TAPERED SABRE SAW BLADE Filed May 26, 1961 j Tp--i T WEA/foes United States Patent ii ice 3,111,970 Patented Nov. 26, 1963 3,111,970` TAPERED SABRE SAW BLADE Dwight E. Priest, deceased, late of Southborough, Mass.,
by Emmy Lou Priest, executrix, Love Lane, Southborough, Mass., and- J h11 F. Ewig, Jr., Worcester, Mass.
Filed May 26, 1961, Ser. No. 113,037 4 Claims. (Cl. 143-433) This invention relates' to a tapered sabre saw blade, so-called because its front end is usually pointed and is unsupported. Such a blade is usually used in a jig saw machine in a vertically reciprocating sawing stroke, but in starting a hole particularly, the blade may be used at an inclined angle. The blade may be used in cutting hard materials, such as metals, but is primarily intended to be used in cutting softer material, such as wood, plywood, plastic and the like. The same saw blade construction, however, can be used in a blade supported at both ends, as in a hack saw blade, and our invention is not limited in that respect. But for purposes of illustration we show our invention embodied in a sabre saw blade.
In all saw blades, clearance or space between the cutting edges of the teeth must be provided to permit chip clearance. Chip clearance is necessary for the saw to cut. Otherwise the saw merely binds in the kerf or cut being made in the material. Various methods have been employed to provide this necessary chip clearance, such as setting or alternate bending of the teeth laterally, and providing various shapes for the saw teeth. But when tooth clearance is secured by laterally projecting the tooth points, these points quickly wear away and proper clearance is lost. Further such laterally projecting points do not give a clean cut along the side walls of the kerf, tendinc to tear the material being cut to give clearance, and often deect the saw from a straight line of cutting.
We have sought to overcome the defects and disadvantages of prior saw blades, and after experimenting with a great many shapes and forms of blades and teeth., we have designed a novel shape of sawtooth and blade, which provides great strength for the saw and teeth, proper chip clearance, and uniform cutting by all of the teeth on each of their sides and which permits the saw to be driven with less power, and with less wear and tear on the teeth.
We achieve our results by providing a saw blade formed from a blank having a thickened edge portion, on which flat cutting teeth are provided extending the width of the edge portion, and which taper slightly on their sides to a longitudinal ridge, or line more than half way down the teeth from the top to the bottom or gullet thereof and which then taper to substantially greater degree in a radial or concave taper extending to a point below the bottom or gullet of the teeth, at which point the taper is blended into the gradual taper of the rest of the saw blade. It will be understood that the remaining taper of the blade, as shown in FIG. 2, is unnecessary-and is desirable chiefly to prevent binding of the saw blade on the kerf and to permit the blade to cut in circles. The gradual tapering, from the top of the teeth, and then substantially greater radial or concave tapering of the blade below the midpoint of the teeth in the external contour give the blade great strength, and this shape of the blade and teeth provide superior chip clearance and superior cuttin g performance.
The advantages of our saw blade over the conventional set tooth type of saw blade are:
(l) The teeth are all even as far as width is concerned so every tooth does an equal amount of work. This' is never true in a set-tooth blade because it is impossible to set teeth accurately enough to have each tooth do the same amount of work.
(2) As a result of this uniformity in tooth width, greater strength and longer life in our teeth is obtained, because every tooth is carrying the same load.
(3) The teeth cut faster for every tooth is doing an equal amount of work.
(4) Also the slot cut or kerf is narrower as there is no need to put a set on the teeth-and the narrower the cut the easier it is to cut.
(5) With every tooth doing the same amount of work as all the other teeth, a smooth cut or kerf is obtained.
(6) The slight taper and then the substantially increased radial taper, blending into the remaining taper to the back of the blade in addition to providing great strength, permits' the gullet in the teeth to be placed low enough to provide adequate chip clearance.
Other features, advantages, objects and purposes of our invention will appear from a detailed description of the embodiment thereof, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. l is a side elevation of a saw blade shank illustrating our invention, inverted with respect to its usualV cutting position, and
FIG. 2 is a vertical section of the saw blade shank shown in FIG. 1, taken along the line 2-2 of FIG. l.
As shown in the drawings a saw blade shank 10 has thereon a plurality of cutting teeth 12 arranged in a row along one edge 14 of the said shank 10. Each of' the teeth 12 has a leading face 16 and a trailing face 18, regarding the forward direction of sawing to be that in which the saw blade shank 10 is pushed by force exerted on its handle (not shown) from the end 20 of the said shank 10, toward the point of the saw blade.
The shape of the teeth are more or less conventional depending on the hardness of the material to be cut, and the speed and power with which thecutting is to be done. The leading face 16 of each tooth 12 is inclined upwardly perierably not more than 45 from the horizontal (or the tangent at its tip of cutting edge 22 to its usual sawpath). This insures that the force of the tangential component of the resistance of the material being cut (not shown) is never greater than the perpendicular component thereof, with respect to the usual path of cutting, thus protecting the saw teeth 12 against being broken olf thereby. The more nearly horizontal the said leading face 16 is, the less the likelihood of a tooth 12 being broken off, other facts being constant; on the other hand, cutting efliciency may be correspondingly reduced. The trailing tooth face 18 is preferably inclined inwardly slightly beyond the perpendicular to the cutting path, as shown with reference to the perpendicular line 2-2 on FIG. l, and blends into the bottom portion of the leading edge 16 at the gullet 30.
As' stated above, the superior results achieved by our blade reside in the outside cross-sectional shape, or contour of our blade as shown in FIG. 2 of the drawing. The saw blade is formed from a blank having a thickened outer edge portion on which the saw teeth 12 are cut, as stated above. Each saw tooth 12 has a at top cutting edge 22. Each tooth 12 then tapers downwardly on its sides 40 and 42 to a point more than half way between the top 22 and the gullet 30 of the tooth. As an illustration the taper from the top outside cutting edge on a blade having a width of .50 inch ranges from approximately l to 5 degrees, and is provided to prevent binding of the teeth in the kerf being cut in the work material. The degree of taper from the perpendicular is indicated by the dot-dash lines on the sides of the blade in FIG. 2 (not numbered). At this point, denoted by the ridge 38 (FIG. 2), a second taper is formed in the sides of the blade in substantially greater degree and in a radial or concave taper extending to a point below the bottom or gullet 30 of the teeth 12. At this point the second or concave taper denoted by 44 and 46 blends into the gradual taper denoted by the tapering sides 36 of the saw blade. As an illustration of the degree of taper, in a saw blade having a blade width of .050 inch would be drawn on a radius of .100 inch. As shown the second concave or radial taper 44 and 46 is substantially greater than the first taper 40 and 42, to provide chip clearance. It will be noted in FIG. 2 that the second taper extends below the point 30 or gullet of the teeth 12. In this Way substantially greater strength is provided for the teeth 12, and this permits the gullet 30 in the teeth to be placed low enough to provide adequate chip clearance. It will be understood that the remaining taper of the blade denoted by the sides 36 may be omitted as nonessential. The remaining taper 36 is desirable chiefly to prevent binding of the saw blade in the kerf being cut and to permit the blade to cut in circles in the work material being operated on but it may be noted that the second and concave or radial side tapers 44 and 46, in blending into the taper 36 of the shank 10 provides side arch strength for the shank 10 and teeth 12.
It will be apparent that alternative embodiments and modifications of our invention disclosed herein may be made without departure from our invention as disclosed and claimed herein. Accordingly our disclosure is not to be construed as limited within the full scope of the appended claims.
We claim:
1. A saw blade formed from a blank having a thickened edge portion, edge cutting teeth formed in said thickened edge portion extending transversely thereof, each tooth having a straight top cutting edge extending the full width of said thickened edge, and tapering slightly downwardly on its sides to a point more than half way between the straight top cutting edge and the gullet of the tooth, and then tapering in substantially greater degree in a concave taper from the end of the first taper to a point below the gullet of the tooth.
2. A saw blade formed from a blank having a thickened edge portion, edge cutting teeth formed in said thickened edge portion extending transversely thereof, and being of uniform size and in longitudinal alignment with each other, each tooth having a straight top cutting edge extending the full width of said thickened edge, and tapering slightly downwardly on its sides to a point more than half way between the straight cutting edge and the gullet of the tooth, and then tapering in substantially greater degree in a concave taper from the end of the rst taper to a point below the gullet of the tooth.
3. A saw blade comprising an elongated shaft having a bottom cutting edge and a top edge and spaced side walls having a greater thickness at the bottom than at the top, means at one end for attachment of the shaft to a driving member for reciprocal movement of the shaft longitudi.- nally, longitudinally spaced cutting teeth formed on said bottom cutting edge and extending transversely thereo in uniform width and in longitudinal alignment with each other on said shaft, said teeth having a straight transverse cutting edge every point of which is equidistant from the plane of the top edge and having side walls having a rst taper slightly downwardly from the top cutting edge to a point more than half way between the straight cutting edges and the gullets of the teeth, and having a second and concave taper from the end of the first taper to a point below the gullets of the teeth.

