Apply for this job Return to Job Listings
Job Description
Smart Manufacturing in the Age of Digitalization
MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems) software, valued as a $7.63B market in 2015, is expected to reach $18.22B by 2022, an annualized growth rate of 13.6%.
With over 8 million CNC machine tools in the United States (and only about 5% digitally connected), your opportunity is just beginning.
Our Client – Your Future Team
With one of the strongest MES software packages in the market, our client is adding 3 Sales Executives to their team: (1) Northeast – for aerospace, (2) Detroit – for automotive, and (3) Chicago, Cincinnati, or Atlanta – general manufacturing.
Our client's software, as you read this, is optimizing machining operations all across the world in such notable accounts as:
- Pratt and Whitney
- Chrysler
- GKN Aerospace
- Borg Warner, and many others.
A recent study of 9,000 professionals by Glassdoor reveals the three top reasons people are making career changes are: challenge and/or advancement, cultural fit, and the opportunity to increase their earnings. Our client offers all three.
- Challenge – CEOs are driven by the two primary objectives of reducing costs and improving efficiencies. The challenge this role provides to you is developing and executing the strategy you develop for penetrating the markets in your area.
- Culture – CARE (Continuous improvement, Accountability, Respect, Empowerment)
- Income – strong base salary with a lucrative incentive program
What you will do:
Bringing your expertise in selling enterprise software systems (or other manufacturing software), proven knowledge of your identified market space, and ability to quantify ROI, you'll call "from the shop floor to the top floor," primarily on discrete manufacturing.

Your MES software analyzes each machine's performance increasing throughput, improving quality, and coordinating production plant wide. Key operational metrics such as overall equipment effectiveness, machine uptime, and capacity utilization allow production managers to quickly view the performance of a particular machine or factory, and adjust as needed.
With leads provided from inside sales and business development (along with leads you develop yourself), you'll develop the opportunity with a trial of 3 machines (supported by an implementation team). As value is achieved and documented, your mission is to take the application from the 3 machines (CNC, robotic assembly, line of machines to the full site, multiple sites, and ultimately, globally.
Payback is generally achievable in less than 4-months with an ROI often greater than 300%.
What's in it for you?
- Strong base salary ($85k to $100k, DOE), plus highly incentivized bonus program. Realistic 2nd year income is $150k to $200k.
- Comprehensive and ongoing training enabling you to be the best-of-the-best in the industry.
- Opportunity to be on the early and leading edge of IoT (the internet of things)
- Currently, the US Managing Director is also the Sales Manager. As the team grows, our client would like to promote someone into the North American Sales Manager's role by the 2019 – 2020 time frame.
- 4-year degree in engineering sciences – examples include automation, manufacturing, systems, industrial
- 10+ years B2B software sales into manufacturing. Software packages such as ERP, MES, PLM, TDM, CAQ.
- Deep understanding of industrial production processes along with production automation, measurement technology, and/or other IT systems for production control.

- Upper Midwest (anywhere within 150-mile of Detroit) – Automotive
- Chicago, Cincinnati, or Atlanta – discrete manufacturing, in general
- Soft-skills to include personal accountability, goal orientation, drive, and desire to be the best in the business for yourself, your customers, and our client

