One Of Many Potentially Great ProductsThis is my first purchase of a Joe Grooming product. As a guy, I keep my hair short (aka buzzed), so I don't have to worry about it much. Lately, as I've grown it out a little, I found I needed a new hair product for styling. I was so tired of the super silicon-like gels that turned my hair into ice picks and razor blades, and was diffused the moment I ran my hand through my hair, let along all the white dust it created in the process. This Joe Grooming Cream gives me the subtle sheen and hold I was looking for. Also, it is a conditioning cream--great for my scalp in this dry CO air. I know that J.G. makes other creams and gels, so I'm sure you can find one that matches your need. Great product!Nov 2, 2011Graham / COHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair

DisappointingThis product just did not work for me. I have long, fine hair, but a lot of it and it tends to be a little on the dry side since it is chemically treated. This product left my hair feeling dry, somewhat frizzy and unmanageable. I also think the fragrance is much more suited to guys.May 10, 2011Nikki / Philadelphia, PAHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Not Just For Men!My hairdresser introduced me to this product a few years ago and now both my husband and I are addicted! I can only find it on line so I buy it in large quantities so we are never without. I have curly hair and my husband has fine, thinning hair and its great for each of us.Oct 30, 2007Anonymous / MassachusettsHAIR TYPECurly Hair

A mistrial was declared in the public corruption case of former Massachusetts Treasurer Tim Cahill. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Now Attorney General Martha Coakley has a dilemma decision to make. Coakley says she doesn't know whether she will retry the case:
"Don't know yet. We'll review our options going forward."
Even though the jury could not agree on a verdict, Coakley says she stands by the charges:
"It was neither frivolous nor arbitrary for us to bring this case and ask a jury to decide it."
Some political figures around the state have questioned whether Coakley wasted time, energy and scarce, taxpayer resources to bring criminal charges against Cahill in the first place.
Coakley is refusing to disclose how much money was spent trying the case…
"I don't think you can put a price tag on investigating cases where the evidence at least brought to us and the ethics commission raised serious questions about public integrity."
Coakley prosecuted Cahill under a new ethics law passed in the aftermath of SEVERAL political scandals. Coakley says it's too early to determine whether the law is too complicated or goes too far. She says Public Corruption is always hard to prove, but it's her duty to try when the evidence warrants it.

This Just In ...
Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
UPDATE: Did Franklin run up the score against South Milwaukee?
Previously on This Just In…
November 8, 2010: "Did
The update. Today I received the following e-mail shortly after I posted my weekly POO Award blog:
Hello Kevin,
You may recall that last year, I commented in some depth on your blog regarding the playoff game between
While I still believe in what I saw, I wanted to offer an apology to any
Up 49 - 7 at the half against an overmatched Thomas More team, SMHS left their starting running back in to score a touchdown with the second-half running clock in full force. While I was not at the game in person, the box score made this clear as day.
To me, this is an egregious example of poor sportsmanship and I have, earlier this week, already directed a letter of complaint to the school principal. Her response was, if anything, even more saddening-- citing the need to leave the kid in so he could somehow impress recruiters and build a college resume. (My own brother recruited for D-III and FBS schools himself, and I happen to know that an extra touchdown scored against flimsy competition won't make any college coach's eyes light up.)
I'm extremely disappointed that this attitude of "winning at all costs", putting "us" first and the other guys a distant second, seems to have taken the place of good sportsmanship and building character-- helping boys turn into men of honor and discipline-- throughout high school football.
My own alma mater, where I played and coached, has proven themselves no better than anyone else in this regard. Lest I seem a hypocrite after last year, I would like you and other
Please keep doing what you do. Even in a small way, I hope that your shining a light on poor sportsmanship will help shame some of these "win-first" people into playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

South Milwaukee defeated Thomas More last weekend, 68-6.

