Honors Thesisby Danielle Hirano Oct 16 15
Declaration of Intent for Honors Thesis
The Library acquires copies of honors theses to serve the needs of students and faculty, to provide access to Whitman College scholarship outside the Whitman community, and to ensure that these original works are available to researchers for consultation in the future.
Approval by Advisor(s)
The thesis or project must be approved in advance by the professor(s) under whose direction the work is being done.
Before Feb. 24, 2017, submit the Honors in Major Study Application to department/committee chair. As part of the Honors in Major Study program, the candidate must complete a written thesis or research project to the satisfaction of this program and file copies (both physical and digital) of the thesis in the college library prior to the final examination period in his or her last semester. For the 2016-2017 academic year, the thesis submission deadline is reading day, May 10th, 2017. Please note that students may be required to comply with departmental regulations for earlier filing. Changes and/or exceptions in requirements or deadlines must be approved by the Board of Review.
Departments are asked to distribute these guidelines to all honors students whose theses will be acquired by the Library. The guidelines are to be followed by the students in the preparation of their honors theses.
Writing and Formatting Your Honors Thesis
Thesis Template
Seniors have the option to use a correctly formatted thesis template which includes required elements such as the title page, certificate of approval, table of contents, etc. The template is not required; it is designed to facilitate proper formatting and pagination.
Download the Thesis Template (MS Word)
The thesis should follow requirements set forth by the home department or developed in consultation with the thesis advisor. Generally, one of the formats described in the Modern Language Association (MLA), Chicago Manual of Style, American Psychological Association or other standard style manuals should be used. Guides illustrating correct formatting (e.g, for footnotes, bibliographies, etc.) are available in the library (see Style Guides) and in the College Bookstore.
Page Size
Unless approval by the departments and the Library is granted because of a need for a different format, the thesis page size must be 8½ × 11 inches.
Margins, Spacing, and Type
The left margin must be at least 1 ½ inches wide. All other margins must be at least 1 inch wide. The text should be double-spaced, but extended quotations may be single-spaced if indented slightly from each margin. Text should be in a standard font, no larger than 14 points and no smaller than 10 points.
For preliminary pages (title page, table of contents, etc.), use lower case Roman numerals at the bottom center of the page. Include the title page in the count but do not number it.
For the text (thesis, appendices, etc.), use Arabic numerals at the bottom center of the page. Include the first page of the text in the count but do not number it. First pages of new sections (bibliography, chapters, etc.) should also be numbered at the bottom center.
Other styles of pagination such as MLA or APA may be used if approved by the department or thesis advisor.
Images, Audio, Video, and Other Media
Theses including such materials should be prepared according to the special instructions below. Additional questions on special materials may be referred to the Special Collections Librarian at [email protected].
Digital images, maps, charts, and graphs, unless otherwise specified by academic department or thesis advisor should have a resolution of 300 dots per inch (dpi). If this resolution is not available, consideration must be made to get as close to this resolution as possible without considerable visual degradation of the image be inserted into the thesis using the TIFF (preferred) or JPEG file formats.
For help with creating, scanning, formatting or otherwise preparing images, maps, charts, or graphs, please contact the WCTS Multimedia Development Lab (MDL) in Hunter at [email protected].
Copies of material in non-print format—DVDs, CDs, videos, etc.—should be included with each copy of the thesis deposited with the library. Media contents shall be formatted in accordance to guidelines set by the academic department and/or thesis advisor.
The usual make-up of the thesis is as follows:
1. Title page
In order to ensure consistency among Whitman theses, the title page should closely follow the sample with respect to order, spacing, and capitalization. In general, abbreviations should not be used. The author's name must be typed in full as it is to appear on the commencement program.
2. Certificate of approval
The completed thesis must be approved by the professor under whose direction the work was done. Use the sample certification of approval form as a guide. The certificate of approval must be signed by the thesis advisor and placed in the thesis following the title page. NOTE: This is not the same form as the Honors in Major Study Application for the department/committee chair before due in the Registrar's Office before the October break.
3. Table of contents
Depending on departmental requirements, most theses must have a table of contents immediately following the certificate of approval. It must list all the principal topics or subdivisions of the thesis and their initial page numbers.
4. Abstract
An abstract in your thesis helps users identify, retrieve, and use the thesis. See the appropriate style guide for your discipline for instructions on writing an abstract. While the Library does not require your thesis to contain an abstract within it, we do require an abstract submitted to us as part of the digital submission form. If you choose to include an abstract within the contents of your thesis, you may copy and paste this into the digital submission form. A simple paragraph will do. The abstract helps us determine how to link to your thesis in our online catalog.
5. List of illustrations
All figures, tables, charts, graphs, drawings, plates and other illustrations are to be listed on a page following the table of contents, numbered consecutively in either Arabic or Roman numerals in the order in which they appear in the thesis. The number of the illustration(s) should appear at the left of each entry, and the page number on which each illustration appears should be indicated at the right of the entry.
6. Text Format (Discipline Specific)
Text should follow the style (APA, Chicago, MLA, etc.) of the thesis discipline. For more information, see "Formatting" and consult your thesis advisor.
7. Bibliography
The bibliography shall be placed following the text in a form approved for use by the academic department. Guides illustrating the correct use and form of bibliographies are available in the library (see "Style Guides") and in the College Bookstore.
Copyright information
If you are the author of all the text, image, audio, and/or video files contained in your honors thesis, you hold copyrights and can grant full permission to post a digital copy online. If portions of your materials have been produced by others, you need to seek permission to include them in the digital copy you post online. If permission cannot be obtained, copyrighted material should be removed from any digital copy you post and complete print copies can be placed in the Library collection. For more information, see the library's tutorial on copyright at Whitman or contact Dalia Corkrum, Library Director, at [email protected].
Printing and Submission of Your Thesis
Theses are due prior to the final examination period in the student's last semester (except when the student may be required to comply with departmental regulations for earlier filing). Changes and/or exceptions in requirements or deadlines must be approved by the Board of Review.

