SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 661,597, dated November 13, 1900.
Application filed. March 24, 1899.
To ctZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, MARTIN BEHRENs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Appleton, in the county of Outagamie and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Screw-Threading Devices, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in pipe-cutting and screw-threading devices.
The object of my invention is to provide a device which can be used interchangeably for cutting pipes and for threading pipes and nipples.
In the following description reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation with parts broken away to show the interior construction, both die-holders being shown in a position for use, but without threading-dies, and the pipe being partially inserted through the vise and the die-holder supported thereon in order to indicate the position occupied by the pipe. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the end provided with the rotary die-holder. Fig. 3 is a top view of the vise. Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view of the vise drawn on line a: so of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a sectional view drawn on line y y of Fig. 1. Figs. 6 and 7 are front and side views, respectively, of the pipe-cutter. Fig. 8 is a face view of the rotary die, illustrating the use of a jam-collar.
Like parts are identified by the same reference-letters throughout the several views.
A is a bed from which the parts of my machine are supported.
13 is a die-frame provided with a dovetailed base I), slidably engaged in a corresponding channel in the bed. The outer end ofthe base I) is recessed for the reception of an adjusting-block b, which is engaged by the adjust ing-screw a, the latter being secured in suitable bearings a at the other end of the bed. By turning the screw in the block b the vise may be drawn toward the opposite end of the bed in an obvious manner.
Referring to the construction of the vise itself, it will be observed, Fig. 5, that it is provided with oppositely-disposed jaws O C, removably located in screw-blocks O, which are supported upon right and left screwthreaded shafts D, so that by turning the shafts D the jaws ,O 0 will be simultaneously serial. No. 710,315. @110 m del.)
adjusted away from or toward each other. The shafts are actuated by means of a handwheel E, the motion of which is communicated to the shafts and jaws through the shank e, gear-wheel e, and shaft gear-wheels d. The vise-frame is also provided with a removable die-frame F, the purpose of which is hereinafter more fully explained. The frame F is provided with angular supporting-arms f, which are adapted to slidably engage projecting guides G at the sides of the vise-frame B, the arms) being adapted to bear upon the shoulders g at the lower ends of the guides G.
At the opposite end of the bed from that at which the vise is located I have provided a rotary die-holder, of which H is the supporting-frame, rigidly mounted upon the bed. I is a hollow shaft rotatably mounted in the frame and actuated by means of a crank or lever applied to the shaft J, from which mo tion is communicated to the shaft I through the gear-wheels j and K, the latter being keyed to the shaft I. The gear-wheel j is preferably arranged to communicate its motion to the large gear-wheel K, through the gears M and M',-in addition to its direct engagement, the object of this construction being to relieve the strain which the individual teeth would be subjected to if but a singlegearwheel were used; but where light duty is required the shaft I may be actuated directly by means of a lever L inserted through it, as illustrated in Figv 1. 7
It will be observed that the shaft I carries a rotary die-frame N, which is held thereby in a position opposite to the stationary dieframe F, supported by the vise B. The frames F and N are adapted to receive any ordinary form of die either of the integral or adj ustabletype.
Referring now to the pipe-cutter, (shown in Figs. 6 and 7,) it will be observed that the frame 0 is provided with offset arms P, adapted to engage the edges of the die-frame, to which it is secured by means of bolts P. The pipe is engaged between a cutting-wheel Q and bearing-roller R R, mounted, respectively, in oppositely-disposed head-blocks S and adjusted by means of screws T, swiveled to the head-blocks. i The pipe being held by the vise, the rotary die-holder turns the frame 0 and carries the cutting-wheel transversely around the pipe, the screws T being adjusted at intervals to correspond with the depth of the cut.
When my device is used for screw-threading pipes in the ordinary manner, the stalionary die-frame F is usually removed and the pipe inserted between thegripping-jaws of the vise, the latter being then moved toward the rotary die-holder until the end of the pipe enters the die-frame. The vise is then adjusted by means'of the screw (1 until the end of the pipe is brought into forcible contact with the die, when" the die-holder is rotated, as above explained, to cut the threads.
For threading nipples, however, I replace the stationary die-frame F, and in. the rear of the dies N in the frames F and N, I place a jam-collar U, of such size as to engage the ends of the nipple, a rod or smaller pipe being preferably inserted through the nipple to reinforce it. The vise being drawn up to bring the nipple into contact withvboth dies, and the nipple being forced into such cone tact by the screw a, the rotary die-holder is turned to cut the threads as above described. It is obvious that if the nipple turns it will be, threaded by the stationary die and that if it remains stationary it will be threaded by the rotary die, but that in either case it will on reaching the jam-collar behindeither die become fixed in such die, and the oppos- -.ing die will then operate to thread the other end of the nipple. The short pieces notbeing engaged by the vise are free to either turn. with. the rotary: die or to be held by the-stationary die. Whether the pipe will turn on not depends, therefore, upon the resistance encountered by the respective dies,
, Forcut'ting right and left threads the pipesection is engaged'either by the vise or he,- tweeIi't-hedies and the thread cut on one end 1 This die is then removed and an oppositely-formed die inserted, when the pipe-section is reversed in position and.
"slides freely in the bed.
serted in the stationary die and held therein by a pipe-wrench while the rotary die is being turned in: the oppositedirection.
It will be observed that as soon as the pipe is, engagedby the die of the rotary die-holder the progressive movement of the die will draw the vise forwardly independently of and away from the screw-block b,.as the vise It is therefore not necessary to: actuate. the screw (2, except to bring the pipe into forcible engagement with the die.
Havingthus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is.
1. llhe combination of bed; a pipe-holding viseslidably mounted therein; an adjusting-screw mounted in the bed and extending through. an aperture, in the base of the pipeholding vise; a feed-nut screw-block engaged by said screw in the rear of the vise; and a rotary die-holder mounted'on said bed and adapted to cooperate with the vise; together with a die-holder provided with supportingarmsadapted to removably engage the frame of the vise.
2. The combination of a bed; apipe-holding vise slidabl-y mount-ed. therein; a dieholder provided with supporting-arms adapt: ed to removably engage the frame of the vise; and. a rotary die-holder mounted on. the bed in cooperative relation with the'vise and the removable die-lolder supported thereby; together with means for adjusting the vise longitudinally of the bed.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

