Washington's volcanoes get more scientific scrutiny
About 75 geophysicists from around the world are boring 23 holes into Mount St. Helens this weekend so they can create seismic waves and measure sensors.
The Associated Press
Washington's volcanoes are getting some enhanced — and high-tech — scientific scrutiny this summer.
This weekend, about 75 geophysicists from around the world are gathering at Mount St. Helens to bore 23 holes into the mountain so they can create seismic waves with small explosions equivalent to a magnitude 2 earthquake.
They also will be locating some 3,500 new seismic sensors all around the volcano.
The new measuring devices mark the final preparation for a big volcano mapping project that scientists say will enable the equivalent of an ultrasound and CT scan of the volcano's internal plumbing.
"Mount St. Helens and other volcanos in the Cascade Range threaten urban centers from Vancouver to Portland, and we'd like to better understand their inner workings in order to better predict when they may erupt and how severe those eruptions are likely to be," said Alan Levander of Houston's Rice University, lead scientist for the experiment.
Meanwhile, a study of Mount Rainier's internal plumbing system was published this past week in the science journal Nature.
Researchers from Utah, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Norway used seismic imaging as part of an effort to look at the ways rocks and liquids affect magnetic fields in the Cascade Range, Seattlepi.com reported.
The "images" they made captured the way magma is fed into a reserve 5 miles under Mount Rainier that will be tapped eventually for eruptions, said geophysicist Phil Wannamaker of the University of Utah.
"But it does not provide any information on the timing of future eruptions from Mount Rainier or other Cascade Range volcanoes," he said.
Wannamaker said the magma reserve appears to be 5 to 10 miles deep and 5 to 10 miles wide from east to west. The north-to-south dimensions can't be determined because the researchers took only a sliced view of the system.

See Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Aged T-800 From 'Terminator: Genisys'
Posted on Monday, November 24th, 2014 by Russ Fischer
The most recent batch of Terminator: Genisys pics (really, the first official shots representing the movie) were not well received. Neither was the plot description that went with them. There's a sense that all parties involved have some real damage control to do. Which is why it is odd that a pretty good image of Arnold Schwarzenegger in makeup as the aged T-800 has been half-hidden on the lot at Paramount. Studio lots often have such hidden early images and promotional gems, but most aren't as useful to their productions as this one could be. Read More »

I have a different view of this. The group fomenting the troubles at the wall will tire out after the cause célèbre dies out if ever. By that time the Temple will have been rebuilt and a whole new round of bupkis will begin, as the Kotel returns to what it was, a retaining wall. I consider the fuss over the kotel to be the next thing to idolatry. Is the wall of importance? Yes. Is it a religious matter? No.
Photos taken taken from the mid nineteenth century until the Six Day War show no mechitzah whatsoever. The ultra-Orthodox have appropriated this retaining wall as their own and if you disagree you're an apostate at best and an antisemite at worst. Your loaded cartoon is designed to stimulate baseless fears and is unworthy.
Before 1948 we weren't permitted to put up a mechitzah, because the British, and before them the Ottomans and before them others were in charge. From 1948 until 1967, we weren't permitted to pray or be there at all. 1967 was the first time, in modern times, we had the opportunity to put up a mechitzah, and we did.
One of the women leading this is Dr. Phyillis Chesler, a well known, and well regarded columnist. I urge you to read some of her work , before passing judgement…. From where I stand, our community is struggling enough to keep itself together…. If women (who in many cases) are more devoted to Judiasm then men want to be part of history (the Wall in Jerusalem Is historic) they should have that right…
There's no such thing as ultra-Orthodox, just Observant, Orthodox, Chassidic, or whatever level or style of Observance of 3,325-yr-old Judaism. Can't Observant Jews pray at their own holiest site in the world, the place where Observant Jews offered sacrifices to God for 900 years, without any other group disturbing them, regardless of the nature of the outside agitators? That's the point of the cartoon you want to ignore because of your blind hatred for the ultra-Orthodox. According to your logic, anarchy is preferable. Observant Jews aren't always wrong, ignorant, or evil, or do you not believe that?
Can't Observant Jews pray at their own holiest site in the world, the place where Observant Jews offered sacrifices to God for 900 years, without any other group disturbing them, regardless of the nature of the outside agitators? Or, do you prefer anarchy?
And Jesus said that when you pray, be not like the hypocrites who like the highest places in the market place to be seen by men." Does the Lord G-d not weigh the hearts of mankind? and like in our church they believe if you give a woman an inch she will take a mile, therefore no preaching of woman from the pulpit.

A carpenter square having a tape holding section adapted to receive tape measure housings of varying width. The tape housing engages a curved section and one leg of the square, and can be clamped in position. A slot is provided through which the tape extends for measuring and marking. The square is also provided with a positioning bar slidably mounted on the other leg of the square for non-perpendicular cuts.
