It was fun to watch the Cardinals play energetic, exciting baseball for three days to win a series at Arizona. It was also frustrating. Please let me explain.
I promise I’m not trying to be negative here. Given the Cards’ recent misery, I appreciate what they pulled off in Arizona, going into Chase Field and taking two of three games from one of the best and hottest teams in the majors.
Entering the series the Diamondbacks had a 49-28 record and were 29-10 at home. Their home dominance was especially unrelenting in recent weeks, with a 14-2 record at Chase since May 15. And after squandering a late 5-2 lead and losing the first game on Tuesday night, the Cardinals didn’t mope. They rallied against a damned good ballclub to take two in a row.
Cards’ hitters averaged 6.3 runs per game and scored five runs in 8.2 innings of at-bats against an excellent Arizona bullpen. Cards pitchers limited AZ to 13 runs in the series, and that’s very good considering the D-backs’ home average of 6.2 runs per game.
Cardinals starting pitchers Carlos Martinez, Adam Wainwright and Lance Lynn successfully fought off a dangerous Diamondbacks lineup, combining to give up seven earned runs in 18.1 innings for a 3.44 ERA. The rotation came through with three consecutive quality starts in a three-game series for the first time since May 12-14.
And after Tuesday’s meltdown, the Cards’ bullpen clamped down during the two wins, getting touched for two earned runs in 5.2 innings … and one of those runs was a garbage-time solo homer after the Cardinals carried a 10-3 lead into the ninth inning Thursday.
The Cardinals defense had a couple of poor moments but was not charged with an error during the three games. The base-running was competent. It was good baseball.
And that’s what frustrates me.
This is no powerhouse team, but the Cardinals are capable of being better than they are. Based on underlying statistics and the opponent-quality adjustments made by Baseball Prospectus, the Cardinals should have a 41-37 record. Instead, they’re 37-41.
Four games may not seem like a big deal, but I think it is. With first place in the NL Central still on the table, there for a team to grab it, every win is precious. Every bungled win is damaging.
Again, I am not confusing the 2017 Cardinals with the 2004 Cardinals. But the display in Arizona offered a view of what the Cardinals should be. An offense that can draw walks and pounce on openings. Solid starting pitching that gives the team a chance to win. A reliable bullpen — over the last two days, anyway. Clean baseball.
I don’t think that is too much to ask.
I’m not demanding greatness from a team that doesn’t have the horses to ride to greatness. But the 2017 Cardinals can raise their record and elevate their performance just by playing a crisp brand of baseball, severely limiting their knucklehead tendencies, taking smarter at-bats and getting reasonable run-prevention results from their pitchers.
Obviously, we haven’t seen enough of that. We haven’t seen many stretches where every area of the team — offense, pitching, defense, base running — clicks in unison for a while. The synergy is elusive.
The Cardinals are fortunate to be only 3.5 games out of first place.
The last time a STL team had a losing season, 2007, the record was about the same through 78 games.
The ’07 Cardinals were 36-42 through 78, and the 2017 Cardinals are 37-41.
Here’s the profound difference: after 78 games, the 2007 Cardinals were 9.5 games out of first place. The ’17 Cardinals are much closer. For additional perspective look back to last summer. After 78 games into their schedule, the 2016 Cardinals were a 40-38 — or three games better than they are now at the same point. But by then the ’16 division race didn’t matter; the Cards were already 11 games behind the first-place Cubs after Game No. 78.
The Cardinals undoubtedly are relieved — and maybe surprised — to find themselves within fairly easy reach of first place. I thought Lance Lynn presented the perfect perspective in a postgame conversation with Post-Dispatch Hall of Fame baseball writer Rick Hummel.
Talking about the Cardinals being only 3.5 games behind the first-place Brewers Lynn said this: “If you look at yourself in the mirror, we would say we’re having a bad year. We’ve got a lot of things we need to get right. When you look at it, yeah, we’re two games back or whatever. But we still haven’t played good baseball. Who cares about how many games back we are? We’ve got to start playing good baseball.”
The Cardinals have played a lot of bad baseball in 2017.
They played good baseball in the Arizona series and you could see what it did for the team’s energy. The Cardinals had a rollicking good time in Thursday’s 10-4 win, which was highlighted by Randal Grichuk’s homer and five RBIs.
What did this series mean?
Was it a fluke?
Was it a temporary turn in a positive direction?
Will the Cardinals revert to having destructive, lunkhead lapses in fundamentals?
I don’t know.
But they have an opportunity to build on their small but hopeful success in Arizona.
Between now and the All-Star break, the Cardinals are set up for a 10-game home stand. Three against Washington, four vs. Miami, three against the NY Mets.
The Cardinals will show us if any real momentum will come out of Arizona … or if the series was an aberration and a tease.
Thanks for reading …

I’ve stayed at many different hotels in Moscow including Moscow Marriott Tverskaya, Moscow Marriott Royal Aurora, Renaissance Moscow Monarch Centre Hotel, and the Holiday Inn Lesnaya.
The Moscow Marriott Tverskaya and the Holiday Inn Lesnaya are located right by the Belarusskaya train station, which is also where the Aeroexpress airport train comes from Sheremetyevo airport.
I stayed at the Marriott Tverskaya last year and it is still up to very high standards and is a short walk from the Aeroexpress dropoff location.
The hotel usually runs around $300 a night as upscale hotels are at a premium in Moscow. Mighty Travels posted that the Tverskaya is showing up as $80 through lots of July, August, and November.
If you’re going to be traveling to Moscow, I would highly recommend not only this hotel but also taking advantage of this sale.

