The present application is an improvement on the punch and die assemblies for compacting powder material disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,328,840, 3,414,940, 3,561,056, 3,574,892, 3,621,534, 3,640,654, 3669,582, 3,671,157, 3,775,032, 3,805,370, 3,822,974, 4,053,267 and 4,513,399, all assigned to the same assignee as the present application.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to powder material compacting presses, more particularly to an improved die and punch assembly for powder compacting presses and to the method practiced thereby.
A work station positioner assembly, forming part of the press apparatus, is disposed angularly or linearly movable over the die plate and is provided with three separate or integral elements, a powder dispenser unit, an anvil, and a pick-up head. The powder dispenser unit is first positioned over the die cavity to fill the die cavity with a predetermined amount of powder material. The dispenser unit is then removed from above the die cavity, and the anvil unit is in turn positioned over the die cavity and clamped in position. The punch is reciprocated upwardly in the die such as to compact the powder material between the punch end face and the anvil. The anvil is then unclamped from above the die cavity and replaced by the pick-up head as a result of further angular or linear motion of the work station positioner assembly. The punch is reciprocated upwardly so as to eject the compacted article from the die cavity into the pick-up head for transfer to a remote station, or, alternatively, for transfer to a collection station by subsequent motion of the work station positioner assembly.
By way of utilizing standardized punch and die assemblies in the form of interchangeable tool capsules, all adapted to be interchangeably mounted on the press table in an appropriate mounting aperture and held therein by any conveninent means such as by mounting bolts or clamps, the remaining of the tool capsule projecting below the press table, with the punch actuating mechanism of the press appropriately connected to the punch actuating plate portion of the tool capsule, it is a simple matter after a production run of a particular part to remove a tool capsule and replace it by another tool capsule for compacting a different part. With the exception of the die, the punches, and the core rods, if any, all the other mechanical parts forming the tool capsule are subject to little or no wear. The die, the punch and the core rods, if any, are however, subject to important load stresses and to wear, as a result of which they may experience dimensional changes, such as a progressive opening of tolerances, and, if subjected to abnormal loads, they may be damaged beyond repair or even break. It is therefore convenient for the user to provide a tool capsule which can be easily dismantled and which provides easy removal of the die plates or of the die bushings, the punches and the core rods, when they become worn or when they break, for replacement by new die plates or die bushings, punches and core rods.
A problem often associated with the production of, for example, relatively thin and wide articles compacted of powder material, is that of obtaining constant density throughout the width of the compacted article. If the density is not constant throughout the width of the article, during "firing" or sintering of the article in a furnace and in the course of cooling after sintering, the internal stresses caused by shrinkage of the article may cause the article to warp or, as it is commonly referred to, to become "banana-shaped". Such warpage, which is directly caused by the uneven density of the compacted powder particles, results from uneven filling of the die cavity by the powder dispenser unit. The powder dispenser unit is generally in the form of a dome or bell-shaped structure, forming part of the work station positioner assembly, which is supplied in powder material from a primary powder hopper through a flexible conduit. The edge, or lip, of the dome-shaped hollow structure, forming the powder dispenser unit, is constantly in engagement with the surface of the die plate, and the interior of the powder dispenser unit is constantly filled with powder material. When placed over the die cavity, with the punch retracted to the "fill" position, some amount of powder falls by gravity in the die cavity on the top of the punch face, and when the powder dispenser unit is displaced away from the die cavity, the trailing edge or lip of the powder dispenser unit wipes the top of the powder material in the die cavity on a level desirably flush with the die plate surface, such that a predetermined mass of powder material remains in the die cavity, with its top level ideally evenly disposed in the same plane as the plane of the die plate surface. However, the friction between the trailing edge or lip of the powder dispenser unit and the powder particles in the die cavity in the course of the travel of the powder dispenser unit across the top of the die cavity tends to displace the powder particles in the die cavity in the direction of travel of the powder dispenser unit, with the result that the leading side of the die cavity tends to become underfilled while the trailing side of the die cavity tends to overfill, and the wiping action of the trailing edge or lip of the powder dispenser unit tends to slightly prepack the powder particles in the direction of travel of the powder dispenser unit, and more so at the trailing side of the die cavity. The result is that, when the anvil is placed over the die cavity, and further frictional engagement may have taken place between the face of the anvil linearly moving in the same direction as the powder dispenser unit, further migration of powder particles may take place from the leading side of the die cavity to the trailing side with additional concentration of powder particles towards the trailing side. During compaction of the article through the subsequent upward motion of the punch face towards the anvil face, resulting in compacting the article within, for example, substantially parallel faces, the density of the compacted article is greater at the trailing side of the die cavity than it is at the leading side.
