Tructyre have now relocated their warehouse hub and distribution centre to a new facility based in Eastleigh.
The original Winchester warehouse served Tructyre's needs for 18 years, however, continuing business growth and the desire to stock a wider range of tyre types and sizes meant a larger premises was required. The new Eastleigh facility boasts 15,000 sq ft of warehouse and office space.
Efficiency and space are maximised thanks to a bespoke narrow aisle racking system capable of storing up to 5,000 commercial vehicle tyres. Articulated forklifts, with a lift range as high as 10 metres, were adapted to make them ideal for fast, safe tyre handling.
Investment in this carefully designed integrated system has already delivered speed of access and working environment improvements, as well as maximising our already impressive stock holding.
The massive task of relocating the heart of Tructyre was project managed by Scott Matthews, Senior Operations Executive, who said "the decision to relocate was thought through hard and discussed between the management team and Glenn Sherwood (Managing Director) but was essential to support the company growth. The complete working environment has improved and operationally we have already seen better efficiencies in our daily activities. I would also like to thank our staff and teams for the efforts and cooperation during the move, and also to all our suppliers involved with getting the new warehouse ready in the allotted timescales".
Tructyre have been awarded accreditation from Safecontractor for its commitment to achieving excellence in health and safety.
Safecontractor is a leading third party accreditation scheme, which recognises very high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors.
Employing over 150 people Tructyre are principally involved in the heavy vehicle tyre sector, specialising in the haulage, logistics, waste management and construction industries, and with a £30 million turnover. Tructyre clients include major players such as Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury, STVA and Fowler Welch.
The company's application for Safecontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.
"Having recently acquired PK Commercial Tyres Ltd we virtually doubled the company in size overnight! As a result we believe that the new enlarged company is now the leading provider of commercial tyre services in the South East. We have also created a new company to deal specifically with our customer's 'Off Highway' vehicle requirements, such as earthmovers, forklift trucks, etc. which is a specialised area of expertise within our business.
With the acquisition completed we wanted a single accreditation for the whole company. As Investors in People Gold award holders, we are fully committed to the health & safety of our staff and customers, and this accreditation is important to demonstrate our continued commitment in this area." - Glenn Sherwood (Managing Director).
John Kinge, Technical Director of Safecontractor said, "More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Tructyre has done. The firm's high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector."

Isaiah Keyes.LB
In terms of pure size and acceleration, there might not be a more impressive looking outside linebacker than Isaiah in this class. Prototypical 3-4 outside linebacker with his long frame, good pass-rushing skills and experience playing up on the line of scrimmage. This guy can blow up the perimeter run or make plays pursuing sideline-to-sideline. Has great height and wide frame that is well-defined but still has room for good physical development. Plays the game with an intense motor and shows great chase speed from the backside. Good vertical attacker with his long body, great initial burst and deceptively good bend.. Learn More
Emmett KeyesFS/CB/KR
There is not much to dislike about Will. This kid is a smashmouth, high-motor player, and if you like to watch the battles that can happen in the trenches, he will put a smile on your face. Right off the bat, it is hard to ignore his tenacious style of play. He has a fantastic motor and really seems to approach every play with a nasty, "refuse to lose" attitude. Will Lawrence : Is getting looks from several D-1 Colleges. Learn More
Aaron CooperDE/OLB
There is a lot to like about Kameron as you watch this kid play. He is a very good football player and can be a real disruptive presence. He is a prospect with good size. He has good height and bulk for a high school prospect and looks to carry his weight well. He also displays physical upside and the ability to add more good bulk in time as he continues to physically mature He plays with a good motor and will pursue to the ball Learn More
Jemaurian JonesCB
Jemaurian is a play-making corner with great quickness, athleticism and awareness skills. He consistently puts himself in the correct position to make plays on the football. Expertly reads the quarterback in zone schemes and anticipates the pass as good as any in this class. He transitions quickly and excels at jumping routes, closing the cushion and breaking up the underneath perimeter pass. Shows good hip fluidity and redirection skill. Learn More
Cayl WagnerOT/OG/DT
Cayl is a crushing, dominant run blocker with the size, athleticism and balance we like to see for the tackle position at the major level of competition. This guy has the tools to step in and be an immediate starter, becoming a long term force at his position. Demonstrates good flexibility in a three point stance; comes off the ball with explosion and a flat back. Gets a good fit when single blocking and does a great job blocking inside shaded defenders, knocking them back and burying them. Learn More

French Tulip by M A A Q
Have you seen Spring blooming yet? Among the most noticeable signs of spring are the invigorating presence of newly blooming flowers. Among the most popular of all flowers in the world is the bright, bold and beautiful tulip. Because tulips come in an abundance of color patterns they deserve their own theme. We recently featured some of our favorite tulip photos here. But we can never get enough of a good thing so we're starting a new bouquet of tulip shots.

SILVES, Portugal (AP) - Christie Welsh and Stephanie Rigamat scored Tuesday as the United States defeated Portugal 2-0 in the Algarve Cup.
Welsh scored in the 62nd minute on an assist from Katherine Reddich, and Rigamat scored with three minutes left.
Welsh's goal in the 62nd minute ended a 315-minute scoreless streak for the U.S. women stretching over four matches and dating back to a 1-1 tie with China in January. Rigamat, who entered the game in the 63rd minute just after Welsh's tally, added her first international goal.
The United States, the defending champion, lost to Canada 3-0 in its opener. The Americans sent a young roster because the veterans are preparing for the start of the new U.S. women's league next month.
The U.S. team included two 16-year-olds: defender Amy Steadman and forward Kristen Weiss. No U.S. player was over 20 in Tuesday's game.
``We showed signs of a lack of confidence at the beginning of the game, which is not surprising when you go two games without scoring a goal,'' coach April Heinrichs said. ``But our competitiveness during the course of the game got a little bit better, and the spirit with which we played forced the game to get stretched out, which was to our advantage.''
Sweden (2-0) beat Canada 5-2 and leads Group A with six points, three ahead of Canada and the United States (both 1-1) and six ahead of Portugal (0-2). The Americans play Sweden on Thursday.

