Advances in automation broaden punching capabilities
How to automate your punching operation
Increasingly metal fabricators are turning to automated equipment to reduce production downtime and costs, streamline manufacturing, minimize material handling, and address a shortage of skilled labor. Automating punch press operations can range from adding a simple load/unload device to implementing a midlevel material handling system or lights-out production cell to robotics and full tower and storage capabilities. Deciding whether to add automation depends largely on the application.
Increasingly metal fabricators are turning to automated equipment to reduce punching production downtime and costs, streamline manufacturing, minimize material handling, and address a shortage of skilled labor.
In some parts of the world, low unemployment and high wages lead job shops and contract manufacturers to invest in capital equipment rather than in additional labor. Automation can help small subcontractors compete with larger fabricating operations. Automated equipment helps provide quick deliveries, competitive pricing, and add a production shift without investing in more labor.
Automated punch press operations can range from simple load/unload devices to robotic systems to lights-out production cells with full tower and material warehousing systems.
What's New in Punch Press Automation?
More Flexibility. Automation systems now have the versatility to change part programs automatically, giving the user the flexibility to schedule jobs that use different material sizes, thickness, and types. This allows the fabricator to punch small to medium-size batches efficiently.
Feed systems provide material storage/warehousing and are used to deliver material to the load station so that it can be handled by a loader or a robot. The feed system can deliver multiple pallets to a load system, with each pallet having a different material type, size, and thickness, thus providing flexibility for easy job changeover. The ability for job changeover makes these systems suitable for small-, medium-, and high-volume runs.
Smaller Footprint. Previous load/ unload material handling systems were flow-through systems with a loader on one side of the machine and an unloader on the opposite side.
The latest material handling systems have single-sided loading and unloading capabilities that require approximately 25 percent less floor space than flow-through systems, and without increasing cycle times (see Figure 1).
A punch press with a single-sided load/unload system can be combined with a material warehousing unit within the same footprint required for the punch press and a load/unload system (approximately 30 ft. by 20 ft.).
Expanded Role for Robotics. Robotics is playing a larger role in punch press automation. A robotic material handling system converts the punch press into a freestanding, lights-out production cell. The machine and robot are integrated to maximize punch press productivity (see Figure 2). The robotic system loads full-size sheets and automatically retrieves and stacks individual punched parts with dimensions up to 60 in. by 120 in. (1,500 mm by 3,000 mm).
Fabricators can use robotic material handling technology to feed a secondary operation such as forming or laser cutting to complete or nearly complete manufacturing processes.
Reduced Cost. Punching equipment manufacturers have worked to cost-reduce automation technology so that systems are application-appropriate and priced for small job shops as well as large-volume contract manufacturers.
The latest advances in motion control and electronic technology—linear guide bearings and variable-frequency drives, for example—have been applied to automation to reduce costs.
Improved Reliability. Since the introduction of the first loader/unloader in the mid-1970s, new devices have improved the reliability of automated punch press systems significantly.
For example, a double-sheet detection device was developed to sense when the load device picks up more than one workpiece and to stop the cycle before damage is done to the equipment or workpiece.
In addition, sheet separation technology was developed to effectively separate sheets for automatic loading.
Both of these devices are engineered to improve the reliability of gauging blanks on the punching machine. Technical advancements in sensor technology and electronic control also have improved system reliability.
Improved reliability of automated punching systems has facilitated lights-out operation.
When Should I Consider Automation?
Deciding whether to add automation depends largely on the application. In the past, automation was relegated to high-volume production of like or similar parts, using a common material type, thickness, and size. While this remains the most obvious application, the automation advances mentioned previously make the technology feasible and effective for small to medium-size batch quantities and varying material types, thicknesses, and sizes.
Although no standard formula exists to cost-justify automation because requirements vary depending on the individual application, a few rules of thumb can be followed.
When Is Automation Suitable?
- Standard Product. A standard product in large volumes with a common material type, thickness, and size remains the most obvious application. A consistent range of material types, sizes, and thicknesses means that part changeover is minimal, involving only a change in part program and slight changes to punch press tooling.
- Large, Heavy Workpieces. Automated load/unload devices can handle large or heavy workpieces that cannot be managed easily in a manual operation or when a two-operator setup is needed. Today's punch presses feature larger tables than in the past and can accommodate nominal workpiece sizes up to 60 in. by 120 in. (1,500 mm by 3,000 mm).
- Material Utilization Maximization. Because automated systems accept large blank sizes, material can be better utilized to punch large workpieces. For example, a fabricator punching a 4-ft.-square blank could use an automated load/unload system to increase the blank size to 48 in. by 96 in. or 60 in. by 120 in. to nest more parts per blank. This is likely to improve productivity because more parts can be produced per workpiece, and material handling can be reduced.
- Labor Shortage. Freeing up machine operators from dedicated supervision of the equipment helps to address a skilled labor shortage or when labor is at a premium. Automating the material handling process provides an opportunity for operators to add value to other operations or expand their capabilities.
- Continuous, Uninterrupted Production. A material handling system combined with a high-speed punching machine allows a continuous, even work flow and a consistent level of productivity. Generally, load/unload systems complete a load cycle time in less than 25 seconds. While the punch press is punching, material can be replenished automatically for the next production run. Sheet handling time can be reduced as much as 80 percent.
- Lights-out Manufacturing. Automating punch press operations makes lights-out production feasible. Loading devices generally have material stack capacities of up to 10 in. (254 mm) and 10,000 pounds (4,545 kg), enhancing overall machine efficiency by providing high throughput volume without operator intervention. Marrying an automatic warehouse tower or multiple towers to a punch press with a large turret and tool capacity (for example, with up to 48 stations) further increases the autonomy of a system (see Figure 3). In addition, today's automated systems can be equipped with a paging system to alert personnel when the machine has faulted or stopped. Webcam technology allows shops to monitor lights-out operations via the Internet.
- Safety Improvements. Automating punching also improves worker safety.
When Is Automation Not Suitable?
- High Frequency of Changeovers. Regular changeovers of material type, size, and thickness without a fully automatic system with material warehousing and tower likely require too much setup time.
- Part Quality Improvement. Although automation does allow more consistent gauging of the punch press, and therefore reduces opportunity for operator error, it does not significantly improve part quality.
What Do I Need to Know to Implement Automation?
Automation generally requires extensive training. Operators new to automation often underestimate the amount of training that is required. Be prepared to reserve the time to learn the system. Implementation often is a trial-and-error process because it varies with the application and because variables such as material mechanics (workpiece size, material type) influence material handling equipment setup.
For example, operators need to learn where machine work clamps should be positioned for consistent material gauging; how loader vacuum cups should be placed to load material accurately; and how to set the location of the unload clamp to effectively offload workpieces, whether they are shake-a-parts or full blanks.
Set reasonable expectations. The higher the level of automation, the more the user often expects from the system. Automation systems do not offer endless flexibility, however. For instance, a robotic material handling system is limited in the amount of weight the robot can lift and the distance it can reach for picking up blanks or stacking parts.
Allow adequate time for implementation. Anticipate up to a six-month implementation period for initial sales discussions, system configuration, installation, training, and support for a fully automated system (load/unload device with feed system or warehouse, robotic material handling system, and production cell). Automating with a simple load/unload device is a less time-consuming process and takes from one to two months.
Last, keep the level of automation in proportion with the value (and capabilities) of the punch press.
Robotic Material Handling. A manufacturer of commercial and industrial doors replaced a stand-alone punching machine with a 30-ton turret punch press combined with a robotic material handling system. The robotic material handling system feeds blanks to the punch press and removes and stacks individual parts after punching is completed. The company now is able to use standard-sized blanks, nest more parts on each workpiece, and eliminate a shearing operation. The robotic material handling system eliminated the need for an operator, who was then reassigned to a different production task.
Load/Unload, Storage, Retrieval. A manufacturer of beverage-dispensing equipment replaced stand-alone punching and shearing equipment with punching and laser cutting equipment integrated with an automated load/unload system, sheet storage, and retrieval tower. Metal sheets measuring 4 ft. by 10 ft. are carried by crane and placed in the 12-shelf storage tower. A parts transfer system was programmed to select the appropriate sheets from the tower and deliver them for processing. The company estimates that the system is 50 percent more productive than the punching and shearing equipment it replaced.
Load/Unload, Lights-Out. A precision job shop produces 60 percent of its parts for the telecommunications industry. It uses three 20-ton punch presses with single-sided autoload systems to handle run quantities of up to 500 50-in. by 100-in. or 60-in. by 100-in. aluminum and stainless steel workpieces. The company says the autoload systems have improved the productivity of each machine by 40 percent and allow lights-out operation on long production runs. The company has eliminated shearing operations and now uses full-sized sheets for most production runs.