The library will print a second copy from your digital submission to be deposited in the Whitman College Archives. Be sure that your final printed thesis conforms to the formatting guidelines, paying particular attention to the Title Page and the need for signed Certificates of Approval.

In addition to the deposit of paper copies, each student must deposit with the library a copy of the thesis in digital form.
Copyright: In order to include any text, images, audiovisual, or other material not created by you, the material must be in the public domain or fall within the parameters of fair use. If the material does not fall within either of those categories, authors must receive permission from the copyright owner to include that material in their digital thesis. For more information, see the library's tutorial on copyright at Whitman or contact Dalia Corkrum, Library Director, at [email protected].
The author of the thesis must complete a non-exclusive distribution license and select a level of access, subject to thesis advisor's approval:
1. Worldwide distribution via the Internet, or

Writing Your Thesisby Danielle Hirano Oct 14 15
Honors Thesis Guidelines
Don't forget to read the Honors Thesis Guidelines. These guidelines, specific to those writing honors theses, will tell you everything you need to know about formatting and submitting your thesis. Also see our Senior Thesis Guide for an overview of the thesis process and detailed links to library resources for all thesis writers.
Choosing a Topic
Reference Librarians and thesis advisors can be invaluable resources as you prepare to write your thesis. The key to making thesis writing a relatively painless process lies in planning ahead. Come talk to a librarian early on. We can help you choose a topic, narrow your topic to a more reasonable size, locate resources both here at Whitman and in other libraries, and plan the research process so it all runs smoothly. Contact the reference department as soon as you can to set up a research consultation.
Start your research early, and plan ahead. The University of Minnesota has a useful Assignment Calculator that will help you manage time constraints
Sometimes choosing a topic can seem like the most difficult part of the whole process. Looking at other theses can give you some ideas about scope, arrangement, and depth of projects that qualify for Honors, and can really help you narrow your ideas to something you can research. You can find previous theses in Sherlock.
Finding Resources
Penrose Library contains a wealth of material that will be useful to you as your research your thesis topic, but finding exactly what you need can be daunting. We can help you search databases, indexes, and catalogs to find books, government documents, bibliographies, articles, and more. We can even help you locate resources held in other libraries.
When looking for books and collections, begin with resources available in Sherlock. For many topics, Penrose Library will have a sufficient amount of material. Having trouble finding books in the library? Check out our guide to Finding Books on the Shelves.
We also subscribe to many electronic databases specific to various disciplines. If you're not sure which database will be best for your topic, or if you need help searching, come by the reference desk or make an appointment with a librarian.
Senior Privileges
All seniors working on theses are entitled to additional library privileges:
- Semester-long checkout of Penrose Library books. This does not extend to books borrowed via Summit or interlibrary loan.
- Semester-long use of a locker in the library, renewable in December for spring semester—Very handy if you don't want to carry three dozen books around with you all the time. (Please make sure all the books in your locker are actually checked out to you.)
To apply for a locker and semester-long check out rights, please fill out our Senior Privileges form (PDF).
About the Libraryby Danielle Hirano Oct 14 15
Penrose Library: An Educational Partner
Penrose Library serves as a bridge between the Whitman College community—students, faculty, administration, and staff—and the information resources that promote teaching, research and learning. The library's mission is to provide access to a diverse collection of resources to support faculty and student research and learning, and to guide students through the research process, helping them develop critical thinking skills, synthesize information, and communicate the results of intellectual inquiry.
How does Penrose Library, consistently ranked highly by the Princeton Review, accomplish this mission? The library's digital environment, with more than 40,000 unique journal titles and 160 databases, complements its 500,000-volume print collection. Penrose is one of only a few college libraries that are open 24/7, and the facility itself was built and renovated with the idea that form follows function. Penrose's archives and special collections include 3,500 linear feet of archival and manuscript material and over 5,000 rare books. And Whitman College is a member of the Orbis Cascade Alliance, which combines the assets of academic libraries throughout the Northwest to provide free access and courier delivery of millions of volumes.
Penrose Mission and Values Statement
Penrose Library serves as a bridge between the Whitman College community—students, faculty, administration, and staff—and the information resources that promote teaching, research and learning in the spirit and mission of the College.
Penrose Library Guiding Principles
We are a liberal arts college library that supports our undergraduate curriculum and facilitates access to resources for faculty research. In partnership with the faculty and staff, the Library staff selects, builds, preserves and offers access to diverse print and digital collections. Together we guide students through the research process, helping them develop the critical thinking skills to conduct research, synthesize information, and communicate the results of intellectual inquiry. Whether interacting with students in the classroom, one-on-one, or through electronic communications, we carefully assess students' information, technological and educational needs and advise them appropriately.
An intellectual and social center of campus, the Library is conducive to individual study, reflection, and collaborative work. The Library's physical spaces provide access to collections which encourage creativity and exploration in a technologically and aesthetically inviting environment. We welcome all members of the Whitman College community into the Library.
We value our flexibility, accuracy, accessibility and resourcefulness in providing quality innovative user-centered services. We seek opportunities for professional development, and we form partnerships on and off campus to extend our services and resources beyond the physical library and to enhance our skills and knowledge. A collegial working atmosphere is provided for all Library staff.
Penrose Library Values Statement
We value relationships and are committed to building a cooperative, supportive, and open community. We work together to enact policies that help ensure the well-being of our community members and also prudently manage Penrose Library's physical and digital assets.
We challenge and engage each other in respectful, thoughtful ways as we develop our critical thinking skills. We act with empathy and kindness to instill mutual trust and we recognize the contributions of all employees to our shared goals.
We strive for authenticity and accountability in our relationships with others. By our actions we evidence a shared responsibility and commitment to justice, service, and excellence. We act with humility and patience.
Life-Long Learning
We motivate and inspire others to pursue learning and knowledge. We believe freedom to pursue continued training and professional development is crucial for all members of our community.
Diversity and Inclusion
We seek to learn with others with diverse experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives. We recognize that diversity makes our institution stronger.
Embracing Challenge and Change
We see change as an opportunity. We are willing to accept new challenges, to take risks, to champion equality, and to seek out new solutions and new paths.
Privacy and Confidentiality
We stand behind our users' rights to privacy and confidentiality. We support the safety and freedom of inquiry for all.