What is a High Performing Culture? What does it feel like to work in one? We have all hopefully had experiences of working in great teams – even if this is outside of work e.g. organizing a holiday with friends/family. Once we have had an experience of working effectively in a group, we seek it again and know what we are missing when we sit at work and realize that our team is not functioning as well as it could. Petty quarrels and office politics lead us to feel low in energy and disappoint somehow that we can't work in a 'better' place.Look at this website:http://www.culturecodex.com/
We All want to work in a High Performing Culture
I've worked with a lot of different organization and when it comes to discussing what culture each organization is trying to foster, there seems to be little or no difference! Yes there may be an emphasis on 'innovation' or an emphasis on 'commercial awareness' but at the end of the day, nearly all the manager, directors and company owners that I've worked with want what I call a High Performing Culture -one where employees are energized by their work and contribute in meetings, buy-into new ideas and take responsibility for change. No-one has said 'I want a workforce that only does the minimum that is required of them, are not engaged in the organization's improvements and refuse to contribute in meetings'!
How do Cultures Form?
The Culture of an organization can briefly be described as the general values, attitudes and behaviors of the people that work in that organization. How does a culture form? Human brains are designed to copy, we see this clearly in children who copy what we do and say. As adults, this function of the brain is still working to help us 'fit in'. We unconsciously copy those around us. This is how cultures are created. Those at the top of the hierarchy (The CEO and Directors) will have the greatest influence on the culture of their organization. This is because inherently we take our lead from those above.
So if the Leaders at the highest levels of organizations are arrogant or bullying, then this behavior is seen as 'acceptable' or even a good way to behave to get promoted! It is copied like a waterfall effect by Leaders further down the hierarchy. To effectively change the culture, the Leaders need to change those behaviors and attitudes that are not conducive to high performance. It becomes a matter of WHO you are not so much WHAT you do. After all would you follow someone who cannot even control their own emotions?
Using OD – Training and Coaching
Training and coaching are the ultimate tools for obtaining a High Performing Culture and the Organizational Development program should be addressing the barriers in the organization that are currently preventing the organization from achieving a High Performance Culture.
The Restrictions on Head of OD
If the barriers to high performance within an organization include the way the CEO and/or board members behave then this will be extremely difficult for the Organizational Development practitioner to address if they do not sit at board level. The lower down the hierarchy the Head of OD sits, the less effective they will be in obtaining a high performing culture for the organization. Not only will it be more difficult for them to gain buy-in from above, it also demonstrates that the organization as a whole deems OD to be less valuable and important than any of the other disciplines represented at board level. It is most likely that the CEO and Directors do not fully understand the bigger picture when its comes to Training. They are unlikely to join the dots between training their staff to do their jobs more effectively and creating an overall high performing culture. They are also unlikely to join the dots between high performing cultures and the increase profits that this would inevitably bring to the organization.
Carrot and Stick
To really create a High Performing Culture, the incentives given to people for 'good' work also needs to be addressed. If a company implicitly promotes people that are 'go getting' and take lots of risks, then this behavior will be encouraged. Those that fit in best will be 'go getting' and risk taking and as we tend to promote people like ourselves, the organization will end up with a strong bias of managers who all share a similar attitude and therefore behavior. The actual reward system needs to be aligned with the new behaviors that the organization wants to promote.
The Theory
Psychologically we grow up doing the behaviors that we get attention for, even if that is negative attention. We need to gain attention from adults (preferably parents/primary carers) in order to feel valued and have an identity. Therefore if, as a child, we were given most attention when we were loud, or naughty, or very well behaved, we will unconsciously continue this behavior to feel valued as adults.
So the workplace is full of us all unconsciously doing what we were 'set up' to do as children! We are then still learning to gain attention and praise from our managers and this is a very powerful force for getting people to adapt their behavior.
The Key to High Performing Cultures
The key to gaining a high performing culture is in the 'quality' of the leadership. It is really about who the leaders are as people. What unconscious ways of behavior are they carrying from their own childhood conditioning? How do they act under pressure/challenge, can they maintain a calm/adult state? What makes them frustrated and what makes them anxious? How do they view people in general? Do they think that some of their staff are inherently 'lazy'? What are their prejudices?
The difficulty is, that often we become Leaders but are given no access to understanding WHO we are and HOW we instinctively behave. We may not really know what High Performance Leadership looks like. We stay unaware of our 'bad habits' or simply don't know how to change them even if we've tried.

While preparing for the 2011 Game Developers Conference to kick into full gear tomorrow, our Stephen Totilo takes a moment to soak up the not-so-local flavor outside San Francisco's Moscone Center.
McWhertor, Totilo, and Crecente are all getting ready for the non-stop pace of GDC 2011, so I'm left alone in Kotaku Tower, forced to do nothing all day but write up stories and gorge myself on Chicken in a Biskit crackers and Easy Cheese, a combination that nearly makes up for the fact that I missed out on a demonstration of that wonderful Brazilian martial art / dance form known as Capoeira.
The dancers aren't bad, but they pale in comparison to my favorite Capoeira performers of all time.
Apparently there are dancing girls there as well, but being a good married man, Stephen immediately turned off the camera as soon as one got into the shot.
Stay with Kotaku all week long for more news, interviews, and dancing videos from GDC 2011.

