Sheet Metal Bending Brake Machines
Baileigh's mass metal brake line is regarded as a business ensign in HVAC and metal fabrication shops throughout North America and parts of Europe. Each slip metal brake has been articulately planned and constructed to bargain survey and profit to the fabricator for a reasonable investment that will suggest your organization decades of use. Please read on for promote niceties or click above on the grouping you hope to explore.
Baileigh offers one of the most extensive ranks of pane metal brakes on the promote today. We have metal bending brakes from 24 inches up to 13 feet in part. Capacities vary from 22 gauge down to 10 gauge mild steel. We proffer emblem guide side or programmable hydraulic manner metal bending gear. Our apparatus could be kaput down into two classifications, frank brakes or box and pan brakes.
Our equipment was all are constructed with the best condition steel on the souk and planned for days of rite. Where beloved we use hooligan levy bind rods on the lifting apron and superior beam. Depending on the usage we use springs, offset weights or hydraulics to help steal the apron. Our layer metal braked machines have lubrication points where wanted and have hardened fingers and shallow areas where needed. Sturdy ground frames are streamers.
The guidebook opened and everyday box and pan slip metal benders secure the textile with the top beam with the feel or die. Then the oppose weighted help helps the machinist elevate the foot apron to extensive the bend. Stop rods help with repeating the same angles and gap adjustments help when altering resources and thicknesses.
Besides manual leaf brakes in truthful or box and pan tailor, we also suggest a European grace foot secure box and pan brake. This sort of mechanism is matchless because it uses a foot pedal to clamp the fingers down on the section of expanse metal. Bending is helped with a pounce torsion system.
Finally we propose a hydraulic metal brake chain that is a leaf type apparatus but has a hydraulic apron. We propose these grace machines in 10, 12 & 14 gauges. These models can run in a manual or natural mode. The leaf stance is programmable for repeatable bends every time. Our hydraulic mass metal braked line comes in widths from 4 to 10 feet extensive and offer the complete result to the fabricator who requires more production in heavier gauges.
Building a Sheet Metal Bending Brake
After ruling campaign for a home built bending brake on vansairforce.org here, I wanted to give it a try. I picked up the steel from a ditch metal place for $37 ($0.25/lbs). The oxidized outlook ironed was laying around in the dirt and was somewhat a bit stronger than in the strategy. Fortunately, because I suppose something excluding powerful wouldn't have been stiff enough (my bending brake is a bit longer than the one in the campaign).
It took a while to subtract the tarnish with a sandpaper blaster and an incline chopper. What a bore.
In deviation to the campaign I added another end plate to the apron to simplify the built of the hinges (see pictures). At first I planned to screw this mega plate to the first plate (which is welded against the apron). Nevertheless I didn't have the right tap so I welded it all together. That was a slip, because the hinges weren't positioned optimally (see below).
It was surprisingly simple to identity the bending border with the angle chopper. The radius is 0.25" and I wrap an aluminum sheets around the frame to augment the desired bending radius, if needed.
I ruined up having to exact a few gear on my brake before it shaped acceptable outcome. The main setback with my bending brake was the alignment and thinking of the hinges in virtual the axis of the bending advantage.
* It is not painless to posture the hinges. When you joint the end plates make assured the apron stays analogous to the permanent beam even when rotated up. Measure the width of the gap with a drill bit. Does the width of the gap stays endless during the complete rotation?
* Use a long rod as revolve axis and switch it through both hinges. The rod ensures the hinges are in one line and helps posture them relative to the bending sharpness. See the first picture.
* My bending brake would not rotate far enough. The coil back requires you to rotate it way afar 90°. My hinges blocked promote rotation and I had to eliminate cloth, which wasn't cool on the assembled brake.
* Don't position the rotate line too high above the bending axis. The advanced it is the more, the apron will move away from the bending axis and the less force it will put on the pane metal. The turn axis on my bending brake was too high. I didn't want to re-repair the hinges and mounted a 0.04" aluminum plate on the horizontal surfaces. That worked well.
* Move the apron as close to the preset beam as workable. There certainly doesn't hardship to be a gap when the brake is "open." Since the gap will amplify when you rotate the apron you may end with a too large gap while dying the brake.
* Use a very pungent supervise. Mine is a 0.1" duct and is already awfully bent and even cracked. The military to bend a 50" 0.063" 2024-T3 are incredible high!
* The ribs of beam No. 2 (the preset beam) in the strategy don't allocate enough space to bend a 2x2 C Avenue. I had to beautiful much grate them away (see picture).
* Test your brake with C channels. Measure the width of your drain at the trimmings and then in the median. Does it halt recurrent? Chances are that the widths in the interior is greater than at the tops. At first my brake produced unacceptable differences for that width. It bowed out that the revolve line was too high. After falling the distance between the bending axis and the pivot axis the width of C channels was only little wider in the average. The apron is now forming the layer metal earlier around the bending skirt because of the condensed gap between the two beams of the bending brake.
* Verify that the beams you bought are pure. Mine was not.
* Bend beam No. 2 (the greater flat beam) so that it has a bow that points downhill. With this you can relate make on the layer metal in the heart of the bending brake by strap the screws at the ends of the brake. A 12 ton container jack plant very well to bend the beams. I found two equal beams under our house. Before I found out about these, I considered going to an unused rail way and use the like tracks. You will require two permanent similar beams that are very a bit stronger than the beams of your bending brake.
* Consider goodbye the brake unpolished and mount an aluminum plate against the surfaces that are in phone with the mass metal that you bend.
* I think the maximal strip of such a bending brake is pretty much what I have built: 50." The tactics summit this out too, but only after edifice it I also believe it.
Good windfall building your brake!

However, the majority of the transcript of the December 25, 1993, interview. the prosecutor's testimony dealt with her opinion regarding the manner in which the county conducted the overall rape investigation, including whether Lotter The prosecutor was not asked for and Nissen should have been arrested sooner. her opinion and did not render an opinion as to whether Laux's conduct during the December 25 interview was extreme and outrageous.