Gifts to Penrose Library
Gifts to Penrose Library are very welcomed and valued. Through the generous support of friends and alumni, donations to the Library have helped build outstanding collections. Gifts, often those that memorialize or honor loved ones, continue to help foster the traditions of scholarship, critical thinking, and lifelong learning that are hallmarks of a Whitman education. Modest gifts are very much appreciated, as are bequests, endowments and larger contributions.
The collections at Penrose are carefully selected to provide balanced, vibrant and timely materials that serve to support the curricular and research needs of our faculty and students. In order to safeguard quality, consistency, and relevance to the needs of the College, donated materials are reviewed using these same criteria. Moreover, due to space, staffing, and resource limitations, we are unable to accept all gifts of materials.
General Policy
Gifts-in-kind, especially library materials, are accepted with the understanding that they become the property of Whitman College. Penrose Library retains the right to decline, retain, or dispose of the materials at its discretion. Only the Library Director, Collection Management Librarian, or Archivist/Special Collections Librarian may accept in-kind donations on behalf of the Library. A signed Gift of Property statement must accompany all such donations.
General Library Materials Gift Form
Special Collections Materials Gift Form
General Library Materials
We welcome books and media appropriate for the general library collections if they support the College's curriculum and faculty research needs. The Library does not accept duplicates of held materials, textbooks, outdated or materials in poor condition, mass-market paperback books, general interest magazines, cassette tapes, software, photocopied materials, vanity press books, popular pamphlets or promotional materials. Only commercially produced DVDs in like-new condition will be accepted.
Before bringing gifts of 25 volumes or more to the Library, please contact Roger Stelk, Head of Collection Management (509-527-5909 or [email protected]) to discuss the potential donation. He may also be able to suggest other resources if the potential gift is deemed not appropriate for Penrose Library. Donations are boxed and delivered at the owner's expense.
Special Collections Materials
Gifts of manuscript collections, rare books, and unique materials, especially those that pertain to Whitman College and northwest regonal history, are encouraged. Before such items or materials are donated to the Whitman College and Northwest Archives, please consult with Melissa Salrin, Archivist and Special Collections Librarian (509-526-4731 or [email protected]). The Development Office encourages donors to consider providing financial support for the processing and preservation of such donated materials, especially if the collection is of substantial size and/or significance.
Donors are responsible for obtaining an appraisal and consulting with a tax advisor in order to obtain such information. Generally, gifts with a declared value over $5,000 will require an independent qualified appraisal; those with a declared value over $500 will require that the donor file IRS Tax Form 8283. Please read IRS publications 526 and 561 for more information.
Appraisers may be located through the American Society of Appraisers, the Antiquarian Booksellers Association, or the Appraisers' Association of America. If you wish to have an appraisal conducted, please do so before donating the materials to Whitman College's Penrose Library.
All gifts will be acknowledged by letter with a count of the donated items. The Library does not provide a detailed, title-by-title listing.
Access Restrictions
Generally, gifts for which the donor places restrictions on access are not accepted. Exceptions may be made, for a limited time, for certain sensitive materials donated to Whitman College and Northwest Archives. Penrose Library abides by the American Library Association/Society of American Archivists' 1994 Joint Statement on Access to Original Research Materials.
Donated items that Whitman College's Penrose Library retains are cataloged and listed in the Library's catalog. Access to other materials will be governed by established library policies. Materials added to the general collections are interfiled with like books on the same subject. Separately named collections are not maintained.
Financial Support
Monetary gifts, especially those that would enable the purchase of new materials, the delivery of innovative services, additional furnishings, technology enhancements, or the support of special program areas are actively encouraged. Please contact Dalia Corkrum, Library Director (509-527-5193 or [email protected]) or John Bogley, Vice President for Development and College Relations (509-527-5979 or [email protected]) for more information.

