Sisu, Saunas and Ida Susanna
The Webster dictionary gives the following definitions of sauna: A Finnish steam bath is a room in which steam is provided by water thrown on hot stones. The sauna is a small room or hut heated to around 80 degrees Celsius. It is used for bathing as well as for mental and physical relaxation.
There was a time, in the not too distance past when there were more saunas in Finland than there were cars.
On a bright sunny morning in southern California, the week before Christmas 1967 at the age of eighty-one, Ida Susanna decided to enjoy what had long ago become a ritual. The sauna had been heated. It was ready. She and several family members were enjoying the heat, steam, warmth and comfort of the sauna when suddenly Ida began feeling uneasy and within a short time she succumbed on the spot, right then and there. Her last breath was in her beloved sauna, a Finnish tradition she had enjoyed throughout her life. Now, she had come full circle.
Ida Susanna Karhu drew her first breath and saw the light of day in a sauna on a cold morning in the dead of winter, March 12, 1886, in the rural village of Isokyro, on the banks of the River Kyro, in Western Finland, the Ostrobothnia Region, where St. Laurence Church built in 1304 still stands to this day, twenty minutes from Vaasa, Finland near the Gulf of Bothnia.
As a youngster, she played with friends and watched her younger brother and sister. She went to school and dreamed of a new life in a far-away country where her father was waiting for the family. Johan had left for America several months earlier. At that time the United States was actively recruiting immigrants. He was up to the challenge.
The time had finally come for the family to be reunited. In early spring of 1896 Ida, her mother, Sanna, 42, her brother Jakko and sister Lisa Whilemena, had taken all the necessary steps toward making their way to 'Amerika'. The Finnish passport containing all four names was in order, having undergone rigorous scrutiny prior to being issued. Four tickets were purchased at the cost of FIM 138 per passenger. The date for departure had been set for May 16, 1896.
It must have been a harrowing thirteen-day voyage for Sanna, with the responsibility of three young children although Ida was able to help with the little ones. They made their way to Hango, Finland on to Hull, England, aboard the SS Urania, then by train to Liverpool, England. The travellers then boarded the SS Lucania, a Cunard Liner, destination New York City with two thousand eager passengers. Some were either homesick or seasick or both.
They passed the Statue of Liberty as they approached Ellis Island on May 29, 1896, where the lengthy registration process began before they could go down the 'stairway to freedom'.
There were new horizons for the ten year Ida, and her family as they made their way to Ashtabula, Ohio. She went to school, was a diligent student who learned to read and write in English while maintaining her Finnish language and heritage. In 1903 at the age of sixteen, she married a fellow Finn, nine years her senior, had nine children. Johan (John) provided for the family for forty years until he was fatally struck in the spring of 1943 by a young fellow driving a forklift. After his passing Ida had several suitors. She remarried,
In 1903 at the age of sixteen, she married a fellow Finn, nine years her senior, had nine children. Johan (John) provided for the family for forty years until he was fatally struck in the spring of 1943 by a young fellow driving a forklift. After his passing Ida had several suitors. She remarried, however, her new husband, Herman Haapala died within the year.
Ida Susanna was a lady with sisu*, a Finnish word for perseverance, courage and determination. She married for the third time to a gentleman named Gust Gustafson and enjoyed several years living on a large farm in Cook, Minnesota. For almost ten years they travelled., One summer they visited her son in Canada, and wintered in Florida. However, he too passed away.
Getting on in years and not wanting to endure the harsh winters in the east, she made her way to southern California where she spent her remaining years close to several of her children and their families.
She lived life to the fullest throughout those many years in "Amerika" her adopted country and is buried beside her first love, her husband of forty years, Johan Hjalmar Lindell, in Edgewood Cemetery in Ashtabula, Ohio.
*Sisu is a Finnish term and when loosely translated into English signifies strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity. However, the word is widely considered to lack a proper translation into any other language. Sisu has been described as being integral to understanding Finnish culture. The literal meaning is equivalent in English to "having guts", and the word derives from sisus, which means something inner or interior. However sisu is defined by a long-term element in it; it is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain an action against the odds. Deciding on a course of action and then sticking to that decision against repeated failures is sisu.
Church Registers: A Wonderful Resource for Researching Quebec Ancestors
Quebec's Church Registers are a happy fact for anyone researching ancestors in that Canadian province.
From the early days of New France in the 17th century, a record was kept for every Catholic birth, marriage and death with a register. Priests kept a religious copy of the register at the parish and filed another state copy with the tribunal serving the relevant territory.
After the British Conquest in 1760, the right to keep registers of civil status was gradually extended – over the next century – to non-Catholics. At present, BANQ's Church Register collection contains the digitized records of births, marriages and deaths for Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Evangelical, Jewish and Lutheran churches.*
Today, these records can be accessed through the Drouin Institute, Ancestry.com,
as well as through BAnQ (the National Library and Archives of Quebec) http://bibnum2.banq.qc.ca/bna/ecivil/as
and familysearch.org: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1321742
The BANQ website is available in French but the above link will take you directly the Church Registry page. Records can be accessed in three ways: by the place where the act was established (parish, congregation, synagogue, etc); by the judicial district, according to the list established by the Territorial Division Act (L.R.Q., chapter D-11);or by region.