I really do like the covers. They look nice, are thick and protective. But their was a portion of the seat that tucks between the seat and back that binds up. It probably needs to be evaluated for the cut. Also, the front of the seat is a little too tight and the corner is already separating at the seem. The seat side could be another 1/2 inch longer; it keeps coming out from being tucked into the side panel.

Our benchmark research on next-generation business planning finds that a large majority of companies rely on spreadsheets to manage planning processes. For example, four out of five use them for supply chain planning, and about two-thirds for budgeting and sales forecasting. Spreadsheets are the default choice for modeling and planning because they are flexible. They adapt to the needs of different parts of any type of business. Unfortunately, they have inherent defects that make them problematic when used in collaborative, repetitive enterprise processes such as planning and budgeting. While it's easy to create a model, it can quickly become a barrier to more integrated planning across the business units in an enterprise. As I've noted before, software vendors and IT departments have been trying – mainly in vain – to get users to switch from spreadsheets to a variety of dedicated applications. They've failed to make much of a dent because although these applications have substantial advantages over spreadsheets when used in repetitive, collaborative enterprise tasks, these advantages are mainly realized after the model, process or report is put to use in the "production" phase (to borrow an IT term).
Host Analytics Modeling Cloud is designed to address the needs of people who – often working alone – create representations of the business or portions of the business used in a collaborative planning process. These individuals often create analyses and reports that complement the planning process. To date most dedicated applications have been far more difficult than spreadsheets for the average business user to use in the design and test phases. To convince people to switch to its dedicated application, a vendor must offer an alternative that lets users model, create reports, collect data and create dedicated data stores as easily as they can do it in a desktop spreadsheet.
Modeling Cloud is designed to integrate individual businesses unit plans with a company's financial planning, forecasting and budgeting. It attempts to address the spreadsheet problem by enabling individuals in business units to create and update plans and budgets and their underlying models in a way that is consistent with what they are used to doing, but also makes it easy to tie these together to achieve an integrated company-wide view. Compared to desktop spreadsheets, this approach better enables a company to analyze and refine plans and budgets. It also facilitates advanced modeling capabilities such as rolling quarters forecasting and contingency and what-if planning. Compared to desktop spreadsheets, with Modeling Cloud it's much easier to consolidate the plans from multiple contributors and then drill back down into individual plans and their underlying assumptions. The software also has mobile features that enable individuals to review, contribute and approve plans and budgets on the go. Each of these capabilities increase the business value of the company's planning and budgeting.
People and businesses plan in order to be successful. Companies do a lot of planning – some formal and some informal – about all aspects of the business including sales, production, headcount, distribution and the supply chain. Done properly, planning is the best way to get everyone organized in executing the plan. At that point they can take advantage of collaboration, which is essential to effective planning and budgeting. Our research finds that in the large majority (85%) of companies that collaborate well in their planning and budgeting processes participants regard it as well managed. Dedicated applications work better than desktop spreadsheets when it comes to bringing individual models, plans, budgets and forecasts into an integrated companywide view. In contrast it's difficult and time-consuming to combine desktop spreadsheets into a consolidated view, and it's even harder and more tedious to look back into the underlying data in seeking a better understanding of important differences between individual plans and models.
Modeling Cloud is designed to address an important need in corporate planning – closely tying all aspects of business planning to financial planning and budgeting and helping organizations collaborate across business silos. Our research shows that integrated planning works better, as I have written : Two-thirds of companies in which information in individual plans is directly linked have a planning process that works well or very well, compared to 40 percent in which the information must be copied and only 25 percent where there is little or no connection. As a rule, providing users with a familiar environment in which to create business models, create and compare different business scenarios, analyze actuals and create reports goes a long way toward mitigating the difficulty of having to learn to use a new tool that has been a barrier to the use of dedicated planning software across an enterprise and makes it easy to directly link plans. Business planning can be more effective if individuals have software that gives them a high degree of flexibility to create models and plans in a way that works comfortably for them yet also facilitates the integration of everyone's plans into a consolidated view. Our research shows that dedicated planning applications can help users align their plans with strategy and the rest of the organization. For example, companies that use them said twice as often that they are able to estimate accurately one plan's impact on others as those that use spreadsheets. In addition, two out of three that have dedicated applications said they are satisfied with their planning process and that their plans are accurate.
Information technology has the potential to make business planning more useful, as I have noted, enabling it to improve a company's performance and increase its competitiveness. One of the necessary tools for more fully integrating business and financial planning is a software and data environment that enables business people to plan their part of the business in a way that is familiar, productive and useful to them in achieving their objectives. That environment also must enable them to communicate the financial consequences of their business plan to inform the financial forecasting, planning, budgeting and review processes. Host Analytics Modeling Cloud is designed to do that. It's not a perfect substitute for spreadsheets, which still excel in their ability to help people quickly translate their thoughts into models and reports. But because Modeling Cloud eliminates most of the hassles and defects of spreadsheets (for example, the ability to quickly store, retrieve and consolidate data from a single authoritative source), it is ultimately a much more attractive alternative. I recommend that Host Analytics customers assess using Modeling Cloud in their organization and that buyers of dedicated planning applications include this type of capability in their evaluation of vendors' offerings.