The roots of Underworld go back to the dawn of the 1980s, when Hyde and Smith formed a new wave band called Freur. The group released Doot-Doot in 1983 and Get Us Out of Here two years later, but subsequently disintegrated. Hyde worked on guitar sessions for Debbie Harry and Prince, then reunited with Smith in 1988 to form an industrial-funk band called Underworld. The pair earned an American contract with Sire and released its debut album, Underneath the Radar, in 1988. Change the Weather followed one year later, even though little attention had been paid to the first. By the end of the decade, Underworld had disappeared as well.
As they had several years earlier, Hyde and Smith shed their skins yet again, recruiting hotshot DJ Darren Emerson and renaming themselves Lemon Interrupt. In 1992, the trio debuted with two singles, "Dirty"/"Minneapolis" and "Bigmouth"/"Eclipse," both released on Junior Boys Own Records. After they reverted back to Underworld, 1993's "Rez" and "MMM...Skyscraper I Love You" caused a minor sensation in the dance community. Instead of adding small elements of techno to a basically pop or rock formula (as many bands had attempted with varying success), Underworld treated techno as the dominant force. Their debut album, Dubnobasswithmyheadman, was praised by many critics upon release later in 1993 and crossed over to the British pop charts. Hyde, Smith, and Emerson impressed many at their concert dates as well; the trio apparently relished playing live, touring Great Britain twice plus Japan, Europe, and the annual summer festival circuit, where their Glastonbury appearance became the stuff of legend.
Dubnobasswithmyheadman was released in the U.S. in 1995 after being licensed to TVT Records. During the rest of the year, Underworld were relatively quiet, releasing only the single "Born Slippy." Finally, Second Toughest in the Infants appeared in early 1996 to much critical praise. The trio gained no small amount of commercial success later in the year when "Born Slippy" (specifically its B-side version, "Born Slippy .NUXX") was featured on the soundtrack to Trainspotting, the controversial Scottish film that earned praise from critics all over the globe. Underworld also remained busy with Tomato -- their own graphic design company responsible for commercials from such high-profile clients as Nike, Sony, Adidas, and Pepsi -- and remixing work for Depeche Mode, Björk, St. Etienne, Sven Väth, Simply Red, and Leftfield. Emerson continued to DJ on a regular basis, releasing mix albums for Mixmag! and Deconstruction. Though Underworld's 1999 LP, Beaucoup Fish, was initially a critical and commercial disappointment, the band continued to tour the world. The live album Everything, Everything followed in 2000, after which Emerson left to continue his DJ career. A Hundred Days Off, Underworld's first LP as a duo since 1989, was released in mid-2002. One year later, the stopgap compilation 1992-2002 appeared.
By 2005, the duo had officially been joined by one of Britain's most respected DJs, Darren Price (although he contributed to A Hundred Days Off), and his work also appeared on a series of online-only EPs Underworld released during 2005 and 2006. They also recorded new material for the soundtrack of the Anthony Minghella film Breaking and Entering. Their first "proper" full-length since 2002, Oblivion with Bells, appeared in 2007. It was followed in 2010 by Barking, an album that featured numerous guest producers including Paul van Dyk, Appleblim, and High Contrast. Underworld simultaneously released two more compilations, the triple-CD 1992–2012 as well as the single-disc A Collection (which featured previously unreleased collaborations with Brian Eno, Tiësto, and Mark Knight & D. Ramirez), in late 2011.
In 2012, Underworld served as music directors for the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics, held in London. They wrote two songs ("And I Will Kiss" and "Caliban's Dream") for the opening ceremony, and 11 of their tracks were included on the ceremony's official soundtrack album, Isles of Wonder. Underworld were granted the prize for Innovation in Sound at the 2012 Q Awards. In 2013, Karl Hyde released his debut solo album, Edgeland. The following year, he issued a collaborative album with Brian Eno, Someday World; the full-length was quickly followed by High Life, an excellent album that recalled Eno's pioneering work with Talking Heads and David Byrne during the '70s and '80s.