Arthur's Baby Book
The night before three-year-old Arthur Hamilton became ill, he was reciting a rhyme and joking about lisps and kisses and mistletoe with a family friend who was helping put the children to bed. Someone – his mother or the friend – recorded those words in his baby book.
The following day, Arthur came down influenza. In fact, everyone in the house – his parents, his twin brother and his two older siblings – got sick. The others recovered, but Arthur did not.
When the influenza pandemic reached the Hamiltons' Winnipeg home in January 1919, it was at its deadly peak. Arthur was among more than 1,200 Winnipeg residents and 50,000 Canadians killed by the pandemic, which was brought to Canada by troops returning from the trenches of World War I.1 Some 21 million people died from the virus worldwide.
Today, Arthur's baby book, and that of his twin (my father) is in the University of Manitoba Archives as part of the Hamilton Family collection. These cheerfully illustrated booklets include important milestones, such as the twins' first steps. Arthur's book is especially moving because of the entry about the jokes he made just before he became ill.2
Archivist Shelley Sweeney has used Arthur's baby book in the classroom many times. For example, she took it to a religious studies class that was exploring how people react to death by expressing regret and memorializing the person who has passed.
"It strikes people as so unbearably sad," she says. "There are always sympathetic expressions and murmurs when I talk about it."3
The death of a young child like Arthur seems especially sad, but the influenza pandemic traumatized whole communities. Some people lost family members to the flu after having already lost sons and brothers in the war. Many of those who died were between 20 and 40 years old, in the prime of their lives. Children were left without parents, families without income earners, businesses without customers, and manufacturers without workers. Poor neighbourhoods had the highest death rates.
Some people compared the pandemic to the Black Death of medieval times. The government banned large public gatherings to try to control the spread of the virus. Hospitals and physicians were overwhelmed.
My grandfather was a physician and my grandmother had trained as a nurse, but they couldn't save their son. They tried everything they knew, but there were no effective treatments in 1919.
Their older son, Glen, a future a physician himself, later recalled being taken in to see Arthur's body. He said, "I can remember on the floor beside his crib there was an enamel basin with boiling water in it – Friars Balsam [eucalyptus oil] – that aromatic stuff you put into body rub, and a little tank of oxygen. And those were the weapons to fight the flu. That was all!"4
My grandfather, Thomas Glendenning (T.G.) Hamilton, was devastated by his son's death. Not only had he failed as a physician, but, as Glen Hamilton suggested in an interview, T.G. may have felt that he had been too attached to Arthur. "Dad was a very strict Calvinist Presbyterian and he felt that in some way, because he was so fond Arthur …. that he was being punished by the Lord …."5
Arthur's death was a pivotal event for the Hamiltons in a way that seems surprising today, but was typical for the time. Many people were deeply religious and believed in personal survival after death. Grieving families wanted to communicate with loved ones who had passed, so they turned to mediums and séances. Between the two world wars, a strong spiritualist movement developed in Canada and elsewhere.6 Glen suggested that Arthur's death stimulated his parents' interest in the psychic field.
What made the Hamiltons unusual was the effort they put into exploring psychic phenomena. For more than 10 years, until T.G.'s death in 1935, they held almost weekly séances with a small group of regular participants.7 T.G. became known across Canada, the United States and England for his psychic research, while Lillian played a key organizing role in the background. T.G. emphasized the "scientific" nature of his enquiry, but his grief must have coloured these experiences.
Around 1980, Margaret (Hamilton) Bach donated her parents' research notes, speeches and photographs to the University of Manitoba Archives, and a few years ago I added a few items, including the twins' baby books. Today, many people consult the Hamilton Family fonds. Some are interested in psychics, several have used the collection as inspiration for plays and visual art, and other researchers are using the collection to explore how people cope with trauma.
Although many people, including myself, are skeptical about the authenticity of their experiments, it is wonderful to see that T.G.'s and Lillian's passion is still contagious in so many different ways.

Notes and Sources
T.G. Hamilton and Lillian (Forrrester) Hamilton had four children: Margaret Lillian (1909-1986), Glen Forrester (1911-1988), and twins James Drummond (1915-1980) – my father — and Arthur Lamont (1915-1919).

Finding Great Great Grandmother: Elizabeth Mowat Sutherland
Elizabeth Mowat is my great great grandmother. I didn't even know her name before I began my genealogy quest. I still don't know much about her but I now have a photograph, a portrait of her in her "go to church clothes" with the requisite black bonnet.
There were no pictures of her in the box that started my family history search, although there was a family photograph of her husband William, her son Donald, his wife Alice and three of their children, William, Mary and James Dickson. I originally thought Elizabeth was alive at the time, so why on such an occasion was she not with them at the photographers? It later turned out she died in 1883 and not the assumed 1888.
It was through the internet and RootsWeb that I finally saw her face. Robert Harkness, from her daughter-in-law Alice's line, said his family had lost all their old photos and information in a house fire but his uncle might know some family history. I wrote to his uncle, Bruce Harkness but did not hear anything. Then a couple of months later I received a letter from a George Dickson with photos and stories. He was also a relative of Alice's and lived in the same apartment building as Bruce, in Belmore, Ontario. Bruce had shared my letter and it was George who responded. In the package was a picture of Elizabeth.
She was born in 1829 in Pulteneytown, Caithness, Scotland. Her parents were James Mowat and Isabelle Houston. It doesn't appear that she had any siblings or at least any that survived to the 1841 census.
She married William Sutherland a shoemaker and 13 years her senior, May 1845, in Pulteneytown and they set out for Canada soon after. They sailed with two of William's nephews and their wives so he had some family with him, but Elizabeth left her family and her life, never to see them again. There are Sutherland letters that have survived which reported on all the neighbours and friends so I assume the Mowats also heard about their daughter's new life and family.
Elizabeth and William had seven children, William, James, Donald, Christina, Isabella, George, and John. They moved from Toronto to West Gwillimbury and finally to their own land in Carrick, Bruce County Ontario. After clearing the land and farming for a number of years they gave up the hard work and moved back to Toronto.
Elizabeth died in 1883 and William died in 1887. My sister Jeannie and I visited Mount Pleasant Cemetery and found their tombstone. The names were readable but not the inscription. As Jeannie went to the car to get some paper to try a rubbing, the sun came out and it's angle made the inscription jump out,"The dead in Christ shall rise first".

