Engineering Physics vs. Mechanical Engineeringby SweatingBear Tags: engineering, mechanical, physics |
Feb18-12, 02:26 PM
Hey forum
Which one can be considered "better" and why? I'm inclining towards Engineering Physics for my master of science in engineering, but I haven't really looked into mechanical engineering and was wondering what the forum has to say about it. |
Feb19-12, 03:29 AM
For any person to be of any help, you should consider providing information on your current background (bachelor's degree in what field, for example) and what you intend to do with the MS degree. No one will be able to tell you what is "better" but one may be able to suggest what may be more appropriate for your needs/wants.
Feb19-12, 07:32 AM
Almost done with high school or whatever it corresponds to in english terms (I am from Sweden). Applying for university after that and that's where I have, among others, these options.
Feb19-12, 11:45 AM
Engineering Physics vs. Mechanical Engineering
I'm afraid I can't be of much use here.
Choosing a degree subject at university is a very personal thing, in my opinion. I don't have too much parental pressure, in the sense that I can study whatever I want, as long as it's in a place where my parents can afford it. I chose to do Physics. I also don't think it's a very good idea to plan *too* much in advance. I don't know how the world will be like when I graduate in 2015. Maybe the economy will be in better shape, maybe the world will end, maybe I'll die before I graduate, etc...So, I'm just going for a relatively safe option, in that I am at least studying for a degree (something more risky would be blowing up all my money on travelling the world - sure, I could learn many things but I think most would agree that it's quite risky), while simultaneously doing something I enjoy. Useful questions to ask yourself is: 1) What kind of things would you like to work on? Both subjects have their theoretical and practical components, both degrees do have some overlapping areas. However, they are distinct disciplines and to get an idea of what they involve, you could try talking to current university students, recent graduates and people who have been working for a few years. 2) Ask them what their studies are/were like and what kind of jobs they've had and how these jobs are like. Would you like to be in that kind of situation? The odds you will end up like them. That is not to say that you will. For instance, I know someone with an English degree, everyone he knew with one was a teacher, but he decided to start a computer business (a shop) and this is what he does. You can always do something else... 3) Most importantly, you should try use some of the textbooks that the students at uni use. Don't read them all but read a little bit off of them. That would give you an indication of whether you will like the material. This is what I did and my observations were that while I enjoy most kinds of science - in fact, I like a few different intellectually stimulating subjects - to a certain extent, I happen to liked physics and mathematics more. So, I chose those. Anyway, I cannot get too specific because all that matters is what you want. I hope my own experience is of some help to you. Note that I am not in a very dissimilar situation to you. I've only recently finished high school and I am hoping to start university in the coming months. If you don't mind me asking, at what age do students typically start university in Sweden? |
Feb20-12, 06:19 AM
I am not the best person to ask because I am in a different country than you and things are likely different here. For example, I hear of this "Engineering Physics" mentioned a lot on these boards but I have never seen that degree offered in the U.S. Here, a University will generally offer a degree in Physics through their Science College and offer various Engineering and Engineering Technology Degrees through their Engineering College.
The lesson learned from my own career that I like to share with people like yourself is what I didn't realize when I was in college, that your degree must be from an accredited ENGINEERING college to get a license to actually practice engineering. Therefore, if you were in the U.S., I would tell you definitely to go with Engineering over Physics. So, my advice to you is to do some research on the accreditation process in your country and find out whether the two degrees are considered equivalent or not when it comes time to get your engineering license. It may be analogous to Engineering vs Engineering Technology in the U.S. You can get your license with either degree, but if your degree is Engineering Technology you need more work experience. That is a pretty strong indication that an Engineering degree is considered more valuable to the industry than an Engineering Technology degree. Again, I don't know if that's relevant to your situation or not, but it is an important thing to look into before making your decision. Best of luck to you whichever direction you go! |

Also, I would recommend contacting several programs to learn more about the research. |
Feb23-12, 06:32 PM
Thank you for your reply, very informative indeed! The reason why I am inclined to apply for Engineering Physics is principally because mathematics and physics is something I find incredibly fascinating and interesting. I also happen to be quite proficient in these subjects and I would most definitely love to thrive on this interest and skill of mine. But that's not the only reason. First of all, I've thoroughly investigated the curriculum and found that all the courses appeal to me and are, in fact, courses that suit me very well (obviously, there's a lot of science mainly encompassing physics and mathematics). I've spoken to a professor who in fact studied Engineering Physics himself. He has sorely advised me to study Engineering Physics mainly because of the positive prospect of getting a job but also because of the very advanced, deep and broad knowledge one receives in that program. Amidst all the other programmes (such as mechanical engineering, computer engineering etc.), Engineering Physics is the programme which has the highest admission limit (i.e. high grades are a cardinal prerequisite). It is also the programme where there deep knowledge and understanding of mathematics is emphasized. Fact of the matter is that none of the other programmes study as much as mathematics as one does in Engineering Physics (e.g. you only take Complex Analysis in Engineering Physics. No other programme offers that course). Engineering Physics is, objectively speaking, considered quite "difficult" in that sense that it is seen as a very requiring programme, but at the same time, a honorful programme to enroll for. I'd love to get my PhD after that in perhaps particle physics or something in the "atomworld" (nothing else intrigues and baffles me as much as auspicious fusionpower!). I can only deduce from these stated facts that Engineering Physics is almost a perfect choice for me, considering the circumstances and prospects. But I would love to hear otherwise from wise people here on the forum! @Astronuc: Royal Institute of Technology is coincidentally the university to which I will be applying! :) http://www.kth.se/en/studies/program...redits-1.62997 |
Feb25-12, 10:45 AM
Anyway, you seem to have already made your mind up. I can't offer any further insight, for I am a prospective undergrad student, just like you but I do hope you figure things out. Also, can you transfer to a related program once you've already started, at that university? |
Feb26-12, 10:29 PM
I'm sort of in the same situation as you.
I have spoken to a master in Electro-mechanic engineering and to a doctor in Physics, and they made the same point: Engineering Physics is more focused on research/development/improvement of the industry and its technology. Mechanical Engineering is focused on the application of these technologies, and how to improve its use. Although the mechanical engineer is very capable of researching and improving technology, the Physic Engineer's heavy math/science background is more useful in that matter. On the other hand, the mechanical engineer can find a job more quickly, and since they get more "engineering" subjects, they are more skilled in some areas. I think it is up to you: What do you like the best? |
Feb27-12, 06:21 PM
However I'm quite new to these terms—what's the difference between academia and industry? My intuition says Academia = stick around the university, teach courses you've taken and/or research Industry = go out and find someplace to do "manual labour" with your acquired skills In that case, I wouldn't mind either. Academia seems just as much as fun as industry. I'm particularly interested in researching in fusionpower, and when it comes to industry, I'd love to perhaps work for a tech-company and be part of the technological development wave that has swept us from our feets the last decade. |

