JVCC 925DC Double Coated Tape Dispenser is a hand-held tape dispenser for double-sided tapes (when adhesive is on both sides of the tape). Helps to apply tape to working surfaces while rewinding the liner on the take-up spool. Heavy formed steel frame for long life. Adjustable tension brakes on tape roll holder and scrap rewind spool insure proper performance with any tape weight. Has a serrated blade attached to the dispenser. This dispenser is not recommended for thick, difficult to cut tapes such as double-coated cloth/carpet tapes. Holds rolls up to 2" wide with maximum 5-1/2" diameter on 3" core.
Usage tips for the Double-Sided Tape Dispenser: take the tape's release liner around the rubber roller *before* the knife so it will not get cut. The tape goes over the knife up to the small roller on top, the liner bends around the larger roller, under the knife and back to the wind-up. You also have to adjust tensions on the unwind and wind up until it works correctly since every type of tape requires a different adjustment.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Submission + - Where does Dell go after losing 3Par?->
crimeandpunishment writes: It was the big deal Dell wanted in a big way. But now that it's lost out to Hewlett-Packard in the bidding war it started for 3-Par, where does Dell go in its effort to diversify its business and move into the higher-profit area of selling technology to other companies? The company faces significant challenges....largely due to its lower-end focus, and because many of its competitors beat Dell into branching out. One analyst says "People see them (Dell) as box-pushers".

His name may not be as well-known as that of his former Real Madrid team-mates Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas, but in terms of the number of trophies won during his career at the club, Francisco Gento is ahead of both his erstwhile colleagues. Indeed, he is considered one of the finest left-wingers of all time, as evidenced by his staggering medal collection.
Could those who knew young Paco, the humble chauffeur's son who had to leave school at 14 to help support his family, have believed he would go on to scale such lofty heights? FIFA.com takes a look back at the career of a man who, having flattered to deceive during his early days with Los Blancos, would eventually become the only player ever to win six European Cups.
Run, Gento, run
As a boy, Paco Gento divided his free time between football and athletics, the sport which helped him hone the phenomenal speed that became his hallmark. Though he initially caught the eye of the wider footballing community at 14 when netting nine goals in a single match at regional level, throughout his career he was always more of a provider than a scorer.
His first contract was signed at Racing Santander, but he lasted only a few months at Los Racinguistas before being enticed away by the mighty Real Madrid, where he spent no fewer than 18 seasons. This in spite of the fact that his early displays in the famous white jersey, back in 1953, were inauspicious to say the least, with the young wide-man's blistering pace failing to convince fans who highlighted his lack of technical ability and composure.
Key to turning Gento's Madridista fortunes around was the signing of inside-forward Hector Rial. Alongside the gifted Argentinian, Gento learned to better control the ball, to time his runs more astutely and refine his rare ability to unhinge defences. "I really persevered and made sacrifices," said Gento later. "I tried to learn from my team-mates and that's how I turned things around."
Of course, being blessed with a wand-like left foot also helped. Indeed, Gento's supply of inch-perfect crosses from the left flank were an integral ingredient in the success of a history-making side, providing the ideal accompaniment to the magic of Rial, Di Stefano, Puskas and Raymond Kopa.
His full-throttle style of play would earn him the nickname La Galerna del Cantábrico (The Cantabrian Gale), in a reference to the rapidly shifting squally winds typical of the coast of his native region. That said, it was not just his speed that kept opponents on their toes. "Gento is really fast but the worst thing about playing him isn't when he's running, it's when he stops," more than one opponent was heard to say.
Along those lines was Gento's description of his own favourite move: "I run, run, run down the flank and then, bam! I send a cross in to the far post." It is for such attacking thrusts that he will be forever remembered in world football history, that and for being the only player ever to appear in the European Cup for 15 consecutive seasons, reaching the final on eight occasions.
A victor in five of those finals in a row, between 1956 and 1960, Gento himself rated his sixth triumph, in 1966, as the sweetest. This was due to the complete overhaul Real Madrid had gone through, leaving Gento as the lone survivor, and as captain to boot, of the host of superstars that made way for a new generation of Spanish players – nicknamed Los Ye-yés (The Yeah Yeahs) in a nod to the prevailing 1960s pop culture.
So it was that against Partizan Belgrade, in Brussels' Roi Baudouin stadium, Gento secured legendary status with a sixth European Cup winner's medal. And though hard to imagine at the time, Los Merengues would not lift the coveted trophy again for another 32 years.
Following that victory, the Spanish press heaped praise on the class shown by Gento, as evidenced by the following excerpt from Catalan paper La Vanguardia. "Paco Gento embodies the old guard, the glory days, the flash of lightning launched on its way by a ball from Rial or Di Stefano. No team ever played football the way that Real Madrid side did.
"With the passage of time, Gento's prodigious qualities have faded somewhat. His dribbles are performed more slowly and his galloping runs are no longer imperceptible to the naked eye. He's still lightning, though the flashes come less frequently. Nevertheless, his presence on the field encourages his colleagues and brings order to the whole team."
Spain success eludes him
"The only thing that was lacking, what I needed to have won it all, was the world title," Gento said once. Despite that, he pulled on the jersey of La Selección Española on 44 occasions and was, for many years, Spain's most capped player. These caps included appearances at both the 1962 FIFA World Cup Chile™ and England 1966, though he would come closer to continental glory with La Roja. However, despite scoring a crucial goal in the qualifying phase for the 1964 European Championship, his place in the official squad for the finals on home soil was eventually taken by Carlos Lapetra, with Spain going on to win their first major title.
Come 1971 and Gento felt the time was right to hang up his boots, the end of an era for Madridistas everywhere. "A final without Paco Gento isn't a final," said La Vanguardia at the time. "Quite the contrary, it's like a final that's lost its shine."
His subsequent coaching career, which took in spells at Castilla, Castellon, Palencia, Granada, as well as in the Real Madrid youth ranks, was less than glorious. Following his time in the dugout, Gento later accepted a position as Los Blancos' European Ambassador.
To date the club have held no fewer than three testimonials for their former wide man, the first of which came in 1965, even before his playing days were over, against Buenos Aires giants River Plate. The next came in 1972, against Os Belenenses, and finally the third arrived on 5 December 2007 in the Trofeo Bernabeu, when Real Madrid took on Partizan Belgrade - the defeated finalists in La Galerna del Cantábrico's sixth and last European Cup success.
"They used to say that I'd run so fast I'd run off the pitch, leaving the ball behind," said Gento, recalling widespread criticism of his early outings for Madrid. "But everything can change depending on your willpower and the sacrifices you're willing to make. You have to really love football and want to be the best." Spoken by a man with a record number of Spanish league titles (12) and European Cups, who would dare to disagree?
Gento made his first division debut against Barcelona in the colours of Racing Santander. He did not last long at Los Racinguistas, however, playing a sum total of ten league games and scoring twice.
Following a 0-0 first-leg draw against Uruguay's Penarol, Gento was among the scorers in the 5-1 second-leg triumph at the Bernabeu that secured victory for Real Madrid in the inaugural Intercontinental Cup in 1960.
Gento was named in the Rest of the World team that faced England at Wembley in 1963 as part of the Football Association's centenary celebrations. Alongside the Spaniard were Lev Yashin (U.S.S.R.), Milutin Soskic (Yugoslavia), Djalma Santos (Brazil), Luis Eyzaguirre (Chile), Karl-Heinz Schnellinger (West Germany), Svatopluk Pluskal (Czechoslovakia), Jan Popluhar (Czechoslovakia), Josef Masopust (Czechoslovakia), Jim Baxter (Scotland), Raymond Kopa (France), Eusebio (Portugal), Denis Law (Scotland), Alfredo Di Stefano (Spain), Uwe Seeler (West Germany), Pele (Brazil) and Ferenc Puskas (Hungary).

