A mine lamp having an improved base structure and envelope that cooperate with the socket and lens of an underground miners head piece to maintain the lamp in a centered position relative to a reflector as the latter is manually adjusted relative to the lamp, and by so doing substantially increasing the light output from the head piece.
I claim:
1. In combination with a miners head piece of the type that includes a housing having a forward and rearward end, a lens secured to said forward end, a tubular socket that projectsforwardly in said housing, a plurality of spring loaded, forwardly biased electrical conducting members rearwardly disposed in said socket, a reflector disposed in the forward interior portion of said housing, said reflector including a tubularrearwardly extending extension that has an interior surface and is slidably mounted on said socket, manually operated means for adjustably moving said reflector longitudinally relative to said socket, a self centering lamp for use with said miners headpiece, said lamp including:
a. a cylindrical base having a forward and rearward end, said base including at least one electrical conducting filament supported forwardly thereof, and a plurality of electrical contact terminals electrically connected to said filament and inengagement with said electrical conducting members when said base is disposed in said socket;
b. a cylindrical bushing that encircles said bore adjacent said forward end and snuggly and slidably engages said interior surface of said reflector extension, said bushing of sufficient width that said base will not pivot relative to saidextension; and
c. a transparent rigid envelope that extends forwardly from said base, said envelop of sufficient length that said forwardly biased electrical conducting members will maintain the forward extremity of said envelope in pressure contact with saidlens to at all times maintain said lamp in a centered position relative to said reflector.
2. A self centering lamp as defined in clam 1 in which said envelop has a convex forward end that pressure contacts a centered cavity in said lens to assist said cylindrical bushing in maintaining said lamp in said centered position relative tosaid reflector.
3. A self centering lamp as defined in claim 1 in which said envelope is tubular in shape.
The conventional prior art mine lamp does not center in the head piece supported on the miners helmet. This off centering is due to the base of the lamp loosely engaging the socket and permitting the lamp to pivot laterally relative to thelatter. The light pattern from such an off centered lamp is not properly collimated and a light spot of maximum intensity is not obtained.
When the lamp is off centered in a head piece the miner has but two alternatives, he may either strike the head piece and hope that the lamp will return to a centered position, or use the lamp with it producing less than a desirable spot.
A major object of the present invention is to provide an improved miners lamp in which a cylindrical bushing of increased diameter encircles the base of the lamp to slidably and snuggly engage the interior surface of a cylindrical extension ofthe reflector and by so doing maintain the lamp on a centered position relative to the reflector both when the reflector is stationary and when being adjustably moved relative to the lamp.
A further object of the invention is to supply a miners lamp in which the transparent envelope has a free convex end portion of small radius that pressure contacts a centered dimple on the interior surface of the lens of the head piece to furtherassist the base in maintaining the lamp in a centered position relative to the reflector of the head piece.
Yet another object of the invention is to supply a self centering lamp that may be used in a conventional miners head piece without substantial alteration thereto.
A still further object of the invention is to furnish an improved miners lamp in which both the base and envelope thereof cooperate to maintain it in a centered position in a miners head piece.
An improved miners lamp of the type that includes a cylindrical base and envelope in which the base supports a cylindrical bushing of increased diameter that slidably and snuggly engages the interior surface of a cylindrical extension of thereflector and the envelop has a free convex end portion that may pressure contact a centered dimple on the interior surface of the lens of the head piece to maintain the lamp at a centered position relative to the reflector, both when the reflector isstationary, as well as when the reflector is being adjustably moved relative to the lamp. Due to the lamp being at all times in a centered position relative to the reflector, a collimated beam of light is emitted from the head piece to produce a spot ofmaximum intensity.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a miners head piece in which the self centering lamp of the present invention is disposed;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the self centering lamp;
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the head piece with the lamp occupying a centered position therein;