Skip to comments.FReeper Canteen ~ Fabulous FRiday
Posted on 03/29/2012 6:05:28 PM PDT by beachn4fun
For many years, Allen Funts Candid Camera television program delighted viewers by using a hidden camera to catch the often hilarious reactions of ordinary people to unexpected situations. Their approach, according to his son Peter was: We believe people are wonderful, and were out to confirm it. Peter feels the perspective of some other similar shows is that people are stupid, and were going to find ways to underscore that.
His comments point out that our view of people determines how we treat them.
The citizens of Jericho were offended when Jesus went to the home of Zacchaeus the tax collector. When they saw it, they all complained, saying, He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner (Luke 19:7). Yet, when Zacchaeus had a deep change of heart (v.8), Jesus told him, Today salvation has come to this house . . . for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost (vv.9-10).
My friend Bob Horner says, When we see people as losers, we treat them with contempt. When we see them as lost, we treat them with compassion.
Jesus doesnt see losers, only lost people He loves. When we look at others, who do we see?
Read: Luke 19:1-10

The Kingsford® $40K Challenge
The $40k Insider
Red Hot Smokers Fire off a Win in the $40K Kingsford Challenge
Jun 12, 2012
The Red Hot Smokers aren't new to big wins and thanks to Kingsford they won even bigger in Memphis! All year long in 2012, Kingsford is helping winners win bigger by offering bonus prize money to the top finishers at each of the Kingsford $40K Challenge events.
The Red Hot Smokers, a team comprised of Wayne and Linda Booth, Tommy Leggett and Allison Butterick, started competing about 14 years ago. In that time they've been tearing up the circuit with win after win. And Wayne's (not so) secret weapon? Kingsford charcoal.
"We've always used Kingsford," said Wayne Booth. "It's because of the flavor and longer lasting heat. You can have the best rubs and the best sauce injections possible. But you have got to have heat to cook it. If you don't have heat, it doesn't make a difference what you do to the meat."
Wayne says this year was The Red Hot Smokers' 12th time competing at Memphis in May, and he has placed in 9 of those years, including one Grand Champion and a Shoulder win this year… all using Kingsford.
"We've been cooking shoulder for a long time," said Booth of his Shoulder category win. "We've always been consistent. We're a humble, small family team. We really enjoy cooking, but we also love winning!"
In addition to Kingsford, the team boasts having the next generation of Red Hot Smokers waiting in the wings to take over the team.
"Allison, our granddaughter, will take over for us someday," said Booth of his 7-year-old granddaughter. "She just loves to cook and loves being on the team."
Booth says the best advice he could give his granddaughter or anyone getting ready to get started in competition barbecue is to be prepared. Booth's instructions include a healthy amount of attention on your heat and maximizing the flavor of your meat.
"Put flavor on the top with rubs," explained Booth. "Plus make sure to put flavor on the inside with injections. When they bite in, they'll taste it through. Keep an eye on your heat, make sure your internal temperature is where you want it to be."
Booth went on to say that maximizing the flavor doesn't end with rubs and injections, mixing fruit woods and Kingsford charcoal also add a layer of flavor.
"Our mixture is Kingsford charcoal and various fruit woods," said Booth. "Hickory is great for steak or brisket but for pork I like Applewood. It's simple; just soak the Applewood in a mixture of tap water and apple juice until it is perfectly primed. That Applewood mixed with Kingsford gives it a smooth savory flavor that's not as strong as other smokes."
It's simple, right? Well maybe not. But Wayne and Linda Booth sure make it look that way.

New Favorite Shoes
"These shoes are super comfy and so far seem to hold up well. They survived me walking around in some serious mud and came out just fine. The only issue was cleaning, it took forever to get all the mud off of/out of the shoes, because there are these almost vent deals in the bottoms that let mud squelch up into the shoe, which made cleaning them interesting. Overall I do love these shoes."

Super Comfy!!!!
"I've been looking for a sandal like these for a long time! I absolutely love the fit! I wear a size 10 and the problem I was having with a lot of other brands was this style of shoe looking really big and bulky in the front. These are not big and bulky at all! I also love the adjustable strap in the back."

Actually surprised at how comfortable they are
"I just got these shoes, and after wearing them a day, am really surprised at how comfortable they are on the inside. There is an extra padding at the toe so even with the higher heel, they are not uncomfortable to walk in. I really like the variation of browns, and the gold accent, as well as the purple sole, offers a nice twist to the shoe."

The On-Premise Silver Lining: When Restaurants Get Wine Right
If you love wine, you've probably had at least one memorably bad wine experience in a restaurant. The reasons for poor wine service are, by now, painfully well known to most – unknowledgeable staff, a wine list that's an afterthought, high price mark-ups, and other offenses. And, while bashing restaurant wine service seems to be in vogue, I'd like to switch it up and shine a floodlight on three restaurants that are getting it right.

Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said the Rebels came away light in the injury department in last night's 41-23 loss at Auburn.
There's been some traffic in the training room today. He didn't elaborate and said everyone who played last night should be ready for this week and the Kentucky game Saturday at 2:30.
The Rebels were shut out 14-0 in the third quarter last night. If you're scoring at home that's 61-0 in the last three games, and Nutt said he hasn't experienced this level of third-quarter dysfunction at any other point in his career.
It's been a point of emphasis in practice and in meetings. Last night he tried something different with warm-ups on the field with 6 minutes still left in the halftime break.
"What I want is to see the first half duplicated for 60 minutes," he said. "I thought we played an excellent ballgame, but that was for 30 minutes. It's got to be a full game."
Nutt said he was pleased with the effort in the first half. The question is how long with a team that isn't experiencing success continue to play hard and give effort?
So far that hasn't been a problem in games or in practice, Nutt said.
The Rebels have now lost 11 straight SEC games. They haven't won since beating Kentucky last year in Oxford, and they travel to Kentucky this week.
Kentucky and Ole Miss are joined by Tennessee as the three SEC teams that haven't won a conference game.
"I'm not so much worried about them as I am us," Nutt said. "We're doing everything we can, starting today, to head that way and get a victory.

Founded in 1935 as Bell Aircraft Corporation, Bell Helicopter has set the pace for the industry. Besides being the first to obtain certification for a commercial helicopter, Bell has delivered more than 35,000 aircraft around the world. John L Garrison, president and CEO, Bell Helicopter talks to HT on growth opportunities in India. Excerpts:
How important is the Indian market for you?
We are the leader with a 42% marketshare. There are 107 bell aircraft operating in India. I would be disappointed if we don't see double-digit type percentage growth in India.
India's airline market has grown fast, but helicopters have lagged behind. Why?
There is need for a change in the regulatory environment. If you look at the emergency medical services in India, you have to take pre-clearance before take-off and that defeats the purpose of an emergency helicopter. We also need infrastructure, helipads, heliports.
What is your strategy going to be in India?
Jubilant Enpro has been our independent representative for 16 years. They have done a great job and we are very pleased with our partners in India. There are tremendous opportunities in tourism sector and emergency medical services. We will build our supplier base and are talking to companies

Motion, location and light years form the moment.
To know what reality is for the moment we must understand that all of us presently on the earth can never know more than what is within this described moment that started with one singular action, one singular force that Hawkins believes gave movement to everything, the Big Bang.
We can never follow all of motion that preceded us even in terms of one light year, let alone millions of light years before us. What we view within our moment is history and only splinters of it and not in appropriate sequence if the term sequence is appropriate.
Certain patterns of motion developed and continue to evolve and are observable in their short distances. The outer edges of the earliest of the Big Bang are the furthest edges of space occupied by the debris of the Initial Bang. Those outer edges if observable are ancient history. And if anything came before that, so what?
They are of no value to us in understanding our reachable reality, only background information. The outer edge of our reality is a short distance that will never be reached but in view and imagination only and yet as its distance spreads in movement.
The imaged Big Bang as it is called only satisfies our mind's need for beginnings. We cannot imagine the distant edges as endings as they were the beginnings. Perhaps we can find the ending in the Big Bang itself, where it already has or will cease to release further energy and stuff. It would be interesting to also search for the location of its original and specific occurrence as well as its mere spread.

Love these shoes
"These shoes are really comfortable and I get compliments every time I wear them. They look great with jeans and skirts. They do run a little narrow but that was perfect for me cause I have skinny feet. Great purchase!!!"

"This shoe is a great deal! I have a wide feet, but size 8 is fine (I am usually 8.5). I get compliments wearing it, and it goes well with every outfits! I recommend buying it in store, and not rely on the previous comments. You know, we have different foot anatomy. Some says the black strap is a little bit loose, well not for me! So overall? This sandals is so cute. I haven't tried walking with for a long time, but for the comfort part? It is okay."

