cANDY-rAoKmG MACHINE.
Application filed January 20,1921. Serial No. 438,646.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD E. CAHooN,
' a citizen of the United States, residing at Racine, county of Racine, State of VVisconsin, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Candy-Packing Machines,
of which the following is a specification,
reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention has for its object a machine for use in packing articles such as chocolates which are sold in boxes each containing a predetermined assortment. The assortment is carefully planned beforehand to produce a box, the cost of which shall be that determined upon by the designer. Accordingly, the present invention has for its object a machine which shall present to one or two operators, trays containing the several varieties of goods composing the assortment in the predetermined order and at suchspeed that each operator will be able to takeone piece of goods from each of the successive trays and place it in the box in which she is packing, completing the packing of a box at each revolution of the carrier. Machines of this general character have already been pro posed, but the present invention produces a type of machine which is more efficient and satisfactory than machines heretofore in use.
One of the great advantages to be derived from the use of the machine embodying my invention is that the goods to be packed may be kept at any desired temperature without exposing the operators to this temperature. This is a matter of considerable importance, because in the manufacture of chocolates it is important to keep the goods at v a temperature between and Fahrenheit, and it is difficult to get help who are willing to work at this temperature.
Accordingly the machine includes a housing through which cold air is circulated' and within which is a carrier adapted to move a plurality of trays successively past two opposite openings in the housing adjacent which two operators sit. One great advantage of the machine embodying my invention lies in the fact that it may be run at a speed determined by the skill of the operators so that the two slowest operators will not slow down all the packers to their rate of Work.
The machine embodying my invention includes certain devices for protecting the'operator from injury under any circumstances; also toprevent the operator takmg more than one piece from a tray; and .also to enable the operator to stop the machine should any delay occur which might make this necessary.
The inventi from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, and the novel features thereof will be pointed out and clearly defined in the claims at the close of this specification.
In the drawings, Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the machine embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a section of a battery of machines embodying my invention, showing the arrangement of tables and conveyor belts.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the devices shown in Fig. 2..
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the machine shown in Fig. 1, certain parts having been broken away for clearness of illustration.
Fig. 5 is a detail on an enlarged scale of the curtain and door shown on theleft-hand side of Fig. 1. i
Fig. 6 is a detail of the curtain and door shown on the right-hand side of Fig. 1.
Figs. 7 and 8 are details of the conveyor chain and tray-holding mechanism.
Fig. 9 is a front elevation of the driving mechanism.
Fig. 10 is a side elevation of the driving mechanism.
Fig. 11 shows a modified form of driving mechanism.
Referring now to the drawings, at 11 is shown a housing and frame work preferably composed of angle irons and sheet metal. At 12is shown an inlet opening for cold air and at .13 an exhaust opening by means of which the temperature on the interior of the housing may be maintained at the point best adapted for the handling of the goods to be packed by the use of the machine. Inside the housing are two pairs of sprocket wheels, the upper pair, one of which is shown at 14:, being driven by a driving mechanism which will be described hereafter, and the lower pair, one of which is shown .at 15, being mounted in sliding boxes 16 which can be adjusted by means of adjusting screws 17 (see Fig. 1). Two chains, 18 and 19, run over the said sprocket wheels and carry a plurality of trays 20 which in on will be fully understoodthe machine shown in the drawings are sixteen in number, so that sixteen kinds of candy may be employed in making up the assortment to be packed. Each tray is provided with upwardly extending arms 21'and 22 of a triangular shape and provided at their upper ends with trunnions 23 engaging special links 24 in the chains 18 and 19 respectively, these special links being provided with lugs which are pierced by holes to receive the trunnions 23. It will therefore be seen that the containers are pivotally suspended from the chain with the centre of gravity much below the point of suspension, so that the chains may be moved rapidly, and the trays will always retain their normal horizontal position. The trays are of large capacity so that they do not require filling oftener than once a day. In the machine shown in the drawings, the chains forming the conveyor move in the direction shown by the arrows, that is, the right-hand run of the chain moves up while the left-hand run moves down.