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross sectional view of the head piece taken on the line 4--4 of FIG. 3 and illustrating the lamp in a centered position in the head piece; and
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary cross sectional view of the head piece taken on the line 5--5 of FIG. 4.
The improved lamp A of the present invention is illustrated as being used in a conventional head piece B adapted to be secured to an underground miners helmet (not shown).
The head piece includes a housing 10 of a polymerized resin or like material, which housing includes a back wall 12 from which a cylindrical shell 14 extends forwardly. The shell 14 has external threads 14a on the forward portion thereof. Aretaining ring 16 is provided that has interior threads 16a thereon that engage threads 14a. The retaining ring includes a circular inwardly extending lip 16b.
The lip 16b engages the outer peripheral portion of a circular lens C and holds the latter in abutting contact with a resilient ring 18 that abuts against the forward edge surface of shell 14. The lens C has a dimple 20 formed in the center ofthe inner surface 22 thereof.
First and second elongate supports 24 and 26 extend forwardly in spaced relationship from the back wall 12 and have first and second elongate resilient electrical conducting members 24a and 26a mounted thereon as shown in FIG. 4.
A socket D is provided that is defined by a metallic tubular member 28 that has an outwardly extending flange on the rearward end thereof through which screws 32 extend to engage back wall 12. Tubular member 28 has a pair of elongate slots 34therein that are parallel and extend rearward from the forward end of the tubular member. The tubular member 28 has a pair of oppositely disposed openings 36 therein through which the members 24a and 26a extend into the rearward interior of the socketD.
A compressed helical spring 38 is disposed longitudinally in the rear portion of socket D as shown in FIG. 4, with a rear end of the spring abutting against the back wall 12 and the forward end of the spring urging a generally cylindrical shapedforce exerting member forwardly in the socket D.
A light reflector E forms a part of head piece B. The reflector E includes a silvered rearwardly and inwardly extending shell 42 that on the rearward end develops into a cylindrical extension 42a that is slidably mounted on the socket D.
The head piece B as may be seen in FIG. 1 includes a manually operated adjustment button 44 that may be used to rotate a shaft 43 that is supported in housing 12, and which shaft has a pin 43a projecting from the free end thereof.
The pin 43a engages an elongate slot 45 defined in a web 46 secured to reflector shell 42 and extension 42a, with the shaft 43 when rotated moving the reflector E longitudinally relative to the socket D.
The lamp A includes a cylindrical metallic base 48 that has a rear end surface 48a and two oppositely disposed guide pins 48b that slidably engage the slots 34 as shown in FIG. 4. A transparent narrow tubular envelope 50 extends forwardly fromthe base 48 and terminates in a convex end 50a that pressure contacts the dimple 20. The envelop 50 is illustrated as having first and second filaments 52 and 52a supported therein.
First and second electrical conducting contact terminals 54 and 56 that are insulated from one another project from the rear end 48a and by electrical conducting means (not shown) in the base 48 are connected to the first filament 52. The secondfilament 52a may be supplied electric power through the metallic base 48 and the second contact terminal 56 which has a common conductor (not shown) extending therefrom. When the first filament 52 burns out the second filament 52a may be used forillumination purposes.
The head piece B has an electric conducting cable F associated therewith that extends to a battery (not shown). The cable F has first, second and third electrical conductors 60, 62 and 64 therein the supply electricity to the first and secondmembers 24, 24a and base 48 as shown in FIG. 4. Should it be desired the lamp A could have but a single filament therein.
In FIG. 4 it will be seen that the cylindrical bushing 58 snuggly and slidably engages the interior surface of the reflector extension 42a. The spring 38 is at all times compressed and though the member 40 urges the free end portions of theresilient electrical conducting members 24a and 26a forwardly to maintain the convex end 50a of envelop 50 in pressure contact with dimple 20 that is centered in lens C. Due to this support for the lamp A, the lamp cannot move laterally as the reflectorE is adjusted longitudinally relative thereto by manually rotating the button 44.
From experience it has been found that the light output from the reflector E may be increased up to fifty percent by maintaining the lamp A in a true centered position relative thereto.
The bushing 58 is of sufficient width that when it is in slidable contact with the interior surface of the extension 42a, the lamp A will not tend to pivot laterally relative to the extension 42a.
The use and operation of the lamp A in a head piece B has been explained previously in detail and need not be repeated.

