1. Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method, system, and product for monitoring of wearing surface layer thickness.
2. Related Art
Because tires are the only points of contact between a vehicle and the road, tires are one of the most crucial safety components in the vehicle, for all types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles, off-road vehicles, airplanes, motorcycles, bicycles, mobile industrial and construction equipment, and the like. Tires are responsible for how the vehicle responds to the driving and steering. To optimize the effects of the tires on the road and therefore, to provide a safety behavior of the vehicle, the inflation pressure of the tires must be kept within the range given by the manufacturer. Tires that are driven under-inflated generate excessively high heat levels that can weaken the tire to the point of failure. At high speed, a rapidly deflating tire can cause loss of vehicle control. An over-inflated tire will result in harsh ride quality and will cause uneven tire wear. Furthermore, operating a vehicle with over- or under-inflated tires increases both fuel consumption and the exhaust emissions produced by the vehicle.
Tires are designed to grip the road, allowing the vehicle to start, stop and go around corners safely in any weather. Proper treads allow for normal handling of a vehicle and help prevent skidding and hydroplaning. The treads that accomplishes this wear out over time. As a consequence, the distance that is required to stop a vehicle increase with the wear of tires. A recent series of tests conducted for The British Rubber Manufacturers Association by MIRA has shown that the stopping distance significantly increases and cornering performance deteriorates when tire tread depth falls below 3 mm, even if the legal minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm (generally, the tire tread depth is comprised between 7 and 9 mm). So, it is extremely important to check the tire treads for signs of wear.
Generally, tires are manufactured with a "wear bar" that tells when the remaining tread depth is less than the minimum legally required e.g., 1.6 mm. When this wear bar can be seen, the tire must be replaced. Other known marking devices disappear when the wear of the treads becomes critical. However, a main drawback of these systems is that wear of tires must be done wheel after wheel, when the vehicle is stopped, according to a manual or visual analysis that is often painful due to the location of the wheels in the vehicle wings.
In other known methods, acoustic wear indicators emit a sound signal by coming into contact with the ground when the tires reach a wear threshold level. An automatic monitoring is done by using a detector consisting of a microphone placed beneath the vehicle and a processing unit switches on an indicator placed in the instrument panel. If such solution allows an automatic control of the tire wear, it closely depends upon the vehicle environment and driving conditions and therefore, it could be complex to implement.
The present invention provides a product comprising a wearing surface layer and at least one Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tag within a thickness of the wearing surface layer, the wearing surface layer being an outermost surface layer of the product, the wearing surface layer adapted to be worn away such that a thickness of the wearing surface layer is reduced as the product is being used.
The present invention provides a method of wear level determination, comprising:
receiving data from at least one Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tag within a thickness of a wearing surface layer of each product of at least one product, the wearing surface layer of each product being an outermost surface layer of said each product, the wearing surface layer of said each product adapted to be worn away such that the thickness of the wearing surface layer is reduced as said each product is being used; and
determining a measure of wear of the wearing surface layer of each product of the least one product from said received data.
The present invention remedies the shortcomings of the prior art described supra.
The present invention provides method and system for monitoring tire wear and tire wear balance. According to the present invention, Radio Frequency IDentifications (RFIDs) are embedded within the tire tread of the tire to monitor, at different distances from the periphery of the tire (i.e., at different depths within the thickness of the tread). As long as the tire wear increases, the thickness of the rubber decreases and RFIDs are removed. By monitoring the remaining RFIDs and analyzing their signatures, one can determine tire wear. Likewise, a plurality of RFIDs can be distributed along the tire width, at approximately equivalent distance from the tire periphery, to monitor tire wear balance.
The present invention provides a method and system for wireless wear monitoring of tire tread and other surfaces, the tires or surfaces being in movement or not.
The present invention provides a method and system for wireless wear monitoring of tire tread and other surfaces that is independent of the tire or surface environment.
The present invention provides a method and system for wireless wear monitoring of tire tread and other surfaces that do not required any learning phase.
The present invention provides a product having a wearing surface layer (e.g., tire tread of a tire, the tire adapted to be used in a vehicle) comprising at least one RFID tag characterizing a wear level of said wearing surface layer, said at least one RFID tag being embedded within the thickness of the wearing surface layer.