At 25 and 26 are shown two work tables for the operators which are of the special form shown in Figure. 3, being cut away so that they will partly surround the operator and give her ample space for boxes, liners, collars and other articles commonly employed in packing goods of this character.
The table 25 which is adjacent the ascending run of the conveyor extends up to the housing 11, but the table 26 which is adjacent the descending run of the conveyor is cut away, as shown at a, to reduce the possibility of injury in case the operator puts her hand into the machine just as or after one of the trays has passed the point adjacent the table. At 27 and 28 are shown two openings through which the respective operators reach into the housing to take the goods from the trays as they pass the openings.
To close these openings as much as possible while at the same time permitting convenient access to the interior and for the purpose of avoiding any possible injury to the operators, I partly close each of the openings with yieldingly supported curtains of such a nature that they can be readily moved aside without doing injury to the operator in case she gets her hand into a dangerous position. As the trays are moving in opposite directions onopposite sides of the ma chine, the curtains are constructed differently. The curtain on the left-hand side of the machine, as view-ed in Figure 1, will be clearly understood by an examination of Figure 5. This curtain consists of a sheet of suitable flexible material 29 secured at the bottom, as shown at 30, to the frame of the machine. It is stiffened by battens 31 and 32 which extend slightly beyond the opening and prevent the curtain being pushed or drawn inwardly into the path the opening.
of the conveyor. To the upper batten 32 is secured a pair of springs 33 the upper ends of which are fixed, as shown at 34:, to
the frame of the machine. These springs have just sufficient strength to hold the curtain 29 in the position shown in Figure 5, and yield readily so that they offer no considerable resistance in case the operator gets her hand caughtin the conveyor or attempts to reach down into a tray which has passed The cut-away portion a of the table 26 co-operates with the curtain to prevent any possible injury to the operators arm. At 35 and 36 is shown a two-piece door hinged at 37 to the frame of the machine and so constructed that it may be opened wholly or only in part, as shown in Figure 5. Suitable latches 38 and 39 are provided to hold the parts of the door open when required. The door is constructed as shown so that when the machine is being loaded, the entire door can be opened and ready access had to the interior of the machine. While the machine is running, there will be a smallopening to the interior of the machine toprevent as far as possible the escape of cold air into the room.
The curtain on the right-hand side of the machine is similar in construction to that already described. It consists of a sheet of flexible material 40 secured at 41 to the frame of the machine and provided with a single batten 4-2 at the bottom. It isheld down by springs 43 fastened at 44; to the frame of the machine. It is therefore so constructed that it can be more easily raised in case the operator attempts to follow with her hand the tray which has passed the opening 28.
At 45 and 46 are shown guides having flaring entrances to make it possible to run the machine at relatively high speed with out any danger of the container swinging and doing injury to the interior of the machine or being upset.
In practice, the machines embodying my invention are arranged in series or batteries, each battery being provided with a wrapping table, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. In these figures, the machines are designated A and are placed adjacent a conveyor B driven by a motor C. The wrapping table is indicated at D. The conveyor serves to carry the filled boxes of goods to the wrapping table after the packing has been completed.
The driving mechanism will now be described. driving a belt 48 which runs over a pulley 49. 50 which carries a worm 51. The worm engages with a worm gear 52 on shaft 53 on which is an eccentric gear 78 meshing with a second eccentric gear 79 on shaft 80. The shaft 80 carries also a pinion 81 which This pulley 49 is mounted on a shaft 1 At 4:7 is shown an electric motor meshes with the large gear mounted on the shaft 56 to which the upper sprocket wheels 14 are secured. It will therefore be seen that this mechanism gives to the conveyor chain an alternately fast and slow motion so that each tray will travel slowly past the respective openings in the housing and then will travel rapidly to the next position. v
The pulley 49 is loose on the shaft 50 and is rendered fast thereto by means of a clutch 57 operated by a clutch fork 58 which forms part of an elbow lever 4 pivoted at 59. The rear end of the elbow lever is provided with a tail 60 on which acts a spring 61, the lower end of which is connected to a bracket 62.