Revenue recognition standards for companies that use contracts are in the process of changing, as I covered in an earlier perspective. As part of managing their transition to these standards, CFOs and controllers should initiate a full-scale review of their order-to-cash cycle. This should include examination of their company's sales contracts and their contracting process. They also should examine how well their contracting processes are integrated with invoicing and billing and any other elements of their order-to-cash cycle, especially as these relate to revenue recognition. They must recognize that how their company structures, writes and modifies these contracts and handles the full order-to-cash cycle will have a direct impact on workloads in the finance and accounting department as well as on external audit costs. Companies that will be affected by the new standards also should investigate whether they can benefit from using software to automate contract management or in some cases an application that supports their configure, price and quote (CPQ) function by facilitating standardization and automation of their contracting processes.
The soon-to-be-implemented revenue recognition standards (called ASC 606 or "Topic 606" in the U.S. and IFRS 15 in most other developed countries) will fundamentally change how companies that use contracts in business account for revenue from them. They will not affect those that rarely if ever use formal or implied contracts in the normal course of business. And almost all corporations that use standard contracts that cover a straightforward transaction (such as a one-time sale of some good or service) where the terms are satisfied within a relatively short period of time are likely to find little change to their accounting treatments and processes. However, corporations that don't fall into these categories will benefit from a thorough re-examination of the structure and wording of their sales contracts and the processes they use for creating, negotiating and reviewing sales contracts.
To minimize the impact of the new revenue recognition standards on finance department workloads, companies ought to standardize sales contracts and automate as much of the order-to-cash cycle as possible. Although strictly speaking the new revenue recognition process requires companies to manage contracts one-by-one, companies can treat sets of similar contracts or similar performance obligations that are part of a contract in the same way if the overall impact on its financial statements will not be materially different from applying the same approach to the individual contracts or individual performance obligations. In other words, the specific wording of the sales contract is irrelevant if the substance of the contract or individual performance obligations that are part of that contract are substantially the same. Thus the objective of reviewing a company's sales contracts is to find ways to achieve the highest possible degree of standardization (that is, making contracts, parts of contracts and performance obligations under those contracts identical) or commonality (achieving sufficient similarity to apply the identical accounting treatment). At the end of the review, controllers should be able to implement a process that can map all contract elements to a set of accounting treatments that are at least plausible under the new principles. (Compared to current U.S. accounting standards, the new approach to revenue recognition is more principles-based and far less prescriptive.) Such standardization is extremely helpful in a principles-based accounting approach because it will ensure consistency in how the company treats specific types of contracts and their specific elements. Doing so will facilitate internal reviews and external audits. It will also lay the groundwork for automating the classification of contracts and contract elements, which can reduce finance department workloads as well.
Up to now, a major concern in drafting sales contracts has been covering all the legal bases. Typically, how to organize a contract has been at best an afterthought. This will need to change. CFOs and controllers should insist that all of their sales contracts (or contract templates) be structured in a fashion to make it easy to account for them. By analogy, in the manufacturing world, engineers often constrain their designs to make a product easier or less expensive to produce (for instance, by using similar components across multiple products or relaxing tolerances) or cheaper to maintain (by making replaceable components easier to access). With the advent of the new revenue recognition standards, legal departments or outside counsel must now pay attention to the structure and wording of contracts to facilitate accounting and auditing processes. In negotiating the wording of a sales contract, company