This be our excellent water cooled, 60W CO2 laser etching machine with 36" x 48" work area.
Who Can Use the Laser Cutter
Members can use the laser cutter, after receiving training.
If you are doing production work and selling the results, then Kwartzlab would like a cut. Talk to a board member.
Non-members cannot use the laser cutter. However, they can make a deal with a member, and get the member to do some work for them, for a price, with a cut for Kwartzlab. Suggested pricing is $1 per minute (to be donated to Kwartzlab), plus whatever the member wants to charge for their time (eg, $50 per hour). In these cases, it should be pointed out to the non-member that it might be cheaper to join.
Software that came with the machine is LaserCut 5.3 for USB. There is a hardware key that is required to operate the software.
Inkscape is a Free and Open Source vector graphics program. It does have the ability to save to dxf files, but in order to get a good result there are some things to be aware of:
- There are two DXF export filters, both with their own features and bugs.
- One is "AutoCAD DXF R12". This is the one I currently recommend. It works by using Postscript as an intermediate format, but you don't have to set any parameters in the postscript dialog, just click through. This filter has the best support for preserving your content. It preserves colours, which turn into layers in LaserCut -- very nice if you have mixed cutting and engraving. Unfortunately, it screws up position and scaling information. You need to move the object back onto the cutting area, and scale it to back the desired height and width.
- The other is "Desktop Cutting Plotter (R13)". This one mostly works for me with default options. It preserves scale and measurement. It doesn't preserve colours. Sometimes, it deletes content and there's nothing you can do about it. If you group several objects, then duplicate or copy/paste the group, then the copy will have the "transform" attribute set in the SVG file, and it will not be exported to DXF. That's a deal breaker for one of my projects.
- Inkscape's dxf exporter only exports paths. In Inkscape, most things (like squares and circles and text, etc.) are not paths by default.
- If you highlight the things you want to export and click "Path -> Object to Path" from the top menu it will convert the selected items into paths.
- Lines in Inkscape may be given a thickness, but this will not be reflected in the output dxf.
- The resultant document will just cut from point A to point B.
- If you highlight a line and click "Path -> Stroke to Path" it will turn a thick line into 4 points, representing a shape that is the dimensions the line used to be
- This should also take care of any other line attributes you used, like rounding corners or line cap styles
- Use of Inkscape's path operations can be very helpful
- In my example I had a black square with a series of white objects on top of it to make a shape. This made a lot of path noise in the output.
- Instead, I highlighted everything (once I'd converted all of the objects to paths and performed "Stroke to Path" on all the lines) and used "Path -> Union"
- This joins all of the paths that overlap into one path that traces the outline (Don't use this for inner surfaces like holes)
- For inner surfaces, like holes, one can use "Path -> Difference" to use one path to cut a hole out of another shape.
- This is what I eventually did with my square with shapes over it. I unioned them all together, then used that result to cut the shape out of my square, leaving me with one square with a man-shaped hole in it.
- One last thing to remember, I don't know if this is typical or not, but while Inkscape shows you the border of your "page" surface, it doesn't output a rectangle there.
- If you want to cut out around whatever it is you've made, you'll need to add the border directly
After figuring this stuff out, I had pretty good results moving from Inkscape into the laser cutting software.
Using Inkscape to clean up PDFs (Trevyn Watson)
If you're like me, you get a lot of your files for lasering from sources other than drawing them in Inkscape - I've used programs to generate PDFs of boxes, and I've downloaded random drawings from the internet. Usually I end up with objects made of a bunch of little line segments instead of continuous paths. This results in non-optimal toolpathing when interpreted to gcode.
In the past, I have solved this by manually tracing the lines with a continuous path. Very tedious, not very practical, basically impossible for objects that have curved lines. However! I've just discovered that Inkscape can make it all happen automatically. It's very easy: just combine your objects into one compound path (select them, Path->Combine) (this also converts things like polylines to paths), select the path edit tool (pointer with blue nodes), click+drag to select all the nodes, and click "Join selected nodes". It seems to join each end node with the closest end node it finds. You'll know it worked if the number of nodes indicated in the status bar at the bottom suddenly gets a lot smaller. It also works for objects with small gaps - in that case, choose "Join selected endnodes with a new segment" so that the nodes don't move around.
A warning: manipulating a lot of objects or nodes can be very slow - be patient and let Inkscape do its thing. You'll especially see delays after selecting or joining a lot of nodes. Also if your paths appear to get filled in, make sure the fill is set to off.
Hmm, looks like the first thing you should do before combing anything is to turn off any fill on the objects and turn on a stroke for the lines so that you can see exactly where the objects are. This makes pre-combining fiddling much easier. In the file I'm working on now, some of the corners have little squares around them that need deleting and they weren't visible until I applied a stroke rather than a fill.
Operating Procedure
1. Prepare Artwork
Prepare a file using your favourite software. Export it to one of the supported file types. Transfer the file to a USB storage device (or use WIFI on the control computer).
- DXF (AutoCAD) -- you can export from Inkscape (for best results, refer to above guidelines), Corel Draw, SolidWorks
- From Adobe Illustator: Under AutoCAD Version, select R13/LT95 or R14/LT98/LT97; Layers are flattened.
- AI (Adobe Illustrator)
- Save as pre-CS; no compression; no extra features.
- Layers are flattened.
- PLT- HPGL Plotter file
- DST – Tajima
- NC – G-code
- Must be 1-bit B/W
- Will not be to scale, but can be resized with LaserCut (TODO: determine DPI)
2. Clear Cutting Bed
Open the front lid on the laser cutter and clear any material from the cutting bed before turning it on. This is important because the laser head will return to the home position when powered on.
Remove alligator clip if Mark left it there. TODO: more explanation
3. Power On Laser, Chiller, Air
Turn on the laser cutter by rotating the stop button to the right.
The laser should power up and beep; the chiller should turn on and hum; the air compressor should turn on and buzz.
