The present invention relates to sawmills and has particular reference to mechanism for facilitating the grading of cants coming from the headrig of a sawmill so as to attain a greater percentage of first-class lumber from the usual run of cants.
The arrangement comprising the present in vention and the apparatus incorporated therein is particularly adapted for the manufacture of lumber from logs that are thirty feet or more in length and several feet in diameter, but the improvements may be incorporated in sawmills designed to operate upon smaller logs if desired. The present invention is particularly useful in the Northwestern regions where Douglas fir and various types of pines reach tremendous sizes.
The principal object of the present invention is to enable a highly skilled grader to mark cants for subsequent trimming to shorter lengths and for subsequent dividing by means of an edger or similar equipment into lumber of suitable dimensions. It is common practice in sawmills to divide a log into cants which may be of any dimensions commensurate with the sizes of the log and the desires of the sawyer, or the orders on hand at the mill. The cants are then fed by means of a conveyor system to various mechanisms, such as an edger, trim saw, or resaw apparatus, to cut the cants into the desired types of lumber. The present invention provides an alternate conveyor system for delivering the selected cants to an edger or to other mechanism including an edger, which alternate conveyor system is under control of an experienced grader. The present invention comprises means whereby the grader may inspect a cant on all sides thereof so as to select and mark on the cant the sizes of lumber which should be cut therefrom to produce the greatest quantity of highest grade pieces. The mechanism may also be coupled with a trim saw by means of which long, tapered cants or cants having other irregularities therein may be cut into shorter lengths if, in the opinion of the grader, a greater recovery could be had from shorter lengths than would be possible by dividing the entire cant endwise into lumber.
The objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily apparent from inspection of the accompanying drawings wherein the preferred sawmill arrangement and details of the preferred form of cant inspecting device are set forth.
Claims. (Cl. 19833) In the drawings Fig. 1 is a schematic plan Fig. 2'is an enlarged vertical section taken substantially along line 2-2 of Fig. 1; Y N
Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail of the mechanis set forth in Fig. 2 showing a cant in a different position thereon; and
Fig. 4' is a view similar to Fig. 3 showing the apparatus in a different position.
Referring to Fig. 1, a sawmill incorporating the present invention may comprise log handling equipment In by means of which logs are placed upon a reciprocating carriage II. The carriage:
reciprocates past a headrig I2 by means of which the log is sliced into cants which drop from the remainder of the log onto a conveyor system 'in-- cluding a roll frame I3, transfer chains M which move the cants sidewise, and a roller table l5; which delivers the cants lengthwise to an edger l6 by means of which the cant is sliced into the desired sizes of lumber. From the edger the lumber may be transferred to various other trimming or resawing equipment by suitable conveyor equipment.
The present invention comprises the inclusion in the sawmill of an alternative conveyor system fordelivering cants to the edger I6.
I I which maybe selectively brought into play to lift selectedcants sidewise from the roller table: [3 onto chains l8 which transfer the cants to" The marked and graded cants are then fed longi tudinally alonga roller table 2| to a, transverse an inspecting and marking station 20.
Fig. 1 is more fully detailed in Figs. 2, 3 and 4.
In these figures it will be seen that cants Tvhich are delivered transversely by the chains l8 are removed from the ends of the chains l8 by endless chains 30 which are passed about spaced sprockets 3| and 32. The chains 30 are driven by sprockets 33 which are driven by a sprocket 35,-chain 36 and sprocket 31 connected to reduction gearing suitably connected to motive means such as a motor contained in a housing 38. The
chains 30 preferably pass over the sprockets 33 and under laterally spaced, floating, idler sprockets 39 and 40 whereby the chains may be kept taut at all times even though the upper flight thereof may be raised and lowered, as will presently appear.
Such] a conveyor system includes transfer mechanism] The upper flights of the guided on a vertical guide rod 49 and reciprov cated by a piston 50 extending from a cylinder 5 I. When the piston is extended as seen in Fig. 2 the arms 4| and 42 lie horizontally so that the upper flights of chains 30 extend horizontally.