How to Bring a Voice to Your Personal Essay
Writing stories about your ancestors can seem a bit self-indulgent. Who wants to hear about your long dead aunties and uncles? Your own relatives may roll their eyes when you pull out your tablet and talk about the blood, sweat and tears that went into a year-long investigation into an-all-but-forgotten life.
Sure, the genealogy writing exercise may start out as a purely personal exploration (as in Why am I here?) but with careful attention to detail and a sense of humility on your part, the practice can become so much more than that.
Exploring ancestry through prose provides you with a versatile platform to inform and delight your readers. Your stories even may inspire others to take the plunge and explore their own roots while polishing their writing skills.
Genealogy writing is often personal in nature, as in "My great grandmother, Lydia Tittle, was born in 1897 in the poorest part of Ulster," and it sometimes it comes in the form of the personal essay, as in "When I was a little girl growing up in rural Georgia, I was very close to my Ma Tante Mathilde, my father's French sister."
It may sound counter-intuitive, but my top tip to avoid sounding self-indulgent when writing about yourself and/or your ancestors is to use your own natural voice.
What is 'voice'? Well, storytelling was once a sacred art. The storyteller invoked a muse to tell a certain tale to an enraptured audience. I like to think of 'the writing voice' as something similar. Before I get down to writing a first draft, I invoke a piece of my personality to tell the story. For me, it's a feeling I conjure up, much like I'm told a method actor does before walking onto the stage, and sometimes, as with acting, it can be a bit unsettling to bring up this feeling/personality, even scary. It certainly doesn't feel self-indulgent. Enveloped in this character/feeling, it's easier for me to choose the appropriate words and expressions while writing and to maintain a consistent tone for the piece.
The biggest mistake any beginning writer can do is to try to imitate someone else's voice because readers will pick up quickly on the deception, but if you write stories in your own voice, even if you are still developing your style and technical skills (and what writer isn't?) your readers will be inclined to be generous with you because they will sense you are 'opening up' to them, taking a risk, giving them a little piece of your heart, as it were.
Ask yourself these questions before you embark on the personal essay writing journey:
- Are you using your own unique voice?
- Is your essay and the information contained within worthy of the time the reader will spend on it?
- Does your story have substance? Is it useful, as in informative; diverting as in surprising or funny; or moving, as in sentimental or touching?
- Does your story have universal human appeal so that all readers can relate, or is it aimed at a specific reader with a specific interest?
- Does your story have a take-away, a gift that keeps on giving such as a fascinating fact or two, a broader insight, or some useful research tips that the reader can call upon later?
Montreal Cemeteries
Genealogists tend to visit a lot of cemeteries, so if those are beautiful places, the experience can be a pleasure. Anyone with Montreal ancestors in either Notre-Dame-des-Neiges (Catholic) Cemetery or in the non-denominational Mount Royal Cemetery can consider themselves lucky: both cemeteries are located on the slopes of Mount Royal, both are filled with trees and wildlife, and both have services to assist genealogists find their relatives.
These cemeteries were opened in the middle of the 19th century after the city's population expanded, putting earlier burial grounds too close to residential areas. Hygienic concerns became particularly important when cholera epidemics swept the continent.
In fact, because of epidemics, poor sanitation and a lack of clean drinking water, many of the city's dead were children.
Since Mount Royal Cemetery opened in 1852, more than 300,000 people have been buried there. To check the location of a grave in Mount Royal Cemetery, go to https://mountroyalcem.com/index.php/en/our-services/genealogy-menu.html. The Quebec Family History Society (QFHS) sells a book of 4600 monument inscriptions from Hawthorn-Dale, Montreal's second-largest Protestant Cemetery and an affiliate of Mount Royal Cemetery. See http://www.qfhs.ca/forsale.php.
Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery, the largest graveyard in Canada, has been in operation since 1874. To find a grave there go to http://www.notredamedesneigescemetery.ca/en/research/locate.htm and click on locate deceased.
When the older cemeteries were closed, people were told they could move the remains of their relatives, but that did not always happen. Every now and then, human remains turn up when repairs are done to Dorchester Square, a former cemetery that is now a park in the heart of downtown. And in addition to proper cemeteries, there are some unusual burial places in the city. Priests and nuns were buried in the crypts of Catholic churches and other religious buildings. Some 6000 Irish immigrants who died of ship fever in 1847 are buried in a mass grave, marked with a commemorative stone, near the Victoria Bridge.
Because so many of the city's old cemeteries were closed and eventually built upon or used for other purposes, anyone who comes to the city looking to find the grave of an ancestor who died before the mid-1800s will probably be disappointed.