Breakfast and banter for ex-service personnel
A breakfast club, set up to provide support and a friendly ear for former service people, is urging new members to join them.
The Geordie Breakfast Club was established in 2014 and regularly attracts several dozen people to its weekly get-togethers.
Its aim is to help people make the transition from military to civilian life, whether that has been a recent change, or one made decades ago.
The club meets at a restaurant on the outskirts of Newcastle, with members coming from across Northumberland, Teesside and from over the Scottish border.
As well as its social element, the club aims helps people facing work, domestic and health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Geordie Breakfast Club is part of a network of ninety similar organisations worldwide.
It helps get people back into the community and back into civilian life. It gives them a sense of wellbeing, makes them feel safe to come out into the community, and to sit with likeminded people and chat about military life

Military helps inspect flood defences across the region
Military personnel have been helping the Environment Agency in their efforts to reduce the risk of flooding in the North East. Soldiers, sailors and airmen were tasked with inspecting 2,453 flood risk sites across the region.
The inspection work came about after the flooding that hit many parts of the country earlier this year. They travelled around the North East's coastlines, rivers, culverts and reservoirs recording any defects and reporting them to the Environment Agency.
Matt Crump, from the Environment Agency, said: "This has helped us gain a clearer picture of the current condition of local flood defences, which were put under significant pressure during storms, high tides and record levels of rainfall this winter."
Full report: Military families this Christmas
For many, this Christmas will be a time of celebration with their families. However, hundreds of North East servicemen and women will be spending Christmas day away from home, in places like Afghanistan.
It means their children, partners and parents are here without them at what can be a very difficult time. We have met one family in Morpeth who share what it is like to be an army family at Christmas. Frances Read Reports.