Photo download Problems
I tweet quite a bit (more than I should). I like to tweet photos that I download in Chrome and from Reddit News, but I've run into some problems lately. Whenever I go to tweet the photo it says "tweet failed to send". I can usually get around this by cropping the photo and then tweeting it again. This isn't the only time I have problems with downloaded photos though. When I go to to send pictures to friends with iOS devices they receive the message "One or more of the message components have been deleted by MMS Adaption. Either the message was too large or the components were unsuitable for your handset". Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Social Model of disabilityThe Australia Council embraces the Social Model of disability:
'Disability' results from the interaction between persons with impairment, conditions or illnesses and the environmental and attitudinal barriers they face. Such impairments, conditions or illnesses may be permanent, temporary, intermittent or imputed, and include those that are physical, sensory, psychosocial, neurological, medical or intellectual.The Social Model of disability distinguishes between the impairment of the person (the condition, illness or loss/lack of function) and disability (the barriers present in society). These barriers are seen as being the disabling factors which prevent or limit opportunities. Disability may be permanent or temporary, and is often not visible. Mental health is included in this definition.
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability, 2006
The term 'disability' can also include deaf or hard of hearing people. The Deaf community may not always identify as having disability or impairment, and may define themselves as a culturally and linguistically diverse group due to their use of Auslan (Australian Sign Language).
This information is also available for download in doc, rtf and pdf formats. This information will also form the basis of a captioned video with Auslan interpretation.

The 6 Best Ways to Treat Acute Back Pain
Dr. Sharon Orrange - February 16, 2016
Only a third of people who have acute back pain see their doctor. In some ways this is good news—it implies that most improve on their own. If you have new onset back pain, (that you've been experiencing for less than 4 weeks), here some OTC and prescription medication options that can help you.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS). You will see more improvement of your symptoms after 1 week of taking NSAIDS than taking nothing. See More