1. A carpenter square with tape holding means comprising:
(a) a square having first and second legs arranged perpendicular to each other,
(b) a tape holding section mounted on one of said legs, said tape holding section comprising a flat base on which the tape housing is supported, a straight side wall portion spaced from and parallel to said one leg, a curved portion which interconnects said side wall portion and said one leg, said curved portion having therebelow a slot the bottom of which is in the same plane as said base so that a tape can be directed through said slot for measuring purposes, whereby tapes having different size housings can be inserted between said one leg and said side wall portion, in contact with said one leg, and the leading edge of such a housing moved into contact with said curved portion to position such housing in contact both with said curved portion and said leg, and
(c) means carried by said side wall portion for contacting the adjacent side of such tape housing positioned as aforesaid for holding such tape housing in such position.
2. The carpenter square of claim 1 wherein said means carried by said side wall portion for contacting the adjacent side of the tape housing comprises a set screw extending through a threaded opening in said side wall portion, the leading end of said set screw being adapted to contact the tape housing and firmly hold the same in place.
3. The carpenter square of claim 1 further including a slot formed in said one leg of said square to permit access to the adjacent side wall of the tape housing for manipulation of a tape return button.
4. The carpenter square of claim 1 wherein said first and second legs are arranged in planes perpendicular to each other, with said second leg being secured to said first leg approximately intermediate the height thereof, said second leg being generally coplanar with the flat base of said tape holding section, whereby the square can be placed on the material to be scribed with both the second leg and bottom of the base of the tape holder contacting the same.
5. The carpenter square of claim 1 further including a positioning bar slidably mounted along one edge of said second leg, said positioning bar including a recess adapted to receive the edge of said second leg, and a threaded opening for receiving a set screw by means of which the positioning bar can be clamped in the desired position on said second leg.
6. The carpenter square of claim 1 wherein said straight side wall portion of said tape holding section comprises a flange extending perpendicularly upwardly from the outer edge of said flat base, with said flanged side wall portion merging into a curved wall portion, which in turn merges into a further straight wall portion perpendicular to said flanged straight wall portion, with said slot being below said curved and further straight wall portions.
The present invention relates as indicated to a carpenter square provided with holding means for a tape measure.
It is frequently necessary when using a carpenter square to use along with such square a tape measure or other measuring device for accurately measuring the location of cuts to be made in the material, normally wood. Even when working at ground level, the simultaneous or sequential manipulation of the tape measure and square presents some difficulties, and these difficulties are greatly magnified when the user is positioned above the ground, for example, on a semi-completed building structure, for laying out rafters.
It is therefore highly desirable to combine the square and tape measure into a single working device so that the measured distances can be marked prior to cutting, without necessitating the separate use of the square and tape measure. An example in the prior art of a combined square and tape measure is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,571,569 to W. Greenwood, with the square comprising an opening on one side thereof which can frictionally receive the tape measure when lying flat. To use the tape, it is moved so as to be perpendicular to the plane of the square, in which position the end of the tape can be extended longitudinally relative to the side of the square on which it is mounted.
A similar combined square and tape measure was developed by applicant, with the square being provided with a separate compartment into which the tape measure could be placed on end for extending the tape relative to the square to obtain properly marked measurements.
In both applicant's prior device and that of Greenwood there were significant disadvantages. Perhaps the foremost was the inability to accommodate tape measures of various sizes and shapes. Tapes vary significantly in the width dimension, and the inability to satisfactorily accommodate tapes of varying width is a decided disadvantage. Moreover, in the Greenwood device, the opening provided in the leg of the square is particularly adapted to only a particular size tape, thereby rendering the square totally useless for tapes either larger or smaller than such opening.
With the above in mind, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a carpenter square particularly adapted for holding tape measures of various sizes and widths. In accordance with the invention, the holding compartment formed integrally with one leg of the square is provided with a side wall portion which extends parallel to the leg of the square, and a curved end portion which extends from such straight portion to the leg of the square. In this manner, the tape measure, regardless of width, can be moved forwardly within the tape holding section to contact the curved surface on the tape holder thereby to provide stability for the tape. Means are additionally provided to secure the tape measure in its mounted position within the tape holding section after the tape has been mounted as above described. In this manner, the tape measure can be positioned to achieve the greatest stability, and thereafter locked in place. The curved section of the holder above referred to is formed with a continuous slot which is aligned with the opening of the tape housing through which the tape extends so that the tape can be freely extended from the housing in the normal manner.
A further objective of the invention is to provide a square of the type described having the further feature of a positioning bar adapted for sliding movement along the edge of the other leg of the square. In this manner, the positioning bar can be adjusted for scribing along the edge of the leg of the square on which it is mounted, with this feature being particularly desirable for cutting rafters or the like where the cut is at an angle relative to the longitudinal side edges of the material.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a tape holder section formed with an opening by means of which an automatic return button forming part of the tape can be reached and depressed for tape return. The tape return button is a feature found frequently on more expensive tape measures, and the provision of an opening in the tape holder permits such return to be operated without removal of the tape from its mounted position within the tape holder.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent as the following description proceeds in particular reference to the application drawing.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view, partially fragmented, showing the positioning of the carpenter square of the invention on the material to be marked or scribed;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of the carpenter square, showing in more detail the tape holder section;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the carpenter square and the positioning bar, showing the manner in which the square is used for the marking or scribing of rafters, and
FIG. 4 is a top plan view showing the manner in which the positioning bar is slidably mounted along the edge of one leg of the square.