representatives must be trained to be sensitive to changes that can have a material impact on revenue recognition from the standard and also to understand when such changes will not make a difference. In the new revenue recognition regime, "sloppy drafting" now includes needless complexity or lack of standardization in a sales contract, not just ambiguities and omissions. Moreover, as much as possible, the wording of the contract should include language that clarifies the accounting treatment by the seller. For example, explicitly stating whether intellectual property that is part of a performance obligation is either symbolic or functional simplifies accounting and auditing by eliminating a potential ambiguity. Making the distinction explicit is useful because that characteristic determines whether revenue from that intellectual property must be recognized over the term of the contract (if it's symbolic) or at a point in time (if it's functional). It's important for finance executives to work with their legal department or outside counsel to appreciate the importance of having sales contracts that minimize workloads for their department. Our benchmark research on recurring revenue suggests that it's common for people working in one part of a business to be unaware of issues their colleagues in other parts face. For example, when it comes to invoicing the research finds a major disconnect between the finance department and the rest of the company. Nearly half (47%) of participants working outside of finance and accounting said they are satisfied with their company's ability to produce invoices for their recurring charges, compared to only 29 percent of those in accounting roles. The gulf between the two reflects the reality that when parts of a business process are performed without regard to their impact on finance department operations, invoicing becomes a highly labor-intensive effort. Indeed, of those not satisfied with their invoicing, four out of five (79%) said it requires too much work, two-thirds (68%) said it involves too many resources, and more than half (54%) said it takes too long.
To be sure, standardization is either difficulipt or impractical for very large or complex transactions. And, in some cases, customers will insist (successfully) on writing the sales contract "on their paper." (That is, the buyer's side provides the contract that forms the basis of the negotiated result in order to better control the negotiating process and minimize the risk of the buyer being subjected to unfavorable terms and conditions.) However, unless these instances are common and unavoidable, they amount to exceptions that do not affect the need for consistency and commonality in a company's sales contracts. Even in the case of exceptions, corporations should define and document a standardized framework and process for determining how to handle the accounting in the five-step revenue recognition framework laid out in the standards as easily and consistently as possible.
Invoicing and billing are a part of the order-to-cash process that benefits from automation. This process is relatively straightforward for companies that exclusively or mainly have contracts for stand-alone transactions where the performance obligations to the customer are met over a relatively short period of time (no more than a month or two). Generally, ERP or corporate financial management systems will be able to automate the process and related accounting.
However, companies that engage in subscription or recurring revenue relationships with customers, or those that have contracts covering longer-lived transactions (such as projects), will find it useful to have dedicated software to automate their invoicing and billing and serve as an authoritative source system that drives revenue recognition. Subscription and recurring revenue relationships often involve frequent changes to deliverables, which complicate invoicing and billing as well as the revenue recognition process under the new standards. In our research more than twice as many (86%) companies that use a third-party dedicated billing system said they are satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the software they use for invoicing as those that use spreadsheets (40%).
Finance executives in companies that will be subject to the new revenue recognition standards should not overlook the impact that the structure of their sales contracts and contracting process can have on their accounting department. I recommend that they scrutinize their contracts and contracting processes to determine how their design can be used to minimize finance department workloads under the new standards. They should examine how well their contracting processes are integrated with invoicing and billing and any other elements of their order-to-cash cycle, especially as these relate to revenue recognition.

