Like many people, I was once young, athletic, and active. I felt like I could eat anything I wanted without concern because my ultra active lifestyle kept me from putting on unwanted pounds. I am 6'2" tall and I was a trim, toned 180 pounds for a long, long time.

Then I started a business, and we had a child, then a second, and then a third. I love my job and love my children, but 5 weekly workouts turned into three, then one, then zero. In addition, my kids didn't finish all of their macaroni and cheese. Later, they left behind a chicken nugget. Wow, it had been a long time since I tasted such good food, so a bite here or a nugget there couldn't hurt, right?

Well, my 33" pants turned to 34" and later 36" in the waist. One day, driving home from the zoo with the family, my wife pointed at my growing belly as it protruded over the seat belt in our family hauling minivan and she said, "so how big are you going to let that thing get before you do something about it?". My once flat stomach had become "that thing". What a horrible wake up call.

I soon switched to protein bars and nightly sit ups and crunches, waiting for "that thing" to start shrinking. I couldn't wait to get back into my old pants that had slowly worked their way to the bottom of my dresser drawer or the hangars in the back of my closet. However, nothing was working. I humbly realized that I needed guidance and started doing some research.

I soon learned that:

1) Many so-called "health foods" like my protein bars are cleverly disguised junk foods that may actually stimulate more fat production.

2) Crunches, situps, and ab machines are actually some of the least effective exercises for shrinking your gut.

3) Boring repetitive cardio exercises are not necessarily quick ways to lose your gut.

4) Fat burning pills and most powders are a waste of money and many natural foods are more effective and less costly.

5) Most of the ab-belts, ab-rockers, ab-anything that you see on TV are bogus gimmicks and the models on the infomercials never used the products. They obtained their results through real diet and workout plans.

So darn, I couldn't find any shortcuts and I had to really invest some time in figuring out how to do this the right way. I went to a local gym where a trainer tried to sell me on a series of personal training sessions. Oh, this was after going through an embarrassing session of pulling up my shirt for the "before" measurements with a fat caliper. Driving home after my free first session, I was more sore than I had been in years and I sure didn't want to pay 50 dollars per hour to get killed by a 25 year old who took too much pleasure in what to him seemed like my "old age".

You know what I finally did? I slowed down and took things one step at a time. By learning how to get my diet straightened out by eating more natural foods and COOKING, I started to feel a little better. Then I discovered some really simple exercises focusing on my large muscle groups and my core section, I started to feel a little tighter. Combining this with some realistic and consistent (and moderate) cardio exercises that didn't take more than 20 minutes per day, I actually started to lose the gut, as well as develop some of my old muscle tone. I'm back into a 34" waist on the pants, which works for me and the wife thinks highly of, so I'll be OK if I don't get back to the 33's.

Take your time, save your money, and take things one day at a time, and you too will achieve the results you seek. Also, pick a program that works for you. It's not so much the program as it is getting something that will give you realistic goals so that you can hold yourself accountable. After a while, it becomes a habit and then a lifestyle. You'll feel great and you'll be around longer to enjoy your kids (or grandkids).

Be smart, be safe, and good luck!

How Laser Cutting Machines Work

Laser cutters work by focusing a beam of light, or laser, on a focused site on a piece of material in order to slice through it rather than using a solid object, like a blade, to cut the object. A computer system enabled with vector graphical software is also necessary. Commands are given to the laser cutter through software which translates design geometry to numerical CNC machine code. A laser can also take input from drawings developed with the aid of computer-aided design (CAD) software.

Laser Cutting Machine Configurations

The configurations of the machine are defined based on the way the laser beam will hit the object to be cut. There are three main configurations that act on two axes, the X and the Y. The first configuration is referred to as moving material. In this setup, the material to be cut is put beneath the cutter head. The second configuration is the hybrid laser. The table and the cutter head operate in opposing directions, giving the best stability of the beam’s path. The third configuration is the flying optic configuration, employed by Maloya, where the cutting head is the piece of the machine that is moving. The object being cut is static and this type of setup creates neat work. Its rate of motion is also the fastest among the three setups. The flying optic system also does not require clamping down the material being cut, aiding in the speed of the workflow. There are also machines utilizing up to six axes.