"Q How would you characterize the interview by Sheriff Laux and Teena Brandon?"
"My characterization of the interview was that it appeared to me that he A. was seeking her story, he was trying to get an idea of her version of events. He was trying to get detailed information from her about the chronology of events as well as what the events were.
"As I reviewed the transcript of that I found that he certainly used some There were times when it language that I didn't find particularly appropriate. appeared that he was using what I would consider locker room talk and that I think some would find offensive.
"But with respect to being confrontational necessarily with Teena Brandon, I didn't find that he was, quite frankly, as confrontational as many officers I've seen doing interviews with victims of sexual assault.
"I can honestly say that I have interviewed victims of sexual assault prior to trial, prior to preliminary hearings, prior to depositions and have been myself much more confrontational with them about areas where I might feel that they have been inconsistent or where they have given information that seems difficult to understand and may bear on areas where a defense attorney is going to make a big stink so to speak.

On the ground next to my spent 20-gauge hull was a shard of coal. It wasn't a large piece, but its depth of blackness stood out so prominently amongst the brown and light tan Johnson and love grass that I picked it up. Because I was in Kentucky, the mineral made me think of Abraham Lincoln. Legend has it that the Bluegrass State's most famous son did his schoolwork by lamp light writing on a shovel with a piece of coal. In this way, he logged plenty of time practicing the three Rs—reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic—and history tells us what an impact that made.
Lincoln was a far more studious man than I, and on this day, it showed. I had shirked all my daily duties in favor of following a brace of bird dogs through Kentucky's rolling hills and fields. When they pointed and honored, I did my very best to connect on the resulting flushes and put a few feathers in their mouths during the retrieves.
I was in Sturgis, a small town with a tremendous amount of outstanding bird habitat. Located in northwestern Kentucky, the town is a chip shot from the Indiana border and seems to be a stone's throw from Missouri. In the past few centuries the area has attracted quite a diversity of visitors—the historic Old Talbott Tavern, built in 1779, housed Abe Lincoln, the outlaw Jesse James, and "old blood and guts" General George S. Patton. Imagine having a conversation with that crew over a double Kentucky bourbon!
Another notable man, Tracey Lieske, can be added to that list. In many ways he is equally distinguished in his field of expertise, with his choice being wingshooting and bird dogs. Lieske has been a fixture in the shooting-sports industry for decades and is well known for his work at a number of the country's top bird-hunting venues. He's got a stellar reputation for developing excellent bird dogs, a skill set he's honed over four decades since he trained his first dog (a springer) when he was only 12. Lieske's latest endeavor is Wild Wing Lodge, an expansive, 12,000-acre quail hunting area that represents his life's work… read more

Chiara Aurelia
She's got the look, the smirk, and the attitude. She was the perfect snob in Pretty Little Liars and she'd make the perfect Little Red.
Kyla Deaver
Curls and all! This girl would be adorable as Goldie.
Maggie Smith
She does everything spot on perfect and I can't get enough of her. I laugh every time she opens her mouth in Downton Abbey.
Donald Sutherland
Aside from having great hair, he's a wonderfully versatile actor, something that would be very important for this role.
Peter Dinklage
I loved him in Elf and think he'd make a perfect Borlen. He's a grumpy dwarf, but in a likable sort of way.
*Spoiler Alert*
The beast in Red is female and I think Zoe Saldana would be perfect.
I loved her in Guardians of the Galaxy. She has the perfect mix of badass with just a dash of vulnerability that makes her real and not overdone.

Discovery NM/CT 670
October 11, 2009 – GE Healthcare announced the European launch of Discovery NM/CT 670, a hybrid imaging platform designed to improve workflow, dose management, and overall image quality, during the EANM'09 Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine, held Oct. 10-14 in Barcelona, Spain.
The system combines GE Healthcare's BrightSpeed Elite 16-slice CT, a newly designed SPECT gantry for greater positional flexibility, and the latest advancements in Nuclear Medicine detectors.
The Discovery NM/CT 670 is designed enable physicians to perform advanced hybrid and standalone CT procedures. The Discovery NM/CT 670 platform incorporates flexible and proven workflow technology advancements from 10 years of Infinia Hawkeye innovations and installations with a modular gantry, designed to embrace tomorrow's technology today. The BrightSpeed Elite, providing proven multi-slice CT performance, completes the academic system.
"With the combination of advanced CT and SPECT technology available on the Discovery NM/CT 670, we will be able to optimize both our SPECT and standalone CT protocols," said professor Ora Israel from Rambam Medical Center, Israel.
The Discovery NM/CT 670 also has the capability to shorten acquisition times, improve dose management, and enable more convenient patient scheduling in comparison to separate, conventional SPECT and CT exams.
Keeping the patient in mind, the system is said to able to reduce scan time dramatically. Bone imaging protocols, including planar whole body, 3D SPECT and CT attenuation correction/localization, are amongst the most frequently performed nuclear medicine procedures. With conventional nuclear hybrid imaging, a traditional bone imaging protocol can take up to 55 minutes. With the Discovery NM/CT 670, the time is reduced to as little as 25 minutes. This reduction in time can be less painful, and possibly reduce patient movement due to the pain or uncomfortable positioning, minimizing artifacts in the scan. A shorter, more comfortable scan also has the potential to improve image quality, allowing clinicians to be more confident in their diagnosis.
The Discovery NM/CT 670 is 510(k) pending at FDA. It is not available for sale in the United States.

Indian Man, Jadav Payeng, Single-Handedly Plants A 1,360 Acre Forest In Assam
"The snakes died in the heat, without any tree cover. I sat down and wept over their lifeless forms. It was carnage . I alerted the forest department and asked them if they could grow trees there. They said nothing would grow there. Instead, they asked me to try growing bamboo. It was painful, but I did it. There was nobody to help me. Nobody was interested,"
- Jadav Payeng, Environmentalist
An Indian man has single-handedly grown a sprawling forest on a 1,360 acre (550-hectare) sandbar in the middle of the Brahmaputra. It now has many endangered animals, including at least five tigers, one of which bore two cubs recently.
It all started way back in 1979 when floods washed a large number of snakes ashore on the sandbar. One day, after the waters had receded, Payeng , only 16 then, found the place dotted with the dead reptiles. That was the turning point of his life.

