All the Gray Iron and Ductile Iron poured by Washburn Iron Works starts from bins of select raw material. We combine three types of post-industry scrap steel – punchings, bushlings, and fabricating scrap – with pig iron and alloys to achieve consistent
iron grades. We work closely with our suppliers so that each load of scrap steel is compatible with our quality standards.
Quality assurance begins from the moment our furnaces are brought up to temperature. The grade and quality of every furnace
batch of Gray Iron or Ductile Iron is checked using an Optical Emission Spectrometer which allows Washburn Iron Works to
adjust the iron mix if necessary before any iron is distributed to the pouring areas. All ladles are poured post innoculant.
Process controls include temperature monitoring, hardness verification (bhn hardness) and chemical spectral analysis. Ductile Iron is checked for nodularity. Test bars for both Gray Iron and Ductile Iron are routinely pulled by several accredited laboratories to verify compliance with ASTM standards. These reports are available to our customers.
Cast or Gray Iron in its conventional form is essentially an iron carbon silicon alloy which consists of flake graphite in a steel-like matrix. Gray Iron is a brittle material having little or no ductility. It is normally soft and machinable with relatively low tensile strengths in the unalloyed form.
Gray Iron is the most commonly used cast iron in the industry. A minimum of alloy and added processes makes Gray Iron a versatile material. Gray Iron is characterized by excellent machinability, high damping capabilities and a low modulus of elasticity.
The Ductile Iron we produce today is a cast material consisting of a
steel matrix populated with spheroidal graphite. Ductile Irons has an amazing range of properties which no other single metal can match.
Ductile Iron possess the excellent castability of Gray Iron combined with much of the strength and ductility of steel.
Ductile Iron has a mix of added alloy resulting in an iron well suited to high wear environment.
Other requirements of Ductile Iron: Chemical composition is subordinate to mechanical properties.

As effective and useful as virtualization has proven to be for business IT, a number of virtualization myths are still in circulation, and widely believed by many IT pros. These can range from the overly positive (such as the "virtualization as a silver bullet" theory) to outright falsehoods (you need to know Linux to use VMware). To help separate fact from fiction, I recently spoke with Jennifer Anderson, Senior Director of Research and Development at VMware, and Mike Schutz, director of product management, Windows Server and Solutions Division at Microsoft.
1. Virtualization is only good for server consolidation.
In some respects, virtualization has become a victim of its own success. Server consolidation via virtualization has saved many IT departments millions of dollars in hardware and power costs, but also contributes to the perception among some IT pros that virtualization is just a server-side solution. Schutz explains that the impressive space and cost saving that server consolidation brings is a huge benefit, but "it's really the low-hanging fruit" when it comes to a more substantial virtualization strategy. Virtualization has the potential to revolutionize how enterprise IT is done, but IT pros should also consider desktop virtualization, application virtualization, and other uses for virtualization in their organizations.
2. VMware doesn't take advantage of multi-core systems.
This myth has been circulating for years, and VMware's Anderson indicates that the ESX Server family of products has been taking advantage of multi-core processors for a long time. While multi-core support in ESX server is now a given, Anderson points out that some applications have hard-coded limitations when it comes to memory and processor requirements, and those apps still need to abide by those restrictions when running in a virtual machine. For example, Microsoft recommends 32GB of memory per operating system instance and 1000 mailboxes per processor core as a guideline for Exchange deployments, and those guidelines still apply when Exchange is virtualized.
3. Virtualization is a silver bullet.
Virtualization can do wonders when it comes to increasing efficiency and power savings, but it can't do it all. Some IT pros don't research the downside of virtualization fully, which leads to the misconception that virtualization is a silver bullet that can solve all your IT problems. "Some believe it can take away all the pain, that it's a magic pill," says Schutz. "Virtualization can provide great tools, but without effective management, the benefits of what virtualization brings will go untapped."
4. Virtualization doesn't work for high I/O applications.
The conventional wisdom used to be that virtualization wouldn't work well with apps that had high I/O demands. Anderson agrees that this may have been an issue in the early days of virtualization, but virtualization technology has made great strides in this area over the last five years. For example, VMware recently demonstrated a version of ESX Server running more than 100,000 I/O operations per second on one ESX host.
5. To use VMware you need to know Linux.
In the early days of VMware, several of VMware's products required use of a Linux command line console to access some management functions. While that command line support is still available, most VMware customers will never need to touch a command line to perform management functions. "We have many Windows-based installations where administrators never have to use those command line features," Anderson says. "That functionality is still there, but you don't need to use it to manage your VMware deployments."