The cover fits well - it took a bit more to install then the write-up stated but it wasn't that bad. The adjusting was a little tricky and when done all was fine. As for it being water tight it didn't hold up to the resent "Nor'easter" we had with rain driven by 60 mph winds. It must have leaked a small amount because the small carpet I put in to test for water was damp.

Keep The Engine Going, That Hot Water Flowing
It's a cliche, played out most recently in the Hugh Grant film "Nine Months," that a husband loses control of his emotions - and maybe a major organ or two - the first time his wife goes into labor.
But the more dependable view may be that each succeeding child evokes a calming effect.
Take movie star Tom Hanks, for example. Hanks is expecting his fourth child with wife Rita Wilson in January.
"It's very different to have your first child when you're 21 and your fourth kid at the age of 39," Hanks told TV's Extra. "I'm a little calmer about the way things are going to go."
And what does he remember? "As I recall, the father's side of this thing is pretty easy," he said. "I simply supply the ice chips and damp cloth and encouragement."
Loose Talk
Willie Nelson on his philosophy of performance (on America Online): "If I show up, it's the best accomplishment of the day. If I put on a good show, that's the second best. I don't really like to think about it any further."
He's the leader of the club that's made for you and me
Mickey Mouse turns 67 today.
Under things we hate, list holiday gift-buying
If you pick up a copy of the Tyco Games Co. board game "Love It Or Hate It," you may be surprised to know that it was invented by actress Daryl Hannah. The game retails for $15.
With fame, Clooney rejects the open-door policy
There are worse problems to endure, but "E.R." star George Clooney isn't interested. He just wants a bit of privacy at home. "People started showing up at my house because my house was right on the street," he told the TV interview show "Extra." "It became an everyday thing… and it became a problem for me. So I needed to get behind a gate."
And somewhere in there, he'll learn to set his guitar afire
To help actor Paul Keating prepare for his role in a new $4.7 million production of "Tommy," The Who guitarist Pete Townshend, promises to "nurture his talent with long sessions of deep background in which Paul will eat jellied eels, learn to ride a Vespa, discover his inner child and prepare himself selflessly to pay huge tax bills."
Movies obscene? Not always, but the deals sure are
So why did Michael Ovitz, the movieland agent who some called the most powerful man in the business, quit his agency to become president of Walt Disney Studios. How about money? According to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Ovitz could earn up to - count it - $448 million on stock options over the next eight years.
And I said, 'Charles? You're having whom for lunch?'
We'll probably know all about it by then, but Princess Diana's interview that the BBC will broadcast on Monday will be shown on American television Nov. 24. Barbara Walters will present the taped talk.