In the last post, I babbled about how Japan is famously associated to tradition, dedication, and perseverance. Today, I ran into another cool short clip from Great Big Story about a family who has been brewing sake for generations (55 generations to be exact.) Talk about dedication.
The short video might be all too short, but it does radiate this family’s strong root and passion for making sake, their own form of art. I like videos that contain more than just visual and audio content, but maybe that’s just me.
When I go back to Japan again, I’m definitely hitting up this brewery for a little tour if they have one, or just to sample their sake collection.

A source close the KUWTK family dished to People about the drama saying:
“Khlo├â┬⌐ and her family have all expressed concerns. The family doesn’t think Lamar should be drinking, and they are nervous about his behavior.”
Of course, it’s no surprise that the person most upset about all of this is Khlo├â┬⌐ Kardashian as the blonde beauty not only refused to leave the athlete’s side during his health scare, but has also talked quite a bit about her relationship with him. Not to mention, Miz Kardashian has sent quite a few cryptic messages online. The insider revealed that:
“Lamar made a promise to Khlo├â┬⌐ not to drink or abuse drugs after his health scare. The concerns are that his addictive personality once again is taking over and he won’t be able to control the drinking.”
KoKo and the rest of her fam are NOT taking Odom’s actions lightly either, as the source also said:
“There have been talks about rehab for Lamar. He just doesn’t seem to agree with the concerns.”
We really hope that L.O. can pull through on his own, but we fully support whatever needs to be done to get Khlo├â┬⌐’s estranged husband back on a healthy track. Good luck, Lamar!

Thank You For Submiting Feedback!
Unif. Trust Code § 808(b)-(d) ratify the use of trust protectors and advisers. Section 808(c) is similar to Restatement (Third) of Trusts § 64(2). "Trust protector," a term largely associated with offshore trust practice, is more recent and usually connotes the grant of greater powers, sometimes including the power to amend or terminate the trust. Section 808(c) (as enacted in § 736.0808(3), Fla. Stat. (2008) ratifies the recent trend to grant third persons such broader powers. The provisions of this section may be altered in the terms of the trust. Unif. Trust Code § 105. A settlor can provide that the trustee must accept the decision of the power holder without question. Or a settler could provide that the holder of the power is not to be held to the standards of a fiduciary.
Zaven Minassian ("husband") executed a statement of trust in 1999 and executed a re-statement of trust in 2008. The restatement created a revocable trust, which became irrevocable upon his death. He named himself and his wife as the sole trustees. After his death in 2010, his children filed a complaint against his wife alleging that she was improperly administering the trust. They claimed she had breached her fiduciary duties, sought a surcharge against her, and demanded an accounting of the trust. In the midst of litigation in which the trustee of a family trust was being sued for accountings and breach of fiduciary duty, the trustee appointed a "trust protector," as allowed by the terms of the trust, to modify the trust's provisions. These modifications were unfavorable to the litigation position of the beneficiaries, and they filed a supplemental complaint to declare the trust protector's modifications invalid. The trial court found that, because the trust was unambiguous, the trust protector had no authority to change the terms of the trust.
Was the trust protector provision in the trust valid?
The court held that Section 736.0808(3), Fla. Stat., allowing for a trust protector, was not invalid, because under § 736.0106, Fla. Stat., to the extent it conflicted with common law precluding non-delegation of a trustee's discretionary powers, it overrode common law principles. Sections 736.0410-736.04115 and 736.0412, Fla. Stat., could be harmonized with § 736.0808(3) by concluding that the sections on modifying trusts did not provide the exclusive means to do so, at least insofar as a trust document granted a trust protector the power to do so. The trust was ambiguous, and because it was the settlor's intent that where his trust was ambiguous or imperfectly drafted, the use of a trust protector would be his preferred method of resolving those issues, removing that authority from the trust protector and assigning it to a court violated the settlor's intent.

Accessorizing can be a difficult task, even for a designer. Part of the reason for this is that, while there is some method to accessorizing (more like “staging”), some of it is just trial and error.
Ruling out what you don’t need or doesn’t work. Playing with different shapes and color combos. Mixing textures. Creating layers.
And that’s the reason I really like this book by Deborah Needleman:
In the book, Needleman discuss everything from lighting, to plants, to pillows, to area rugs and all within the premise that a house should look “lived in”. Somewhat based on this quote by Billy Baldwin, “Any house or room remembered with pleasure has the look of being loved by those who live in it.” Needleman’s belief is that a home should be a reflection of it’s inhabitants rather than a (wanna-be) model home or designer’s showcase. Basically, it should be warm and inviting.
One of the ways that she suggests creating this warm feeling is by incorporating, what she calls, “jollifiers”. These are personal, sentimental items that can (and should) be incorporated into your home’s design style to make the space more personal (and because they’re just special!). She also discusses “cozifications” and “glamifications” and sums it by by saying “Style is a luxury, and luxury is simply what makes you happy.”
Beyond including the great tips and tricks in The Perfectly Imperfect Home, Needleman enlisted Virginia Johnson to illustrate each section with beautiful watercolor depictions. These images are half of what makes the book so inspiring!
The book isn’t cheap (around $20ish) and it’s fairly new, so it might be hard to find a used one, but if you can score a copy, do it! Not only is it useful, it makes for a charming addition to any coffee table.
Happy Reading, friends!