Referring now in more detail to the application drawing, where like parts are indicated by like reference numerals in the several figures, the carpenter square is generally indicated at 10 and includes a first leg section 12 and a second leg section 14 securely mounted in any suitable manner to the first leg section. It will be noted that in reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the leg section 12 is disposed on a vertical plane and the section 14 in a horizontal plane, with the latter being secured to the leg section 12 approximately intermediate the height thereof, for a purpose which will be more apparent as the following description proceeds.
The leg section 14 contains the normal indicia 16 for measuring along such leg section. An opening 18 is provided at the opposite end of the leg 14 to permit the square to be hung on a belt or the wall of a shop or similar environment.
A tape holder generally indicated at 20 is mounted on the leg section 12. Referring to FIG. 2, the holder comprises a flat base 22 integrally or otherwise secured to the leg section 12 and preferably being coplanar with the leg section 14. The tape holder further includes a straight side wall portion 24 which in the form shown constitutes a flange extending upwardly perpendicularly from the flat base in spaced predetermined distance from the leg 12. The flange merges into a curved wall section 26 which in turn merges into a straight wall portion 28 which extends generally perpendicularly to the flange 24 and secured in any suitable manner to the leg 12 at the juncture thereof. As noted, the wall portion 28 is abreviated in height so as to provide a relatively wide slot 30 through which the tape can extend during use of the device as shown in FIG. 1.
It is common knowledge to those in the art that tape measure housings come in a great variety of widths, and it is impractical from a commercial standpoint to provide an inventory of carpenter squares with tape holding attachments wherein the side wall portions 24 are spaced in varying amounts from the leg 12 to accommodate various sizes of tape housings. An important feature of the present invention therefore resides in the providing of a tape holder which is adaptable to receive tapes of varying width, and to securely maintain each tape housing, regardless of width, in the tape holder. To achieve this end, a set screw 32 is provided which extends through a threaded opening in the side wall 24, with the set screw preferably being formed with an enlarged pad 34 at the leading edge thereof to provide a larger contact surface area for retaining the tape housing in the tape holder.
FIG. 1 illustrates a tape housing 36 mounted in the tape holder 20, with the housing 36 being of typical width and supported on the flat base 22 of the tape holder. It will be understood that most tape housings are formed with a flat base. The leading edge 38 of the tape housing engages the curved wall section 26 of the tape holder, with the opposite side wall of the tape housing engaging the leg 12. Thus, the tape housing can be positioned on the flat base 22 and moved forwardly as far as possible until contact is made with the curved surface 26. The set screw 32 is then tightened to firmly engage the adjacent side wall of the tape housing 36 to firmly retain the tape housing in its mounted position in the tape holder. The tape 40 can be withdrawn from the tape housing 36 in the usual manner, with the slot 30 below the wall portion 28 of the holder accommodating the dimension of the tape. It should be noted in this regard that the width of the slot 30 is such as to accommodate virtually all widths of tape housings. It should further be noted that the spacing of the flanged side wall 24 from the leg 12 is such as to accommodate essentially all tape housings currently being used by carpenters in the field.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a positioning bar 42 is slidably movable along the leg 14 of the square. Referring to FIG. 4, the bar 42 is formed with a slot 44 which receives the edge of the leg 14, and a set screw 46 with an enlarged adjusting head 48 extends through a threaded opening provided therefor in the bar 42 into firm contact engagement with the leg thereby to retain the positioning bar in the desired position along said leg.
The positioning bar 42 is particularly adapted for use in cutting rafters wherein the angle of cut is not perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the wood. FIG. 3 illustrates the manner in which the square is used for this purpose, and it will be noted that the leg 12 is supported at one area on the edge of the rafter, and the positioning bar at a second point. A line can then be scribed on the face of the rafter so that the proper angle of cut can be made. It will be apparent that the angle of cut can be easily established simply by moving the positioning bar 42 along the surface of the leg 14, and retaining the bar in such position. If square cuts are to be made, that is, cuts perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the material, the positioning bar can be entirely removed from the leg 14 so that the flat leg 12 rests on the surface of the rafter. Where steeper angles are necessary, the bar 42 can be slid further down the leg 14 and positioned in place.
As previously noted, the plane of the flat base 22 of the tape holder 20 is the same as the plane of the leg 14, thereby facilitating the placement of the square for rafter cutting as shown in FIG. 3. A substantial area of the leg 12 is able to contact the top of the rafter, while the leg 14 can be pressed flat against the side of the rafter, thereby providing an accurate mark.
Occasionally, tape holders are provided with an automatic return button which, when depressed, automatically withdraws the tape into the holder. To accommodate operation of these return buttons without requiring removal of the tape housing from the tape holder, the leg 12 of the square is formed with an elongated slot 50 which is positioned to be in alignment with the location of most of the return buttons adjacent the base of the tape housing. When the return buttons are positioned above the leg section 12, operation thereof is obviously not a problem.