4. Start Software
- Start up the LaserCut software. If it was already running, it will need to be restarted to re-establish communication.
- If communication fails, replug the blue USB cable.
5. Set Up Job
Import the file that you want to cut.
Set Laser Speed and Power: You can cut or engrave different parts of your drawing using different speed and power settings. Here's how. In the upper right corner, there is a table of one or more "layers": each table entry has a colour, a mode, a speed, and a power. Initially, the entire drawing is black, and there is one layer, black. You can create additional layers by selecting subsets of your drawing, and clicking on a colour icon in the bottom row, which assigns a colour to the selection. Double click on a layer to set the laser speed and power for that layer (which controls the speed at which the laser cutter will move and the amount of power that the laser will output). You should also specify a mode (engrave or cut). The laser power setting for engraving will be much smaller than the value that would be used for cutting. The settings will also depend on the type of material that you are cutting. Be prepared to use some scrap material to run test cuts until you have the settings correct.
6. Set Up Material
Carefully place the material that you want to cut onto the cutting bed. WARNING: the honeycomb bedding is fragile: you can damage it by hefting a heavy slab of material onto it at an angle.
If the material is too thick for the laser head to pass over, use the Z- button to lower the table. DO NOT PRESS Z Datum!
Use the X-, X+, Y- and Y+ buttons in the LaserCut window to position the laser over the middle of the material. Hold a button down for continuous movement.
Focus the laser. If the material is hard and flat then you can use the autofocus function. If the material is soft or thin then you must focus manually.
NOTE: The autofocus feature is currently disabled. You must focus manually.
Automatic focus
With the laser positioned over the middle of the material, press the Z Datum button from the control software. The Z-axis will rise until the sensor is triggered. The sensor is the cylindrical brass finger beside the optics. Once this is done you should manually check the focus with the focusing tool. WARNING: Do not press the Z Datum button when the laser is in home position, or the table will crash into the head. If this happens, the head will need to be readjusted. DO NOT CONTINUE IF THIS HAPPENS!
Manual focus
Lower the Z-axis, so you can place the material underneath the lower tip of the laser head with about 3 mm of space. Slowly adjust the Z-axis while using the Focus Measuring Tool to check the height of the laser head. The "Tool" is a 15mm x 58mm clear acrylic rectangle with the word TOOL engraved on it, with an overhang to mark the height of 55 mm, which is the distance from the top of the laser head to the material. The overhang on the tool is placed on the top of the laser head, and will extend down past the laser head and just sit on the material when adjusted correctly.
WARNING: Do not lower the Z axis all the way to the bottom. There is no limit switch. If this happens, the table will need to be realigned. DO NOT CONTINUE IF THIS HAPPENS!
7. "DownLoad" to Laser
Click on the DownLoad button to send the file to the laser cutter.
Click on the Del all button in the Stand-alone file manager box.
Click on the Download Current button and the file will start transferring to the laser. Close the dialog box when the transfer is complete.
Note: If you change any of the job settings, such as power and speed, you will need to repeat this procedure.
8. Verify Positioning
Click on the Run Box button while watching the cutting bed. The laser head will move in a box shape to indicate the cutting area. Verify that the material is underneath the box. If it is not, reposition the material and press the 'Run Box' button again. Do this until you are certain that the box is over the material.
Note that this shows you the bounding box of the last job to be downloaded to the laser cutter. If you've changed your job, make sure to download it again before using the Run Box command.
9. Run Job
Turn on the fume extractor using the power switch on the power bar.
Close the lid and press the Start button. The laser will start cutting the material and will beep when the cutting cycle is complete.
WARNING: Do not walk away while the job is running. Monitor the job, and be prepared to hit the red button and use the fire extinguisher if it catches fire. Tiny flames are okay, but a general conflagration may damage the laser cutter.
10. Remove Material
Open the lid. Use the Datum button in LaserCut (in the X/Y axis cluster) to move to laser out of the way, back to the home position. Remove the material.
11. Power Down
Turn off laser by hitting the big red button. Turn off the fan at the power bar on the floor.
DOs & DO NOTs
A member shall not damage the laser cutter, or by inaction, allow the laser cutter to be harmed.
- DO watch the laser while it is cutting at ALL TIMES. DO NOT walk away. DO NOT go to the bathroom.
- It takes less than a minute for a fire to start and damage the laser.
- DO load material carefully onto cutting bed.
- Try not to smash the honeycomb with the corner of your material.
- DO use common sense when experimenting
- Think ahead and be aware of any potential hazards
- DO NOT bottom out the table (Z-axis).
- There are no limit switches at the bottom and the table will become uneven, requiring realignment. If you bottom it out, do not bring it back up without verifying the table is level.
- DO NOT press Z-datum (autofocus) while the head is in the home position.
- The autofocus switch is not over the table in the home position. The table will crash into the head, pushing it up, and it will need to be realigned.
- DO NOT autofocus on soft material (cardboard, cloth, soft wood).
- The autofocus sensor will squish the material. The table will hit the head. The focus point will be incorrect.
- Instead, use a hard piece of material (acrylic, wood) of the same thickness to autofocus; or manually set the focus point.
- DO NOT lean on the cutting bed. The honeycomb is fragile.
- DO NOT cut inappropriate or dangerous material.
- You can't cut metal. (You can engrave anodized aluminum, or etch paint off of metal.)
- DO NOT put magnesium in the cutter. It may catch fire, the fire burns hot, and cannot be extinguished by normal means.
- DO NOT use plastics containing chlorine. They will release a gas that corrodes the laser cutter.
- Lexan/polycarbonate cuts poorly, and the gas gums up the optics.
- Lexan/Polycarbonate
- Vinyl/PVC
- Particle board & Plywood (or any other wood containing glue)
- Human flesh (really!)
- Anything else with chlorine in it
Maintenance for the Laser Cutter now has it's own wiki page:
- Move laser to shop, build laser room
- Buy or make autofocus assist plates of various thicknesses, for autofocusing soft material
- Aluminum/plastic plates of 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm, 4mm etc..
- RFID Access Control
- Water flow sensor for cooling unit