Palm Beach County`s tourism council voted Friday to fight a proposal to increase tourism taxes and use the extra money for beach improvements, despite its chairman`s suggestion the beaches are why tourists flock to the county in the first place.
Most members of the Tourist Development Council said the top priority for revenues from the 2 percent ``bed tax`` should continue to be advertisements to lure tourists to spend their money in Palm Beach County.
``This is opening a Pandora`s box,`` TDC member Ann Cassady said of the Florida legislature`s proposal to spend bed-tax money on beach improvements.
The council agreed to urge county lobbyists to fight a legislative proposal authorizing an additional penny per dollar to the tax on overnight accommodations. The bill is intended to raise money to buy or improve beaches and to finance convention centers, stadiums and other tourist-related facilities.
``Certainly it`s important to advertise tourism,`` council and County Commission Chairman Ken Adams said, ``but in Palm Beach County it`s immensely important that we have beaches, because without the beaches we won`t have tourists.``
Despite his reservations, Adams agreed to support a move to fight the legislation. Other council members at the West Palm Beach meeting pointed out that the county`s entire bed-tax revenue -- $2.7 million last year -- would be a ``drop in the bucket`` toward refurbishing all the beaches in Palm Beach County.
``I`m afraid that if this goes through, perhaps roads would be next, and so on down the line, and before you know it there`s nothing left to promote tourism,`` said TDC member Ronnie Van Allen, executive vice president of the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce.
Under the legislative proposal, which already has passed the House tourism committee, the County Commission would not be able to add the third penny per dollar until 1987, and then only by the vote of four of the five commissioners.

With all the economic bombs being dropped as of late, I can't help but wonder what kinds of checks and balances could keep this crap from happening. Congress has legislation in front of it to increase the penalties for CEO's, CFO's etc. of PUBLICLY held companies who lie about the bottom line. This is all well and good, but its not enough. How about making these guys liable to the stockholders for those losses? For that matter, instead of a single count of fraud being brought up, how about a count for every 100 shareholders? As an example, X Inc. has 23,000 individual shareholders. If the CEO signs off on cooked books, he potentially faces 230 counts of fraud, each bearing a potential 10 year sentence. Thats what I call a deterrent. Same rule should apply to the accountants too. After all, they ARE the keepers of the books.
And what about the SEC? Our 'watchdogs' appear to be taking a nap here. If we are going to give them a larger set of regulatory powers, then lets sprinkle a little liability in their direction too. The threat of a lost pension or a little jail time should work wonders on the buearucratic mentality. If your job is to regulate, then get off your duff and do your job. If you don't you could lose your fat little pension or worse. Seems like a fair incentive to me.
Now comes the part I figure you guys are really gonna hate...corporate salaries. Lets face it....some of these CEO's are making an obscene amount of money. Given that it's a PUBLICLY traded company, there really ought to be some limitations here. A CEO should not be allowed to earn a salary that is greater than 25 times that of the lowest paid full-time employee. As an example, the janitor at X Inc. earns $20,000 a year. That means the CEO can make $500,000 a year. Limit his bonuses to 2.5 times his annual salary and he can still rake in almost 2 mill a year. I don't know about you guys, but in my opinion if you can't make it on 1.75 mill a year, you got problems. As a shareholder myself, I don't relish the thought of paying someone such a HUGE salary because thats money that comes out of my dividends, it devalues MY shares. Add to that the fact that executive salaries are tied to the salaries of others withing the company, giving incentive for a more equeatible pay scale, and it seems that everyone benefits (except the CEO) from a 'balanced' system.
Look, I know whats above isn't perfect, and Lord knows I HATE over-regulation, but I hate to see shareholders and hard working folks like ourselves getting 'fleeced' even worse. So everybody give me a piece of your mind in trade for the piece of mine you just got...I want to know how you feel about corporate salaries and the situation our ecomomy is in. I just hope and pray I don't get banned for this one.
Live long and prosper!!