Underworld announced plans to reissue their studio albums in remastered and expanded editions. A 20th anniversary edition of Dubnobasswithmyheadman appeared in 2014, available as a double CD as well as a super deluxe five-CD version, loaded with remixes and unreleased recordings. This was followed by a similar reissue of Second Toughest in November of 2015 (a bit short of its actual 20th anniversary), again as a two-disc edition, as well as an expansive four-CD configuration, including an entire disc devoted to charting the evolution of "Born Slippy .NUXX," from studio demos and live incarnations to an iconic, era-defining anthem. In 2016, they returned with new music and a new label as Caroline International issued their album Barbara Barbara, We Face a Shining Future. ~ John Bush

Calculating roof square footage
I'm trying to calculate the total sq ft area of my roof. We plan to install a rainwater harvesting system, and I know the mfrs can do this for me, when designing their system, but I'm trying to get an idea before I start shopping what amount of area I have that will capture rainwater.
I can measure the horizontal dimensions. I've drawn sketches and taken pics. But I've got a lot of segments that are (I think the term is) hip roof, and one that (I think the term is) gable roof, and I don't know how to figure the pitch or angle, so I don't know how to calculate the lengths of the tilted sides of each surface.
I've got a saw protractor I can use to set saw angles from 0 to 60 degrees, and I can stand on the ground and hold it up and sorta eyeball the angles, but when I do that, and then I do the math, it just doesn't give me logical answers! I can do one side quite accurately, but the other sides don't come out right at all compared with the one I'm almost positive I got right, so I don't think I'm figuring the angle of the tilt or slope and therefore I'm not using the right tilted side lengths in my math.
Does this make any sense at all?
What can I do to get a better idea of how big the roof is?
Do you have excel, I could send you a program that I built.
Post your photos and sketches--it would really help. I believe the only angle you will need to know is 90°.
You can measure the angle, by eye as you stated this will be close enough, measure the width, divide the width by 2, multiply half the width by the trig function "sec" in attached table, this will give you the angular length multiplied by the length will give you the area for that roof section.
I would consider an gable as intersecting with the roof at 90*
Thx for the help. Pls send your excel file to me at tomseeley @ hot mail dot com. I have MS Office 2010 so any version of Excel should work.
Maybe I am reading something wrong, but I believe that you are incorporating too many non-essentials in the equation, and that you can do everything that you want on the ground, with no regard to roof slope, using only a tape measure. The amount of rain that will fall on your roof is the exact amount that would fall on the earth if your home were not there, so, again, unless I am missing something, all you need is the square footage of your home, and since you can only guess at the amount of a typical rainfall anyway, you could take that amount, and divide it by the number of downspouts that you have, in order to obtain an approximate volume per spout; the roof area, factoring in the pitch, is irrelevant. You probably already know the calculations, but there are 231 cubic inches in a gallons, so take your square footage, multiply it by 144, and divide by 231 to obtain the number of gallons per inch of rainfall.
well, duh..........
That makes such perfect sense, I'm embarrassed that I didn't think of it! You're right; I was definitely making it more complicated than I needed to!
Ok just sent that to you with a brief explanation on its use.
Dexter, you hit that one right on the nail head, sometimes you just can't see the forest through all them darn trees:thumbsup:
As my dad would have told me, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while! Glad to help.
The statement I highlighted is true only if the rain is falling completely vertically which seldom is the case. One side of a gable will usually receive more water than the other due to rainfall angle, so the sizing needs to be related to roof plane area/slope rather than building footprint. A 12/12 roof next to a 6/12 roof with the same footprint will catch more water.
Here's a sizing guide:

Join our letter writing campaign. Write a letter to your elected representative or local newspaper explaining your thoughts on federal finances and the importance of fiscal responsibility.
If you are trying to change policy, you have to change people's minds. Individual letters are a great way to deliver a clear, concise, and structured message that will make the reader personally consider your perspective. Whether in a newsroom or a legislator's office, you'll find people who are working hard to figure out what is important to Americans. They have their own goals and rules that govern them, but each is a person that you can reach out to as an individual, and they will listen to what you have to say. Each letter an editor or legislative assistant reads will have an impact on the decision-making process that results in the policies that govern us.
Decide on an audience. Choose which newspaper or legislator will have the greatest interest in your message. Remember that "all politics is local." Your story can have the greatest influence in your local community and if you are successful there, your story will be even stronger when you take it to the national stage.
Locate your recipients. Use the tools listed on the right to find your congressmen and local newspapers.
Investigate the rules. Check you recipients' websites or call to ask for guidelines, especially for newspapers. Adhere to those guidelines meticulously.
Prepare your letter. Try to be concise. Choose one point to focus on and announce it in the first paragraph. Structure the rest of your letter to support that point. Even if you expect your reader to disagree with your opinion, be polite; this will increase the likelihood that your letter is read, respected, and redistributed.
Double and triple check. Re-read and re-write your letter to ensure accuracy. The end influence of your letter depends largely on its credibility, which can be damaged by mistakes or unclear wording. Ask friends to review your work as well.
Submit and follow up. Send your letter and be prepared for a follow-up to confirm authenticity and answer questions. Think of other ways to use your letter by sending to it friends, colleagues, and the organizations that share your convictions. Finally, send Concord a copy so we can track your efforts and impact!

Laminate floor installation problems.
Just put down a Laminate floor and I'm running into a couple of problems. Actually, the problem is more with the T-Moulding. First, the bottom of the t-mold doesn't reach the concrete slab for glue down. Also, the laminate is a little higher than the tile. Any recommendations on what I can do to to secure the t-mold in place? Also, there is an area where I didn't leave enough space between the tile and Laminate for the t-mold to fit. How can I trim the laminate after it is already down? Is there a particular saw someone can recommend? I figure I can use a circular saw but didn't know if there were more options out there...maybe something with a little more control. It's a 12mm laminate and was tough to cut with a circular saw when I started the project. Ended up using a table saw which worked out nice. Thanks for any input or help.
I just laid engineered wood and used my dremel multimax to make some adjustments after it was down.
One of those Sonic Crafter type tools will work for "up-to-other-objects" type flush-cuts. Trouble with that is this cut then becomes a $125 cut.:)

Collectible Canadian Coins
In the middle of the 19th century, Canadian coins were still being struck in England—a mint in the nation's capital, Ottawa, would not open until 1908, prompted in part by the 1896 discovery of gold in Canada's Yukon Territory.
As a part of the British Commonwealth, Canada had every reason to expect the obverse of its coins to feature the busts of somber-looking monarchs, but the personality of the country was allowed to shine through on the reverse. Thus, cent pieces from the late 1800s are ringed with maple leaves. Other coins, such as nickels and quarters from the years between the World Wars, pair the predictable bust—in this case of King George VI—with a beaver and a moose, respectively.