It has been discovered that uneven filling of the die cavity with powder material may be compensated for by slightly inclining the face of the punch towards the leading side of the die cavity. Although the punch could be made with a face disposed at a slight angle, such a structure is not convenient as the uneven filling of the die cavity varies in accordance with a plurality of inter-reacting and unpredictable variable factors such as atmospheric moisture, slight variations in the quantity or quality of the binder mixed with the powder material, variations in the size of the powder particles, etc.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION The present invention remedies the inconveniences of uneven packing or filling of the die cavity in a punch and die assembly for compacting relatively thin and wide articles, which may be subjected to warpage during subsequent firing or sintering after compaction, by providing adjustment of the punch such that its axis is no longer exactly perpendicular to the plane of the die plate surface, with the result that during filling of the die cavity and subsequent displacement of the powder dispenser unit from over the die cavity, substantially the same quantity of powder material is dropped on the top of the punch face throughout the width of the die cavity per unit of width of the die cavity.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art when the following description of the best mode contemplated for practicing the invention is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing wherein:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawing, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2 thereof, a die and punch assembly 10, or tool capsule, for example according to the invention disclosed in copending prior application Ser. No. 351,482 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,390,335 comprises a die plate 12 having a top plane surface 13. The die plate 12 is adapted for mounting in an opening 14 in the table 16 of a powder compacting apparatus, or press (not shown). The die plate 12 is mounted by means of countersunk screws 18, FIG. 1, on a spacer plate 20 in turn directly bolted or clamped, in a manner not shown, on the top of the table 16 over the opening 14. A pair of parallel spaced apart guide posts 22, mounted below the spacer plate 20, slidably support and guide a punch support plate 24 and a punch actuating platen 26 disposed parallel to each other and in spaced-apart relationship. The punch actuating platen 26 is mechanically connected to the press lower ram, not shown, for reciprocation therewith, and is rigidly connected to the punch support plate 24 by means of spacers such as tubular spacers 28, only one of which is shown, and bolts 30.
The die plate 12, made of heat-treated tool steel or of a metallic carbide, for example, has a die opening or cavity 32 in which is reciprocably disposed a punch 34 which may be made of solid construction but which, preferably, has a top block or insert 36 made of extra hard material such as a metal carbide or the like having a flat face 37, and a body portion 35. If so desired, the die plate 12 instead of being directly provided with a die opening 32 may be provided with a fitted die bushing of extra hard material such as a carbide, in turn provided with the die opening or cavity 32.
The punch 34, which, in the example of structure illustrated, has a substantially square body portion 35 and insert 36, is formed integral with a circular plate 38 bolted on the top of a generally cylindrical tubular punch base 40 by way of socket head bolts 42. The bottom of the punch base 40 is disposed on the top of a split adjusting bushing 44 and is solidly attached to the punch support plate 24 by means of a shouldered retainer bushing 46 disposed with little, if any, clearance in a bore 47 in the punch support plate 24. The retainer bushing 46 has a central bore 48 through which is passed, with clearance, the body 49 of a bolt 50 threading through a centrally disposed threaded bore 52 through the bottom of the cylindrical punch base 40. The die plate 12 has a cylindrical recess 51 formed on its lower surface to provide clearance around the punch circular plate 38, and the die spacer plate 20 has an opening 53 providing passage therethrough of the punch base 40.
The adjusting bushing 44 is split along a plane 54 such as to form two bushings 44a and 44b having respectively angled faces 54a and 54b normally engaged with each other, the plane 54 being disposed at an angle to a horizontal plane and perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, FIG. 2. A first horizontal plane is arbitrarily represented at FIGS. 2 and 4 only by a plane 56, which is defined at the junction between the top face 56a of the half bushing 44a and the bottom face 57 of the cylindrical punch base 40. Another horizontal plane 58 is also defined, at FIGS. 2-5 at the junction between the end face 58b of the half bushing 44b and an annular surface 59 on the top of the punch support plate 24. A third horizontal plane is the top surface 13 of the die plate 12. In the position illustrated at FIG. 2 the punch 34 is disposed with its centerline 60 accurately vertical and thus coinciding with the vertical axis 61, which is perpendicular to the horizontal planes 58 and 56 and to the surface 13 of the die plate 12 when two position reference marking are aligned, such as scribelines 60a and 60b, resepctively disposed on the peripheral surface of the half bushing 44a and on the peripheral surface of the half bushing 44b.