When the piston 50 is retracted the arms 4| and 42 are raised to the positions illustrated in Fig. 4 to raise the central portion of the chains as illustrated. When the arms are horizontal the chains 30 lie slightly beneath the upper edges of rollers 55 placed at both sides of the several chains and making up the roller table 2|. The rollers 55 are driven by suitable mechanism (not shown) so that when the chains are lowered, as seen in Fig. 3, a cant positioned on the rollers 55 will be moved lengthwise from the inspecting apparatus. If it is desired to return a cant, the direction of movement of chains 30 may be reversed by suitable mechanism (not shown) and the chains elevated to the position shown in Fig. 4 whereby the cant may be lifted from the rollers 55 and fed in either direction by the chains 3|]. It sometimes would be desirable to return an inspected cant to the roller. table I3, in which case the chains |8 could be reversed as well and caused to return the cant to the roller table |3 for delivery to the edger by chains M. The grader may move the cant back and forth several times as desired, and then may finally decide to move the cant onto the rollers 55 for delivery to the edger by means of. the roller table 2| and chains 22. The roller table |5 preferably is provided with suitable transfer mechanism of a similar nature which may be brought into effect to move cants onto the chains 22, which are reversible in movement, and the cants may be returned to the grading station by reversing the direction of rotation of the rollers 55 on roller table 2|. Thus a cant which may have arrived at the roller table |5 may be caught before progressing into the edger and brought back to the grading station over the chains 22 and table 2|. The cant may be returned to the edger by either conveyor system. Suitable controls under control of the grader would be provided adjacent the grading mechamsm.
The grader is stationed adjacent the grading mechanism and stands upon a catwalk 60 along which the controls may be positioned. The catwalk 60 is of sufiicient extent that the grader may walk from one end to another of a cant resting at the grading station. In order to arrest a cant at the grading station a plurality of parallel arms 6| are provided, one adjacent each of the chains 30, the arms extending from a common rockshaft 62 extending beneath the chains 30. The rockshaft 62 may be partially rotated by a lever 63 which is connected to a link 64 pivoted to a crosshead 55 mounted upon a guide rod 66. The crosshead is connected to a piston 61 extending from a cylinder 68 under control of the grader. When the piston is extended the arms 6| lie beneath the level of the chains 30 so that the chains may deliver a cant onto or from the rollers 55. When the piston is retracted, as seen in Fig. 2, a cant on the chains or on the rollers 55 may be lifted and held in elevated position by the arms. In order to hold the bottom edge of a cant tilted by the arms 6| from contacting the chains 30, a short supporting arm 10 is provided adjacent each arm 6|. The arms 10 are loosely mounted on the rockshaft 62 and each arm is connected by a link H to a lever connected to a rockshaft 12. The rockshaft 12 is partially rotated by a lever 13 and a link 14 extending to a piston 15 and cylinder 76. When the piston 15 is extended the supporting arm 10 provides a crotch with the tilting arm 6| to hold the cants above the chains so that the chains may continue to move while the lower side of the cant is inspected by the grader. If the grader desires to have the cant fed onto the rollers 55 he can lower the arms 6| and later lower the supporting arms 10. If, on the other hand, he wishes to mark the cant upon its bottom side, he may wish to turn the cant over, in which case he would raise a plurality of catching arms which are loosely mounted upon the rockshaft 62 and each of which is connected by a link 8| to a lever 82 fastened to a rockshaft 83. The rockshaft 83 may be partially rotated by a lever 84 connected to a link 85 extending to a crosshead and piston arrangement similar to those previously described associated with a vertical cylinder 86. Each catching arm 80 comprises an elongated portion extending in the opposite direction from the tilting arm 6| and a base portion 87 extend ing at an angle thereto to provide a support for the lower corner of a cant held above the chains as seen in Fig. 3. A cant may be tilted onto the arms 80 by lowering the supporting arms 10 and continuing the upward movement of the tilting arms 6| until the cant falls onto the base por-' tions 8'! and the angularly disposed portions of the catching arms 80. The tilting arms 6| may now be lowered, and when the catching arms 50 are lowered the cant will be fed forward by the chains 30 into the reach of the grader. A skilled operator of the present mechanism may turn a cant over several times in a shorter space of time than it takes to' describe the operation of the turning mechanism. In this way a skilled grader may inspect the cant for the most economical subsequent handling thereof.