My bread collapsed during baking and did not taste good.
91 Ratings
Waaay back in the '70s, this recipe really made the rounds, only we baked it in a casserole dish! Because I already knew it was delicious, I wanted to try this recipe with the bread machine method. Still delicious! Very moist, and subtley flavored by the dill seed (from last summer's garden!). I had to substitute 1 tsp. onion powder for the minced dried onion and, while it was good, I think I like it with the minced dried onion better so I'll be sure to add it to my grocery list. Might be good with minced fresh onion too! Also, the amount of yeast seemed excessive--I used 2 tsp. of bread machine yeast and I had a perfectly risen loaf.
Awesome bread!!! I found this recipe because I needed to use up some cottage cheese. I don't know why eveyone is saying that this is a "half-risen loaf of bread", because mine rose so much I had to poke it down a little! I used allot less yeast, 2 tsp (which is what my bread maker usually calls for, so I went with the usual trend). Also to have yeast rise your bread, you must keep the liquids that you add a little on the warm side; hence, do not put in refridgerater temperature cottage cheese - warm it up in the microwave a little. I hope this helps those a little who can't get their bread to rise.
This recipe has a typo: Use teaspoons of yeast, not tablespoons. Have made this bread about 5 times. I have subbed plain yogurt, sour cream, cr. cheese in place of the cottage cheese. Also, I double the dill (I use dill weed instead of seed) and omit the onion. Awesome bread, delicious, highly recommended!
Very good! I used 1/3 whole wheat flour and dried dillweed instead of seed, and just used the dough cycle on the bread machine. Then I shaped into twelve dinner rolls, sprinkled with water and baked on a sheet dusted with cornmeal at 375 for about 15 minutes. Ended up with these wonderful rustic, crusty rolls. Will definitely make again - with probably both dillweed and seed next time!
Perfect! I love this bread! I had fresh dill on hand, so I used it instead of dried dill. This bread is moist and full of flavor. This is the second time I have made bread from scratch, and am impressed by how easy it was!
Remember to save your dill seeds at the end of the season. This is a treat during the winter.

Faced with aging infrastructure and higher demand because of increased enrollments, the Fairfax County School Board requested an increase to its bond funding from $155 million a year to $169 million.
The additional funding would come from previously approved, but still unsold, general obligation bonds under the voter-approved 2007 and 2009 referenda. The School Board voted unanimously to request higher bond funding before Thanksgiving, and met with the county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday during a joint meeting to discuss this issue and others facing the school.
�The School Board resolution is asking the Board of Supervisors to issue $169 million in bonds that were authorized but not issued yet from the 2007 and 2009 referenda, but FCPS is still limited in its spending to $155 million per year,� schools spokesman John Torre explained. �The amount requested reflects FCPS' $155 million and $14 million for the county's vehicle maintenance facility renovation that was part of the 2007 referendum (the facility also services school buses).�
The county Board of Supervisors is scheduled to authorize the issuance and sale at its meeting on Dec.4.
County officials explained that while the value of bonds issued would remain the same to maintain a responsible level of debt service, the school system was requesting a bigger cut from the bond pie. About two-thirds of bond sales each year are designated for the school system already, said board chairwoman Sharon Bulova (At-large).
�They have tremendous needs for their classrooms, for renovations of their classrooms�.But so do we on the county side,� she said, specifying the need to update through renovations aging police stations and public libraries. Giving more of the annual bond funding to schools �would make it more difficult on the county side as far as what we�re able to do [to fund renovations, improvements] � And we don�t want to jeopardize our AAA bond rating.�
County bond rates are set by rating agencies based on the level of debt held by the locality and their ability to pay off debt. While other fiscal years might make approval of the School Board�s request possible, Bulova said uncertainty with federal spending is already impacting revenues in Northern Virginia and Fairfax County.
She said during Tuesday�s joint Board of Supervisors/ School Board meeting county leadership delivered sobering news about the impacts of the federal sequestration and looming fiscal funding cliff.
�Already we�re seeing some of the effects of expected federal cutbacks and that is impacting the recovery we were expecting [from the financial and housing crisis],� Bulova said. The county is projecting a budget shortfall of $170 million in the next fiscal year, which could make it more difficult to deliver increases in county employee compensation and maintaining existing services, she said.
The School Board�s request for additional bond funding is not unusual, said Bulova, adding that the question has come up almost every year. The school system primarily uses bond funding for school construction, purchasing land for schools and renovations, as well as servicing and repairing school buses and vehicles.