or do i need to get a grip/ sense of humour?
(40 Posts)Long story but i don't want to drip feed.
DGF (who is now dead) had a "secret family". He was married and had a teenage boy going to war. When he came back he didn't go back to them instead he pretended to be single and started a relationship with my DGM (she was 18, he was 36). eventually he got a divorce and married my DGM but the son and ex wife were swept under the carpet (when she died he wouldn't take son in, or admit his existence).
Anyway one of the son's children made contact with my gran (he was researching his family tree) and they have been talking. A meet up barbecue was arranged at DM's house.
So we are all getting to know each other, and he makes a few sexist (IMO) remarks but we just ignore them. My aunt then starts talking about her holiday in Amsterdam, saying that she felt a bit of a fool when someone had to tell her that the ladies in the windows were prostitutes. she said "well i saw a couple of pretty girls dancing in their bedrooms in bikinis and thought why do they not close the curtains?". At this point new half cousin (man in his 60's) turn round to my sister (early 30s and not very good english) "would you not consider a change of career then?". I was and rather mortified that he said this in front of my gran, his wife, etc...
The next morning at breakfast, my aunty asked if anyone else had felt uncomfortable. I said that yes, i'd heard a few things that i thought were beyond the pale. My DP and Uncle agreed with us.
Yesterday i get a phone call from mum saying what did you think of new family member and i heard that aunty said she heard some things. I said i also heard and recanted verbatim the exchanges. She said "well he was only joking!" in a YABDU tone.
Am i being to sensitive? is it acceptable banter? or is he in fact a bit of a twat?
(note he was driving his bike back so wasn't drinking)
In my family the comment you quoted would definitely be taken ingood humour as a joke but you havent said what the other things were so i cant really tell. If it was just that one thing then i wouldnt be annoyed if it was regular comments i would maybe be depending on what they were
Well there's not much you can do is there? Can't choose your family
I think they are strange jokes to be making unless you are sure that the audience will laugh it off. I wouldn't be impressed.
Without knowing the other remarks I would think he was trying to make a bit of a joke following on from your aunts funny story.
I imagine he was feeling pretty nervous, meeting you all for the first time, it's possible his mouth was on autopilot and his brain wasn't in full control.
I have a stellar talent for saying the most inappropriate thing possible when under stress.
I don't think YABU. I have NO patience for stupid, sexual jokes like that which demean women and I generally say something at the time. This lets people know that they shouldn't "joke" like that near me....if they continue to do so, then I have nothing to do with them.
Case in point is the Father of one of my DDs mates...he's a big, stupid sex pest who says "flirty" things to women he doesn't know...therefore we have nothing to do with him because he's tacky and creepy.
I suspect your new family member was far from his usual self. Meeting you all at the same time, trying desperately to fit in, crack jokes etc etc
I would attempt to get to know this poor guy a bit better before you start being quite so nasty about him.
he sounds a bit of a twat but harmless enough
imnotbloody14 there was quite a few references to women as "bitches" and one explaining what a "bitch pad" was. Oh and some enlightening conversation on the roles of women, namely about them being only good at cleaning and cooking and sleeping with (once they were of an acceptable physical standard for him)
soul sister you're right but i can avoid him though. . i was more pissed off at mum making out 4 of us were being utterly unreasonable,and party poopers.
I'd put it down to nerves and start again.
Every family has their own standards. There are some things that dp's family say that have me but their intentions are good, it's just a different background where different things are acceptable. Maybe he was nervous and in trying to be funny and break the ice kept saying the wrong thing or maybe he just says things like that because it is normal to him and not offensive in his culture. I really wouldn't be offended by his comments, if someone asked me if I wanted to change careers to be a prostitute I would just bluntly say no, given that he was joking in a certain context, I don't see the point in being offended.
Get to know him better before judging, if something does offend you, tell him, he's not a psychic, we can't know other peoples sensitivities when we don't know where they're coming from.
Yabu, I think, it was your family that started talking about the sex workers in Amsterdam, how would he know where your family draws the line in these things?
Give the poor guy a chance. After all, his father got a pretty raw deal from your grandfather and especially grandmother.
Oh, ok. He's a sexist arse. What the hell is a bitch pad? Something I get my dog to sleep on?
Ah in light of new info he is indeed a sexist fucker and i would have been removing myself from his presence after the first 'bitch' remark
Though having cross posted with your update, it doesn't sound as if you will have a lot in common.
Also cross posted.
He's a twat. Just avoid.
It is a good point that your relations brought up sex workers first. I would imagine he was nervous and looking to be funny.
That being said, it's also everyday sexism. I'd give him another chance, but I'd speak up if he said similar again.
not unreasonable - he sounds like a numpty and given time you'll probably get to hear worse than that. if you'd grown up with him around you'd be used to it and just do the teeth gritting and ideally a knowing eye contact exchange with someone on your wave length or you'd know how to smilingly, subtly put him in his place. as someone family but 'new' you haven't got that.
so as someone else said sadly you can't choose your family. i hear sexism, racism, homophobia and god knows what else from members of mine - some of whom don't even have the excuse of being in their 60's and abandoned by their father in infancy.
You don't need to get a sense of humour because what he said wasn't actually funny . The point here is do you like this man enough to take the relationship further ,if not just keep him at arms length . Personally I find people who research family trees and then contact distant relatives that they never knew about extremely odd ,but that's just my opinion . I'm quite happy with the family I have without trying to dig more out of the woodwork ,apart from relatives what do you have in common with this man ? Would he be someone you would be friends with under different circumstances ?
In my family we all love a bit of banter and understand dark humour but some people just take everything really super literally and you just can't tell them those sorts of jokes you just have to play to your audience really.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
I just want to point out that i am absolutely digusted and appalled at what my grandfather did to this man's father. It was absolutely inexcusable.
But surely calling women bitches and stating they are basically for cooking, cleaning and sex is overtly sexist??
I was going with the whole, a bit nervous, your aunt started to conversation idea, until she updated with the rest of the sexist stuff.
People find different things funny its like what you fear soldiers laughing about it would make your toes curl.
Horrible, sexist, inappropriate ass-hat. I would avoid completely.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Munnes Early OriginsThe surname Munnes was first found in Kent where they held a family seat at Maidstone in that shire. They were descended from Guillaume (William) de Moyon a Norman Baron whose seat was at the castle of Moion, near St. Lo in Normandy. [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. William de Moyon received large grants of land in Somerset, the Lordship of Clehangre in Devon, and Sutton in Wiltshire. He also had grants in Kent. From William was descended the first Earl of Somerset, the Earls of Dorset and the Barons of Okehampton. "At the period of the Conquest, this town [now called Minehead], then called Manheved, was given by William [the Conqueror] to William de Mohun." [2]CITATION[CLOSE] Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. Although the main stem of this very noble Norman family retained the various spellings of Munn or Munns, junior lines adopted the name Munson or Munnings. The same William de Mohun (Moyon) held estates in Dunster, Somerset. " The town, which is called Torre in Domesday Book, owes its origin to a baronial castle built here by William de Mohun, a Norman Baron, on whom the Conqueror had bestowed large estates in this part of the kingdom. The castle, which was held by the family of Mohun till the reign of Edward III., was the scene of hostilities in the civil wars of the reigns of Stephen and John, and in the contests between the houses of York and Lancaster; the Marquess of Hertford, also, took possession of it for Charles I. during the war with the parliament." [2]CITATION[CLOSE] Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. Munnes Spelling VariationsMunnes Spelling VariationsMultitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Moyon, Moion, Mohun, Moyne, Munn, Munns, Munson, Munton, Mwn, Mun, Munds, Mouns, Muns, Munnes, Munnson, Munnsen, Munning and many more. Munnes Early HistoryMunnes Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Munnes research. Another 275 words (20 lines of text) covering the years 1390, 1603, 1642, 1625, 1626, 1595, 1641, 1620, 1665, 1616, 1684, 1571, 1641, 1645, 1692, 1681, 1685, 1689, 1690 and are included under the topic Early Munnes History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.