Workflow with Laser Cutting Technology

Loading and unloading can take up valuable production time but the speed of laser cutting can make up for this. The unnecessary need for material clamping can also save time. Another consideration is if the laser cutter can be left on. Workers may have to turn off the power to take materials out of the machine and interrupt the flow of cutting.

Lighting is also important in a manufacturing environment. Light emitting diode (LED) lighting is becoming more popular for saving energy. More green ways of lighting these types of environments are becoming available such as controlling lighting with fluorescent lights by having them turn off through motion sensors.

Laser Cutting Equipment and Maintenance

With the money spent on laser cutting machines, sufficient upkeep can ensure that they operate optimally and safely. Undesirable cuts can be produced if the machine is not running at its peak performance level. Process control such as checking cutting nozzles, lenses and additional optics should be done on a frequent basis. Simply making regular checks on their alignment can save many headaches later. Air sources can affect focal lenses of the laser cutter. Making sure the lenses are clean is of utmost importance. Operators can tell if a focal lens is dirty by visual inspection and checking it with a polarizer. A lens can then be cleaned with alcohol and fine tissue or replaced. Laser optical components are in the category of consumables. Maintenance of chiller units is also important. They should be started prior to cutting. A laser cutter will not be as fast if it has not been maintained. Replaceable parts should also be kept available if they are needed. Keep exhaust systems up to par as well.

Training on Laser Cutting Systems

Laser cutter training should include hands-on and classroom training. It should involve basic operation of the laser cutter such as how to start and shut down the machine, how to properly use the cutter and programming of the machine, safety and maintenance. Oftentimes the supplier of a machine will provide training to the purchaser. Other training involves how to create drawings and load them into the laser machine, scaling, and rotation. Other things to be learned are file usage, code, databases, laser tables and metrics. Users of laser cutters should also understand CAD and computers. One should understand how to measure thicknesses of materials in relation to whether the laser cutters can cut them effectively. A user should also be able to read blueprints. Users need to be trained in quality control and geometric tolerance to know the how precise the laser cutter can get. Material Requirements Planning (MRP) involves planning everything needed for a job as well as inventory taking. Software is used for these tasks. Proper training on these systems is essential as the common problem with them is the data often is erroneous. Some of these errors can be eliminated through training.

One should be able to use measuring tools such as calipers or a vernier caliper which can offer more accurate measurements. Other basic tools someone should be able to use are a ruler, protractor, compass and basic mathematical tools.

Quality Control

In order to keep improving workflow processes, Corrective Action Requests (CARs) and Corrective Action Notifications (CANs) can be done. This involves problem reporting, the cause of the problem, and future problem preventions. There is workflow quality management software that will handle this. For example, if something happens, a notification in a certain form such as an email will go out to a person who handles that problem. The action will then be taken to correct the problem.

Much knowledge and skill is needed to use a laser cutter. Having the wherewithal to operate the laser cutter correctly in a proper environment will keep a machine working optimally on many projects for a long time to come.

is it dangerous to drive with a sticking caliper?

i have been having many problems with my front left tire for a while now. I was supposed to my car fixed in september but i had to let someone borrow my money which i will be getting next week. i think its the caliper sticking cuase my tire over heats and everything. i have been driving like this for a the past few months. but while im driving the caliper lets up at some point. my car has taken a turn for the worst! the calliper wont even let up while im driving and its only on one tire. I can hear it grinding. Is it to dangerous drive right now? meaning will my caliper and router and all that good stuff pop off while im driving???? help plzz!

The longer you drive it the more expense it will be to fix. You need to replace the rotor and caliper and disc pads. If it's the front you need to replace both sides. If it is the rear you'll need to do both sides. I'm surprized it hasn't totally locked up on you. Get it fixed as soon as possible before it becomes really dangerous.