Is It Safe to Take Tylenol (Acetaminophen) with Advil or Motrin (Ibuprofen)?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - July 21, 2015
Yes, you can take them together, and they even work better in combination than separately. Several large studies have shown that ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) together work well to relieve pain, with few side effects. In fact, for many things like dental pain, they work better than many of the opioid-containing pain meds (like Vicodin or Norco).
Why is the combination safe?
Acetaminophen is cleared by the liver, while ibuprofen is cleared by the kidneys. See More
Is Ibuprofen Bad for My Heart? What You Need to Know About NSAIDs
Dr. Sharon Orrange - July 16, 2015
Update July 2015: The FDA is strengthening the existing black box warning on all prescription and over-the-counter NSAIDs. The current warning has been in place since 2005, but based on a recent review, the labeling will be updated with new information and stronger language. You should know that there is greater risk at higher doses, and there may be an increased risk of heart attack or stroke as early as the first weeks of use. See More
5 Common Medications That Can Kill
Dr. Sharon Orrange - July 13, 2015
You probably already know that many prescriptions have side effects. Most are mild—annoying issues like nausea or sleepiness that are inconvenient at worst. Others, however, can be deadly.
A very small number of medications are responsible for the majority of adverse side effects and hospitalizations from harmful drug reactions. How bad are these drugs? Between 2007 to 2009, almost 100,000 patients older than 65 had emergency hospitalizations for dangerous drug reactions, and almost 20,000 people die from prescription drug overdoses annually.

Is Celebrex Better Than Ibuprofen?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - October 29, 2014
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for the treatment of acute pain and chronic inflammatory and degenerative joint diseases. The long term use of NSAIDS is restricted by the occurrence of upper gastrointestinal (GI) complications such as ulcers and bleeding.
Celebrex is a more selective NSAID which is marketed as having fewer GI side effects and similar effectiveness. Celebrex is more expensive and prescription-only, but is it better than ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil)? Let's look. See More
Top Reasons Why NSAIDs Should Be the New Hydrocodone
Dr. Sharon Orrange - October 21, 2014
Pain is complex, so there is no "one pill fits all" treatment. Hydrocodone is the most prescribed medication in the United States, also marketed in combination with acetaminophen (Tylenol) under the brand names Vicodin, Norco and Lortab.
As of October 6, 2014, all drugs containing hydrocodone are schedule II drugs, and that means they are now much harder to get. There is no question this is a hassle for some patients and physicians but we (doctors) are too quick to prescribe it and for most pain, you don't really need hydrocodone. See More
Is Tylenol (Acetaminophen) Bad for Your Stomach?
Dr. Sharon Orrange - October 07, 2014
No. Acetaminophen is safe for the stomach. Don't confuse Tylenol (acetaminophen) with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like ibuprofen or Motrin.
Unlike NSAIDS, Tylenol is completely safe on the stomach and won't cause gastritis or ulcer disease.
You see, acetaminophen is not an anti-inflammatory, which can be a downside, but that means it does not inhibit prostaglandin and prostacyclin the way NSAIDS do. See More
Hangover Remedies That REALLY Work
Dr. Sharon Orrange - December 02, 2013
With the holidays comes more drinking. You will be buried in folk remedies for hangover but you want to know what has actually been studied, what actually works when compared to folks doing nothing (or taking a placebo).
First, know what does NOT cause a hangover. A hangover is not an electrolyte imbalance, not lactate, not ketones and, this will surprise you, markers of dehydration (e.g., vasopressin) are not significantly related to hangover severity. See More

Kevin Durant was only a few minutes away from making his adidas uk second ever NBA Finals appearance before the Golden State Warriors overcame the odds and completed an incredible comeback in the Western Conference Finals. Now we have to wait through an entire summer of free-agency speculation to see if KD will return to the Oklahoma City Thunder or start anew somewhere else. Nike Basketball is already preparing for KD s off-season by releasing the Nike KD 9 a game after the NBA Finals wrap things up. Dubbed the KD 9 Pre-Heat, the Wolf Grey Flyknit upper sports that woven construction for an extra lightweight breathable ride while Multi-Color accents and a Bright Crimson touch creates a truly unique debut. This is the pair that KD wore throughout most of the WCF. What do you think of the look? Be sure to check out more photos of Kevin Durant and Nike Basketball s latest after the break and know that you can adidas tubular x search for your size right now on eBay.
One of Nike s many successful cleat-to-casual soccer-inspired silhouettes is back in another strong look with this new Midnight Turquoise version of the Free Hypervenom II. The sleek and stylish football boot upper transformed into a Free-soled street shoe combines the dark turquoise upper with some subtle tonal Safari print on the midfoot, while silver speckles add another low-key dimension to the shoe on the midsole. Ready to be added to your summer sneaker rotation, the Free Hypervenom II is is arriving now at select Nike Sportswear suppliers like Sneaker Politics.
The Nike Bruin dates all the way back to the beginning of the brand in 1972, when it debuted alongside the Blazer mid as the low-top option for basketball. With a resurgence of new colorways this summer, the Bruin has actually been featured in its 1980s construction, with the original vulcanized sole unit swapped with the cupsole of the Tennis Classic. Dropping in white uppers various accent colors so far, the vintage Bruin is finally showing up in a black leather build later this month. Look for the black and white Bruins at select Nike Sportswear retailers on June 21st.
Fans of Nike s late-90s retro running slate will remember the Nike Zoom Spiridon from 1997 and have reason to get excited, as the running model adidas tubular runner is getting its second retro treatment ever this summer. The full-length Zoom cushioning on the midsole, mesh overlay, and oversized Swoosh branding made this pair a must-have and it s a bit odd that we haven t seen a retro release sooner. The classic Black/Sport Red colorway is first up on the retro slate. No word yet on a stateside release date, but European retailers will be getting this 1997 classic on July 16th.

So what do they call perennials that only produce foliage and blooms
every other year? A few years back, I was astounded to find a huge
rhizome of what turned out to be a hollyhock buried in my back yard
underneath grass that had been being mowed for years on end...I dug it
up and transplanted it to my garden...it was easily well over a foot
long and several inches thick. Now, safe from being mowed down, it lives
on but it only comes up every other year, blooms like mad and seeds
itself every where but the next year it is no where to be seen...Is this
thing just a freak of nature or do other plants have a growth pattern
similar to this?