Another 56 words (4 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Munnes Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. Munnes In IrelandMunnes In IrelandSome of the Munnes family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 101 words (7 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible. The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationBecause of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, travelling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Munnes or a variant listed above: Munnes Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

text: The Coming Decade In 3D, HD TelevisionJack Loftus1/03/10 10:00amFiled to: 3DHDTV3d hdtvTelevisionPredictionsRumorsDirectTVTV3D Glasses175EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Ready or not, 3D HDTV is going to take the television scene by storm in the coming decade, at least according to our buddies over at HDGuru. Here's why they think the future is more Avatar than anything else: Advertisement First, even though manufacturers might be rushing things, considering their last lovechild, Blu-Ray discs, hasn't really taken anything by a storm, let alone a slight tropical depression, there are some consumer-friendly caveats to consider before grinding those teeth in anger.Take price, for example. HDGuru predicts set prices will be largely in line with current HDTV offerings. Initial pricing for a 40-inch 3D-ready 240Hz LED LCD will check in at about $1300, whereas a similar non-3D set from Samsung is currently for sale is $1,250.The other elephant in the room, as least when it came to HD, is programming. While full-time HD programming has been around since HD Net launched in September 2001, it took until the end of the decade before this particular TV watcher could safely say all he watches on TV anymore are HD-only channels. Luckily—if you like where 3D is going anyway—that shouldn't be a problem for 3D in the 2010s. HDGuru assures us that the influx of PS3s on the market, coupled with 50 DirectTV 3D channels before the end of 2010, will ensure there's ample 3D TV available for the new sets that Sony, et al, will demand you buy for the best viewing experience. Sports, the original driver of HD content, will also come into play here, no pun intended. As for HDTVs, 3D aside, the future is unsurprisingly cheaper, thinner and more portable. That's kind of how tech works, and beyond 2010 you can expect to see an influx of thin, LED edge-lit TVs that go larger than 60-inches. On the opposite end of the spectrum, expect more Zunes. That is, "Zune" in the sense that portables sporting HD visuals will become ubiquitous—who knows what fate will befall Microsoft's shiny player.Lastly, this one's for Mark Wilson, who got headaches watching a great Avatar flick in 3D: HD glasses might eventually become unnecessary. At an expected $70 a pair, they won't be missed, but this prediction may take a while and will arrive first in the form of a single-viewer laptop at the end of 2010. Again, predictions all. Nothing firm, but nothing too unbelievable either. There are more at HDGuru to parse and dissect and flame. Why don't you leave a few of your own in the comments?

text: Leatherman Made a Multi-Tool For Younger Outdoor EnthusiastsAndrew Liszewski6/04/14 5:40pmFiled to: ToolsLeathermanLeap61EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink There's no wrong age to start teaching kids a little responsibility, but Leatherman's new Leap, a multi-tool specifically designer for users with smaller hands, is probably best suited to youngsters who've already mastered a knife and fork, and certainly know not to run with scissors. Advertisement Available sometime this summer for $54, Leatherman is leaving it up to parents to decide when they think their kids are ready for such a tool. But with a smaller and lighter form factor, the Leap is safer and easier for young'ns to use than Leatherman's standard offerings.But to make things even safer, the Leap's knife blade attachment comes separated from the rest of the multi-tool, and can only be installed when parents believe a child is old enough, or responsible enough, to safely use it. That being said, this obviously isn't baby's first multi-tool, so it's probably best to take it off the wish list for your baby shower. [Leatherman via GearJunkie]Reply6 repliesLeave a reply

The past year has seen a boom in men's custom luxury items, with nearly every brand now offering something in the name of made-to-order, made-to-measure or bespoke. Sales have reflected the change too: The men's luxury-goods market is now outperforming women's in all categories. Perhaps it is the inherent nature of men's dressing that makes custom pieces more appealing, as it's almost always less about trends and more about quality, craftsmanship and, above all, personal style. "Men like to be involved in the process," says Todd Barrato, CEO of Brioni North America, "but they also like handmade items that have a consistent and perfect fit." Here, a look at the best of the new custom options.

Last October 6, I went to GMA Network Center as guest for the program News To Go. The assigned topic was "social media reactions received in relation to the iPhone 4s launch" that happened last October 4 in the U.S.. While on the road, the AM radio program anchor (Noli De Castro - I think) said Steve Jobs died already. I immediately checked Twitter and read the outpour of condolence messages.
While waiting for the interview at GMA, the coordinator told me there's a change of topic. It will be focused on Steve Jobs.
It made me reflect at what point did he really made a difference in my life. My first encounter with an Apple computer was at Datamex computer school. I was studying Wordstar, BASIC, COBOL, Visicalc, and Dbase II then. Can't recall which Apple model it was anymore. Got the chance to own a Newton as well but I guess it was too advance at that time.
In 1997, while organizing the Philippine Internet Commerce Society, the "Crazy Ones" video came out shown at the iMac launch (also known as Think Different campaign). At that same event, Eric Clapton's song "Change the World" was played too complimenting the machine introduction. My whole e-commerce advocacy then took a different level of perspective. I reflect and thought - if I do this right, I will change the Philippines Internet industry by making e-commerce a reality.
So that campaign did not made me buy a Mac - but it inspired me further to be determined with the Philippine Internet Commerce Society cause. When the E-Commerce Law was eventually passed, industry peers were teasing me as "Erin Brokovich". In times of joy and pain, until now, the "Crazy Ones - Think Different" script and lyrics of "Change The World" often resonates with how I feel at a moment. (that is also when I realized that it was partly a very sad song)
In 2010, I decided to get a MacBook Pro especially when the payment terms became more friendly to folks like me. Also got an iPhone 4.
With new features promised with the iPhone 4s, I know it is a must have gadget - even for the simplest reason - to own Steve Jobs last full product creation and honor the person who has inspired a lot of people around the world.
I only hope that Globe Telecom's SuperSurf packages for prepaid will include the monthly one (SuperSurf999). Similar to their BlackBerry where BBMax599 is good for a month already.
Also, the tethering features, please turn it on by default. I now own a Samsung Galaxy S2 and enjoying its tethering features at times when I need it the most. Hope that can be allowed for both iPhone and BlackBerry (Playbook).
I look forward to the launch and fall in line to get my unit soon. :)

Our History
The Matador Restaurant In the early 50's, Raymond Tejada, Sr. and his father, Alfred opened a small diner on Van Born Road in Taylor and called it the Matador Drive-In. Mexican food wasn't popular at the time, but the Tejadas started the Matador Drive-In with their own family recipes for tamales, enchiladas, tacos and tostadas. The rest of their fare was American. The original building including kitchen and dining area is now the main dining room, north of the brick arches (you can see a picture of Al & Sandy and Ray & Margaret in the reception area). The Matador did mostly carryouts because the dining room could only handle a dozen customers...