It will thus be seen that the invention is particularly designed to handle tapes of all sizes and shapes. The provision of the curved wall section 28 permits the tape holder, regardless of width, to engage a point along such curved surface, with the side of the tape holder positioned contiguous the leg 12. This contact, in conjunction with the tape housing resting on the flat base, provides a stable mounting, which can be maintained by tightening the set screw 32 into firm engagement with the adjacent side wall of the tape housing. The slot 30 below the wall portions 26 and 28 is of sufficient height and width to accommodate the tape from virtually all tape housings, regardless of width, whereby the tape can be easily paid out or returned to the tape housing in the normal use of the square. As above described, the mounting of the tape on the square greatly facilitates the measuring process and avoids the separate handling and manipulation of the square and tape measure. The square is further adapted for rafter cutting through the provision of a positioning bar slidably mounted on the ruler leg of the square. During the measuring and cutting of rafters, the tape housing can be removed from the tape holder since there is not need for measurement, and the positioning bar can be quickly and easily removed from the ruler leg of the square when the tape housing is reinstalled in the tape holder for normal right angle cuts.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/643,260 filed Jan. 22, 1991, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to magnetic disc apparatuses used for information memory, and particularly relates to a specific type of magnetic disc apparatus designed to maintain an optimum humidity in a head disc assembly.
Conventionally, this type of magnetic disc apparatus generally utilizes a contact-start-stop (C.S.S.) drive. This drive is carried out such that a head for recording and reproducing information contacts a disc medium when it is stationary, and the head floats over the medium through an air film (air bearing) due to an air flow being generated during the rotation of the disc medium so as to effect recording and reproducing. In this drive, the head surface and the medium surface must be maintained flat precisely in order to improve the floating performance of the head and to avoid head clash.
However, when the head disc assembly (hereinafter, H.D.A.) contains air having relatively high humidity, the head tends to cling (i.e., adhere) to the medium when the head surface is placed in contact with the medium surface. This phenomenon has been reported in Japan Lubrication Society, the 33rd Spring Research Conference Brief, 1989, Andou and Miyamoto, "Affect of humidity to frictional characteristic of magnetic disc and slider." For this reason, conventionally desiccant is disposed inside the H.D.A. to remove moisture within the H.D.A. to prevent clinging.
Recently, intensive study has been reported about the relation between the generation of wearing and damage of the medium and the internal humidity of the H.D.A. in various papers such as Japan Lubrication Society, the 33rd Spring Conference Brief, 1989, Kouzu and Yamaguchi, "Influence of testing circumstance on lifetime of magnetic disc", and Japan Lubrication Society, the 34th National Conference, Toyama, Brief, 1989, Katsuno, Ueda and Tanaka, "Wearing and damage of magnetic disc (5)." According to these reports, the interior of the H.D.A. should be preferably maintained at a relatively high humidity in order to suppress wearing and damage of the medium. Namely, an excessively dry condition may cause wearing and damage of the medium.
In the above-noted conventional magnetic disc apparatus, while the interior of the H.D.A. is controlled at an optimum humidity degree during a stationary state to avoid clinging, the interior temperature rises during an operating state so that the relative interior humidity degree decreases to cause wearing and damage of the medium.
Further, when the H.D.A. stops operation, a contact stop is effected while the interior temperature increases and therefore the relative humidity degree is held at a low level. Namely, in the conventional magnetic disc apparatus, the head is made in contact with the medium in quite a low degree of relative humidity, thereby disadvantageously causing wear and damage.
This phenomenon is qualitatively described hereinbelow with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 shows a change in the degree of relative humidity in a sealed air space in terms of temperature. This sealed situation simulates an enclosed H.D.A. having no desiccant and no intake opening. According to the graph. of FIG. 4, 40% RH of air at a room temperature of 25� C. is changed to 7.5% RH of quite dry air at the operating temperature of the H.D.A., for example, 55� C. Moreover, 60% RH air at the room temperature may be changed to less than 13% RH of air at the operating temperature to produce a considerably dry state. Besides, this air may develop water dew (e.g., moisture) at 15� C., and therefore cannot be used practically. In order to avoid development of water dew, the relative humidity must be set below 20% RH. However, this condition becomes an excessively dry state of less than 5% RH at the operating temperature to cause a dangerous condition. The practical H.D.A. device is actually provided with a breathing filter communicating with the atmosphere, and a desiccant. However, the breathing filter has a moderate flow rate capacity so as to regulate a pressure difference between the interior and the exterior of the closed H.D.A. Hence, it is not sufficient to instantly remove the outstanding dry condition. The desiccant adversely works to develop this dry condition.
In order to solve the above noted problem, the inventive magnetic disc apparatus is provided with humidity adjusting means operative when the interior humidity of the closed H.D.A. exceeds a predetermined level to absorb moisture and operative when the interior humidity falls below the predetermined level to release moisture.