In structures wherein it is desired to provide the article compacted of powder material with apertures, the punch and die assembly 10 also comprises core rods, not shown herein for the sake of simplification of description of the invention, which are at all times held stationary during reciprocation of the punch 34, and which are disposed through appropriate bores through the punch. In punch and die assemblies using core rods, the core rods are supported at an end by a block 62 disposed below the punch support plate 38. The block 62 has a main body portion 64 freely disposed within a recess 66 in the punch base 40 and has a pair of diametrally opposed arms 70, FIGS. 1-3, laterally projecting through lateral slots 72 formed in the wall of the tubular punch base 40. The core rod support block 62 is thus mounted, bridge-like fashion, below the die plate 12 by means of a pair of bolts 74, FIG. 1, passed through vertically disposed bores proximate the end of the arms 70 and through the interior of tubular spacers 78, the end of each bolt 74 threading through an appropriate threaded bore in the die plate 12. In this manner, when the punch support plate 24 supporting the punch base 40 on the top of which the punch 34 is mounted is reciprocated the core rod support block 62 remains stationary.
The present invention provides for inclining the axis of the punch 34 to a position such that its longitudinal axis 60 is no longer coinciding with a vertical axis 61 and its end face 37 is no longer parallel to a horizontal plane or to the top surface 13 of the die plate 12. To effectuate such an adjustment, the bolt 50 is loosened and the adjusting half bushings 44a and 44b are manually rotated a few degrees in opposite directions from the reference position illustrated at FIG. 2, wherein the reference scribelines 60a and 60b are aligned, to the position illustrated at FIG. 3 wherein the scribelines 60a and 60b are no longer aligned, and the bolt 50 is retightened. In the position of FIG. 3, because the adjusting half bushings 44a and 44b have been rotated of the same angular amount in opposite directions relative to the reference position, the angle of tilting of the longitudinal axis 60 of the punch 34 has been effected in the plane of the drawing, the horizontal plane 58 remains in its original position, but the plane 56 has been tilted towards the left, as seen in the drawing, with the result that the punch 34 has been tilted to the left for the purpose to be indicated hereinafter. The vertical axis 61 and the longitudinal axis 60 of the punch 34 no longer coincide, FIGS. 3 and 5, and the punch support member 40 and the holding bolt 50 are also tilted toward the left.
The amount of tilt illustrated at FIG. 3 and at FIG. 5 is grossly exaggerated for the sake of understanding of the principle of the invention. In reality, the amount of tilting would be hardly noticeable by the naked eye, as it would amount only to a few seconds of a degree. Typically, the clearance between the wall of the die cavity 32 and the peripheral wall of the punch insert 36 is of the order of 0.001 in. (0.025 mm). Inclining the longitudinal axis 60 of the punch 34 an amount corresponding to 0.0005 in. (0.0127 mm) has experimentally been discovered to be sufficient to compensate for uneven filling of the die cavity above the punch face 37 during compacting of a substantially square article or workpiece about 0.5 in. (13 mm) wide and 0.060 thick (1.55 mm) after compacting.
With further reference to FIGS. 4-5, it can be seen that the plane 54 of engagement of the faces 54a and 54b of the half bushings 44a and 44b, respectively, and consequently the direction in which further adjustment will incline the longitudinal axis 60 of the punch 34 is determined by, or results from, manually rotating both half bushings 44a and 44b as a unit, the indexing scribelines 60a and 60b remaining aligned. Once the direction of inclination is determined in such manner, the half bushing 44a and 44b are rotated in opposite directions in equal angular distances such as to incline the plane 56 of the upper face 56a of the half bushing 44a an appropriate amount, FIG. 5, with the result that the angle that the longitudinal axis 60 of the punch 34 makes with the horizontal plane 58 is a function of the opposite angular displacements of rotation of the half bushings 44a and 44b.