Materials and Construction
Materials and Construction
The material and shape of a pipe has a profound influence upon the aesthetics and smoking qualities. Tobacco pipes come in many shapes and styles. For an excellent overview of these shapes see Pipe Shapes by Bill Burney.
Parts Nomenclature
Bill Burney and A.S.P. have kindly permitted us to use the A.S.P. Pipe Parts Charts showing the parts and nomenclature of the pipe:
The basis for this section is from the Wikipedia entry Smoking Pipe (tobacco).
A Comprehensive list of Pipe maker material and suppliers can be found here: Materials and Supplies
The majority of pipes sold today, whether hand made or machine made, are fashioned from briar. Briar is a particularly good wood for pipe making for a number of reasons. The first and most important is its natural resistance to fire. The second is its inherent ability to absorb moisture. The burl absorbs water in nature to supply the tree in the dry times and likewise will absorb the moisture that is a byproduct of combustion. Briar is cut from the root burl of the heath tree (Erica arborea), which is native to the rocky and sandy soils of the Mediterranean region. Briar burls are cut into two types of blocks; ebauchon and plateaux. Ebauchon is taken from the heart of the burl while plateaux is taken from the outer part of the burl. While both types of blocks can produce pipes of the highest quality, most artisan pipe makers prefer to use plateaux because of its superior graining.- Characteristics Of Briar is a very thorough and interesting research paper in .pdf format by G. Tsoumis, N. Kezos, I Fanariotou, E. Voulgaridis, and C. Passialis documenting the various characteristics of briar.
- See, My Visit to A Briar Sawmill, What Makes a Good Briar Pipe, The Art of Sandblasting, and Curing all excellent articles by R.D. Field. Also see 100 Year Old Briar?. Also Trever Talbert's excellent blog posts[1] Sandblasting - Circles and Shanks and How to Read your Sandblast.
- R.C. Hamlin has also written an interesting article on this subject called The Briar Factor.
- So you think you're a "Briar Afficionado"? This is a short but extremely informative article by Rainer Barbi available here: The Briar Saga Page 1 & The Briar Saga Page 2.
Alternative Woods Used For Pipe making
Although briar pipes are by far the most popular, various other woods are also used by pipe makers (one example would be cherry wood). See Alternative Woods Used For Pipe making for a list of the many wood types and examples of pipes made with these woods. Many thanks to pipe maker Elie for suggesting this section. Also see Pipes in Other Woods an article written for The Collector by Tim Fuller. Also see Vecchie tradizioni contadine
Also see Other Materials section in, in the "Stummels" section in "Pipe Making"
Meerschaum (hydrated magnesium silicate), a mineral found in small shallow deposits mainly around the city of Eskişehir in central Turkey, is prized for its plasticity which allows it to be carved into many decorative and figural shapes. It was used as early as the 17th century in Turkey in the production of various utilitarian articles, but the first use as a pipe was not earlier than, according to translated documents, about 1725-1750. Along with clay, meerschaum represented the other common medium for pipes before the introduction of briar as the material of choice in the mid-19th century. See Antique Meerschaum Pipes and Materiali Fossili, Schiuma di mare
The word "meerschaum" means "sea foam" in German, alluding to its natural white color and its surprisingly low weight. Meerschaum is a very porous mineral that absorbs elements of the tobacco during the smoking process, and gradually changes color to a golden brown. Old, well-smoked meerschaum pipes are prized for their distinctive coloring.
In selecting a meerschaum pipe it is advisable to determine if the pipe is indeed carved from a block of meerschaum, and is not made from meerschaum dust collected after carving and mixed with an emulsifier then pressed into a pipe shape. These products are not absorbent, do not color, and lack the smoking quality of the block carved pipe. It is not always obvious. Some collectors believe that some pipes marked "solid block meerschaum" may not be genuine. With no uniform grading authority, it is difficult to be sure in the case of an unknown maker, unless you are purchasing it from a trusted, well informed tobacconist. Be wary of inexpensive pipes from untrusted sources. Also look for the quality of the carving. Better carvers are unlikely to waste time carving composite meerschaum.
Morta, also known as Bog Oak or Abonos, is another form of wood used to make tobacco pipes. This wood, however, has been preserved by being buried in peat bogs, sometimes for hundreds of years or more. The material represents the early stages of wood's fossilization, and as a result the material is nearly 12% mineral in content, making it highly resistant to burnout. It is also praised for a neutral taste caused by the removal of all tannins, resins and the like from the wood during its long period of submersion.Clay