Having illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention permits of modification in arrangement and detail. I claim as my invention all such modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Matt McGee posted an entry on a fairly new feature at Google Maps, that allows you to save locations for later use. He notes that Yahoo has had this feature for a while. In addition, the Google Blog has announced this feature earlier this month. I thought it would be useful to write a "how-to" save addresses at Google Maps and Yahoo Maps.
Saving Addresses on Google Maps:
(1) Go to Google Maps
(2) Sign in to Google, if you are already not signed in (link at the top right of the page)
(3) On the left hand side you should see "Recent locations" and links to the most recent places you search on. You should also see a link to "See all saved locations" under the recent locations on the left and also a link at the top right of the page to "Saved Locations."
(4) Clicking on the link will take you to a screen where you can manage your locations (add/edit/delete locations).
(5) You can also "Enable auto-saving of locations," which I believe is on by default.
(6) For more information on Google Maps Saved Locations see the help section.
Saving Addresses on Yahoo Maps:
(1) Go to Yahoo Maps (I am taking you to the beta version)
(2) Make sure you are logged in
(3) Under the "Get Maps and Directions" field for "A", if you click on the arrow down in the input box, it should show you "recent locations."
(4) To edit your recent location, in the same drop down, click on the link that says "Save/Edit Locations"
(5) You can then either clear your recent locations or manage your other locations. You can add up to 10 saved locations to Yahoo Maps.
(6) You can quickly save a location you searched on at Yahoo Maps by clicking on "Add to My Yahoo"
(7) For more information on Yahoo Maps Locations see the help section
(8) One Tip: Ten locations may not do it for you. I personally use Yahoo's MyWeb feature. I got to a specific location on Yahoo Local and click on the "Save to My Web" button. This way I can save Doctors, Restaurants, and Friends location easily. Of course, you can also add them to your Yahoo Address book.
Both Google and Yahoo have methods to send the data to your mobile phone.

You're probably looking for a day of the week calculator. Chances are you have a date in mind and you want to find out what day of the week it was. You're in luck! This nifty little website will help you solve your problem. Let's face it, it's not easy to find an old calendar just to find out what day of the week a particular day is.
It's also possible that you might be asking the question: "What day of the week was I born?" Whatever your reason is, you'll get the days of the week you are looking for.
As an added bonus, this website utilizes pages from Wikipedia to extract historical events and birthday of popular individuals. This is useful if you're creating a scrapbook and you want to know some important events that took place about a particular day.
This website is using the Gregorian calendar system as the basis for computing the day of the week. Dates before 1752 in some European countries were recorded as a Julian calendar date such as the one engraved in the above picture of a church tower in Salisbury, a city in England. (Photo credit: Alan Clarke) Just for fun. Try entering the date you see in the above picture and verify the day of the week.
Here are some interesting facts about the Julian and Gregorian calendars. When the Calendar Act was implemented in Britain, on September 2, 1752 the Britons slept using the old Julian calendar and woke up the following morning using the Gregorian calendar but it suddenly became September 14, 1752. They skipped 11 days overnight. Some neighboring countries made the switch to Gregorian calendar a few centuries earlier while others a few centuries later. For example, the Russians only adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1918. The Greeks did not switch to it until 1923 and they have to skip 13 days instead of just 11 days.