The wearing surface layer of the object is an outermost surface layer of the object. The thickness of the wearing surface layer (i.e., the thickness of the outermost surface layer) extends through the entire depth of the wearing surface layer and is oriented in a direction that is perpendicular to an exposed outermost surface of the surface layer of the object. The wearing surface layer has a characteristic of being worn away such that its thickness is reduced as the product is being used. As an example wherein the product is a tire, the wearing surface layer of the tire is the tire tread of the tire, and the thickness of the wearing surface layer of the tire is the thickness (i.e., the entire depth) of the tire tread of the tire. Thus, the thickness of the wearing surface layer is dynamically changing by being reduced as the product is being used.
In the description herein, such terms as "tire wear" and "wear level" of a tire are each a measure of a portion, fraction, percentage, etc. of the original tire tread that has been worn away since the tire tread was brand new. More generally, a measure of wear of a wearing surface layer is a measure of a portion, fraction, percentage, etc. of the original thickness of the wearing surface layer that has been worn away since the wearing surface layer was brand new.
The present invention provides a method for determining the wear level of a product comprising at least one wearing surface layer, wherein the said method comprises for each of said wearing surface layer: reading the data of the RFID tags embedded within said wearing surface layer; and determining the surface wear from said read data.
The present invention provides a method and system for monitoring wear of tire tread or other surfaces using embedded radio frequency transponders or Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) tags, generically referred to as RFIDs in the description herein.
The core of any RFID system is the 'Tag' or 'Transponder', which can be attached to or embedded within objects, wherein data can be stored. An RFID reader, generically referred to as reader in the following description, sends out a radio frequency signal to the tag that broadcasts back its stored data to the reader. The system works basically as two separate antennas, one on the RFID and the other on the reader. The read data can either be transmitted directly to another system like a host computer through standard interfaces, or it can be stored in a portable reader and later uploaded to the computer for data processing. An RFID tag system works effectively in environments with excessive dirt, dust, moisture, and/or poor visibility. It generally overcomes the limitations of other automatic identification approaches.
Several kinds of RFID are currently available. For example, passive RFIDs do not require a battery for RF transmission since generally, the passive RFIDs are powered by the reader using an induction mechanism (an electromagnetic field is emitted by the reader antenna and received by an antenna located on the RFID). This power is used by the RFID to transmit a signal back to the reader, carrying the data stored in the RFID. Active RFIDs comprise a battery to transmit a signal to a reader. A signal is emitted at a predefined interval or transmit only when addressed by a reader.
When a passive RFID is to be read, the reader sends out a power pulse (e.g., a 134.2 KHz power pulse) to the RFID antenna. The magnetic field generated is 'collected' by the antenna in the RFID that is tuned to the same frequency. This received energy is rectified and stored on a small capacitor within the RFID. When the power pulse has finished, the RFID immediately transmits back its data, using the energy stored within its capacitor as its power source. Generally, 128 bits, including error detection information, are transmitted over a period of 20 ms. This data is picked up by the receiving antenna and decoded by the reader. Once all the data has been transmitted, the storage capacitor is discharged, resetting the RFID to make it ready for the next read cycle. The period between transmission pulses is known as the 'sync time' and lasts between 20 ms and 50 ms depending on the system setup. The transmission technique used between the RFID and the reader is Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) with transmissions generally comprised between 124.2 kHz and 134.2 kHz. This approach has comparatively good resistance to noise while also being very cost effective to implement. Many applications require RFID attached to objects be read while the vehicle is traveling (i.e., moving) at specific speeds by a readout antenna. With large antennas designed for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI), it is possible to read successfully data at read speeds of 65 m/s (i.e., 234 km/H).
RFIDs can be read-only, write-once, or read-write. A read-only RFID comprises a read-only memory that is loaded during manufacturing process. Its content can not be modified. The write-once RFIDs differ from the read-only RFIDs in that they can be programmed by the end-user, with the required data (e.g., part number or serial number). The read-write RFIDs allow for full read-write capability, allowing a user to update information stored in a tag as often as possible in the limit of the memory technology. Generally, the number of write cycles is limited to about 500,000 while the number of read cycles is not limited. A detail technical analysis of RFID is disclosed, e.g., in RFID (McGraw-Hill Networking Professional) by Steven Shepard, edition Hardcover.