The band The Apples (Hebrew: ×[]תפ×[]×[]×[]×,  {{{2}}}  {{{3}}}) is an Israeli Funk nine piece - including a drummer, bassist, 4 brass, 2 DJs and a sound console operator. The Apples play funk, jazz and groove. The Apples started out in 2002, when a friend assembled the members of RadioTrip (Ofer Tal, known as SchoolMaster, and Uri Wertheim, known as MixMonster), drummer Yoni Levi and bassist Shai Ran. The idea was to create a funky base combined with samples, scratching, and a dominant brass division. Their first impressions were actually spontaneous improvisations, which formed the basis of The Apple's first album, "Mitz" (Hebrew for "juice"), published on 2003, which was recorded in one recording session. Their second album, "Attention!" was released in October 2005. The album launch was accompanied by a tour culminating in New Year's Eve at the "Comfort" club in Tel Aviv in front of an audience of about 700 people. The UK edition of "Attention!" was released in 2006. The record contains a bonus track: "Strip Ahskrac 'first Hebrew'".

Beth Gets Smooch-Crazed At Bedtime In 'Bravest Warriors' #9
As you might expect from the name, Cartoon Hangover's Bravest Warriors spend the vast majority of their time being brave and fighting. It's kind of their entire deal. Next week, though, Joey Comeau and Mike Holmes are finally giving the team a break

Per rotoworld. Seeing the fact our secondary is awful and just gave up 450 yards passing maybe we should take a look at Routt. He has been a decent CB in his career but has been awful this year, he is rated the 16th worst CB by PFF but maybe he is just a product of his environment considering the chiefs are a atrocious. Either way our secondary needs to be addressed because we are still very much in the playoff hunt.
Chiefs released CB Stanford Routt.
We're starting to get scapegoats in Kansas City. Even though Routt is a vested veteran, all players must pass through waivers this time of season. A starter through Week 8, Routt was a healthy scratch for Week 9. Javier Arenas will now start opposite Brandon Flowers, leaving Jalil Brown for nickel duties. Making $6 million in the first year of a three-year deal, Routt has graded out as the 16th worst cornerback in Pro Football Focus' rankings, so the move is justified, if surprising. He should draw plenty of interest as veteran depth for the stretch run.

What will a lunar eclipse look like from moon? Will earth become a completely dark circle?
It would look like a solar eclipse! What happens is that Earth gets in the way between the Sun and the Moon. From Earth we see the Moon disappear, from the Moon one would see the Sun disappear.
Earth is fix on the Moon's sky, because the Moon always turns the same side towards Earth. Earth as seen from the Moon has phases, like the Moon has when seen from Earth. You would see the Earth crescent waning and becoming completely dark as the Sun moves towards it and disappears behind the then invisable Earth. While as seen from Earth, the Moon and the Sun have the same size on the sky, when seen from the Moon Earth will look almost 4 times larger (in diameter) than the Sun, so solar eclipses will last that much longer and be more common than on Earth.
It would look like this (actual picture of the Earth, seen from the Moon, during a lunar eclipse):
Link to full page: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140407.html
The Earth would appear surrounded by a bright ring, even though the Sun is completely hidden behind it. The ring is sunlight refracted through the atmosphere. It's basically all the sunrises and sunsets, seen at once.
The Earth would never appear fully dark. The bright ring around it will always be there. This is due to the atmosphere.
During a lunar eclipse on Earth, the Sun would be eclipsed by the Earth as seen from the Moon:
What this animation does not show is the corona around the Sun (which would be partially visible when the sun has been occulted) and the reddish ring of light that would encircle the Earth due to the sunlight refracted by the atmosphere of the Earth.
Unlike a solar eclipse as seen on Earth, the stars are always visible since there is virtually no atmosphere on the Moon. Of course, until the Sun is totally occulted, it would be hard to see stars close to the Sun and the solar corona due to the brightness of the Sun. Furthermore, the Earth is 4 times as large as the Moon and so would cover most of the corona (or possibly all of the corona if the eclipse is central).
Yeah, you'll see earth as all dark, if it is total lunar eclipse.
In a Lunar eclipse earth comes in between the sun and the moon. Because of this, the sun rays don't reach the surface of moon.
Now answer to your question:
As earth's sunward side is blocking light the other side will be darker. As you are standing towards shadowed side of earth, you cannot see earth at all.
All above explanation is accurate in the case of a total lunar eclipse.

All of the paved walking path that runs throughout the course. Disc must be surrounded by asphalt. The path can only be used for the drives on holes 9, 11, & 13.
Hole 1 - Drive from the pad by the field house. Into the ball fields on the right is OB.
Hole 8 has a stone circled 'frog pond' on the right side of the fairway. It comes into play on the drive. Also, on the approach to the basket is a shallow ditch. In the ditch and surrounded by water is OB. Excess overflow water in this area plays as casual.
Hole 9 - a Mando at the dog-leg. After the dog-leg, a 'frog pond' comes into play on the approach shot to the basket. Black silk fencing on the right side of the fairway plays as casual. Over the black silk fencing behind the basket is OB.