Clay in this case is almost always a very fine white clay. Low-quality "clay" pipes are actually made from porcelain forming techniques known as slip, and poured into a mold. These are porous, of very low quality, and impart unwanted flavors to a smoke. Top-notch clays, on the other hand are made in a labor-intensive process that requires beating all air out of the clay, hand-rolling each pipe before molding it, piercing with a fine wire, and careful firing. Traditionally, clay pipes are unglazed. Clays burn "hot" in comparison to other types of pipes, so they are often difficult for most pipe-smokers to use. Their proponents claim that, unlike other materials, a well-made clay pipe gives a "pure" smoke, with no flavor addition from the pipe bowl. In addition to aficionados, reproductions of historical clay styles are used by some Historical re-enactors. Clay pipes were once considered disposable items and the large quantities discarded in the past are often used as an aid in dating by industrial archaeologists.The Hungarian clay pipe is famous. The illustration (to the left) is a 19th Cent. example with the seal of the town of Selmec on the front. The seal represents two salamanders which legend tells us led residences to the gold deposits. Hammer and pick are also represented. These clays represent an entirely different clay pipe tradition from the English clay pipes. These shapes are based on Turkish clay pipes which entered Europe from the East.

Calabash gourds (usually with meerschaum or porcelain bowls set inside them) have long made prized pipes, but they are labour-intensive and nowadays quite expensive. Because of this expense, pipes with bodies made of wood (usually mahogany) instead of gourd, but the same classic shape are sold as calabashes. Both wood and gourd pipes are functionally the same. They both have an air chamber beneath the bowl which serves to cool, dry, and mellow the smoke. There are also briar pipes being sold as calabashes. These typically do not have an air chamber and are named only because of their external shape.
The construction of a calabash pipe generally consists of a downward curve that ends with an upcurve where the bowl sits. This low center of gravity allows for the user to easily hold the pipe by the mouth alone, leaving his hands free. This advantage was often used by actors who wanted to depict their character smoking while permitting them to do other business simultaneously. That is why the character Sherlock Holmes, who never used this kind of pipe in the stories, is stereotypically depicted as favoring it because early dramatic productions, especially those starring William Gillette and Basil Rathbone, made this artistic decision. In fact, Holmes, who preferred very harsh tobacco, would probably have disliked the calabash because of the above-mentioned mellowing effect.
Gourds specifically intended for pipemaking are usually "hand trained" while they are still green & growing. Every few days, after the fruit has begun to develop, the grower will bend the "neck" of the gourd, until it has formed into a near semi-circle. These are mainly grown in South Africa.
Family: Cucurbitaceae (koo-ker-bih-TAY-see-ay); Genus: Lagenaria (lag-en-AR-ee-uh); Species: Siceraria (sy-ker-AR-ee-uh); Cultivar: Dipper(?)
Calabash Interpretations: Also popular with some collectors are Calabash shaped briar pipes, or Calabash interpretations. Fred Heim has written an interesting article on collecting these called Calabash, Calabash, Wherefore Art Thou Calabash?, The Genesis of a Collecting Motif By Fred Heim, with photography by Joe Harb.
On the other end of the scale, "corncob" pipes made from maize cobs are cheap and effective, even if some regard them as inelegant. The cobs are first dried for two years. Then they are hollowed out to make a bowl shape. The bowls are dipped in a plaster-based mixture and varnished or lacquered on the outside. Shanks made from pine wood are then inserted into the bowls. The first and largest manufacturer of corncob pipes is Missouri Meerschaum, located in Washington, Missouri in the United States.[2]. Missouri Meerschaum has produced the pipes since 1869. General Douglas MacArthur and George Lincoln Rockwell were perhaps the most famous smokers of this type of pipe, along with the cartoon characters Popeye and Frosty the Snowman.Corncob pipes remain popular today because they are inexpensive and require no "break-in" period like briar pipes. For these two reasons, corncob pipes are often recommended as a "Beginners pipe." But, their enjoyment is by no means limited to beginners. Corncob pipes are equally valued by both learners, and experienced smokers who simply desire a cool, clean smoke. Pipe smokers who wish to sample a wide variety of different tobaccos and blends also might keep a stock of corncobs on hand to permit them to try new flavors without "carryover" from an already-used pipe, or to keep a potentially bad tasting tobacco from adding its flavor to a more expensive or favored pipe.