The only thing is they only come in whole sizes. I wear a 6 1/2 so i just ordered the 7 and they just have a little room, not that much, worked out great........LOVE LOVE"

I mentioned a few months ago that I'm a perv for Olivia Munn and Joel Kinnaman. They were my go-to New Adult book couple. I see them in all the sex. And now I have to stop. Because it's over. According to US Weekly it's been over for a while. And everything is fine.
It is NOT fine.
They were hot and I got hot thinking about them, how is that fine?
Next for her I choose Jake Gyllenhaal then. Is that fine? As for him…

|In response to Re: shower valves
: I will be remodeling a bath shortly and want to put in a new shower valve before the marble wall is done. I was told to get a Moen valve (and not the Kohler with the beautiful finish I want)because they are the only ones that are reliable for more than a few years.Is the plumbing supply store just saying that to get a sale, is it because the Moens are easier to install..or is it true? I certainly don't want to have to rip open a marble wall in a few years for a problem with a valve from an "iffy" company.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Elmo Mayor Kirk Rasmussen opened the recent town council meeting by welcoming everyone, and informing them of updates on the fire station project.
He stated that the soil sample results are expected very soon, following which they will be given to the architect. The architect is on schedule and waiting for the soil sample results. These results will then be passed to the structural engineer.
Mayor Rasmussen also stated that he will be talking with Keith Burnett from the Permanent Community Impact Board this week. They will discuss the details of the grant and loan for the fire station project.
Three business licenses were approved during the council meeting. The first was for a photography business and the second was for a window tinting/auto detailing business. The final business license was for an in home dog kennel business.
Mayor Rasmussen informed the council that Jamie Jensen has assisted Elmo with a grant application to the state historical society for improvements for the cemetery. A letter has been signed stating that Elmo Town is still interested in the grant.
Chad and Cassie Lake addressed the council with a concern about the cemetery. The Lakes proposed to open and close any graves that are needed with a rented backhoe. In the past, the town has depended on Cleveland workers for the service, and the Lakes feel it is in Elmo's best interest to take on that responsibility. "We feel we can do this work more efficiently for Elmo," said the Lakes. This action was approved by the Elmo Town Council.
Mayor Rasmussen stated he is still in the process of investigating payment for council members. "I have put together a plan where each council member would receive $20 a month for their efforts and attendance. This would add approximately 90 cents to each bill in town. With about 130 hook-ups, we can probably handle $20 each. This would be just a little added incentive for those serving Elmo," stated Mayor Rasmussen. He instructed the council to consider this idea for the next month and come prepared with a decision to the next city council meeting. If the council is in favor of this idea, a public hearing would need to be scheduled.
Mayor Rasmussen presented a portion of the public meeting training that is needed each month. "Our meetings will be recorded each month now, and this will be in addition to Delena's written record. We also are required to have printed agendas available at each meeting. You will notice on the agenda that an executive session is listed. New regulations state that a council cannot hold an executive session if it is not listed on the agenda, so we will add it to the agenda each month. One final thing is that if an item is not on the printed agenda, we cannot take action on it," concluded Mayor Rasmussen.
Councilman Clark Atwood announced an insurance rating inspection is coming. "Since Elmo's fire department split from Cleveland, we are required to have our own rating. An inspection is coming on Aug. 21 to do the inspection of our fire department. This will affect all property owners in Elmo as this rating is what sets their fire insurance premiums. The inspection will look at our firemen, their training, our equipment and other items. In addition, all the fire hydrants in Elmo will be tested," said Councilman Atwood.
Councilman Atwood also announced the fire department has received an $11,000 grant to purchase pagers, hoses, radios and other equipment for the fire department. This grant is coming from the state forestry department. He added he is very hopeful for another grant also.
Delena Fish, Elmo recorder, presented minutes from May and June for ratification. Due to not having a quorum during those months, the things that were decided needed to be ratified by the council. All previous decisions were approved and ratified.
Mayor Rasmussen announced the chip seal project on the town's streets would begin during the next few days. The next Elmo Town council meeting will be held Aug. 22 at 7:30 p.m.