- 4 years ago
- Wedding: August 2014
Been together with Fiance for over two and a half years, long distance for one and half years only seeing him twice (he lives in China).
He is finally going to be here soon! We are in the final steps of a fiance visa.
We will be getting married in SF at city hall and have a reception later on in a year or so. I've found a dress– ordered online and my best friends love it… but since I haven't done the wedding dress experience (and don't know if I will be able to), I'm still a little hesitant. I trust my friends when they say it is really flattering and that they love it, but honestly never thought I would be going strapless!
Maybe, if I can accessorize it, I will feel more bridal?
So, suggestions please! I don't have anything other than the shoes and dress… so I'm open to everything! I'm a plus size girl, dress is a size 12.
Please help me feel special on this happy day!

When I was growing up in Ohio, both my mother and my Sunday school teachers taught that smoking and drinking alcohol were wrong.
I wanted to be obedient. But when I saw my Sunday school teacher, away from church, smoking, it shook me. I had to decide if I was going to do as she said or as she did.
I did as she said. At the time I felt shunned for the decision and that hurt. I often hoped my friends wouldn't ask me to imbibe. It didn't take long, however, to understand how the allure often led to addiction, and I was glad about my choice.
When my oldest son encountered these problems, not only tobacco and alcohol, but also drugs, I suggested a different way to respond. Instead of holding back and hoping someone else would say "No thank you" first, I suggested that he be the first to say no. Assume there are probably others in the group who want to say no, but for one reason or another are afraid to.
If he passed without hesitation, others would probably follow. This is exactly what happened. Later, his friends came to him to tell him that his decision gave them courage to say no. He made many good friends during those years, and many were people who shared the same values.
Several years later, after giving my daughter the same advice, she told me that her friends loved to invite her along because they had a designated driver if they needed one. She felt that they admired her for her stand and that they were less likely to overindulge when she was along.
Another problem I encountered as a mother seemed to result from the fact that we had prospered and had sufficient income to give the children all they needed and many things that they did not need but wanted.
For example, one of my sons ruined two pairs of shoes within a few months. When he came home one day with only one shoe of a third, new pair, it seemed important to teach the children a better sense of value.
The family discussed the problem and came up with a solution that worked well. My husband and I would list jobs around the house that we were willing to pay them to do based on the current minimum wage. In return, they would pay 25 percent of the cost of every item of essential clothing.
If we did not feel they really needed the clothing, they paid all the cost. If an item had to be replaced because it was ruined by carelessness or loss, they paid an increased amount depending upon how old the item was.
This completely changed the thinking and actions of our children. They quickly developed a much greater appreciation for everything they had. They stopped asking for so much and contributed more to the work around the house. They also took on jobs for neighbors, such as baby-sitting, mowing the grass and pulling weeds. Later, they found part-time jobs in the community. They continued to be well-dressed but took much better care of their clothes.

The WWII Memorial has some missing words....
Today I went to visit the new World War II Memorial in Washington,DC. I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I'm a baby boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, veterans of "the greatest war," with their families.
It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor: Yesterday, December 7, 1941-- a date which will live in infamy--theUnited States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked.
One elderly woman read the words aloud:"With confidence in our armed forces, with the unboundingdetermination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph."But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. "Wait a minute," she said, "they left out the end of the quote. They left out the most important part. Roosevelt ended the message with 'so help us God.'" Her husband said, "You are probably right. We're not supposed to say things like that now.""I know I'm right," she insisted. "I remember the speech." The two looked dismayed, shook their heads sadly and walked away.
Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself, "Well, it has been over 50 years. She's probably forgotten."But she had not forgotten. She was right.I went home and pulled out the book my book club is reading --- "Flags of Our Fathers" by James Bradley. It's all about the battle at IwoJima. I haven't gotten too far in the book. It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific. But! right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt's speech to the nation ends in "so help us God."The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me. I was born after the war. But they couldn't fool the people who were there. Roosevelt's words are engraved on their hearts.Now I ask: "WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?????????"
Send this around to your friends. People need to know before everyone forgets. People today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to be...and He always will be!If you agree, pass this on. If not, MAY GOD BLESS YOU
Thanks, Jack Stout, for emailing this to me.....I'm passing it on. It just breaks my heart that this kind of thing is happening in our country.