Metal pipes often incorporate means of trapping moisture that can cool the smoke before it reaches the mouth. Some say this can reduce the "Bite" and make smoking more enjoyable. Kirsten and Falcon pipes are still in production and deliver an excellent smoke.

the pipe (pyrolytic graphite/phenolic resin)
In 1963, Super-Temp Corporation began making plastic pipes with pyrolytic graphite bowl liners. They were called the pipe. In 1965, Super-Temp contracted to market their unique pipes through Venturi, Inc., the company which sold Tar Gard cigarette filters. Colors and stripes began to be offered circa 1967. About 1970, THE SMOKE pipes were added to the line - they were non-traditional shapes with a less expensive bowl liner. Venturi pipes were added around 1972 - they had no liner in the bowls at all. The pipes were out of production by 1975.See the excellent the pipe website by Billie W. Taylor II, Ph.D

Royalist (Spanish American independence)
The royalists were the Latin American and European supporters of the various governing bodies of the Spanish Monarchy, during the Spanish American wars of independence, which lasted from 1808 until the king's death in 1833. In the early years of the conflict, when King Ferdinand VII was captive in France, royalists supported the authority in the Americas of the Supreme Central Junta of Spain and the Indies and the Cádiz Cortes that ruled in the King's name during the Peninsular War. After the restoration of Ferdinand VII in 1814, royalists supported his claim to rule Spanish America, but were split between those that supported his insistence to rule under traditional law and liberals, who sought to reinstate the reforms enacted by the Cádiz Cortes.
Political evolution[edit]
The creation of juntas in Spanish America in 1810 was a direct reaction to developments in Spain during the previous two years. In 1808 Ferdinand VII had been convinced to abdicate by Napoleon in his favor, who granted the throne to his brother, Joseph Bonaparte. The Supreme Central Junta had led a resistance to Joseph's government and the French occupation of Spain, but suffered a series of reverses resulting in the loss of the northern half of the country. On February 1, 1810, French troops took Seville and gained control of most of Andalusia. The Supreme Junta retreated to Cadiz and dissolved itself in favor of a Regency Council of Spain and the Indies. As news of this arrived throughout Spanish America during the next three weeks to nine months—depending on time it took goods and people to travel from Spain—political fault lines appeared. Royal officials and Spanish Americans were split between those who supported the idea of maintaining the status quo—that is leaving all the government institutions and officers in place—regardless of the developments in Spain, and those who thought that the time had come to establish local rule, initially through the creation of juntas, in order to preserve the independence of Spanish America from the French or from a rump government in Spain that could no longer legitimately claim to rule a vast empire. It is important to note that, at first, the juntas claimed to carry out their actions in the name of the deposed king and did not formally declare independence. Juntas were successfully established in Venezuela, Río de la Plata and New Granada, and there were unsuccessful movements to do so in other regions. A few juntas initially chose to recognize the Regency, nevertheless the creation of juntas challenged the authority of all sitting royal officials and the right of the government in Spain to rule in the Americas.
In the months following the establishment of the Regency, it became clear that Spain was not lost, and furthermore the government was effectively reconstituting itself. The Regency successfully convened the Cortes Generales, the traditional parliament of the Spanish Monarchy, which in this case included representatives from the Americas. The Regency and Cortes began issuing orders to, and appointing, royal officials throughout the empire. Those who supported the new government came to be called "royalists." Those that supported the idea of maintaining independent juntas called themselves "patriots," and a few among them were proponents of declaring full, formal independence from Spain. As the Cortes instituted liberal reforms and worked on drafting a constitution, a new division appeared among royalists. Conservatives (often called "absolutists" in the historiography) did not want to see any innovations in government, while liberals supported them. These differences would become more acute after the restoration of Ferdinand VII, because the king opted to support the conservative position.[1]
Role of regional rivalry[edit]
Regional rivalry also played an important role in the internecine wars that broke out in Spanish America as a result of the juntas. The disappearance of a central, imperial authority—and in some cases of even a local, viceregal authority (as in the cases of New Granada and Río de la Plata)—initiated a prolonged period of balkanization in many regions of Spanish America. It was not clear which political units which should replace the empire, and there were no new national identities to replace the traditional sense of being Spaniards. The original juntas of 1810 appealed first, to sense of being Spanish, which was juxtaposed against the French threat; second, to a general American identity, which was juxtaposed against the Peninsula which was lost to the French; and third, to a sense of belonging to the local province, the patria in Spanish.[2] More often than not, juntas sought to maintain a province's independence from the capital of the former viceroyalty or captaincy general, as much as from the Peninsula itself. Armed conflicts broke out between the provinces over the question of whether some provinces were to be subordinate to others in the manner that they had been under the crown. This phenomenon was particularly evident in New Granada and Río de la Plata. This rivalry also lead some regions to adopt the opposing political cause from their rivals. Peru seems to have remained strongly royalist in large part because of its rivalry with Río de la Plata, to which it had lost control of Upper Peru when the latter was elevated to a viceroyalty in 1776. The creation of juntas in Río de la Plata allowed Peru to regain formal control of Upper Peru for the duration of the wars.[3]
Restoration of Ferdinand VII[edit]
The restoration of Ferdinand VII signified an important change, since most of the political and legal changes done on both sides of the Atlantic—the myriad of juntas, the Cortes in Spain and several of the congresses in the Americas that evolved out of the juntas, and the many constitutions and new legal codes—had been done in his name. Once in Spain Ferdinand VII realized that he had significant support from conservatives in the general population and the hierarchy of the Spanish Catholic Church, and so on May 4, he repudiated the Spanish Constitution of 1812 and ordered the arrest of liberal leaders who had created it on May 10. Ferdinand justified his actions by stating that the Constitution and other changes had been made by a Cortes assembled in his absence and without his consent. He also declared all of the juntas and constitutions written in Spanish America invalid and restored the former law codes and political institutions.[4]
This, in effect, constituted a definitive break with two groups that could have been allies of Ferdinand VII: the autonomous governments, which had not yet declared formal independence, and Spanish liberals who had created a representative government that would fully include the overseas possessions and was seen as an alternative to independence by many in New Spain (today Mexico), Central America, the Caribbean, Venezuela, Quito (Ecuador), Peru, Upper Peru (Bolivia) and Chile. Most Spanish Americans were moderates who decided to wait and see what would come out of the restoration of normalcy. In fact in areas of New Spain, Central America and Quito, governors found it expedient to leave the elected constitutional ayuntamientos in place for several years in order to prevent conflict with the local society.[5] Liberals on both sides of the Atlantic, nevertheless, continued to conspire to bring back a constitutional monarchy, ultimately succeeding in 1820. The most dramatic example of transAtlantic collaboration is perhaps Francisco Javier Mina's expedition to Texas and northern Mexico in 1816 and 1817.