Perfect Age
As I was rocking Zach tonight while he drank his sippy cup of milk I was thinking how I love his age right now. He is still a baby, but sleeps through the night, is starting to tell me what he likes, sings, toddles and laughs, laughs, laughs. He is not yet a little boy who gets frustrated with not being able to tell me what he wants, screams and runs away from me. Though we are not too far off from those things, I can feel it. I am just loving him right this second. He lets me cuddle him up to drink his bottle, while I know full well he would be totally happy drinking it by himself on the couch, preferably watching TV like his dad lets him. But I don't do that. I clutch him to me on his boppy and rock him while he drinks. I think about the day and all the things I enjoy about my little man. Then in a split second he is done and spins up to stare at me 5 inches from my face and is talking again.

The crippling cost of renting or buying a home is forcing couples to stay living together after they have separated, a study reveals, reports The Daily Mail.
The report, from housing charity Shelter, found that 3.6 million people have been forced to continue living with a partner over the past year because they could not afford to move out of their shared home.
One separated couple with two children told Shelter they had to continue sharing a double bed because they could not afford to buy two single beds and had no spare room.
The study also found that millions of couples are moving in together 'too soon' for financial, rather than emotional, reasons.
Over the past year, two million people admit to moving in prematurely 'because they could not afford to live apart'.
The report comes at a time when it costs £163,000 to buy the average home in Britain and the and the monthly rental bill is £734, close to an all-time high.
Shelter warns that couples of all ages are having to take the plunge of moving in together far sooner than they want. Shelter chief executive Campbell Robb said: 'It shows the extraordinary impact that the cost of housing is having on people's lives and relationships.

Steve Holland, Mississippi state senator (and Democrat!), is proposing that the Gulf of Mexico be renamed "Gulf of America." HB 150– the name of the bill in question– would propose that the name change take effect July 1st.
Seriously, what in the hell is going through Holland's mind. In what world would this not be a)considered hateful, and b) a waste of government time. What, does the state of Mississippi not have more pressing items in its agenda? Like, for example, the fact that the state is dead last when it comes to education? Or how about the fact that Mississippi has the highest percentage of households below the poverty line (20.1%, or 571,000 people). But, hey, forget all that. Let's all rag on Mexicans because they took our jerbs!
It's kind of tragic that our world map will someday look like this thanks to these douchebags:

Goals vs Resolutions
It's January– a new year and a new beginning. Once again, everyone is making New Years Resolutions.

Sadly, these resolutions have a very short life span and fade away very quickly after they are created. (more…)
7 Tips to Being a Great Conversationalist
Over the years, I have been told that I am easy to talk to and have good conversation skills. I guess that is because I am a peoples person, I just love meeting new people and having conversations with them on just about anything that may come up. It didn't always used to be like this. I have read a couple of books and been fortunate enough to know some brilliant conversationalists. I have learnt from them how to improve my own conversational and communication skills. Here are few tips to help improve your conversational skills. Hopefully they will help you become a welcome sight at every party and social event you attend. (more…)
7 Practical Ways to Improve Your Vocabulary
In my previous post I mentioned how improving your vocabulary can improve your life. There are a number of ways to improve your vocabulary which I will be discussing now. By using and applying these methods listed below you are sure to be on your way to building a strong vocabulary.
How Improving Your Vocabulary can Improve Your Life
If you know me personally you will know that I love to read. One of the biggest advantages I have got from reading is that my vocabulary has improved tremendously. I have learnt many new words and have a greater command of my language. I am also able to communicate my ideas more effectively. Developing a great vocabulary is one of the most overlooked ways to improve our lives. Many people believe that learning new words is only useful for writers and speakers. The truth is that everyone can benefit from it, both personally and professionally. Let's see how.
Begin With the Physical
Moving to a new country can be challenging in many ways. I've recently moved to the Philippines to pursue a masters degree. Three weeks have flown by and I am still trying to get a handle on everything – while keeping up with the pressure of my post-graduate course work. Needless to say, it's taking longer than expected to settle in. However, it is a new beginning – a fresh start. There are a few changes I'd like to make in my life – some major and minor adjustments. Everything from implementing a new daily routine to starting an exercise program (which I have started), to becoming an early riser. Where to start? That is what this post is about.

Pupil Premium funding makes a difference
The Pupil Premium was introduced five years ago to provide additional funding for schools to support children from low-income families and children whose parents are in the armed forces. Schools receive additional funding for students who fall into the following categories:
- Students who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) or have had FSM in the past 6 years
- Students whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces or were recorded as being in the forces in the past 4 years
- Students who have been "looked after" at any stage in the last year
- Students who have been adopted from Local Authority care
Since Pupil Premium funding has been introduced, we have been able to reduce average class sizes in English and Maths and deploy a range of strategies to support potentially disadvantaged students at Mayfield.
Pupil Premium support has seen the gaps in achievement between potentially disadvantaged students and their peers narrow. The school is constantly reviewing how it spends the Pupil Premium Grant to diminish the differences for disadvantaged children. Further details of how Mayfield School allocated its Pupil Premium grant and the impact of this funding are shown in our 2018-19 Pupil Premium Report:
Pupil Premium Strategy Report 2018-19
We need your help to ensure that we are able to keep receiving this funding and continue to make a difference.
- Are you currently serving the Armed Forces? If so, please can you inform the school by emailing Mrs Anders, Assistant Headteacher, at the school on email@example.com
- Do you think that you may be entitled to Free School Meals? The current eligibility criteria for Free School Meals and the application form are available on our website. The form is quick to complete and you get a reply quickly.
Applying for Free School Meals does not mean that your child has to take them every day - they can still bring a packed lunch if they wish – but it does ensure that the school will continue to receive this additional funding. Further information about Free School Meals and completed applications can be returned to Mrs Hamilton in the School Office or by email to email@example.com