Struggling Juan Uribe homered, doubled and drove in four runs to lead the Dodgers past the New York Mets, 8-5, on Saturday at Citi Field.
Uribe, hitting under .200, capped his day with a two-run home run in the ninth inning off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, the Mets starter who leads the National League with 13 wins but was called on in relief.
For the second consecutive game the Dodgers chased the Mets' starting pitcher after only three innings, in this case veteran Miguel Batista. The Dodgers are now 2-0 on their 10-game trip.
Several Dodgers drove in runs besides Uribe, including Adam Kennedy, James Loney, Luis Cruz and Matt Treanor.
Dodgers starter and ex-Met Chris Capuano was solid if not stellar in earning his 10th win by holding his old teammates to three runs in seven innings, including a solo home run by Ronny Cedeno.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), the federal agency responsible for regulating the consumer financial industry, appears poised to regulate arbitration clauses that restrict consumers’ relief when a dispute arises between them and their financial service provider.
In recent years, large corporations – particularly those in financial services industries – have been including mandatory arbitration clauses in their customer agreements. These provisions, which are generally buried in the fine print of an already lengthy “take or leave it” contract, often include a class action waiver, which blocks the consumer from bringing a class action – whether in court or in arbitration – to remedy harm suffered by them and other consumers. Because these class action waivers are deliberately designed by financial service providers to block consumers from effectively vindicating their rights, the CFPB is taking a hard look at these contract provisions. While the CFPB is not considering banning arbitration clauses entirely, it has proposed making arbitration clauses inapplicable in cases that are filed as potential class action lawsuits.
The need for the CFPB to intervene is clear. In a recent study published by the CFPB, the agency found that arbitration clauses are pervasive, with tens of millions of consumers covered by such clauses in contracts involving financial services, including credit cards, checking accounts, student loans, and mobile wireless contracts. That study also looked at the number of claims pursued through arbitration or federal lawsuits by consumers against such firms over a two year period, finding that only about 25 cases per year involved consumers’ claims seeking $1,000 or less demonstrating that consumers generally did not seek redress for individual matters that involved small claims. In stark contrast, the CFPB study found that 32 million consumers each year who were not restricted by arbitration clauses were able to join class action lawsuits and therefore were able to obtain redress through class action settlements. These class actions also brought about necessary change to improper business practices, providing consumers with additional valuable relief.
In a recent speech given by CFPB Director Richard Cordray, he recognized that “[b]y joining together to pursue their claims as a group, affected consumers would be able to seek and, when appropriate, obtain meaningful relief that as a practical matter they could not get on their own” and that the proposals the CFPB is considering “would deter wrongdoing on a broader scale.” As Mr. Cordray aptly stated “[c]ompanies should not be able to place themselves above the law and evade public accountability simply by inserting the magic word ‘arbitration’ in a document and dictating the favorable consequences.”
The CFPB has received feedback in response to its proposals and the next step will be for the agency to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and seek public comment before finalizing the rule.
Trief & Olk, which represents consumers in class actions brought against financial service providers, is encouraged by the CFPB’s actions and will continue to monitor the progress of CFPB’s rulemaking as it unfolds.

"I feel disgust to an extent that I am unable to comment on normalization. I know that Bahrainis have nothing to do with this," she said in a tweet.
She added "Be sure that Bahrainis who don't write today under the hashtag #Bahrainis_against_Normalization may be employees at an institution that doesn't allow them to express a view opposing to the state. The Bahraini people are innocent of the agreement of shame. The hashtag is full of love to Palestine and clear rejection of normalization."