The problem was it would cost $400 to get a tiny printer with ink that is probably expensive to replace. Make me a printer that I could buy for $100 and I'd have one in each room of my house and every bar would have one too. I was thinking Polaroid i-Zone when I first saw this project but of course using instagram and an iPhone.
Creator Thierry on April 29, 2012
I loved the project:
Very technical, very well designed. Beautifull.Maybe the only pitfall is that your goal was much too high (500K$): it discouraged many people.
Do it again but with a pledge of 150 000 .
This is what I would do.Thanks for this project.
Creator Marcus Frasier on April 29, 2012
Welp... they sort of asked for it...
Creator lastSKYsamurai on April 27, 2012
Same here. I'd like at least one more update to let us know what they plan to do now, now that the project didn't reach it's goal.
Creator Chris Gentry on April 27, 2012
I am curious as well if there will be any special orders. Please let us know as I would be very interested.
Creator Joseph Pascua on April 27, 2012
Sad that this won't get the full funding. I pledged the Pro pack to hoping to add something new to my business. Any chance to get this made special order?
Creator Ckycho on April 25, 2012
Damn....kind of a drag to see this might not happen
Creator DJ Paine on April 23, 2012
only 5 days to go. so sad this is not going to happen... what do we do now Breakfast?
Creator the lovely lo on April 23, 2012
I think that it is effin' ridiculous that this project isn't backed yet. I don't even own the shop I work at and I pledged for one! I mean, as much as people use Instagram... really?! Someone call Mr. Zuckerberg and tell him to fund everything!!! GEEZ!!!
Creator Aldo Valadez on April 22, 2012
I'm amazed that the Instaprint team did not rally for their kickstarter campaign. no updates sorry two, and almost no support. I guess they did not want Instaprint to happen. too bad and Sad...Best Wishes. @Rafael Pebble is rockin it.
Creator Rafael Rodrigues Colombo on April 22, 2012
6 days to go and $288000+ missing! I will use my money for Pebble!
Creator lastSKYsamurai on April 22, 2012
Nothings impossible. Projects generally spike near the beginning & right at the end, don't give up guys! We can do this : D
All we have to do is commit this week to our week of Instaprint! Social Media, Photography Blogs, friends who know friends who know friends, who know that certain someone who preferably works at Facebook, haha. Print some Posters out about Instaprint & put them around town!
Maybe ask your Mums & Dads that you want them to donate to the Instarprint kickstarter as your years Birthday/Christmas Present. Drive it People!

Creator Steven Verhoest on April 13, 2012
Does anybody knows somebody that works at Facebook?
Creator Steven Verhoest on April 12, 2012
I just upped my pledge to have 2 home kits. My sister lives in India and I would like to give her an instaprint. I would place the other with my parents. This way we they can print images to each other. But we need it to get funded first. Hope that Facebook funds all the rest of the amount. What's a mere 500K if you spend 1billion. I want my instaprints to.
Creator lastSKYsamurai on April 12, 2012
Hope everyone is spreading the word, Put some posters up around your town/City, Play the backer Video to all your Insta buddies, Hack a national News channel & stream the video, something! Over 5000 likes for this project & only 765 pledges, Get moving people! I want my Instaprint.
Creator Robert C. Raine on April 10, 2012
The acquisition of Instagram by Facebook leaves many unanswered questions that may derail this project. It would be a shame to get one of these printers only to have Facebook change, or end Instagram and render this product useless?
I would like to hear from the project team regarding the ability to update the software after release (i.e. if Instagram goes away, could this printer pull images from Twitter?).
This uncertainty has given me pause to reconsider my pledge. It would be a shame if this hardware became obsolete before it was even released. the lack of interaction by the project team is worrisome
Creator Rafael Rodrigues Colombo on April 9, 2012
I've just tweeted, at @iRafaelColombo: "Now that Mark Zuckerberg acquired INSTAGRAM, it's time to support INSTAPRINT at KICKSTARTER. http://kck.st/Av7rIe". I hope the next 20 days may be better for this project.
Creator Meir Israel on April 9, 2012
Instagram just got acquired by Facebook for $1 Billion.............c'monnnnnnnnnn kickstarters!
Creator Harry on April 9, 2012
That would be fantastic news!
Creator Carleton Torpin on April 8, 2012
Those wondering why the team is not updating their project page should be aware that this project is likely going to be produced regardless of their funding on Kickstarter; hence the perceived apathy. It wouldn't be that difficult for a company like this (with a nearly ready-to-go product) to find an outside investor or two and begin commercial production. They likely expected a larger influx of backers initially and now they've just relegated their Kickstarter project to the back burner. I could be wrong but they don't seem too keen on jumping on this comment to correct me... :(
Creator SEXCoffee on April 7, 2012
This product seems like it would be awesome! And a great device to have on tour so that fans can print photos at shows!
Creator Matt on April 6, 2012
I just reduced my pledge from $399 to $1. Love the idea but I can't see how the team is ever going to produce the product if they can't provide their backers with an update.
Creator Harry on April 4, 2012
I certainly don't want anyone to pull their pledge. I just wanted the team to really generate some buzz. Its a great product. I'm a backer. I want more backers so they make their goal. I want them to really try their best to make the goal happen.
Creator oxoboxo on April 4, 2012
I'm really hoping now that Instagram has landed for us Android users, more buzz for this will be created and this thing actually happens!
Creator Aaron Miller on April 3, 2012
I agree with Harry. I'm pulling my pledge. It's a great concept, but the team doesn't seem like they're really invested in making this happen. They're certainly not active with this community. It makes me wonder how they'd be with follow through if it were funded.
Creator Christopher Parthier on April 3, 2012
Just went straight for the Home Kit and promoted it on ma blog - hope that helps to get the much needed money to make this product a reality
Creator Harry on April 3, 2012
Great job? If I was trying to raise money, I'd be on this comment area constantly. They have not responded to anyone in weeks in this comments section. I see no form of promotion taking place to get the word out. What an awesome concept and product. It's a shame that nothing is done to promote it by the team. Very strange.
Creator lastSKYsamurai on April 2, 2012
It's a shame really. I wonder how many potential backers were lost when they thought the home kit didn't have wi-fi! Shurly Kickstarter will allow you to fix this mistake!!!???
Also please add Hipstermatic & PicFrame support : D
Other then that, great job guys!!! If I didn't live on a small Island with 1800 other people mostly farmers I'd spread the word about this (other then with facebook) & spread posters & notes all around Melbourne City!!! So I encourage everyone else who can to do so!!! Let's help Breakfast get their goal.