I send out a survey of questions to couples that book me as their wedding celebrant. This is a regular practice and really helps me to create a personalised and unique ceremony. Of course I always include the proviso that all of the questions don't have to be answered, I know how annoying it is to have to write a response to a question that is irrelevant or that is difficult answer. However, putting thought into constructing a response is really helpful to me as the celebrant and I think it can also help the couple in the process of preparing for marriage.
One of the questions I include is, what will marriage add to your relationship that you don't already have? For some reason, the question stood out to me this week and made me think about the answer in a personal context, what did marriage bring to my relationship that wasn't there before? You see, I didn't come to marriage in a traditional way. The order in my life was way out when you consider what is usual.
My husband and I married after 15 years together having had our children, building a mud brick house together and establishing our careers. There was no order to these life achievements, things unfolded and over those fifteen years we built a life together. Eventually, after a previous conscious decision as young adults that we didn't need a legal certificate to make our relationship a strong and lasting one, we finally decided that we wanted to marry.
Why? We thought it would be a nice thing to do. We knew our families would like it and we wanted to publicly declare our commitment to each other in front of our families and friends. I think that we finally knew that we wanted to grow old together.
Our wedding was very moving for us, both my husband and I cried, a lot. It was a modest affair, informal, a civil service followed by a backyard party. There were no attendants, I didn't wear a dress and my husband didn't wear a suit. Our children were there with us to witness the ceremony and celebration. We didn't have a honeymoon until 15 years later and on our wedding night our toddler was in our bed.
So what did marriage bring to our relationship that it didn't already have?
What it meant to us was profound. Our commitment was stated and witnessed, not just implicit, as we promised to be there for each other, forever. We had been totally committed already, to each other and to our children but the act of our wedding consolidated this in a real and powerful way. In that moment we were choosing to celebrate what we had become and what we were looking forward to in our future. We had survived substantial challenges and overcome personal tragedy and we had survived. We were okay and we knew we always would be. Of course, the main thing was the celebration of our love and our confidence that this love would stand up to anything that life dealt us, as long as we stayed true to the promises we made on that day.

Ontario Investing in Upgrades and Repairs for Community Agencies in Scarborough
Province Providing $580,000 to Improve Local Facilities
Ontario is helping community agencies provide better, safer and more accessible facilities for individuals and families in Scarborough.
As part of the annual Partner Facility Renewal program, the province is investing approximately $580,000 for repairs and renovations at seven local non-profit agencies in Scarborough that provide services to people with developmental disabilities and women and their children experiencing violence.
For example:
- Julliette's Place Homeward Family Shelter is receiving $115,000 to replace the 20-ton rooftop cooling unit, structurally improve the rooftop system, and upgrade and enhance security around entrances.
- Participation House Parent Association is receiving $27,000 to finish repairs on a ramp for better and safer wheelchair access, and to upgrade an old shower room.
- Mary Centre of the Archdiocese of Toronto is receiving $101,200 to upgrade accessible washrooms, waterproof a foundation and replace an emergency access walkway.
Through the Partner Facility Renewal program, the province is investing a total of nearly $36 million toward upgrades and repairs at more than 350 community agencies across Ontario. This investment includes $28 million that was distributed last summer and nearly $8 million that was delivered in December.
The funding is part of the largest infrastructure investment in the province's history -- more than $134 billion over 10 years, which is making 110,000 jobs possible every year across the province, with projects such as roads, bridges, transit systems, schools and hospitals. In the last six months of 2015, the province announced support for nearly 200 projects that will keep people and goods moving, connect communities and improve quality of life.
Quick Facts
- Emergency women's shelters across Ontario serve approximately 12,000 women and nearly 8,000 children each year.
- There are approximately 42,000 adults with a developmental disability in Ontario who received government-funded supports.
- Research shows that every $100 million of public infrastructure investment in Ontario boosts GDP by $114 million, particularly in construction and manufacturing sectors.
Additional Resources
- Find out about Ontario's support for victims of domestic violence.
- Learn how Ontario is improving services for people with a developmental disability.
"Community agencies here in Scarborough and across the province are providing vital residential supports and developmental services for families, and shelter services for women who need a safe haven for themselves and their children. We need to ensure the facilities they depend on are safe, secure and in good repair."
Dr. Helena Jaczek
"Our government recognizes that the safety and accessibility of community agencies, such as those in my riding of Scarborough-Rouge River is essential to the staff who provide specialized care and assistance to those in need, and to the families who rely on these services."
Bas Balkissoon
"This investment will help Julliette's Place provide an even safer environment for women and their children fleeing abuse by providing much-needed repairs and upgrades. We're pleased that the government of Ontario recognizes the value of keeping community agencies such as ours well-maintained."

Topic tags/keywords: tablesaw plunge saw question
I'm contemplating that I need something to cut larger pieces of wood that is a bit better than a handheld circular saw. I was at woodcraft yesterday and they have the festool plunge saw TS55 for sale at $450. So I was thinking whether this piece of equipment could replace a table saw. I have a dewalt circular saw and a shopmade masonite straightedge. I'm still having problems keeping the thing straight when I saw mainly, I think because it is rather heavy.
Can you do everything you can do on a tablesaw with a plungesaw? I'd think that with the portability of the plunge saw it'd be more convenient (you carry the saw, not the sheetgoods). But then perhaps the plunge saw is more limited in its use.
What say you?
I'm not terribly interested in a debate regarding the different brands, I know that dewalt, makita and festool all make this thing and that they are more or less comparable in quality and price. The festool is on sale now, making it actually cheaper than the other two brands, so that would be my deciding factor.