Variable Monochrome - Varier kneeling chair
Design: Peter Opsvik for Varier Furniture
The Monochrome series is a colorful homage to the innovation and more than 40 years of history of the Variable chair. The original design remains unchanged and is complemented by a whole new palette of bold shades.
The Variable ™ seating furniture is a design icon with recognition value. The ergonomic chair was first introduced in 1979 during the Copenhagen Furniture Fair. It was one of the first prototypes of Hans Chr. Mengshoel's balans concept. As the name suggests, the chair allows for a variety of positions. Its curved runners promote gentle rocking movements and thus help to prevent tension when working. The hips are stretched in the slightly inclined seat angle. The two cushions under the seat can be used to rest the shins, one foot, or both feet. Forwards, sideways or backwards - as you like. The chair is an open construction and the design dispenses with any kind of mechanical adjustment options. It is lightweight and can be easily moved.
Peter Opsvik (born 1939) is a Norwegian industrial designer, educated at Bergen College of Applied Art and Norwegian State College of Applied Arts in Oslo. He has worked as a freelance industrial designer since 1970. In his Oslo studio, he and seven colleagues create product designs that solve real-world problems. Over the years, he has repeatedly challenged our classic seating habits with unconventional seating solutions. With his playful, human-oriented approach, he breaks with norms such as “sit properly” or “sit still” in his work.
The wooden runners are treated with an eco-friendly water-based paint, matching the color of the upholstery, to showcase the iconic shape of the chair.
Dimensions: W 52cm x D 72cm x H 51cm
Material: FOREST NAP - 95% wool, 5% nylon
The Variable ™ is made from beech plywood. The plywood is treated through a forming process that uses heat and pressure to combine and bond layers of veneer. This iterative process gives the layers their characteristic shape. All wooden parts are flexible and stable, they give you a sitting experience that is never static. For a beautiful and durable finish, the plywood is covered with an ash veneer that is hand sanded and coated with water-based varnishes.
Price incl. statutory VAT.
Free shipping delivery.
If the goods are in stock, the delivery time is 3 working days, otherwise the chair will be made to order in 4 weeks. You can see the immediate availability in the item overview under Quantity in stock.

Gold Bullion Coins and Bars
Throughout the centuries many numismatists have considered buying rare gold coins as a viable diversification from paper based equities, however when a client decides to invest in precious metals, to buy gold coins exclusively for their intrinsic worth, to purchase silver bars or to acquire rare and strategic platinum, they have truly embarked on the world of tangible hard assets. We at National Coin Broker are pleased to offer our services and expertise in this field to you, our valued clientele.
Why is gold referred to as a precious metal?
A metal is deemed to be precious if it is rare. The discovery of new sources of ore or improvements in mining or refining processes may cause the value of a precious metal to diminish at least temporarily. The status of a “precious” metal can also be determined by high demand or market value. For the numismatist buying rare gold coins, it can be a very lengthy and calculating process. Conversely, precious metals in bulk form and bullion are traded on commodity markets and through established dealer networks throughout the world.
What is gold bullion?
Bullion metals may be cast into ingots, or minted into coins. The defining attribute of bullion is that it is valued by its mass and purity rather than by a face value as money. With that said, the various US Eagle gold bullion coin issues became so popular after their introduction, that a secondary market began to emerge and soon third-party grading services PCGS/NGC began encapsulating and grading the various gold bullion coins. Amazingly, several issues of the gold American Eagle family of bullion coins are really quite scarce and are actually considered, at least within the context of the modern series, rare gold coins. However it is wise to remember that most investors are not buying rare gold coins, they are looking to buy gold coins as close to the spot or current market value as possible. If however, a certain issue is also deemed collectible, well then you have the benefit of both worlds.
How is gold bullion made?
Many nations mint gold bullion coins. Although nominally issued as legal tender, these gold coins’ face value as currency is far below that of their value as gold bullion. For instance, Canada mints gold Maple Leaf bullion coins at a face value of $50 containing one troy ounce (31.1035 g) of gold. Bullion coins’ minting by national governments tends to give them some numismatic value in addition to their bullion worth, as well as certifying their purity.
The level of purity varies from issue to issue. 99.9% purity is common. The purest mass-produced bullion coins are represented in the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf series, which go up to 99.999% purity. Please note that 100% pure gold bullion is impossible, as absolute purity in extracted and refined metals is asymptotically approached.
Many gold bullion coins contain a stated quantity (such as one troy ounce) of the marginally-impure alloy. In contrast, the Krugerrand is one of many historic and modern bullion coins of 22kt with a stated content (usually one troy ounce), with the other component(s) of the alloy making the coin heavier than one ounce in total. Still more gold bullion coins (for example: British Sovereign) state neither the purity, the fine-gold weight nor the denomination on the coin, but are recognized by their consistent composition through the centuries.
Interestingly in the early to mid-1970’s, thousands upon thousands of British gold sovereigns made their appearance in the United States and were bought and sold at very modest premiums over their gold bullion content. In fact, before dealers started searching through the sovereigns, many rare gold coins from this series, especially those minted in Australia, were pulled from dealer’s inventory by savvy collectors at merely gold bullion prices! At least for a time, before dealers became aware of this trend, this was an extremely affordable way to buy rare gold coins!
While the British Sovereign weighs in at .2354 ounces, one of the largest bullion coins in the world is the 10,000 dollar Australian Gold Nugget coin. Minted in Australia, this mammoth consists of a full kilogram of 99.9% pure gold. There have been a small number of larger gold bullion coins which have been minted, but they are impractical to handle and not produced in mass quantities.
China has produced gold bullion coins in very limited quantities (less than 20 pieces minted) that exceed 260 troy ounces (8 kg) of gold. Austria has minted a gold bullion coin weighing in at 31 kg (the Vienna Philharmonic Coin minted in 2004 with a face value of 100,000 Euros). As a stunt to publicize the 99.999% pure one-ounce Canadian Gold Maple Leaf series, in 2007, the Royal Canadian Mint made a 100 kg 99.999% gold bullion coin, with a face value of $1 million, and now manufactures them to order, but at a substantial premium over the market value of gold. Literally these are some heavy metal rare gold coins! Although great for display, certainly not conducive for storage in your typical safe-deposit box.
Gold Bullion Coins As A Hedge
Certainly with the rapid advancement of gold, now trading over $1,200 per ounce, individuals looking to buy gold coins as a hedge against inflation and protect their dwindling paperback assets from further erosion are looking to secure the best value possible. Interestingly as the price of gold escalates, the collectible premium over the current spot market for US $20 Liberty and Saint-Gaudens gold coins has made them a viable option for this discussion. Whereas previously it may have been considered “buying rare coins” when the discussion of Double Eagles came up, many high-end circulated and low-end mint state Double Eagles are affordable options when looking to buy gold coins merely for their bullion content. National Coin Broker offers ALL of the most popularly traded gold bullion coins and bars.