I shared an animation by the RSA that was given by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA's Benjamin Franklin award.
He talks about the education system and why it is failing. He also has a solution. I find this to be very interesting, but also find the illustration that accompany it to be greatly helpfull!
All of RSA's talks are illustrated in this way.
A co-worker attended me to this blog post by Christophe Courtois about something we all kinda know already: movie posters are highly formulaic, they all look alike. Still, seeing them categorized like he did sort of really hammers the fact down - and results in interesting collages! Also, check out the video blog below it reminded me of. It's somewhat older and talks about the use of the Trajan font in poster designs.
VJSUAVE makes excellent experimental urban projections.
Driving around in a car and projecting illustrations on building is always a good thing to do. Check them out.
Sorry I've been so busy I didn't have time to review this "send in october magazine" earlier. Baltasar a magazine from our well known very cold but sunny Holland or even better The Netherlands. Eva van 't Loo send me an e-mail about her new magazine. Yes a new magazine again and I'm happy with it. Nobody can stop us from making magazines Yeehaa!
Balatasar is a magazine in the form of a newspaper. And this issue is all about animals, the magazine feels a little bit like the poezenkrant because of the simplicity of the subject, animals. Just animals, animal stories, animal pictures nothing more nothing less. Design of the magazine is very estatic and all the content gets a lot fo space. This, the subject and the design, makes Baltasar a light weight magazine. And because it's the first issue I'm very curious how it will evolve with the upcoming issues. When the new issue is in, I'll let you know!
Prepare for being seasick: this fractal animation is made by Krzysztof Marczak, using the render-software by Mandelbulber.
Ro&Ad Architects were asked to design a bridge over the former moat of an old fortress. However, they thought it to be historically inappropriate to make an easy access way where once the enemy was stopped at the gates, so instead they made an invisible bridge that sinks beneath the water level. Nice concept, and it looks awesome too!