The advisory board for the University of New Mexico, Los Alamos campus as well as the school's administration recently took a hard look at the school's proposed budget for fiscal year 2015,
Though the UNM-LA proposed budget for 2015 is a little leaner than the current year's budget, it won't be meaner, in that the school's administration has managed to preserve all of the classes and services students will need to complete their degree programs.
"We have no plans to discontinue any degree or certificate programs we currently have listed in our roster." Campus Director Dr. Cedric Page said. He also added that the school is currently pursuing grants that will help aid student performance, and that they will be trying new strategies to increase the enrollment numbers for next year.
UNM-LA's approved budget last year was $5.9 million; this year's proposed budget is $5.5 million. Though the advisory board put its stamp of approval on it Monday, it still has to go before the University of New Mexico's Board of Regents for final approval sometime in the next 10 to 15 days.

It is noteworthy that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are proposing increases in the estate tax. As always, the latter are putting forth their usual lame arguments for lowering or eliminating it.
What would you do if every time that you gave your child allowance, he or she spent it and then some? What if over a period of years, your child not ...
Obama won gays, latinos, 18-29s, and women by, respectively, 50/35/25/11 points -- and ran 40 points better than Romney on who favored middle class over big business. Ron Reagan and Mary Matalin debate whether a Republican Reset means 'evolving' on tax rates and "social issues."
One of the great lies of our time is that raising taxes on the wealthy hurts job creation and undermines economic growth. There is absolutely no evidence anywhere in the world that this claim is true. In fact, all the evidence points to the exact opposite being true.
The Alternative Minimum Tax is in need of reform. Conservatives like to argue that corporate tax increases would hurt small business. But this proposal would not touch small business. They also contend that focusing on the rich doesn't raise enough money. This is also false.
Selecting Jamie Dimon would be a gift to the powerful investment bank constituency plying their trade already in the all too comfortable niche of 'too big to fail.'
There is a relatively simple proposal that the president make that could raise more money than the nominal rate increase he wants, be progressive in its impact, and produce a more equitable and widely understood tax system.
For most business leaders, their current role is not where they intend to stay until they die. At the right time, they all intend to make a graceful exit, and leave while still perceived to be on top of their game.
I am not remotely against the rich: It would be great if many more were rich. But to simplify for the sake of a useful argument, we need to distinguish at least two kinds of rich: the good in-it-together rich and the bad in-it-only-for-themselves rich.
Wealthy American households are not simply capitalists who choose not to invest in charity. Instead, there truly is a fundamental social disconnect that prevents wealthy households from exercising the empathy and consideration for other American citizens that middle-class households exhibit.
Forget the "Buffett rule." It's not enough. What's more, "letting the Bush tax cuts expire for the rich" isn't enough either -- although it might get us halfway there.
Brown's plans to match his big budget cuts with new revenues were already somewhat complicated by heiress Molly Munger's rival income-tax-hike-for-the-schools initiative. But a much bigger threat emerged in dramatic fashion late last week.
Buffett's methodology as an extremely successful investor and one of the wealthiest billionaires was and is to act as a good reporter and "assign" himself a story each day to learn the true value of a company.
Mitt Romney (R-MA) says that people who do not pay income taxes are not accountable, do not take responsibility for their lives. There are thousands of millionaires and many corporations who do not pay income taxes. Indeed, Mitt may be one of them himself.
Why not starve government, since the misinformation gang opposes almost any form of financial or environmental regulation, while neglecting aging infrastructure and falling behind other developed countries in education?
They might have some abstract legal "right" to vote -- but not the deeply rooted right to vote that only comes from the exercise of responsible proprietorship. And besides, what does not having a photo ID in this day and age testify to if not an absence of that responsibility?