Now, let us begin with today's date. You may also enter a specific day using the form on the top bar. The year is optional and this website will use the current year if it is not given. All date and time computations are based on the server's current date and time which is Monday, July 25, 2016 04:17:44 AM UTC.
July 25: Day of the Week
July 25, 2016 is the 207th day of the year 2016 in the Gregorian calendar. There are 159 days remaining until the end of the year. The day of the week is Monday.

Police have been left embarrassed by two judges in separate cases throwing out charges against up to 28 Red Devil bikie gang members.
A judge yesterday halted drugs and firearms charges against 21 people because the police staged a fake arrest of an undercover cop. Justice Simon France ruled that the police's actions were "a fundamental and serious abuse of the court's processes".
The decision puts the Organised and Financial Crime Agency of New Zealand in the firing line again after the controversial raid on the home of internet tycoon Kim Dotcom.
Detective Inspector Grant Wormald headed both operations, and has been accused by Dotcom's lawyers of giving misleading evidence.
In a second case involving the Red Devils another judge was so concerned about a raid on club premises that he threw out charges against 28 people. Many are among the accused whose charges were dismissed yesterday.
The swoop on a barbecue at the Red Devils Motorcycle Club in Nelson was part of a two-year bid to snare gang members. About 50 people were at the August 2010 function and police suspected liquor laws were being broken.
However, in July this year Judge Chris Tuohy ruled out evidence because it was "improperly obtained" through "a series of breaches of the defendants' rights, some of which were significant infringements".
Officers had obtained search warrants to search the property but not individuals. After finding a small amount of drugs, they searched the party guests. Judge Tuohy said entry was "unlawful and unreasonable" as police chainsawed through fences despite being let through the front gate.
Judge Tuohy also said there was "no lawful basis" for the seizure of cash from guests. Some of those at the party were left with no money to get home, he said.
They were not adequately informed of their rights and were detained for a "unjustified length of time" in a cold yard in the early hours of a winter morning.
All 28 faced a charge of being on an unlicensed premises.
In the damning judgment issued yesterday, Justice France ordered a stay of proceedings in the prosecutions of 21 people arrested as part of Operation Explorer.
Undercover cop Michael Wiremu Wilson had infiltrated the Red Devils. Police faked a search warrant for a lockup he was renting in May 2010 and "found" stolen property and cannabis paraphernalia. Wilson was arrested and prosecuted - his true identity unknown to the judge, lawyers and court staff.
Earlier this year two officers told the High Court at Nelson they followed protocol by approaching then chief district court judge Russell Johnson, now dead.
Justice France later found the protocol was written after the fake prosecution, and guidelines at the time actually stated: "The police must not allow an arrested agent to appear under a fictitious name without the permission of the court. Deceiving the court is not permitted."
Christchurch barrister Steven Rollo, who acted for seven of the accused, said there were questions about whether the crime agency was directing its powers at appropriate targets.
"If you look at Ofcanz's operations in terms of the people that they've arrested, then some might say they've been a success: they've locked up some high media profile targets and an internet tycoon [Dotcom]," Mr Rollo said.
"But if you look at the nature of the underlying offending, you've got to ask is this something that a specialised organised crime agency should be looking at?"
Solicitor-general Michael Heron has 10 days to appeal against Justice France's ruling.
Senior police who committed a "fraud" on the court system by faking the prosecution of an undercover officer were bordering on committing criminal acts themselves, legal experts say.
Head of the Canterbury University Law School, Chris Gallavin, said the police actions were "bloody ridiculous".
"It's absolutely abhorrent police would go to such lengths. I can't understand where the police were coming from – it shows naivety in the extreme. I think the court's been quite generous to say there's been no bad faith."
Throwing the charges out was entirely proper. with such a massive abuse of process. "I'd go so far as to say the officers were on the precipice of committing criminal acts."
Auckland University law professor Warren Brookbanks said police had acted "very, very inappropriately. The clear message is it went beyond their brief."