Currently on show at Huis van Marseille photography museum is Scarlett Hooft Graafland, who makes surreal photos in usually far out places. She makes small but striking additions to the otherwise desolate landscapes.I love it when strong concepts and an eye for beauty come together in photography this way.
It reminds me of Tarsem Singh's movie 'The Fall' a little bit, which is something else to watch if you're into this kind of stuff.
Cyriak is an animator working out of Brighton UK. The main reason I posted him here is because of his video's which I find awesome. Some are absolutely bizarre, and some just beautiful.
He recently received an EMA award for his music video for the band Eskmo.

Ow and check out his website, you can find loads of very nice videos:
Recent graduate of the Design Academy in Eindhoven Charlotte Porskamp presented this film project at the Dutch Design Week a few days ago. Though many a person has pointed out the various cons of putting one's private life online via Facebook, Charlotte's 'Face your Facebook' is not one such wagging finger. In her film she does take the awkward, the narcistic and the inappropriate to the extreme, but in a lighthearted and witty way that brings a smile to my face.
Students from Kyoto Seika University made posters for this 'No Nukes' initiative. Some of 'em are better than others, but on the overall it's a great collection with a lot of (natural!) energy! Check it out here: nonukeart.org
Also, I really like the logo...

An interactive installation by James Alliban and Keiichi Matsuda
Commissioned by Alpha-ville for the 2011 festival, this interactive installation plays with and proposes alternative landscapes in the technological ether surrounding our everyday movements. As our identities become deliberately constructed and broadcast commodities, our projected personae increasingly enmesh and define us. Cell acts as a virtual mirror, displaying a constructed fictional persona in place of our physical form. Composed from keyword tags mined from online profiles, these second selves stalk our movements through space, building in size and density over time. The resulting forms are alternate, technologically refracted manifestations of the body, revealing the digital aura while simultaneously allowing us escape from our own constructed identities.

Anything goes!
Did you know that dolphins are sexually very creative?
To find out the details, check out this amazing GREEN PORN movies. Isabella Rossellini's series of very short animated films about the reproductive habits of marine animals. Beautiful, informative and of course... very seductive.

Such a simple, elegant idea: make abandoned rusted bikes into public furniture by spraypainting them and planting flowers in the baskets. That's exactly what Caroline Macfarlane and Vanessa Nicholas did and they called it The Good Bike Project. Would be a nice project to do here in Utrecht, where bike wrecks are a dime a dozen...

Luzinterruptus (Latin for 'interrupted light') is a Spanish art collective that makes eerily beautiful light installations. For their most recent work 'Under nuclear threat' they made an army of scarecrow-like nuclear figures. Their ghostly appearance, a threatening death march upon their surroundings, appeals to the modern fear of what events such as occurred in Japan might do to our world.

This exhibition titled 'Savage Beauty' at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York just closed, and how I wished NYC was closer by so I could have seen it. Late Mr McQueen's famous creature-like clothing is visually stunning, technologically superb and conceptually sound. If you're familiar with his work (and you probably are), there's probably nothing explicitly new to see here, but it's still awesome eyecandy.

Congrats on both prints Bamboota! I like "Kaylee's Spacecraft Repair," but digging "Gotta Love Me" just a little more. "Firefly" prints abound while you almost never see designs featuring "Dinosaurs". And love the mash of it with Jurassic Park, one that really makes sense. -

Funnily enough I had planned to do a Kaylee's Repair shop design as a follow up to my Scotty's design, but I never got round to finishing it. I'm glad to see someone else had the same idea and really did it justice. It's a lovely piece in a style rarely seen on pop culture T-shirts. Good Job. :) -

SOAP/REST Mock Service is a simple configurable framework to mock out SOAP or RESTful (or "REST-like") Web services. Its main goal is to support automated integration testing of applications that integrate with 3rd party Web services. Functionality and usage scenarios of the mock service are in a way analogous to unit testing mocking tools (like Mockito or EasyMock). Once properly configured, SOAP/REST Mock Service exposes Web service mocks that can be called from application code and controlled via a REST interface from integration test code (setup, verify, etc.).

- SAMPLE: Quarterly Digital Intelligence Briefing: Making Sense of Marketing Attribution (582 KB PDF)
- Quarterly Digital Intelligence Briefing: Making Sense of Marketing Attribution (817 KB PDF)
Econsultancy's Q4 2012 Quarterly Digital Intelligence Briefing, produced in partnership with Adobe, is dedicated to Making Sense of Marketing Attribution. The briefing looks in detail at how organisations can overcome obstacles to success, and how they can work towards best practice.
The research is based on a survey of more than 700 digital professionals working for both client-side marketing teams and agencies, with a near-equal mix of B2C and B2B-focused companies. Survey respondents are based predominantly in Europe and North America.
The following sections are featured in the report:
- Momentum for attribution grows as marketers reap benefits
- Mobile and social drive adoption
- Single touch point models dominate but technology is evolving
- An unexpected danger; the internal politics of attribution
- 'All models are wrong, some are useful' – finding the right starting point
- Digital attribution is a great start ... but online is only part of the picture
- Looking ahead: the unifying principle for achieving success and the future of attribution
Findings include:
- Just over half of responding companies are carrying out attribution in some shape or form and a quarter are now allocating credit on the basis of more than just the last click.
- The vast majority of respondents say that attribution has benefited their organization, of whom between a quarter and a third say that the benefit has been 'major'.
- Companies with inflexible attribution systems are less than half as likely to benefit from attribution (than those with flexible systems).

Gemvara's fine quality diamond stackable eternity rings are designed to be passed down for generations, hand-made by skilled craftspeople in the United States.
Diamond Quality
Produced deep within the depths of the earth over a million years ago, a diamond is one of the most well-known and sought-after gemstones in the world. The ancient Greeks called the diamond "adamas," meaning invincible and theorized that something so beautiful could only come from the gods. Romans thought diamonds must have been fallen stars. Today diamonds have become the universal symbol of "forever" and most couples around the globe mark their engagement with a diamond ring. When shopping for diamond jewelry you must keep in mind the 4Cs: color, clarity, cut and carat weight. All these factor into the quality of the diamond. Less is more when it comes to color and clarity: the gems with the least amount of color and the fewest inclusions are the most rare and valued. On the other hand, bigger is better when it comes to carat weight: the bigger the diamond, the higher the carat weight and the more it costs per carat. Cut is arguably the most important value factor because the quality of a diamond's cut gives it its life and sparkle. The diamonds Gemvara offers are exceptionally fine: a minimum G-H in color, at least SI2 in clarity, and cut to dazzle with brilliance. Diamond is the April birthstone and the gem of the 10th and 60th anniversary. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality diamond will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine diamond jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.