Although infinitesimal, the adjustment provided by the split adjustment bushing 44 has been found to be fully adequate to remedy the problem illustrated schematically, and in an exaggerated manner, at FIGS. 6-10. The die plate 12 provided with the die cavity 32, FIG. 6, has an upper surface 13 which is disposed substantially in a horizontal plane or, in other words, parallel to the plane 58, FIGS. 2-5 and to the plane 56, FIGS. 2 and 4. In one position of the work station positioner, not shown, a powder dispenser unit 84 is positioned over the die cavity 32, the flat end face 37 of the punch 34 being retracted to an appropriate position corresponding to the die cavity filling position. The powder material dispenser unit 84 is in the form of an open bottom enclosure filled with powder particles 86, generally mixed with a small quantity of binder, supplied by gravity from a powder material hopper, not shown. The bottom edge or lip 88 of the powder dispenser unit 84 is constantly in sliding engagement with the surface 13 of the die plate 12. In the position schematically illustrated at FIG. 6, the powder particles 86 filling the interior of the powder dispensing unit 84 also fill the die cavity 32. Subsequently, the powder dispenser unit 84 is linearly or arcuately displaced, for example in the direction indicated by the arrow, FIG. 7, such that the trailing edge or lip 88a of the powder dispenser unit 84 should wipe the surface of the mass of powder particles in the die cavity 32 relatively even and relatively flush with the surfaces 13 of the die plate 12. However, because the front corner 88b of the trailing edge 88a of the powder dispenser unit 84 pushes the powder particles 86 at the surface of the mass of powder particles 86 in the die cavity 32 in the direction of displacement of the powder dispenser unit 84, and because of frictional inter-reaction between the moving powder particles still contained in the interior of the dispenser unit 84 and the stationary powder particles at the surface of the mass of powder in the die cavity 32, increased by the stickiness of the binder, the level of powder particles 86 in the die cavity 32 tends to be slanted, as shown at 90, due to the tendency of the powder particles to be more tightly packed together progressively toward the trailing side, or right side, 92 of the die cavity 32. The result is that, when the powder dispenser unit 84 has been fully displaced away from over the die cavity 32, FIG. 8, quantitatively more powder particles 86 are disposed over the face 37 of the punch 34 at the trailing side 92 than at the leading side, or left side, 94 of the die cavity. This effect, arbitrarily represented at FIG. 8 by the slanted level 90 of the surface of the powder particles 86 in the die cavity 32, causes the mass of powder particles 86 in the die cavity 32 to be thicker at the trailing side 92 than at the leading side 94 of the die cavity.
During compaction of the mass of powder particles 86 in the die cavity 32 between the punch end face 37 and the face 96 of an anvil 98 subsequently disposed over the die cavity, FIG. 9, the density of the compacted article 100 progressively increases from the portion corresponding to the leading side 94 of the die cavity 32 to the trailing side 92 thereof. During firing of the article 100 in a sintering furnace, and during cooling after sintering, the internal stresses to which the article is subjected result in causing the article 100 to become warped or curved, as schematically illustrated in an exaggerated manner at FIG. 10.
As illustrated at FIG. 11, also in a very grossly exaggerated manner, inclining the axis 60 of the punch 34 such that the face 37 of the punch is disposed at an angle to the plane of the surface 13 of the die plate 12, the scrubbing effect of the trailing edge or lip 88a of the powder dispenser unit 84 tends to fill the die cavity 32 to a level 90 which is also at a slant rather than being parallel with the plane of the upper surface 13 of the die plate 12, such that by accurate adjustment of the inclination of the punch 34 to dispose the punch face 37 parallel to the level 90 of powder dispensed in the die cavity 32, FIG. 11, the density of the compacted article 100, FIGS. 12 and 13, is substantially equal throughout its width. During the compacting step, FIG. 12, in view of the high compacting forces developed by the press punch actuating mechanism, and due to the relative length of the punch assembly and the elastic flexion of the diverse elements, and more particularly of the punch actuating mechanism and of the punch holder, the punch face 37 tends to rock the other way and become parallel to the face 96 of the anvil 98 at the end of the stroke of the punch 34 compacting the article 100 in the die cavity 32 between the punch face 37 and the anvil face 96. The results achieved are that, with proper inclination of the longitudinal axis 60 of the punch 34, the density of the powder particles in the compacted article 100 is substantially constant throughout the width of the article, and the article 100, after sintering or firing, and cooling is substantially straight, as shown at FIG. 13.
The amount of inclination of the longitudinal axis 60 of the punch 34, and the direction of inclination are determined experimentally by running a small batch of compacted articles after each set-up, sintering the batch of articles, and measuring the straightness of the articles until the best performance is achieved.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that although the dimensions involved, as previously mentioned, are infinitesimal and within the clearances built in the punch and die assembly which, also as previously mentioned, are grossly exaggerated in the drawing, it may be necessary for certain operations where more compensation is required to open the clearances slightly from those indicated by the numerical example hereinbefore given, by one or two orders of magnitude, and to make the bore in the die 12 forming the die cavity 32 on the top of the face 37 of the punch 34, with a slight taper at its portions below the die cavity with the punch in the fill position such as to accommodate inclination of the punch 34 beyond the limits allowed within normal assembly clearances.