All the best - fingers crossed!
Creator Harry on March 23, 2012
Are there any videos of it in use at a real event? I'd love to see it in action!
Creator Harry on March 23, 2012
1. When I receive an instaprint, can I be "self-suffient"? Meaning.. will there be any other ongoing charges per picture or per upload to the servers? (I'm not talking about the cost of buying paper).
I want to buy the machine. But my paper. And use it without having to have to pay any other ongoing fees in order to use it.
(I hope my post makes sense).
Creator Robert C. Raine on March 23, 2012
I am really looking forward to seeing this project get funded. On the off chance that it does not get funded is there any way for you to produce some kits?

We need some backers here!
Creator J.L. Branham on March 21, 2012
Quick question, if this doesn't get funded will we still possibly see this come to fruition in the future? I'm worried that I won't get to use this great product in the future.
Creator Alex Camacho on March 19, 2012
This thing is awesome so i really hope you reach your goal.
Creator Romy Kraus on March 17, 2012
Good luck guys. Absolutely loving it.
Creator Aaron Miller on March 16, 2012
As it says in the FAQ, "Absolutely." The home kit includes wifi.
Creator Becca Nichols on March 16, 2012
The home kit IS wifi, right?? Definitely want/need it to be WIFI! I'll be using it for jobs, despite not wanting an entire "Small Event Kit."

Best of luck and enjoy SXSW!
Creator BREAKFAST on March 12, 2012
Hey all. Thanks for all the great comments. For those looking for more answers we've updated the FAQ section at the bottom of the project page. If you still have more questions feel free to send us a message directly. They make it a bit tricky to answer them here. Thanks!
Creator Joshua Scott Koskinen on March 10, 2012
for all asking.....the home kit DOES have a wifi module. At the bottom of the kickstarter page they answer that question.
Creator Jason Pearson on March 10, 2012
This is a grand idea.. retail will frenzy over this when news spreads... if you build it, they will come. Rock n' Roll, guys!
Creator Dennis Pousette on March 10, 2012
I'm also interrested to know how the home kit works without the wifi-module?!?
When there is more technical info on how to operate the Instaprint and what you can change yourself (or maybe the fonts etc are limited to the pictured sent from the Instagram?) then I'm probably going to up my backing from $5 to $399 :)
Thx for an awesome project!

A Klitschko Brother Gets His Hardest Fight In Years, But Still Tops Dereck Chisora
Vitali took the early rounds in typical Klitschko fashion, smartly controlling distance and dropping jabs, straight rights and left hooks on the forward-pressing Chisora. The pressure, though, was having an effect. One of the judges saw Chisora getting an even round against Vitali in the first four, but I thought the 5th was the first round Chisora won. He was landing a lot of thudding body shots, and he connected with the hardest blow of the round overall. The 6th was relatively close, as was the 7th, two rounds I had them splitting, first Vitali then Chisora. The 8th was maybe the only round I've seen since the Lennox Lewis fight where Vitali clearly lost it -- Chisora was a ball of fury in that round, swarming Vitali.
Vitali recovered some to win the next few rounds fairly handily, but Vitali looked tired. Some might be inclined to blame his age, 40. Maybe it could be that. But I mainly blame Chisora doing all that body work. In theory, it's what people ought to have been doing to the Klitschko brothers all these years, but it's easier proposed than implemented. The difference for Chisora is that he absolutely wasn't scared of getting hit by Vitali, and he did a lot of good bobbing and weaving and working in the clinch. It wasn't nearly enough -- Vitali's still so skilled and tall and more physically gifted than he gets credit for that he ultimately won the fight with relative ease, even after giving away the 12th round.
Vitali, next, could face David Haye, although Haye will tell you Vitali doesn't want it. But the face-spitting thing, no matter how uncool it was, may line up Chisora for a fight with Wladimir. That's a mighty intriguing heavyweight fight -- if Chisora can connect on Wladimir like he did Vitali, which is also easier said than done. But remember when we hoped Haye would inject some juice into the heavyweight division with his antics and potential ability to compete with the Klitschkos? Turns out we had the wrong Brit. Turns out it's Chisora.

It has been a hot summer and another great one at the North Fork Swimming Pool located south of Hotchkiss at 333 Bulldog Lane. Close to 7,500 people used the pool this season, with lap swim, water aerobics and swimming lessons continuing to be popular.
Earlier this year a new, more energy-efficient pool boiler was installed, saving money on both heating and maintenance in the future. Thanks to a great staff and to everyone who made it to the pool this year.
Also, for the first time this summer, the North Fork Pool, Park & Recreation District, in conjunction with the Helping Hands Program, hosted the Summer Lunch Program. It was a huge success, serving over 1,700 meals to kids. Helping Hands is currently looking to secure funding to continue the program next summer.
In late August the North Fork Pool, Park & Recreation District applied for a Greater Outdoor Colorado (GOCO) grant to rebuild the Apple Valley Tennis Courts in Paonia. GOCO grants require a 30% cash match. To meet this requirement, the District was joined by pledges of support from the town of Paonia, Delta County and the Friends of Apple Valley. COGO will announce the grant awards in December. If successful, the project will be implemented this spring.

Is one of these shank styles capable of more heavy duty work or is the shank style the only difference between an SDS MAX and a spline type shank like in a Makita HR4041C rotary hammer.
The shank is is not what makes a good tool.
pwrrrrrrr, BALANCE, Vibration, etc - this is what makes a good tool.
I've never used the HF units, but there seems to be a couple recommendations on that on your other thread.
For budget, look at Bosch. For a bigger budget, go with Hilti.
Again, hammer drills get used HARD.
I'd skip the used market and just look new.....