Dr Gallavin said the case would probably not be appealed because it was a "very poor look" for the prosecution.
Police Association president Greg O'Connor was dismayed by the judgment. "When are these courts going to realise this is not tiddlywinks?"
Mr O'Connor said the police had acted in good faith and "once again the rules have changed. The losers are the people of Nelson, who will now have a new gang in town, strutting round stronger than ever – they fought the law and they won."
Police set out to target the Red Devils in 2009 by obtaining warrants to intercept telephone calls and text messages and to install listening devices. They also infiltrated the gang with two undercover officers posing as a couple.
In March 2011, they staged a series of raids in Nelson, arresting 37 people, including 11 people they said were members of the motorcycle gang.
At the time police said the gang and associates faced charges including drugs and firearms offences, theft and participating in an organised crime group. Police also said they seized 28g of methamphetamine with a street value between $12,000 and $18,000, 13 motorbikes, 16 firearms, two pipe bombs and other items including nine cars.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The surname Gagliardo was first found in Naples, (Italian: Napoli, Latin: Neapolis) former capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in southern Italy; it is the chief city of the province of Naples. It shares with Instanbul the claim to be the most beautiful city in Europe. Naples has 237 Churches and 57 Chapels. The National Museum and other galleries contain riches in art and artifacts. In those ancient times only persons of rank, the podesta, clergy, city officials, army officers, artists, landowners were entered into the records. To be recorded at this time, at the beginning of recorded history, was of itself a great distinction and indicative of noble ancestry.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Guagliardo, Guagiardo, Gagliardi, Gagliardo, Gagliardini, Gagliarducci, Gagliardone and many more.

In the future our ability to save dollars net shopping might have more to do with who we are, where we live and what we buy.
A website can now raise prices for a shopper from a wealthier suburb, or one who spends a lot.
The next evolution of the web, called ''adaptive web'', is personal. It allows for the tailoring of web pages based on a shopper's online habits.
Adaptive content has been most commonly used to display personalised recommendations based on a customer's online behaviour but it also allows retailers to personalise pricing.
The co-founder and chief executive of the e-commerce technology company BigCommerce, Eddie Machaalani, said variable pricing was more common than people realised.
"It hasn't hit the mainstream, but definitely a lot of retailers have done it. It is also a very dangerous topic, and a lot of larger players have shied away from it because of the public outrage that it gets,'' he said. "With social media, forums and people communicating online, word spreads, and you as a merchant would look really bad and lose a lot of clout with your customers."
In August The New York Times reported how supermarket chains Safeway and Kroger were experimenting with different discounts based on the shopper's habits. And CNN has reported that as far back as 2000 Amazon was raising its prices for a regular customer.
Earlier this year the Wall Street Journal reported that the online travel agency Orbitz found Apple users spent as much as 30 per cent more on hotels than Windows visitors so it started showing them more expensive travel options.
Amazon's chief executive, Jeff Bezos, said it was ''a mistake'' to experiment with charging different customers different prices for the same products.
A common ploy is for websites to use data that users generate online to tune prices, such as whether the shopper has already searched for a particular item.
Nigel Peach, the sales director of the specialist data company Servian, said some flight-booking sites did this.
"If you try and book a plane, the next time you look, the price will have gone up," he said.
The chief executive of the Australian National Retailers' Association, Margy Osmond, said this behaviour was unlikely in Australia due to the already heated nature of discussions about online retailing.
But many international website operators, especially technology companies, already make discriminatory pricing decisions based on the IP address of a shopper's browser (which provides a guide to where they are). This stops New Zealanders from purchasing cheaper items from international sites.
The practice has been the subject of a federal parliamentary inquiry and in June an analysis conducted by Choice found that, without accounting for tax, Australasian consumers paid an average of 50 per cent more for PC games and 52 per cent more for iTunes music.