FIG. 1 is a partial front sectional view showing one embodiment of the inventive H.D.A.;
FIGS. 2A and 2B are graphs showing changes in temperature and humidity inside the H.D.A. during the course of operation thereof in terms of time;
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the relation between the static friction coefficient and the relative humidity, measured when a disc medium comes in contact with a head;
FIG. 4 is a correlation graph between relative humidity and temperature in an enclosed air space; and
FIG. 5 is a graph showing a water-retaining characteristic of silica gel.
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described in conjunction with the drawings. Referring to FIG. 1, a base plate 1 has a box shape provided with a breathing filter 7 having an orifice. The breathing filter effects exchange of air between the interior and the exterior of the base plate. An H.D.A. is disposed inside the base plate 1. A spindle 2 is provided to support a plurality of superposed magnetic discs 3 to rotate the same. An arm 4 is provided to hold a magnetic head 5 which is driven by a carriage 6 through the arm 4 to move over the magnetic discs 3 to effect recording and reproducing of information. A humidity adjustor case 8 is disposed in the common spacing which also contains the H.D.A., and contains a humidity adjustor 9. This humidity adjustor 9 operates to effect humidity control through an orifice 10 provided through the humidity adjustor case 8 and a filter 11.
In this embodiment, the humidity adjustor 9 is composed of silica gel, which is provisionally treated to retain a given amount of water. This water-containing silica gel is utilized to maintain a constant relative humidity around the H.D.A. Namely, this water-containing silica gel works to establish equilibrium at a given relative humidity. Accordingly, this water-containing silica gel functions to absorb moisture to establish the equilibrium condition when the humidity rises over a certain degree, and functions to release the moisture when the ambient humidity falls down. This equilibrium condition is determined by the water content of the silica gel and the interior relative humidity. This water content of silica gel is determined by the ratio of a weight of water contained in silica gel and a weight of dried silica gel. Generally, in view of the relatively small volume of the H.D.A. interior and the water content of silica gel, the water amount contained in the silica gel is significantly greater than the water amount contained in the space of the H.D.A so as normally to maintain a constant humidity ambience.
However, this ideal regulation is realized by the quick absorbing and releasing performance of the water-containing silica gel. Namely, this function must be effected instantly to substantially maintain a given relative humidity while abrupt temperature change occurs. Hereinafter, the term "response" is defined to refer to a time needed to absorb or release a differential amount of water to reach the equilibrium condition. Actually, the response depends on the inherent or specific feature of silica gel and the arrangement of the silica gel.
When the silica gel is disposed in a closed spacing as shown in FIG. 1, the absorption and release of moisture by the silica gel is effected at moderate speed, thereby hindering the response. Therefore, when the interior temperature varies in the H.D.A., actually the relative humidity changes. The adjusting function of the water-containing silica gel may not respond quickly to this change such that the humidity control is actually effected in a certain range. In view of the foregoing, the optimum water content of the silica gel should be suitably set so as to realize an acceptable range of the humidity change which is determined by the nature of the humidity adjustor used and its arrangement.
FIGS. 2A and 2B show changes of humidity and temperature measured in an H.D.A. which utilizes a humidity adjustor in the form of silica gel of a JIS standard A type which contains water at 17% by weight. The H.D.A. is initially held at approximately 25� C. When the H.D.A. starts operation, the disc medium starts rotating to raise the interior temperature of the H.D.A. Since the H.D.A. is highly sealed, moisture is not substantially exchanged between the inside and the outside. This measurement is conducted in two examples which have different sizes of the orifice 10 in the humidity adjustor casing 8 to differentiate air flow rate to set different responses.
FIG. 2A shows a result of the measurement conducted during a transient period from the start of the H.D.A. operation to a time when the interior temperature reaches a constant level. Example A has a single orifice 10 having a 20 mm diameter. In example A, the humidity gradually decreases while the temperature increases. Subsequently when the temperature approaches and then reaches the constant level, the humidity increases to reach the original level. Namely, example A has a certain response sufficient to prevent an over-dry or an over-wet condition, though not to perfectly follow the temperature increase.
On the other hand, the comparative example B has a single orifice 10 having a 0.6 mm diameter. This comparative example B has insufficient response so that the humidity cannot be returned to the original level even after a lengthy period.
FIG. 2B shows a result of the measurement conducted in a period after termination of the H.D.A. operation. In this measurement, example A shows a certain response of moderate degree to maintain finally about 30% RH. In turn, comparative example B has an insufficient response in only moderating the humidity change by the adjusting operation.
These measurement results clearly show that the greater the diameter of the orifice, the better the response. Namely, in order to improve the response, the size or number of orifices may be increased. However, if the size or number of orifices is increased excessively, merely in view of the improvement in the response, silica gel may generate dust which would dangerously affect performance of the H.D.A. Therefore, in practical use, efficiency of the orifice must be optimally set to obtain an optimum response while simultaneously preventing generation of dust. Example A has an optimum orifice diameter of 20 mm in view of the prevention of dust generation and in view of the sufficient response. The following description is directed to example A having a good response in the practical range.