FOG ALERT! Our products contain many quality features (regarding durability, ease of re-covering, hygiene, etc.) and are made with a variety of options (many standard and custom dimensions, choice of firmness, adaptations for those with special needs, etc.), which are described below in more detail than many people want to read. If such matters are not of special interest to you, you may prefer to go to an abbreviated form of this page, by clicking here
Note: the pictures on this website can best be viewed on a computer in a dimly-lit room. (In a well-lit room, some pictures may appear too dark.)
sofas & chairs made to fit
Our loveseats, chairs and sofas are non-bulky, compact and well
suited for small and medium-sized spaces (unless you choose our
large-scaled options), We make every couch design in your choice
of many lengths, and our standard frame depth is only about
33" (30" deep is an option). This
narrower-than-average, relatively small-scale sofa depth is still
comfortable for most tall people (as well as for shorter people).
All of our furniture is made in America, which is increasingly uncommon; and that's only one of many features (described later) that contribute to the eco-friendly nature of our products compared with imports shipped in from the other side of the world.
For sizes and pricing: Each of the next seven links below takes you to a page describing the particular model pictured. When getting near the end of each of those linked pages, you'll see a paragraph that shows sizes and prices. (For sectional sofas, illustrative prices are noted in the running text.)
Our Custom 05 contemporary sofa model (shown above right) comes with our very wide range of custom options along with heavy-duty hardwood frame construction, high-quality cushioning, and relative ease of replacing the fabric covers. The custom options provide personalized comfort, optimum use of your space, and beautiful addition to your decor that can't be obtained with mass-market furniture. The quality construction and materials, along with economy of re-covering, provide long-term value as well as environmental benefits that aren't otherwise available. You won't need to order our small or less-deep (shallow) sofa dimensions in order to allow access via a narrow entry, since these couches arrive in the form of relatively flat components which are then easy to assemble. Click on this link to see more pictures, features, sizes and pricing of these upholstered contemporary Custom 05 sofas and chairs.
Wood-Frame Sofa and Chair Models:
Ease of re-covering, combined with extra-sturdy, solid-hardwood structure, means that this furniture is especially renewable, sustainable, very cleanable (with hundreds of our fabrics), and economical in the long run. Each couch, loveseat or chair is made to order in your choice of thousands of fabrics (or provide your own), and many optional and custom dimensions are available for these couches. Also, every wood sofa or chair can be ordered in your choice of many wood stains that produce a mild grain effect. The structurally important parts of the exposed wood as well as the interior structure of every sofa are solid oak wood.
The "padded arm wrap" that you see on the left is (1) optional, (2) removable, and (3) easy to re-cover. It is available on any exposed-wood model except the Virginia model. Note that it can be positioned either to completely cover the wood arm top or else to leave enough of the wood exposed at the front to provide a secure hand grip on the wood (see below, left)
Our Florida model (on both sides and just below): This is the least expensive of our exposed-wood sofa models, yet it is essentially as sturdy as the others, has identical cushioning and support, and is available with all of our custom options; it also is somewhat more open below, allowing even easier cleaning below. Click on this link for more information (including pricing) about this Florida wood sofa model
Contemporary Wood Sofas and Chairs: Our California model.
This wood sofa model is especially adaptable to many different
decorating schemes, depending on your choice of fabric and wood
finish. It's also one of our two most practical models, for ease
of changing covers. Shown: 80" sofa, with optional padded
arm wraps. Click on the following link to see more pictures,
features, sizes and prices regarding these California
model contemporary wood sofas.
Country, Scandinavian, or Contemporary Sofas: Our Virginia model.
Shown at right: 59" loveseat (one of several two-seat sizes),
and below: 83" sofa, one of several three-seat sizes.
This is the only exposed-wood model that does not have
the option of an exposed-wood arm top. Click on the following
link to see more pictures, features, sizes, pricing and
other information about these Virginia
model Scandinavian-styled sofas, loveseats and chairs.
Shown on the loveseat on the right, available on any of our contemporary sofa models: Puffy cushions. A link farther down this page will lead you to more about this option and about our softer and firmer cushion and support options.
Modern or Contemporary Sectional Sofas and Home Theater Furniture in Custom Sizes
Sectionals can be made in any of the designs shown above, and in
your choice of many sizes on each side. Our sectionals are
especially popular with families, with people who have
difficult-to-fit or very large rooms to furnish, and with people
who are setting up home theaters. Click on the following link for
other pictures and information (including examples of prices)
regarding our sectional contemporary sofas, or go to that section just to see how our
different designs, wood stains and fabrics fit into a variety of
For sizes and prices: Each of the links above (after the first one) takes you to a page describing the particular model pictured. When getting near the end of each of those linked pages, you'll see a paragraph that shows sizes and prices. (For sectional sofas, illustrative prices are noted in the running text.)
Contemporary armless sofas, loveseats and chairs can be made in combination with any of our design, dimension and firmness options, or an armless side can be placed at one end of any of our couches, loveseats or chairs. Click on the following to see information and prices regarding our armless sofa and loveseat options ,