The prototype space shuttle Enterprise is resting in New Jersey after completing the first half of its trip to the flight deck of a decommissioned aircraft carrier in New York City.
The shuttle left Kennedy Airport Sunday morning on a barge and was towed past thousands of spectators to Jersey City.
The shuttle had been at JFK since it flew from Washington atop a 747 jet earlier this spring.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
A spokeswoman for the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum says the shuttle’s wingtip sustained light cosmetic damage during the trip when a gust of wind caused it to graze a wood piling. No other damage was reported.
On Tuesday, the Enterprise is to be taken to the Intrepid on Manhattan’s West Side where a crane will lift it onto the flight deck.

Last year I hosted a Girls Night In Valentine’s Day Party at my home with close friends. It was my first time ever participating in an organized Valentine’s Day event with other women, and needless to say it was a huge success.
This year, when I received an invitation from Raleigh Blog Society to attend the second annual Galentine’s Blogger Brunch, I was beyond excited about the opportunity to spend one of my favorite times of the year with my girls. I’d be a fool to not want to spend a Sunday morning with the beautiful Raleigh Blog Society.
I knew it was going to be fun but I honestly didn’t know exactly what to expect since it was my first year attending. To sum it up into two words, I’d say it was “beyond fabulous”!
What made this event so fabulous is first of all, the brunch was held at the beautiful Frill Clothing. Yes I’m talking about the same Frill that made a deal on Shark Tank. If you’re not familiar, Frill primarily targets sorority women who are trying to purchase stylish, more affordable outfits for recruitment, and has also expanded into jewelry, accessories and home decor.
Second, I was beyond excited to see everyone again. It had been almost three months since I’d seen most of the group and even longer for a few of the girls. Being in the presence of such a widely talented and stylish group of women is always extremely inspiring, uplifting and powerful. Everyone’s blog is unique, and I enjoy the camaraderie on so many levels.
The bloggers in attendance were:
The meal prep for the brunch was coordinated, which was a brilliant idea. Everyone signed up to bring one item and we were provided with inspiration pictures and links to help create a cohesive look. It worked out perfectly as you can see from the gorgeous photos… and since I’m speaking of photos, all of the photography in this blog was beautifully captured by Chris Nieto of Nieto Photography. He’s extremely talented and I’m so impressed with his work!
After catching up while enjoying our delicious brunch, we mingled, talked about blogger stuff, and also enjoyed the blush crush cocktails, which were extremely tasteful I might add.
Before departing we were all given these absolutely gorgeous swag bags handwritten with love from Write Nice by Betty! Her work which is very unique. I was truly amazed at the talent displayed and love that went into making these gift bags.

A manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. Material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed & forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the mold cavity. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts, from the smallest component like small Lego accessories, to entire body panels of cars.
Injection molding is used to create many things such as wire spools, packaging, electrical connectors, bottle caps, pocket combs, and most other plastic products available today. Injection molding is the most common method of manufacturing parts. It is ideal for producing high volumes of the same object.
Some advantages of injection molding are high production rates, repeatable high tolerances, the ability to use a wide range of materials, low labor cost, minimal scrap losses & little need to finish parts after molding.
- Utilizes a screw-type plunger to force molten plastic material into a mold cavity
- Produces a solid or open-ended shape that has conformed to the contour of the mold
- Uses thermoplastic or thermoset materials
- Produces apartitng line, sprue & gate marks
- Ejector pin marks are usually present
Tolerances & Surfaces:
Molding tolerance is a specified allowance on the deviation in parameters such as dimensions, weights, shapes, or angles, etc. To maximize control in setting tolerances there is usually a minimum & maximum limit on thickness, based on the process used. Surface finishes of two to four microinches or better can be obtained. Rough or pebbled surfaces are also possible.
Materials that are typically manufactured through compression molding include: Polyester fiberglass resin systems (SMC/BMC), DAP (short and long glass-filled), Epoxy (short & long glass-filled), & many grades of Phenolic.
In compression molding there are six important considerations that an engineer should keep in mind:
- Determining the proper amount of material.
- Determining the minimum amount of energy required to heat the material.
- Determining the minimum time required to heat the material.
- Determining the appropriate heating technique.
- Predicting the required force, to ensure that shot attains the proper shape.
- Designing the mold for rapid cooling after the material has been compressed into the mold
The use of thermoset plastic compounds characterizes this molding process from many of the other molding processes. These thermosets can be in either preform or granule shapes. Unlike some of the other processes, the materials are usually preheated & measured before molding. Inserts, usually metallic threaded studs or bushings, can also be molded with the plastic.
Transfer molding, like compression molding, is a process where the amount of molding material (thermoset plastic) is measured and inserted before the molding takes place. The molding material is preheated & loaded into a chamber known as the pot. A plunger is then used to force the material from the pot through channels known as a sprue and runner system into the mold cavities.
The mold remains closed as the material is inserted and is opened to release the part from the sprue and runner. The mold walls are heated to a temperature above the melting point of the mold material; this allows a faster flow of material through the cavities. The molds in both compression & transfer molding remain closed until the curing reaction within the material is complete. Ejector pins are usually incorporated into the design of the molding tool and are used to push the part from the mold once it has hardened. These types of molding are ideal for high production runs as they have short production cycles. Transfer molding, unlike compression molding uses a closed mold, so smaller tolerances and more intricate parts can be achieved. The fixed cost of the tooling in transfer molding is greater than in compression molding and as both methods produce waste material, whether it be flash or the material remaining in the sprue & runners, transfer molding is the more expensive process.
Transfer molding differs from compression molding in that in Transfer process the resin is inserted into the “closed” clamped mold (or tool) and the resin pressed into place by a transfer ram (plunger). In compression molding the compounds are placed into an “open” mold which is then closed to force the material into the cavity.

