What Is Laser Lamination?

A laser is a short form that stands for “Light Amplified by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation.” When the words are pulled out slowly, they explain how the narrow coherent beams of light are spread by the process of light stimulation. Light is concentrated to emerge as a powerful beam. The laser has facilitated many engineering operations which would have been impossible before its discovery, among them is lamination. Lamination is the process by which several layers are assembled to come up with an improved composite material that has improved qualities like stability, and improved strength.

Laser lamination thus is an engineering technique where the laser is used to bond different layers of material to produce a material of improved quality and strength. The laser is loaded with atoms that are either liquids, gasses or solids. The atoms should have electrons that can be stimulated. The atoms are excited with a burst of energy such that the electron comes back after hitting the body. The above technique has a wide range of applications such as: Abrasion The white colored marks formed when a coated surface is hit with a laser that removes a layer of material. The marks that result occur when the laser energy evaporates or sublimates part of the material, typically with very little surface penetration. In digital printing The above technique can be used to custom digital graphics. The printing graphics increases the value and quality of the print. The popularity of digital printing has heightened over traditional printing because of its flexibility. Laminate on the image prevents it from fading and helps it to resist moisture. Used in steel manufacturing for finishing Blemishes on steel sheets are removed by applying the laser to fill them in molten form. For example anodized engraving, Refurbishing old laminates The technique can be used to recoat old out -of-spec motors to ensure the equipment is back to its original specifications. There are obviously a number of uses for laser lamination today that several industries can benefit from.

When I was a youngster I never fully understood the differences between wines besides the color. This is a great resources for wine newbies or old people who've forgotten the difference.

I know there are a ton of these lists, but this was actually really helpful! I especially liked the 3rd point. THINK CREATIVELY!

I've been wanting to start writing more and these tips have really helped inspire my vision of what MY book idea could actually turn into.

One of Brad Pitt's best roles in my opinion was Snatch, where he plays a gypsy/madman/bare knuckled boxer with the world's coolest accent.

For no reason at all this has become a major part of the lexicon of me, my friends, my co-workers and anyone who is even a remote acquaintance of me whenever a dog is mentioned.

Probably because, we, like most people just love dogs. A co-worker brought up cats the other day and how she felt a cat was a superior pet to a dog and she got reamed pretty severely from all sides. There are no advantages to a cat unless you really don't want a pet. Sure, you can leave a cat home for a month - that's because you don't care about it and it doesn't care about you.

It's like saying a plant is superior to a child. Don't get me wrong, I don't like or want kids, but my reasoning is because I don't want to take care of a kid. If I claimed I did and then talked on the benefits of owning a plant over a child I'd be a hypocrite. No?

Yes.

Now, if you have a family, here's a good post on dog stuff.

Daily Taters Gets Decked Out In OU Sooners Garbs

Holy crap. I read a post a while back on someone getting free stuff to review from an Oklahoma Sooners store and I figured it was a hoax. I sent them an email and asked and lo and behold, I got the same offer. While they wouldn't open up their coffers to everything I wanted, they did let me choose from a few items as long as I was willing to give them a review on my blog and I was like...YEAH.

So I had to sift through my options and after some back and forth I settled on a few different items - first, I was looking for some Oklahoma jewelry, but had a hard time getting them to say yes to my first choices. Eventually, I went for this guy right here:

It's a little smaller than what I thought it would be, so people don't tend to notice the logo until they get closer, but it's still a nice piece of jewelry.

The I wanted something I could wear with dress clothes so I had to choose from a nice selection of University of Oklahoma watches and eventually chose one that went with the rest of my jewelry.

This style is known as the Eclipse and I absolutely love it. The silver faux chain goes well with a lot of my other jewelry. The only complaint is the face can be a bit hard to read if you're a little near sighted like I am.

All in all, very happy with my purchase and I highly recommend Sooner Planet!

Right now I feel like there’s no holidays happening, and there won’t be any in the near future either. That shouldn’t stop you from thinking about your friends and family and surprising them with Amazon gift cards!

Why gift cards? Because they can be spent on just about anything, and why...

Guest Posting For Blogs

Writing for someone else's blog isn't nearly as hard as it sounds. Just take a look at this financial blog. They're looking for people to write about Financial related topics for their blog. So why do blogs do this? Many blogs get to the point where they can't keep up with writing fresh content on a regular basis, and try and enlist the help of other talented writers. What do these writers get in exchange? A valuable link with their choice of anchor text from a website with great authority. This passes along link juice, which is seen in the eyes of Google as great, and shazam, the writer's website starts showing up higher in Google search results.

There's so many blogs about different topics, it's not hard to find one that you could easily write for. Is tourism or traveling your thing? Then trying writing for this tourism blog. Even if you don't have any guest posting experience, and you could write about anything, then write for this generic blog, which will take any content as long as it isn't spammy and is of relatively good quality.

Target

Banana Republic

Best Buy

Macy’s

Nordstrom

Pretty sure this should have ripped a hole in the space time continuum. Too much awesome in one place.

The number of 25-game winners, per decade, in baseball history.

The Detroit Tigers’ Justin Verlander sits at 23 wins with two games to go (against Oakland and Baltimore, sub-.500 ball clubs). How impressive is 25-wins in this Sabremetric Era? The New York Times explains:

Before the turn of the 20th century, 25-game winners were quite common; 99 of the 177 pitchers who won 25 in a season did so before 1900. That trend peaked in 1884 — 21 pitchers reached the quarter-century mark that year — and has been declining ever since. By the time baseball’s modern two-league structure was established in 1901, only a handful of pitchers were winning 25 games each season, and in the live-ball era no more than three pitchers have won 25 games in any season.

Already dwindling in numbers, the 25-game winner became a dying breed in the latter third of the 20th century, as the rise of the reliever, combined with pitcher-unfriendly conditions (a lower mound, smaller ballparks and hitters’ use of performance-enhancing drugs), gave ace starters fewer chances to win than ever before.

As it currently stands, Bob Welch is the only 25-game winner in the past 31 seasons, having won 27 in 1990, and only two pitchers (John Smoltz and Randy Johnson) have even reached 24 wins in the intervening years. Given the era in which Verlander pitches, 25 wins would be an impressive statistical achievement.

This guy right here is one of the classiest, smartest, most well-spoken and well-rounded human beings to ever step foot on a baseball field and even if he can’t hit lefties, he’s still one hell of a ballplayer.

He’s always been “My Tiger” and, even though he is now a member of every baseball fan’s archenemy, I wish him infinitely more success, money and fame. He deserves it.

Treat him well New York. They don’t make ‘em like this kid anymore.

(With all that said, I think this is a fantastic deal for the Tigers and I’m ecstatic they made it. We get back three pitchers who will help fill the gaps of the bullpen and starting rotation, and have a pretty good young prospect at center. We’ll be ok Tiger fans.)