Hi fiddlebanshee,
I haven't posted much here on LJ, but I use the Festool TS55 and MFT quite a bit. I wrote a retrospective article about the TS55 and MFT from Festool a few years ago. My current shop is built around the TS55 and MFT. I don't have a tablesaw and have not been limited in my work without one.
I would not argue against having a tablesaw though. They are GREAT tools! But the plunge saw systems are great as well.
If you are interested, here is a link my Festool article. It is hosted by Adobe.

Assuming you anouther way to make dados, grooves, and rabbets such as a router or plow plane, then it should work out fine. While I would like to get a plunge saw for breaking down full sheets, it would not replace the table saw in my shop simply because it is so easy to get make the cut on the Table saw versus the plunge saw (slide my fence over vs aligning and clamping everytime i need to make a cut)
#3 posted 05-29-2010 01:43 PM
Yes, I have a router, router table and a plunge base for the router so I am pretty well setup I think for dados, grooves, rabbets and the like.

I just recently purchased the Festool TS55 and I really like, I think everyone does which is why I bought one. I also got it for the $450 price and I think it was well worth the money.
As for "replaceing" a tablesaw completely I say no. There are so many things you can do easily on a table saw that can't be done as easily on a router table or with a plunge saw. I just recently built my first cut off sled for my table saw and it really makes cutting small to moderate size pieces so quick and easy. Like JBoss said you really need a way to cut rabbets and dados and a table saw is probably best suited for that job since you can usually cut them the correct size in one pass.
I disagree somewhat with the fact that JBoss makes it sound a bit difficult to use the plunge saw due to having to clamp it down. I haven't even tried using my TS55 with clamps. I have found that like everyone who has one says, you really don't need to clamp it down for most cuts.
If you do go with the plunge saw for ripping down plywood then I would suggest getting the longer track that is capable of cutting down the 8' length of the plywood. I didn't and I think I will end up buying one in the future. I do however think that it's nice to have the shorter one also since it's not as difficult to move around as the long one.

We both posted at the same time. Well if you are satisfued with your router then I say go for it!
The only bad thing about Festool products is that when you buy one and you see how great of a tool they make it will make you want to see how their other tools are compared to the rest. But then they are much higher priced and you will be wanting to spend some big bucks on some tools, but I am sure they would be worth it.

I have both a plunge saw (ts 55) and a table saw as well as a miter saw. Each one serves a purpose and there is a lot of overlap (i.e. there are lots of cuts I could make on at least 2 of the 3 different saws). However, if I could only have one saw it would be the plunge saw.
It's been noted elsewhere that the plunge saw does not do dados and that's true but you can make multiple passes with the regular saw blade to create a dado. Further, there are other options for making dados.
A cut that the plunge saw is weak at is cutting small pieces of wood. If I were doing work that required cutting a lot of small pieces (which I hate to do) I would elect the TS over a plunge saw. Otherwise, a plunge saw is the most versatile.

But that you could do safely on a miter saw, no? I also have a mitersaw. I actually thought it was not very safe to cut small pieces on a TS but since I don't own one, this is pure hearsay.
So far I see the advantages of a plunge saw over a table saw in order of importance to me:
1. safety (seems to me that a plunge saw is less accident prone)
The woodcraft sale lasts till Monday, so I'll have to pretty much decide by then.

I think that the track & plunge saw vs tablesaw is not a question of which is better but a question of what do you plan to do and how much space do you have in your shop. A good and and safe table saw setup requires space, an out feed table (for working with longer pieces or sheet goods) and dust collection. A table saw excels when you have to make lots of small pieces very consistently or ripping long narrow stock. A plunge saw with a track (go for the 8' track)) is a much safer way to cut sheet goods than a table saw.
When we teach homeshop cabinetmaking we use a plunge saw and track with the plywood supported by two sheets of pink insulating foam. We set up two low sawhorses supporting a sheet of shop ply; on that we lay the foam and then the sheet goods you're going to cut. The pink foam is sacrificial but can be used for a long time – if the blade plunges into it just doesn't matter.
Rereading the thread I think I'm amplifying Rich's answer.
Good luck

You can indeed make grooves, dadoes, rebates, cove and lap cuts with the Festool TS55 saw. I do it all the time. I also cut small pieces with it safely and accurately.
There is much that can be done with the TS55 and table. There can be overlap with other tools, depending on what you have in your shop. Take for example, making a groove. It can be done with the Festool setup, but it can also be done with a router or a TS, if you have it. But, the Festool setup can do it.
Take making coves, you probably wouldn't think of the Festool plunge saw for this type of cut. But, sure enough, it can do it. Though, if you had a TS, you'd likely go with that to make the cove cut.

I love our table saw and have given track saws a thought or two in the past. I have a hard time believing I could get the same out of the track saw as I do the table saw. When I build a kitchen, I can break down 5 or 10 sheets of plywood in a jiffy with no issues with our set up.
But, I love new toys and who knows, maybe some day.

Skeezics: Leesburg is in the northern most part of VA. It's probably a 6 hour drive. Don't think so for a couple of tracks. The issue I have with the circ saw is the weight, it's not just having a track for it. I lifted the festool at Woodcraft and it was much lighter than my heavy duty dewalt circ saw.

#12 posted 05-29-2010 05:03 PM
I don't have a track saw and don't feel the need for one so If in doubt buy a table saw first it can do more than cut sheet goods and with a good outfeed table you may not ever need a track saw. To each there own if a track saw works for others I say enjoy.