The relative state between the head and the medium is classified generally into either a stationary state, a frictional state or a floating state. As described above, a significantly low humidity level is ideal to prevent clinging between the head and the medium surface in the stationary state. On the other hand, a relatively high humidity level is desired to prevent wearing and damage in the frictional state and in the floating state. These features are observed in conjunction with FIGS. 2A and 2B.
During the start time shown in FIG. 2A, the H.D.A. shifts from the stationary state through the frictional state to the floating state, in which the interior of H.D.A. reaches the stable condition. The interior humidity is determined by the initial water content of the silica gel. This set humidity should be as high as possible to the extent that clinging does not occur since the three above-described states develop under the set humidity. Then, when the H.D.A. starts operating, the interior temperature rises so that the humidity decreases to form a bottom peak due to a response delay of the humidity adjustor. During this course, the floating state normally emerges. However, the H.D.A. may occasionally stop so that the bottom peak humidity should be also as high as possible to the extent that clinging does not occur.
When the H.D.A. stops operating, the internal temperature falls so that the humidity rises to a top peak due to delay of the response of the humidity adjustor. When the top peak develops, the H.D.A. normally has been already stopped so that the head is placed in contact with the medium. The dry condition would be preferable in order to prevent clinging in this contact state. However, in this state the H.D.A. may occasionally restart the operation. Therefore, the humidity should be also held as high as possible while avoiding clinging.
In summary, the interior of the H.D.A. should be controlled at a certain humidity as high as possible to the extent where clinging never occurs.
The inventor has conducted measurements about clinging between a disc medium and a head, the results of which are shown in FIG. 3. This graph shows the relation between relative humidity and a static friction coefficient measured immediately after stopping the rotation of the medium, and also measured after storage of 24 hours. According to this graph, the static friction coefficient μs increases above 50%-70% RH. In view of the plotted curves, clinging may be effectively avoided below 60% RH.
In example A, as shown by FIG. 2B, the highest humidity level is reached during the course of the temperature decreasing after stopping of the H.D.A. This highest humidity level at the peak should be set less than 60% RH. The measured peak humidity level was 55% RH in example A, which was effective to avoid clinging.
On the other hand, the lowest level of humidity is observed approximately at 20% RH during the operation of the H.D.A. (FIG. 2A). This level would be further decreased by 5% RH to 15% RH, dependent on the change in atmospheric factors, which is still advantageously lower than the prior art of less than 10% RH.
The aforementioned description is directed to the fact that the response varies according to the size of the orifice. As described above, the response also varies according to the nature of the moisture adjustor. For example, silica gel has various types, and the example A utilizes an A type according to the JIS standard (hereinafter, referred to as "silica gel A"). The response varies dependent on the type of silica gel. FIG. 5 shows the adsorption rate of the silica gel A and that of silica gel B determined as a B type according to the JIS standard with respect to relative humidity.
Referring to the humidity change in example A shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, variations of the relative humidity are different while variations of the temperature are similar between the period when the interior temperature of the H.D.A. rises at the time of starting the H.D.A. operation and another period when the interior temperature decreases at the time of stopping the H.D.A. operation.
Referring back to FIG. 5, the silica gel A has a greater variation of the adsorption rate with respect to the variation of humidity degree in a relatively lower humidity range than in a relatively higher humidity range. Namely, the silica gel A having 17% of the water content at the stable state absorbs a greater amount of water when the relative humidity rises above a certain degree, and releases a smaller amount of water when the relative humidity decreases by the same amount. Therefore, the change in the relative humidity shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B can be well understood from the performance of the silica gel A.
On the other hand, the silica gel B has a performance in contrast to the silica gel A. Namely, the silica gel B has good response in a higher humidity range. Since the object of the invention is particularly to prevent an excessively dry condition, the silica gel A is preferable because of its good response in a lower humidity range. Generally, the inherent response of silica gel can be suitably regulated by mixing or concurrently using different types of silica gel.
As described above, the maximum water content of the silica gel must be determined according to various external factors or parameters such as ambient condition of the H.D.A. in practical use (temperature and humidity), thermal capacity of the H.D.A., packing arrangement of silica gel, the form of the humidity adjustor, and the possibility of clinging of the head to the medium. In summary, the water content is set according to the various parameters so as to effect prevention of clinging at the highest humidity and yet to maintain the highest humidity possible during the course of use. For example, according to the external condition in the above-described example, the relative humidity may vary about 35% RH range from 20% RH to 55% RH. On the other hand, the medium used and the head may cause clinging at 60% RH. In view of these considerations, the silica gel should hold 30% RH at the equilibrium state. Therefore, the water content of silica gel is optimally set to realize the equilibrium state at 30% RH. For example, the A-type silica gel of the JIS standard is adjusted at about 17% of water content to realize the optimum condition.