I was busy, engrossed, focused on finishing the job I was doing. I heard the excited voice from the distance.
"MUM! MUM! MUM! I have to show you something really exciting! Come!"
It was my 4-year-old son. His voice was overflowing from extreme excitement. I heard this special eagerness in his voice but I was so engrossed on finishing what I was doing, I didn't process it right away. I heard it but I didn't listen.
Without turning around, I said, "Just a minute son. Just wait. I have to finish this."
He was quiet. He wasn't upset. He waited.
It was a good 5 minutes before I finished, and by then, my son had run back over to his dad.
I joined them. "Son, what did you want to show me?"
The climax of the excitement had past. The sparkle in his voice had faded into a glow. Son pointed to a nearby tree and said, "Dad and I, we saw cockatoos! Up in the tree."
I smiled, but I immediately felt, not so much guilt, but sadness. Especially when my husband recounted the amazing things the birds were doing and how much fun they were having together.
Why was this, a moment lost? You know, I don't pander to my children's every whim and desire. Nor do I believe I need to immediately respond to every interruption from my children for them to be emotionally stable. No. That is not what this is about. This was a moment lost because it was a moment worth investing in. And it's gone now.
I missed reinforcing the strength in the relationship between father and son.
"Did you and Dad see that? Together?"
I missed affirming the importance of looking around and noticing nature.
"It's amazing: all the wonderful things you can see, isn't it?"
I missed encouraging my son to live joyfully.
"I'm so glad you spotted that! Thank you for sharing it with me."
I missed a potential educational teaching moment.
"What sort of bird are they again? Maybe when we are home we can look it up in Miss 8's Australian Bird Watching Guide."
I missed being the first-person-I want-to-tell person.
How long will I be that someone in his life I wonder?
I missed seeing the excited sparkle in his eyes.
They are sapphire blue, and they look almost purple when he is excited.
I missed his wide I've-found-something smile.
Teeth showing. Mouth in a wide O.
I'm not beating myself up here — I've invested in many such moments in my parenting career before and I don't believe this missed moment will break everything we have — no; but I feel a little sad. Sad that I missed investing in that moment. Sad the moment, is now lost.
Being wise and investing in moments that count, I believe, creates a positive big picture over time, despite the ups and downs. What makes one moment worth investing in over others? All moments are precious but there are some I look for especially.
Moments that reinforce foundations and values
Moments that edify relationships
Moments of reconciliation after sadness or discipline
Moments of pure excitement
Poignant moments like this one
Moments that encourage creative thinking
Teachable moments
Just before bed moments
Moments after a great achievement
The moment I greet my kids when I pick them up from school
Trusting your gut moments like this one
Still moments of magic beauty
I miss golden moments like this one sometimes, and I'm sure it will happen again, but I'll continue learn from my mistakes as I strive to be wise in investing in the moments that matter most.
A moment lost. A lesson learned.