US actor Ernest Borgnine, whose bulldog appearance made him a natural for tough-guy roles in films like “The Wild Bunch” but won an Oscar for playing a sensitive loner in “Marty,” has died at the age of 95, his longtime publicist said.
Borgnine, who also starred as a maverick World War Two patrol-boat skipper in the popular 1960s television comedy “McHale’s Navy,” died in a hospital in Los Angeles where he had gone for a medical checkup earlier in the week.
With his gruff voice and gap-toothed leer, Borgnine was on the verge of being typecast early in his career. That followed a string of convincing bad-guy roles in “Bad Day at Black Rock” in 1955, “Johnny Guitar” in 1954 and 1953’s “From Here to Eternity,” in which his sadistic Sergeant Fatso terrorized and eventually killed Frank Sinatra’s character.
But Borgnine broke the stereotype with a rare leading-man role in 1955’s “Marty,” playing a warm-hearted New York butcher who lamented, “One fact I gotta face is that, whatever it is that women like, I ain’t got it.”
Critic Bosley Crowther described Borgnine’s Oscar-winning performance as “a beautiful blend of the crude and strangely gentle and sensitive.”
‘Gentle and sensitive’
Some critics hinted that Borgnine was a “Marty” in real life, but the actor, who was married five times, took exception by saying, “I’m no playboy, but I’m no dumb slob either.”
Much of Borgnine’s other work was as a character actor in more than 60 movies. They included “The Vikings” (1958), “The Flight of the Phoenix” (1965), “The Dirty Dozen” (1968), Sam Peckinpah’s “The Wild Bunch” (1969) and “The Poseidon Adventure” (1972).
He was born Ermes Effron Borgino in Hamden, Connecticut, and did not take up acting until after a 10-year hitch in the US Navy. “I just couldn’t see myself going into a factory where I saw these pasty-faced fellows walking in and walking out after stamping their cards,” Borgnine once said.
Using money he earned from the GI Bill, Borgnine studied at the Randall School of Dramatic Arts in Hartford and performed on stage for several years at a Virginia theater.
His first Hollywood job was a low-budget pirate picture, “China Corsair,” in 1951. After two more movies, he appeared on Broadway with Helen Hayes in “Mrs. McThing” in 1952.
In addition to his Academy Award as best actor, Borgnine’s work in “Marty” led to more sympathetic roles in such films as “Jubal” (1956), “The Best Things in Life Are Free” (1956) and “The Badlanders” (1958).
He returned to the sea on the big screen as a naval officer in “Torpedo Run” (1958) and, after a string of less successful movies, “McHale’s Navy” (1964), based on his TV series co-starring Tim Conway.
Borgnine’s 1964 marriage to singer-actress Ethel Merman barely lasted a month. He said it broke up because fans paid more attention to him than her during their honeymoon.
The longest of Borgnine’s five marriages was his last – to Tova Traesnaes, whom he married in 1973. Despite his rough looks, Borgnine appeared in ads touting the face-rejuvenating powers of beauty products from a company she started.