Now he is able to control the movement in his bionic arm by focusing his mind on nerves connected to muscles in his chest. Richard Wilson reports.
15 North Yorkshire soldiers sentenced after Kenya protest
15 soldiers based at Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire have been jailed for staging a sit-in protest while on a training exercise in Kenya.
A court martial heard that the men took the action to demonstrate against being led by commanders they described as "muppets".
The men were serving with the 1st Battalion the Yorkshire Regiment and sat on the floor when ordered to stand to attention.
All the soldiers pleaded guilty to disobeying a lawful command and were given sentences of between 40 and 60 days.
South Shields soldier gets UK's first 'robotic' arm
Corporal Andrew Garthwaite from South Shields, who lost his arm while serving his country in Afghanistan, has become the first person in the UK to receive a mind-controlled prosthetic limb.
Corporal Garthwaite's revolutionary 'robotic' arm was fully funded by the Ministry of Defence. He made his final visit to the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court in Surrey today.
While at the Centre, Corporal Garthwaite was able to demonstrate how the new arm has changed his life, allowing him to perform basic tasks like opening doors, gardening and cooking.

Laser puts helicopter crew at risk
Police are hunting the person who shone a laser at an army helicopter, putting lives at risk.
It happened on October 9, when a helicopter from the Army Air Corp at Dishforth flew over Ripon.
Police say the person used a high powered laser and was at the Victoria Grove junction with All Hallow Gate.
"I cannot condemn this act of utter stupidity strongly enough. As well as causing the flight crew considerable difficulty and putting their lives at risk, the consequences had the helicopter crashed are unthinkable.
"I urge anyone who can help to identify those responsible for this reckless act to come forward and contact the police or Crimestoppers immediately."
It is a criminal offence to use a light that will dazzle or distract a pilot.
Anyone with information can contact Ripon police on 101, press option 2 and ask for Dave Furlong.