As described above, according to the invention, the magnetic disc apparatus is provided with a humidity adjusting means effective to maintain a constant humidity within the H.D.A. By such construction, there can be realized an improved magnetic disc apparatus effective to prevent clinging and effective to improve an anti-abrasion characteristic of the medium. Further, the humidity adjusting means is advantageously composed of silica gel containing provisionally a given amount of water so as to easily obtain an efficient humidity adjusting function.

Thanks for the input, Gents.
I am going to reach out to Guerreisms. (I got that far previously via the metadata in one of the pics I found.)
I may reach out to Meermin as well. They seem to have flexibility.
If you missed out on the Carmina Tobacco Suede chukka in size 8.5UK, I am planning on returning mine for reasons not related to the shoe or sell if anyone is interested. See my signature for details. If you are in U.S., you will save $50 on shipping.
It is a great shoe and the Tobacco suede is awesome.

Carmina sometimes does change their mind and allow a design change if you do get rejected. I would work with an established retailer like skoaktiebaloget or gentlemens footwear to push on behalf for your design.
FWIW, I do like the design and it does exist somewhat similarly in RL Ancel or Ansel model and Paul Stuart has a suede monk strap with that buckling design
The boot should look like a combination of the 973 boot in shell ...
and this punched captoe shoe, also on the Rain last, and with the dark brown calf that we're proposing.
If you're interested, let @steveyoo1983 know. I believe that three people have expressed interest so far, so we're half way there. Think of fall!

Behold, my new Carmina shell (sorry for crappy indoor phone pics):
Stock from Carmina. Madrid to New Orleans in two days via FedEx, and no customs fees charged. Total out-of-pocket was just under $650.
Special makeup from ToBox in Philadelphia. There are some subtle differences from the stock Carmina shell wholecut - e.g., perfing near the heel:
Five rows of eyelets instead of four:
I suppose some might say that the perfing and medallion take away from the "perfection" of the wholecut, but I like them both. And, I think the extra eyelets are a big plus. All in all . . .
Now I just have to wear them! It will make me a little sad to scuff up those beautiful soles, though.

Yesterday I did something I never thought I'd do any time soon – see Great White Sharks up close and personal. This was because one of the premier attractions in Hermanus (and Cape Town), is shark cage diving.
Along with a German couple and Brian, Siobhan, Mairead and Sinead (an Irish gang I met in Hermanus) we left Hermanus Backpackers for Gansbaai where the boats leave from. We did it with Whiteshark Ecoadventures.
We got out on to the water at 9am, anchoring 30 minutes later. Then the waiting began. According to our instructor, waiting could take between 5 minutes and 5 hours. We were waiting about twenty minutes to see our first Great White Shark. Once we did the cage diving began. One by one we all got into the cage and waited for the shark to re-appear.
I was in the cage for around twenty minutes. I saw the shark on many occasions, but one particular time Jaws himself came right up to cage and smiled. I could have touched him he was that near. I'll tell you one thing – nothing will prepare you for the first time you see a Great White Shark that close.
Over the three hours we saw a total of six sharks. The last two were the most impressive as they circled the boat repeatedly and we could get a great look at them. They are an unbelievable site.

In the fourth feature in our series on great Ashes rivalries, journalists from England and Australia focus on two meetings between two great players who loved to put on a show, Shane Warne and Kevin Pietersen
Mark Baldwin, England
Kevin Pietersen even wanted to outshine Shane Warne in the hairstyle department when the two finally met in Ashes battle. KP looked as if he had a dead skunk perched on top of his head when he made his Test bow in the wondrous series of 2005, looking to attack Warne while many of England's batsmen were simply trying to stay in against the bleach-blond leg-spinning genius.
Warne, of course, had yet to taste Ashes defeat, having exerted a vice-like grip on English batsmen ever since he spun an outrageous leg break past the bat of Mike Gatting on his debut against England in 1993. Warne and Glenn McGrath both felt the power of the Pietersen bat even as Australia went 1-0 up with a crushing win in the opening 2005 Test at Lord's, and by the time a thrilling series reached the final match at the Oval it was Pietersen alone who was still willing to go on the offensive.
Pietersen's 158, in which he slog-swept Warne and hooked Brett Lee for six after six, wrenched the Ashes from Australian hands, but only after Warne, who took an heroic 40 wickets at just 19.92 runs apiece in the series, had dropped Pietersen early on.
Revenge came at Adelaide in 2006-07 when he bowled Pietersen behind his legs to accelerate an England collapse towards defeat and, ultimately, the 5-0 Australia triumph that provided the perfect ending to Warne's Ashes career.
Andrew Faulkner, Australia
Shane Warne versus Kevin Pietersen is a drama in two acts, each a celebration of how Test cricket is played in multiple dimensions.
In the first, the deciding Test of 2005, Warne was bowling sublimely when he dropped Pietersen at slip from Brett Lee. Pietersen was on 15 at the time. He made 158 and the ensuing draw was enough for England to cradle the Ashes for the first time since 1989. Never mind that Warne took 12 wickets in the match; you drop ONE catch …
With 40 wickets Warne was named, alongside Andrew Flintoff, the player of the 2005 series. Yet perhaps he would have retired had he held the catch. It meant the Ashes must be reclaimed and the ground had been laid for that Adelaide Test of 2006-07.