Spanish Americans in royalist areas who were committed to independence had already joined guerrilla movements. Ferdinand's actions did set areas outside of the control of the royalist armies on the path to full independence. The governments of these regions, which had their origins in the juntas of 1810—and even moderates there who had entertained a reconciliation with the crown—now saw the need to separate from Spain, if they were to protect the reforms they had enacted.[6]
Restoration of the Spanish Constitution and independence[edit]
Spanish liberals finally had success in forcing Ferdinand VII to restore the Constitution on January 1, 1820, when Rafael Riego headed a rebellion among troops which had been gathered for a large expeditionary force to be sent to the Americas. By March 7, the royal palace in Madrid was surrounded by soldiers under the command of General Francisco Ballesteros, and three days later on March 10, the besieged Ferdinand VII, now a virtual prisoner, agreed to restore the Constitution.[7]
Riego's revolt had two significant effects on the war in the Americas. First in military matters, the large numbers of reinforcements, that were especially needed to retake New Granada and defend the Viceroyalty of Peru, would never arrive. Furthermore, as the royalist situation became more desperate in region after region, the army experienced wholesale defections of units to the patriot side. Second in political matters, the reinstitution of a liberal regime changed the terms under which the Spanish government sought to engage the insurgents. The new government naively assumed that the insurgents were fighting for Spanish liberalism and that the Spanish Constitution could still be the basis of reconciliation between the two sides. Government implemented the Constitution and held elections in the overseas provinces, just as in Spain. It also ordered military commanders to begin armistice negotiations with the insurgents with the promise that they could participate in the restored representative government.[8]
The Spanish Constitution, it turned out, served as the basis for independence in New Spain and Central America, since in the two regions it was a coalition of conservative and liberal royalist leaders who led the establishment of new states. The restoration of the Spanish Constitution and representative government was enthusiastically welcomed in New Spain and Central America. Elections were held, local governments formed and deputies sent to the Cortes. Among liberals, however, there was fear that the new regime would not last, and among conservatives and the Church, that the new liberal government would expand its reforms and anti-clerical legislation. This climate of instability created the conditions for the two sides to forge an alliance. This alliance coalesced towards the end of 1820 behind Agustín de Iturbide, a colonel in the royal army, who at the time was assigned to destroy the guerrilla forces led by Vicente Guerrero. Instead Iturbide entered into negotiations, which resulted in the Plan of Iguala, which would establish New Spain as an independent kingdom, with Ferdinand VII as its king. With the Treaty of Córdoba, the highest Spanish official in Mexico approved the Plan of Iguala, and although the Spanish government never ratified this treaty, it did not have the resources to enforce its rejection. Ultimately, it was the royal army in Mexico that ultimately brought about that nation's independence.[9]
Central America gained its independence along with New Spain. The regional elites supported the terms of the Plan of Iguala and orchestrated the union of Central America with the Mexican Empire in 1821. Two years later following Iturbide's downfall, the region, with the exception of Chiapas, peacefully seceded from Mexico in July 1823, establishing the Federal Republic of Central America. The new state existed for seventeen years, centrifugal forces pulling the individual provinces apart by 1840.[10]
In South America independence was spurred by the pro-independence fighters that had held out for the past half decade. José de San Martín and Simón Bolívar inadvertently led a continental-wide pincer movement from southern and northern South America that liberated most of the Spanish American nations on that continent and secured the independence the Southern Cone had more or less experienced since 1810. In South America, royalist soldiers, officers (such as Andrés de Santa Cruz) and whole units also began to desert or defect to the patriots in large numbers as the royal army's situation became dire. During the end of 1820 in Venezuela, after Bolívar and Pablo Morillo concluded a cease fire, many units crossed lines knowing that Spanish control of the region would not last. The situation repeated itself in Peru from 1822 to 1825 as republican forces slowly advanced there. Unlike in Mexico, however, the top military and political leadership in these parts of South America came from patriot side and not the royalists.
The collapse of the constitutional regime in Spain in 1823 had other implications for the war in South America. Royalist officers, split between liberals and conservatives, fought an internecine war among themselves. General Pedro Antonio Olañeta, commander in Upper Peru, rebelled against the liberal viceroy of Peru, José de la Serna, in 1823. This conflict provided an opportunity for the republican forces under the command of Bolívar and Antonio José de Sucre to advance, culminating in the Battle of Ayacucho on December 9, 1824. The royal army of Upper Peru surrendered after Olañeta was killed on April 2, 1825. Former royalists, however, played an important part in the creation of Peru and Bolivia. In Bolivia, royalists, like Casimiro Olañeta, nephew of General Olañeta, gathered in a congress and declared the country's independence from Peru. And in Peru after Bolívar's forces left the country in 1827, Peruvian leaders undid many of his political reforms.
Royalist army[edit]
There are two types of units: expeditionary units ( in Spanish: expedicionarios) created in Spain and militias (in Spanish: milicias), units which already existed or were created during the conflict in America. The militias, which were composed wholly of militiamen who were residents or natives of Spanish America, were bolstered by the presence of "veteran units" (or "disciplined militia") composed of Peninsular and Spanish American veterans of Spain's wars in Europe and around the globe. The veteran units were expected to form a core of experienced soldiers in the local defenses, whose expertise would be invaluable to the regular militiamen who often lacked sustained military experience, if any. The veteran units were created in the past century as part of the Bourbon Reforms to reinforce Spanish America's defenses against the increasing encroachment of other European powers, such as during the Seven Years' War.
Overall, Europeans formed only about a tenth of the royalist armies in Spanish America, and only about half of the expeditionary units. Since each European soldier casualty was substituted by a Spanish American soldier, over time, there were more and more Spanish American soldiers in the expeditionary units. For example, Pablo Morillo, commander in chief in Venezuela and New Granada, reported that he only had 2,000 European soldiers, in other words, only half of the soldiers of his expeditionary force were European. It is estimated that in the Battle of Maipú only a quarter of the royalist forces were European soldiers, in the Battle of Carabobo about a fifth, and in the Battle of Ayacucho less than 1% was European.
The American militias reflected the racial make-up of the local population. For example, in 1820 the royalist army in Venezuela had 843 white (español), 5,378 Casta and 980 Native soldiers.