Consumer IP addresses are not overly accurate beyond the country of origin, but less-scrupulous site operators might also capture address details that a user has entered into a legitimate website and sell them on to other site operators.
The collection of customer data can work in a consumer's favour too. Some websites issue discount coupons to encourage buyers to complete abandoned transactions, provided they have the would-be buyer's email address.

Rolex Middle Sea Race - The marking of a significant chapter
by KPMS on 3 Oct 2013
ESIMIT EUROPA 2 (SLO) approaching Stromboli at sunset - Rolex Middle Sea Race © Rolex/ Kurt Arrigo
Closing the Mediterranean sailing season with gusto, the 34th edition of the Rolex Middle Sea Race is destined to mark an important chapter in the history of a popular offshore event.
The race is in a period of ascendancy. Over one hundred international yachts have registered for the 606-nm contest commencing and finishing in Malta, and comprising a challenging anticlockwise circumnavigation of Sicily. There is every indication that the number of competitors will comfortably surpass last year's record of 82 race starters. First held in 1968 and organized by the Royal Malta Yacht Club, the race has been sponsored by Rolex since 2002.
The appeal is clear: first-rate competition, a largely Corinthian atmosphere, a fascinating racecourse – which includes views of Stromboli and Etna, two of Europe's active volcanoes – and a uniquely Maltese flavour to the shoreside welcome. The start from Valletta, scheduled for Saturday 19 October at 11:00 CEST, is one of yachting's most dramatic; cannons fire from the Saluting Battery overlooking Malta's magnificent Grand Harbour as an enthusiastic public cheers the fleet on its way.
The 2013 entry is diverse and international. The 100-ft Esimit Europa 2, line honours winner of the past three editions, will make history if she claims a fourth straight triumph. Perhaps holding more appeal for owner Igor Simcic and his pan-European crew is breaking the race record that has stood since the extreme conditions of 2007 when American George David's 90-ft Rambler finished in an elapsed time of 47 hours, 55 minutes and three seconds. This benchmark is capable of being bettered by the high-tech maxi racer, but the racecourse has a deserved reputation for being complex and the wind is never straightforward. Hasso Plattner's 86-ft Morning Glory from Germany, an overall race winner in 2006, will provide Esimit Europa's stiffest competition.
In any race of this type, the most coveted prize is for overall victory. Along with Morning Glory two other recipients of the Rolex Middle Sea Race Trophy are in attendance. Lee Satariano and Christian Ripard's J/122 Artie ended a near ten-year wait for a Maltese victory in 2011, and become the sixth local boat to win the race. Andres Soriano led his British Mini Maxi Alegre to overall triumph in 2009, following line honours success in 2008. Soriano returns with a new, 72-ft Alegre fresh from impressive performances at the Giraglia Rolex Cup and the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup.
A continuing trend that gives the organizers immense pleasure is the number of returning yachts and the spread of nations. Some twenty countries will be represented, with Italy providing the largest contingent. The Swan 56 Clem from Spain, the 42-ft Kuka Light from Switzerland and the Marten 49 Speedy from Germany are just a few of those taking part again.
Yachts representing nine countries have won the race during its 45-year history with South Africa joining the list in 2012 following Eddie de Villiers win with Hi Fidelity. With size of fleet assembling this year, few would bet against a tenth nation being added to the

Lauren Ipsum: Computer Science for Kids.
Lauren Ipsum is a children's story about computer science. In 20 chapters and ~35K words, she encounters dozens of ideas from timing attacks to algorithm design, the subtle power of names, and how to get a fair flip out of even the most unfair coin.
The book is mostly written, and Ytaelena is working on the illustrations and layout. We've been working on this project over nights & weekends for about a year and a half. In return for a signed pre-sale copy of the book, your pledges will go towards translating the book into Spanish, Portuguese, and other languages.
160 pages, dozens of illustrations. Perfect for kids. Available in paperback, Kindle and iPad in December 2011.