Charter, the engineering company, yesterday agreed to a £471m cash offer from America's Lincoln Electric Holdings, to create the world's biggest welding equipment group.
The UK company, which dates back to 1889 when it was founded as the British South Africa Company by Cecil Rhodes, said that its depressed share price had prompted it to endorse the 500p-a-share offer. The company existed mainly as a mining finance business until the 1980s, when it branched into engineering.
Nigel Smith, Charter's chief executive, said: "Our prospects have improved but our share price has remained stubbornly low. This deal is a personal disappointment, as it has happened because the stock market undervalued us, but the price achieved gives me professional satisfaction."
The offer is at a 105 per cent premium to Charter's closing share price of 243.5p on Tuesday. Five years ago, its shares traded above 900p.
David Larkam, an analyst at Albert E Sharp Securities, said: "Shareholders will be relieved to get out at £5."
However, he said the price did not look as generous when measured as a multiple of earnings. The offer, which comes with irrevocable undertakings representing 31 per cent of Charter's share capital, is worth 12.5 times City earnings forecast for the current year.
Mr Larkam said that the major question mark over the deal was regulatory clearance and how long that might take. He said that would be one reason why investors sold shares for less than 500p yesterday - 23.5 million changed hands, with a closing price of 467.5p.
"The big issue now is whether it will go through, not whether someone else will come in," he said.
The move would double Lincoln's share of the world welding products market to 20 per cent. US regulators can put takeovers in doubt because of the length of time taken to resolve competition issues.
Jim Schilling, vice-president of corporate development at Lincoln, said he did not believe that the combined group would be forced to make substantial disposals to satisfy regulators.
He also said that Lincoln had not yet decided whether it would retain or sell Howden, Charter's industrial fans division and its only remaining substantial interest outside welding. It sold its specialist engineering division last year.
"We were interested in the welding business - we're a welding company. But we have identified real value in Howden. We need to decided whether to make this a second core business for us."
Mr Schilling said that the rationale of the deal was to expand Lincoln's geographical reach. Charter is strong in Europe. Lincoln's main facilities are in the US, Canada and Mexico.

Thursday, July 25, 2013 - Comedian Tommy Chong has come to his daughter Rae Dawn Chong's defense after she sparked controversy by going public with her feelings about Oprah WinFrey.
Chong verbally attacked the TV icon with a few choice racially-charged remarks during an appearance on on Matty P's Radio Happy Hour in America, calling her "a field n**ger".
She later backtracked and insisted her comments were taken out of context
and that she was really complimenting Winfrey.
The Commando star's father has since agreed with his daughter and expressed that The Color Purple star will probably laugh off what was said.
He tells TMZ.com, "If you think of what (Rae) said, she said back in the day Oprah would be working in the field because she's not that beautiful .... whereas if you're beautiful, you're part of the master's bedroom."
He continues, "Knowing Oprah, she would probably read (Rae's comments) and just chuckle and probably agree with Rae Dawn... She probably would be working in the field."

bank of spain
Remember the Arrrrrrrrrchi—TORTURE…
I meant to say… Architecture. A visit to Malaga, Spain has brought me to this building that reminded me of architecture that I had studied in the past. And to define what architecture is, there is only one man… and he is Vitruvius.
However… after thousand of years of architecture… it does not seem to evolve much. Well, I do not want to get in to deep in to the topic because it was my thesis… about why architecture evolution does not evolve. We should leave that topic for another time…. but if really interested. You can visit my website at www.NattMuangsiri.com about what I believe that architecture should be.
Today… let just enjoy the picture of the Bank of Spain in Malaga.
Below is more information from Wikipedia…
"The earliest written work on the subject of architecture is De architectura, by the Roman architect Vitruvius in the early 1st century CE.[10] According to Vitruvius, a good building should satisfy the three principles of firmitatis utilitatis venustatis,[11][12] which translates roughly as -
* Durability – it should stand up robustly and remain in good condition.
* Utility – it should be useful and function well for the people using it.
* Beauty – it should delight people and raise their spirits.
According to Vitruvius, the architect should strive to fulfill each of these three attributes as well as possible."