After losing badly in Brisbane, the tourists amassed 551 for six on the back of Paul Collingwood's 206 and another 158 from Pietersen.
When centuries from Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke nudged Australia within 38 runs of England's mark, a draw seemed the only possible result. Enter Warne, who, aided by an Adelaide pitch crafted to deteriorate on the fourth and fifth days, willed Australia home.
Warne's 4 for 49 is only part of the story; he believed the Australians could win, so win they did.
On the way he accounted for his friend. Pietersen could not resist his treasured sweep and was bowled around his legs – from over the wicket no less.

No-till gardening
One of these days, I'm going to collect all the materials to build a thick and proper lasagna garden. But for now, the goal is to do take some action so that my raised beds aren't a fallow sitting duck, just waiting for any and all weed seeds to drift on in and take root. Typically, by the time I'm ready to transplant my seedlings, my beds are filled with dandelions, shotweed, and creeping charlie.
This spring, I started by weeding the garden well, adding a thick layer of compost and manure, then topping it all off with a thick (and it needs to be thicker than it is in the photo above) layer of straw. Below, when I'm ready to plant, I'll be able to pull out the mulch and simply plop the seedling in the soil. We'll see if this method reduces my weed-pulling time and how it lasts the season! Do you "no-till" or use a lasagna gardening method? How does it work for you?

Dandelion Jelly
As I wandered Home Depot the other day, I walked down a quiet aisle looking for fencing options when I passed bags and bags, stacked two stories high, of product promising me a weed-free grass lawn. Oh, I know there are intense anti-lawn folks out there, and in all other philosophies we are kindred spirits, but my 60/40 mix is simply not going to do it. I got sucked in and bought a bag.
On the way home, I was thinking about the upcoming weather and trying to figure out the best time to finally eradicate all the weeds (the chemicals require the lawn to be wet) when I suddenly snapped out of it. I am not an herbicide user. I decided that if I could put the dandelions to use, I may (hopefully!) come to see the dandelions as an asset rather than a nuisance.
My older daughter and I spend a quick 20 minutes picking all the flowers we could manage to. We tried some battered and fried blossoms. Tasted like...batter. Then I made this dandelion jelly. Delicious! Just like the recipe described - like spring honey. A friend who appreciated a jar said it was fabulous on crostini with some goat cheese, the dandelion jelly, and some finely chopped fresh herbs. I'd take food over herbicide any day. Wouldn't you?

Purple Asparagus
It's been perhaps 6 years and the asparagus is ridiculously fat, very tender, and on rough days, makes me feel like a competent gardener! In my raised bed, I add a layer of manure in the very early spring each year and mulch with straw as the asparagus begins to send up shoots. Aside from the that, the only trick with asparagus is patience. Here's some advice about growing and harvesting asparagus. If you grow asparagus, how long did it take before yours got really good?

Gardening and Immediacy
I'd been reading a lot of Facebook posts recently by experienced gardeners scoffing at newbies for infractions like buying tender annuals too early or buying tomato plants far before it's time to plant them. Though I'm experienced enough to also know these novices are wasting time and money, I am also a spur-of-the-moment, or haven't-totally-thought-it-through-but-I-wanna-do-it kind of person. Some may call it impatience, but I believe it's the sheer excitement of gardening taking over, and it's a feeling I wouldn't want to lose. I wrote about it here for the popular Garden Rant blog. What are your thoughts?

Beef, bison, lamb, goat, and turkey jerky
As some of you might know, each year, my husband, sister, brother-in-law and I do a secret Santa gift exchange (which almost never happens at the holidays). The only catch is that the gift has to be homemade. I originally thought it'd be an awesome deal for me because it would significantly reduce the number of gifts I would need to think up to give my husband.
Except for the fact that I keep drawing his name year after year - grrrr!!
This year, I decided to try my hand at making jerky. But not just beef, I made all the variations below:
- Bison with wasabi teriyaki (store bought marinade)
- Beef with a smoky classic marinade (worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, honey, onion powder, liquid smoke, ground black pepper, red pepper flakes)
- Turkey (soy sauce, honey, sesame oil)
- Goat (red wine, white vinegar, mint, onion, hot sauce, soy sauce water, olive oil)
- Lamb (onion, cumin, turmeric, garam masala, curry powder, cardamom pods, tomato paste, salt, water)
|Everything but the kitchen sink in these marinades
The basics of making jerky:
- Slice meat along the grain about 1/3 inch thick, as evenly as possible. Partially freezing your meat first will make it easier to cut nice even slices.
- Marinate your meat overnight.
- Drain marinade and pat meat strips dry.
- Dry on highest setting (about 160F) for about 6-8 hours. Meat should be leathery and pliable, but will be dry, chewy, and stringy when pulled apart.
Store in an airtight container and use within a month or two (though I assure you it will be long gone by then!).