On Nov. 18 the Little Falls Police Department responded to a call that a large SpongeBob was missing from the top of the Burger King Restaurant. In place of SpongeBob was a ransom note stating in part, We have SpongeBob. Give us 10 crabby patties, fries and milk shakes, signed Plankton. The note also warned Patrick is next. According to members of the Little Falls Police Department, Plankton always wants the recipe for crabby patties and he is unable to attain it. Patrick is SpongeBobs sidekick. The investigation continues. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Burger Kings SpongeBob is asked to contact the Little Falls Police Department at 320-616-5570.

Well… Usually I get all my lumber free. Needed to buy some plywood though. That's one thing I never find free. So I went to Lowes and bought me a sheet of 1/4 pine ply. Wasnt sure of the exact dimensions (plus I don't trust their measuring). So instead I just had them cut it in half for easier transport. Ugh! Yep… I was unloading it and it slipped. It sliced two of my fingers. Although the pointer finger was a small slice… It's like a dang paper cut. It stings like crazy. There was a nice splinter in there. Wondering if a piece is still in There. The other one that bled doesn't hurt at all. Next time… I will wear gloves. I guess if I'm going to be injured in my shop… This is much better than other possibilities. PS… As you can see…. I don't have girly hands. Especially after working in the shop all day. |

one of the tolls to pay for working plywood ;) could be worse. this is indeed one of those moments where gloves are K-OK in the shop (handling materials). FYI, I usually plan ahead, and have the lumberyard/shop cut all my parts for me – but I give them my measurements with +1/2" for each dimension so that when they mess that up, I can still trim and clean it up in the shop in smaller sizes parts which are more easily manageable (even more so than half a sheet) -- ㊍ When in doubt - There is no doubt - Go the safer route. |

Just wait until you fail to check for staples on the edges and your tape measure just happens to hit that as you are drawing a line (what are the odds???...48" in total, maybe 1" contains the staples if there are 3 of them). Your breakdown cut is now off and you'll fight the rest of the sheet as well…don't ask how I know that. |

I really liked Monte comment. Now your officially a wood worker. Its not official until you leave some DNA. Good lord knows I have been Official for a LONG time, LOL.

Angie, if you think that's bad, let me tell you a story. One time I nearly knocked myself out (and narrowly avoided losing an eye) using…wait for it…a hand plane. There was blood. Lots of blood.

You don't have to bleed to be a woodworker, but using your hands has it's risks. As to plywood, the glue tends to be more toxic than the wood. Cuts that get glue in them, and or cuts from plastic lam are more likely to fester. -- Fredj |

On Thanksgiving morning, the top right-hand corner of this page quoted Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center on what he said was the reaction of hate groups to the dawning of the Age of Obama: "We've seen everything from cross-burnings on lawns of interracial couples to effigies of [President-elect Barack] Obama hanging from nooses to unpleasant exchanges in schoolyards. I think we're in a worrying situation right now."
The Southern Poverty Law Center is a thriving business. The Alabama-based "nonprofit" firm has become a font of riches for founder Morris Dees and his associates. Its last tax return (2005) showed it took in nearly $111 million in donations the previous four years alone and reported assets of $189.4 million at the end of 2005.
Its business is fundraising, and its success at raking in the cash is based on its ability to sell gullible people on the idea that present-day America is awash in white racism and anti-Semitism, which it will fight tooth-and-nail as the public interest law firm it purports to be. That might lead a skeptic to wonder why it spends little on litigation and why Mr. Dees pockets a lot of money sent in by panicked donors who buy into the smear campaigns against organizations or prominent individuals who question racial preference programs.
To me and to other observant conservatives, the Southern Poverty Law Center is a clever scam, relentlessly cultivating for profit the fear that this nation is filled with Klansmen and rife with people eager to perpetrate genocide. If you're curious about this organization and its legitimacy, spend some time on the Internet and assess it for yourself, because I want to move on to something else related to the comment by Mr. Potok. He mentions cross-burnings on the lawns of interracial couples. If this is true, shame on those who do such things, but what you probably don't know about – and what the law center ignores – is the atrocity committed on an interracial couple in Winchester, Calif.: Marine Sgt. Jan Pawel Pietrzak, a Polish immigrant, and his African-American bride of two months, Quiana Jenkins Pietrzak. Four African-American Marines, two of them under Sergeant Pietrzak's command (including Emrys Justin John, 18, of Baltimore), are accused of breaking into the couple's home and killing them both (one is also charged with a sex crime). In the weeks since the brutal murders, the media have been largely silent about the grisly incident. Would that be the case had the alleged perpetrators been white? Don't be silly.
And as we have come to expect, the authorities won't attribute the Pietrzaks' deaths to "hate." The Riverside County prosecutor's office says the crime was motivated by robbery. But the mother of the murdered Marine, Henryka Pietrzak-Varga, wrote a letter to the president-elect about what happened to her son and daughter-in-law, wondering, "If it was a robbery, why didn't they come when nobody was home instead of in the dead of night, armed to the teeth? … What was it about my son and daughter-in-law that inspired such hatred and loathing?" As columnist and blogger Nicholas Stix notes, "The questions are, of course, rhetorical. Mrs. Pietrzak-Varga obviously knows full well why her son and daughter-in-law were murdered."
"Hate crimes," as trumpeted by the likes of the Southern Poverty Law Center, are a questionable legal construct used almost exclusively against whites.
Hateful or not, interracial violent crime is overwhelmingly black on white or black on Asian. The Department of Justice's figures show that between 2001 and 2003, blacks were 39 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than the reverse. Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
You won't hear about that from the Southern Poverty Law Center or see it on the evening newscasts, because the truth is one thing and the liberal agenda is another.

Jesse Dampolo's article favoring Kenneth Faried as the Celtics' pick (in the somewhat unlikely event that the slips from the expected mid-teens or the Celtics move up) got me to thinking about an article I wrote last August about effective height vs. floor to hair follicles height. The gist was that for purposes of hand/ball contact, the distance from the floor to the raised finger tips was more germane than the more traditional measurement of height. Whether releasing a shot, blocking one, or snaring a rebound, the key is where the rubber meets the flesh—usually a hand rather than the top of the head. With that in mind I took a look at Draft Express's pre-draft measurements for some prospects for next month as well as some comparators and those for some of the players I would like the Celtics to try to bring in through free agent signings or trades. Added to the DX measurements I have included their DX mock positions or actual draft position. The first group is prospects for this draft, the second comparisons, and the third is my wish list (but that is an article for another day) for Danny's post-CBA maneuvers.