It is perhaps appropriate that the important military anniversaries that fall this year should be marked by the publication of volumes that themselves represent potent weapons in the battle between the ebook and traditional publishing. Some are almost as substantial as the Cenotaph; all are spirited affirmations of the delights of print.
In particular, we have the re-issue in lavish form of two classics on the Normandy landings, on their 70th anniversary: Stephen Ambrose's D-Day (Simon & Schuster, £25) and The Longest Day by Cornelius Ryan (André Deutsch, £50). In price, ambition and above all in their tactile qualities these are about as far away from reading text off a tablet as it is possible to get. The Longest Day presents Ryan's unequalled text in magazine-style format, additionally armed with envelopes of enthralling facsimile documents – the official translations of, say, Rommel's diaries of the time (as Hitler's commander on the Atlantic seaboard) or the handwritten note by Allied Supreme Commander General Eisenhower, dated 5 June 1944, taking full responsibility in the event the invasion failed. There is also a CD with interviews Ryan conducted in the 1950s, when memories were still fresh enough to make eye-witness accounts of conversations with Churchill or the terror of the beach landings fluent and immediate. Ryan, who died in 1974, was a war correspondent for The Daily Telegraph and was there on D-Day; hence the sense of authenticity. It made his work a 30 million seller in 30 languages.
Ambrose is also honoured with a new illustrated edition of his gripping narrative of Operation Overlord – and punctuated by his hallmark forthright insights, as seen in his verdict on Hitler's entirely unprovoked decision to declare war on America after Pearl Harbor: "It was the looniest of all his crazy decisions." Ambrose also chose anecdotes well, as in this testimony from a Private Carl Weast on his commander, Captain George Whittington: "He was a hell of a man… He led people. I recall the time a week or so after D-Day when we shot a cow and cut off some beef and were cooking it over a fire on sticks. Whittington came up and threw a German boot next to the fire and said, 'I'll bet some son of a bitch misses that.' We looked at the boot. The German's leg was still inside of it. I'll bet by God he did miss it."
Such remarks prove that the Second World War could be as gruesome as the First. In Tommy's War (Bloomsbury £25), Richard van Emden, who has become almost a posthumous advocate for the poor bloody infantry (he wrote The Last Fighting Tommy: the Life of Harry Patch), draws on the vast quantity of written and photographic material available on the Great War – some of it prosaic, some almost pornographic. It was, after all, the first conflict to be photographed to any great extent by the participants, and Kodak avidly marketed battlefield-ready cameras – the iPhones of their day. As ever, Emden makes the most of these original statements and images.
The First World War Remembered (André Deutsch £50), compiled by Gary Sheffield, is my favourite of this crop, for no better reason than I would have relished it when I was at school. It has a Look and Learn feel, plus you get a DVD of interviews with ex-Tommies, with a period silent movie in, and a wealth of large facsimile posters and maps. If I thought I could get away with it, I would pin these up with Blu Tack on the bedroom wall; you can't do that with an e-reader.Reuse content

Here's the Best And Worst Of WWE Raw for September 10, 2012. The bad one.
Worst: What Happened To Jerry Lawler, And How Hard It Is To Explain
I slept for about an hour and a half last night. Most of it was spent tossing and turning, wondering how the hell I was going to turn an awful Raw turned tragic into this grand, wistful piece about what Jerry Lawler means to the wrestling community, and how we're all gonna band together and pray and help him get through it. I don't know if I can do that. That's Dave Shoemaker's job.
Here's the truth: I hate Jerry Lawler. I love the idea of Jerry Lawler, though. I like the idea that an average-looking, average-sized guy from Tennessee, armed with nothing more than some great punches and an ability to connect with a crowd, put on a shitty-looking crown and became the King Of Wrestling. He doesn't look like Hulk Hogan. He looks like me, for Christ's sake, and he's piledriving Superstar Billy Graham. That's cool. I think of him getting hit by a car, being the f**king asshole who slapped Andy Kaufman or feuding with the goddamn Batman and I smile, because that's exactly how dumb and interesting wrestling should be.
Jerry "The King" Lawler from 30 years ago and Jerry Lawler the Raw Announcer are two different things. Jerry Lawler the announcer is destructive to the show he's supposed to promote. He's casually racist, cruel to women, blind to logic and determined to keep the bar for compassion and reasoning as low as possible. A lot of this is what comes through his earpiece, but the words come out of his mouth, so I guess he's to blame. He changes his mind for no reason. He spent most of the last year yelling at Michael Cole over matches full of guys busting their asses to be something in a company who'd rather have a 60+ year old man feud with a non-wrestler about who can make who lick the other's foot. It's continuously one of the worst, assiest parts of Raw.
If I switched gears and said, "Jerry Lawler is a legend we all remember him from the Attitude Era, he had a heart attack on Raw and now let's remember him for all the great things he's done", I'd be a liar. I run a sports site, and a big problem with doing that is the knowledge that I have to jump on every tragic thing that happens as quickly as possible and share the most palatable, clickable opinion so you'll come back and read me tomorrow. As much as I'd like to pretend otherwise, it wouldn't be out of character for me to just post a bunch of Lawler/Bockwinkel clips and pretend I think God gives a shit about pro wrestlers.
Here's the truth about last night, as best I can understand it. It was f**king terrifying. Lawler blanked out during the Daniel Bryan/Kane vs. Prime Time Players match, and when we finally got back to Cole it was him earnestly explaining that this was "not part of tonight's entertainment" and that Lawler had been taken to the back to be looked at by doctors. This, two weeks after the backstage fight with CM Punk gave him "chest pains" or whatever. It wasn't unreasonable to think, "okay, they're telling us it's not part of the story, so it's part of the story" like they always do. It wasn't unreasonable to react to their serious voices (or "Owen voices", as we call them) with "yeah, right", because they always use them. They use Owen voices when John Cena gets heinously assaulted by whoever backstage. The Attitude Era created a disconnect between reality and fans who could accept fiction as reality, and honestly sometimes it's easier to just pretend it's a work as long as you can. Helps your stomach hurt less.
Then, there was the silence.
The silence was the worst part. They came back from commercial and did their matches, hype videos, backstage shots of Rey Mysterio or whatever in complete and utter f**king silence. You knew Cole couldn't interrupt a 619 spot with news about Lawler being dead, but you were just waiting for it to end and cut back over to him with tears in his eyes. That's the end to the wrestling tragedy story. Misawa taught us that. Chris Benoit taught us that. Remember when the reports first came out about Benoit and his family being dead, and we all thought, "Oh, they ALL died? Maybe there was a gas leak in his home or something". Like that could ever f**king happen.
It was like sitting in a hospital waiting room. I remember "Smoke And Mirrors" playing, but I don't remember anything Cody Rhodes did. I love Cody Rhodes. He should've made me happier. But when you're in a hospital waiting room, Jesus, nothing makes you happier. It's just a TV you can barely hear, some Highlights For Children magazines and the weird feeling that Death is standing in the hallway, staring at you, waiting for you to drop your guard.
There was a lot of righteous indignation on the Internet about WWE, and HOW DARE THEY~ keep the show going, and how Vince McMahon was/is a heartless monster who only wants our money, and beautiful hero Jerry Lawler was fighting for his life somewhere backstage. The truth there is that there isn't a right answer. You can't armchair quarterback a tragedy. The show should go on. The show shouldn't go on. Whatever. Chances are, everybody backstage gives a shit about this guy, even the ones who don't care about anybody and just want our money. It's not our call to make. It's barely theirs.
John Cena trotted out to do his John Cena thing, and I tried to deal with it. The news kept getting more hopeful. Jerry had the great luck of going down at a WWE event, where doctors and EMTs are ready and waiting. He was responsive. He was breathing. His heart was beating. He was stabilizing. It made me feel like I felt when I was 14, listening to the doctor describe what was going on with my grandmother, wanting to know what to do and how to help but not really being able to hear anything or stop staring at the floor.
They came up with a few hashtags to help us show our support for Jerry. #PrayForJerry. #PrayForLawler. Does that feel right? Am I supposed to Tout about it if he dies?
Pro wrestling fans sorta make their own line for things like this. Sometimes we stand back and don't want to interrupt. Sometimes we slam our hands on the ring apron during match finishes. Sometimes we heckle, or we stand a little too close to Christy Hemme during mark photos, or we call wrestlers by their real names because we know about them and they owe us for our support and we're the reason why they're all here. We jump on Twitter to bark at each other for how we're handling a tragedy. We think it's weird to make jokes, but we use hashtags, because hashtags are classy and jokes aren't. Nobody has the same line. My line and your line aren't the same. My line and the line of someone exactly like me aren't the same. We never know where to stop, or where to start, or where we're going.
So where's the line, here? What's the truth? The truth is that I hate Jerry Lawler and don't want him back in the announce booth, and that whether he can still go or not, a 62-year old man should not be bumping and working a tag match on television. The other truth is that the thought of losing him like this tears me up inside, and that no matter how many asinine, destructive things he says to make my wrestling experience worse, he's a wrestler, and I love him, and I want him to be okay. I don't want him to die. I don't want the guy who got hit by a car or got cussed out by Andy Kaufman or feuded with Batman or piledrove Superstar Billy Graham to be gone. I don't want The King Of Memphis, Tennessee, to be another barely-researched statistic about wrestler deaths on Nancy Grace. I don't want all the people who care about him to be in pain. I don't want Michael Cole's voice to hurt like that anymore. I don't want Jim Ross's hands to shake. I don't want it.
I want Jerry Lawler the man to recover, be as strong as he was before it happened, and live his life for as long as he can. My opinions on wrestling or what should go where don't f**king matter. I want his heart to be okay. The heart is usually the best part of a wrestler.