I recently had a report grouped by Employee with one page per employee. Each Employee showed up in the group tree on the left of the screen. But every time we clicked on an employee in the group tree, we ended up on the page of the employee just BEFORE the one we wanted. I thought it was a glitch to I changed the group options, then closed the report and eventually closed CR completely. The problem didn't go away so I realized it was something in the report.
After some experiments I realized what was going on. The report was printing one page per employee and printing only the group footer. But there was no actual "new page after" checked for the group footer. There was one employee per page only because the group footer was so large that only one group footer could fit on a page. So it mimicked a page break.
But the group tree doesn't take you to the group footer of the group, it takes you to the Group Header. And in this report the Group Header for each employee was suppressed. So as soon as each Group Footer finished on a page, the next Group Header would start right below it. And because it was suppressed, it would always fit on the prior page.
So the Group Tree took us to this (invisible) Group Header which was always on the page before the corresponding group footer. All we had to do to solve the problem was check "new page after" for the Group Footer and that moved the (invisible) Group Header to the next page, right above the corresponding Group Footer. And then the Group Tree worked as expected.
Are you having trouble with your parameter windows in Crystal Reports? Did your calendar control stop working? Are the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons not responding?
I just got a note from Adam Butt of APB Reports in Trondheim, Norway. Apparently he was experiencing these problems and worked for hours to try and solve it. He went as far as uninstalling and reinstalling his entire CR product suite, including several versions. Only when that didn't work did he realize that he had recently changed his Internet Explorer Security setting to "High". Changing it back to "Medium High" resolved the problem. I will have to do some testing to see which of the underlying IE security settings breaks CR parameters. But I am posting this now for others who might run into this problem, or a similar problem, with parameters.
One of my customers sent me a question about an error message they got when they went to open a report. I recognized it as an error I had seen recently on a customer's workstation. Then today I closed and reopened Crystal and got the same error message. For those of you who open reports by double clicking the RPT file it might seem that there is a problem with report, but this is a problem you will see anytime the CR designer starts.
I have written before about how the Crystal Reports start page will request internet access and try to load dynamic content (ie ads). I showed users how to prevent the start page from requesting internet access by renaming a few files. What we are seeing today is that there is apparently a problem with some java script in the way that dynamic content is loaded. Once SAP fixes the problem the error should go away. In the meantime if you just stop the script the reports should load and run fine. If you don't want the start page to load web content you can use the method in the post mentioned above.
All reports pull their data from tables of some kind, and these tables do change over time. Fields are added or removed and sometimes field names or their data types are changed. Crystal has the "Verify Database" feature to update the report so that the table structure stored with the report matches what is in the database. If a field used by the report is removed, renamed or has been changed to a different data type, you will have to map the old field to the new field in a small mapping window.
But I found an interesting exception. One of my customers had a character field that was changed from a long string to a memo field. Apparently the Verify Database 'mapping' feature can't see memo fields, even when they have the exact same name as the original string field. So when I went to Continue Reading »
Field disappears during Verify Database
Today I was dealing with this error message. It was generated by a report that uses a SQL command with a parameter. The parameter was a numeric and when we replaced the parameter with a specific number, the error went away. Putting the parameter in the same spot generated the error. So as part of troubleshooting I started taking out pieces of SQL until there was very little left of the query, and the error remained. So we were surprised to find that moving the same SQL to a new report worked fine, even with the parameter. The customer was ready to recreate the report from scratch.
Then she made a comment that she had once deleted and recreated a parameter to fix a similar problem. Unfortunately that hadn't worked for her today. But this rang a bell, so I asked her if she had used the same parameter name when recreating the parameter. She had, so I deleted the parameter and created a new parameter with a different name. I used the new parameter in place of the old one and the SQL ran correctly with no error message. It appears that this parameter name, which she had used successfully in several other reports, had somehow gone flaky inside this report. She tried to rename the working parameter back to its original name and the same error popped up. So the problem wasn't with the SQL Syntax or with the value but something specific to that parameter name in that one report.
So if you run into a similar problem with a SQL Command parameter and nothing else seems to fix it, here is one more thing you can try.
I cleared up a mystery today, one that I thought was just a Crystal glitch. It explains why Crystal formulas sometimes fail without an error message to describe the problem. We are not talking about invalid formulas. An invalid formula generates an error when you save it. We are talking about a formula that fails only when the report is run and it finds data that it can't process. For example, a formula that divides one field by another is valid, but will fail if the denominator field has a value of zero. A formula that converts characters from a string field into a date will also fail if the characters don't make up a valid date. Both of these failures would normally pop up an error message. So what does it mean when it doesn't?
Take an example where formula A is used inside formula B, and then formula B is in turn used inside formula C. If formula A fails then Continue Reading »
Formula failures without error messages
A customer sent me a report today with an unusual behavior. There was a total on the report and the problem was that the total would change when she unsuppressed a details section and change back when she re-suppressed the details. Even adding a blank details section made the total change.
At first I figured she had to be mistaken. I could think of no way that suppressing a section or splitting a section could have an effect on totals. But as I thought about it I realized there was one one obscure way. Both of the changes she mentioned could change the number of pages. And there is one way that adding pages can affect totals.
There is a property in the Continue Reading »
Add a blank section, and the totals change?
I noticed something odd the other day when sorting/grouping a character column. The column was date values stored as strings in the format Year-Month-Day. When I looked at the data I noticed that some values had dashes and some did not, like this:
What surprised me was that they were still sorting in chronological order, as if the dashes didn't exist. I had never seen that before. Since I like my sorts to be consistent and predictable I did some quick testing to help me understand what was happening.
I discovered that if you sort or group on a database field – and even on some simpler formulas – the database driver will add an "ORDER BY" to the SQL query. This means the database Continue Reading »
Dashes and strange sorting
I was working with a customer today, troubleshooting a report reading MAS 90. The report had a subreport at the detail level and he said that the full report could take up to 24 hours to run. I tested the subreport and found that the selection formula was not being converted into a WHERE clause in the SQL of the subreport. So every instance of the subreport (thousands) had to do a serial read of the entire table. The subreport seemed pretty simple so my first approach was to recreate it and test it as a stand alone report. It took only a few seconds to run and I could see the WHERE clause in the SQL. But as soon as I inserted the new version to replace the existing subreport the SQL would no longer generate a WHERE clause.
So then I studied the relationship between the main and the subreport. I found it was possible to Continue Reading »
Subreports in a Sage/Mas environment
When my customers send me report problems they sometimes feel the need to send me a photo album. I will get a screen shot of the linking window, a screen shot of the preview tab, a screen shot of some key formulas, etc. It is much more efficient to send me the RPT file. With the RPT I can open the linking window myself, open any formulas, and open anything else that might help me troubleshoot the report. An RPT can replace most of the screenshots I get and gives me much more information. If the RPT can't be saved with data I may Continue Reading »

The best part about this place is the price. We paid $60 for our room + $3 for internet. They gave us a AAA discount. Newport is an expensive area, and this was the only bargain shop in town. The sheets are paper thin and the whole place is a little bit funky, but it got the job done. We stayed one night before touring the Newport mansions. Would I want to stay here for several nights? No, not really. However, for a quick stopover it was worth it.