ROME (Reuters) - Restorers believe they may have found the initials of Giotto in a fresco attributed to the early Renaissance master in the lower basilica of St Francis in Assisi.
The discovery, unveiled on Thursday, was made in the Chapel of St. Nicholas, one of the last parts of the basilica-convent complex to be restored since it was damaged in by an earthquake in 1997.
"This is clearly a type of signature. These are clearly initials and not a decoration," said Sergio Fusetti, who restored the chapel, which is near the tomb of St Francis.
"It was not added on later but was done at the same time as the fresco, when the plaster was wet," he said by telephone.
The initials were discovered in a triptych showing St. Nicholas, the Madonna and child and St. Francis.
In a triangular area dividing the second and third part of the triptych, restorers found what clearly resembles the letter B and under it, what may be the letter G.
Giotto's full name was Giotto di Bondone. Italians often use their surname before their given name, hence Giotto, who died in 1337, could have used the initials BG.
The second letter, the presumed G, is below the first and is much harder to see because that part of the triangle is damaged.
The chapel was painted in the first few years of the 14th century after Giotto painted the more famous frescoes depicting scenes from the life of St Francis in the upper basilica.
The chapel had been for centuries attributed to the work of Giotto's pupils until modern art historians began attributing the triptych to the master himself.
The discovery of the initials would strengthen the case that Giotto was the painter of the triptych.
"Giotto did not sign many things. It is now up to art historians to study this and see what it means," Fusetti said.
The chapel of St Nicholas, in the northern end of the transept of the lower basilica, was commissioned by Cardinal Napoleone Orsini to be his burial place, but his brother died first and was buried there instead.
For decades before the restoration that discovered the initials, the chapel near the main altar of the lower basilica, had been closed to the public. It was used as either a dressing place for priests celebrating Mass or a depository for candles, vestments and other material.
The initials were the latest discovery related to Giotto in the basilica.
Last year, restorers found the figure of a devil hidden in the clouds of one of the most famous Giotto frescos in the upper basilica.
The devil was hidden in the details of clouds at the top of fresco number 20 in the cycle of the scenes in the life and death of St Francis painted by Giotto in the late 13th century.
The basilica was severely damaged by an earthquake in 1997. Two parts of the ceiling of the upper basilica collapsed, killing four people, including two monks.

Noahstradamus makes a prophecy for 2025
I've written a lot on this blog about how, if a rising China challenges the global political order than has prevailed since WW2, it would entail serious costs for the entire planet. Now I'd like to make this warning a little more concrete, by predicting exactly when such a challenge is most likely to occur.
Specifically, I predict that if it comes, it will come in or around the year 2025.
Why? Well, after the midpoint of the next decade, China will have some serious issues to deal with.
The first of these issues is energy. China, like most countries, uses two main sources of energy: coal for producing electricity, and oil for transportation. Both of these will be in short supply after the mid-2020s. The International Energy Agency predicts that global oil production will hit a plateau in 2020 and start to fall in 2030; various studies put the peak of China's domestic coal production between 2020 and 2030 as well, and coal is difficult and expensive to import. Scarcer energy will seriously erode China's unbeatable competitive advantage in manufacturing (much of which was built on extremely profligate use of energy), and nuclear and renewable energy will even come close to making up the difference.
Now, you may be thinking: won't the increasing scarcity of energy make China more likely to mount a serious challenge to the global order (as Japan did in 1941 when its oil supply was cut off)? Well, yes, but China is not stupid, and will see (actually, has probably already seen) the supply crunch coming. If China wakes up and finds that its coal and oil supplies are dropping fast, it won't be able to do anything, because taking control of a large amount of foreign energy supplies requires using a lot of coal and oil. Wars take lots of fuel, and building a big enough military to supplant the U.S. in its system of global alliances takes a lot of fuel too. China's best move is therefore to take control of as much global fossil fuel supply as it can while it still has enough energy to spare; as many have noted, this is what it is already doing. If China waits til after 2030 or so to make its move, it will be too late.
China's second challenge is its population structure. The country is aging rapidly; the U.S. Census Bureau predicts that the population will begin to decline in absolute terms starting in 2026, and the dependency ratio (the ratio of non-working people to working people) is expected to rise sharply around the same time. Nations that age this fast run into all kinds of natural limits to growth, as children are obliged to spend most of their money supporting their parents and grandparents; in addition, a lack of surplus sons makes it fairly difficult to maintain a big army. Even easing or lifting the one-child rule will not be sufficient to boost China's fertility, so this rapid aging is essentially a foregone conclusion.
China's third challenge is another natural resource: water. China's most important farming region, the North China Plain, is experiencing rapid groundwater depletion, and global warming is playing havoc with the country's rivers and rain patterns. By 2030, these problems will force China to import a lot of food, and will throw a bunch of farmers off their land, causing social disruption.
Finally, China's biggest challenge is simply the dizzying speed of its own economic growth. According to the Solow growth model, the simplest and most widely used model in macroeconomics, countries that invest heavily in physical capital see diminishing returns to scale as their economy becomes saturated with this capital; their growth then slows, no matter how high their savings and investment rates. The experience of countries like Japan, Korea, and various countries in Europe suggests that this slowing happens when a country reaches about half of the per-capita GDP of the richest nations (i.e. the U.S.). If China keeps growing at its current rapid rate, it should reach half of U.S. per capita GDP (in PPP terms) by 2030. The slowing of China's growth will create internal political tensions, as people who had come to expect a permanent gravy train demand a bigger slice of a slower-growing pie. It will also leave less of an economic surplus for China to spend on things like war with other great powers.
So in the late 2020s, China will experience rising energy costs, rising food and water costs, a rapidly aging population, the shrinking of its workforce, and diminishing returns to investment. All of that will not make it impossible for China to challenge the U.S. and its allies for global dominance, but it will make it a much dicier proposition.
But of course, as things stand, China is still not powerful enough to displace the U.S. as global Top Dog. Our military technology is still significantly superior, our economy is still significantly larger, and we and our allies still control a very big chunk of global energy supplies. China's leaders are cautious; if they try to mount a major challenge to U.S. power, they will wait until the last minute to do so. Which brings me to my prediction of 2025.
What would such a "challenge" look like? To be honest, I don't know. In the past, it was usually a war, but nuclear weapons make that seem unlikely in this day and age. China might attack a U.S. ally, I suppose - conquer Taiwan, or seize the territory it still claims in India - but even that seems pretty darn risky to me. Some sort of geopolitical assertion of authority, backed up by the implicit threat of military force, seems more likely. They might simply move to somehow take de facto control of a big chunk of global energy supplies, but not being well-versed in these things, I'm not sure how they'd do it. Or they might stake a unilateral claim to the South China Sea, declaring that the U.S. rule of free ocean transport is over and done.
Or they might do nothing. It may be that in an age of dwindling populations and energy supplies, controlling the geopolitical order is just not worth it for any country, even one with China's oligarchic governmental structure and nationalistic sentiment. I hope that this is the case, and in fact I think it not unlikely that China will decide simply to live within the existing order after all.
But I wouldn't bet the farm on that happy outcome. And neither should the United States and our allies; we should be expanding and strengthening our alliances, maintaining our technological edge, and adopting sensible far-sighted economic policies. If the challenge does come, then the more ready for it we are, the less destructive and dangerous it will be.