There are two other higher-priced exposed-wood designs that we don't show pictures of here because they are so expensive to make that, if we showed them, most people would be turned off by the prices. It then becomes fixed in the customers' minds that Comfy 1 is outside their price range, so they just look elsewhere without ever really considering our less-expensive models. From our perspective, that's worse than if they had never seen the expensive models, so we try to avoid showing those to most people. But, recognizing that some people are willing and able to pay a lot for just the right look (these models are about $1000 to $1600 more per sofa or chair than the other exposed-wood designs), we do show those models in an out-of-the-way location, on the page that's linked at the end of this paragraph. Bear in mind that these models are no more durable or comfortable than the other models, they just require much more careful, precise, one-at-a-time hand workmanship and more expensive solid oak wood. We hope you won't go to this page unless you're prepared for prices that are high compared with our other models: click here,
We also make matching ottomans, fully upholstered as well as with exposed-wood legs, in many standard sizes as well as in custom sizes.
DIMENSIONS, including many custom dimensions:
Most people like our
standard dimensions. For details about our standard
dimensions, as well as about custom lengths
and customer's choice of back heights, click here,
Any of our sofa, chair and loveseat models and sizes can be made with the seats and whole frames higher than normal, for the long-legged or for those with difficulty getting up. Click on the following link for more information about high sofas, loveseats and chairs.
We also offer less-deep (shorter front to back) sofas and chairs, for the short legged or for the space-challenged. Click on the following link for information about less-deep sofas, loveseats and chairs.
For sizes and pricing: Each of the links above (after the first one) takes you to a page describing the particular model pictured. When getting near the end of each of those linked pages, you'll see a paragraph that shows sizes and prices. (For sectional sofas, illustrative prices are noted in the running text.)
If you like to keep up with evolving color preferences, or to modify your decor to create a bright, fresh look once in a while, or to express yourself artistically in your furniture and decor, keep in mind that with our furniture you can change the covers at very moderate expense.
And, with our huge fabric selection, you'll almost certainly be able to find just the right patterns and colors to go with the other elements of your decor.
Several of our customers have mentioned that we offer a very unusually great selection of beautiful fabrics, in contrast with the relatively meager selections that they had previously found while looking extensively for furniture in major metropolitan areas. See the "Fabrics" paragraph and link below, for more information about fabric possibilities.
A new addition to our line: Headrest cushions, which can rest on top of our back cushions, with special means of securing them in place. For more information on this option,. click here,
All of our furniture is unusually durable and practical, with heavy-duty construction that permits decades of heavy use, For details about our extremely durable construction, click here. For information about economical replacement covers and cushions for furniture made by us, go to www. comfy1.com/replacement.htm
Long-term Economy resulting from outstanding durability and renewability: This results from nearly-indestructible construction combined with ease of replacing covers and cushions. Neatly-fitting replacement covers for one of our three-seat exposed-wood sofas (sorry, they don't fit other companies' sofas) are $210-$248, complete, in one of our base-priced fabrics, or in a range between those prices and up to $400 in a huge selection of fabrics (obviously, some fabrics are higher). If you know how much it costs to re-cover or reupholster ordinary sofas, and how often that would be needed in many cases, you can appreciate the long-term savings with this furniture. Replacement covers for our fully-upholstered sofa models would be higher than for our wooden-frame sofas, but still far less than neatly-fitting covers would cost for typical furniture. To read comments from many of our customers who have written us and purchased replacement covers and cushions after two and three decades of use, click here.
Any of the above wood stains, plus three others, are available on any California, Virginia, or Florida model or matching table or ottoman. Our stains are carefully applied and provide better-than-average (but still imperfect) uniformity of color. And the exposed wood surfaces will be free of dark streaks and noticeable defects. The wood grain as shown on our furniture is milder than is typically seen on oak, but still very visible. We also can paint the wood any color to order, using thinned enamel (allowing good penetration as well as some visibility of the texture of the oak grain) ,with two coats of polyurethane on top of the enamel. To see our complete range of wood stains and their names, click here,
Our "Pet-Safer Sofa"(R) has features that make it especially pet friendly, as shown here, including (1) an exposed-oak frame in our Florida model (although similar practicality would also be available in our California model, at higher prices) and (2) no padded arm wraps (although people sometimes order the padded arm wraps and just remove them at times when the pets might damage them). If the furniture could be located away from a wall, people also usually order (3) the all-wood back option. And customers typically also order a fabric that's smooth if they have cats, or possibly one that's especially stain resistant and durable (such as the Crypton (R) fabric shown here) if they have dogs.
Also, the fact that the fabric-covered parts can be economically re-covered makes all of our furniture pet friendly.
For more details about the practicality of our furniture with pets, click here.
It's suitable for almost any hard use, while still being inviting, comfortable, and good looking. It's effectively contract furniture that looks and feels better than typical contract furniture. Whether in a nicely-furnished fraternity house, or a well-used waiting room, or the TV room of a fire and rescue station, or a care facility where hygiene is important, your people will be comfortable on furniture that lasts. To see pictures of our furniture that's in use by many organizations where it gets hard wear and tear, click here.
Comfortable, Non-Sagging Support: Our standard cushion filling is medium firm, and firmer (or softer) cushioning and support is optional. Our medium-firm or firmer support options are especially appreciated by people (including elderly and handicapped) who like good support, who have back pain, who are unusually heavy, or who have difficulty getting up from ordinary furniture. For more on this topic, click here.
This is green (sustainable, environmentally-responsible) furniture: Buying our eco-friendly sofas and couches, by reducing pollution, waste of non-renewable resources, and unnecessary energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases compared with alternatives, is a very earth-friendly way to furnish your home. For details, click here.
When looking at competing furniture in stores and online, you should be aware that most upholstered furniture you'll find these days is made in China, even though that will not be openly acknowledged. There are good reasons why they don't want to admit it, and good reasons why you should know about it. The furniture manufacturer that describes itself as the biggest-selling brand in North America (Ashley) has most of its furniture made in China, although they are not forthcoming about that fact. If you go into a store selling inexpensive (but nice-looking) sofas, and ask a knowledgeable person who is not on his guard, he or she might acknowledge that it's made in China. For why you should want to know this fact, read on:
American manufacturers, including Comfy 1, are subject to laws and regulations that protect the environment and promote consumer safety and worker welfare, while also adding substantially to costs of American-made goods. And there are tremendous costs of imports that are not being paid by importers or their customers, in the form ot tens of thousands of deaths resulting from shipping pollution (for information on this, if you haven't already read it, click here). Additional major costs are merely being passed on to future generations: These are the costs to the environment and to the future of the world caused by excessive use of petroleum and by carbon emissions and other pollution resulting from shipping bulky sofas half-way around the world to the U.S. Also, if you buy a sofa made on the other side of the world, think what kind of service you'll be able to get on it if there's a problem after you've paid for it.
If you have questions and don't care to keep going through this website to seek the answers, please call 1-800-659-0436, leaving a message and a number to call back if we aren't there at the time, or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com .
Most of our couches, loveseats and chairs are ideal for senior citizens, for those with special needs, for elder-care facilities, and for almost anyone who has difficulty getting up from sofas and chairs. Click here for more information about sofas and chairs for the elderly or handicapped and for those with difficulty getting up.
Entry into almost any room: Do you have a room that could make an ideal den or other living quarters if only you could get a sofa through the narrow door or stairway? You need look no further for the solution to that problem. All of our models are easy to disassemble for moving, as well as to re-assemble. Even one of our large sectionals can be gotten through essentially any entry, including into rooms accessible only by narrow stairways or around tight corners. They are shipped or delivered to you in the form of components, which we assemble if we deliver them.. For more on this subject, click here.
Any of our exposed-wood models can be made with an all-wood back, at an additional charge (except that in sectional sofas, we do not offer an all-wood back in the 32" square corner unit ). The all-wood backs, as well as the all-wood arms and front rails of three of our models, are especially popular with our customers who own cats.
For sizes and pricing: Each of the links at the top of the page (after the first one) takes you to a page describing the particular model pictured. When getting near the end of each of those linked pages, you'll see a paragraph that shows sizes and prices. (For sectional sofas, illustrative prices are noted in the running text.)
This furniture is also unusually durable and practical for families with children. For more details, click here.
Cleanable, hygienic, relatively non-allergenic, high-water-resistant features: For details, click here.
Our furniture is better suited for use by the handicapped than most furniture on the market, since (1) it's firmer than average and easier to get up from than typical sofas and chairs, (2) it's almost indesctructible, with most models guaranteed for ten years with no weight limitations (as long as you inform us of intended occupants over 400 pounds), and with easy-to-replace covers and cushions, (3) we offer a wide selection of liquid-repellant and stain-resistant fabrics, and what's below the cushions is also easy to keep clean, and (4) we offer many custom dimensions that make our seats still easier to get up from than those in our standard dimensions, including special heights, firmer cushioning, and less-deep seats.