Unique destination for your MICE events
Budapest: a first-class meetings and incentives tourism city in the heart of Europe
BUDAPEST CITY (eTN) - With direct connections to most of the metropolitan areas in Europe, and with good connections to Middle East and North America through the new terminal at Budapest Airport, Budapest city welcomes delegates from all over the world to hold their meetings, events, and conventions.
I was invited from a Hungarian convention to participate in a study tour in Budapest city.
Our program started with a visit to the oldest part of the city, the Castle district, which is also known as the Royal Castel, a World Heritage site. The Baroque Hall, the Gothic room, and other parts of the Royal Palace are offered for delegates to enjoy the wonderful Panorama of the Danube River and the other parts of the city. The Royal Castel is a unique place for those who are interested in holding their meetings and gala events inside a World Heritage district.
The Segway, a unique form of transportation, was offered to us to discover the Castel district. Everyone took his Segway (after we got a lesson how to ride) and rode through the area for 15 minutes, reaching the Budapest Hilton Hotel, one of the worldwide hotels that is located inside a World Heritage site. Rooms at the Hilton face the Danube River, and the ballroom can be offered for 660-seated events, where some medical and pharmacy conferences have taken place. The President of China, Astonia, and Roger Moore, are among the VIP visitors that have been at the hotel, explained Ms. Dorottya Kovacs, the Sales Manager of the Budapest Hilton.
Other venue alternatives available inside the Castel district include the Fisherman's Baston Restaurant, which offers a luxury atmosphere for delegates, along with delicious Hungarian food and wine. The Strudel House (Restaurant), famous for its thin strudel and Hungarian food was offered to us for dinner attended by Ms. Aniko Ferenczy, Director of the Hungarian Convention Bureau.
Late night incentives in Budapest are also really great. The Ruin Pubs offers visitors a unique place to have a cocktail and to spend few hours listening to music and dancing.
The biggest treasure in Hungary is the healing waters - over 100 thermal baths are spread throughout Hungary, with one of the best and nearest being the Szechenyi thermal bath with its three pools, which offers different water temperatures, massage, and other facilities.
Another World Heritage place for meetings and eventss is the VAM design. This three story has both open and covered spaces, along with a highly-experienced team. Delegates will enjoy the place.
The historical parliament building can be a place for gala events. Our visit to the building was very special, and we received a complete idea about its history, as well as its meetings facilities.
Restaurants are available anywhere you go in Budapest, even in boats, where you can have your lunch, dinner, or even hold a gala events inside the boats on the Danube River.
For those who love chocolate and sweets, the famous Gerbeaud Confectionary can also be a place to hold your meetings. Here you can have your meeting and, at the same time, enjoy the tasty cakes and chocolates.
One of the five-star hotels in Budapest is the InterContinental Budapest, which offers 402 beautiful guestrooms, including 18 river-view suites and 184 superior rooms with the Danube River, Royal Castel, and Chain Bridge views. Twelve meetings rooms serve 10 to 850 delegates, together with an 8,000-square-foot ballroom that creates an ideal setting for weddings and special celebrations. A 482-square-foot spa and swimming pool are there for delegates, together with a truly Hungarian cuisine. Ms. Virag Nobik, the Revenue Manager, welcomed us when we visited.
The Palace of Arts is a modern concert hall of Budapest, and a Fipresci award-winning building. It is a popular event location that offers places and halls for meetings.
Ms. Ildiko Dudas, the Marketing Manager of Kempinski Hotel Corvinus, showed us her hotel located in the heart of the shopping area in Budapest. Over 300 rooms, 31 suites, Presidential suites, Kempinski spa with different wellness programs, a grand ballroom, and over 10 meetings rooms are available for meetings and event venues. Food and Hungarian cuisine is offered from 8 different restaurants for you to choose from the cuisine you like.
Another unique, unusual, and industrial place for your meetings and event venues is the Hungarian Railway Station, reaching there by a steam-hauled train. Here, you can hold your event with delicious Hungarian food and a culture program.
There are many more very unique places for your meetings and events, such as the Baroque Royal Castel of "Sissi" in Godollo, 30 minutes from Budapest. This Royal Castel offers plenty of rooms, halls, and theaters in royal surroundings.
But the place that attracted me the most was the Lazar Equestrian Park, where you can have your meetings and gala events, at the same time you can offer your delegates a wonderful horse show, a horse-driving competition together with several exciting programs, and a park area for hunting.
Budapest city, with its many tourism incentives and meeting places and facilities is really making Budapest one of the most perfect cities in the world for the MICE industry. With such a wide variety of conferences and congress sights, along with festivals, food, wine, and 16 five-star and 61 four-star hotels, Budapest city is ready to offer delegates excellent service from a highly-experienced professional congress and incentive organizers.

I've been a leader for an artist's support group as well as an organizer and member of other writer's groups. I believe in being a sensitive and supportive reader, wanting the story to be the winner. I am currently a grad student in Creative Writing at UBC, taking the summer off and wanting to create a core of dedicated writer/readers here in Victoria.
New requirements for this group:
— please be on time;
— you must be currently writing short fiction and have at least one piece to share that you want feedback on;
— you must bring 8-10 copies of a short story, maximum of 10 pages, one page minimum, for us to read and critique, or, preferably, post here under files and then notify the group that it's here;
— format is 12 point, Times Roman, double-spaced — this evens up the playing field in terms of length, also readability and gives the reader space between lines for comments, corrections, etc.;
— when you come, you can choose to give us your email address and ask us to send our comments to you via email if you don't feel ready for a group critique;
— we will discuss feedback/critique styles. You will be able to ask for what you specifically want feed back on, i.e. a particular character, plot, continuity, dialogue, development, etc. — whatever you are having problems with;
-- If your story is longer than 10 pages, post the section you'd like to be critiqued and bring copies of the rest. Depending on the numbers of writers that show up, and how much time we each have, we may be able to look at more of your story.
— "The only way to begin is to begin, and begin right now. If you like, begin the minute you finish reading this paragraph. For sure, begin before you finish reading this book. I have no doubt the day is coming when you will be wiser or better informed or more highly skilled than you are now, but you will never be more ready to begin writing than you are right this minute. The time has come. You already know, more or less, what a good story looks like. You've already got in mind some human situation that matters to you. You need nothing more. Begin with whatever gives you the impetus to begin: an image, a fantasy, a situation, a memory, a motion, a situation, a set of people—anything at all that arouses your imagination. The job is only to get some or all of this into words able to reach and touch an unknown, unseen somebody "out there" known as the Reader. You must plunge into it. And you must do it now." Stephen Koch
Always interesting! Thanks for the exercises Angela, it made for a fun and challenging evening.
1 · July 24, 2014
Hi everyone! I might bring a short one for some feedback. I look forward to doing the exercises to mix it up a little. This could turn out to be a really interesting meeting...see you later. : )
1 · July 23, 2014
Hello! We don't have any submissions so please bring question regarding your short fiction and as a group we will brainstorm and I will offer some suggestions, when I can, if you want them. Also, we will start the meeting with 4 or 5 exercises that I've picked up this week at the Denman Islad Readers & Writers' Workshop. The will loosen you up and get you writing.
0 · July 19, 2014
I'm sorry but I won't be able to make this one.
0 · July 16, 2014
Please limit your involvement when your work is being workshopped to questions only. As is the tradition in workshop, you should not explain (for example, please don't tell us why you wrote the story, or why you used a certain word) and you should not correct your readers during the discussion of your work (for example, please don't tell us that the poem is not about death, it is about rebirth). Here is why you should not explain or correct: by allowing others their comments without interfering, you learn what impressions your work is making on your readers, what resonances it has created, what ideas it has provoked. If you jump in to explain or correct, you will lose that chance to learn. However, you should feel free to ask questions to the people who are taking part in your workshop, at any time.