Come On Ladies! Try Not to Mob Young Hollywood Hotties!
But "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner has it even worse. At the film's press event in Paris Tuesday night, Lautner said, "I've had women in their 40s come up to me and ask if I can sign their underwear! The moms are crazier than the daughters, going: 'Taylor, I'm wearing your Team Taylor panties, can you sign 'em?'"
How embarrassing is that?

The year 2008 brought a lot of change to my life. Building a new house, starting school, and just not having a chance to really make anything for my koscraps4u.ca website. It was mostly then I think I decided to stop making things to sell. I want to make things to give and for myself rather than to sell.
I actually don't remember scrapbooking anything in 2008, but I did take some pictures that I can scrapbook in the future!

I remember WAYYY back when that site was a storage area for Mintons Lumber. Putting up a Social Services building on that site was a good move that helped and still helps countless people. Destroying that resource to make a stack of tiny apartments only helps a few people... Namely, helping put money in developers pockets (and maybe a few other people...?).
The corner of very busy Moffett Blvd. and VERY, VERY busy Central Expressway is hardly a smart, suitable or safe location for cramming 128 new homes... and possibly as many children. And the traffic of all those "bread winners" coming and going, especially during commute hours will clog Moffett even worse than the sorry state it gets now, which will then result in more cars taking Sterling and the nearby cross-streets (Jackson St.& Central Ave.), increasing traffic in those residential areas too.
If the site HAS to change, then make it retail or something else of benefit to all town folk, if not all valley folk.
That's a silly place for housing. SURE people can make more money building homes there instead of stores, but let's use some common sense and consider the long term case. It's right next to downtown, so put something useful to ALL Mountain View residents there (no more restaurants please!). And don't change a thing at the current location until a suitable replacement site for the social Services offices is found with 1/4 mile of the current site. Telling the poor and/or unfortunate to "Hike it to San Jose" is inhumane and unacceptable.

@robert - Thanks for bringing back this article from 2011. Reading it again is instructive. Here's how has it turned out, 2 1/2 years later:
Social Services is gone. Fairfield Residential eventually bailed on the project. A different developer (Prometheus) has received approval to build not 128, but 184 units at this site, now known as the 100 Moffett project. The City Council closed part of a road and sold it to the developer. The new apartments will rent for up to $8,000/month for a 2-BR unit. Planning and City Council approved a plan with grossly inadequate parking, saving money for the developer and enabling them to build more densely. A prominent rationalization from Council, and from our new mayor, was that the "new generation" doesn't want to drive cars, and will ride bikes.
Steve's comments from 2011 are absolutely relevant today.
This November we will be voting for three new Council members, to replace three who will be termed out. We need to pay very, very close attention to who we elect.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Everybody is talking about the New York Post cover photo showing Ki Suk Han about to be killed by the subway train, but the real story here is yet again being ignored by the mainstream media. The real story here is that Naeem Davis is clearly a devout Muslim, and one who displayed behavior characteristic of jihadis after he committed murder.
"Fight them! Allah will chastise them at your hands, and He will lay them low and give you victory over them, and He will heal the breasts of folk who are believers. And He will remove the anger of their hearts." -- Qur'an 9:14-15
Naeem Davis, a Muslim immigrant from Sierra Leone sporting a pious Muslim beard, seemed "very calm, not crazy," after he murdered Ki Suk Han. As is typical of jihadis, he blamed his victim, making up the preposterous story that this man nearly twice his age attacked him.

#23366 closed defect (bug) (worksforme)
Visual content editor "separator" and "|" icons/spacing
Reported by: | josh401 | Owned by: | |
Milestone: | Priority: | normal | |
Severity: | normal | Version: | 3.5 |
Component: | Editor | Keywords: | |
Focuses: | Cc: |
This ticket is somewhat directed toward @azaozz, as I know he is very familiar with the tinymce content editor.
It seems in the latest version 3.5.1, the separator is no longer working in the visual content editor. The same goes for the "|" symbol. This can be seen using either Andrew's Tinymce Advanced plugin, or my Ultimate Tinymce plugin. Additionally, using Andrew's Advanced Configuration plugin, it appears the separators are no longer working.
I just noticed this issue, however I noticed extensive changes were made in WP 3.5 on the content editor. I would guess with 99% certainty this issue is also in 3.5. I know this was not an issue with WP 3.4.2.
A note perhaps worth mentioning is the spacers do still appear to work on the tinymce site:
Is this maybe a "cost" of using the new visual interface?
Thank you.
Change History (6)

- Cc azaozz added
- Component changed from TinyMCE to Editor
- Version changed from 3.5.1 to 3.5
In 3.5 we decided to strip out separators. I think this was done by simply disabling them, rather than removing them from the core button definitions.

Thanks Andrew,
Were there any factors which affected performance? Is it possible we might see separators return in a near-future release?
Having developed a few plugins centered around the tinymce content editor, I have developed quite a following of WP users. There have been a few which have noticed this spacing removal. I would be grateful for any information I can use to pass along to them. Thank you.

Replying to josh401:
Thanks Andrew,
Were there any factors which affected performance? Is it possible we might see separators return in a near-future release?
The consideration was both UI and UX. Separators (as they were used in core) did not seem to help users, especially after the design change (dropping borders to make the screen feel lighter) made them non-obvious. It looked like buttons were simply aligned terribly, rather than being deliberately broken into groups. That ticket was #15986.

especially after the design change (dropping borders to make the screen feel lighter) made them non-obvious.
I completely understand, and appreciate you taking the time to find that thread. I guess I'm on the other side of the fence, since I did view them as a benefit to the layout. However, I did not get a chance to view them under the new UI.
I suppose this is resolved, however I would certainly not be opposed to reopening the discussion regarding the benefits of separators.
Again, thank you for your time.