Disaster declared to handle flooding
Bonners Ferry, Idaho - City officials in Bonners Ferry signed a disaster declaration Tuesday to handle imminent flooding, as the Kootenai River crests above flood stage. The declaration is designed to protects property and people and requests the help of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for Boundary County, in effect until July 2nd. City officials cite heavy rain, the rise of the Kootenai River and the runoff from the Moyie River and the Yaak River downstream from the Libby Dam.
According to the declaration, there is "undercutting and damage to the levees protecting the area surrounding Bonners Ferry" and the city storm drains are backing up. The city is "unable to remove storm water from the downtown area without additional pumping resources." The city says its exceeding its ability to provide adequate flood-fighting efforts and levee repair. That's why the city has requested the help of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Follow the Money
May 29 2011 08:26AM
This is Anton Lander. The Edmonton Oilers have been waiting patiently for him to mature and prove himself at the highest levels. That accomplished, he will very likely receive strong consideration for a job on the NHL team this fall.
Like many Oiler fans I've been scouring the UFA list in search of a Brooks Laich to solve a problem on the big league roster. History tells us Edmonton is unlikely to acquire the top level free agents, and when they do the contract is an overpay and miles too long.
I think we're seeing "business as usual" from Steve Tambellini this spring and that will probably give way to an even younger roster come the fall. We entered the spring discussing Ryan Jones and his possible signing, but the contracts that have been handed out are to young drafted prospects about to embark on their North American pro careers, minor leaguers hoping to cash in on a strong 10-11 season, and NCAA kids.
Steve Tambellini and company have been active acquiring talent for the pro teams this spring. The contracts can tell you a lot: for instance, both Taylor Fedun and Tanner House below received nice bonus money and in the case of House a very good AHL salary. It's a kind of tell about how much value the organization places on the player, and sometimes offers a hint that other teams may have been interested in the player. Here's the list and projected role in the organization:
- March 8: D Tayler Fedun is signed from Princeton (NCAA). Puck mover gets a 2-year deal and is extremely likely to be part of the 11-12 OKC Barons. ($782,500 times 2 for NHL; $67,500 for AHL and $90,000 signing bonus for each season. They wanted him and gave out a nice contract).
- March 19: C Tanner House is signed from Maine (NCAA). House is the first of several recently signed prospects with a chance to play in the NHL in 2011-12. Why? He's described as a 2-way C who has FO skills and he adapted quickly to AHL level competition. A name to keep in mind, he probably starts in OKC but his resume matches an enormous team need. ($600,000 times 2 for NHL; $105,000 times 2 for AHL and a $100,000 signing bonus. They wanted him, too).
- March 30: G Olivier Roy is signed from Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL). The first draft pick signed this spring, Roy will probably spend time in both the ECHL and OKC in the coming season. The organization is apparently in search of at least one AHL option, but with Nikolai Khabibulin on the NHL roster an injury may not be far way. ($595,000 times three on an entry level NHL deal; $65,000 AHL and $50,000 times 3 for the signing bonus. Standard entry level deal).
- March 31: L Hunter Tremblay is signed from New Brunswick (CIS). Tremblay is a talented forward and more mature than a lot of kids who'll come to camp. He's probably slotted as an AHL only player, but it will be interesting to see if he can establish himself quickly in the minors. ($565,000 times 1 for NHL; $65,000 for AHL and a $40,000 signing bonus).
- April 1: C Mark Arcobello is signed from the OKC Barons (AHL). Showed well after a callup from Stockton, he certainly looks AHL only but signed a pretty rich contract if that's the case. ($615,000 times 2 years; $65,000 for AHL and a $90,000 times 2 signing bonus).
- April 13: R Tyler Pitlick is signed from Medicine Hat (WHL). Organization is extremely high on him, but a full AHL season is very likely for Pitlick. ($865,000 times 3 for entry level; $67,500 for AHL and $90,000 times three for signing bonus. I believe these contracts write themselves based on the current CBA, it's all about where you go in the draft).
- April 18: L Curtis Hamilton is signed from Saskatoon (WHL). Hamilton is (along with Pitlick and Marincin) highly regarded by the Oilers and will be a featured player in OKC. (Hamilton's contract is a little unusual; it's a three year entry level deal, but the salary increases by year: $715,000; $790,000 and $900,000. His cap hit is $80,000 less than Pitlick, though which falls in with draft position. $67,500 for AHL and $90,000 times three for signing bonus).
- April 21: R Cameron Abney is signed from Edmonton (WHL). Of all the kids signed this spring, Abney has the strongest chance of starting in the ECHL. He needs at-bats and fights, plus he needs to be able to learn to play at the pro level. A season in Stockton should help him. (Three year entry level deal, $580,000 times three years; $50,000 per year at AHL and $55,000 per year signing bonus).
- April 25: D Martin Marincin is signed from Prince George (WHL). He's probably the toughest player to project for the fall. A fast start had us thinking fast track, but he might benefit from another year in the WHL. Either way, he is a valued part of the future by the organization. (Three year entry level deal, $690,000 times 3. AHL is $67,500 and bonus is $90,000 times three. His NHL salary seems a little shy compared to Hamilton's).
- April 28: C Anton Lander is signed from Timra (SEL). Oilers are very high on him, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him break camp with the NHL team. Some time in OKC is likely the better plan, but the Oilers brass believes he's NHL ready. (Three year entry level based on his draft year, 2009. $840,000 times three, $67,500 AHL deal and $90,000 times three bonus).
- Biggest Bonus: $100,000--Tanner House (I believe the CBA dictates the signing bonus for drafted players).
- Biggest Surprise: A tie: Arcobello's contract implies there was interest from other teams. Is he more than an AHL player? Also, the difference between Hamilton's and Marincin's contracts doesn't jive for me.
- Most Likely signing to make the jump to the big club: Anton Lander. He's got a real chance. I think the Oilers would probably make room for him if he outplays an NHL center in camp.
- Best Long Shot prospect to make the Oilers this fall: Based on the bonuses, and the opportunity? Tanner House. Train hard, young man. Godspeed.
Lander is another "character" guy. He's also a center. Not sure how good he is on faceoffs. But, the character aspect is undisputed, in fact it's emphasized with this guy, and this organization can use as much of that as possible, whether it's in the AHL or on the Oilers. I'm looking forward to seeing him compete for a job in the pros, as a rookie.
@Team Hall
babchuk is a UFA this year, so i wouldn't trade for him.