Best: Heath Slater Should Wrestle The Ryback Every Week Until He Wins
I hated almost the entire first hour of Raw, and obviously everything post-Lawler collapsing was hard to get into, but there was a sweet spot right in the middle where I started enjoying myself. As predictable as it is, that centered around Heath Slater, The Ryback and the Daniel Bryan and Kane anger management stuff with the Prime Time Players. In this interest of this not being the most drab column of all time, I've decided to just put all of those moments right here.
So yeah, Heath Slater wrestling Ryback. I'm trying my best to get Destiny on the Heath Slater bandwagon. It's not working, because she hates his hair. I tried explaining how the hair is actually beneficial to him, because when he gets punched he can just snap his head around and the hair goes flying like his head's exploding. I pointed out how awesome it is to see him get shoved into the ropes, go through them, flop to the outside and keep moving forward. She laughed at his sell of Ryback's clothesline, and how he sold a powerbomb by gasping around like a fish and rolling over onto his stomach. She's not there yet, but it'll happen. Also I think he might have to stop shouting BAYBAYYYYYY.
The only Worst for this is the Goldberg chant, which, like I mentioned when it very first started, people will continue to chant now because they're "supposed to". It's what all the other crowds do at the beginning of Ryback matches, so the 10-year olds will chant "Goldberg" with no idea who he is or why they're doing it. You don't remember Goldberg or Albert you little nerds. People seem really into "feed me more", though, so maybe it'll even out over time, and we can start up with the more appropriate chant: "RVD".
By the way, I'm officially naming September "Convince Someone You Know To Like Heath Slater Month". I'll expect a full report about your progress in our comments section on the 30th.
Best: The Hug It Out Video Package
I didn't think they could make the Hug It Out moment between Daniel Bryan and Kane any better, but they added slow, dramatic piano music to the build-up and 'Brady Bunch' style happy 60s music to the hug. Outstanding. This video package is more or less the exact opposite of the rest of Raw.
Best: DragonFire*
My love of Kane continues to grow.
I'm not normally a fan of tag teams being thrown together and put into #1 contenders matches you know they're gonna win, because you KNOW they're only together to win the tag titles, but this is working for a variety of reasons. One, their characters have a lengthy, interesting history together. Two, their actual partnership and interaction is the result of weeks of story, which is so competent I'm almost surprised I typed it. Three, they're clearly having a lot of fun, and get to sarcastically tag each other and accidentally chokeslam their way to victories. Four, the tag team division is getting better, but the belts are 100% garbage pail worthless on Kofi Kingston and R-Truth. Putting them on two guys who need something important to do and can add prestige to what you're going for is a great call. Five, it will hopefully lead to them staying a tag team, or at least friends, for the remainder of Kane's run.
I'm not sure I can express how important it is for me to keep Kane in this role. I know we've argued in the comments section before about Daniel Bryan being a wrestling ace who should be willing five-star classics out of Sheamus and shit on the reg, but he's always, always an enjoyable part of the show, and if my girlfriend** and I can enjoy the same wrestling segment on Raw, I consider it a victory.
*This is their official team name. If I can't get Rhodes Scholar to stick, I'm forcing this one to.
**Sorry for talking about my girlfriend so much this week, Raw was f**king depressing. I spent most of the last hour helping her study for a Certified Employee Benefit Specialist test, with flash cards and binders and everything. This was legitimately more entertaining to me than Raw.
Best: The Prime Time Players Rule
I thought they'd be afterthoughts when A.W. left, but the two worst in-ring dudes outside of Eli Cottonwood in NXT history, Titus O'Neil and Darren Young, have somehow gotten where they need to be in the ring and brought their hilarious NXT personae to a Raw audience. I'm so proud of them. In fact, I'm proud of that entire class of NXT people I love so much (AJ, Kaitlyn, Darren and Titus, Hawkins and Reks for a while, hell, even Matt Striker) for stepping up and proving they can be entertaining parts of a show the average WWE fan actually watches. My only three problems:
1. Maxine is gone and probably never coming back.
2. Johnny Curtis deserves a better reoccurring role than "extra wrestler who appears as filler when something dramatic happens backstage".
3. NXT protagonist Derrick Bateman carried that show for a season and a half (with the "half" being 10 times longer than a full season) and does not have a regular on-screen role.
Maybe when USA Guy becomes a huge deal he'll put in a word for his good friend D-Bates.
Anyway, Titus adopting a whistle prop and making football calls to express his feelings on general manager decisions is pretty choice. Also, the afro pick. Also, tucking your custom-made t-shirts into only the front of your custom-made sparkly underpants. Also,