In a first embodiment of the present invention, the tire tread or surface to monitor comprises at least one RFID corresponding to at least one wear threshold. The wear level is given by the presence or absence of this at least one RFID. If several RFIDs are embedded within the tire tread or surface to monitor, the data contained in each of them must be different so that the presence of each RFID can be detected.
Inserting RFIDs within the tire rubber can be done during manufacturing of the tire. However, in an embodiment, the RFIDs are inserted later (i.e., after manufacturing of the tire), to avoid any manufacturing constraints such as high pressure and temperature, and to optimize RFID positioning accuracy. Therefore, inserting an RFID in less than few square millimeters or even less than one square millimeter within the tire rubber may use a needle that is inserted in the tire at the right depth within the thickness of the tire tread such that the RFID is left in place when the needle is removed.
To detect the presence and absence of RFIDs within tires, one or several readers can be used. The reader(s) can be installed within the vehicle, or in a mobile system that is moved near each tire to be tested, or in a fixed installation (e.g., in a garage). If a single reader is used to monitor several tires, the RFIDs embedded within these several tires must store different data so that each RFID can be uniquely identified.
The use of RFID technology presents several advantages. Firstly, the tire wear can be monitored: when the vehicle is moving or when it is stopped; when the tires are mounted on wheels or not; and when the wheels are mounted on the vehicle or not. Likewise, the tire wear can be monitored in most of environmental conditions such as weather conditions and electromagnetic conditions. Secondly, the monitoring system can be easily implemented on most of the vehicle and does not require any learning phase.
The vehicle 300 schematically shown on
Since each reader is close to the tire that it monitors, the power of the reading signal can be set so as to activating only the RFIDs located in a close range (e.g., less than 0.5 m) avoiding ambiguity that could results from reading RFIDs of the other tires or any other RFIDs. Therefore, such solution avoids the need of identifying the tires to monitor.
An algorithm used to determine the wear level of the tires is shown in
After having emitted a reading signal, the reader checks the presence of RFIDs (steps 400 and 405). If no RFID is detected, a warning signal is transmitted to the user to indicate an absence of the tire or to indicate that the tire must be replaced as soon as possible since the wear limit has been reached (step 410). The warning signal can take several forms (e.g., sound, color LED). If at least one RFID is detected, the reader, or its associated computing unit, determines the number n of RFIDs detected using a standard anti-collision algorithm (step 415). Then, the tire wear TW is determined by comparing the number n of RFIDs still embedded within the tire with the number N of RFIDs that were embedded in the tire when the tire was brand new (step 420). For example, a measure of wear of the tire tread is the tire wear TW which can be estimated in accordance with Equation (1).
TW=(N−n)/N (1)
The number N may be stored, for example, in the reader memory 425. The tire wear may be displayed on a standard display or by means of LEDs, may be stored for further use, or may be used for processing (step 430).
If a single reader is used to monitor several tires, each tire can be checked sequentially as illustrated in the algorithm depicted on
TW(i)=(N(i)−n(i))/N(i) (2)
The value N(i) can be stored in the reader memory 465. If the tire wear is equal to one (step 470), then the tire having index i does not comprise any more RFIDs and so must be changed as soon as possible. In such case, a warning may be transmitted to the user by any means of (e.g., light or sound). If the tire wear TW(i) differs from one, then TW(i) is displayed on a standard display or by means of LEDs, is stored for further use, or is used for processing (step 480). Then, the index i is incremented by one (step 485) and a test is performed (step 490) to determine whether or not the value of the index i is equal to a value I representing the number of tires to monitor. Value I can also be stored in the reader memory 465. If the value of index i equals I and therefore does not correspond to a tire, then i is reset to zero (step 450) and the first tire is checked again (steps 455 to 490). Else in step 490, if the value of index i is less than I (corresponding to a tire), then the tire having the index i is checked (steps 455 to 490).
Alternatively, the data contains in the RFIDs provides an indication of the tire wear. For example, such data can be a wear percentage value, a value representing the distance between the RFID and the bottom of the grooves, a value representing the distance between the RFID and the of the tire periphery (i.e., exterior surface of the tire tread) when the tire was brand new, etc. For example, considering the tire illustrated on
Wd=255�(Td−1.6)/(9−1.6) (3)
In such case, the tire wear is determined by selecting the smaller wear percentage value, or the greater tire grooves depth value, among all the values extracted from data read in the detected RFIDs. As described above, the data can also comprise a tire identifier that can be used when a single reader monitors several tires. Therefore, considering the previous example, one can conclude that tire wear is less than 66% or that tire tread thickness is at least equal to 3 mm when reading the data from RFIDs 210 and 215.