The tail 60 is also connected to the free end I of a brake band 63, the other end being fixed, as shown at 64, to a bracket 65. This brake band operates on a brake wheel 66 located on the end of shaft 50. It will. therefore be seen that the spring 61 tends to keep the clutch 57 disengaged and to hold the brake band 63 against the brake wheel 66. The reverse movement is effected by means of an elbow lever 67 pivoted at 68 and connected by a link 69 with the tail 60 of the elbow lever 4. The link 69 and upper arm of the elbow lever 67 to which it is connected, together form a toggle joint. At is shown a stop against which the toggle joint rests when the machine is running. The elbow lever 67 is connected by a link 70 to the arm 71 of a rock shaft pivoted at 72 on the side of the machine. This rock shaft extends across the side of the machine and is connected by suitable links 73 with two knee levers 7 4 located respectively under the tables 25 and 26 in a convenient position where they may be moved by either operator to stop or start the machine. As will be understood, the movement of the lever breaks the toggle joint composed of the parts 67 and 69 and allows the spring 61 to pull down the tail 60 of the elbow lever 4, disengaging the clutch, setting the brake and stopping the machine instantly. Therefore, a slight movement of either operators knee will stop the machine almost instantly. This construction is important because one operator or the other may be de-' layed in her work and, if necessary, either can stop the machine before the tray gets beyond her reach.
In Figure 11, I have shown a slightly modified driving mechanism for the ma chine embodying my invention. This mechanism is constructed to give the conveyor chains a uniform motion. The mechanism differs but slightly from that already described. In this form of the machine the clutch shaft 50 is provided with a worm 5 which meshes with a worm gear 77 mounted on a shaft 8. This shaft carries a pinion 9 which drives the large gear 55 on shaft 56 cause each tray to dwell as it moves past the said opening in the housing.
2. In a candy packing machine, a housing having an opening therein, a series of trays and a conveyor therefor to vmove the trays past the said opening and a yielding curtainv located at the edge of the opening which is passed last by the trays. V
3. In a candy packing machine, a housing having two openings ;on opposite sides thereof, a series of trays, an endless conveyor therefor having two substantiallyver, tical runs moving in opposite directions, and yieldingly supported curtains adjacent said openings.
4. In a candy packing machine, a housing having two openings on opposite sides thereof, a series of trays, an endess conveyor therefor having two substantially vertical runs moving the said trays in opposite directions past the respective openings, and yielding curtains partly closing each opening and located at the edge of the opening which is passed last by the trays.
5. In a candy packing machine,a housing having two openings on opposite sides thereof, a series of trays, an endless conveyor therefor having an ascending and a descending run moving the said trays in opposite directions past the respective openings, a curtain partly closing the opening which gives access to the ascending run, said curtain being suspended by its top and yielding upwardly to permit enlargement of the opening, and a second curtain partly closing the opening which gives access to the descending run, said curtain being secured at its bottom and yieldingly held up so that it yields downwardly to permit enlargement of the said openmg.
6. In a candy packing machine, a housing having an opening therein, a conveyor, a series of trays carried by said conveyor past the said opening, and a curtain defining the edge of the opening which is passed last by the trays, said curtain being secured along an edge away from the opening and having its free edge held toward the opening by springs.
7. In a candy packing machine, a housing having an opening therein, a conveyor, a series of trays carried by said conveyor past the said opening, and a curtain defining the edge of the opening which the trays pass last, said curtain being secured along an edge away from the opening and having its free edge stiffened by a batten and held toward the opening by springs located at the sides of the opening.
8. In a candy packing machine, a housing having two openings on opposite sides there- 'of, a series of trays, an endless conveyor therefor to move said trays successively past the said openings in opposite directions, driving mechanism for said conveyor, stopping mechanism therefor, work tables for the operators adjacent the said openings, a stopping lever for each operator located adjacent each work table and common connecting means between the said two levers and the said stopping mechanism whereby the machine may be stopped or started by either operator.
9. In a candy packing machine, a series of trays, an endless conveyor therefor, a Work table for an operator, driving-means for the endless conveyor comprising a pair of eccentric gears or the equivalent thereof to give to the conveyor a continuous movement at varying speeds, said parts being so constructed as to move each tray past the operators work table at relatively slow speed and to give the same a relatively rapid motion between successive positions.
10. In a candy packing machine, a housing having an opening therein, a series of trays, a conveyor therefor, driving means for the conveyor stopping mechanism including a normally straight toggle joint, a spring tending to move the ends of the toggle members toward each other, a lever within the reach of the operator and connections from said lever to the centre of the toggle joint to move the centre of said toggle joint out of said normally straight position and permit the spring to break the toggle joint and stop the machine.
11. In a candy packing machine, a housing having an opening therein, a series of trays, a conveyor therefor moving the trays downward past the said opening, and a table adjacent the opening in the housing, the said table being cut away on the side next the said opening.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