I’m a naturally curious human being.
I see a police car and I wonder who is being chased. I hear that someone got engaged and I’m curious about how he proposed. In general, I like to know what’s going on and why.
I’m sure I was one of those kids who continually asked her parents “why?” Why does our television set work? Why aren’t birds around in the wintertime? Where do people go when they die? I was full of questions.
But that didn’t make me an unusual child. I’m sure many parents are faced with a series of “why” questions throughout their child’s life. Often the answer is “because I said so.” Other times, “Just because.”
But lucky for me, I had parents who were willing to try to answer my questions whenever they could. (I think maybe after repeated questioning on the same subjects, they decided “just because” wasn’t going to work.)
But now that I’m grown up, my questions haven’t disappeared.
I have a college education, I’ve read the Bible and I’ve conversed with philosophers. But I still have questions.
Yes, many of you are thinking “Of course you have questions, you ask questions for a living.”
When was the U of O formed? What are the hours of Okoboji’s newest business? How did the debate team do last week? These are life’s simpler questions. You ask the right person and you get the answers.
But many times adult questions are more difficult to answer: Where did all of our ethical standards come from? Why do people have to die at Christmas time? What do people in general really want out of life? These aren’t simple childhood questions. And the answers are harder to find. And often the answers differ depending on the person.
So which way is right? I don’t know, it depends on the person you ask, I suppose.
Yes, there are clear cut answers for some of life’s questions. But often, the diversity of answers proves that sometimes, there really are no clear cut answers.
I watched a Santa movie earlier this week that ended with St. Nick deciding his naughty and nice categories were too clear cut. He decided that sometimes, life’s gray areas can’t be made black and white. And neither can the answers to many of life’s difficult questions.
Life isn’t clear cut. Life’s answers aren’t always available. But I’m realizing that part of life’s voyage is asking the hard to answer questions.
And that the answer sometimes really is “just because.”

We’ve talked a lot about some of the more unusual places people are choosing to get tattoos these days. From the knees to the nose and elbow, it’s almost as if tattoo aficionados are intentionally eschewing the traditional spots like the back and arms.
The ears are now becoming the new unusual spot to get inked. As with the other examples we’ve used, searching through social media results in hundreds, if not thousands of pictures of people choosing to get their ears tattooed. Most, if not all of these tattoos are done in the outer ear and often consist of intricate patterns or designs. You may also come across minimalist choices such as a trio of lines, for example.
As you might have already guessed, ear tattoos are perhaps best reserved for those capable of withstanding the amount of pain associated with such a thin, sensitive area. If you’re the adventurous type, however, it’s definitely an unconventional spot to get inked and it’s sure to draw some attention.

United Airlines’ third-quarter revenue
will be higher than it had expected due to strong summer travel demand, the airline said. Separately, United said it will end flights at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York unless it can expand operations at the congested airport. The airline said Wednesday that revenue will be 12 percent higher than in the same quarter of 2019, up from its previous projection of an 11 percent increase over prepandemic levels. Meanwhile, United also said it will suspend service at JFK Airport at the end of October unless federal regulators allow it to operate more flights to compete better against rivals such as Jetblue and American.

The blue line indicates a very poor choice for a road location because this location provides limited access to the entire tract. This road would more than likely be placed in a low wet area of the tract, raising concerns over ponding and rutting issues. It may also be located within the SMZ. This location would probably have significant impacts on water quality.
The yellow line would also be a poor location for a road. It provides greater access to the tract, but it crosses the stream twice and also uses drainages as part of the road system. This location could certainly have significant impacts on water quality.


India to send 224 athletes in Glasgow Commonwealth Games

Iraqi Documents Are Put on Web, and Search Is On
American intelligence agencies and presidential commissions long ago concluded that Saddam Hussein had no unconventional weapons and no substantive ties to Al Qaeda before the 2003 invasion.
But now, an unusual experiment in public access is giving anyone with a computer a chance to play intelligence analyst and second-guess the government.
Under pressure from Congressional Republicans, the director of national intelligence has begun a yearlong process of posting on the Web 48,000 boxes of Arabic-language Iraqi documents captured by American troops.
Less than two weeks into the project, and with only 600 out of possibly a million documents and video and audio files posted, some conservative bloggers are already asserting that the material undermines the official view.

Kane Brown delivered his last album in 2018 with his sophomore effort, Experiment. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart, serving as his first chart-topping project. Experiment also helped him win an American Music Award for Favorite Country Male Artist in 2019 as well as several nominations across a number of award shows. In the years since the album, the Tennesse native has stayed relatively low while appearing on only a handful of singles. Preparing his third EP for a release in the near future, Kane Brown returns with a new single.
Calling on Swae Lee and Khalid, the three artists join forces for “Be Like That.” The track, which is driven by a lightly strummed electric guitar and heavy bass kicks, finds Kane, Swae, and Khalid detailing the tug and pull struggles of their relationships. Beginning by shrugging off the bad parts of the relationship, the three artists find their balance by glancing over to the good that’s occurred in their love lives. The song also marks Kane Brown and Khalid’s second collaboration as they previously worked together on a remix of Khalid’s “Saturday Nights.”
“Be Like That” arrives as Kane Brown continues work on his third EP, following 2015’s Closer and 2016’s Chapter 1. His latest release also follows April’s “Cool Again.” Speaking on the EP in an interview with Taste Of Country, he revealed that there is no timetable for its release but that it is nearly complete.
Listen to “Be Like That” above.