Rummaging through the dark corners of our freezer last week not only saved me having to dodge sale-crazed shoppers just to get a meal, but also revealed two frosted containers of plump blackcurrants. Quite how we'd forgotten about this treasure trove is a mystery, seeing as they were plucked and stored in the summer of 2006; while I'm a little picky about freshness when it comes to food, any thought of the ruby-jet beads being past their sell-by-date didn't cross my mind. Blackcurrants are one of my favourite fruits, especially when cooked and made into jam or cassis, the vital syrup to make champagne palatable for heathens like me.
I'm also a sucker for the emotional joy-ride it gives from its fragrance. Anyone who has explored the hidden depths of an abandoned garden as a child will know the sharp, edgy aroma of blackcurrant, the faintest whiff of which is potent enough to open a portal back to long forgotten innocence and adventure. The astringent aroma, from the leaves and stems as much as the berries, is not immediately recognisable as a "good" smell but neither is it unpleasant. It's as if the acerbic pungency has been stripped of all pretence to be anything but a latent raw state of the earth's primitive musk.
Lately, the worldwide obsession for "superfruits" has given this popular wartime crop a new status to rival Goji berries and blueberries. Research by Dr Derek Stewart of the Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI) suggests that blackcurrants – with more minerals, vitamins and antioxidants – are set to become important in the battle against heart disease, cancer and even Alzheimer's disease.
Originally found in the northerly regions of Europe to Asia, the blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) has been grown in the UK for around 500 years and has been used by herbalists to treat a range of ailments. British varieties are particularly potent because of their darker colour, a clue that they possess a higher content of anthocyanins (crucial to stimulate antioxidant activity), and breeders are constantly looking to select the best attributes to improve the berry's health-giving properties even further. In the early 1900s, cultivation was banned in the United States when it was found that they helped spread the disease White Pine Blister Rust, threatening the nation's lumber market. It's only beginning to make a comeback in some states where the ban has recently been lifted.
Strains that also carry gooseberry and redcurrant ancestry have been selected by the SCRI for their disease resistance, colour and form and are mostly named after Scottish Munros – Ben Lomond being the first in 1975. Ben Hope, being more resistant to gall mite, has become the most widely grown variety particularly for commercial growers together with Ben Tirran, a late cropper to extend the season. The larger, sweeter berries of Ben Sarek and Ben Connan have been geared towards amateur growers who are also looking forward to the arrival of Big Ben, which could be the biggest and sweetest yet.
If you already have a blackcurrant shrub, increasing your stock couldn't be easier as 20cm (eight inch) cuttings taken in September are easy to root in either a pot or open ground. If you know someone locally with healthy stock that has consistently produced good fruit don't pass up a chance to perpetuate a variety that you know will do well in your locality.
My freezer stash is from two Ben Lomond bushes I planted four years ago. It was our first crop of real significance, most of which was made into a jam so tasty that I'm about to short-circuit my computer by salivating. It's been our only crop to date, as last summer we lost the whole lot to scrumpers or birds – in order to keep down the blood pressure it's preferable to assume it was the latter. There isn't enough for jam from this welcome find so we'll make a little cassis. At the very least it will enable us to drizzle some over vanilla ice cream or crack open a bottle of Bollinger (an unwanted present, you understand), and belatedly toast the New Year without gurning.

Welfare Theory by Tony Fitzpatrick
Book DescriptionThis major text provides a comprehensive and straightforward introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of social policy. Written in an engaging style with a user-friendly structure, it offers students a clear guide to crucial debates and key concepts within social policy today. Welfare Theory draws upon politics, sociology and philosophy to analyse the history and meaning of concepts such as: equality, liberty, citizenship, the state, power, poverty and human nature. The text reviews the core ideologies of welfare, from the radical Right to Marxism, as well as other perspectives based on divisions of gender, ethnicity, disability, age and sexuality. It also outlines recent innovations in welfare theory including: post-industrialism, post-Fordism, globalisation, postmodernism, communitarianism, environmentalism, risk society, new technologies and the body. This important text is essential introductory reading for all Social Policy undergraduates and critical reading for all those who wish to understand what is at stake in the welfare policies of the 21st century.