The Jamieson Sampler
There's a mystery behind the sampler I inherited from my great, great grandmother.
The sampler itself is quite lovely and very detailed, most of the colours still vibrant today. It is edged with a border of stylized red roses. Inside are the traditional bands of letters and numbers in various stitches, along with a large two-storied house, trees, birds, animals, two baskets of flowers and a verse about the challenges of life. The creator's name is written clearly: Jane Jamieson, Her Sampler, Quebec and a date. 1819? 1844? The numbers are unclear and therein lies the mystery.
Jane Jamieson was born in 1818 in Drum, Ireland to Samuel Jamieson and Jane Stewart. A sampler date of 1819 is therefore not possible, Jane would have been an infant.
Jane's father was a tenant farmer and according to family legend, had at one time belonged to the Irish Constabulary. He was also a Protestant and a Loyalist. After suffering a series of irritating incidents at the hands of his Irish landlord, Samuel decided to quit Ireland and take his family to where he could farm his own land. In 1836 he, his wife, and their six children immigrated to Canada.
The Jamiesons, along with twenty-six other families, settled in the "highlands" of Megantic County south of Quebec City. Samuel was given Lot 5 S.W. on the First Range of Inverness Township in what was to become known as South Ireland (now Saint-Jean-de-Brebeuf). Their first home was an old cabin that an earlier squatter had left behind.
The land grants were part of a complex government scheme, beginning in 1791 and now known to be largely unworkable, to settle the vast wilderness between Quebec City and the American border. It took until 1869 before Samuel's 100-acre grant was finally legalized in his name.
Life in Inverness was not easy. The settlers were expected to cut down the forest and unearth rocks to build their homes and to farm. The winters were long and brutal.
They were also very isolated. Craig's Road, the dirt road to and from Quebec City, was mountainous, narrow, and heavily rutted with the only means of transportation being by foot, by ox cart or, in winter, by sleigh. It could take three days to reach Quebec or up to a full week when hauling a load of wood or charcoal to sell.
Two of Samuel's daughters eventually left Inverness to find employment in the city. Both Jane and Sarah went into service. Jane worked two jobs, house maid and parlour maid, for a cash total of $3.00 a month.
In 1846 Jane married William Kelly, a wealthy coal merchant from Quebec City, and became mistress of her own home. There is no record of how they met and courted. Perhaps Jane worked in his family home. Jane and William had five children: James, Eliza, Samuel, Annie and Emma, my great grandmother.
If the date on the sampler is actually 1844, then Jane made the sampler as an adult, two years before her marriage, and not as a child as was the norm at the time. She perhaps learned the various stitches from a fellow domestic, or even her mistress, and created the sampler in her free time, likely something to be tucked away in her hope chest until the day she married. The large house in the sampler may have been the one in which she was employed. One might even suggest that the trees, the birds and the animals were reminiscent of her earlier life in Inverness. So too might have been the reference to the challenges that she "would overcome in the by and by".

Fossil overpressures compartments? A case study from the Eifel area and some general aspects
Fluid overpressures are well known from hydrocarbon exploration in many sedimentary basins. They can reach almost lithostatic values, and may cause the fracturing of rock. Fracturing allows the discharge of fluid overpressure, and fluid flows along a hydraulic gradient towards a low pressure reservoir. Different mechanisms may cause the precipitation from the fluid, such as a fluid pressure drop, a variation of temperature at the low pressure reservoir, or a different rock type inducing different Eh-pH conditions. Such precipitates in fractures are called veins, which often display paleo-fluid overpressures in rocks. In this study, we present some results from Devonian clastic sedimentary rocks of the Eifel area. Results are compared with other sedimentary basins to highlight some general aspects.

South Florida Gets First Gay Polo League, the Jokes Write Themselves
jetbluestone via flicker cc
Let's pretend for a second that a bunch of men straddling horses, whacking balls with long shafts is not already homoerotic. You might need a title like Gay Polo League to convey that your players are, literally, homosexual. And you might want to compete in a place like South Florida where everyone will freaking love you.
That's what's happening April 4 in Wellington. Gay polo teams -- from L.A. to New York -- will battle at the First International Gay Polo Tournament.
Naturally, the rules are the same as straight polo and the so is the, um, equipment. So what's the difference between gay polo and non-gay polo? A spokesperson tells the New York Post: "Of course, the uniforms are a little chic-er . . . the balls are a little nicer, too."