Our Fae Farm Multiplayer Guide will tell you how Multiplayer works, how to set up a Multiplayer game, and what you can (and cannot) do in Multiplayer.
Fae Farm is a fun Farming RPG in its own right -- you can run around the world catching Critters, raising Animals, and Farming Crops. You can share the experience with your friends in Multiplayer, too, but there are some limitations -- read on to learn how Multiplayer works!
How to Play Fae Farm Multiplayer
- One player must host the game by clicking on the Multiplayer icon in the menu.
- The Host must then invite other players through Steam, their Phoenix Labs account, or their console's friend system.
- The other players can then join the game and you can play together.
How Fae Farm Multiplayer Works
Fae Farm Multiplayer is a little different than the usual game. Here are the important things you need to know about the online Multiplayer experience.
- There is a maximum of four players in a game.
- You cannot pause the game.
- Anyone joining a Host will have to create a new character.
- Players will get Wings and basic Tools based on the Host's progress.
- However, Tool Progression does not carry over. Even if the Host has Diamond Tools, any additional players joining will have to upgrade their Tools.
- All progress made is saved for joined characters as far as we can tell.
- Players will have to pick up any Decoration Recipes again.
- All activated Wayshrines on the Map are available to everyone.
- All activated Wayshrines in Dungeons are available to everyone.
- All players can access Storage.
- All players can harvest Animals.
- Gold Florins (Money) is shared between all players.
- Anyone can Sleep and end the day for everyone.
- Some, but not all, Quest progress is shared.
- Newly-joining players will not gain the House Coziness benefits until they have slept for at least 1 day.
- Players cannot join a game at will; they have to be invited.
- The Host can kick any player at any time if needed.
Unfortunately, there appear to be very few protections against griefing or stealing -- make sure you only invite people you trust into your Multiplayer games!
Thanks for reading our Fae Farm Multiplayer Guide. Take a look at our other guides below!

Who owns the rail trail corridor?
Beaufort Jasper Water Sewer Authority (BJWSA) acquired the railroad right-of-way from Port Royal, SC to Yemassee, SC in November 2009 for a cost of $3 million to use as a utility corridor. In January 2011, BJWSA granted a surface easement to Beaufort County to develop 13.6 miles of the corridor as a recreational trail.
Will all of the corridor be converted to a trail?
Not entirely. BJWSA granted Beaufort County an easement to develop 13.6 miles of the trail from Ribaut Road in Port Royal to the Whale Branch River. The County will focus first on the development of this section. BJWSA granted an 11.8 mile easement to the Trust for Natural Wildlife Habitats to preserve as a natural wildlife corridor between the Whale Branch River and the Town of Yemassee. Extension of the trail north of the Whale Branch River will require coordination with the Trust. The rail corridor south of Ribaut Road in the Town of Port Royal is owned by the South Carolina Ports Authority and is for sale along with the other parcels that make up the 51 acre Port property. The Development Agreement between the Town and the Ports Authority stipulates the development of a new street and trail along the trail corridor that would extend the trail to the site of the former port. Click here for a map.
Is the trail open to the public?
The trail is currently closed to the public. BJWSA is in the process of removing the rails, ties, and ballast and has heavy equipment along the corridor. In addition, the bridges along the trail are hazardous because they lack decking and railings.
How do I, as a Beaufort resident, get involved in this project?
Monitor this website for updated information. The rail trail development process is still in it’s infancy. Listed below are some initial steps that are underway:
- The City of Beaufort plans to host a series of public workshops (charettes) to be held toward the end of September. As a result of these meetings, we hope to get a visual master plan for the trail, identify where the trail heads are; address the issue of appropriate material and usage of the trails; and gain more avocates for the trail.
- The Northern Beaufort County Regional Plan Implementation Committee voted on 6/24/2011, to support the formation of a rail trail steering committee. The proposal was to form a steering committee consisting of a representative from the County, City, and Town, Beaufort Jasper Water and Sewer Authority, and an avocacy group member and/or neighborhood participant.

Team Reigate & Banstead scooped gold, silver and bronze in the P&G Surrey Youth Games last weekend (18 and 19 June).
Around 180 children from the length and breadth of the borough participated in over a dozen sports and more than 20 events in the annual Olympic-style sports competition which took place at the world class Surrey Sports Park in Guildford. They competed against teams from the other 10 Surrey boroughs and districts in sports including hockey, table tennis, netball, boccia and cricket, among others, winning gold in five events, silver in four and one bronze.
Congratulating the Reigate & Banstead team, Cllr Ros Mill, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Wellbeing, said: “Our young people have shown a fantastic team spirit participating in the P&G Surrey Youth Games, each competing to the very best of their ability. I am enormously proud of their hard work and their amazing achievements. We take part each year in the P&G Surrey Youth Games as it is a way for children, regardless of their sporting background, to try out a new sport for free with expert coaching. Winning so many medals is a wonderful bonus!”
The results were a particular highlight for Reigate & Banstead’s hockey teams who were trained by volunteers from Horley Hockey Club. The teams were made up children and young people from Banstead, Reigate and Horley, drawn from three different clubs and 10 different schools. Some children had no prior experience of hockey before coming to the first training session. They won gold in both the boys’ and the girls’ events.
Free training offered by Reigate & Banstead Borough Council and supported by Better, Osborne, Esure and Total Gas began after Easter and was taken up by around 350 children in Reigate & Banstead. Local sports clubs provided the training which has taken place after school and at weekends over the past two months.
“I’m very grateful to our coaches and local clubs who did an excellent job of training the children and to our sponsors. I know that parents were impressed with the calm and supportive approach of the coaches at the Games, making sure that all the children had the chance to play,” said Cllr Mill.