Thought i'd introduce myself as i will be frequenting the forums a bit now. I'm 22 living in Edinburgh. I've been after a BMW for a while and due to my job (work at an engine reconer) i've the opportunity to buy one. I've been driving a 98 1.8 TD Ford Escort till now (which has some brilliant memories lol)
Providing i do buy it lol, it's a 97 (P plate) 520 I SE, all the toys in it. Midnight blue with alloy's 1 year's MOT and 1 years tax, 105K on the clock for £1000 (i secured a deal on £500 for my escort too)
We just did a load of work on it, new calipers, suspension, discs & pads and serviced the engine so it's good to go. Thing doesn't have a bit of rust on it although there is a bit of a scrape on the rear bumper but seeing as we have a respray shop i can get that sorted for nowt.
I'm thinking of some new alloys for it, the M5 spoiler and M5 front bumper (thread already in the tech section!) that would be it just for the time being unless there are some MUST do mods etc....
What do you think though ?

The M&P series is an interesting series of guns. They may pop up on my radar one of these days....
Thanks for posting! Sounds like a good reliable gun.:hand10:
The M&P is making strong inroads into the LE market as it's in my opinion everything the Glock should have been.
With the addition of the Apex Tactical duty package the M&P's only deficiency has been addressed and gives one the best modern technology has to offer.
Just my .02
I think that may be next gun. I'll likely get the compact so I can conceal it, however.
I'll be adding one to my lineup soon. I bought one with the intent of giving it to my Dad as a gift if he liked it. I didn't try swaying him in any direction and just let him shoot a CZ 75 BD, CZ P-01 and the M&P9c. He liked the M&P9c best so it's his now. While giving it its initial 300 round proof-of-function, I ended up really liking it and found it very easy to shoot with its low recoil and very good trigger. I didn't see the need for the Apex sear as the trigger already seemed pretty good to me. For my purposes, it's a defensive pistol and not a range gun so a little grit/stacking/whatever is perfectly fine.
Here's a post with pics of the compact compared to a snubnose .38 and an XD9SC:
http:M&P9c growing on me//www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/defensive-carry-guns/99579-m-p9c-growing-me.html
Not sure why, but I have steered away from these and I love S&W revolvers and older semi's but for some reason these just dont hit me. AND I think they are feature packed for someone who wants safety options and backstrap options. I will tell you that all of the roll marking loos cheesy to me....like someone put a book on the slide and frame of the gun, so maybe that is what annoys me.....I wish I like them overall more....
I am an admitted Glockaholic but picked up an M&P9 fullsize last weekend.. I really like it, Great shooter, excellent Ergo's and a very good design overall. I will dump a couple thousand through it before I am comfortable carrying it.
Dang dialup makes youtube impossible!
Still tossing Glock 22 against M&P 40 when some money rolls in. Convertability is an issue as I like having many different calibers. We'll see.
I'm not much for messing with triggers unless one's really bad. For precision shooting (competitive), yes. but my haphazzard range shooting, it's not that big of a deal.
nutnfancy is the man!! im a big fan!!!
Watched one of his vids once.
At the 57th or so time he said "dood", in conjunction with his claiming to be some "taktikul oparata" with "20* years of military experience" (*I don't recall the exact amount, but I am dubious of his claims), I had enough.
That, and his knife review of a blade he'd never actually handled, but saw in a movie once.
So, nothng personal, he's a maroon with a following, and I refuse to waste my time even seeing what type of drivel he'll spew next.
I like most of his videos though some of them tend to drag out after about half an hour. He is what motivated me to start making my own youtube videos, though I have nowhere near the number of subscribers he does. I bought a few things based on his reviews alone and I can say all of them have been what he said they were... high value excellent quality products.

Congratz KobusSwartz! There is nothing so delightful like first theme approval
So true, very grateful!
It looks great on big screen, but on 13' it's not that interesting. "Single page" does not fit the screen so I must scrool down. Maybe you could do something to make it good looking on smaller screen
Hi active apps, thanks for letting me know, I'l take a look at it on a smaller screen.
dreampunchboy said
Using Arial for the content is ruining your design, like seriously.
Fix that ASAP !
I like it a lot, here are my suggestions:
- Add easing to the scroll, I think its too harsh. Some ease in / out would make it super slick.
- Lobster – the font – is a little 'done' in my book. (Subjective choice though )
- Center align the date text (#blog .inner .posts p.date)
- The form fails in terms of usability for me. Validate all fields, and highlight the problem. Make sure the error messages are associated with area of the problem. Having a single message area is a big no no! (An example we have done)
#contact .inner .map { /* Fixed Height */ height: 210px; }and
#contact .inner .map iframe { /* max height of container */ height: 100% }. Have you looked
- I would like to see gravatars for the comments.
Nice work, keep it up, im sure it will do more than fine.