Elizabeth Ivory is one out nearly two-thousand were-cats. Being born around 1785, she has seen what most people can not even imagine. Of course, it doesn't help that she was the key witness to the entire slaughter of her Family, the were-cat royals. Now, two-hundred year later, she has grown into something even the most powerful people fear, though no-one knows her true identity.
She is the Alpha of the most diverse and powerful pack/cult/pride in North America. Being Female and a shifter from a nearly extinct category means that no-one has actually met her. Her pack is known as the Rouge-Pack, meaning unlike others they take in rouges and supernatural that have been displaced for reason that they cannot control.
On her way back from a secret mission across the pond, she accidently roams into the strongest werewolf pack in North America. Not knowing exactly what to do, she hides her scent and pretends to be a Rouge, suffering the same fate as other Rouges who roam onto their pack.
What no-one knows is this was the pack that she saved from extinction nearly a century before ago. Before they can hang her for her "crimes", the elders come to her rescue, shocking everyone, including the Beta, who was the one that was about to execute her. Unaware that her destiny is about to be fulfilled, she ends up leaving the pack, right before her Mate returns from the International Meeting of Supernatural Beings.
When duty calls and an unlikely force drives her back to the pack once again, what will her reaction be to finding her mate, who she had so long-ago given up on? How will she handle their fights, as two dominate fires fight for the control of the other? And what happens when an old enemy returns, threating her new-found happiness after destroying it 200 years ago?

I really love the idea of this story, plot twist with the changing thing I like the way you described the transformation and that the main character is such a badass! I'll definitely keep reading this

This is a solid beginning. It was kind of cliché (with her being bullied, left to fend on her own) but wow that plot twist at the end definitely brought it back on. the grammar is pretty good, especially on wattpad so props to that.

Before I go and release the first pattern for 2016 which might I just say is super cute and stylish and I hope you love it as much as I do....I've finally put a tutorial together to add grommet handles into the Emma Clutch Tote. If you haven't got this pattern yet you can find it here or in the shop. Here's my little hack!
|The Emma Clutch Tote without grommet handles
Adding Metal Grommet Handles to your Clutch
When you get to the section "Make the Handles - Steps 26 – 35" follow these steps instead:
You will need to cut the following (and DO NOT require Pattern pieces B & C)
· Cut 2 pieces 14" across x 11" high from your Handle Fabric
· Cut 2 pieces 14" x 11" of fusible interfacing
2. Place the fabric pieces right sides together and sew the side seams to make a tube.
3. Clip the seam ends and make a notch in the middle of the seam allowance on each side. Press seams out.
4. Turn the tube inside out to fold it in half. Wrong sides should be together. Top stitch ¼" around the folded edge.
6. Cut this hole out a little bit bigger than the markings.
7. Position the front of the grommet in place and attach the back to the inside securing it with the prongs or screws depending on your grommet.
Continue pattern at Step 36 – Adding Magnetic Clasp
And thats the hack! I can't show you the finished bag yet as its a present but as soon as its received I'll be sure to share over on Insta
Until next time, happy bag making!

When you go online to compare rates for car insurance, you want to know you are getting the best deal. You can't assume that the company that claims the lowest price is really the best value. Once you receive car insurance quotes from an online site, you want to know how to compare them for the best deal.
Before comparing rates, make sure you know what kind of policy you need. Here are some tips to help you select the right coverage for making your comparison:
Once you have these numbers, you can submit your request for quotes in your area. The quotes you receive back will be similar and closely match your coverage needs. Be aware that some companies may not have the exact same coverage and may compensate with similar policies.
If this seems like a lot of work to start out with, just submit your request for free auto insurance quotes on the most basic coverage limits required by law. This will give you an idea of which companies have the lowest rates. Once you narrow down your choices, you can ask for more detailed quotes based on the coverage you want.
Keep in mind that coverage rates may change based on the type of policy you want. Enter as much detail about yourself as possible to get the most accurate rates. If you fail to fill out the information correctly when requesting free auto insurance quotes, you will not get accurate results. For example, if you do not list any traffic violations, you may receive quotes that are much lower than the actual rates once the provider discovers that you have two traffic violations and three claims.
You should compare rates when you are moving, buying a new car or making other changes in your life. Several big events in your life can impact the rates you will charged for insurance. Any time you have these changes pending, it is a good idea to get free auto insurance quotes:
It is a good idea to take time to compare rates any time something big changes in your life. When you compare rates for car insurance, make sure you are comparing the same level of coverage and using the same information. Take the time to get quotes on a regular basis – at least once a year or whenever you make major changes.