I'm more worried about surplus sons than surplus daughters, because we all know that the main reason China is going to start any wars is going to in order to take over nearby countries and take their women.ReplyDelete

Please join us April 23rd at 11:30 A.M. at the Four Horseman Comics & Gaming in Morgantown for #6–18: From Under Ice (a level 1—5 scenario) and #6–06: Hall of the Flesh Eaters (a level 1—5 scenario); bring your dice, bring your miniatures, and bring your character sheet… we hope to see you there!
From Under Ice: Rumors of an ancient settlement and its priceless treasure locked beneath Irrisen's perpetual ice have reached the Society's ears. The Pathfinders set out to the Land of the Linnorm Kings with a precious cargo of trade goods to buy their way into the witch-ruled nation, but even approaching Irrisen is fraught with danger. Can the PCs navigate the frozen wastes and recover the relics within, or will the icy climate claim their lives?
Hall of the Flesh Eaters: Shrouded in thick fog, the shifting Gloomspires north of the Shackles have long frustrated explorers. However, a recent discovery by the Pathfinder Society has revealed a brief opportunity to navigate the columns safely and search for the lost treasure of the legendary pirate Sevenfingers. The only problem is that the Pathfinders are not the only visitors to the Gloomspires.
* For Pathfinders who have played with us in Morgantown before, please remember to populate the Morgantown PFS Record on Google Docs so we can plan adventures going forward. This document is very out of date, so please add an 'x' for played, 'gm' for Game Mastered, or 'x/gm' if you have done both. Thanks!

Review: Five Came Back (1939)
The pilots are able to land the plane into a remote jungle, but it is populated with headhunters. The pilots have to repair the plane before they can try to take off and it's a race against time. As the headhunters drums signal they are preparing to attack. Days turns into weeks and most everybody pull their own weight except for Crimp and Ellis who become full on alcoholics. Everyone else remains strong and vigilant. The top performances are by Calleia who actually turns out to be a fair and actually likable man. He is at ease with the current situation because he knows once the plane if fixed, he is that much closer to being hanged for his crimes. Lucille Ball is very good in a rare dramatic role that makes her tarnished lady trying her best to be a better person, despite the resistance from others. Wendy Barrie is also very good as the lovestruck secretary who manages to put her alcoholic fiancee in check. Allen Jenkins is tops as Pete, who believes in honor, despite being on the wrong side of the law. Morris and Taylor are very good in their roles as the pilots. And C. Aubrey Smith is excellent as the Professor who is very knowledgeable about the current situtation. The final twist at the end is a shocker and makes one take value of life and choices. There are a few deaths before then but when the climax comes you will be completely enthralled.
The running time is only about 75 minutes long but it is a taut, tension filled 75 minutes. It's to the director's skill and credit that we actually never see the headhunters but we know they're coming thanks to those constantly banging drums. Five Came Back is a top notch thriller that deserves more attention now since it didn't receive it back then. A pleasing little B thriller from yesteryear.

I saw this at the L.A. County Museum of Art many years ago and found it so spooky! It really had me on the edge of my seat. Not many people seem to have heard of this one so I especially enjoyed reading your thoughts.

Scrum Master
A nobody. The two-day training course to "master" this role is too long. The scrum master has to stick post-it notes to the wall. These can be printed directly from software, but many scrum masters prefer the sleeves-rolled-up attitude of the hand-written sticky. Although frequently illegible, the details on such hand-written notes can always be found on some unspecified sharepoint page. The sole purpose of the notes is to draw attention to the scrum master's existence.
Software Project Lead (SPL)
A jumped-up title for a jumped-up team lead. There used to be specialised project managers but the word "leader" sounds so much more impressive to impressionable souls too young to know anything at all about the ultimate horrors of the leadership principle. Thus SPLs can be hired at a fraction of the price of real project managers.
Product Owner
Usually a semi-skilled business analyst (BA) with little to no knowlegge of technology or business. The POs role is Hitlerean and he or she will lay down the law and make up rules as they see fit. It is impossible to argue with a PO, so don't bother.
Anybody who can in any way influence the project.
Technical experts
There is no place for a technical expert on an agile team. The point of agile methods is to eliminate expensive technical experts and replace them with even more expensive technical consultants, or better yet, just consultants.
Independent tester
There is no need for independent testing of Agile software, another cost saving.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh: A Review
Wizards of the Coast is promoting
Ghosts of Saltmarsh
as an adventure book with a setting and rule supplements so since I already did a spoiler-free review of the book overall, let's take a closer look at the adventures it contains. While I avoid significant spoilers, be aware that broad information about each adventure is mentioned.
Shadowrun Sixth World Beginner Box Review
Shadowrun Sixth World Beginner Box
due for release at Origins this June will be our first look at the new edition of the now 30-year-old Shadowrun game system. This new edition promises to be a more streamlined experience for new players while still satisfying veterans, but does it live up to that promise?
Ghosts of Saltmarsh: First Impressions
Ghosts of Saltmarsh
will make Greyhawk fans happy without losing newer
Edition players. Billed as a supplement for nautical adventures, it's a mix of new rules for ships and sea travel, adventures and supplemental material for any coastal campaign.
Things from the Flood: A Review
Sequels can be a tricky thing to handle, especially when they promise a darker, edgier tone. Despite its much gloomier tone, however,
Things from the Flood
manages to avoid difficult-second-album syndrome with a game that neatly blends weird sci-fi mysteries and teenage drama, though sometimes its hard to tell which aspect is the most dangerous and unsettling.