Having thus described the invention by way of an example of structure well designed to provide the benefits of the method of the invention,

A Work-in-Progress Thursday | Quilt Musings
October 15, 2015	/ 12 comments
A Work-in-Progress Thursday
It took a little while, but I actually got to my sewing machine today! Years ago, I started a quilt based on Karen K. Stone’s Rattlesnake pattern. I had a few blocks completed and a stack of central paper-pieced sections done, but It got put in a box when I stopped quilting for a few years. When I took it out before the summer, I still loved the idea of it but had no idea what to do with the background of the blocks. Luckily this summer I collected a fair number of grey fabrics, and I like the idea of a grey/black/red background. Here’s a very rough idea of what I have in mind.
I’ve actually had the stack of potential background fabrics sitting on a table in my living room since August, but today I finally finished two more blocks. The quilt inspector was very excited when I put the first block on the floor to photograph it, and was quite insulted when I did not allow him to sit on it!
This quilt will be a bit outside my comfort zone — it is my first paper piecing attempt and a much more wild use of pattern and color than is my norm. And my normal high density quilting may end up getting entirely lost in all the pattern…I hope I still like it by the time it is done.
Linking this up to Work in Progress Wednesday and Let’s Bee Social. I am glad to finally have something to share!

Wow! Love those paper pieced middles to your blocks! They look fabulous – and I think that your backgrounds to them will work out just great too.
Quilt Musings October 15, 2015 — 11:36 pm
Thanks! I really love how precise paper piecing turns out. Never before have I had points like those!

Your paper pieced blocks look amazing. I have always been intimidated by most curves. These are pretty cool and look so nice with all those gray backgrounds. Your dog is too cute.

CM Shaw Studios: August 2012
The shock here was that Mr. Clean Eraser will take off paint without scratching glass. I swear that stuff is magic. I actually gave a box to a friend for Christmas one year because it works so well. So the pretty frosted pink glass stayed. The roses and outdated shade did not. Add in a fab-U-lous grey barrel shade, some grey chalk paint, silver acrylic and silver pigmented wax, all new guts, and... Voila! Meet Solange:
Tres chic, non? She will be in the fall Barn Sale, if you want to see her close up. Right now she's in my basement, if you want to see her wrapped in newspaper.

Of immeasurable help and comfort to her is her lover, Secret Service Agent Alex Warner and her sister/campaign manager, Corey Kincaid.Even though she’s planned for a tough fight, the campaign’s equilibrium is threatened by the rumor that Collins is about to be engulfed in scandal. The news comes from Julia Landen, a reporter assigned to the campaign and Alex’s ex-girlfriend. Jane wants her campaign to stay above the mire, but Corey and Julia grow increasingly obsessed with Collins’ problemsand they spend more and more time together. Not happy to have her ex underfoot, Alex shares Jane’s concern about the burgeoning romance.On the eve of the party convention the scandal explodes on the front pages, gutting the viability of the Collins/Kincaid ticket. Everyone suspects dirty tricks and Alex undertakes an investigationbut any evidence she finds won’t change the fact that Jane is once again standing on the edge of history. This time winning and losing both come with immeasurable consequences.

Diana’s Little Corner in the Nutmeg State: Being Counted.
I completed the Census yesterday and you should also fill out the Census questionnaire.
When we were trying to pass the non-discrimination bill for us the most common question was “Well how many trans people live in Connecticut?” and all we could do was shrug our shoulders.
There was no definitive answer to their question because there never was any accurate counting of trans people. When the first National Transgender Survey came out we now had some answers to the question about the needs of our community.
The 2020 Census originally had questions about us, but the questions were stripped out by the Trump administration.
Out NBC
Under the Obama administration there were questions pertained to us such as sexual orientation and gender identity but they were removed from the questions. However, some questions about marriage remained.
Why we need to be counted.
Mainly it boils down to money. But it also effects Congressional representation… how many House districts would represent Connecticut, we could lose a seat in the House. Funding for programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, Ryan White funding for those who have AIDS/HIV, and public housing.
The questions would also help to answer questions that we get from legislators when we try to pass needed legislation.
The Census form that I filled out yesterday was the short form, it just asked who lived at your address and a few demographic questions.
Please fill out your Census forms, it could mean a lot to you and Connecticut.
At night I had a NASW macro committee meeting (National Association of Social Workers) which was held via a conference call. It wasn’t very productive because everything we had planned was canceled. Workshops on macro social work… canceled. Macro social workers career panel... canceled. Social Workers meet and greet… canceled. The state NASW CT conference… canceled.

Henningsen Happenings: T & T Book Club Summer Reading Challenge
I have picked a four book series from the great state of Texas! I plan to make two trips to my sons house this summer in the deep of Texas - so when I discovered this series - I was intrigued. I challenged Tami to pick her own books to read this summer (and it was easy as she had recently posted here about her choices of "pretty covers" and great stories that were on her summer book reading list.) The challenge is this: She will read her choices and I will read my series - - - and weekly or every other week we are obligated to post on our blogs about our reading progress! An online book report if you will! Here are my books . . . and feel free to join us in the T & T Summer Reading Challenge!!