Heating/air conditioning efficiency: If you have a heat/air conditioning source located behind or below where a sofa will be located, you should compare our exposed-wood sofa frame designs, open at the bottom 5 - 6", with those of normal sofas. The more efficient passage of warm or cool air will be obvious.

Sofas and chairs suited for big or tall people are an important part of what we offer. For more information on that click here.
Our non-bulky, small scale sofa and couch dimensions and options are what fill the needs of many people. There is information about sizes at various places in this web site, but to see several examples of our furniture made as small sofas or sectionals, click here.
A sample seat is available that we can send to you to try sitting on if it isn't convenient for you to come to our showroom, and if it's important to you to test how our furniture feels to sit on. It would normally come by Fedex ground, you would pay only part of the shipping charge (total of $40 for customers in Eastern and Central time zones, $80 in Mountain and Pacific zones, payable in advance, and the charge is creditable toward the cost of an order placed). It will feel the same to sit on as our regular sofas and chairs with the wood base below the seat, although it won't look normal. And we can include some riser blocks to raise it up, and/or sample of a firmer seat ($30 additional shipping charge to send a second seat cushion) so you can feel what it would be like if we made a sofa higher or firmer than standard. It won't look good, but that is compatible with our expectation that you will return it to us within a few days. To see what this sample seat will be like, click here
FABRICS as well as faux leather and (possibly) real leather: We offer heavy-duty fabrics in almost any color and in many patterns, as well as a huge selection of all kinds of fabrics, with swatches available on request- - (but your request must be specific). Our selection is probably wider than you can find from any other company, especially if you include the fabrics that you can see in our suppliers' web sites, and if you consider the fact that you can provide your own fabric. For more details, click here.
Ottomans: We also offer matching ottomans. One of our custom-size ottomans can also serve as a table or as a chaise longue , while allowing more flexibility of room layout than would be possible with a fixed chaise. For more information and pictures (and for reasons why we don't offer recliners), click here.

For sizes and pricing: Each of the links at the top of the page (after the first one) takes you to a page describing the particular model pictured. When getting near the end of each of those linked pages, you'll see a paragraph that shows sizes and prices. (For sectional sofas, illustrative prices are noted in the running text.)
Warranties: Our furniture is covered by warranties that are far superior to what you will find from almost all other furniture suppliers. We offer a ten-day money-back satisfaction guarantee on our products , and beyond that a ten-year structural warranty and a ten-year supporting-quality warranty on cushion filling apply on all but the FineFit model. Full statements of our guarantees are in our printed product literature, available on request, and are also on this web site. To read them, click here.

Q: Do you offer sleep
sofas, recliners, or tables?
A: No. In order to be able to operate reasonably
efficiently and insure high quality, we have to specialize in the
line that you see shown in these pages.
Q: Do you offer
down/feather-filled cushions?
A: No, for very good reasons. To read these
reasons and to read also about our cushioning options, including
"puffy" cushions (if you haven't already read that
section), click here.
Q: If it isn't convenient
for me to come to your showroom, how can I tell how it feels to
sit on your furniture?
A: By means of a sample seat that we can send
you, at no cost to you. See "sample seat" just above
the "Fabrics" paragraph, 9" - 12" higher up
on this page.

options under your sofas?
A: Yes. For details, click here.
Q: Why isn't this
furniture -- or furniture like it -- sold in normal stores?
A: For the answer to this, click here.
Q: Do you offer welting
A: No, for good reason. To read about that, click here.
We specialize, in order to
assure high quality and reasonable production efficiency.
We don't offer: (1) sleep sofas, (2) slip covers or

Since customers sometimes have a very hard time finding us a second time: If you like what you see on this web site, please bookmark it or write down our web address (www.comfy1.com) and a few words to remind you of what we are, and file it for future reference (stuck to the refrigerator door often works well). Or File/Save this page as a file to your desktop or other page where you can find it again.
Our furniture can be ordered directly from the people who make it, without a middleman's markup, providing out-of-the-ordinary design, customization, and high-quality, eco-friendly construction, at prices like those of much of the typical, disposable, mass-produced furniture in retail stores. If you are outside our normal 3-6 hour direct-delivery range, be aware that we ship almost anywhere, at moderate cost , (our furniture is well adapted for shipping, being easy to disassemble and re-assemble). In addition to those who order by phone or e-mail (after requesting fabric and wood samples), many people come to our Fredericksburg, Virginia workshop/showroom, just off I-95 about 45 minutes south of the Washington beltway. Regardless of whether you order from afar or at our showroom, bear in mind our satisfaction guarantee (see above).
There is lots to do in our neighborhood in addition to looking at furniture. Fredericksburg is a major tourist destination, with many well-maintained historic sites (especially ones dealing with the Civil War period), and with much picturesque architecture of earlier periods, right off I-95, an hour south of Washington, D.C. (with all its monuments and national museums). There are also very scenic routes that lead to our area, especially from the south and west. For preview pictures of what you can see in Fredericksburg, plus links to other tourist information, including a free tourist guide, click here.