Unlocking the Feasts of Israel
The Prophetic Future Concealed in Israel's Festivals. In this book, Perry Stone unlocks the prophetic future that is hidden with the feasts of the Lord. Not only is the future concealed in the ancient past; it is also hidden in the seven feasts. Discover truths many Christians are unaware of, and explore how patterns, cycles, and types are used to reveal future events!
Already familiar with Israel's feasts? You will glean fresh and inspiring insights. Some of the topics covered are:
Perry Stone is known for his End Time revelation. In this book, he lays out many essential Hebraic - prophetic insights to the season ahead.
America and the Fulness of the Gentiles. (DVD) This powerful teaching from Perry Stone covers Christian America, our relationship with Israel and our final assignment for God's kingdom. Perry clearly shows where America and its future are headed.
Mysterious Events Surrounding the Catching Away of the Saints. (DVD) Perry shares his personal vision of the day of rapture — before he had ever studied about it. It was the event that sparked much of his ministry today. In his vision he saw Jesus, lightning and people caught up in its intense flashes and then disappearing. Power shortages and darkness followed. Perry goes on to explore the keys to the rapture found in the Bible.
Perry Stone is a fourth generation minister and director of Voice of Evangelism. He is recognized as a leading author and teacher on Bible prophecy. Perry is joined in ministry by his wife, Pam. They reside in Cleveland, Tennessee.

Current Cache Types
Note: Cache types should not be confused with cache sizes. Caches of any type can have containers of any size, and vice versa.
Traditional Caches
A traditional cache is the most common type of geocache, described in what is geocaching. It is a container of some sort containing a logbook. The coordinates of the container must be posted in the cache description.
A multi-cache involves two or more locations, the final location being a physical container. There are many variations, but most multi-caches have a hint or a set of coordinates to find the second "waypoint", and the second waypoint has hints or coordinates to the third, and so on.
Offset Caches
An offset cache is a particular type of multi-cache. The coordinates for an offset cache are the location of an existing monument, plaque, or other object. Information on that object is used to calculate the coordinates of the cache container.
Mystery or Puzzle Caches
As the name might suggest, Puzzle Caches require you to solve a puzzle of some kind. Typically, the cache container is not at the posted coordinates, but is within a couple miles.
The Mystery/Puzzle type is a catch-all for caches that don't fit the other types for some reason. In addition to puzzle caches, this type includes challenge caches, many night caches, and other creative variations where there isn't an actual puzzle.
Letterbox Hybrid Caches
Letterboxing is similar to geocaching. One difference is that traditionally the location of a letterbox is described with clues rather than with coordinates. Another difference is that those who find a letterbox record their discovery with rubber stamps: a personal stamp is used to mark a logbook in the letterbox, and a stamp in the letterbox is used to mark a personal logbook. Stamps for letterboxing are often hand-carved. The stamp in the letterbox is part of the letterbox, just like the logbook, and is not a trade item.
In some cases, the owner of a letterbox has listed it both as a letterbox and as a geocache. On the geocaching.com site, such caches are listed as letterbox hybrid caches. Groundspeak's guidelines require accurate GPS coordinates to be an integral part of the cache hunt. Some letterbox hybrids also use letterbox style clues (similar to a multi-cache or a mystery/puzzle cache). Others simply list the coordinates of the container (similar to a traditional cache).
To read more about letterboxing, visit the Letterboxing North America or Atlas Quest letterboxing web sites.
Event Caches
An event cache is a set of coordinates along with a date and time to meet there. People can indicate on the website if they plan to attend, and log a "find" if they actually do. Event caches are great ways to meet people, trade hitchhikers, and swap caching stories.
CITO Event Caches
A CITO event cache is an event cache held specifically to clean up an area.
Mega-Event Caches
A mega-event cache is an event cache attended by at least 500 people.
An EarthCache is a special kind of virtual cache. An EarthCache must be educational, teaching something about earth science as it relates to an area of geological interest.
Grandfathered Cache Types
Geocaching.com no longer allows new caches of the following types, but existing caches are grandfathered.
Virtual Caches
A virtual cache has no container or log book of any sort at the cache site. They can be created in locations where traditional caches cannot be placed. Geocachers find the location of a virtual cache and then prove that they were actually there by taking pictures of themselves and/or their GPSr or by answering specific questions about the location. Listing guidelines for virtual caches vary by listing site.
Webcam Caches
A webcam cache is a location with a public web cam. Finding the cache is locating the webcam and capturing from the cam a photograph of you. Webcams can have a photograph archive system from which to retrieve the photograph. If not, you will need to have someone watching the webcam on a computer to "capture" you at the location.
Locationless Caches
Locationless caches are sometimes referred to as "reverse" caches. In a locationless cache, the "hider" posts a description of a site without supplying coordinates. "Finders" try to find locations that match the description, and they post coordinates to those locations. Not all listing sites accept this kind of cache, but terracaching.com, GPSgames.org and sightseeking.com welcome locationless caches.
Traveling Caches
A traveling cache is a cache that travels from place to place. Before Groundspeak started selling and tracking travel bugs, a number of geocachers released physical caches that finders could pick up and move to a different location. A number of these caches are still active, but new traveling caches are no longer allowed to be listed on Geocaching.com. Other sites, such as GPSgames.org, welcome traveling caches. GPSgames.org even hosts a specialized geocaching GeoPoker game that features a traveling cache.
If a finder decides to move the cache to a new location, they are required to provide updated coordinates and sometimes a new hint. Some contain a logbook and a single item, such as an action figure or stuffed animal, that is supposed to stay in the cache. Depending on their size, they sometimes contain additional trade items.
History at Geocaching.com
The following is a history of the cache types supported by the geocaching.com site.