TamiMay 21, 2013 at 8:18 PMThamks for coming up with the Summer plan. Having to post about my reads will keep me on track - hopefully. I've read books by Ferm Michaels, but none of the Texas series. Hope they're good.ReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...

DEB ROBERTSON WRITES....: Camping in Kaikoura {part 2} making memories....
Camping in Kaikoura {part 2} making memories....
Parenting is about lots of things, but one of the most important is making memories.
And it's not necessarily the flash stuff that makes memories
I think it's the little things, done on a regular basis.
My theory is that a memory is not just about one occasion that something happened
but multiple times that build a picture in the child's brain
and when retold over and over again around the winter teatable,
becomes a fable, a truth that we all remember.
(My sister Sharyn remembers coming to Christchurch from Dunedin
even though she wasn't born yet)
Which is one of the reasons I made this picnic blanket,
that we have dragged about with us everywhere for all sorts of occasions,
it's kind of the background for all our picnics.
The children always get to do the dishes (sometimes more sometimes less)
and that in itself has become the stuff of family memories
some of them involving children less than happy to do dishes (they laugh now)
It's quite a lot of work to take kiddies camping,
especially if Dad has to go back to work and mummy is using her crutch to walk about,
I'm hoping and praying that these times will be the things that the kiddies remember
when they are grown up, that they remember summers spent camping here and there,
playing for hours and riding bikes and eating big dinners at the end of the day.
Lying in bed reading stories to each other,
Watching a movie occasionally when someone needs a rest.
I think they will probably remember the time mum fell both into and out of the caravan,
and the little sewing machine by the door.
And I know for sure they will remember the time the storm came through
and blew the awning clear over the caravan and scattered our belongings far and wide,
even though they didn't see it, I'm sure they will remember "seeing it"
because the story will be told over and over again.
Yes we have been making memories this week for sure.
I'm truly truly grateful for this opportunity.

My favorite childhood memories are those spent camping up North in Mahia. Your post has inspired me to do the same with my boys. We often stay at the Bach, but it's not quite the same! Lovely post and glad you had a good time.
Katherine October 8, 2012 at 2:24 AM
Another great post. I often worry about all my children's memories of me are me being "lazy". I have been in a constant state of pregnancy, recovery and breastfeeding for their whole lives (and my whole marriage).
Jo Somerville October 8, 2012 at 3:14 AM
My parents were never 'camping' people but I have wonderful memories of my kiwi grandparents taking my cousin,my sister and me camping for 4weeks the summer I was 7. We toured the whole South Island...I remember lots of 'outside' time (I think my grandparents were a little old for a full on Tomboy 7 year old!), lots of fruit picking (it's not stealing if it's on the ground...so shake the tree till the fruit falls off!) , that the sun never seemed to set, constant reminders that we were safe as there are no poisonous snakes or spiders in NZ and that I seemed to have a relative of some description in every place we stopped! But most of all I remember feeling fresh air and freedom!! I hope that the memories I'm making with my kiddies are just as fabulous!
**Anne** October 8, 2012 at 4:22 AM
By the look of these photos you are creating wonderful memories for your kids.
Susan C. October 8, 2012 at 12:54 PM
Lovely memories for Mum too. Routine is good but my kids often remember the times things went a little awry more vividly....lol. It's the time spent in good company that is precious as well, we as parents can only try to lay down good foundations that will keep things strong, and parents that spend time communicating with their kiddies have the best chance to stay strong....lovely post by the way.
Ailsa October 14, 2012 at 4:27 PM
I grew up camping and have the best memories. Now I camp with my own kids and they thoroughly love it! Love your blog.
Kally October 16, 2012 at 12:25 PM
Loved reading this. I totally agree. It is the little things. My husband remembers going to the Statue of Liberty - he was only 6 months old. But the family told the tale and he saw the pictures. Kally

As I study God it's so easy to just stop up short. To stop up short at knowing stuff about God and not enter in to actually knowing God. To hear things about God, but not even listen to God.
So much clogs up my ears, and I'm not just talking ear-wax - thought Melissa thinks I have a problem with this. I think that that what really keeps me from presently knowing God is not entering in to the cycle of love, trust and obedience.
I say "cycle" of these three because I believe that they all feed eachother. As another blogger, Pastor Paul at http://pastorpaulvbsblog.blogspot.com, reminded me today, obedience is birthed from the relationship of love and trust. As I trust, I obey. As I obey, I love. As I love, I trust. I love it! I could mix those up all day.