Emily Blunt
John Krasinski in J Brand Kane Straight Leg Jeans and Emily Blunt in Citizens of Humanity
John Krasinski was spotted out with pregnant wife Emily Blunt in Los Angeles, California. For the day out, the actor wore his favorite J Brand Kane Straight-Leg in Washed Melange with a baseball tee and his signature slip on Vans. While Emily wore a pair of the Citizens of Humanity Maternity Avedon Jeans in Star.
The fabrication of these jeans makes any outfit look put together, like John's look here. What would normally be a simple casual combination has been elevated because the denim has a smart look to it that reads like a pair of suited trousers. How many of you have these and love the appearance? You can click here to purchase these jeans from the J Brand website.
Emily Blunt in Citizens of Humanity Skinny Jeans
Emily Blunt was seen while out with her daughter, Hazel, after taking her to get her hair cut. Emily's daughter is so cute, I can't wait to see if her next baby is a boy or a girl.
While out, Emily wore a pair of Citizens of Humanity Skinny jeans with a striped top and leopard print flats. I like that Emily cuffed these slightly, it makes them look a little more casual and relaxed. You can buy Citizens of Humanity online from Shopbop.com.
Emily Blunt in AG The Farrah Skinny Jeans in 12 Years Rip
Snapped while leaving her hotel in New York City, Emily Blunt signed a few photos for waiting fans. Emily is in New York to promote her new film Sicario.
Emily wore her AG The Farrah Skinny Jeans in 12 Years Rip again, this time pairing them with a knit blouse and green booties. We've seen Emily in these jeans quite a few times, but I really like how she styled them here. I think the green booties add a nice, unexpected touch of color. You can buy AG online from Shopbop.com.

Emily Blunt in AG The Farrah Skinny Jeans in 12 Years Rip
Emily Blunt flashed a smile to the paparazzi after arriving at the San Sebastian film festival. Emily wore her AG The Farrah skinny jeans in 12 Years rip with a stripe tee shirt and Isabel Marant sneakers.
We used to see Emily out in AG jeans quite frequently, particularly this pair. It seems she's been mixing up her brands a bit lately with MOTHER and J Brand, but it is nice to see her come back to an older pair. You can buy AG jeans online from Shopbop.com.

Arrived in perfect condition with all features working smoothly.
It is fast, responsive, light and paper thin.
Pre-installed apps are very useful and my favorite thing - nice folder widgets, preloaded and set on your desktop. No more cluttered screen, everything is neat and organized. Sure you can get apps to do that and download widgets separately, but it is time consuming and not always works the way you want. Top notch customization job there.
Performance is excellent for the price. It actually looks worse on paper than it actually is. After doing extensive benchmarks, it actually nearly matches Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and surpassing it in some aspects. Not "AS" good, but nearly there, and considering the price - it's impressive.
I have made comparisons with other tablets i've owned, my previous 10.1 tab which was far superior in specs (1.5Ghz Quad Core, 2GB DDRIII 1333 RAM, Mali 420Mhz QuadCore GPU) performed WORSE than this one. After doing some research and testing, and getting opinions from other tech-geeks i found out why. Because power is very efficiently balanced between the hardware. It is a thing where many tablets go wrong (budget tablets that is). And it is true, a proper and efficient power supply can boost your PC's performance, same applies here. Many don't realize that. It is not all about the hardware, if there's not a appropriate power distribution behind it, it literally performs poorly.

Enter the Lenovo IdeaTab S6000. It does all of the above, but is just so much better on a 10 inch screen. I find that the larger screen makes interaction with the device so much more fluid as it is very rare that you mis-touch an icon, app, link etc in comparison to the 7 inch screen. Also, battery is excellent which is important when travelling. Based on early experience, Lenovos' claims of 9 hours use off a full charge seem pretty accurate.
Ok, so the drawbacks (all minor for me). Processor speed and screen resolution are not up to some of the S6000s' more fashionable (and expensive) competitors. This is evident when rotating from landscape to portrait which is relatively slow and a little jumpy. However, other than this I've not noticed any other performance issues impeding my requirements of a tablet.
Another minor drawback is Lenovo's customisations to Android 4.2 which mean that it is only possible to have 2 screens to the left and 2 screens to the right of the home screen (making 5 screens in all). I believe it's impossible to add additional screens, unlike the Tab 2 and most other Android devices. However, at 56 apps per screen on the S6000, this should really not be an issue for anyone. Only other drawback is the lack of detailed documentation, either supplied or online.Read more ›
It doesn't have a fancy apple retina display "just" a superbly crisp high contrast with rich black background IPS display.
Set brightness on 25%, install and run Kindle and set Kindle brightness to minimum and you have an eBook reader that's comfortable to read on for hours.
I've had retina display iPads in my hands before and can't really se a difference in quality with this.
The Lenovo is slick and fast transitioning between landscape and portrait modes very smoothly. Touch screen is responsive and the case design good for the price.
You have to be really picky to consider the case sub standard compared to more expensive iPad etc.
The whole family loved the Lenovo straight away. One of my all time favorite computing devices and I've encountered thousands in my 23 years as an IT consultant.
You don't have to be a technical expert to use these things I hasten to add.
That is part of the appeal of tablet computers in general, simpler and easier to understand than a conventional computer.
Simply brilliant.
You can spend two, three or more times this amount on a tablet computer but you don't need to.