In a second embodiment of the present invention, each tire comprises a set of RFIDs, embedded in the tire at different distances from the periphery of the tire (i.e., at different depths within the thickness of the tread or, equivalently, at different distances from the exterior surface of the tire tread), which may be according to a linear (i.e., spatially uniform) distribution, and storing data comprising ordered and continuous values of 1, 2, . . . , 6 corresponding to the rank of the RFID when the tire is brand new. The minimal value (e.g., one), is set close to the periphery while the greater value is positioned at the greater distance from the periphery.
For the example of
The algorithms presented on
N=maxj(V(j)) (4)
Likewise, considering that values stored in the RFIDs are expressed as V(i,j), where i is the index corresponding to the tire i, and j is the index corresponding to the rank of the RFIDs within the tire then,
N(i)=maxj(V(i,j)) (5)
In a third embodiment of the present invention, a particular RFID (e.g., the RFID that is located at the greatest distance from the periphery of the tire; i.e., the maximum distance from the exterior surface of the tire tread) is used to store additional information. Firstly, this additional information is the number of RFIDs that were embedded within the tire when it was brand new. In such case, it is not necessary to store the number of RFIDs in the reader memory as mentioned in the first embodiment, nor to store particular values in the RFIDs as disclosed in the second embodiment. In the third embodiment, the algorithms presented on
In a fourth embodiment of the present invention, several RFIDs are distributed along the tire width, at approximately the same distance from the tire periphery, so as to control wear balance along the tire width. The tire width is oriented perpendicular to the tire thickness and perpendicular to the opposite sides of the tire.
In the example given on
Let {TW} denote TW(0), . . . , TW(imax−1). Thus {TW} represents a set of tire wear for the imax RFID sets in the tire. If the tire wear TW(i) has been evaluated for each RFID tire set i (i=0, 1, . . . , imax−1)), a further test is performed in step 745 to determine if the maximum tire wear difference F({TW}) among the imax RFID tire sets is greater than a predetermined threshold T; i.e., if F({TW})>T. The tire wear difference F({TW}) is a measure of the tire wear balance along the tire width. If F({TW})>T, then a warning is transmitted to the user (step 750). The threshold T can be stored, for example, in the reader memory 715, as discussed supra. The function F({TW}) may be represented, for example, according to Equation (6):
F({TW})=maxj,k(abs(TW(j)−TW(k)) (6)
corresponding to the maximum difference in tire wear between two RFID sets of the imax RFID sets in the tire, wherein said two RFID sets are identified by the indexes j and k in Equation (6).
The mean tire wear of {TW} is computed according to the function M({TW}) that is either displayed, used for processing, or stored for future processing (step 755), and the monitoring cycle is repeated beginning at step 700, as shown. The function M({TW}) may be represented, for example, according to Equation (7):
M({TW})=Σi(TW(i))/imax (7)
In a fifth embodiment of the present invention, a particular RFID that is analogous to the particular RFID 507 in
Table 900, depicted on
A method to determine the number of sets of RFIDs having approximately equal abscissas is illustrated on the algorithm depicted of
The functions used to determine the tire wear and the tire wear balance may be adapted to the spatial distribution of the RFIDs. For example, care should be taken if the distribution of the RFIDs along the Y axis is nonlinear (i.e., not spatially uniform), as shown on
TW(i)=(YNmax(RFID(i))−Ymax(RFID(i)))/YNmax(RFID(i)) (8)
wherein YNmax(RFID(i)) represents the maximum ordinate of the RFIDs of set i when considering all the RFIDs of this set; i.e., the RFIDs of set i embedded within the tire when it was brand new. Ymax(RFID(i)) represents the maximum ordinate of the RFIDs of set i when considering the RFIDs of this set at a given time.
In a sixth embodiment, one of the embedded RFIDs, such as the special RFID, comprises a read-write RFID, the writable memory of this RFID being used to store the history of the tire wear i.e., the time and/or mileage at which each, or some, RFID has(have) been detached from the tire. Such feature allows, in particular, optimization of the tire management of a fleet of vehicles.