Here is my opinion, for what it's worth. I have done woodworking for about 45 years, so obviously I started in a era when there were no track saws. Since I am a Festool dealer, my first inclination is to push the track saw.
However —-Your question was basically—-which one—Table saw or Plunge saw? If you told me I had to make a choice based on my woodworking, I would have to stick with a table saw. I realize you can get by with only a plunge saw, and depending on what you do that might work well. As much as I like using my TS55, I would not give up my table saws. If all I did was sheet goods my answer might be different. Most of my work is solid lumber so the table saw makes more since to me. Ripping multiple pieces is faster. Mitered boxes—again easier, especially smaller pieces (Use a sled) Dados, unless you do them with a router, are easier and more practical with a table saw.
In a perfect world, you could have both. We rarely have that luxury. Your are asking a very valid question. I hope all of the answers together will help you find what's right for you.
#14 posted 05-29-2010 06:43 PM
@Kent: "Most of my work is solid lumber so the table saw makes more since to me. "
Can you or someone else elaborate on this? Why does the TS make more sense when cutting solid lumber? Is it the depth of the cut? The narrowness of the stock? The horsepowers?
-- As if I needed another hobby!
#15 posted 05-29-2010 06:54 PM
The track saw best probably for cutting up large sheet good accurately. If you are using alot of solid lumber it will most often be in sizes that are managable on a table saw.
It's just that a full sheet of plywood can be difficult to handle safely on a table saw. MDF is the worst it HEAVY!

It is hard to believe, but it is now almost three years since the first time I suspended. Since then I have suspended seven more times, and I have no doubt in my mind that more is to come. (Insert obvious pun about being hooked.)
The concept of body suspension is very foreign to most people, so I wrote about a few of my suspensions (Cannonball, Lotus, Crucifix, Scorpion) in the hopes of addressing he whys and hows. I also got to suspend and talk about body suspension on TV a couple of times, so I have done what I can in terms of mainstreaming in Norway… Now I live in the UK, where fewer people seem to have heard of the practice – which is why I am using English to log my latest body suspension.
Every time I suspend, I learn something new. My first suspension taught me that A) I can do this! and B) I even enjoy this! and this opened up for a whole range of new experiences. Through body suspension I have learned to relax and let go, I have learned that I don't have to know everything in advance, I have learned about spontaneity, I have learned about my own need for intense experiences, I have learned to trust other people on a deep level, and I have learned that I am stronger and more resilient than I thought.
I am still learning about all these things, though. Ahead of a suspension I always have to remind myself that I am (supposed to be) strong and resilient, and sometimes I have to get other people to remind me! Last Sunday I got really nervous and had to text a friend: Say something encouraging! He responded by saying: You're going to fly away, and the moment your feet leave the ground nothing else will matter 🙂 He was right, of course – as soon as I was pulled off the ground, I relaxed into the feeling and had a beautiful time. Afterwards I felt a bit silly for having been nervous.
I did a Crucifix Suspension – my second one, and I was planning to do something cool with my legs or at least one leg, but decided not to. My excuse was that I wanted to be able to go to jiu jitsu the next day, so the fewer scars the better … but the truth is that I was tired and felt a bit vulnerable. I simply didn't want too suffer through too many piercings. As soon as the first hook went in, though, I realized that it wasn't that bad, and I remembered that I actively like the sensation of the needle – that sharp, quick shock. It clears my head and gives me a rush. I still went ahead with the regular Crucifix and flew happily for 20 minutes or so.
Everything felt great, but I grew tired quite quickly this time. I usually feel little to no pain after some time in the air – endorphins are great like that – but that doesn't mean that the pain isn't there. This time I could feel quite strongly that my body was in pain though my brain said otherwise. So I decided to come down before I wore myself out. Normally I like to stay up for a bit longer (except for that time when I did my Scorpion suspension), so I ended up feeling disappointed in myself. A stupid feeling, of course, but it was there nonetheless. I was happy and giddy like I always am after a suspension, but at the same time I felt like I had been weak and even a bit lazy!
So – I think my primary lesson after this suspension is that I should try to see body suspension less in the light of achievement and more in the light of experience. After all, I am not trying to prove anything, I am just there to have a good time! So I have decided that I should probably try to be a bit easier on myself. I have also decided that being a bit scared is perfectly alright and even exhilarating. Of course I have always been of that opinion, but this time I was really tested. I tried to put on a semi-brave face for my friends, but the wonderful Håvve from Wings of Desire probably saw that I was a bit more nervous than usual, so he did a silly dance and made me laugh. I ended up laughing at myself as well, and I realized that being scared is OK and not dangerous.
The other day I had talk with a friend from jiu jitsu about the stages of learning or growth. He drew on a notepad and talked about «the comfort zone, the stretch zone and the panic zone», and pointed out that real growth is to be found right at the end of the stretch zone – in other words: at the threshold of the panic zone. Eventually the stretch zone extends and pushes the «panic border» further ahead. I don't think this applies to all types of learning – panic is after all a strong word – but it certainly applies to my experience of practicing body suspension. It even applies to how I view my writing. I can't grow if I'm comfortable.
And that is what I will think about the next time I suspend – or indeed struggle in front of my laptop.