Talk:Metal lathe
|WikiProject Metalworking
|(Rated C-class, Top-importance)
This page needs some cleaning up. I expanded some on the engine lathe, but I think some more sections need to be worked in along with a number of more photos, as the engine lathe is perhaps the most important tool of the industrial age and its history and evolution should be detailed extensively.Rvannatta 03:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Term "Engine lathe"[edit]
Folks: It's not actually the power that gives rise to this term, but the automatic feed of the cutting tool. The sense of "engine" here isn't in the prime-mover energy-converter sense, but in the earlier mechanical-device sense. There were "siege engines" long before the steam engine. :D
Ref: http://www.webster-dictionary.org/definition/Engine%20lathe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 15:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Can we change the title to Metal lathe? It just irks me they way it is titled now, even though it's probably not in contradiction to any rules. Wizard191 (talk) 06:40, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't see any reason not to change it. I think Metal Lathe sounds better, and would be easier to find.JoshOrndorff (talk) 06 July 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk)
Illustration of concept or actual use[edit]
I just read this article because I wasn't clear how a lathe actually worked...what goes where and that sort of thing. After reading it, I still don't really know. The article would be vastly improved with a few clear illustration of the machine in use. Generally line drawings are much easier to to comprehend when compared to photos, although not always, of course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpunkyFinklestein (talk • contribs) 21:56, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
I am new to the working of Wikepedia but would like to see addedin the turning stub some deatils of types of lathes tools. I don't want to mess up anyone elses work but we need to add types of lathes such as:
- Centre Lathes:
- Centre lathe (no gap)
- Centre lathe with gap
- Centre lathe with double gap (turning of railway axles complete with wheels attached)
- Oil country Lathes (large bore for piping and casing use din oil industry)
- Break lathes largest of lathe used with a double bed (one bed moves over the main bed)
- Relieving lathes for the turning of taps and gear form tools
- Copy lathes
- CNC lathes
- NC lathes
- Pegboard lathes
- automatic lathes
- multi spindle precision auto lathes
- single spindle auto lathes
- model builders lathes
- capstan lathes
- turret lathes
- Vertical lathes (sometimes referred to as vertical boring machines
These are just a sample of types of lathes, each lathe section is further categorised by sizes and manufacturer. There should also be a further section for ancillary equipment associated with the lathe tool. Bugbear, I hate it to see amateurs refer to HSS twist drills as 'drill bits' this term should be banned from all technical articles dealing with machine tools as it is a layman's term. High speed twist drills should be designated as HSS TD. This separates them from other types of flat blade drills use din drilling operations and propriety spade drills used in industry. ieuan sant Ieuan Sant 10:30, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- Ieuan, I moved your comments here because they are all applicable to this article. Also, note that some of your requests are already discussed in this article. Wizard191 (talk) 22:22, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Well, I don't mind collaborating I have spent most of my life in machine shops and know a bit. I was dissapointed my article on types of lathes was removed because it is a serious attempt to educate the public.Ieuan Sant 22:32, 24 July 2010 (UTC) I just wish I knew more on how wikkipedia worked —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ieuan Sant (talk • contribs)
- Agreed—Ieuan, there is plenty of room here for you to augment the types listed in this article. You may find others doing cleanup afterward (spelling, linking, etc), but that is actually helpful (not hurtful) because it polishes the content. And if any one of these types gets to be having so much content that its section here would be very long, it can be spun off into its own article. (But that's probably not likely to happen very soon.) Feel free to augment the info here. — ¾-10 02:20, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Shock: People take advantage of free government health care
posted at 10:10 am on October 17, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
- Share on Facebook 1
Hawaii has ended an experiment with universal health care for children because it proved a little too successful. Seven months after launching Keiki Care, a flood of enrollments caused it to run over budget. The social engineers in Hawaiian government just learned a lesson about free-market economics and the effect of government distortion (via The Corner):
Hawaii is dropping the only state universal child health care program in the country just seven months after it launched.
Gov. Linda Lingle's administration cited budget shortfalls and other available health care options for eliminating funding for the program. A state official said families were dropping private coverage so their children would be eligible for the subsidized plan.
"People who were already able to afford health care began to stop paying for it so they could get it for free," said Dr. Kenny Fink, the administrator for Med-QUEST at the Department of Human Services. "I don't believe that was the intent of the program."
Fink gets this entirely wrong. Taxpayers didn't get this for free. They paid for it with their taxes. Keiki Care took taxes and directed it into creating a universal health-insurance program for children, and apparently didn't set any income requirements for entry. Why wouldn't the taxpayers whose money funded the risk pool take advantage of it?
Furthermore, the surprise of Fink and Lingle at the effect of a "free" service in a competitive marketplace only proves the economic illiteracy of our governing class. What happened to the sale of Internet browsers when Microsoft offered Internet Explorer for free? Did that only entice low-income web surfers to use IE, while leaving Netscape for those who could afford it — or did it kill the market for for-profit browsers? Introduce a no-additional-cost alternative to any market of goods or services and consumers will flock to it, and in the process kill the market for anyone looking to maintain their own share of the market. That's more basic than Econ 101. It should embarrass Hawaiians that anyone would have to explain it to their elected officials.
For their relentless cluelessness about the free market and consumer behavior as well as the non-"free" nature of government programs, Fink, Lingle, and the Hawaiian Legislature win the prestigious Captain Louis Renault Award for their shock, shock! that people would take advantage of a no-fee program … that they themselves funded.

Having worked in an emergency room business office while in graduate school, I can also attest to the fact that, when one child gets sick (or the parent needs a doctor's excuse from work on a Monday morning) the entire extended family takes advantage of it, taking over the waiting room and staring at the TV until they get bored and leave.
And that's just with a company insurance program. Imagine what it'd be like with nationalized healthcare.

Australia has universal health care but the only catch is you would probably die waiting in line for the "free" health care provided.

The government doesn't need to provide health care. That is not the problem with the health care system. The value of health care in this country is second to none.
The idea that people don't have health care because they can't afford it is also a red herring. The only problem with the system is that private companies underwrite individuals and determine some individuals uninsurable. . .
Imagine trying to get car insurance when you have had 10 accidents and a couple of DUI's. auto insurance companies wouldn't be able to insure you. . . the same thing happens with health insurance.
We don't need to 'give everyone health insurance'. . . we need to make sure that it is available to everyone at an affordable rate. NC has developed a 'risk pool' funded by all insurance companies that do business in this state (different from taxpayer funded risk pool). That pool will be used to provide insurance for uninsurables at a much more reasonable rate. THAT is the solution to the 'problem' of health care in this country.
Watch NC and how we do this thing. It is a model that should be used across the country. The new plan will roll out Jan 1. . . and I can not tell you how excited I am about it. Yes I know I am a geek, but I am uber stoked about this new health care plan for otherwise uninsurables.