December 18 2013
Weather warning transmitter temporarily changed
The old KELOland TV tower located on the Medicine Butte north of Reliance came down last Wednesday morning, December 11th. A tower company cut the guide wires and the tower fell to the north and hit the ground without incident. A video of the tower being dismantled can be viewed at the Herald's website, www.lcherald.com A new tower was built to the west and south of the Butte and television transmitters moved several weeks ago. When the tower came down, it also took the Reliance National Weather Reporting equipment down also. According to David Hintz, Warning Coordination Meteorologist of the National Weather Service office in Aberdeen, plans are to hire tower climbers to hang the weather antenna on the South Dakota Public Broadcasting tower which is still located near Medicine Butte. "We are unsure how long that process will take, so it could be a bit before KZZ60 (Reliance NWR) comes back up," stated Hintz. The Pierre transmitter at WXM26, 162.400 MHz has been programed to broadcast any watch/warning/advisories for the counties of Lyman, Buffalo, Brule and Tripp during the transition. "People these counties should tune their weather radios to the Pierre transmitter at WXM26, 162.400 MHz to receive up to the date weather warnings," added Hintz.

|Reviews for Blood Bonds
| Vampyre Moon chapter 17 . 7/12/2009
oh, wow.
i cannot begin to tell you how much i love this story. i mean, who rereads fanfiction? i've read this story probably four times now and still enjoy it just as much. i've been dying to ask you doesn't allow me to review more than once per chapter so i'm getting really frustrated trying to ask this]: is the difference between go'uld and tok'ra that the host cries in pain when the go'uld is hurt and the symbiote when it is the tok'ra? or is it really just a buffy thing? that's the only explination i can make sense of, the tok'ra protecting the host and the go'uld saving itself pain.
did i over-think that or what? [o:
| Ellyanah chapter 17 . 3/9/2009
What a great fic.
I horribly disapointed that there is no more.
This last chapter was so good, muh. sniff

| Barranca chapter 17 . 8/17/2008
I've really enjoyed reading this story - it has just enough humor and surprises to balance the gore and angst. Too bad it is not finished, but luckily you've given enough hints of where you are heading to give food to your reader's imagination.

It really is a shame that you haven't continued this.
| DreamOfStories chapter 17 . 3/9/2008
I follow this on TTH as DreamOfStories and I recently found this here too! It's kinda neat, and it's going on my alert list...
but I was wodnering if maybe you could update some time? Please?
See I'm being nice, and not threatneing to hunt you down and force you to update at gunpoint or anything sinister like that. I'm also not complaining about how you left hints about how Faith is going to meet Teal'c or Jacob. Being less in 'control' of her instincts... there are bound to be fireworks.
That was a hint by the way in case your stuck on what to do next...
Please update soon - even if its just a chapter that's a measly 750 words long... or 10... or possibly 20 words?

*squeal, hug*
I absolutely *adore* your story. I've read more than a few SG-1/Buffy crossovers, and I have to say that this has been a positive joy. It's so *different* from what most of them are like. In addition, I just want to squeal in glee (again!) every time I read about how the Jaffa are reacting to Buffy. Or anytime we get more scenes about Buffy's little coup group (growing not so little with every chapter!) _ Hits all my buttons. So thumbs up for this very, very original piece. And know there is one more person eagerly waiting to read the rest of the story.
And now I'm off to see what other stories you have written.