In a further embodiment, the writable part of the RFID is used to record all the events concerning the tire such as pressure variation or change of wheel position, using the same mechanism as described above. Each time a new event is detected, the new event is written in the RFID for further processing.
In order to satisfy local and specific requirements, a person skilled in the art may apply to the solution described above many modifications and alterations, all of which are included within the scope the present invention.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Caroline Miller (women's soccer) and Jarmere Jenkins(men's tennis) were honored as Virginia's top female and male athletes for the 2012-13 academic year at UVa's annual awards dinner on Wednesday (May 1) at John Paul Jones Arena. Miller received the IMP Award as the top female athlete and Jenkins garnered the WINA Award as the top male athlete.
The 2012 ACC Offensive Player of the Year, Miller set single-season school records with 20 goals and 47 points this season. The conference leader in goals and points, Miller was a 2012 NSCAA first-team All-American and became the first Cavalier to be named a finalist for the Hermann Trophy, the nation's top individual women's soccer award.
The Rockville, Md., native ended her season on a school-record eight-game goal-scoring streak and was named first-team All-ACC for the second consecutive season as well as being selected to the ACC All-Tournament team when Virginia won the 2012 ACC Championship. Miller ended her career with 45 goals and 109 points, both ranking second in school history. She was selected 10th overall by the Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League and is currently playing her rookie season with the club.
Jenkins has led the Virginia men's tennis team to the most successful era in school history. Over the past four years, the Atlanta, Ga., native and four-time All-ACC selection has guided the Cavaliers to four ACC Championships, three ITA National Team Indoor Championships and two NCAA runner-up finishes. The 2012 ACC Player of the Year, Jenkins has posted 132 career singles wins (third in school history) and 101 career doubles wins (10th in school history) heading into this year's NCAA Championships. He has participated in the NCAA Singles Championship and NCAA Doubles Championship in each of the last three seasons, earning All-American honors in singles and doubles in both 2012 and 2013.
In November, Jenkins won the ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championship singles title, becoming the fifth Cavalier to win one of college tennis' three major individual tournaments. Last month, Jenkins climbed to the No. 1 spot in both the ITA singles and doubles rankings, becoming just the third player in the last decade to be simultaneously No. 1 in singles and doubles while playing for the nation's top-ranked team, joining former Cavalier Somdev Devvarman(2008) and Georgia's John Isner (2007).
Keith VanDerBeek, former associate athletics director for business operations, earned the Bus Male Memorial Service Award for his years of service to the athletics department. VanDerBeek retired from UVa on March 1 after 28 years of service. He planned, organized, directed and evaluated the business operations of all UVa athletics department activities. VanDerBeek also managed the business operations staff, information systems and operating budget. VanDerBeek also served as the department's liaison to the University's audit, budget, financial administration and procurement offices.
Matt Snyder (Lewistown, Pa.) of the wrestling team and Sarah Cowburn (Worcestershire, England) of the women's rowing team received Virginia's ACC Scholar-Athlete Awards. Softball player Melanie Mitchell (White Plains, Md.) earned the Susan J. Grossman Memorial Award in recognition of outstanding service to student-athletes and contributions to the Student-Athlete Mentor Program.
Phoebe Willis (Fredericksburg, Va.) of the field hockey team earned the Ernest H. Ern, Jr., Award for outstanding contributions to student life at Virginia, while teammate Elly Buckley (Scarborough Perth, Australia) was the recipient of the Ralph Sampson Scholarship Award. Joe Spisak (Boiling Springs, Pa.) of the wrestling team received the Virginia Athletics Department's Distinguished Student-Athlete Scholarship Award.

Jared King (Radford, Va.) of the baseball team received the Craig Fielder Memorial Award for overcoming adversity and Simone Egwu (Odenton, Md.) of the women's basketball team earned the Life Skills Scholarship Award.
Johnny Carpenter (Great Falls, Va.) of the men's basketball team was the recipient of the Bob Goodman Memorial Award for his service to Virginia athletics as a team manager and Emily Cleveland (Woodbridge, Va.) of the baseball, football and wrestling programs received the Tim Abbott Memorial Award presented to the student assistant trainer most dedicated to and possessing empathy for the student-athletes.