Works like a charm.
These have been blocking light in an upstairs bedroom for over a year and function well.Read More
We had this blind installed on our metal, enterance door to the classroom. It is perfest for the space. No problems with it at all!Read More

Easy to install. Decorative. Durable enough, unless you plan to have kids yanking on it.Read More
Better Sleep With Less Sun Light
Due to our bedroom being in the second floor, the sun LOVES to shine in way too early for us on the weekends. This blackout shade is durable, easy to use and has done exactly what we hoped... Kept the sun out so that we can sleep in even when the sun doesn't want us to.Read More
TRUE blackout shades
I work night shift and was looking for a shade that would BLOCK ALL LIGHT. This shade did just that!! When I pull the shade down it looks like night time, it makes all the difference in a peaceful sleep. I ordered the white, it isn't a bright white, none the less, it's white, not off white or tan. Very easy to hang, just a few screws, I also like there are no strings to pull, just pull down, push up, simple, neat and clean looking. As always with Overstock, fast shipping and packaged well.Read More
Great value for price
Put these up today at my husband's request. I switched to sheer curtains a while back and the old blinds didn't block any light. These work well. They went up without a fuss once I used my own screws. The ones they provided stripped VERY easily when I was screwing them into the holes I'd drilled (I started w/ 3/32 bit and even tried a 7/64. Same result!). I scrounged up some wood screws I'd had leftover from another project and they went up without a hitch. I'd previously hung some cordless shades in our guest room and office and these seem much better quality (those I'd picked up at a local big box store...the one that has the 20% off coupons ;) They're not super expensive, high quality - and that's not what I expected for the price. They block light, they're functional. If they last a few years, I'll be happy.Read More
Shades are awesome roomdarkening for sure!
I have been through MANY blinds and shades for my daugher's room. Her windows are right in the morning sun rise and no matter what we got, the sun would come pouring in and wake her up at the crack of dawn. I ordered these shades and they are awesome!! Her room is totally DARK until we raise the shades. They go up and down So easy and look awesome. We have some in our bedroom that we paid double for and these are much nicer. I just ordered two more for my youngest daughter's room.Read More
Good for price
For the price, these are good shades. Relatively easy to install (I mounted on inside of window frame). Materiall is thick and shades seem sturdy. My only complaints are: (1) they resist being pulled down all the way -- shade pops up a little -- you have to pull it past the window sill then slowly raise it to get shade to rest on the sill; and (2) when down, the shade looks crooked because one side comes out a little farther from the glass than the other -- maybe I installed the brackets crooked? No big deal for a kid's room, but I wouldn't want that look in my family room. I'm going to order another shade but will try the longer length this time in the hopes it will fully extend more easily. Also note shade is about 1/8 inch narrower than stated width.Read More
As expected
These shades were very easy to install and the quality is good. Although they're the right size, there's still a very small gap between the shades and the window frame, allowing some light in. As these were put in our guest bedroom, it's really no big deal. We've also noticed the room is warmer when the shades are pulled down, which is a nice bonus. Well worth the money.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello jmoshi, according to the manufacturer the actual width is 22.5". Thanks for shopping with us! Amanda
Hi. My window is exactly 23 1/2" wide x 35" long. Will I be able to mount this shade on the inside of the window frame? Thanks.
Hello rebecca000, Yes, it should work. Thanks for shopping with us.
Hi, please clarify if these shades can be top down/bottom up. I see 2 different answers by you on Apr 5 and Oct 16, 2013. I am looking for 72"x72" top down/bottom up shades. Thanks.
Hi anitalo, we were able to verify this information with our support team. The blackout shade is NOT a top down/Bottom Up shade but a standard shade. We also do not carry it in a 72x72. The largest we have available when in stock are 48 x 64. We apologize for the inconvenience but hope this clears up the confusion. Thanks for shopping with us.
Hi. Are these shades made out of fabric or something else? I ask because i just bought a blackout shade from a local store and the shade feels like it is made out of a form of cardboard. As a result, any time there is wind that comes through the window, i can hear the shade because its not a soft, quiet fabric. Are these shades here at Overstock fabric? Thanks.
Hello terster32, thank you for your inquiry! This curtain is made out of 100 percent polyester. I hope this helps. Happy shopping!
Will these shades be available in 27 inch again?
Hello castiglione, Items are restocked as they become available; however we cannot guarantee an Item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us.
I am looking for a shade that will fit in my 91 wide and 57 in length. Does this item come in this size?
Hello mma0777, I am very sorry but at this time we do not have that size in this shade. You would probably need to use two shades to cover that much width. This link will take you to some choices. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Blinds-Shades/40-_--49,64-Inches,Cellular-Blinds,/blind-width,blinds-length,type,/6423/subcat.html?sort=Top+Sellers Thank you for shopping with us.
Is there a warranty on this product?
Hello mma0777, I am sorry there is not a warranty on this product. Thank you for shopping with us.
Can these be opened from the top and the bottom?
Hello laurenrh, This shade has received excellent reviews! This shade can only be opened from the bottom, not the top. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
How deep is this shade with the bracket? I am wanting to use it on a door and the door handle can get in the way of the shade.
Thank you for shopping with us mpeter2. The width with bracket is 2 inches. Have a great day.
Can/should these shades be cut to the needed width? The answers have varied on this.
Thank you for contacting us spunk0626. Yes as long as the proper equipment is used. You cannot do it by hand (scissors or knife) as that will create an uneven edge. A proper mechanical cutting saw is needed. Most places that will cut down shades have this equipment. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Are these top down and bottom up shades?
Thank you for your interest in the White Blackout Cordless Cellular Shade. No, they are only top down shades. We apologize for the confusion.
If these can be cut down, where does someone have them cut to fit their window?
Thank you for your interest. You could probably take the shades to a hardware store and have them cut down for a very small cost. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
what is the final actual size of a 36" blind? is it acutally 35 1/2" for example. these details should be listed on the product details tab no?
This item is 23 inches to 48 inches wide by 64 inches long.
Are these shades the same color on the back side as well? If not, what color is the back?
The back is also white.
I need a shade 69 ¼â wide X 22â long. Can you help
Unfortunately, we are only offering this product in one size.
Can these be used on a french door window? The door is wooden.
Yes, it can be used on wooden French door windows.
No, they aren''t available in that size.
The product details for the White Blackout Cordless Cellular Shade say that the blinds are 23" to 48" width but I only see the product options as going to 36" width at most when I scroll down the options menu. We need a 39" width in white. Does this product offer that width?
Yes, this item does come in a 39-inch width. If that width is not listed in the drop-down menu to the right of the product name, that means it is currently out of stock.
Someone asked if they can be outside mounted and the answer was "likely." I need to know if they can be because thats how they have to be mounted because of inside trim.
Yes, the brackets can be mounted either outside or inside the window frame.
Dry wall to dry wall, my window length in 34 and 3/4 inches or 88 cm. Will these blinds fit?
This item comes in a 64-inch length. These should fit your window; you would just not expand it all the way.