text: It has been three months since I started my home renovation. Since Home Depot is pretty much the main and bigger store for things I needed in my area so I spent more time looking for any upgrades for my home fixtures. Last November I started removing carpet in my living room and now installed new hard floor. I like the looks of it though it is pretty much different walking in hard surface that when it was padded carpet. I don't remember how many times I've been back and forth in the hardware store and lumber. I even went through the tool section and picked all the main tools necessary to make the job and I remember passing by the welding equipment as I look around for soldering materials. If I can remember right, my first power tool was my drill then I got the sander, then another drill to use as screw driver so I did not have to go back and forth, then I had the circular saw. Now I got myself a router table and saw , a miter saw and a table saw for the next job. I found out that having these tools saves me time and also easy on my hands and body. It is worth to spend money on tools . With all these power equipment mentioned, always have SAFETY FIRST.

Does your child have knee pain? Do they complain of pain while walking, running or jumping?
Knee pain in teenagers commonly includes Patello-Femoral Pain Syndrome where the knee cap grinds across the joint and Osgood-Schlatter's disease, which is a growth plate problem in the lower leg.
Podiatrists regularly treat knee pain. Your foot posture, hip and knee position influences the way you walk and the movement at the knee.
At Brindabella Podiatry we will perform a thorough walking and foot posture assessment, look at muscle lengths, joint ranges of motion, footwear and activities/sports. Most importantly we will determine what is causing the knee pain and implement a treatment plan to re-align the knee position to prevent pain and further damage.
We can refer direct for X-Ray, MRI or Ultrasound if further diagnostics are required. You do not need a GP referral to see a podiatrist.

Sounds like they only use 2 datacenters, or maybe even only single primary one with a "backup".
"Update: 1:28 pm ESTSource http://blog.lastpass.com/
Though one of our data centers remains completely down, the service is generally stable and should be available to the majority of users (with the exception of login favicons). Some users may see connection errors but should still be able to access their data. We continue to work as quickly as possible to get the service back to 100%. "
"Aug 12, 2014 - One of LastPass' datacenters has been down since 3:57am EDT. The service is now running fully off one Herndon VA datacenter and we have been engaged with our provider all morning.

Anything else is absolutely useless and not worth the time >speccing/implementing. I agree absolutely. What we have with EOT is a "necessary evil", a legacy format that has been amended, resuscitated, and reborn unexpectedly as EOTL - a format that allows web fonts to be 1) delivered to a huge installed base of users 2) under terms acceptable to font-producers, web authors, and browser makers.

Insofar as the "garden fence" of separation between web delivery and OS (desktop) installation is essentially the same for both EOTL and .webOTF, font-producers would be shooting themselves in the foot if they were to start cherry-picking which format to support and sanction. It makes no sense to say "yes" to one and not the other. The day that .webOTF - whatever final form it takes - reaches the same level of market saturation that .webOTF and EOTL together would have today, is the day EOTL becomes obsolete. Deprecated. Kaput. So when Ricardo (aka outrasfontes) writes: >> So Foundry/Vendor X can analyze the Pros and Cons involved and decide >> to licence its fonts using Format 1, Format 2, or both maybe. For now, >> I'm beta-testing everything that is possible. I hope he keeps testing like crazy. I hope he spreads the word among his colleagues about the progress that's been made here and encourages them to download the necessary files so that they, too, can test on their own. (And make known the results - any glitches, problems, issues, etc...) But when you entertain the idea, Ricardo, of licensing for one and not the other, please re-think that and remove it as a viable option. It isn't a viable option.

|Word processor
Adobe InCopy is a professional word processor made by Adobe Systems. It integrates with Adobe InDesign. While InDesign is used to publish printed material, including newspapers and magazines, InCopy is used for general word processing. The software enables editors to write, edit, and design documents. The software includes standard word processing features such as spell check, track changes, and word count, and has various viewing modes that allow editors to visually inspect design elements — just as it looks to the designer working in Adobe InDesign.[1]
Version 3.0 of InCopy was included in the first Adobe Creative Suite in 2003,[2] and later versions were included in versions of the Creative Suite up until version CS6.[3] Since 2013 newer versions have been made available only through Adobe Creative Cloud.
Viewing modes[edit]
InCopy has three viewing modes: Story mode, galley mode and layout mode. The story mode is for reading and editing text in a screen-wide view without page formatting. The galley mode displays text without page formatting but with line numbers and the same line breaks seen in the layout mode. Both galley and story views show the names of the style sheets applied to the text but do not display the actual formatting. The layout mode shows the true page design layout along with images and overset text.[4]
Although InCopy can be used as a word processor (with full printing and exporting functions), it is primarily used to integrate with Adobe InDesign. Once integrated, writers, editors and designers can simultaneously work on the same page; the designer creates the page layout with InDesign, while editors simultaneously edit different stories with InCopy, via the Adobe LiveEdit rights management system. Publishers often use a publishing system including workflow- and rights-management to the design and editing capabilities of the publishing system software.
Internationalization and localization[edit]
A Middle Eastern edition of InCopy is specifically developed for Arabic and Hebrew languages. It features:
- Text settings: Special settings for laying out Arabic or Hebrew text, such as:
- Possibility to use Arabic, Persian or Hindi digits
- Use kashida for letter spacing and full justification
- Ligature option
- Adjust the position of diacritics (such as Arabic vowels)
- Justify text in three possible ways: Standard, Arabic, Naskh[further explanation needed]
- Option to insert special characters, including three Hebrew characters (geresh, gershayim, maqaf) and an Arabic one (Kashida)
- Apply standard, Arabic or Hebrew styles for page, paragraph and footnote numbering
- Bi-directional text flow: The notion of right-to-left behavior applies to several objects: Story, paragraph, character and table. Right-to-left and left-to-right content can be mixed.
- Dictionary and hyphenation module: Includes a dictionary for Hebrew or Arabic for spelling check, with a choice of rules, like strict alef hamza, strict final yāʾ, both or none.
- Enhanced font support: Supports most fonts shipped with the OS as well as a large number[quantify] of third-party fonts.
- Search and replace: It is possible to search and change specific occurrences of Middle Eastern characters, words, groups of words, or text formatted a certain way across a selection, one or more stories, a document, or multiple open documents. Searching for OpenType attributes such as fractions and swashes is also supported.
- Importing and exporting: Can import QuarkXPress files, even using Arabic XT, Arabic Phonyx or Hebrew QXPressWay fonts, retaining the layout and content. Includes 50 import and export filters.