The NYT notes the recent decline in the euro and points out some of the negative economic effects (e.g. higher oil prices), then tells readers: "more important, there is a queasy feeling that the decline of the euro makes an uncomfortable statement about Europe's chronic tendency to underperform the United States in economic growth."
Hmmm, "there is a queasy feeling." Where does one find this queasy feeling? The NYT quotes the chief executive of a German health care company who seems to feel somewhat queasy, but that is the only evidence presented in an article with the headline: "ailing Euro Seen as a Signal of Deeper Woes on Continent." They may have overstated their case somewhat.
At this point people are still combing through the fine print of Senator Dodd's financial reform bill to determine all its ramifications, however one point is very clear in assessing the independence of the new Consumer Financial Products Protection Agency. The Fed will have control over the agency's budget. This means that if the Fed believes that the agency is causing too much trouble to the financial industry, it would have the power to squeeze its budget so that it would become less troublesome.
The Post article on the Fed's monthly industrial production report told readers that "February's numbers gave economists other signs that manufacturing would continue to recover this spring, as the capacity utilization -- portion of plants used for production -- climbed to 72.7 percent from 72.5 percent."
The projections from the Fed, the Congressional Budget Office and the Obama administration all show the unemployment rate remaining unusually high for years into the future. This may cause listeners to wonder how the pessimistic view of employment growth from Lawrence Mishel, the president of the Economic Policy Institute (my former boss), became the "dissenting opinion."
--Dean Baker
Okay, it's not exactly a pension fund, it's the Social Security trust fund that is cashing in some of the government bonds that it holds to pay benefits. This is the way the trust fund was designed to work, but AP somehow cannot find a reporter (or editor) who understands even the most basic facts about Social Security or for that matter Treasury bonds, which get called "IOUs" in the headline and four times in the article. (When GE has its next bond issue, will AP report on the auction of "GE IOUs?")
The NYT told readers that: "China is the biggest buyer of Treasury bonds at a time when the United States has record budget deficits and needs China to keep buying those bonds to finance American debt."
Nope, this is nonsense. People can get the real story from today's Krugman column, China has an unloaded water pistol pointed at our heads.
Paul Krugman is absolutely right in describing the economic relationship between the U.S. and China; the United States has nothing to fear from a decision by China to stop buying U.S. government debt. However, the discussion of the U.S-China relationship may not be quite right.
Krugman has the United States meekly asking China to raise the value of the yuan since 2003, with little effect. This certainly has been the public position of both the Bush and Obama administrations. However, negotiations don't take place in public.
Japan is an extremely densely populated country. Because of its low birth rate and immigration rate, it is likely to become less crowded in the future. While most normal people would probably consider this a positive development, the Washington Post ran an Outlook piece expressing horror at this prospect.
The headline tells readers that: "even as population shrinks, Japan remains wary of immigration." It goes on to warn of a "demographic crisis," telling readers that:
That is what readers could infer from Jackie Calmes' blognote in which she listed Social Security alongside Medicare and Medicaid as "fast-growing entitlement benefit program." Social Security is projected to grow at a 5.3 percent annual rate over the next decade, only slightly faster than the 4.4 percent projected growth rate of nominal GDP over this period. By comparison, Medicare is projected to grow at a 7.0 percent annual rate.
The media reported on a 0.3 percent rise in retail sales in February, which was described as a surprisingly strong result compared with the consensus expectation of a 0.2 percent decline. However, the news was not as good as this may appear, since January's sales data was revised down by 0.4 percent. In other words, the sales volume reported for February was almost exactly in line with the consensus estimate, even though the January number is less than had previously been believed. (There does appear to be some upward movement in non-auto sales.)
It would be great if people who reported on the budget deficit for major news outlets could be required to know the basic accounting identities that get taught in every introductory economics class. The key one that almost none of them seem to know is that the trade deficit (X-M) is equal to the sum of public and private savings (T-G)+(S-I). This identity means that if the United States is running a trade deficit, then the sum of public and private savings must also be negative. That has to be true -- it is an identity. It's just like 2 + 2 = 4. It is always true.
The Washington Post is a huge supporter of trade agreements like NAFTA that put non-college educated workers in direct competition with low-paid workers in the developing world, while largely protecting the most highly educated workers like doctors and lawyers. They push this selective protectionism by calling it "free trade." They also call anyone who disagrees with their agenda of selective protectionism, which is designed to redistribute income upward, a protectionist.
The paper really outdid itself today with a front page editorial that used the term "free trade" in the headline and 7 other times in a 900 word article.
The Post had a front page article with a headline warning readers that a "new round of foreclosures threatens housing market." Yes, well actually a huge oversupply of housing created by the bubble-driven construction boom is virtually certain to push prices back down to their trend level.
Peter Peterson, the billionaire Wall Street investment banker, is devoting more than $1 billion to a campaign to whip up fears about budget deficits in order to force cuts in Social Security and Medicare. It almost looks as though the NYT has joined the effort.
It printed an article today that uses a measure of government debt that is explicitly designed to be misleading. The article reports on the debt of Greece, but then adds in a discussion of the debts of other countries, including the United States.
The Washington Post reports that Senator Gregg does not know why the government is spending money to create jobs. According to the Post, Mr. Gregg said of a jobs bill:
"Why do we keep doing this? .... Why do we keep passing debt on to our children? Why do we keep running program after program out here that is shrouded in sweetness and light but not paid for?"
Republicans voted against his approval as part of a broader anti-civil rights agenda, but the 7 Democrats who joined them ought to be mortified by their own cowardice.
Conservatives assure the poor that the health of their souls demands they go hungry.
Back-alley procedures are about to become a lot more common.
European conservatives have found ways to give conservation mass appeal. Why can't Americans find a middle ground on saving the Earth?
The Ozarks—land of hillbillies and a few vast modern fortunes—are the setting for recent literary thrillers.