- Milestone Awaiting Review deleted
- Resolution set to worksforme
- Status changed from new to closed
Yes, as @nacin stated above in the new toolbar design the separators were looking out of place. They are disabled in the css and removed from the default buttons definitions. It is quite easy to re-enable them, however the buttons would look misaligned.

(Thomson Reuters ONE via COMTEX) -- New database addresses growing challenges in global tax compliance for multinationals
In response to the growing number of transfer pricing rules and reporting requirements established by tax authorities around the world, Thomson Reuters announces the new Worldwide Private Company Database from ONESOURCE Transfer Pricing.
This new database, designed specifically for transfer pricing professionals, provides the transparent, detailed data global firms need to defend themselves in today's complex tax environment.
Transfer pricing is one of the most significant issues global organizations and tax authorities face. Audits are on the rise, and the cost of noncompliance is both financial and reputational. Add the fact that the average audit takes 540 days, and the magnitude of transfer pricing risks becomes clear.
As tax authorities introduce additional rules and require corporations to provide detailed documentation to defend their strategies, multinationals must be certain they meet the requirements of the arm's length standard - and provide the documentation to prove it. This new product from Thomson Reuters addresses this challenge.
"Tax authorities are no longer satisfied with weak documentation and comparables that don't take local trade into account," said Joe Harpaz, managing director of corporate tax for the Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters. "Governments are demanding clear documentation with regional comparables to support transfer pricing methods."
By building relationships with tax authorities, corporations, and service providers, Thomson Reuters has identified the information transfer pricing professionals need to reduce risk and comply with global transfer pricing regulations.
This new tool provides private company information compiled from a global network of local data providers - and delivers country-specific financial data and standardized financial line-items for complete transparency on how the data should be applied. This fills comparables gaps in regions where public data is limited and allows users to drill into the original data source for clarity and transparency. This kind of data is a key component of reducing risk and avoiding an extended audit.
"Using public local data is challenging in these markets, as there are only a limited number of public records available," said Brian Tully, vice president and head of transfer pricing for ONESOURCE at Thomson Reuters. Finding a good comparables set is critical to achieving the highest level of practical comparability."

Gruntz Profile Cards - Grandma, K'lik Alien Bounty Hunter, and 8-wheel MICV
3 comments:
Hi, Mr. H. These cards are very well designed and executed and should be very useful during a game.
I haven't a clue about the ins-and-outs of Gruntz... shoot, I have enuff excitement and high blood pressure trying to understand my own rule-sets! That being said, you are definitely providing a great tool for the enhancement of a player's game enjoyment! IMHO.

From fauna Aug 3, 2009 0 Facebook Tweet Email My favorite member. He has been nothing but nice to me and is always there when I need him, for anything. My SG experience wouldn't have been the same with out him. I'm so glad we met.
From kelseybee Jul 21, 2008 0 Facebook Tweet Email minimalism is one of the best blessings in my life this year - such a joy to be around and interact with. I'm really glad to be making a great friend here
From _pie_ Mar 21, 2008 0 Facebook Tweet Email He is one of the most genuine and caring people I have ever met. A great friend, and an awesome guy. He certainly makes my life better just by being in it, and I would not want to imagine my world without him! :-)
From katerina Dec 5, 2006 0 Facebook Tweet Email one of the coolest dudes to party with...ever. not to mention hes just a really great guy all around =)
From fatality Oct 15, 2005 0 Facebook Tweet Email I feel slightly awkward posting after Fenny, but... I probably wouldn't be an SG without the encouragement and support of minimalism. But being an SG's not everything, so... Besides that, he has repeatedly, repeatedly proven himself to be one of the kindest people that I have met on this site - and fun too! Thanks for being around.
From fenchurch Mar 6, 2005 0 Facebook Tweet Email I believe it was a really shitty movie that once touched upon the subject of how rare it is to find people who actually listen to what you have to say instead of just waiting for their turn to speak (or pointing out cool truck rims in the middle of somber discussions). Tom is certainly one of the these people (the listeners, not the rim-pointers). (Rim-pointer sounds dirty. Ha.) He is also one of the most thoughtful people whose dishes I've had the privilege of washing, or whose freshly flamed vodka sauce I've had the pleasure of eating. And word on the street is he takes lucky ladies on some of the finest dates this side of a helicopter. He's an considerate, intelligent, insightful human being. Nuff said.
From derceto Jan 3, 2005 0 Facebook Tweet Email what can i say about this guy? i have been to events all over with him, from NYC, to NJ, to Boston... and this guy rules. a good travel companion, and a good friend. he is a credit to SG

Chapter 5: Being a Cool Guy Chapter 6: How He Plans Things Good Chapter 7: He Likes Joy Division; Therefore He is Cool Chapter 8: Talking to Ladies Chapter 9: Heartbreak Chapter 13: His Role in that Whole Iran-Contra thing Chapter 14: Making Fun of Pip Chapter 19: Conclusions, Afterthoughts (stories from people he's touched -- not literally -- well, some will be literally). *** but seriously, he invited me to my first event and he's become a great friend, the highest recommendation i could give for this site is people like tom.

Eyeglass cleaner. If you're out when you realize your glasses or purse mirror need cleaning, try using a drop of hand sanitizer. It will give you crystal-clear results instantly. This works great on glass but should be tested on plastic.