I've had beach all issues with projects carried forward from 10.0.2 and 10.0.3, and some weird new crashes. But with a brand new project, started clean in 10.0.4 FCP has been awesome. Faster, snappier, never crashes, works great.
Like apple recommended, don't upgrade FCPX if you're in the middle of a project. Try to finish them up first.
Good recommendation.
And if such an "upgraded project" is causing these troubles, an obvious thing to try is to create a brand new project and copy and paste the contents of the problematic project into it. At least, it won't hurt to try.

Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to churchillstudios
I found a workaround for the beachball problems (hopefully).
I had to purchase Event Manager X http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
EVX allows just the events/projects I'm working on to show-up in FCPX and it seems that doing that makes things run more smoothly. I mostly work on short less than 5 minute projects and the crashes were killing me. So far after editing three short videos things seem to be running smoothly. In fact I took my FCPX icon out of the dock and just leave EVX there when I want to start Final Cut.
I haven't fully tested EVX over the long term, only found out about it from a video forum online but it seems to work.

Hi Baron, thanks for the tip on event manager x.

Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to churchillstudios
I still think it has to do with the codec your working with.
I was in pain with beachball until i only had the h264 nikon d800 files in fcpx.
So for all the folks having beachball spins. Please include the codecs used at the time of beachball and also the names of all the codecs found in your events folders.
I am reimporting all my xdcam ex files to see if fcpx still works smooth after that. Will post back to tell more.

Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to Luis Sequeira1
If you have made an upgrade from 10.0.3 to 10.0.4 and still have that error (spinning ball on timeline) you should check your EVENT, click ctrl + a for all files and Use a transcode option again.
In my case it helped. It turns out that not all files correctly transcode.
rgomez May 8, 2012 11:37 AM
Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to tomhen77
In my case, I'm not even using any "codec", at least not in the video sense of the word. This project (the only I have right now to test) is a stop motion, so all are jpgs files. Still, not even the files are displayed in the "canvas" area of the screen, and the spinning ball never goes away.
I have another one where I do have some video, now that I remember, but if jpg files doesn't work, I don't see why any other thing should work. I don't know what, but they certainly did something from 10.0.2 -> afterwards that messed up with my MBP.

Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to Tom Wolsky
I've been following this thread for some time and there have been a number of fixes only to have the spinning beach ball return or some glitch surface to mess things up. So is "event manager" the fix all or is it a specific fix for some while not doing much for others.
I'm sorry to say this because it's stating the obvious, but with all the brain power at apple why do we continue to have these issues? Other than comments from very frustrated fcpx users no one has really offered a good reason why we have been so forgotten.
The biggest concern I have is an opinion mentioned a while ago that apple has much better income from other products and it's just a business move not to spend the needed time and money to bring fcpx up to specs...
I have too much money invested in hardware/software and a computer to start over again [new editing program], but as I get more work it is becoming clear that I need a stable system/program, yet no other system seems perfect when you read other editing forums...what to do in the long run???

Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to churchillstudios
Well, just installed the latest trial, 10.0.5, and I still have the same problem. I can't even see the jpg files in the "preview" pane (can't remember the name right now). Beachball.
I haven't even tried opening any project. This is just trying to see the files in one of the events. And I don't have so many events, just 4 or 5.
I can't believe this. I just can't believe this.
I haven't tried creating a new user, or using Even Manager X (I'm burning this 5 usd just to try this), but I seriously doubt anything will change. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I have lost my faith. And after the Mac Pro "updates" today, I think it is clear where Apple is sending the Pro users...
rgomez Jun 11, 2012 5:04 PM
Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to churchillstudios
Well, a little bit more info. I tried with Event Manager X and it didn't change anything. I still get the beachball.
I create a whole new user and now it does seem to work. So there must be something messed up in my user that is creating all this mess. Any idea of how to clean this up as if it was a whole new installation, without making it a whole new installation (or using a different user in my machine)
Of course I would like to be able to open and edit the projects I already finished there, but at least I would like to be able to do a new one I have to start *soon*, and maybe later see how to make the others work.
Any idea would be greatly appreaciated.
rgomez Jun 12, 2012 12:03 PM
Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to churchillstudios
No luck yet. I've AppZapped it, moved the events and projects library, and so on, trying to get a "fresh install" but there must be something missing.
I guess my only option is to use the second user to edit now, while somehow magically it gets fixed in my normal user account.

Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to rgomez
Is there any truth to the fact that FCP X runs almost flawlessly on a fully pimped out top of the line Imac with16mB 3.4 Quad 7core i7? From my experience it does. It will play back at least 4 multiclips without hiccup if you have a thunderbolt drive attached. On the other hand, a 2010 Mac Pro 3.33GHz six core, ATI 5870 video, 24GB RAM with 0 Raid can't do it although the Macpro may render faster. Beach balls have occured for me when there is something wrong with the audio. When I have seen this I have always converted to AIFF and the problem has gone away.
pocketdev Jun 24, 2012 8:00 AM
Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to rgomez
I bought FCPX a couple weeks ago after having previously used the trial version with good results. I did a bunch of editing with no problems-- it was really speedy, to the point where I don't even use proxy media, because it can do it all in realtime.
Then one day I was shooting and my camera overheated. It stopped recording in the middle of a long take and then resumed when it had cooled down (I didn't notice it at the time.) I had trouble importing these files. Since this date FCPX has been very sluggish. I deleted the problematic files but no luck.
As I write this I've got a beach ball. There is no real access to the drive iwth the media, and there is no real use of the CPUs going on right now. It isn't spending any time doing either, and it *should* be rendering a transition. In fact it is doing a rendering job that would have been a second or two only a week ago, but now is taking 15 minutes -- so far. And it is doing it super, super slow. Not using the CPU not hitting the drive, so it isn't held up from lack of resources.
Maybe it is because I added my iMovie events (using the "import Imovie Events" menu option.) OR maybe it is because I added a bunch of effects. Well, I deleted everythign from the Motion Templates folder but that didn't change anything.
I'm at a loss now.
It is almost like FCP X uses a system process to decode video and that process is wedged or hung, or consdtantly crashing as FCP X waits to get its frames back.
Certainly it isn't because it is taking too long to get data off the disk (it is not even trying) or because I lack CPU (all 4 cores are idle.)
So, this isn't the lack of proxy media. It is a bug.
The footage is all H.264, with no proxy media or optimized media.

Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to pocketdev
Try with importing a new event and have FCP import them and optimise them. Best results are with optimised files, better quality.
pocketdev Jun 24, 2012 8:16 AM
Re: Final Cut Pro X Spinning Beachball in response to pocketdev
I found the problem!
Solution: Delete the bogus folders in your Movies/Final Cut Events/ folder. (left: Color Presets, Effect Browser Thumbnails, Export Presets and Render Files)
Somehow in my root drive, in the Final Cut Events folder there were some bogus folders. For example "Camera Render Files" and "Peaks Data" were in there, as if "Final Cut Events" was the *event*. So it was seeing "Camera Render Files" as an "event" and trying to deal with the massive amount of subfolders there.
At least that's what I think happened. Anywy, getting rid of this junk fixed it.

Over approximately the last month my V1 Jet 9 RDO has been creaking while pedaling. Initially it started while climbing but then progressed to where it was happening whenever I was pedaling. If I stop pedaling, the creaking goes away.
Initially I thought it was the bottom bracket and had the local Niner dealer install a new PF30 BB. The dealer also identified that I was missing a pivot bolt for the rear suspension and got it replaced by Niner. During this process they noticed that some of the rear suspension bearing were shot, so they are also being replaced by Niner. In the interim they greased them up and I rode this weekend. It was also the first time riding with the new bottom bracket. The bike didn't creak for the first 17 miles, but then it started again. Again, it was only when pedaling and worse when I was using bigger cogs in the rear. Without pedaling the creaking didn't occur.
I should be getting the bearings replaced this week. Hopefully it solves the issues but I thinking that if it is the suspension bearings, shouldn't it be creaking without pedaling too?
Anyone else noticed this on a Jet 9 RDO?