I stumble when I think that I've got to feel God's love before I obey, for obedience may be the vehicle through which he wants me to feel his love. Anyhow, I struggle with actually knowing my God. But it is good to know that he knows me, knows my struggle and my mental hiccups, and all the games I play to try and get out of obedience. And he knows how tempted I am to run my own life, find my own blessings and live for my moments rather than his. And I am convinced that his knowledge is what will win the day in my life.

Bloggers react to Oracle's 'desperate' move - CNET
Bloggers react to Oracle's 'desperate' move
Many say the software giant's only means of growth is to buy up rivals, while others say deal will be fraught with challenges.
13 September 2005 7:07 pm BST
Some saw the acquisition as a no-brainer. In New West, a blog devoted to issues affecting the "Rocky Mountain West," Jonathan Weber wrote that, "Siebel had no future as an independent company because others have come along with software that is far, far cheaper and works much better for most applications. Once customers commit to something like Siebel, however, they are committed for a long time because it is so expensive to implement, and that's why it makes sense for Oracle to buy" the company.
But the overwhelming theme coming from the blogging community was that the acquisition was the desperate act of an ailing company that can no longer find growth organically and has to look elsewhere to expand.
The Trading Equities Investment Analytics Group, written by a self-proclaimed former Wall Street insider, said "investors must wonder how desperate Ellison is to generate earnings growth....As a means to improve its ROE (return on equity), Oracle wants to capture Siebel's assets as a means to further eliminate competition and add to its lackluster earnings. You know a company is desperate for business when they fail to deliver expected earnings growth and continue to acquire competitors."
Techdirt points out the same but questions whether Oracle is looking for growth in the right places.
"This does seem like a big admission from Oracle that its core business is slowing down and its apps business hasn't been very successful, so they need to buy from outside to keep growing," the site read. "Obviously, the plan (as it was when they tried to build their own apps) is to have apps that push for more database sales, and by taking out many of the competitive apps, they hope that Oracle comes across as the only choice. However, to some extent, it seems like they're focusing on buying the big legacy apps, and still ignoring the growing threats from below that look to completely undercut their market."
Dave Berlind, of ZDNet's Between the Lines blog, said it was interesting that large software companies find acquisition about the only way to increase revenues. "More interesting however," Berlind wrote, "is how the move positions Oracle CEO Larry Ellison as the king of all-things-CRM (customer relationship management). In addition to the way Oracle's databases provide the underpinnings for many if not most CRM installations today, Oracle not only has its own CRM offering, Larry Ellison is also a stakeholder in two of the most prominent rising CRM stars: Siebel arch-nemesis Salesforce.com and NetSuite...About the only CRM darling that Ellison doesn't have a stake in is the Bozeman, Mont.-based RightNow Technologies."
The conspicuousness of RightNow's position was not lost on Phil Wainewright, another ZDNet blogger. "Certainly, Microsoft and SAP's meager efforts now look puny in comparison, to the extent that SAP is probably already taking a serious look at acquiring on-demand CRM vendor RightNow Technologies, rather than relying on its upcoming launch of a homegrown offering to get in the game," he wrote.
Wainewright also looked at a few major obstacles Oracle will have to overcome to make the acquisition go smoothly. "The first practical problem will be extricating the Siebel CRM OnDemand infrastructure from hosting partner IBM's data centers. (You can just imagine Ellison's views on the desirability of running on WebSphere and DB2)." Wainewright goes on to cite the difficulty of merging the two code bases as well as predicting a rocky integration of culture. "Although Oracle has taken some strides in re-engineering its architecture for on demand, it hasn't done anything yet about its business model, which is still cast firmly in the SoSaaS (Same Old Software as a Service) mold."

Colin White of B-Eye pointed to potential problems for current customers. "As with PeopleSoft," he wrote, "Siebel's products support a number of underlying database products. If I was a Siebel customer I would be very nervous at present if the database product I was using is other than Oracle."
But, as has become par for the course, Salesforce.com's Marc Benioff has to take the prize for best commentary on the matter. In an e-mail to ZDNet's Berlind, the outspoken executive wrote "Even dinosaurs mate a few times before they die. It's the end of software. It's the end of Siebel."

Unlucky Primes: Review || The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin
Review || The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms (Inheritance #1) by N.K. Jemisin ★★★★☆
This was a really excellent read. I'd been wanting to try Jemisin's work for a while now and the combination of the praise for her new series and my happening across a short story of hers in a collection I was reading really put things in motion for me.