Good maternity pillows are hard to find. It's all about mom's comfort when it comes to a pregnancy pillow and Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort is an excellent maternity pillow.
Sleeping on a Cloud
Today's Mom® has listened to the biggest concerns of...well, moms of course! One of the biggest pregnancy pillow problems has been hard edges digging into mom's shoulder. The Cozy Comfort has a curve shaped, shoulder support design, that contours to the shoulder and provides a soft sleep. Another problem examined by Today's Mom® is lumbar support. The Cozy Comfort correctly supports mommy's weight while she sleeps. An important upgrade mother's demanded was belly support. This maternity body pillow features a belly support allowing the tummy to rest and support the baby comfortable. Perhaps the best feature is the large, square head rest area. Other pillows feature a flimsy, oddly shaped area for the head. The Cozy Comfort's head support resembles a standard pillow to provide comfort.
Convenience You can Count on
This is one of the only pregnancy pillows designed with an easy to remove zipper-cover. Now, the pillow and case can be separated for washing. The case is machine washable. The pillow and case are made of a 50/50 combination of polyester and cotton, and a 200 Thread count percale.
Please note that due to hygiene reasons, this product cannot be returned.

I recommend this pregnancy pillow for mothers expecting !
As for all the comments about the cover - yes, it's a bit of a harder fabric but I almost prefer it that way. It is currently summer and the fabric stays very cool and does not retain heat.
Thank you
Excellant choice for all my mums and their pregnant tummies, and happy boyfriends :)
Highly recommend for all new moms!
I am a belly sleeper and I was starting to get so uncomfortable, the pillow don't let me roll on my stomach, you also feel secure on the middle of it, that my weird dreams stop, and beside the heartburn at night, nothing wakes me up!.
Not recommended for persons that hate cuddle, or are claustrophobic!. Lol
I am 5 months pregnant and have been using the pillow for two weeks.
My only complaint is that it looks much fuller in the picture, but I think it is still full enough.
It doesn't stay together like the picture shows,,, I have to reach behind myself and pull the long leg that goes along my back closer to my bottom often thru the night. It is good it''s flexible since I have to get out and pee often, so i can move the one leg out of the way to get out of the bed easily.
I do flip over from right to left back to right often thru the night, and it can be a bit difficult, and I think I wake my husband every time.
All in all I'm glad I got the pillow! I do recommend it!
I still have mid-back pain and cannot figure out how to alleviate it.
Con: It doesn't have enough neck support for me but I just use an extra pillow and it is fine.
The pillow has plenty of filling but I still use an extra pillow because I like my head elevated. I know some moms complain about getting hot, but I haven't experienced this much. I think that occurs more when sleeping on your side. It is quite large and takes up space in our queen sized bed - def would be easier for my hubby if we had a larger bed. But no matter what, I'd order it again!
took my doctors advice and "love "this pillow. i was hooked after the first night. it has helped my transition to my side , its helps the rls it gives me back support and is great to cuddle with. i ended up sleeping with it upside down and using my own pillow as i have a temperpedic, really cuz the pillow is so bif and took up my kittys fav corner to sleep. it does make the leg portion longer and that helps me. im 5"4.it stays cool, you dont neeed the cool max one plus the reviews say its cratchy and if youre gonna cover it anyway theres no point spending the extra money. it is big, i recommend a king bed if you have a partner in bed.
but i would highly recommend it for rls or any type of ra or muscle , arthritis. it alsoputs me on my side, giving the best possible blood to the heart which is important for heart patients. i did a lot of research before committing to buy this and it paid off, its awesome!!!!!
This pillow is amazing. The "roughness" of the outer cover. I do not think this cover is rough at all. It's not sateen cotton but I was worried it was going to feel like a wool military blanket. Not the case.
It is extremely comfortable and I have finally been sleeping very well since my pillow arrived two days ago. Well worth the purchase!!!
When I was about to buy this pillow, I was concerned by the reviews of the "scratchy" pillowcase. I decided if I had to make my own pillowcase, I could do it. However, after washing the case with a big dose of fabric softener I don't find the case scratchy at all. It feels like crisp cotton and is perfectly comfortable to me.
I wished I'd know this product sooner
She loves it.
The material was soft after just one wash and I am too comfortable to get out of bed!
Looking forward to lots of sleep the rest of my pregnancy!
i recommend!!!!!
Thanks for the fast service on delivery.