Flame Warden Bob
June 25, 2009 Leave a comment
Blizzard currently has their Midsummer Fire Festival event running in World of Warcraft. It runs from June 21 – July 5 and has a number of varying 'festivities' and quests.
I have been on an EVE Online kick for a few weeks now and am really enjoying it. Thus I haven't logged into WoW since around early may…until last night. Now I've been playing since launch and have experienced most content, but WoW is slowly losing it's appeal for me mainly because it less 'new' and more 'grind' nowadays.
I tend to be obsessive-compulsive at times and WoW's wonderful achievement system has had its hooks in me for awhile now. Again I'm by no means 'hardcore', but I enjoy running around completing the achievements I can. My main quest has been to complete What A Long, Straing Trip It's Been. Thus, every in-game event season, I have to get in and grind out the sub-achievement.
Being that I will be away for a couple weeks here soon and that Mrs. Facepalm is away on business for a couple days, I knew I had a good opportunity to get the achievement done. It was hard to get motivated, but once I got home I fired up the WoW Launcher, plugged in my iPhone Authenticator code (I used to have the fob, but upgraded to the app) and off I went.
I had completely forgotten where I had last logged out. There was a patch I needed to download, so that took an extra 15 minutes or so. Eventually I was sitting at the entrance to Stratholme, apparently I was grinding Baron Rivendare for his mount when I last logged, so there I was. As Wilhelm pointed out in his post earlier, this event is much like the Lunar Festival. You run to practically every corner of the world talking to quest NPCs and/or interacting with quest items, in this case giant bonfires. Ugh, I was definitely not looking forward to riding around all night long. Regardless, I saddled up and off I went.
I tried to map out the most efficient path to hit all the festival locations. Being that I was in a hurry I used the wonderful guide over at Wowhead. The Eastern Kingdoms was pretty quick, it took me about an hour and a half. After that I headed to Outlands where my epic flying mount and crusader aura helped me knocked that sub-achievement out in around thirty minutes. Then the part I was dreading, Kalimdor.
I've never played a Night Elf or a Draeni, or much Horde for that matter, so I haven't spent too much time in the West. The flight paths are long and the running around is pretty much a pain in the arse. The festival locations where spread out pretty far in between so it took me the better part of two and a half hours to get everything completed. Finally, I hearthed to Dalaran and hit all the locations in Northrend even though they are not required for the meta-achievement and have no achievement of their own. My obsessive-compulsive side showing through yet again.
I finally tackled the King of the Fire Festival sub-achievement where you have to visit all the Horde capital cities and steal their fire. I had somehow forgotten to do this while I was running to all the festival sites. Ugh. I made it through Thunderbluff, Silvermoon, and The Undercity with no problems. Orgrimmar however proved to be another story. Being a Paladin I was able to bubble up and get to the fire, but I had a dozen or so guards on me as well as half as many Horde, needless to say I took the graveyard resurrection (since there was a festival site right next to it) and moved on.
When all was said and done, it had taken me around five hours to compelete everything minus Ice the Frost Lord, where you have to visit The Slave Pens in Zangarmarch in The Outlands to summon and kill a festival-only boss. Now, as Wilhelm pointed out, this festival can have amazing experience gains for lower level characters. I had made just shy of 950 gold on the quest turn-ins alone. A lower-level character wouldn't make quite that much (extra gold for being max-level) but it would still be worthwhile, though it would probably take a little longer considering I used the portals in Dalaran and Shattrath profusely, plus my epic mounts and crusader aura.
It was nearing midnight, but I was able to get in a quick group to dive into Slave Pens for the final piece of the meta-achievement. This is an encounter that, for max-level characters, should be fairly trivial. The hard part comes from the fact that you can only summon the boss one time per day, per character. Unfortunately no one in our group was able to summon him, me included since I had attempted to help a lower level character with the achievement and had wiped. Finally, around 1 am we found someone to help us. Three minutes later and Bob had his 'Flame Warden' Title along with the meta-achievement. Being that I had waffle face from falling asleep on my keyboard a few times times I forgot to grab a screen shot, and I was really trying to remember to do that too! Argh. I promise I'll be better at taking pictures in the future, I think it really helps to break apart these walls-of-text that I write.
Anyways, one step closer to completing the uber-meta-achievement I so eagerly covet. Bob was in Azeroth for six hours, became 950 gold richer, and was a little saddle sore, but all-in-all another successful MMO evening.
p.s. – Bob is my main WoW character in case you were wondering.

text: I am a follower of a great blog at http://www.wineandglue.com/ and they always have these luscious recipes along with really neat decorating tips and crafting projects and some humorous and thought-provoking posts. This one I really did like and have printed it for my two youngest grankids. http://www.wineandglue.com/2014/10/thirty-days-thankful-printable.html I am so looking forward to their sharing each day of what they are thankful for. It really hit home with me because in a recent Bible Study (about the life of Moses), we discussed how the Israelites grumbled about their trials rather than celebrate in their freedom from the Egyptians and going to the Lord in prayer. I am thinking this might be a good thing for adults to do also!