Adam Nagourney writes that a potential Obama poll collapse might turn the Super Delegates Clinton's way. But Nagourney also lays out just how tall an order that is. Not only does Clinton have to win states such as Pennsylvania and Indiana, she has to win by huge margins.
So obviously she's got to find Obama's weakness and just pound away. Team Clinton was given a perfect opportunity with the recent Jeremiah Wright scandal, but they seem to have let it slide. It didn't help that Geraldine Ferraro's comments neutralized Hillary's ability to jump in and say anything. Perhaps, too, they hoped the media would pound the drums long enough. Clinton should know by now that the media is extremely uninterested in helping along an Obama meltdown. With the exception of Fox News, they've all dropped the Wright storyline in favor of the infamous Clinton & Sinbad comedy tour of Bosnia.
Having Fox News gnaw on the story is perhaps the worst thing that can happen from a voter's perspective. That only makes Obama seem more like a party hero. But it is probably the most accurate glimpse of what will happen during the general election and one wonders if the Super Delegates are paying attention. As Nagourney states, "They are also hungry to win the White House and, in many cases, more committed to the success of the Democratic Party than to the fortunes of any specific candidate."
Christopher Hitchens, in a screed about Obama, faith and politics, has practically penned some killer copy for a Clinton attack ad: "You often hear it said, of some political or other opportunist, that he would sell his own grandmother if it would suit his interests. But you seldom, if ever, see this notorious transaction actually being performed, which is why I am slightly surprised that Obama got away with it so easily."
But at what price victory? The Gore/Bush election to this day sends people over the edge in paroxysms of anger. While Republican bloggers are licking their chops at the prospect, what the Democratic party doesn't need is a "Selected, not Elected" chant tainting their own convention. And that's to say nothing of Obama's supporters -- who are the most emotionally invested in this race -- staying home in the fall if Clinton somehow pulls out an upset.

Mildred Delores Jeter Loving
(July 22, 1939–May 2, 2008)
Caroline County
Principal in a 1967 Civil Rights Turning Point
Growing up in Caroline County, Mildred Jeter Loving (July 22, 1939May 2, 2008) fell in love with Richard P. Loving. In 1958 they married in Washington, D.C., because he was white and she had African American and Native American ancestry. A few weeks afterward, the couple was arrested at their home for violating Virginia's law against interracial marriage. They were each sentenced to one year in jail, with the sentence suspended so long as they lived outside the state and did not return together.
The Lovings moved to Washington and had three children, but Mildred Loving did not like living away from her home. In 1963 she wrote to the U.S. attorney general for help. At his suggestion, she contacted the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed a motion in the county court to vacate the sentence and allow the Lovings to live in Virginia as husband and wife. The local judge refused and the ACLU filed subsequent unsuccessful suits in state and federal courts. The United States Supreme Court heard their case, and its unanimous ruling on June 12, 1967, overturned Virginia's law, stating that the freedom to marry a person of another race was an individual civil right that a state could not deny.
Loving and her family returned to Caroline County, where they lived quietly in the home they built together. She often demurred that "all we ever wanted was to get married, because we loved each other," but Loving's courage ensured that interracial couples no longer faced legal discrimination against marriage.