Store Launch
30th January, 2011Posted by on
Being as my friends and colleagues over at Axis Maps have met with some success in selling their excellent typographic maps, I thought I would try my had at this whole game of making money on the Internet. So I've put up a few of my river maps up for sale. For more info and some images, click here. We'll see what the future brings. I'm also donating a share of my profits to watershed conservation groups.
A far-off future desire is to expand something like this to encompass the work of others besides myself. I remember I had a student ask me once, "where can I buy cool maps?" I couldn't really tell her where. There are stores that sell reference maps, of course, but there's not really a go-to hub for thematic maps, for cartographic art that you'd want to put on your walls. At least, not one I'm aware of. I have friends and colleagues who have put together great designs, and perhaps someday we can unite together to show everyone that maps are more than for getting from A to B, and give them a place to obtain such things. There's a demand out there for these things, but its fulfillment seems a bit scattered, to me.
Here's a detail image of one of the maps. To see more images, I've set up a page linked here.

Nice maps! I'm buying a Michigan one.

Wow, that's sneaky!
I guess anyone who falls for that deserves to live in Michigan? ;)
Just kidding. I'll stop making fun of it when I move there. Maybe. :)
Dug 9th February, 2011 at 13:48
Nicely done! I like the subtle color scheme. You don't need the typical transit map colors for this purpose. I put some of them up on my blog-hope you don't mind.
How about the Delaware and Susquehanna systems next?

My little girl loves this. She's 9 years old. She was always wanting me to let her wear my perfumes. But I don't really think most adult perfumes belong on a 9 year old. This one is fresh and youthful, and doesn't smell to mature for an older child. I gave it to her for her birthday, and it made her day. Now she has her very own fragrance (and she doesn't constantly beg to wear mine). Great product.