At first blush Faried is the all-too-typical undersized power forward that Danny seems to add every year. However a closer inspection suggests some long arms mounted rather high on his frame giving him a better reach than Blake Griffin and most of my "wish list" guys. Oddly Jeff Green has another inch of wingspan but lags a full five inches behind Faried in standing reach. The poster boy of low slung arms is Shelden Williams who has a whopping 88.5" of wing span but in spite of exceeding Faried by 4.5" still falls four inches shy on standing reach. I suppose it is the price of having 6" of his listed height tied up in forehead.
Admittedly professional basketball is a leapfrog sport and the standing reach seldom overcomes a soaring rival. However contesting a shot is often best accomplished by staying on the floor and good boxing-out techniques often reduces the rebound to a standing reach. For those that want to examine the measurements of other draft prospects attending the Chicago combine, see the current group. If you wish to see players already in the league (at least those who have joined the NBA recently) check these historical measurements.
4 Responses so far.
Lol at the Sheldon forehead line. I believe I commented on your prior post about how I agree that standing reach is more relevant to a big man than listed height. A long armed 6'8" guy can do much more damage than a stubby armed 6'11" guy.
I feel that people that only judge bigs by height are the same as the ones who judge a baseball player by batting average and have no idea what ops is. -
I have no idea what OPS is. But also no idea why would anyone follow baseball. lol
Bballee would you really like to add Kwame Brown? -
Well Jenda, The Celtics wanted Kwame over Shaq and only settled on Shaq after Kwame went to Charlotte for more money. Kwame averaged 8 pts and 7 rebounds a game this year and didn't have a defective foot, so I would have taken him ;)
OK, I guess I see it. Especially since Dwight Howard or even DeAndre Jordan isn't coming throught that door.

If all goes according to plan, the era of the Castros in Cuba will come to an orderly end in five years' time. Raul Castro, who took over from his brother Fidel in 2008, says he will step down from the presidency in 2018, and has nominated the young (ish) Miguel Diaz-Canel as his most likely successor.
The second President Castro has already done much to relax Cuba's communist rigour, loosening the constraints on private enterprise, for example, and abolishing hated travel restrictions. And in Sunday's speech, he outlined proposals for a two-term limit, and age cap, on the presidency. But he was keen to scotch suggestions of counter-revolution: "I was not chosen to be President to restore capitalism to Cuba."
Perhaps. But the fact that Mr Diaz-Canel is not one of the communist old guard creates a reasonable chance of more change after 2018 at least. Here's hoping.

The Master Revised
While filmgoers hungrily await this year's Miami International Film Festival feast, there are several tasty cinematic hors d'oeuvres now being offered at the Cosford Cinema. George Capewell, the Cosford's programmer, has scored a number of Miami premieres that should keep art cinema lovers happy in advance of the festivals yet to come.
First up is a re-release of Fritz Lang's 1927 silent sci-fi classic Metropolis. The meticulous restoration by German film preservationist Martin Korber retrieves over 1300 feet of original footage, adds title cards for missing sections, and is greatly helped by a new recording of Gottfried Huppertz's grand Wagnerian score. This futuristic morality tale has a vision and production scope so huge, it's the granddaddy of much of contemporary cinema. Everything from Star Wars to Titanic, Blade Runner, Brazil, and Alien, among hundreds of other films, owe a tremendous debt to it.
The story is set in a future where dronelike workers dwell below ground in a skyscraper-urban world ruled by a corporate elite. One day Freder, the sensitive son of the city's ruler, Joh Fredersen, encounters Maria, the ethereal protectress of the workers' children. He falls instantly for her and follows her into the workers' dark netherworld. Soon he switches identities with a worker to experience the drudgery of the underclasses. Meanwhile his father's lifelong rival, Rotwang, a crazed inventor, creates a female robot that he fashions into Maria's image, with the plan to bring down the city -- workers, rulers, and all. The doppelganger Maria manages to stir up a citywide worker revolt that ends in chaos, until the evil double's true identity is revealed.
Through Feb. 2 at the Cosford Cinema, Memorial Building, University of Miami, Coral Gables; 305-284-4861.
Etre Et Avoir Through Feb. 9, also at the Cosford Cinema.
Metropolis features the wild expressionistic visuals that were the rage in Europe during the 1920s, presaged film noir of the 1940s and '50s, and seems to have predicted much of today's urban design. But linked to this futuristic vision is the antiquated silent-movie acting technique of the period, which is extremely stylized, and sometimes unintentionally comedic. Gustav Fröhlich, who looks vaguely like Leo DiCaprio, really chews the scenery as Freder, while seventeen-year-old Brigitte Helm has a field day as both the saintly Maria and her lascivious, demonic double.
Lang's epic spools out as a nightmarish fairy tale, with a cast of thousands swirling amid and under towering sets that rival the excesses of any modern epic. The striking production design is Art Deco taken to extremes, and much of Metropolis seems to anticipate the totalitarian designs of decades to come (Hitler was said to have loved the film, even though Lang himself was a dedicated anti-fascist). It's a wild ride, combining Marxist depictions of class struggle with Christian idealism, melodramatic acting, some near-nude revelry, and spectacular production elements. The result is a gigantic fever dream of a movie that really should not be missed by any movie lover.
The history of the film's creation is a story in itself. The huge production was meant to make a big statement, a reassertion of German film studio primacy, an answer to the Hollywood spectacles of the 1920s that had turned world attention away from European cinema. But Metropolis was so expensive, the German studio that produced it collapsed and had to be rescued by Paramount and MGM. The film was severely edited and shortened for its American release. It is estimated that more than 25 percent of the original was lost over the years. In 1984 composer Giorgio Moroder attempted a revival of the cut version, adding color tints and pop music from Freddie Mercury and others, an effort that was poorly received by many critics. The present restoration is based on the film's original negative, which survives largely intact. The result is essentially the original version in a glorious 35mm print.
In distinct contrast is another Cosford offering, Etre Et Avoir (To Be And To Have), a contemplative, lyrical documentary about a dedicated schoolteacher in rural France. Filmmaker Nicolas Philibert spent most of a year with one classroom of children as they were guided by their patient teacher, graying, goateed Georges Lopez. The film reduces over 600 hours of footage into a gentle, often poignant portrait of youngsters struggling with growing up under the tutelage of a master teacher. Lopez treats his charges with tremendous respect while maintaining strict rules of decorum, commitment, and cooperation. He mediates a quarrel between two boys with wisdom and patiently guides a spirited but wayward lad toward completing an assignment. Philibert's camera usually focuses on the children's faces as they try to learn from their teacher, who they clearly adore.
Central to the film is Lopez, a Zen-like teacher-saint, and the camera rarely leaves his classroom, but engaging mini-portraits of rural French life are glimpsed in snippets. One farm boy works with his family tending to dairy cows before settling down to math homework, receiving a cuff to the head from his mother when he gets his multiples wrong. When a problem stumps him, the whole family pitches in to help, only to get befuddled themselves. In another sequence Lopez takes his charges sledding during a recess. Lopez is always in poised control until the end, when some of his older students prepare to move up to a new class. It's then that this teacher's emotions get the best of him as he faces sadness, love, and pride commingled. None of this is likely to please an action-oriented filmgoer, but those who favor the quiet pleasures of intimate portraiture should not overlook this little French charmer.