I then got online and found this product. I thought it looked much more supportive than the one I was using. I've used it for the past two nights and its the best I've slept since I discovered I was pregnant. Its very supportive and soft. I love this pillow and am so happy I bought it. I'm still in my first trimester, but I don't have the fatigue as much as I did before having this pillow. I think its a must-have for every pregnant woman.
My husband used it and he fell asleep right away! he loves it so I would recommend it if you're taller & medium built.
I've only had it a few days now, but I've been sleeping so much better since I don't have to get up and adjust individual pillows that have fallen out of place. When I wake up, my hips and back feel great and nothing goes numb while I sleep.
I also find that it has just the right amount of "fluff" and "firm" to keep you comfy, but fully support your back, belly and neck.
The only downside is it tends to get a bit hot since there is so much more pillow than what I'm used to.
Now she is one happy camper.
This makes me happy too. Especially now that I can also sleep cos she is not tossing and turning. : )
I have no regrets about buying this pillow.
I don't think the 'shoulder support' feature is particularly well done - but the pillow is pretty well-filled w.out being stiff or heavy. So, given that pregnany has also given me a permanently dry and stuffy nose which makes it hard to breathe when lying prone, I just added an additional pillow on top, which allows me to breathe easier and not have my shoulders get stuck in the keyhole that the pillow forms.
I don't think the pillow cover is particularly rough or of poor quality. It is fine and does not itch or anything.
Overall, there's no question that I have slept more peacefully since I got the pillow. For someone who hated the idea of not being able to return it, should things not work out, I am super relieved the gamble worked! It really does make life easier once you have to start sleeping on your side all the time.
I am the envy of my husband and friends. I use the pillow to prop myself up when watching TV as well as for sleeping. I do find you need an extra pillow under the head but that's a small price to pay for everything else it delivers.
The full support you get still allows me at 8 months pregnant to sleep on my back without any pressure to my spine. This will certainly be a gift for my next pregnant friend.
This pillow is everything it states that it is and soooo much more! I can't recommend this pillow enough. It will make your pregnancy and sleep so much better.
Worth Every Penny!!!!
Ps. I received this over night paying the standard flat fee of $7.95. I was so excited!
Customer Q&A
Thank you!
I used it for my pregnancy. I loved it. I put a sheet over it so it would be softer and used a pillow for my head sometimes as well. Hope that helps.

I would choose the Oggi because it offers more support. It is the complete body positioning system and is much fuller than the Cozy Comfort. There is also a wedge support in the head area which helps eliminate the need for multiple pillows. If you had both next to you and tried them out, I am confident you would choose the Oggi. The material is also softer which makes it nice to lay on. You are also able to prop yourself up in bed if you wanted to lay and read or watch TV.
Hope that helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us at 570-408-0800.

The Drifters
The Drifters
The history of rhythm and blues is filled with vocal groups whose names -- the Orioles, the Cadillacs, the Crows, the Flamingos, the Moonglows, the Coasters, the Penguins -- are held in reverence by fanatics and devotees. The Drifters are part of an even more exclusive fraternity, as a group that managed to carve out a place for themselves in the R&B firmament and also define that music, not only at its inception as a national chart phenomenon in the early '50s but also in the decade that followed. Their place in history is as complex as their role in it, by virtue of the fact that there are two distinct phases to their music and the continuity of their membership, and their extraordinary longevity -- only the Platters could claim as great a span of years as an active recording unit, though the latter group, due to major differences in the way they were organized, were far more stable in their membership and output. The Drifters can also claim a unique place in popular music history, as a major R&B group founded at the instigation of a record-label chief.

The healthcare laws have created a lot of discussion about the state of health care in America and also debate about who should be responsible for keeping everyone healthy. Some say the government is in no position to administer insurance policies while others point out that having policy administration be solely the responsibility of private enterprise has created a great rift in quality of coverage. Although this type of debate will likely never be resolved, the new mandates do present private enterprise with a challenge: how best to administer healthcare insurance to people in a way that is...
