot wait for late passengers. Since you may need to wait in an exposed location, it is imperative to dress for the weather and be prepared for weather changes. The weather when first boarding the bus may be quite different on the ride home.
Guaranteed Ride Home
The Guaranteed Ride Home program is free and easy to use. Sponsored by the region, riders must pre-register for the program, and in turn can ride an alternate route home or be reimbursed for cab fare. Registered participants can request reimbursements up to four times per year or $100 in value, whichever comes first. Check out Guaranteed Ride Home for more information and a registration form.
Connecting service
Much of MVTA's local service is timed to meet regional buses at the Mall of America Transit Station. MVTA's express services connect with many regional buses at Lake Street & I-35W, in downtown Minneapolis, and in downtown St. Paul. If an MVTA bus does not travel direct to your destination, chances are you can still get there by transferring to another bus. More information on transfers, or more information on routes.
Detours and Snow Reroutes
Road construction may cause route changes. Buses may operate on a snow reroute schedule during winter storms. Snow reroute brochures are distributed on board buses. More information.
Lost and found
Its always a good idea to take one last look before leaving your seat. Effective July 1, 2016, for a lost or found item contact the lost and found by calling MVTA at 952-882-7500 as soon as possible. Please note item lost, describe item location on-board the bus, bus route and number (if possible), and time and day of travel.
Questions, comments or concerns
MVTA drivers work hard to provide safe, on-time, courteous service. If you have any comments, questions or concerns e-mail or call the MVTA.

Writing Strategy Session
Includes 1 x 30 minute session
Collaborating on copywriting is a fabulous way to get shit done — so let's meet and discuss how I can help you complete your next big writing project. We'll spend half an hour talking together in a videocall (I do love the 21st century!) about what you're working on. I'll share ideas and language you can use right away, and give you permission to say things the way you really want to!
This is a great way to hang out and see if we're a good fit — plus it's just good clean fun. (Except for the language, which will probably be filthy!)

Can it ever be a wise choice to turn the other cheek? What does it really mean to "turn the other cheek?"
In Matthew chapter five, verses 38 through 40, Jesus says this: "You have heard that it was said, "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well."
This is one of the most disturbing, frustrating passages in Scripture, because we instinctively know when someone mistreats us and we have a natural inclination to want to do something about it. We want to stop the wrong and heal the pain of the injury.
Here, Jesus seems to suggest another path.
I don't know if He is giving a formula for every conflict. After all, this is the man who threw the moneychangers out of the temple (John 2:13-16) and called some religious leaders of His day a "brood of vipers." (Matthew 12:34) He is the man who said "wisdom is proved right by her actions." (Matthew 11:19)
So, what does the action of "turning the other cheek" prove?
It says to the "striker": you will not determine the course of my day, my life, or the use of my time. I will not engage you in endless conflict because you wish it. I will not raise my hand in anger because you raise you hand in anger. I will not scream and shout because you scream and shout. I will not tell lies because you tell lies. I will not cause pain because you cause pain.
I think this course of action requires great strength on the part of the "strikee", the one being struck. Whether the striking is literal or physical, Jesus is telling us not to allow our lives to be dominated by revenge, getting even, or settling the score. He's talking to His followers, to those who have entrusted their actions and welfare to His care, protection, and judgment.
In a later New Testament passage (Romans 12:19 through 20), Paul writes what seems like an extension of Jesus' comments. "Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the LORD. On the contrary, If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."
Obviously, any thoughtful person will take reasonable precautions to keep him or herself safe. That is not what this is about. This is the question: is your life dominated by responses to people who constantly seek and create conflict with you? Are you compelled to always respond with anger to those who show you anger? Do you live by the motto that says: "If you do something to me, I'm going to do something to you?" Will you stop doing good work to chase the person who spat upon you? Will you chase them for a yard, a mile, or one hundred miles? Will someone full of anger chart the course of your life? Do you choose to give yourself away in this manner? If this is your choice, who will benefit from this choice?