Kitchen helper. I work full time, so before I leave my house in the morning, I set up my slow cooker and plug it into a timer. Most days, I cook for just two, preparing a couple of pork chops or chicken. With the timer, I start the cooking at noon on low and end it at 5:30 when I get home, avoiding the need to cook for 10 hours. It is important to make sure the timer is set correctly. In the morning, the meat goes in frozen, so there is no need to worry about it sitting out until noon. It's so nice to come home to a hot meal.
— Linda
Brush holder. When I redid my bathroom, I took the old toothbrush holder, ran it through the dishwasher and now use it to hold my makeup brushes on the counter. The brushes fit nicely, are neatly organized and are ready for me to use.
— Robin
Claw backs. I have lace curtains I sometimes like to pull back. I use those tiny "claw" hair clips with the teeth that you pinch to open. They're less than an inch long and clear. I pull the curtain to the desired position and clip it back. When I want to close the lace curtain, I gently remove the clip and clip it onto the outside edge of the curtain so it's there whenever I need it. These clips work great, and they're virtually invisible.
— Bonnie B.
Write on, wipe off. I am always thinking of things I need to do or buy while I'm in the bathroom getting ready for the day. But keeping a notepad in a room with so much moisture doesn't work well. Instead, I use a wipe-off marker right on the mirror. I jot quick notes as I think of them. Then, when I'm ready to go, I transfer all my notes to paper and wipe them off the mirror. This routine keeps me from getting frustrated about not remembering something, and it keeps the mirror clean, too!
— Leanne
Well-heeled. No one in my house likes the "heel" ends of a loaf of bread. Instead of throwing them out or into back yard for the birds, we let them sit out on the counter and get stale. Then, we save them to use for breadcrumbs, stuffing or croutons. For croutons, I cube the stale bread and toss it in a frying pan with a little olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Once they are coated and heated through, I toss them with Parmesan cheese and use them on a Caesar salad.

Gift the shelter. Wondering what to do with all of your old towels and linens? Check your local animal shelter. Most are in need of old towels, worn throw rugs, bedspreads and any other soft washable materials for animal bedding.

Great point. As long as everyone has nothing much more than a cold, ear infection, small cut, or basic sore throat that system will work great.
Great point. As long as everyone has nothing much more than a cold, ear infection, small cut, or basic sore throat that system will work great.
For those kneeling at the feet of Sam Walton, it should be pointed out that the success of Wally World came at a huge cost to what has always been considered the backbone of American capitalism, the small business and businessman. Look at the damage caused to small towns across America in the downtown districts. Wal Marts success came at a high cost to many fine Americans who were able to provid for their families w/o goverment help.

Never trust a dog to watch your food!
I can tell you from living in Alaska in the early '80s (till 2003), most up there were thrilled when we finally got K-Mart and Wal-Mart. Shipping costs in those days were outrageous and the local merchants always blamed shipping costs for their extremely high prices on everything. Most of that was true, but there was a certain amount of gouging going on as well. The day Wal-Mart and k-Mart hit town, prices started dropping for the everyday goods people need. Over time, many of the local businesses learned to compete by specializing in certain products or niche markets. Some went away. But I would bet if you asked the average long time Alaskan, the big box stores have made life easier up there for the most part.

And if the Feds take over Healthcare they will do to that vertical market what WalMart is accused of doing to thiers.
Undercutting prices and not answering for profit, the Feds will destroy 1/6th of the free market in the US economy.

Nothing about any bill presented as part of the health insurance reform debate has involved any Federal takeover of health care whatsoever. No one has proposed a system resembling those of either Canada or the UK. None of the bills has proposed removing insurance companies from the insurance business. In fact, any of the bills would end up in the insurance companies receiving more business. I would love to see quotes from actual proposed bills or even formal bill summaries that say otherwise.
Wal mart treats there employees poorly. Not only do we as shoppers pay for the products so they can make a profit, but we also pay for the Walmart health care plan through medicare.
Walmart hands out public assistance info packets at orientation for new employees. They do offer their own health care, they just make it so expensive and pay so little the employees also have no choice but to go the public help route.
They also make employees work overtime without compensation or they will be fired. There is or just was a legal case dealing with millions of dollars of owed overtime issues.
I for one do not want anyone associated with walmart in charge of anything in my life. I try to not shop there but they have such a monopoly that most people do not have any choice, yet the government does not do anything about it. They have busted up At&t and tried Microsoft but no talk about walmart.
You need to look at the documentary about this called "Walmart the high cost of business" I believe it is. Will make you furious at how they treat people.

Wiring my 230v compressor......
First off I am no electrician! So I recently bought a 60 gallon 6.5hrs for cheap, I planned on running a small extension chord to my dryer outlet. The compressor has 2-14 gauge wires coming off of it white and a black, I was wondering if it would be alright to hook my 8 gauge wires to the 14g with wire nuts? does this make sense?
Sponsored Links | |||
Welcome PairOf69's,
220V should have 3 wires coming off of it. As you need two hot and one ground to supply you with 220V. What is the AMP rating of the compressor? usually 15 to 17 Amps Dryer plug is what 30Amp maybe 40Amp? If you have a problem with the motor you will not trip the breaker until it's too late. Last edited by 58Chev; 11-17-2005 at 08:30 AM. |
a compressor of the size you have likely draws 15-17amps, but calls for a 30A breaker due to startup load. I wouldn't mix and match wires. There are a lot of variables here..like how far is the run of wire, is the run going to be ouside, etc. How far is your breaker panel from the compressor site? Why not just wire it direct? That way you don't have to worry about the drying, plug, etc.
- Drew |
IMO that is not a 230 volt compressor. If I read it right you said it had 2/14ga wires coming from it. That usually means 120vt @ 15 amps. Check out the plate on the motor and see what it says for volts and amps. If not too sure call an electrician. If you hook it up to the dryer outlet you could get some serious smokin' happenin'. With a 40 amp breaker its gonna do some damage before it blows. Good Luck and be safe. Afros are out!!!
yeah, I agree. For max 30A, #10 wire is needed. It would fry #14 under a high load situation.
Most 220 volt compressor motors have three wires..a red, a black , and a green. The red and the back are both hot (110 each) and the green is the ground. If your motor just has two 14 guage wires a white and a black, I would think it was a 110 instead of a 220. In any event you need to check and make sure before you try to hook it up.
Doc here,
2 wire 14 gauge IS defiantly NOT 230 VAC... Black and white are Neutral = white Black= 110 vac, and you must add a ground. 230 VAC in the make up box will look like this BLACK=110 RED=110 (DIFFERENT LEG) WHITE=NEUTRAL=NEUTRAL BUSS, GREEN=GROUND BUSS... Pull the make up box on the compressor / motor and look at the inside cover plate, most usually have a diagram for 230 vac and 110 vac wiring on it. I assume the compressor may be wired either way..230/110.. The Plug you need (Wall and cord) is akin to a large window a/c unit..has 3 blades at a 45 (or so) degree angle..this is a 110 / 30 /40 or 50 amp plug..A standard 2 prong / ground plug is only 20 amps max, 15 usual.. You will also have to check or upgrade the romex going to that plug for proper gauge..and of course be sure the reset breaker is up to par with the load. Doc