I don't really understand what you mean by input and output sections. You can do any any of the following: music={c d e f} \score{ \transpose c bes \music } music=\transpose c bes {c d e f} \score{ \music } \score{ \transpose c bes {c d e f} } as well as \music={\transposition bes c d e f} \score{ \music } \music={c d e f} \score{ {\transposition bes \music} } As far as I understand, the point of \transposition is that you can make a printed version of the music and a MIDI version of the same music without having to make two separate \score{...} sections (one with \transpose and one without). In other words, \transposition solves a completely different problem than \transpose. Of course, if this is unclear in the documentation, it should be improved. /Mats address@hidden wrote:
Oops ... my bad here ... I've just seen the sentence about MIDI output and how it doesn't affect printing. But I would still respectfully suggest that it *should* affect printing, it seems to me we have here a generic solution being applied over-narrowly to a specific problem. Let's say I want to enter a Bb part in Bb. If I understand things correctly, I now correct the MIDI output to true pitch by using a \transposition statement in the note *input* section, but I correct the printed output to true pitch by using a \transpose statement in the *output* section. That doesn't make sense to me :-(So - can I respectfully suggest we have a big bug here - either in the manual or in the implementation of transposition. And imho the bug should be in the implementation - by changing the implementation we don't change the current functionality as seen by the user, but we do make the manual correct, and we make the behaviour of transposition both more consistent and more powerful.

web|aggression offers complete web development services. We will create an initial design for you, or design around your current marketing efforts. We scan your logos and graphics and convert them into sleek, fast-loading images that will impress your potential customers.
With each client, we gather information and pinpoint preferences, then we custom-design each site based on that feedback. Our goal is the total satisfaction of our clients. We will provide multiple iterations of the design until you have the final product that encompasses the image you desire.
Strategy and Discovery
During the first phase, we meet with you to discuss your goals for your web presence. We listen to what you want. We ask questions. Who is your target market? What will define success for your website? We research your competition and do a competitive analysis. We review current marketing campaigns or collateral materials.
In this phase, we will define the structure and navigation of the website. A well designed website allows your visitors to easily navigate the site. We achieve this by breaking down the site into sections and laying out the site in logical, orderly components.
Creative Design and Copywriting
This is the design phase of the process. During design, we incorporate all the information from the previous phases and create a static mock-up design. We consider all aspects; aesthetics, search engine optimization (SEO), navigation and more. Once the initial design is complete, it is posted to a private site for your review. We will keep working until you are satisfied with the design.
If you don't have copy or text for your website, we will begin the copywriting process. Our writers will meet one-on-one with you and translate your thoughts and ideas into a creative and search engine optimized format.
Backend Programming and Database
If you have selected a dynamic design with a content management system (CMS), or other dynamic features, we will continue your site development. Once the site design and layout is complete we begin the programming and database phase. We develop the database to dynamically serve your information and program the pages in your choose format (HTML, ASP.NET, PHP). This allows you to have features such as updating your own website, newsletters, photo gallery, project lists, blogs, press releases, ecommerce systems and more.
Testing and Training
In this phase, we thoroughly test all of our programming. Both the frontend and backend are tested to insure proper functionality. We also provide training that includes walking through individuals who will be updating and maintaining the website and supporting materials.
Site Launch
The most exciting phase of the process is actually launching the site. We manually submit your website to the search engines like Google and Bing. This will insure that your site will be indexed and found in the natural search engine results.

Windows Phone 8 – for iPhone users who want a larger screen
I love Windows Phone 8. It reminded me of when I picked up a 1st generation iPod Touch when it was first released (before iPhone!) and how intuitively easy it was to become familiar with iOS (1.0?). WP8 seems to lean towards users who don't really care so much about customization and love intuitive functionality.
It would be PERFECT for an iPhone user who wants a bigger screen using phones such as the Lumia 920 or HTC 8X. I want it to be a huge competitor, but the WP8 app store needs to build up its catalog. And Microsoft, for the love of digital god, please fix Skype. You know you own it, right?
The Bad
With all that cash under its mattress, Microsoft MUST encourage popular app developers to make apps for WP8. I'm sure they've been doing just that, but not well enough. I was most disappointed to find (or not find) that Flipboard hasn't made it to WP8 (yet).
I know this isn't specifically WP8, but the Skype app is inexcusably bad. Despite Microsoft buying Skype a couple years ago, WP8′s version is by far the worst out of all OS'. Skype itself claims it's still in beta (preview) for WP8, which is an excuse so people won't grumble too much when they encounter bugs. But this charade has gone on long enough. There are barely any features, such as switching front and back cameras, to even have bugs. For this, I cast binary shame upon thee, Microsoft.
The Good
I am a great fan of the side-scrolling navigation. You'll quickly become accustomed to side-scrolling by visual cues and clues.
In some apps, like Shazam, it feels like the phone contains a page or tapestry that is wider than the phone itself. You scroll from left to right so the display focuses on what you want.
The live tiles and the way they occupy the home screen is pretty cool; I didn't miss wallpapers at all. The tiles display information from the app on the home screen without having to go into it, which is similar to Android's Widgets. You can adjust tile sizes, rearrange them and change color themes. Even the brown theme looks good on this thing.
For everyday functionality, such as phone, texts, email, calendar, etc, WP8′s native apps are intuitive and work perfectly well. However, only Nokia phones will have their brand of map features (HERE) which are on par with Google Maps. Other WP8 phones are stuck with Bing Maps which is OK, but you'll find it lags behind Google Maps.

Field's debut historical novel takes a look at upper-class life in 18th-century England.
Viewers of the hit television show Downton Abbey and fans of modern-day British royalty are certainly familiar with the pressure on aristocrats to produce an heir. Geoffrey and his wife, Anne, Lord and Lady Stoneleigh, adore their five daughters yet worry over the future of their estate, due to their failure to produce a male child as an heir to the family fortune. The story of Geoffrey and Anne's marriage and daily life introduces readers to their social circle of wealthy men and women, all living on prosperous estates in the English countryside. As Geoffrey and Anne struggle over questions of the future, Geoffrey's widowed mother delves into her dead husband's past to find answers regarding the existence of his former lover. The dowager must also decide how she feels about the present-day attentions of her old friend and neighbor, Lord Wortham. Meanwhile, Wortham's son, Lord Lynnhurst, attempts to win back the affections of his childhood love, Miss Compton, despite her lower social status. These personal conflicts whirl amid a plethora of fancy dinners and extravagant balls, and Field does a marvelous job of sketching out her characters and settings. She beautifully captures the intimacy and mutual respect of Geoffrey and Anne's relationship and realistically presents the complicated dowager's many facets and motivations. There are vivid descriptions of sumptuous feasts ("silver trays laden with venison, sirloin of beef…and bowls of steaming buttered potatoes"), and the author revels in bringing ladies' fashion to life, detailing frocks of "iridescent silk" or a "taffeta brocaded gown interwoven with lace." In addition, she touches on broader politics and societal trends—such as the controversial Enclosure Acts, which wrested land rights from poor farmers—and the vicious gossip and whims of London society. The work even crosses genres: Field's detailed research offers a fine contribution to historical fiction, and her passionate love scenes will satisfy those seeking a titillating romance.
A feast for readers looking to taste the luxurious lifestyle of the English upper crust.