"I love how easy it was to input your information and customize the label with the colors you want and the font you wish to have. My package arrived before the date given and the label was protected safely and came out great. I would definitely recommend this product and tinyprints!"
"Absolutely LOVE these! They are a bit bigger, just a side note, but that makes them even more unique! LOVE them- reordering more!"
"I like the top part of this design where I typed my nephew's and niece's nicknames, it becomes the focal part of the sticker. I ordered two labels, one pink for my niece and one blue for my nephew. The colors stand out and I wasn't disappointed with it. I like the shade of each and the simplicity of the font. Also, the delivery is fast! It was scheduled to arrive on 05/28 but I got it today, 05/22. Awesome!"
"We used our pet picture with this design. We used the Sephia setting. It came out like a professional photo. Quality is great for the price. We bought other designs with picture to go with the upcoming holidays. We will be a returning customer."
"If you are getting the matching card, DO get these return address labels. We found a cute picture of our baby girl sleeping and it fit perfectly in the bubble. Such a nice way to complete your invites/cards and gives it that extra final touch. I'm so glad we spent a bit more on the labels.... everyone commented on them!"

As a comparitive newbie with a still fairly entry level system, I am wondering when it is (dollar-wise) that you have a fair chance in improving your stock cables.
Guys on AA have helped me out re-do my system over the last six months and I am quite pleased with the results. I have neglected any sort of power cord upgrades. I am wondering if I was on a budget of say $150/each (used ala Audiogon) do I stand a reasonable chance on upgrading the cords on my amp (Cary V12r), Pre-amp (AVA T7 EC), and CDP (Rotel 991). It seems that both the Cary and AVA come with pretty hefty cords and it seems dumb to me to spend $100-$150 bucks, and end up with the same stock cord that is on it.
Can anybody give me some names to look at? I am also wondering - on this budget, obviously, I am looking at a budget cable so, generally speaking, is it better to buy an entry-level product from a really high end company or is it better to buy a lower end company's top of the line product? Does that question make sense? In other words, do I go with a cheap Shunyata (sp?) or with a higher level PS Audio given the same amount of $.
Follow Ups:
You can get one new for $175, so a used one should be much less. I have the Taipan and the Python and they're great. The designer says the Diamondback is the cord he's most proud of, and multiple reviewers have called it the best PC under $1000.
Thanks guys for the recomendations. Now I can go do some homework on them. I think I am leaning toward the VH cables at this point. They seem to be of reasonable quality and shouldnt break the bank!
Try DH Labs :
Q-10 speaker cables
BL-1 mk II interconnects.
Their new power cord, too.
Audiotion, too. Use your ears, not just your eyes, keyboard then your wallet.
You have some very nice gear that could certainly benefit greatly from good power cords. I would try a VH Audio Type 4 cord on your amp and a Type 3 on your CDP. Both are very reasonable for the level of excellence they provide sonically. If your speakers and setup allow fairly high resolution, I think you'll be shocked with the improvement good cords can make.
I have a #4 on my amp, a #2 on my pre and a #1 on my DVD, although it's separate from the stereo.
I totally agree. I am still amazed with the difference the #4 made in my setup and I'm sure the other flavors are just as good. IMHO the performance to price ratio for this cord can't be beat.

Barbecue Sensor Notifies Griller When Food Is Ready
The BBiQ keeps an eye on the food so the cook can go and hang out with guests.
The creators of BBiQ call it a 'brain for your barbecue.' Your barbecue grill, that is. The BBiQ is a Bluetooth sensor and app designed to make the duties of a grillmaster easier and more convenient.
The BBiQ keeps an eye on the food so that the griller doesn't have to hover around the heat to check the food at all times. The device notifies the griller when it's time to flip the food, when to add seasoning, and when the food is cooked. That leaves the cook free to hang out and mingle with everyone else while waiting for the food to be ready.
The device works with an Android app. The user simply inputs the type of food and the app will tell him or her what do. It can even help out when cooking different types of food. The app will tell the user which food to put on the grill first, when to put the next one, or where to place what on the grill.
The creators of BBiQ are currently raising funds on Kickstarter to improve the hardware and software of the device. They want to make the device smaller and also to improve the Android app by adding more recipes and social sharing features. There are also plans to create an iOS version.