Classical Global Skepticism and the EAAN
Descartes, in establishing his philosophy, proposed a hyperbolic doubt for methodological purposes -- that is, he said, "Let's doubt everything we can and see if there's some level we can't doubt". So he doubted that his senses give him reliable information about the physical world, he doubted that he was awake since it was possible that he was dreaming, etc. When he got to a priori knowledge, such as mathematics, he argued that it's possible that there be an evil genie who manipulates his thought processes whenever he tries to add two numbers together so that he comes up with the wrong answer every time. Of course Descartes wasn't suggesting this as a real possibility, or even that we could doubt such things on a practical level, he was just saying that it's logically possible to doubt it. He ultimately got to the ground level with his cogito: I can't doubt that I'm doubting. Doubting is a form of thought and thought requires a subject who is doing the thinking. As such, I must exist. I think therefore I am (cogito ergo sum).
Now this fails for a very obvious reason. If we're willing to consider the possibility of the evil genie, why can't we just say the genie is also manipulating our thought processes when we try to derive the conclusion of the cogito? Yes it seems as if I can't doubt that I'm doubting, but maybe that's just the evil genie having his way with me. Once the genie is proposed, it applies to everything, including Descartes's argument.
The brains-in-vats scenario is sometimes used in science-fiction. The idea is that we are all disembodied brains being manipulated by scientists or aliens or something to think we are interacting with objects and other people in a physical world. This was used in the Matrix movies, although there they weren't disembodied brains. John Pollock begins his Contemporary Theories of Knowledge with a cute little short story illustrating the problem here. A man finds scientists taking people's brains out of their heads and hooking them up to electrodes. The man is discovered and is told that the people don't know the difference because they're programming them to think that their lives are continuing on without interruption as they had before; they can't tell the difference. The upshot is that, just as the man thinks they're going to do the same thing to him, the scientist laughs and says, "Oh no. We did it to you three months ago." Then they let him go.
Now global skeptical claims are fascinating and they play a huge role in the theory of knowledge. Michael Williams uses them as the main method in establishing his epistemology in his brilliant Problems of Knowledge. But no one takes them seriously as actual possibilities. For whatever reasons, we just don't feel threatened by them. Yes, it's possible that my experiences of the physical world and other people are all illusory, but why should I think so? Simply pointing to the possibility doesn't really make them realistic options. They're just bizarre stories that someone made up. We can certainly use them to further our concept of knowledge, but that's all.
The reason I'm bringing this up is that one of the criticisms given to Alvin Plantinga's Evolutionary Argument against Naturalism (EAAN) is that it is just one more form of global skepticism, and so should be treated the same way. Philosophers already have ways of dealing with such claims, and even if they didn't they wouldn't need them to reject the claim as nothing more than an interesting puzzle.
There's some truth to this: Plantinga's argument is that if naturalism is true, the likelihood that our beliefs would be mostly true is low or inscrutable. Therefore, for any particular belief, regardless of how reasonable it seems, the probability that it be true is low or inscrutable. And of course, naturalism is itself a belief. Therefore, if naturalism is true, belief in naturalism would be irrational. I'll go into more detail about that in future posts, but for now I'll just point out that the unreliability of our cognitive faculties would amount to a form of global skepticism.
There's more to the story though. The problem with traditional global skepticism is that it calls everything into question a priori. Before we have the right (deontologically) to accept any particular belief, we have to show that the belief in question is not subject to the skeptical claim. To do this, however, would require some form of argument -- and that argument would be under the same cloud as the belief it seeks to defend since the skeptical claim would equally apply to it. There's no way out.
However, everyone (except me) accepts that Plantinga is an externalist, and part of the strength of externalist epistemologies is their ability to avoid global skepticism. A belief constitutes knowledge if it is connected in the right way to its object. Thus, if you believe that there is a tree in front of you because there is a tree in front of you, you know it. The global skeptical questions only come into play when we ask second order questions (do you know that you know there is a tree in front of you?). But you do not have to solve that problem before you can know that there is a tree in front of you. Thus externalist epistemologies don't really solve global skepticism so much as they bypass it.
Moreover, Plantinga denies that all beliefs have to be believed for a reason before they constitute knowledge (he calls his epistemology Reidian foundationalism after Thomas Reid); rather, he maintains that some beliefs are properly basic, i.e. they are simply given and we are justified or warranted in accepting them (thus they constitute knowledge) until we have a reason to doubt them. As such, they are not beyond doubt, they can potentially be shown to be false, they are just innocent until proven guilty.
With these two points in mind, Plantinga's EAAN is significantly different from classical global skepticism. First, we do not have to have a reason for a belief if it is properly basic, and such a belief can constitute knowledge even if we don't know that we know it. We are justified, or our beliefs are warranted, up until the point where we have a reason for thinking them to be false. The EAAN provides just such a reason: if naturalism is true, then it is improbable or inscrutable that any given belief would be true. After this, the EAAN has the same effect as the more traditional global skeptical arguments: any reason you can give for a particular belief is itself subject to the EAAN and is therefore not trustworthy. There is no stopping the rot once it's started. Indeed, part of the genius of Plantinga's argument is that it amounts to a global skeptical argument that arises from within externalism. Not to mention the fact that by saying that belief in our cognitive faculties' reliability is warranted until we have some reason to deny it Plantinga is also able to ward off a tu quoque argument being constructed against theism.
Another significant difference is that the other global skeptical claims involve scenarios that are logically possible but that we don't take seriously. Plantinga's, however, involves a scenario that is actually believed by many people, namely naturalism, and even those of us who don't believe it tend to take it seriously (that is, we don't consider it as crazy as the evil genie or brains-in-vats scenarios). It's like if someone came up with an argument that if theism is true, it leads irrevocably to the evil genie scenario. If the argument were sound it would be much more than just an interesting puzzle.
A third difference cuts the other way: traditional global skepticisms posit situations where it is extremely probable, almost certain, that our cognitive faculties are unreliable. Plantinga's EAAN merely argues that it is either less than 50% probable that they are reliable, or if we feel we cannot ascribe any probability, inscrutable. We can certainly modify the traditional scenarios to make them more parallel, but the point is that in their traditional formulation they are stronger than Plantinga's argument.
A fourth difference is that the traditional global skepticisms do not allow for any way out. The brains-in-vats suggestion applies to everybody. But the EAAN allows for a way out, since it only holds if naturalism is true. We can avoid it by simply rejecting naturalism. Since naturalism entails the non-existence of God or any supernatural agency, it follows that in order for us to have knowledge of anything there must be a God or some sort of supernatural agency (although "supernatural" comes with a lot of baggage, so perhaps we could come up with another term that doesn't have as many connotations).
Two final points: first, Plantinga's argument only applies to those who have heard it; the naturalist who hasn't heard the EAAN or a similar one (such as J. R. Lucas's Gödelian Argument against physical determinism) does not have a reason to reject any particular belief. So it's not the case that one has to affirm the existence of God in order to have knowledge. The claim is that there must be some supernatural agency in order for us to have knowledge, not that we have to recognize that there is a supernatural agency. The problem here is very similar to axiological (moral) arguments for the existence of God. The point of these arguments is not that one has to consciously believe in God in order to be a moral person or believe in objective moral truths. Rather the claim is that one is being inconsistent in believing that there are objective moral truths without an objective anchor for them which transcends individual people and cultures. Of course atheists do not deny that murder is immoral, the argument just seeks to show that this is inconsistent with atheism.
Second, when we ask what the supernatural agency in question is, Plantinga immediately points to God. I think instead that the agency is the individual human being. We are supernatural agents, and rational thought is a supernatural process. I would argue further that this ultimately requires God's existence via a less direct route, but that's a post for another day.

Excellent post. You have obviously read a lot more on epistemology than I have. One thing that I don't understand is your refutation of Descartes. The evil genie can't trick you into thinking that you are thinking when your really not because both your thinking and your existence are prerequisites for being tricked. Thus the cognito.
I agree with you that the EAAN can't be treated like global skepticism because it is specifically targeted at the combination of naturalism and evolution. Take one of those away and you've resolved the problem. Also, naturalism is really a metaphysical philosophical theory so it would be more threatened by the EAAN than any other more basic beliefs or really most beliefs about science or how the world works.

The problem with this is that my existence is presented as the conclusion of an argument. If the evil genie is tricking me, then I must exist (there must be someone he's tricking). But the whole point of the evil genie is that we can't trust conclusions of arguments, even deductive (a priori) arguments. All "if ... then" arguments are called into question.
One partial solution is to reject treating one's own existence as the conclusion of an argument. Descartes sets the whole thing up so we can only affirm our own existence via argument and that's simply not why we believe that we exist. Rather, we should treat it as something simply given. We don't have to have a reason for believing that we exist. I think that part of Plantinga's epistemology is right on the money. This doesn't entirely avoid the evil genie scenario (although a lot of epistemologists think the genie can't apply to a priori knowledge at all), but it certainly avoids it at one level.