I would eagerly accept Eddies quiver suggestion with a limit on quiver slots anywhere 35+ or Timo's suggestion of only one quiver with a 99 arrow capacity. However, I'd really really like the same behavior to appear in the home...
Right now putting in a home quiver is silly powerful. But if slot size was 35 or even 50, it wouldn't make *that* much difference. |

My opinion: the idea of the quiver is to allow the player to hold multiple small stacks of arrows, e.g. the half-dozen or so slay undead arrows leftover after killing the Witch King or whatever. To that end, I think that the quiver should only hold a total number of missiles equal to one inventory slot (right now 99, but maybe less in the future). There should be no "expansion": you get max one quiver (only) and it occupies max one inventory slot (only). The number of slots in the quiver itself isn't too much of an issue as long as the total capacity of the quiver is restricted. To serve what I see as it's intended function, more slots is better, so I like 10 more than 5. But 5 is certainly workable.
As for generically reducing slot capacity from 99 to (say) 50: its darn rare for me to be carrying more than 50 of anything other than missiles. (Usually (+0,+0), although after getting Tenser's I've been known to carry a lot of (+9,+9) branded missiles.) I don't think it would affect me at all, and is probably a good thing to reduce abuse. But I frankly don't consider it to be a big deal either way. |

My thoughts:
slot size 50 - definitely could live with it. Applies to quiver "slots" too. Thing is though ... I would not really lose anything by it, so it would be a moot change (I use archery so little, with any char, as I for some reason dislike ranger at the moment with the extra shots class ability so much I haven't played one for ages). slot size 20 - would change some for me. I very very rarely carry anything over 15, id scrolls and sometimes ccw come in mind, and definitely for final fights if needed. Since I feel the max should be the same for both "quiver slots" and normal slots, I would feel this is bit too low slot size 30-40 - probably the compromise size for me. 30 would sometimes matter. It would also definitely matter for final fights a bit, no more stacks of "infinite" ccw unless sacrifice some more slots. For quiver ... sounds okayish, but then again I am an archery deviant and don't really use it (have a *slay undead* crossbow randart with my pally now, tempted to use it on undead uniques ). So, 30-40 would prolly be a nice point in my opinion. |

I don't really see this as "expansion" so much as being more friendly. |

If you have more avg arrows than fit into a slot, they go into two slots. E.g. if you carry 140 arrows currently, they automatically merge to use 2 pack slots even if you pick them up 20 at a time. I view the quiver as simply meaning that all ammo can merge, instead of requiring the same sval/tval/ego/plusses. So how ever many slots are taken up using X average arrows, the quiver allows any combination of up to 10 types of ammo cumulatively counting X to fit into the same number of slots as the average arrows would take up.
From this point of view quiver "expansion" is equally as natural as 140 avg arrows currently using 2 slots given the current max slot size of 99. |

I tend to agree with bron on this one: the quiver should have a maximum capacity, somewhere in the neighborhood of 150. (That's a generous estimate of the number of arrows that you can pack (with hexagonal packing) into an actual 6" quiver. It's also a reasonable estimate of the number of arrows it takes to kill Morgoth.)
(I would set it at a round number of pack slots, so if pack slots have a max of 99, use 198. If pack slots have a max of 75 or 30, use 150.) Alternatively, you can use an UnAngband like model: you have a single "bag" in which you can keep a set of 5 object types and up to (say) 100 objects, each of 0.5 lb or less. (ie: scrolls, potions, jewelry, and ammo.) This means you can always carry a few scrolls and potions of choice, but you can't carry a crazy excess of ammo. The details of how many objects in the "quiver" correspond to a single pack slot is left as an exercise for the beta tester. |

But while I think the proposal is good, I also think that it is essentially an attempt to tweak something that has more fundamental problems. It would be better to figure out what's going to be done to nerf archery first, and then try to tweak that. But since that is a longer and more difficult road, this might be a reasonable interim thing. |

Any plans for the home to work in the same way as the quiver?

I'm in favor of an unlimited home, but I would not be surprised by a consensus against a home quiver based on peripherally related comments I've read in the past.
There is also a development issue involving a home quiver. The strange noun-verb inversion in stores means that the number chars '0' through '9' are already being used. While it is possible to make use of letters 'C' and above, that's the sort of extra special casing that will make things take longer, and developers may prefer to put off even considering it until after the next time stores are redone. |

I don't know what I think about expanding the home - I can think of arguments both ways. To help my thinking, can someone explain why we should expand the home but not the pack? |