The growth of the servo-driven press
Servo press sales have jumped in recent years--for a reason
Traditional mechanical presses remain dominant in industry, but sales of servo presses have gone into high gear in recent years. Controlling the press stroke turns out to have many advantages, and the technology's adopters are reaping the benefits.
A metal part from NUCAP, a global stamping supplier of automotive brake components, looks like a classic example of fineblanking, which produces blanks with machined-level precision. Thing is, the Toronto-based stamper didn't make the part with fineblanking. Instead, it was made via a proprietary process the company calls FineblankPlus™, which offers the accuracy of fineblanking with a lot less scrap (see Figure 1). The tooling setup uses components that allow for precision trimming and shaving, but this die set won't work on just any press; the manufacturer designed this tool for the servo-driven mechanical press.
The servo press remains a small portion of the overall stamping press market, but it's growing like no other equipment category in the sector. According to a capital equipment survey from the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association Intl., servo press spending projections for 2013 were almost triple what they were the previous year. The industry still spends far more on mechanical presses, but the servo press is catching up fast.
"Over the past three years, there's been a continuous interest in servo technology from the tier base," said Barry Lewalski, sales and product manager, stamping and cutting technology, at Schuler Incorporated, Canton, Mich. "Everybody seems to be catching on to the reasoning as to why servo is so important. Even in the larger tonnage ranges, 98 percent of everything we quote involves a servo press."
The industry's push toward metal with high strength-to-weight ratios has gotten manufacturing engineers thinking about the servo press's forming capabilities. Much of it boils down to the ability to control slide position and velocity—within microns.
"You can control the forming stroke," said Lewalski, "and because you can control the forming stroke, you can control the speed, velocity, and overall performance and efficiency of the operation."
Servo Press Basics
Instead of a flywheel, main motor, and clutch, a servo press uses a servomotor that in effect makes the slide a controllable axis (see Figure 2). In recent years pressmakers have offered different iterations, with different types of servos used in different places (see Figure 3). Whatever their specific design, all have approached the servo press design to overcome some inherent inefficiencies in the flywheel-clutch mechanical press.
In a traditional mechanical press, energy must be delivered from the flywheel through a clutch, down the connecting rods, which drive the ram that produces maximum tonnage at some point above bottom dead center. The main drive motor then has to get the flywheel back up to speed before the tool hits the material again. For this reason, the mechanical press's stroke can't be too slow, because the minimized speed of the flywheel won't be able to provide enough energy to produce the needed force to cut through and form the metal. A press with a servomotor, however, can deliver maximum torque at any speed.
During a November company event, Toshiharu Suganuma, SEYI's vice president of forming engineering, pointed to an image showing a stroke profile curve, illustrating the servo press's high torque capabilities. "The electrical current provides the energy of the operation," he said. "It's about providing low RPMs and high torque. You can support programmable operation of the slide motion."
The servo press is still a mechanical system and abides by a tonnage rating curve, so it cannot deliver full tonnage throughout the stroke, like a hydraulic press can. But a servomotor, unlike a flywheel, provides maximum torque almost immediately.
For years many smaller-tonnage servo presses have made their way to contract stampers serving aerospace, defense, and other high-tech sectors. In automotive, some OEMs—Toyota, for instance—have been using servo press technology for years. Now more automotive players are looking into the technology, especially as a way to form the high-strength materials that are becoming ever more common.
"Automotive is becoming a big driver. The industry is realizing the benefits of the technology," said Shrinivas Patil, product manager at Dayton, Ohio-based AIDA-America. "With high-strength steel in a standard mechanical press, you can have a lot of scrap and experience a lot of reverse tonnage, which is bad for the press and bad for the tool."
Benefits of Full Control
A servo press with a 7-in. stroke can efficiently form a part that may require only a 4-in. stroke. And within that stroke, the press slide can descend quickly; then move slowly the final quarter inch to make the form; and then return quickly to its 4-in. height, clearing the previously formed flanges.
"You're able to work with material, not force it," said Jim Landowski, vice president of the press technology division at Komatsu America Industries, Rolling Meadows, Ill.
This has especially benefited forming of high-strength material, which traditionally required the press to slow its strokes per minute. The servo has changed the situation. The motor speeds the slide to, say, 30 SPM prior to making contact with the material. Once the tool makes contact, the motor slows the slide, slowing the forming speed. As soon as the form is complete, the slide quickly returns. Sources added that the slower-moving slide (when the tool is in contact with the workpiece) causes less lateral movement of the punch and die. This improves cutting precision and prolongs tool life.