Ah, I think I'm tracking with you.
Btw, I'm reading Dallas Willard now and am enjoying it. I checked out his book, Knowing Christ Today" from a recommendation on your blog. I love how fluidly he writes. Whether the book is truly good or not however will depend upon whether he can deliver on his claim that Christianity is knowledge rather than just faith or commitment. I think that is a tough bar to meet for anyone so I'll see how that goes.

The best modern psychological research basically confirms the important parts of the EAAN: our reasoning is fallible, our perceptions are subject to physiological, neurological, and psychological errors. In many ways, our brains work just the same way as our evolutionary cousins - other apes, other mammals, etc.
But just because a machine is fallible does not make it useless. A Bayesian approach to reasoning and belief is still valid, even once we acknowledge that all of the bases of our beliefs are imperfect.
Actually, it seems to me that something very like Plantinga's concept of "warranted belief" can be used to rescue naturalism from the problem he thinks he has discovered. If it is the case that evolution would favour organisms whose beliefs are true over those whose beliefs are false, then we are warranted in accepting our beliefs even knowing that they are constrained by our evolutionary history.

- Jim S. said...
Well, Timothy, people have always known that our cognitive abilities are fallible and can be impacted by physiological issues. The first person who ever got drunk figured that out. The debate over fallibilism in epistemology is not about whether we are fallible but whether knowledge is fallible. If it is, then it would be possible to know something that is false, which seems to be a contradiction. But if we hold it up to that standard then we can't be certain of anything.
At any rate, you're missing the challenge of the EAAN. Classical global skepticism played on the fact that our knowledge is not 100%. The EAAN claims that if naturalism is true any particular belief one selects has a 50% chance or less of being correct. In other words, you have a defeater for that belief, a reason for withholding belief in that proposition. You can't defend that belief by giving an argument for it, because the belief that the argument is successful itself has only a 50% chance or less of being true. In other other words, it is irrational to believe anything. It's not merely a matter of being fallible but of being unreliable. Of course the argument may fail, but that's what it claims to show. In order to avoid it one has to reject naturalism.

Jim, thanks for the clarifications.
I suppose this is why I'm not a philosopher. My main interest is in whether my beliefs (or people's beliefs in general) are fallible - and to what extent, and in what circumstances. The question of whether "knowledge" is fallible seems to balance rather precariously on the definition of the term "knowledge". I recognize this is not a trivial question, but I feel that some intuitive correspondence theory version is probably good enough for most discussions.
Reading over the EAAN link you gave, it seems to me that part of the disagreement here may be a matter of definition. Plantinga makes much of the fact that beliefs may be causally unconnected to behaviour, and thus invisible to natural selection. Fine, but then they are less interesting. I know that sounds like a dodge. On the other hand, it seems strange that Plantinga is talking about "reliable" and "unreliable" beliefs, while explicitly disavowing the necessity of a causal connection between beliefs and behaviours. Surely a "reliable" belief would be one that, if it were used to drive behaviour, could be generally relied on to produce a desired result.
I think I'd want to see a good solid definition of "knowledge" or "belief" before accepting his criticism that beliefs may correspond only syntactically rather than semantically to the truth. What is the important distinction between these two? What makes a proposition syntactically "true" but semantically "false"? (I'm not trying to be cheeky here - as a linguist, I recognize that there may be an important distinction here, but I don't know what the philosophical definitions are that Plantinga is using.)
I appreciate his calculation of probabilities, but I just don't find his estimates of the probabilities to be particularly compelling (as he seems to anticipate).
Finally, setting aside the (to me uninteresting) causally unconnected beliefs, I think my comment about evolution producing "warranted beliefs" may still apply. Of course, knowing how evolution works, we would only be warranted to provisionally accept any particular belief. But I would submit that, knowing human fallibility, the same could be said of warranted Christian belief.

This is where I don't get philosophers. The whole argument is based on an "if x, then y" construction (as best I understand it). But it only takes a cursory examination of the argument to realise Plantinga's "x" hinges on a failure to understand basic biology.
What I fail to grasp is why anyone cares? Plantinga erects and defeats a strawman. His argument may be interesting, but since the caricature he defeats is based only on his misunderstanding or misrepresentation of basic biology.
While I understand that the structure of the argument may be interesting to philosophers, the conclusions lack any validity. So it baffles me that people continue to discuss the implications of the conclusions.
- January 31, 2012 at 6:04 AM
- Jim S. said...
Ian, Plantinga's claim is philosophical, not biological. Even the most naturalized of naturalized philosophers will still insist that what they're doing is philosophy, not science. You can certainly point out that, insofar as they are relying on science, that the science has to be valid. But then I don't see what basic biological facts Plantinga's philosophy contradicts.
At any rate, my point in this post is not to defend his argument but simply to show the similarities and differences between it and traditional global skepticism.

Hi, very nice analysis.
the problem I find with Plantinga's argument is its kind of circularity.
suppose that I am a naturalist. Now why I should believe that I have a defeater for R? Isn't it because of accepting the first premise of EAAN, i.e. "P(R/N+E) is low"? Of course it is. So in order to accept the second premise, I, the naturalist, must BELIEVE that the first premise (I will call it Q, hereafter) is true. Q is one of my beliefs which is produced by my cognitive faculties, and if I have a defeater for R, then I will have a defeater not only for N+E, but also for Q; and this makes the argument problematic. Plantinga supervenes the truth of Q over N+E, though he does not have any good reason to do so while the cognitive reliability is the subject of discussion. We can call this error "non-reasonable truth supervention".
If I have enough evidence for natural selection, then I can arbitrarily comprise "evolutionary argument against professor Plantinga":
2) Anyone who accepts (believes) "P(R/ N&E) is low" and sees that N&E are true has a defeater for R.
3) Anyone who has a defeater for R has a defeater for any other belief she thinks she has, including "P(R/ N&E) is low" itself.
4) If one who accepts "P(R/ N&E) is low", thereby acquires a defeater for "P(R/ N&E) is low" , "P(R/ N&E) is low" is self-defeating and can't rationally be accepted. Conclusion: "P(R/ N&E) is low" can't rationally be accepted.
What if naturalism will be proved by evidence? Then how would we act? deny it, for the sake of an analytic argument?
the problem is with the form of argument which ultimately leads to self referring propositions like
I am truthful or I am liar.