We invite you to check us
and our competitors out by
1) inquiring at the Better Business Bureau where they are
located. From 1998 to 2003 we were within the area of the BBB of
Eastern Tennessee. Since then we have been within the area of the
BBB of Central Virginia. They won't have any information to
report about us because (a) there have been no
complaints about us, and (b) we
haven't seen fit to pay their expensive dues in order to get them
to create an actual report about us (they said they would give us
their highest rating if we would just send them a check for
2) checking for warnings from dissatisfied parties (and sometimes
kudos) that can often be found by doing a web search using (for
your search terms) the company's name followed by
"furniture", then bypassing the websites issued by that
company. There are also special websites such as complaints.com
and yelp.com to which you can go directly to find records of
complaints. (Admittedly, while telling you this we know that
there are no unfavorable comments about us, and we're very
confident that we will keep it that way).
If you're considering a purchase from one of our competitors, you owe it to yourself to consider some of the points mentioned in www.comfy1.com/competitors.htm
In addition to those who order by phone or e-mail, with moderate delivery or shipping charges to almost anywhere, many customers come to our showroom at our combined workshop and sales location just north of Fredericksburg, Virginia, about 45 minutes south of the Washington Beltway, about 1 1/2 miles off I-95. For directions to this showroom, with limited open hours: click here. Please don't come without first calling, at 1-800-659-0436.

Salve Regina's 80-acre campus is one of the most unique in the country, offering what the National Trust for Historic Preservation has described as a "tour of the great architectural works of the Gilded Age." The campus is set on seven contiguous estates and features more than 20 historic structures that have been sensitively adapted to meet University needs while also preserving their status as treasures of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The ocean-side setting, however, offers more than a glimpse of the past. Surrounded by rare trees, tide pools and museums, the campus provides access to exceptional learning opportunities for students in many disciplines.
Viewed as a "living laboratory," Salve Regina's campus is an extraordinary environment that enriches the city of Newport and contributes to the artistic, cultural, economic, educational and historical vitality of the state of Rhode Island.
Create your own virtual tour experience by clicking on any of the buildings at left, or join Salve Regina students Lindsay and Jivanto for a guided tour of 11 of the University's flagship buildings.
An English communications major with minors in film studies and creative writing, Lindsay is also a writing consultant, staff writer for Mosaic and the Department of English work-study. Her most memorable Salve Regina event was the Dance Marathon, where she and her fellow students spent 18 hours in Ochre Court and raised almost $13,000 for Hasbro Children's Hospital.
A double major in administration of justice and business administration, Jivanto is also president of the Student Government Association, a Resident Adviser and member of the Campus Activities Board. He loves the small daily reminders of the close-knit community that is Salve Regina.
Founders Hall is a prime example of the unique living experiences available at Salve Regina.

CHARITIES Footnotes
A 19th-century transcript of a deed records that John Wright and his son John gave to Anthony Luther and others, parishioners, part of the lord's waste next to Kelvedon Common, with the cottages thereon, to be the site of parish almshouses. This appears to be the real origin of the charity which by 1786 was called Jane Luther's Charity in the erroneous belief that it had been established by her will in 1745 (see below). The original endowment may have been supplemented by an exchange made in 1786 by which the parish received a small plot inclosed from Kelvedon Common in place of another plot on which a cottage formerly stood. This was probably the cottage on the road to Beacon Hill which according to a vestry book extant in the 19th century was given to the parish in 1644. (fn. 36) This exchange of 1786 may explain the statement made in 1835 that the property of the charity was received about 60 years before from John Wright of Kelvedon Hall in exchange for some small pieces of land formerly belonging to it.
There is no clear record that the cottages were ever used as almshouses, though it seems possible that they were rented by the parish officers for use as a poorhouse. (fn. 37) In 1834 the property was all let: it consisted of four cottages on Kelvedon Common, and land adjoining. The whole income was £21 10s., and after deduction of expenses it was distributed on the first Monday in the year to all poor married parishioners in equal shares. Between then and 1929 there was little change in administration. In 1951 the field was sold to the village hall committee for use as a recreation ground. The proceeds were invested in stock. In the same year the rent due from the cottages was £34 12s.; but for many years there has been no profit from rents and a demolition order was pending in 1953. (fn. 38)
Poor's Cottages were probably built in the 17th century and consist of a timber-framed T-shaped block, partly plastered and partly weather-boarded. There are gabled dormers in the tiled roof. These are undoubtedly the four cottages of 1834 and earlier.
At some time in the 18th century it was believed that 40s. was due to the parish by the gift of Anthony Luther (d. 1627) but there is no record that this was ever paid.
By her will proved in 1745 Jane Luther of Suttons (in Stapleford Tawney, q.v.) gave £2 17s. 6d. a year issuing from a farm in Little Warley to be distributed in bread three times a year to the poor of the parish. In 1834 bread was distributed twice a year with preference to widows. By 1857 the rent was being paid from the Suttons estate. It was redeemed in 1950 for £115 stock.
In 1786 it was stated that an unknown donor gave a rent charge of £1 10s. to the church and the poor of the parish. In 1834 Charles Dolby of Brizes held a lease from 1789 at £2 10s. a year of 'the property of this charity', consisting of an acre of land in his park. In fact the endowment must have been the land itself, not the rent, and the land was certainly sold in 1860 for £200 which was invested in stock.
Louisa Dolby, by will proved 1868, left £100 dutyfree in trust for the benefit of the poor. The legacy was paid in 1876, together with £28 arrears of interest, and was invested in stock.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries these charities were in practice administered together. From 1855 the three earliest shared trustees. By a Scheme made in 1929 all four were combined to form the United Charities. Their income is to be spent for the benefit of the sick and poor, chiefly in gifts in kind and gifts to hospitals serving the parish. In 1951, after payments for expenses, the income was spent on the cottages belonging to Jane Luther's Charity, and in gifts in cash to six persons.
Richard Thomas Lagden, by will proved 1866, left £7 a year for the purchase of coal for the poor families of the parish. Lagden's wish that the money be paid was not, however, binding, and the bequest consequently became invalid.