(Photo by Alex Stonehill/UW Election Eye MOUNT VERNON — Sharon Brandt came to her caucus, at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Skagit County, armed and ready to collect signatures for Initiative 1192, one of two efforts to put the fate of same-sex marriage legislation in Washington to a popular vote this autumn. Brandt said she found out about the effort just last weekend and wanted to get involved, so she attended an organizing meeting in Everett and picked up petition forms. "What [the legislature] voted for goes against God," she said, "and we don't believe you can go against God." Signatures stacked up slowly at first, but as caucus-goers here wrapped up their meetings, a crowd formed around the table where Brandt had laid out the petition forms. About 150 people attended the caucus overall, and by the time the last person had filed out the door of the church, Brandt said she had collected close to 100 signatures in support of Initiative 1192."I think it will get on the ballot, but I don't know if it will pass or not," said Fil Maestas, a Romney supporter who also signed the petition. Fil Maestas signs the I-1192 petition (Alex Stonehill/UW Election Eye) He said signature collection efforts started about a week and half ago outside the doors of the Mount Vernon Wal-Mart where he works. But the popular canvassing spot was claimed a few days later by Girl Scouts, who had reserved the space to sell cookies. Protect Marriage Washington, the group sponsoring the I-1192 effort, needs to collect over 240,000 valid signatures by July 6 to get the initiative on the November ballot. A second effort, Referendum 74, only requires 120,577 signatures in order to put the same-sex marriage bill passed by the state legislature last month to a popular vote. While it might seem that the two separate efforts would sap support from each other, one website opposed to the efforts points out that if they both make it on the ballot, it will create the confusing situation where a 'yes' vote on one will be equivalent to a 'no' vote on the other. In addition, if either of the two measures passed it would overturn the same-sex marriage bill. But first, the initiative and referendum efforts need to collect enough signatures. Plenty of voters here today lent their names to the cause. Comments | Topics: 1192, 74, Family

How to Keep Your Password Reset Emails Out of the Spam FolderCarly Brantz
Transactional emails are arguably the most important and impactful messages being sent to your customers because they are an expected and desired communication. Oftentimes, customers are actually waiting to receive email from you. Such is the case when it comes to password reset or recovery messages.
Think about it. A user comes to the site ready to engage, but forgets their login credentials. They click the link that walks them through your recovery steps and upon hitting the submit button, they expect to receive an email from you with password instructions instantaneously. They immediately zip over to their inbox and eagerly wait for your message to pop up. But what if it doesn't?
That undelivered email results in a frustrated customer who now finds it hard to access your site and annoyed that they must now find an alternative. Depending on the need or urgency, your user may try again or simply move on. For instance, a banking customer may attempt the recovery process again or call customer service if they are unsuccessful because they have a monetary issue to resolve right away. However, a coupon, news or other lifestyle web application might find that they have just lost a customer to a competitor that is easier to access on the fly.
While numerous factors play into the willingness of a customer to try and try again, the fact is that they shouldn't have to. No matter what business you are in, providing easy access to the customer's account should be top of mind. Therefore, you should do three key things to ensure your password reset emails always make it through:
1. Closely monitor the mailstream that sends login credentials to ensure you are experiencing high delivery rates. If not, find out the reasons why and fix them right away.
2. Consider sending login credentials over a separate IP address. Even a small dip in your delivery rate can lead to low usage, engagement and customer satisfaction which will ultimately affect renewals. With a dedicated IP, you can closely manage your reputation and ensure 100% delivery every time.
3. Finally, ensure that mailstream is properly authenticated for security and deliverability optimization. Phishers could be pretending to be your brand which will affect how ISPs treat your email. By helping ISPs identify you as a sender, you will save yourself a lot of headache in the long run.
Also consider the customer service costs incurred from phone calls and support emails. Poor delivery of login credentials could be costing you more than you think.

Playing with a gaming console is a pretty common thing. Consoles are designed in singularity like one graphic chip, one processor, predetermined memory and other hardware configurations. Most gamers are familiar with consoles at least even by name.
PC gamers on the other hand are reliant on a PC that can perform well enough like a console. That's where gaming machines come in handy; right from hardware to software, these PCs are created keeping in mind the requirements of a gamer. One of the key software required for gaming is the latest DirectX version for your PC. A PC gamer understands the benefit of having DirectX in their machine and the need to update it.
Understanding DirectX
It is a software of Microsoft that interacts with the PC's hardware. DirectX is created to handle tasks that are related to both rendering 3D and 2D graphic vectors. It also includes audio and video playing.
Of course it's not the only one in the market, but it has surely overtaken other graphics-oriented APIs like OpenGL. The growth of DirectX over the years has made very relevant and important in any PC and not only for gamers. It is disputably unmatched in the market and it only gets better with the newer versions.
When you are going to buy a gaming console, you're looking for specific things and the main focus is usually the graphics card. Your PC cannot utilize the hardware to its fullest without DirectX and that's why it is extra important to gamers.
Developers have created games which require a CPU with high performance and graphics card. The game compatibility is also an important issue. A good game should comfortably run on any system. PC gaming is more than just the hardware components. DirectX is aimed at focusing the computer tasks on the graphics card so that the main processor is free and the gaming experience isn't bothered by the background activities.
Other than that you can boost your PC speed by installing two graphics card. DirectX enables the PC to utilize the cards at the same time. It gets even better if you have multiple cores. This means that the entire load is not concentrated in one place.
PC Hardware
A gaming machine is designed to handle very complex tasks. Looking at any gaming machine, you will realize that the capabilities are remarkable. Making the most of it on the other hand can be quite difficult without the DirectX. It eliminates the concerns that may arise whether or not the hardware capabilities are being implemented as detailed. You want to take advantage of the computer components and have the ultimate experience. Considering how much the gaming PC costs, you definitely don't want to be using it for just basic tasks. With that in mind, getting DirectX is a smart move especially if you're a gamer. Don't underestimate the power of gaming machines; they can do so much with the right software.