All individuals must have acknowledged Chicago, il, il Blackhawks regular company Stan Bowman wasnai??i??t placement ron for this yearai??i??s organization agreement.
The particular useful Bowman stated as much month-to-month near to once again, nevertheless these people are actually basically coping with their unique actions. Subsequent acquiring forward Tomas Jurco within the cials brand. Detroit Red-colored Wings on Proves, the particular Blackhawks extra defenseman Ashton Oduya within the Dallas Celebrities on Thursday night.
You might bear in mind Oduya because the certainly perfect guarding pal regarding Niklas Hjalmarsson and a essential individual within the real Blackhawksai??i?? Stanley Cup-winning companies inside 2013 together with 2015.
Certainly, this excellent isnai??i??t 2013 along with 2015. Nevertheless Oduya might be requested by means of Bowman in order to build-up the specific Chicago, il, il protection that has skilled it is problems by way of this season.
Letai??i??s seperated some of the dangerous along with excellent operating this excellent provide to find out what type of Blackhawks resulted in from this.
Advantages in the actual provide
In scenario an individual missed this unique, Brandon Mashinter Jersey the particular Blackhawks acquired Oduya within the Celebrities regarding forward Tag McNeill and a conditional fourth-round select inside 2018. Hereai??i??s a lot more details, superb techniques TSNai??i??s Sincere McKenzie:
Dallas furthermore provides made the decision in order to protect 50 % related to Oduyaai??i??s earnings, leaving all of them within the restrict hit related to $1. 875 1000.
So concerning the particular superb element, the particular Blackhawks acquired McNeill using a cleanup start somewhere else. It absolutely was pretty apparent these people wasnai??i??t regarded as the specific useful NHL participator while using Blackhawks, so they shipped all of them apart together with acquired the specific useful NHL product just like a trade.
The particular create select is generally a small throw inside, even though this is the third-rounder. Bowman held on to their unique first- together with second-round suggestions this year with their own first-rounder inside 2018, that you just identify these people are actually thinking about task ai??i?? regardless of whether regarding actual take full advantage of along with regarding afterwards dealings.
Consider this specific anytime taking into consideration the price compensated the following while using Blackhawks:
Chicago, il Tribuneai??i??s Truthful Hine might create a remarkably outstanding phase the following. Kimmo Timonen execute essentially practically nothing regarding Chicago, Niklas Hjalmarsson Jersey il, il together with cost the particular Blackhawks big selection related to time period inside the particular create suggestions department.
Oduya will certainly may perform a good deal a lot more for that Blackhawks together with cost them all two home they may purchase in order to dedicate.
Furthermore with regards to the in addition element, Oduya together with previously experiencing pal Hjalmarsson may definitely get back together (when the particular second item is really lady in cialis commercial. healthy) in addition to ask for Duncan Keith together with Brent Seabrook in order to perform together once more. Produces the specific perhaps a lot more hard best four when compared with precisely what the particular Blackhawks skilled ongoing.
Disadvantages inside the provide
Certainly, very few expert sporting activities offers in many cases are tilted totally to be able to no less than one element. The particular Blackhawks didnai??i??t happen out of this specific deal with a perfect product.
Oduya is becoming thirty-five occurring thirty-six years old. Heai??i??s dealt with hindfoot difficulties this season as well as offers finished only one time period because of the fact January. 17. Heai??i??s noticed essentially 30 7 game titles related to movement this season as well as offers skilled numerous trouble acquiring the real puck ai??i?? despite the fact that heai??i??s noticed thirty 7 % related to their unique starts inside the uncomfortable region.
The finest anxiety regarding this specific provide, individually, is really harm attainable. Martin Havlat Jersey Once the Blackhawks will in all probability perform option actions prior to the organization agreement, itai??i??ll turn out to be to improve the particular forward corps, definitely not the particular protection. Oduya could be the reinforcements for that blueliners.
Consequently every time they will get damage once more along with issues in order to perform inside the technique these people formerly thrived inside, the particular Blackhawks may have in order to rely a lot more extremely on the type of Dorrie Campbell, Michal Kempny, Trevor pick-up Riemsdyk taladafil on line, taladafil on line, taladafil on line, taladafil on line, taladafil on line, taladafil on line, taladafil on line, taladafil on line. and perhaps genuinely Michal Rozsival ai??i?? that's exactly what this excellent organization is intended to prevent.
Overview, together with precisely what the particular long haul keeps
Common, Personally the particular benefits outweigh the particular drawbacks inside the Blackhawks acquiring Oduya. Thatai??i??s on paper, certainly, nevertheless just like a guy which obtained two Cups in addition to a individual formerly furthermore knows the particular guarding technique should be thought about an excellent superb.
Oduya, regardless of their unique harm problems this season, Jonathan Toews Jersey is generally a guy who can nonetheless eat min's. Heai??i??s averaging 18: 10 related to compacted snow time period for every night inside 2016-17.
At these times, thereai??i??s a lot more with regards to the clavimox with no preciption, clavimox with no preciption, clavimox with no preciption, clavimox with no preciption, clavimox with no preciption, clavimox with no preciption. once more complete within the provide to consider. The particular Blackhawks region Hjalmarsson on harm guide following a particular organization resulted in by way of. Coach Fran Quenneville stated nowadays that Hjammer would not perform nearly all seven days, nonetheless dealing with an injury.
Just precisely what putting Hjammer on IR may is really discharge a lot more space regarding one more add-on available on the market agreement. CapFriendly duties the particular Blackhawksai??i?? present earnings restrict space by way of $1, 156, 176. Despite the fact that thatai??i??s not just a good deal, weai??i??ve noticed Bowman might create components happen in addition viagra natural para hombres. to limited shifting room.
Related to be able to curiosity personally are actually information formerly nowadays that Ville Pokka, along with McNeill, are actually shopped prior to the agreement. Graham Knott Jersey You understand which needs guarding potential customers? The particular Detroit Red-colored Wings. You understand along with a number of forward how a real Blackhawks are actually related to inside agreement conversations? The particular Detroit Red-colored Wings.