Hi Paddy, grew some veg here for the first time, all gone now but great fun and eat some veg that I grew
I have coldframes that are empty at the moment so might try with some salad leaves
I bought some snowdrops in the green and the 6 perennial offer last year. A year on and I'm very happy with them, on the whole grown into strong perennial plants.
Great, thanks both
Bought a well established Budlelia today for a good price. I'ts over a metre tall but is quite bushy at the bottom and has side shoots coming off the main stem. It's still got it's dried flowers on it
Got a good place for it, really want it to well next year, when the best time to prune it?
Courgettes definatley, first time for any veg. Grew some wilkos seed in a couple of large containers, really enjoyed picking them. No mildew that I could see but I would have like a few more, mange touts as well
Stacey, I love them, they are really good, like the witch one especially
It's a shame things aren't working, Cltl and F5 makes no difference, neither does clearing one's history...........think I'm going to leave it for now and come back in a few days to see if things have improved...........I might be talking to myself, thats ok, I'm the one person that makes sense to me
The site isn't working properly, clicked on new discussions and this came up, no idea if this post will come up. I'll come back in a bit
Tried it, didn't work, never mind. I'll come back when things are working
I have a tiny pond more like a ditch........... it been here for a couple of years and I don't know how they do it but toads arrived quickly.
Don't know if they came in with some smelly compost or they found their way in? The cats have brought some in (alive) so have just popped them in there. I don't see the toads very often but every few months I catch a glimpse. Saw one in the flower beds a few months ago I go along with the theory that adding some water is the best way to increase the diversity of wildlife.
My ditch is in the worst probably place, under 2 beech trees, I do try and get some netting over it in the Autumn, other than that I leave it alone........it's probably got a bit of leak so in the summer months I do top it up a bit
I have made sure that there are steps to the water entrance so that any creature can find a way out

GOP convention speaker remembers O.C. Marine
Thousands of people attending the Republican National Convention heard the story of a Mission Viejo Marine killed in Iraq, and heard her honored for her sacrifice.
Marine Lt. Gen. Carol Mutter, a three-star general, addressed the crowd at Xcel Energy Center and a national audience with a brief speech that honored Mission Viejo High School grad, Maj, Megan McClung.
McClung was the first female Marine officer to be killed in the conflict, based on Defense Department statistics. McClung was 34 when she was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq on Dec. 6, 2006.
"I tell you about Megan because it's so important that we remember the sacrifices our brave men and women are making every day," said Mutter.
Mutter announced the Women Marines Association and McClung's family will award the first annual Major Megan McClung Memorial Scholarship to a college student this year. Any child who is nominated by a woman Marine, as well as any woman Marine, is eligible for the $1,5000 scholarship.
McClung grew up in Mission Viejo and graduated from the Mission Viejo High and the U.S. Naval Academy.
McClung's parents, Michael and Re McClung, watched the speech from their Whidbey Island home in Washington state.
"We were sitting in our family room glued to the TV, only getting up for a coffee, and watching every minute of the convention," said Re.
Since McClung's death, her parents have received mementos and kind words from people across the country — including a comfort quilt from a church group at the Presbyterian Church of the Master that was sent in July.
"The first feeling is grateful…the one thing anyone who has lost a child wants is for that child to be remembered," said Michael.
Mutter has a connection with the McClung family; years ago she served with McClung's father at Camp Pendleton when he was in the Corps.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) infects brain macrophages and microglia and causes HIV- associated dementia (HAD), a primary disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects about 20% of HIV-infected individuals. Current treatment of HAD is hampered by the poor efficiency of many antiretroviral drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Hence, new therapies for HAD are needed. Circulating blood monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) are known to migrate across the BBB and to enter the CNS under both normal and certain circumstances;some subsequently maturing into long-lived tissue-resident brain macrophages and microglia. The hypothesis of this research is that it may be possible to exploit the natural homing/migratory properties of blood MDM in order to deliver neuroprotective factors into the CNS, in a non- invasive and non-surgical manner. Previous studies from our laboratory and others, have shown that MDM (human and mouse) can be genetically modified in vitro using defective lentiviral vectors (DLV) without adversely affecting their biological properties. Furthermore, we have shown that primary mouse blood monocytes and bone marrow-derived macrophages genetically modified by DLV can enter the brain, and that the efficiency of CNS uptake of these cells can be enhanced through transient disruption of the BBB. We have recently shown that secreted anti-HIV-Tat single chain antibodies (scFv) and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (sTNFR) from DLV-transduced MDM can effectively block the neurotoxic effects of conditioned medium from HIV-1 infected cells or respective recombinant proteins. In this project, we will establish a gene transfer method for high efficiency (>50%), stable transduction of primary mouse MDM with vectors that encode secretable scFv and sTNFR. We will then conduct studies to determine whether uptake of these genetically modified cells into the mouse brain can be enhanced using temporary disruption of the BBB, and we will evaluate the time course and stability of intra-CNS gene expression following peripheral infusion of the genetically-modified MDM. Finally, we will determine whether primary mouse MDM that stably express TNFR or anti-HIV-Tat scFv can ameliorate disease progression in two well-studied murine model systems for neuroAIDS. Successful completion of this study is expected to provide significant insight into new approaches for combating neuroAIDS and other neurologic disorders.