A programmable stroke also allows stampers to run different kinds of operations. "People like the versatility of being able to run a long-stroke operation and a short-stroke operation in the same press—in a servo press," said Lee Ellard, national sales manager at Stamtec, Manchester, Tenn. "This gives people a lot more flexibility when it comes to the dies they can run in one press."
Pressmakers have designed their systems to offer various capabilities at the bottom of the stroke, including dwell and pendulum actions. These features allow stampers to control the flow of metal, allowing the workpiece to settle. The dwell also makes it easier to incorporate in-die functions like staking and welding.
The control also allows for greater control when heating the die, as in specialized applications. At SEYI's November event, a representative pointed to a slide showing how a servo press can tackle traditionally difficult workpieces. "The press stops for a few seconds for heating the die, in order to form materials such as magnesium, titanium, and aluminum alloys."
As sources explained, controlling the slide motion affects friction, which in turn affects the amount of heat that goes into the part and die. Less heat input can mean longer tool life and, for the right application, different lubrication requirements. "Depending on the application, by slowing the slide at the point of contact, friction is reduced, and you may be able to change from a high-viscosity lubrication to a water-soluble one," Landowski said. All this helps eliminate or simplify downstream processes. An in-die operation may eliminate downstream welding or assembly. A change in lubrication can simplify downstream parts cleaning.
Such slide programmability allows stampers to reduce the number of forming steps. A progressive die made for a traditional mechanical press might not need so many stations in a servo-driven machine—though, as sources emphasized, such benefits depend greatly on the application.
In a sense, the servo press has brought stampers into the digital realm. Digital control of the slide and die height creates consistency between presses. A die can be designed once for one press, and then used in another servo press anywhere. "You no longer have to spend weeks or months tweaking the tooling," said Landowski.
Personnel can "dial in" setups. On certain systems, linear scales and other gauges feed information back in real time, so a press can, say, react quickly to changes in die height. In certain setups, linear scales can measure die height position with every stroke, plus or minus microns.
"Heat from the stamping operation can cause the frame to stretch slightly, so the die height can change throughout the day," Landowski said. "So if there's a change in die height, a signal is sent back to the system to make a slide adjustment."
Consider a typical punching operation where the first portion of the material thickness cuts and then at a certain point breaks away, creating the snap-through load. Controlling the speed of the slide through the punching process—for example, strategically slowing the slide motion just before it touches the metal—helps limit snap-through load, so the press and tooling absorb less shock.
Press and Tool as a System
Of course, this alone wasn't what allowed NUCAP to develp its FineblankPlus process. It also has proprietary tooling. The process requires a system—both the servo-driven mechanical press and the tooling—to work.
Servo presses certainly can use tools designed for a mechanical press, but those tools may not be able to take full advantage of the servo press's fully controllable stroke and tighter tolerances. "I've gone through this for years," Landowski said. "These presses have revolutionized the stamping process, but tool builders are still learning how to use the technology."
This is perhaps one reason that NUCAP, with tool design as its core competency, has had such success. The stamper has roots in fineblanking going back to the 1970s.
"Fineblanking is a great technology," said Montu Khokhar, vice president of global business development. "It can give you a part that is almost of machined-level quality. But it reached its limit as far as its capability, because you were limited by its speed of blanking, thickness, and the amount of scrap you needed to leave around the cut edges.
"I can't go into detail about how exactly we make this," he added. "But I can tell you about the final result of the process. We can achieve a perfect, 90-degree cut surface. We scrap less material, and we can run much faster than fineblanking. And we eliminate [part edge] rollover as well.
"We developed this process around the servo press," he added. "It was a combination of controlling the cutting speed at specific points throughout the stroke and of utilizing the gas springs in the die, as well as controlling the holding pressures and cutting parameters."
The company, which specializes in brake components for automotive, now has 10 gap-frame servo presses in three plants, and it has plans to continue installing more presses. Regardless, Khokhar emphasized that the process works not just because of the press, and not just because of the tooling, but because both the press and tooling work together so well.

"These shoes are very classy. I have been looking for nice, simple and and classy gold shoes to go along with a dress I have got for my niece's wedding. These shoes are just the right style I had in mind. The arc support is well done and I was able to stand on them for quite some time!"