Nope, it sure doesn't. On that camera, its only got an internal mic. Your options are:
No, you cannot plug in a microphone into the D90. There really isn't.
I would recommend you to buy a Zoom H1 which is a separate sound recording device that records sound onto SD cards. It is rather cheap, but has much, much better sound quality than the D90's built in microphone. Actually it' much better than the D7000's build in microphone as well.

Wadood nets career-high as ETSU opens SoCon slate with win
Saturday, December 06, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 6, 2003) - East Tennessee State head coach Murry Bartow had a simple message to his team as the Buccaneers entered the locker room trailing Georgia Southern 48-46 at halftime of Saturday's game at Memorial Center. That message focused on senior forward Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.). "The gist of what I said at halftime was to get on Zakee's back and let him carry us," Bartow said. "I don't know where to start. He's just such a warrior." Indeed, Wadood was the difference against the Eagles, setting a career-high with 30 points and picking up his 20th career double-double in helping the Bucs to a hard-fought 91-85 victory over Georgia Southern in the Southern Conference opener for both teams. The Bucs improved to 5-1 overall, 1-0 in SoCon play, the best start by an ETSU men's basketball team since the 1991-92 season. Meanwhile, GSU dropped to 3-2, 0-1. Wadood - who is now just six shy of 1,000 points for his career - finished the game hitting on 8-of-15 shots from the floor, including a 2-of-4 clip from beyond the 3-point line. At the charity stripe, he was 12-of-15, while picking up 12 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and a steal. Yet Wadood was not alone on the offensive end, as every ETSU starter reached double figures. Sophomore guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) scored 16 points, both senior forward Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) and sophomore guard Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) picked up 14, and junior guard James Anthony (Tampa, Fla.) adding 13 points. Defensively, ETSU struggled to stop GSU in the first half, as they attempted to utilize a man-to-man defense. However, Bartow made the switch to a zone look in the second half and it made all the difference. After shooting 49 percent (19-of-39) in the first half, the Eagles hit on only 35 percent of their field goal attempts after the break and the Bucs took advantage. Georgia Southern held the lead at 56-53 with just over 15 minutes to play, but the Bucs outscored the Eagles 22-9 over the next seven minutes to take a 75-65 lead with 8:27 remaining. ETSU led by nine points at 85-76 with 1:46 remaining when Southern made one last run, cutting the lead to 86-83 with less than a minute to go, but that was as close as the game would get. For Georgia Southern, Terry Williams scored a team-high 18 points, while Frank Bennett added 17. Three other Eagles reached double-figures, with Jean Francois, Elton Nesbitt and Sean Olivier netting 15, 11 and 10 points, respectively. ETSU will take a nine-day break to study for finals, and will return to action on Dec. 15 when they travel to take on Atlantic Coast Conference foe Clemson at 7:30 p.m. Meanwhile, Georgia Southern will also return to action on Dec. 15 at Wagner beginning at 7 p.m.

Lorde: Five Things To Know
November 19, 2013 via Pepsi
Lorde: Five Things To Know
Whether you know it or not you have undoubtedly heard Lorde in the last few months. From the club, to the radio, and all down the aisles of the grocery store her #1 single "Royals" has taken over the music world. It might seem like she's suddenly one of the biggest faces in pop music, but really she's a fresh face in the industry. With a number one hit that helped her kick major stars like Katy Perry, Robin Thicke and Rihanna down a few spots on the Billboard Hot 100, the young singer is poised to be the next big thing in pop. So just who is Lorde? In case someone brings her up at a party, we created this five-point guide that'll turn you into a Lorde expert in no time. Following up the release of her debut album, here are the five things you need to know about the breakout sensation.
1. "Royals"
Her single "Royals" is hotter than the sun. Her intoxicating, refreshing vocals and deep, yet ultimately relatable lyrics have made the song the biggest hit of 2013. Fans of all kinds of music, from bubble gum pop to hip-hop heads, have been swept up in the "Royals" frenzy. The cut, hosting a snapping, minimalist beat allows for her youthful, unique vocals to really shine. Watch the music video above.
2. Other Artists Love Her Too
"Royals" is so big, it has earned the right to be remixed buy more than a few artists. The Weeknd, one of the biggest name on the R&B scene currently, put his own spin on it. Even underground hip-hop heads are feeling it. ANTHM, one of hip-hop's most heralded young artists gave the song a hip-hop makeover. Her sound screams "sample me!" So expect to hear more remixes and guest appearances alongside some of music's biggest names very soon.
3. She's From New Zealand
Lorde hails from New Zealand. There have been a long line of international pop-stars to make a splash here in the U-S-of-A, but most hail from Australia and Europe. Lorde's success could blaze a trail for her fellow Kiwis. She has already hit it big there, and now she has her sights set on America. From there it looks like world domination comes next.
4. She's Only a Teenager
It might be had to believe, but Lorde is only 17-years-old. She might not be able to get her driver's license, but she can certainly sing. She sings with so much confidence, ease and wisdom she sounds like a seasoned veteran, but her true youth just serves to make her all the more incredible. In the wise words of Aaliyah, "Age ain't nothing but a number."
5. What's Up Next for Lorde
With a sound that blends a little bit of Lana Del Ray with The xx and Massive Attack, it is no wonder her latest EP dominated the charts all over the world. So much so that she was offered a deal with Songs Music Publishing worth a reported $2.5 million. What does a 17-year-old do with that kind of money? If you've heard "Royals," you can bet she won't be buying a Maybach any time soon. Then again, she won't be counting dollars on the way to the party either. Congrats Lorde! Keep up with her latest on Twitter.