Virginia's ACC Top VI Award recipients included Simone Egwu (Odenton, Md., women's basketball), Matt Fortin (West Chester, Pa., football), Melanie Mitchell (White Plains, Md., softball), Matt Murray (Saratoga, Calif., men's swimming and diving), Matt Snyder (Lewistown, Pa., wrestling) and Phoebe Willis (Fredericksburg, Va., field hockey).

Four surprising trends from Running USA's May 6th report.
- The industry's pace is slowing
(It might pay off to plan a slightly more modest budget for upcoming races.)
- There are more race choices than ever before
(Better have smart marketing, smooth race registration, and a stellar race experience.)
- The most popular races go the distance
5Ks most popular, then half-marathons, then 10Ks; decline in obstacle race attendance.)

Why Masters Runners Should Try Longer Training Cycles.
Before he made the 2004 Olympic team in the marathon, Meb Keflezighi followed a typical elite's weekly schedule. He did his longest run of the week on Sundays, an interval session on Tuesdays, and a tempo run on Fridays.
But 12 years later, in his preparation for the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials, Keflezighi's weekly schedule was anything but typical. In fact, he didn't have a weekly schedule. Instead, he trained on a nine-day cycle. In each cycle, he did his three mainstays—long run, intervals, tempo run—but he took two recovery days after each. more

I purchased an organic cotton robe [offered here as 'women's organic cotton knitted bathrobe] for my mother possibly 15 years ago from Whole Foods—and it was expensive then! This robe was worn, loved & recently disintegrated. I Googled organic cotton knit robes [which retail for $80], found & made my first Overstock purchase. After my purchase, they sent me a subsequent 'you might like this...' email and I called Overstock & actually spoke to a VERY friendly person from U.S.A. [yeah!]. My initial purchase was 1 robe for $60, THIS offer was TWO robes for $44—they GLADLY exchanged my purchase AND not only applied my '1st purchase' coupon/discount of 12% retroactively, but also 'points/credit' I amassed from my initial purchase w/o so much as a grumble! And, oh yeah...FREE SHIPPING! The result is an extremely happy consumer & I LOVE THE ROBE[s]! So, not only was I THRILLED to receive 1 robe [of the SAME weight, make, quality], I got one for me—a robe that I was certain I would not ever pay $80 for myself! Now, about the robe: • One is bright, pure-as-the-driven-snow white, the other a soft, natural, unbleached white. • The belt is attached [across the back] so you never have to go searching for it post-laundry & is wide and very flattering—the others make me look [and feel] like a bound sausage [ha!]. • The fabric is FABULOUS!!! WITHOUT FLAW! I STRONGLY recommend you to snatch these up for future gifting [Christmas, B'Day, his&hers anniversary/wedding, college-bound, new mom who might need two, etc...] for today's price of $38!!!! You will save $142 from full-on retail! Monogram these bad boys & REALLY impress—you should have saved more than enough to do so! I'm an artist & bleached, then [re]dyed the first one I gifted my Mum [after it was splashed w/bleach] with in an attempt to 'extend its life'—which it did for approx 5 more years] & will possibly dye mine turquoise [NOT w/Rit, dye...purchase fabric dye @ Joanne's for less than $3!]. These take the dye BEAUTIFULLY so you could literally dye [tie-dye!!!] them someone's fave colour to match the bathroom/bedroom/dorm room and/or embellish as you wish—or not. This is a FAB product either way & I'm LUUUUUUUV'N Overstock! Have had a great shopping experience from A-Z!

I, like many, was trying to finding a perfect replacement for my 10-yr-old terrycloth towel robe. I am very happy with this purchase. I like that it's terrycloth both inside and out (not just one sided). It keeps me warm and dry. I am most impressed with the fit. I am a tall and slender female, and the S/M is just big enough to be comfortable, but very easy to move around in. It is the perfect weight. A couple months after I purchased this a friend gave me an expensive spa version from another company. It is terrycloth on only the inside, is such a terrible fit I can't move around in it, and is way too heavy for my comfort. I threw hers away and kept this one. The one downside is that strings do come off of it. I foresee needing to re-sew the seam of one of the arms in the future. But it's so comfortable I can't complain.
You have plenty of big, fluffy towels to keep you warm when you hit the bathroom's cold tile floor after a shower. But haven't you forgotten something? Staying cozy after you have dried off requires a bathrobe to wear when you really need to warm up. A luxurious bathrobe can be a particularly great addition to your morning or evening shower or simply a soft piece of clothing to wrap up in on a lazy weekend. Still not convinced you need to buy one? Here are five more reasons you'll want to make sure you have a robe in your bathroom. Read More

PaintCare Inc.