The Shell Game
On the streets of Ravens Bluff there is a common, although somewhat unsavory, sight as one travels about. At nearly every intersection where the authorities are not in evidence, there is a small, easily transported table set up, generally covered with a fine swath of silk or linen. Around this table there is a small crowd of tourists, stretching and craning their heads in order to be able to observe the tabletop. Upon this table there rests three circular cup-like objects. The person behind the table usually claims that they are rare Aboleth eggs, turned to cups for the audiences' edification. The presenter then places a single gem under one of these, and begins moving them around and around on top of the table, switching the placement of the three cups as the crowd watches. The idea is then that the observers, for a small wager, can try to choose which cup holds the gem, winning the gem if they are correct, losing the wager if they are not. Obviously, the audience member always loses.
I bring up this sight because this week our heroes seemed to imitate nothing so much as this shell game. They were persistent in their wishes to appear to be what they were not and were incessant in their efforts to lose at every opportunity! Let me elaborate…
The whole situation began as our Heros tried to imitate civilized folk. Ensconced in the Princesses apartments at the end of a very fancy party they looked the part of a noble entourage, but of course, we all know this was the shallowest of shams. Deciding that perhaps this illusion wouldn't hold long enough to fool everyone looking on, we approached Kendra the Seneschal in hopes that we could stroll down to the docks where we really did belong and take a quick peek to ensure that all was well with the boat (you remember, the boat, the one thing that Rochaviche still owns in the world, the single way we have left to reclaim his birthright, the one thing that might allow us eventual revenge and redemption – oh yes! The Boat!). At this point Destrier decided that he would further fool everyone. Instead of being a brilliant bodyguard, he would ensure that he was a complete liability by always playing the odds with his new favorite number – a one. Kendra apparently was also game for the deception mode for she abruptly changed from kind and generous host to brutal commander, quite possibly ordering us to our deaths in the deep of the night. Deciding to really get into the spirt of the evening we didn't even try to act like heros, but took on the clever disguise of humble sheep and quietly gathered our things and hurried meekly to an unknown fate.
Out in the streets, it became apparent that once again Rocaviche had set the trend. Now everyone was trying to seem to be something that they weren't. The whole town had turned into a war zone, with armies readying, front lines being established and siege preparations being made. What happened to the fun port city we stopped at just a day or two ago…remember the "have a little shore leave, do a few drugs, get a little drunk and pick up some work" place…now we were in the middle of an armed camp, ready to rain armageddon down on everyone! Quite frankly I wasn't too fond of this game and wished we could get out of it, but Destrier was determined to play, and brought his 1's to bear, ending us up in an armed camp by the city's border. The Princess arrived, and apparently she was loving the new motif as well, for she arrived looking not like the sweet Princess of Rocaviche's dreams, but rather like a vision from one of the darker planes of Hell. Where did she get a horse like that? The theme continued as we discovered that the port wasn't really a port – it was a swimming pool. It seems that someone had really gotten into the theme of "now you see it, now you don't" and somehow transported every ship right out of the harbor. THE SHIP IS GONE!
Well, the fun continued. Despite the fact that we have proved numerous times that we are completely incapable of interacting with groups of people without it ending in horrible bloodshed, both Chendra and Kendra felt we should lead a few armed contingents for them. Now completely in the spirit of things we decided we would act as if we were leaders and strategists! Off we charged, leading our troops and setting them about as if we waged war regularly. We came to a small inlet where Chendra assured us that if we could successfully battle the emplaced armies we would have a boat to take us onward. Since we were deep into the spirit of things not being what they really were, we completely took her at her word and suspected nothing else was possible except what she told us. Our Brilliant Captain was so caught up in this game that instead of doing exactly what she wanted, she acted as if she were a true team player and followed Our Fearless Leader's orders to the letter. Our Fearless Leader, for his part, acted like he was a concerned and brilliant strategist, and not once throughout the whole event did he even hint at killing off his own crew members! Everyone got into the act as Martin rains down arrows on an unknown enemy and once again Destrier uses his new lucky number to find himself alone and discovered on the wrong side of enemy lines. Chendra, not to be outdone in this game of not being what you were, decided to charge in the calvary at just the wrong moment, ensuring that the battle would go fairly horribly wrong. Finally, to culminate the evening, Our Brilliant Captain decided that she would act like a fighter and go hand-to-hand with a dinosaur, Locke would pick every wrong place to be, Rocaviche would just plain stink in this fight and Destrier would cling tenaciously to his lucky number, running off in defeat to escape certain death. The bad guys took off in boats they apparently have no trouble keeping track of while we managed to tuck our tails between our legs and slink off on a small ship, having less than a quarter of the troops left, gained no ground, and LOST OUR SHIP. Happily it turns out that the mageocracy and their dopplegangers were in charge of the evening's games, and thus is becomes clear why everything seemed to be different than it truly was. You can't play a dopplegangers' game and expect to win!
Our adventures end with a cold rain dripping down on a ship too small to carry the pitiful contingent that made it out of the inlet. Ravens Bluff is now apparently closed to our new employer and her house and we clearly have a first list of enemies of Rocaviche and a second list of enemies of Chendra. All in all, lying in the bowels of my ship sleeping off some lotus blossom is starting to seem like an unattainably high aspiration.