There was just something about this book. I had a hard time putting it down. And when I did, I found myself constantly thinking about the characters. I really like politically driven fantasy--navigating the court, unraveling the secrets, figuring out who is scheming with whom. Parts of it really reminded me of Kushiel's Dart, especially in tone, though I couldn't tell you exactly why. They're very different books.
Still, the worldbuilding was spectacular, the characters were complex and interesting and I enjoyed myself every time I sat down to read. Some of the writing was a bit clunky at times, but given that this is Jemisin's debut, it didn't bother me much. I can't wait to read more from her.

Paul William John Glover (born February 27, 1963) is a British petrophysicist and geophysicist and has been a key contributor to the theory, modelling and measurement of the electrical properties of rocks.
Paul Glover was born in Birmingham and brought up in a sub-urban semi in Erdington. He was educated Yenton Primary School and Handsworth Grammar School. Glover studied Physics at Imperial College London in the Royal College of Science, but spent most of his time working for the Royal College of Science Union and looking after a 1916 Dennis N-type fire-engine called "Jezebel" that is still looked after by the RCS Motor Club. Although he obtained only a moderate BSc (1984), Paul Glover has always maintained that the engineering training that he gained from looking after the fire-engine contributed significantly to his later research. Glover then studied Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, where he was fortunate to be supervised by Keith Runcorn FRS who was in the process of developing a world-leading department studying the geophysics of the Earth and Moon. However, Glover decided to base his research on the archaeological applications of geophysical techniques and was one of the first scientists to develop an earth resistivity meter designed solely for archaeological prospecting (MSc, 1985). Subsequently, Glover transferred to the University of East Anglia to work with Frederick Vine, pioneering experimental work on the electrical conductivity of rocks in the lower crust (PhD, 1989).
As a graduate student Fred Vine's Ph.D was 'magnetism in the seafloor', on which he worked along with his supervisor Drummond Matthews. Having met Harry Hess he was fully aware of his theories on sea floor spreading where the ocean bed effectively acts as a 'conveyor belt' moving away from the central ridge.[1] Vine's work, along with that of Drummond Matthews and Lawrence Morley of the Geological Survey of Canada, helped put the variations in the magnetic properties of the ocean crust into proper context (Vine–Matthews–Morley hypothesis). Specifically Vine and Matthews supported Dietz’s (Nature 1961) idea that sea floor spreading was occurring at mid ocean ridges. Vine and Matthews showed that basalt created at a mid-ocean ridge records earth’s current magnetic field polarity (and strength), thus turning Hess's theoretical 'conveyor belt' into a 'tape recorder'.[1] Furthermore, they showed that magnetic reversals, suggested by Allan Cox (Nature 1963),[2] can be seen as parallel strips as you travel perpendicularly away from the ridge crest.[1]
Professor Glover has had an extremely diverse career that has so far spanned 5 countries and 3 continents. He started as an experimental rock physicist working at high temperatures and pressures and concentrating on the electrical properties of rocks, but expanded his expertise to include theoretical work and numerical modelling of all transport properties. While at the University of East Anglia, Professor Glover carried out extremely difficult experimental work measuring the electrical conductivity of graphite-rich and graphite-free amphibolites and granulites at lower crustal temperatures and pressures with a full water saturation and pore fluid pressure with R.G. Ross and Frederick Vine. These measurements were carried out in order to understand the high conductivity zones that are found in the lower crust all over the world. After graduating he spent a number of years working for British Petroleum as a research petroleum engineer at the BP Research Centre, Sunbury-on-Thames, but returned to academia in 1992 as a NERC postdoctoral research fellow in the Rock and Ice Physics Laboratory at University College London under P.G. Meredith. While at UCL he converted their uniaxial and triaxial rock deformation apparatuses to measure eletrical conductivity, which resulted in a technique for
Vine had a distinguished career. He did important research with E.M. Moores on the Ophiolite within the Troodos mountains of southern Cyprus. He worked with R.A. Livermore and A.G.Smith on the history of Earth's magnetic field.[3] He then did groundbreaking work on the electrical conductivity of rocks from the lower continental crust with R. G. Ross and P.W.J. Glover, which culminated in 1992 with measurements of the electrical conductivity of graphite-rich[4] and graphite-free[5] amphibolites and granulites at lower crustal temperatures and pressures with a full water saturation and pore fluid pressure.
In 1967 he became assistant professor of geology and geophysics at Princeton University. In 1970 he worked at the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, U.K., firstly as a Reader, then as Professor in 1974, and was Dean from 1977–1980, and again from 1993–1998. Since 1998, Vine has been a Professorial Fellow of the University of East Anglia.[3] As of 2008 he remains at the university as Emeritus Professor.[6]