PaintCare Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established to represent paint manufacturers (paint producers) to plan and operate paint stewardship programs in the United States in those states that pass paint stewardship laws.
PaintCare was created by the American Coatings Association, a membership-based trade association of the paint manufacturing industry. Working with state and local government stakeholders, ACA passed the first paint stewardship law in the United States in Oregon in 2009. This legislation resulted in a pilot program for an industry-led program to manage postconsumer (leftover) paint. Since then, seven more states and the District of Columbia have passed paint stewardship laws similar to the one in Oregon, and the program in Oregon is no longer a pilot program; legislation passed in 2013 made the Oregon pilot program into a permanent one.
PaintCare has programs in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maine, Minnesota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont and is planning a program for the District of Columbia. We expect similar legislation to be introduced in several other states in the next few years. Prior to PaintCare, the best options for households to recycle or dispose of unwanted paint were government-run household hazardous waste (HHW) facilities and special one-day "round-up" events with limited days, hours and locations. In states with PaintCare, many new paint drop-off locations are established. Most PaintCare locations are at paint retailers who volunteer to take back paint. These retailers take back paint during regular business hours making paint recycling and disposal much more convenient for the public.
In parts of the United States where PaintCare has programs and where people were previously instructed to dry out old latex paint and put it in the trash, we now encourage people to take it to a PaintCare drop-off site so we can sort it and recycle it. Postconsumer paint can be collected for reuse, recycling, energy recovery, or safe disposal, but doing so requires public awareness and a convenient and effective infrastructure that exceeds local government budgets and capacity in many parts of the country. The paint manufacturing industry supported the laws passed in these eight states and will support additional legislation because these laws enable the paint industry to implement a collection program by providing a level playing field among manufacturers and retailers.
These laws also provide a sustainable financing system and an anti-trust exemption for activities required to run a successful program. The program is funded through fees on each container of architectural paint sold in states with paint stewardship programs. Budgets and fees are set on a state-by-state basis. So far these fees have been the same in each state with a program: 35 cents, 75 cents or $1.60 per container, depending on the container size.
American Coatings Association
The American Coatings Association (ACA) is a non-profit industry trade association advancing the needs of the paint and coatings industry through advocacy and programs that support environmental protection, product stewardship, health, safety, and the advancement of science and technology.
Product Stewardship Institute
The Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. (PSI) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the health and environmental impacts of consumer products. Founded in 2000, PSI brings together key stakeholders with varying interests to develop product end-of-life solutions in a collaborative manner, with a focus on having manufacturers assume primary financial and managerial responsibility. With a robust membership base of 47 state governments and 250 local governments, as well as partnerships with over 90 companies, organizations, and non-U.S. governments, PSI advances both voluntary programs and legislation to promote industry-led product stewardship initiatives.

Where can I take my leftover paint?
In PaintCare States, there is probably a drop-off site near you. Use our Site Locator to find sites in your area. In other states, our locator will list your nearest local household hazardous waste program.
What are the fees?
PaintCare Fees are applied to the purchase price of paint in every PaintCare State. Currently, the fees are the same in all states and they are based on the size of the container as follows:
|Half pint or smaller
|Larger than half pint to smaller than 1 gallon
|1 gallon
|Larger than 1 gallon up to 5 gallons
How are fees calculated ?
Fees are set to cover the cost of a fully operating program on a state-by-state basis. First, PaintCare estimates the total expenses to run the program in each state. Next, we estimate the annual paint sales in each state for each size container. Next we divide the estimated total expenses of the program by the number of containers to be sold in the state ─ taking into account each size container. Since PaintCare is a non-profit organization, the fees may be decreased in the future if they were set at a level higher than what is needed to cover expenses, or fees may be increased if they were set too low and do not cover expenses.
Does it cost me to take back paint?
No, there is no charge for dropping off your paint.
Do I get my fee back? Is it a deposit?
No, the fee is not a deposit. Fees are used entirely to cover the expenses of running the program and not given back as a deposit for the return of paint or empty paint cans.
Do all retailers take back paint?