Not sure you can call them moochers and looters if they funded the program themselves with tax dollars. I believe that was one of Ed's points. His IE example is a bit off the mark because those availing themselves of the freebie browser hadn't already paid for it with confisticated taxes, although the end result is the same.

The vast majority of our elected officials are absolutely useless people who were ran by their political parties not because of their competence, but due to their connections.
Witness Barack Obama. Perfectly unaccomplished, unqualified, generally useless individual with shady connections and this complete jackass could be our next President.
Until voters demand competent candidates, we'll continue to get worthless clown acts like Barack Obama, who will have idea how to even perform the basic functions of government, but will shovel money at their donor groups. That's the sum of what they can do.
And what do Hawaii Democrats need a giveaway program like this anyway? It's already a one-party state.
NoDonkey on October 17, 2008 at 10:35 AM
South Africa tried to play the same game and got the same result. I notice other people commenting that other governments have also tried this and failed.
Perhaps when certain things regularly follow a certain economic policy, we could consider learning. We could even look to a discipline called Economics to see if it provides us any reasons why those results happen.

We buy health insurance through a group of small business with about 600 others and still pay $1400 per month. I hate it! My son gets Medicaid because he his disabilites prevent him from any kind of work activity. I have considered dropping him from our insurance to save money, but adults on Medicaid can't find doctors. "Free healthcare" is lousy and expensive.

The program also advertises alot, and set up display booths at festivals and community events. Our government wants more people on this program.

Jeff on October 17, 2008 at 10:52 AM
i like this, the reality of government run health care.
Socialized medicine is pursued by the LEFT because it is fulfillment of Communist Goal Number 32. The Democrats don't care if you are poor, in fact they want everyone to be poor, the masses are much more easily controlled that way. The Democrats don't care if you have health care or not, but they do care about being able to exercise absolute control over everyone's personal life and socialized medicine goes a very long way toward that end.
America once had the finest schools in the world, then we decided to let the government run them. Look at them today. While American's spend more per student than almost any other country in the world, the quality of our education system nevertheless lags far behind nearly all third world countries. Just think what the government could do for our health care system !!
Maxx on October 17, 2008 at 10:53 AM

It sounds like legislative malpractice. They didn't know how to accurately estimate the cost of their legislation. When they were really surprised by the cost and unwilling to accept responsibility, they blamed the parents. But most of them probably sound as articulate as Barack.

This sort of nonsense is why Obama needs to commit to fully funding his play-or-pay "public option" with the payroll surcharge rather than subsidizing it in order to artifically set premiums low.
Once play-or-pay is in place, the government can run private insurance out of business by pricing the government product at an actuarially unfair (low) rate.
Fabian socialism.

Thanks for the endorsement bop! But for your son, you said he is disabled and on Medicaid. . .
My son gets Medicaid because he his disabilites prevent him from any kind of work activity.
If he is on disability, he should be able to get Medicare. As long has he has been on disability for two years, he will be eligible for Medicare. Medicare is MUCH MUCH better than Medicaid. I would recommend that you look into seeing if he qualifies for Medicare due to disability. I think that could be a pretty good solution for a disabled individual. . . but he has to qualify (which can take some time but is worth it).

For at least the past 40 years, Arizona has offered child immunization clinics and county hospitals for the indigent, including emergency care as well as surgeries for anyone willing to wait their turn in line. It began prior to the flood of illegal aliens into the state and our nation, and prior to the aids epidemic as well.
So I wonder how Arizona's budget covers the burdens now.
Even on financing the state's healthcare budget alone, that would certainly explain why tent city for convicts exists.

[email protected] on October 17, 2008 at 11:05 AM
You are obviously being sarcastic here, but it is much more complicated than that. If these insurance companies insured people that cost them 2000/month in claims but they only brought in 500/month in premium. . . guess how long that company stays in business.
Do this little excersize. . . open a business and tell everyone you will give them 2000 if they give you 500 and see how long your business stays open.
Then another issue that complicates it is that new procedures and drugs are developed daily. How much are they worth? Does it cure the disease? Does it alleviate symptoms? How much would an insurance company be forced to pay for a new and unproven treatment?
These are questions that insurance companies have to deal with. They negotiate lower rates for heart surgery because when you need heart surgery is not the best time to negotiate with the surgeon about price. If you need it to live, you will pay anything for it. . . fortunately, you don't have to haggle if you have insurance because the insurance company has already done that TO KEEP YOUR HEALTH COSTS DOWN!
But if you reduce it down to profits and commies, you miss the entire debate.
ThackerAgency on October 17, 2008 at 11:12 AM

Maxx on October 17, 2008 at 11:13 AM
Here's the problem. The people getting the "free" care are being completely rational.
I don't know how Hawaii regulates health insurance companies but I would imagine that employer health care plans have either single or family coverage. If you want to cover a spouse you'd need to cover your entire family and knocking the kids off the plan isn't an option. This "free" or cheap government subsidized plan must have affected people who were buying individual plans (often single proprietors or small business people) that they could tailor. This group pays a much higher price since (1) they are paying for whatever risks and pre-existing conditions they have, not having them averaged out in some larger pool. (2) They are paying the full cost of premiums (no employer subsidy) and depending on how their business is structured, (3) may be paying the premiums with after tax dollars. When given a chance to put the kids on a government subsidized plan and save $$$ I am sure it was a no brainer for them.
Insurance companies are rational too. When this plan came online, if they could get away with it they'd probably have been encouraging families with sick kids that maybe they should think about putting them on the government plan. I am sure it would have saved them a bundle too. They already do it with adults who apply for individual insurance who have expensive conditions that they don't want to insure.
As long as health insurance is based on what your employer wants to give you, and its tied to your continued employment at that employer, more people will continue to fall through the cracks and demand some kind of universal healthcare or univeral insurance system. Fewer people are working at really large corporations anymore and with the recession, even fewer nowadays.