Most would agree that champion spearfishers Julian Hansford and Dwane Herbert are more fish than man.
Stalking their prey 35m below the ocean's surface, lungs lacking fresh oxygen for four-minute intervals, outsmarting a creature that was born in the water.
No, this is not normal behaviour for land lubbers.
But for Julian, 27, and Dwane, 25, it's second nature.
The Whitianga pair have won the Junior New Zealand Spearfishing Championships five times running, and this year have decided to set their sights higher and take on the World Championships in Peru in November.
Julian offers an explanation for the aquatic tendencies.
"We both grew up pretty much in the ocean. Actually I wasn't even born, Dad said he just found me washed up on the beach."
The two met as youngsters at Club Spearfishing in Whitianga, which Dwane's father Herb, a commercial diver, and a few local men hosted to help promote the sport to kids.
"He was a runt and got put in our rugby team," Dwane says of his dive partner.
They used to work weekends freediving for Herb, always competing to catch kina the fastest and dive the deepest.
After the boat was full they would venture off to spear some fish to bring home, but time was always limited so they learned to seek and kill very quickly - a skill that would give them an edge in future competitions.
Clad in camouflage wetsuits to blend in with the terrain, the underwater hunters have the element of surprise on their side, with no scuba tank bubbles to betray their position to unsuspecting quarry.
But Julian says the spearing fish is not the hard part.
"It's finding them.
"Reading tides, following terrain, reading the way the smaller bait fish are acting to pinpoint where the bigger predators that we target will be."
He credits their years of experience in the water as one of the reasons for their success these days.
And it hasn't always been a smooth operation.
When the pair started competing together they were constantly arguing over where to go next, Julian says.
He recalls yelling matches where they would both be swimming in opposite directions pulling at either end of the rope tied to their guns.
"Angry little boys," he says.
They worked their way through the open events, constantly improving and usually placing high in the competitions.
Then Julian left school to take off on a different tangent which involved surfing, drinking and getting into trouble, while Dwane went on to win the Junior New Zealand champs four times in a row.
When Julian turned 21 and Dwane 19 they both moved back home to Flaxmill Bay, a small settlement just south of Whitianga in Mercury Bay.
Older and more mature, the best mates dived for work, pleasure and in competitions, playing rugby and drinking too, but always staying fit.
Their method now refined with maturity and experience, the pair dive with a synergy that could only exist between two great mates.
"We know each other in the water so well now we hardly talk, we just point and use body language," Julian says.
"Most of all we're not arguing. When a quick decision needs to be made we have confidence in each other, that's why we win."
They won the National Spearfishing Championships together four times in a row, as well as competing in Tahiti and Australia, placing second both times.
Although they are reluctant to list them for fear of sounding "blow-arse", the pair have had their share of hair- raising moments.
"We've been stuck in caves, almost run over by boats, dived with whales, orcas, great whites, tiger sharks and big scary seals," Julian says.
"Dwane got attacked by a seven-gill shark down south and I had shallow water black out."
Last year they had a year off from diving and lost the national title.
Dwane moved to Queenstown and now dives for kina and paua for a few companies around Stewart Island and Fiordland.
Meanwhile, Julian moved into construction diving.
This year, however, they have their sights set on the big kahuna.
"We've decided to go hard while we're still young and go all out, moving on to World Champs to see how far we can go."
They're off to a promising start, having won both the national and North Island champs this year and even had a big diving name sponsor approach them.
Dwane's dad Herb plans to accompany the boys to Peru.
Dwane says they aren't fazed by the prospect of competing in a foreign environment.
"The Europeans and South Americans do comps different, but we can adjust."
Julian is currently working off the south coast of Australia, diving for abalone without a shark net.
Peru should be a breeze.
How a spearfishing competition works:
A spearfishing competition is run over two days. Competitors dive in pairs for safety and the area is chosen on the day depending on the weather.
The areas are usually huge, so days are tiring.
Three boats make a starting triangle and when the starting gun sounds they have six hours to be back in or be disqualified.
Competitors have a list of target fish of which they are allowed two each at 100 points per fish and 10 points per kilo.
On the second day the two days' scores are added together and the competitor with the most combined points wins.
All fish are within local size limits and the edible are auctioned off with proceeds going towards a local charity or Lions club.

Police confirmed Rick F. Nelson died just hours after being taken to Harborview Medical Center with a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Thursday afternoon.
Nelson, 50, of Issaquah was arrested early Thursday morning, booked into jail, then released on his own cognizance.
Approximately six hours after he was released, Nelson was found shot on the John Wayne Trail near Rattlesnake Lake. He was taken to Harborview Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
Seattle Police Chief John Diaz said the department launched a criminal investigation last summer after fellow officers raised concerns about Nelson showing an "inordinate interest" in drug evidence that were brought in.
"It was a hunch," said Diaz, adding such investigations, which are referred to as "integrity tests" within the department, are routine when concerns are raised.
As a part of the investigation, officials carried out an undercover sting on Wednesday night when an officer from an outside agency handed Nelson a bag filled with cocaine. Department officials were surveilling Nelson to see whether he would follow proper protocol for handling drug evidence.
"Unfortunately, he did not do that," said Assistant Police Chief Nick Metz. When officers arrested Nelson several hours later, they found some of the drugs on his person.
Metz, calling the event "a tremendous tragedy," said Nelson had been a "friend to many" in the department.
"It's been a heartbreaking 24 hours, to say the least," he said.
An officer who previously worked as Nelson's patrol partner said the news came as a surprise.
"(For) those of us who knew him and even those of who didn't, it's just a shock, a tragic ending that nobody would have expected," said officer Brian Guenther. "Just a very somber and sober day."
Guenther, who said he'd known Nelson for 20 years, said he did not know whether Nelson struggled with a drug problem.
"All I know is he was well-liked by everybody at the precinct, and just a good-hearted person," he said.
Nelson, a 21-year veteran of the force, worked out of the South Precinct for his entire career. He is survived by his wife and two teenage children.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Corpus Christi police know they're out there — a growing number of sex offenders living in the city — and the department is gearing up for an expected increase in work that comes with the higher numbers.
In April 2007, the city was home to 683 registered sex offenders, according to police data. By the beginning of this month, that number increased nearly 28 percent to 872 sex offenders.
Police Cmdr. David Torres says factors responsible for the increase include greater victim awareness, a general increase in the city's population and stepped-up enforcement by police, probation and parole officials.