No. Retailers who are serving as PaintCare drop-off sites are volunteers. Not all stores have enough storage space or staff to be drop-off sites. Typically, about twenty percent of paint retailers in any state participate. If you know of a store near you that would like to be a PaintCare drop-off site, ask the manager to contact PaintCare. We're always interested in adding more drop-off sites.
What happens to the paint?
The paint you drop off is packed into larger containers (boxes or drums) by the staff at the drop-off sites. One of PaintCare's hauling companies picks up the paint and takes it to their facility for sorting by type. PaintCare manages the paint according to a policy of "highest, best use." Our goal is to recycle as much as possible. If the paint is not recyclable into new paint, we find the next best use for it. Latex paint and other water-based products are separated from oil-based paint and other solvent-based products. Most of the oil-based paint is then taken to a cement plant where it is blended into a fuel and burned to recover the energy value. Most of the better latex paint (paint that is not rusty, molding or spoiled) is sent to recycling companies and reprocessed into new paint in standard pre-tinted colors. Some latex paint is used to make other products or used for biodegradation projects at landfills. Very little paint is sent to a landfill (about 1-4%). Overall about 1-2% of the paint we receive is simply reused. Some paint is nearly new and in excellent condition and is given away "as is" at some household hazardous waste programs that partner with PaintCare and have reuse programs or "swap shops." Non-profit ReStores (such as those operated by Habitat for Humanity) that serve as PaintCare drop-off sites also screen out some of the usable paint and sell it in their store.

When talking performance i will tell you these headers are awesome. After install which wasn't super fast for me they definitively did my truck good. I noticed increased gas mileage and throw me in my seat increase in power. Awesome product and lifetime warranty:)

Took way longer to get siezed/ stripped bolts off old exhaust than full install of new. Sounds awesome, small burbles on a downshift. There's a kind of resonance hum at 1700 rpm and 2500 rpm which sound great when cruising. Was fun going for a drive when I had just taken the old exhaust off, but it sounds way better now with the Gibson muffler. For the price, this was the best deal I found! For a 2000 ford ranger btw

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia's revenues jumped 8.1 percent in January from the same month the year before.
State money managers reported on Tuesday that tax collections for the state fiscal year to date are up 8.1 percent, or $705 million.
January's revenue growth was led by an 8.6 percent increase in the individual income tax and a 1.2 percent boost in sales taxes.
Corporate income tax collections rose by 15.4 percent and motor fuel taxes increased by 15.7 percent.
Gov. Nathan Deal said the numbers show that Georgia is continuing its economic recovery. January marks the eighth straight month that revenues have risen following a long slide.

This is the second time we have ordered it and loved the product as compared to others which leaves white residual due to harsh powder this one is perfect.
This is my first experience with this product
Posted by newday on Feb 08, 2015
I have had severe soap allergies since childhood and learned the hard way that the residue left on dishes that have been washed in a dishwasher is enough to bring on inner problems. I normally use Seventh Generation but iherb was out so decided to try this. It's a bit too early to give a fair review. I don't believe as much residue was left after rinsing once but will come back and correct review if I like it more or find more evidence of residue. My dishes did appear clean with no spots.
does the job

Returned on 8th May after 1 week at Pavlo Napa for my partners birthday ( they brought a card,fruit & bottle of wine to our room on her birthday a really nice touch. A really good hotel in perfect location right on Sandy Bay beach. Weather was great for early May about 36-38 degs every day but believe it changed after we left ? The hotel cannot be faulted rooms big enough and clean also fresh towels everyday. The food was always hot and plenty of choices and generally caters for British taste full English breakfast available even did a roast beef & turkey carvery not only English though best beef stifado I have tasted ! This may change as the biggest number of guests by far are Russian who not the most pleasant people on this planet ! but just do your own thing. The animation team are really good Peter and especially Paul, Sue seems to be more with the children. All the staff are really helpfull and pleasant, animation team are from Slovakia and all bar staff from Hungary and if you take the time to speak to them they are all really nice intelligent people. Special thanks to Andrea & Adrianna at pool bar and main bar who speak perfect English and quite a few other languages and deserve better jobs somewhere in the world.. Would return without hesitation and looking to book next year as already booked for Turunc in Turkey for Sept. Dont have any worries about booking here, plenty of bars, supermarkets etc nearby but nice and quite far enough from the hassle of Ayia Napa look forward to next year !!