Anderson a longtime educator who connected
Published 8:59 pm, Friday, May 10, 2013
Joseph Carl Anderson Jr. was a people person who happened on to his true calling while trying to sell insurance to a fellow member of the National Guard, his wife said.
Insurance was not that calling, but teaching, as it turned out, was. The guardsman said he needed a teacher, not insurance, and the next day, Anderson, a San Antonio native, started a job keeping attendance at the old Edgewood High School.
"He had a gift for teaching," Mary Margaret Carr Anderson said of her husband. "He never wanted to do anything else."
Anderson, or Joe as he was known to friends, worked at Edgewood and later Brackenridge High for 31 years, teaching English and later vocational skills, and helping students find after-school jobs.
"He could spin yarns, but he could also talk with people, not just to them," his wife said. "He had a natural talent for explaining things and relating things to (students') lives."
Dianna Buxkemper, a retired counselor who worked with Anderson at Brackenridge for many years, remembers him as a popular and skillful teacher who could be counted on to welcome new teachers to campus.
"He was very outgoing, very friendly," Buxkemper said. "He was a very special person."
Anderson died May 5 at a San Antonio hospice after battling pancreatic cancer for about a month. He was 75.
Mary Margaret Anderson, who was married to the teacher for 24 years, said he was born in San Antonio in 1937, worked from the time he was 12 at various grocery stores, graduated from St. Mary's University in 1959 and might have made a career in the Army, which stationed him in Germany for three years, had his grandmother not talked him out of it.
Once he discovered teaching, Anderson also found an outlet for his skills in extracurricular activities — announcing at basketball games, emceeing special events, working in the press box at football games. He also worked extra hours giving tours at the old Lone Star Brewery and hosting parties at the Buckhorn Saloon when it was at the brewery.
"It was all about people. That was his skill," Mary Margaret Anderson said. "You name it, he liked it — horror movies and all kinds of music. When people were involved, he liked it even better."
She said he could laugh at himself, and in their time together she never saw him lose his temper.
Anderson retired in 1999, and five years later the couple moved to Bandera, where his wife said he continued making friends.
"He got people to talk," she said. "He was always just average Joe."

My nephew Timothy is a rabid San Francisco Giants fan. For his birthday, he wanted to transform his bedroom into everything Giants. I decided a DIY gift was in order. So I made this:
This project was surprisingly easy once I figured out what I was doing. I started with a plain black wastebasket. I found the Giants' logo online, printed it out, then carefully cut around the edges with my Fiskars Fingertip Control Knife (love that thing!). I used spray adhesive to attach it to the wastebasket.
It looked good, but somewhat flat. I added a few coats of Folk Art's orange Extreme Glitter paint.
I LOVE this paint. It adds amazing shimmer and shine. Because the glitter is so small, it works really well for masculine projects. Now the Giants logo has some interest and dimension.
Happy birthday Timothy!