Comments Posting comment... Premium member Presentation Transcript PowerPoint Presentation: Genetic Engineering In HumansPowerPoint Presentation: What is Genetic Engineering? Genetic engineering , also called genetic modification , is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed, or "knocked out", using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that uses homologous recombination to change an endogenous gene, and can be used to delete a gene, remove exons , add a gene, or introduce point mutations. .PowerPoint Presentation: Genome? A genome is an organism's complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism. In humans, a copy of the entire genome—more than 3 billion DNA base pairs—is contained in all cells that have a nucleus.PowerPoint Presentation: What Is 'DNA'? DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA ).PowerPoint Presentation: Each base pair is attached to a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. Together, a base, sugar, and phosphate are called a nucleotide. Nucleotides are arranged in two long strands that form a spiral called a double helix. The structure of the double helix is somewhat like a ladder, with the base pairs forming the ladder's rungs and the sugar and phosphate molecules forming the vertical sidepieces of the ladder.PowerPoint Presentation: What Is Genetic Engineering In Humans? Human genetic engineering is about genetically engineering human beings by modifying their genotypes before birth. The Genotype is the genetic constitution of an individual with respect to a particular character under consideration. This is done to control the traits possessed by the individual after his/her birth. The cells of our body contain encoded information about the body's growth, structure and functioning in the form of genes. Human genetic engineering aims at decoding this information and applying it to the welfare of mankind.PowerPoint Presentation: The Process of Genetic Engineering In Humans Step 1: The first step is to choose and isolate the gene that will be inserted into the genetically modified organism. Presently, most genes transferred into plants provide protection against insects or tolerance to herbicides. In animals the majority of genes used are growth hormone genes. The gene can be isolated using restriction enzymes to cut DNA into fragments and gel electrophoresis to separate them.PowerPoint Presentation: out according to length. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) can also be used to amplify up a gene segment, which can then be isolated through gel electrophoresis. If the chosen gene or the donor organism's genome has been well studied it may be present in a genetic library. If the DNA sequence is known, but no copies of the gene are available, it can be artificially synthesized.PowerPoint Presentation: Step 2: The gene to be inserted into the genetically modified organism must be combined with other genetic elements in order for it to work properly. The gene can also be modified at this stage for better expression or effectiveness. As well as the gene to be inserted most constructs contain a promoter and terminator region as well as a selectable marker gene. The promoter region initiates transcription of the gene and can be used to control the location and level of gene expression, while the terminator region ends transcription.PowerPoint Presentation: The selectable marker, which in most cases confers antibiotic resistance to the organism it is expressed in, is needed to determine which cells are transformed with the new gene. The constructs are made using recombinant DNA techniques, such as restriction digests, litigations and molecular cloning. The manipulation of the DNA generally occurs within a plasmid.PowerPoint Presentation: The most common form of genetic engineering involves inserting new genetic material randomly within the host genome. Other techniques allow new genetic material to be inserted at a specific location in the host genome or generate mutations at desired genomic loci capable of knocking out endogenous genes. The technique of gene targeting uses homologous recombination to target desired changes to a specific endogenous gene. This tends to occur at a relatively low frequency in plants and animals and generally requires the use of selectable markers. The frequency of gene targeting can be greatly enhanced with the use ofPowerPoint Presentation: engineered nucleases such as zinc finger nucleases, [ engineered homing endonucleases , or nucleases created from TAL effectors. In addition to enhancing gene targeting, engineered nucleases can also be used to introduce mutations at endogenous genes that generate a gene knockout.PowerPoint Presentation: Benefits of Genetic Engineering In Humans It could help prevent life-threatening and incurable diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, even HIV/AIDS. There are cases like cardiomyopathy or susceptibility to viruses, that can be overcome with the help of this technology.PowerPoint Presentation: Better drugs could be produced that are disease or gene specific and attack the specific genetic mutation in an individual, to help over come a disease or disorder. People with a love of life, can place their bets on it to help them live longer. It is possible to increase the average life span of an individual to 100-150 years. And not just a longer life, but a healthy, long life, free from diseases and disorders. Although this may take a bit longer to achieve, but is does not seem impossible any longer.PowerPoint Presentation: Parents can choose the characteristics for babies, like blond with blue eyes, high IQ, fair skin, etc. It may even be possible to choose the talent in your favorite idol to be manufactured in your baby, for example, a singer like Elvis Presley or maybe a great dancer like Michael Jackson. One could even try to create super-humans by incorporating specific features of certain animals. For example, one could have super-sharp vision like the hawk or could outrun a cheetah. One could create a 'Superman' like human who is indestructible.PowerPoint Presentation: Disadvantages Of Genetic Engineering In Humans In the pursuit of producing babies without any genetic defects or hereditary disorders, we may end up producing super humans. Just as the example I mentioned in the beginning of my article, we may have a line of humans that may spell doom to those who are not genetically modified.PowerPoint Presentation: Smarter humans means, larger brains, that may lead to babies with larger heads that have trouble passing through the birth canal of their mothers. This may cause trouble during birth and a rise in cesarean. Long life could lead to population problems. There may be stress on the natural resources and less living space. Yyou may live free of diseases, you may have a fight for survival for securing the basic necessities.PowerPoint Presentation: The problem faced by many developing countries today, is female infanticide. It may help stop this cruel and barbaric custom of killing the innocent girl child. However,it may help such narrow-minded, biased parents to actually choose the gender of the child. Therefore, more parents opting for a male child over a girl child. Thus, directly bringing an end to girl child killing as there will be no birth of the girl child!PowerPoint Presentation: The idea of 'Superman' may seem tantalizing, but its consequences may be very dangerous. Imagine a person who is virtually indestructible, may carry out crimes and becomes a danger to mankind.PowerPoint Presentation: MADE BY : Kopal Sinha Abhishek Kunwar Vishnu Dutt You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