9 tips for avoiding suspicious Web sites
Editor's Note: This article was updated on 5/8/09 from a previous version published on 3/3/08, and the original, published on 12/15/06.
No matter how you arrive at an unsafe Web site, it's all downhill from there. Phishers will attempt to coerce you into disclosing your address, credit card number, or social security number. Or maybe adware engines will start sprouting pop-ups over your screen like a field of clover. Worse, your computer may become part of a botnet, its processing power used to send spam and infections to others, possibly even in … Read more

The full Senate is expected to vote today on a bill that would make teacher evaluations private under the state's public record act.
Education officials have argued the evaluations are already private under personnel rules, but they want to make sure they are not considered part of the public record.
Open government advocates oppose the idea of exempting teacher evaluations from the list of public documents. A companion bill in the House is still in committee.
A bill scheduled for debate Wednesday on Smith Hill would make student test scores no more than one third of a teacher's annual evaluation. The bill's sponsor is Senator Michael McCaffrey, a democrat from Warwick. The measure is slated for a hearing this afternoon in the Senate Education Committee.
State education Commissioner Deborah Gist is slated to discuss Rhode Island's controversial teacher evaluations during a panel discussion this morning at the Fordham Institute in Washington, DC, a conservative public policy think-tank.
Rhode Island Education Commissioner Deborah Gist speaks directly to teachers about a controversial new evaluation system. The video first appeared on YouTube earlier this month.

It seems to me learning how to use the terminal is a prerequisite to learning how to use Ubuntu. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to learn. Is there a Quizlet online flash card set out there? A better way?
You can add the following line (command) at the end of your
Every time you open the terminal you will learn something about a random command. If you want some fun, you can use
Then add the following line at the end of your
Or you can add the above line as alias in
Whenever you get bored, you can type in terminal: |
I used to play with For example, type Before I execute any command, I hit it with If For example, Google gives you so much info here, sources inside Ask Ubuntu and outside. Here, LMGTFY: best way to learn terminal commands on Ubuntu |
Yes, Terminus is once such game that will help. There is a live version here, and the code is on github. It's a neat idea, although I rather wish the code was more easily extensible. |
I do not know of any games, however there are some useful command line utilities that help. What does a command do?
How do I?
How do I use?
Or, some utilities support a help option, such as:
These may be in the form of For information:
If you have something specific you need to accomplish, Google is your friend. Otherwise there are many books, such as the Bash book from O'Rielly. |
Take a look at command line fu You can browse some cool command line snippets, and if you want deeper understanding you can read the manuals of the commands they use. |
Ubuntu was designed to be very user friendly. Learning how to use the terminal is not a prerequisite to learning how to use Ubuntu. It is, however, if you want to become a power user or troubleshoot problems yourself. To answer your question, I don't know of any games designed to help or teach shell commands, but I would highly recommend the following resources bash and system administration related: Please note that this tutorial uses Red Hat (another Linux distribution) and references some directories that only apply to students of the University of Surrey. Hosted at The Linux Documentation Project (http://www.tldp.org/), author Mike G A wikibook from Wikipedia
GNU Bash Reference Manual Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide (http://linux.die.net/), author Mendel Cooper |
You've got tons of games on http://overthewire.org. The easiest is Bandit, "aimed for absolute beginners". |
There is a game for learning the VIM commands at http://vim-adventures.com/ which I recommend. I get my apprentices to play it on their first day :-) |
The Memrise Tool has a unix and linux command line section. It's a great tool for learning anything in a punch card manner. |
The Linux Documentation Project is having the best and updating sources for learning BASH. Ubuntu Community have collected all the good links which are very much helpful to learn BASH |
There is the game Uplink. It's been quite fun and threre are pretty good similarities to a linux shell. But it's got its own commands as well. |
The best tool I have found for long term memorization and learning is Anki I use create cards in Anki that require me to type the answer, rather than simply a flash card. It builds the muscle memory. Additionally I perform 15 minutes of training every morning and Anki will sort my cards based on the ones I need to review. |
In the early UNIX days (v6 and v7) (yes before Linux), there was a series of very simplistic tutorials under the command called So now it is quite easy, basically go to Google, either find some documentation posted. Or use amazon to find an appropriate book. Amazon even has ratings and reviews on their books. |
Well, most of the basics I learned when Linux was still mostly command-line based and SUSE was one of the few Linux with GUI-based installation. I played around with Gentoo these times...just install your system with some tools like pm-sensors and stuff, soon you're back in the terminal for some configuration I don't know if there is still a distro that is installed via command-line, as I stopped working with Linux till a month ago, when I found out they finally made the step to getting GUI-based and interesting for Users, great thanks to all programmers out there, that made a lot of my old PCs useful again!!! Stupid MS simply IS too stupid for maintaining their best product any longer...Windows XP...a company that does that, surely is not considering to get an OS fully stable and safe...and in case of Win 7 they may got it very stable and secure, but it takes way to much resources to do so. Really love the Linux way off controlling hardware without huge compilers or interpreters or other stuff in the way, like on Windows. But if you want learn more about Linux, Gentoo is a great way of building up your own system, step by step and also learn how Linux works. Gentoo also is able to run on nearly everything, no matter how small the hardware resources, so you can take a other, older PC for these Linux, install-test, fun times! |
Not exactly a game, but there is this site, where you can learn several different commands. |
Not a game but take a look at http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs124/kwc-unix-for-poets.pdf It covers sed, awk and grep besides others and shows you how to count, sort, compute ngrams etc. It has exercises and all. I've referred to it again and again. |
Not a game, but comes handy when you want to learn some command and no linux is available: rextester |
The matrix for game cube is where I learned quite(relative to my 13 year old prior knowledge) a bit about the UNIX terminal. There was a mini-game where you'd "hack" your way into the matrix to drop guns off for pickup later when you are playing that level. Actually bar far one of my favorite features of any game ever. |
inx (is not X) can be used as live cd and teaches terminal stuff in a fun and interactive way |
I guess bandit is one of the best to learn and understand more about Linux commands and knowing more about linux for beginners. You can get the link from here |