It should embarrass Hawaiians that anyone would have to explain it to their elected officials.
And what do you think President Obama's health care plan is going to do? Precisely that. Only, it's so comprehensive and it's mixed with so many "fines" and other crazy burdens on employers, that it'll result in government health care crowding out private insurance. Then we'll be just like Canadia, with a single payor system! Then, Obama and the socialists will be able to nationalize the health care busienss (just like they want to nationalize our banks) and, voila, we'll be like England!

No, he would only get Medicare, as a dependent, if my husband or I died and he were still living in our home. He has never paid social security or medicare taxes, so he does not qualify for Medicare.

So right. Public Education is a perfect example of how govt can screw something up royally.
As a public screwl teacher, I see waste waste waste. Paying people to push paper & do NOTHING. No accountability on the part of administration. UGH! But if the kid doesn't ace the standardized test, oh let's blame the teacher! But only the teacher in the core subject areas. So the PE & history teachers don't need to be accountable. Just us math,English & science folks.
And then, oh, let's pay everyone with a different degree the SAME. That's the way to ensure a quality education!
I only teach for the convenience (got a ranch to tend to). I fight the bias every day in class.

It's all about creating clients, too. You'll qualify for everything they're offering, if you just apply. Like ACORN, the more clients, the more federal money that will be poured into your local office.

2nd lawsuit challenges Obama's citizenship

Note: It is incumbent on ALL Secretaries of State in all of the United States to BOTH accurately verify Voters AND candidates. Barack Hussein Obama has sealed his "Hawaiian" birth records and also records in Kenya.
Failure to verify and certify qualification for ALL candidates in a general election by any Secretary of State may be a cause of action (dereliction of duty) and criminal charges may be filed.

First Lawsuit against Obama and the DNC:
The supply demand curve is the immutable LAW of economics. When something is perceived as "free", then demand is on a sure beeline to infinite. Why wouldn't it be? The only limit, would be that people do need to work and other things, so they can't spend 100% of their time waiting in long lines for that "free" service. Politicians shouldn't be allowed to run for office until after they have taken both basic micro and macro economics courses, and then PASS A TEST WITH A REQUIREMENT OF 90% CORRECT ANSWERS.

Can you remember the first time you saw Rent, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Once? Musicals that changed the way we looked at standard musical theater. While Hamilton is getting all the attention this week as it starts previews on Broadway, I was lucky enough to head down to the South Street Seaport Museum where Naked Angels is presenting a musical theater experience/play/concert…I actually find it very hard to describe; but it is incredible.
Myself and about 60 other people were completely captivated by 7 performers onstage who sing, act, play instruments, create sound effects/sets/images in the most creative of ways. Director Liz Carlson (artistic director of Naked Angels) and her design team have created an experience like no other. Breathtaking moments in this play, underscored by music and sounds that create a theatrical experience that immerses the audience into this world of the sea.
The show is SeaWife by The Lobbyists & Seth Moore directed and developed by Liz Carlson. The website calls it a concert play - I call it a deeply engaging and moving fable of a man's connection to the sea. How it bore him, nurtured him, and caused havoc in his life. We watch him grow from a young boy following in his father's footsteps to a man seeking out his own way in the world. The imagery used in this show to illustrate baby, boy, the sea…it is absolutely beautiful. Even the use of changing the actor that portrays our protagonist Percy midstream completely works in the way the entire story is presented.
For those that wonder what this is: it's a little Peter and The Starcatcher meets Once with a rocking, pulsating score that gives way to haunting melodies and the tightest harmonies seven voices can create. That score (co-written by The Lobbyists who are all performing it) is glorious. I left humming the closing song and still can't get it out of my head.
I must mention the names of this ensemble group because I've never seen such devotion to artistic work - perhaps because you are sitting so close to them that you feel every single thing they do - but they are living, breathing and sweating this story out of every inch of their bodies. Tommy Crawford, Eloise Eonnet, Alex Grubbs, Will Turner, Tony Vo, Douglas Waterbury-Tieman, and Raymond Sicam III give their all.
The group has been working and reworking the piece for a few years now. I can't wait to see what happens and only hope a producer will jump in and take this show to an Off-Broadway house where it can have a longer run and more people can experience the magic that is happening nightly. Sure, there are places that can still be tightened up to work on the length of the show, but that's part of the beauty of catching something in its infancy. The show has been extended downtown through July 26th. Don't miss your chance to see it. So you can't get tickets to Hamilton until 2016…experience SeaWife now and tell your friends you got to see it before everyone else starts talking about it.