17w, 2d as of midnight. No bump, no weight gain, no crazy apoetite...I tend to graze throughout the day rather than sit for huge meals. A few times a day, I'll stand up and get a bit light headed, but really pounding the bottled water helps. Oddly, I kind of like it...reminds me that the little skittle is in there and borrowing nutrients from me. :)

17w 3d... Still gagging pretty often and throwing up once every couple days :( I have to nap every afternoon or i'm way too exhausted. I've been in maternity for Weeks now, but started out about 20 lbs overweight and i'm short with a short torso so I know I look 6 months pregnant lol. Nowhere for those organs to go I guess :) on the plus side I find out on the 3rd what we are having! Think pink!

Brittany and David's Wedding invitations
I'm so excited to share with you these beautiful invitations I designed for Brittany and David.
When Brittany contacted me a few months ago to design her and David's wedding invitations, I couldn't hide the excitement. Her sister Bianca got married a few years ago and that was one of the first invitations I ever designed (click here to view their invites) and still to date, one of my all time favourites.
Brittany and David are a young and vibrant couple that got married this past weekend. I went to the venue in the morning to set up all the special stationery details and must say that everything looked stunning. Thank you to my patient husband for all the help setting up menus and macaroons boxes for each guest and applying the vinyl details to the floors - you really are the bestest.
Today I'm sharing some photographs of Brit and David's wedding invites, which I totally love. The colour scheme for their wedding was gold (my fav), blush pink and white. The wedding invitation suite included a main card that unfold to give a 3D look with a photo taken by the talented Sophie Smith, a details card and a sleeve with gold foil details (gold foil = happiness).
I hope that as soon as the photos from the wedding are edited and developed, I can share them with you as well which I have no doubt will be just stunning.
Happy Monday everyone; hope you all have a great and productive week ahead!

Recent work: Philomena
Today I would love to share a very special project I worked on! Hanna (Slezackova) contacted me a few months ago and asked me to work on the identity of her new business venture.
She realised a gap in the market when trying to shop for her pregnant best friend who always looked fabulous and always with her own unique style. She felt the maternity wear on the market was not up to scratch so turned in desperation to clothes that were not necessarily made for pregnant women but could work. That's when she decided to create Philomena, a designer clothing brand that carefully crafts garments to be worn before, during and after pregnancy for women who do not wish to compromise on style.
In Hanna's own words: "My inspiration came from my best friend Amira Quinlan, as well as people like Victoria Beckham, both of whom always looked fabulous during pregnancy with draping fabrics or short tunic dresses. I spent a lot of time looking for the right fabrics to compliment the designs. Maternity wear tends to use alot of lycra which gives it a very one dimensional casual look. I wanted to design a range that was still comfortable but also equally as stylish. I realised that meant I must do all the work for my client, she doesn't have to think about it, she knows when she puts on a Philomena piece she can go to a wedding, a cocktail party, a lunch or a walk on the promenade!"
Some of the branding elements I created for Philomena include logo design, business cards, garments tags and social media elements.
Please contact Hannah for more information or to have a look at everything she has in stock as well as the new summer season collection. firstname.lastname@example.com | Twitter @Phil_Clothing | https://www.facebook.com/philomenaclothing

Lookbook: Bikers Style
My husband just bought a long desired on-road/off-road bike and on account of the good weather, we decided to take it for a nice long ride to the winelands. We left Cape Town on Friday afternoon and rode 72km to the picturesque town of Franschhoek.
Franschhoek it is said to be the gourmet capital of Western Cape and with good reason. Every meal we had in the trip was just decadent and not to forget the delicious wines we got to taste. We stayed in a very quaint little cottage close to the main road and from where we rode to the different wine estates and restaurants.
I'm so thankful for such magical weekend; I hope there are a lot more to come!

Gillian and Paul's Wedding Invitations
These two are not only one of our closest friends but the most wonderful couple I've ever met. Both of them are relax, gentle and truly sincere real people! And let's not forget how stylish this couple is... I guess that from the moment they started dating we all knew they were perfect for each other.
The theme for their wedding was "Botanical love". So for the invitations we combined soft illustrated floral elements with rustic craft paper and twine.
If you like the invites, wait until you see some images from their magical winter wedding...

Recent Work: Gibraltar Music Festival 2014
We are getting closer and closer to the end of the year and together with that another month has gone by!
September: the month that for some is synonymous of the beginning of spring, for others the start of autumn and for all Gibraltarians, time for the yearly expected Gibraltar Music Festival. 4 stages, over 30 local and international acts and thousands of people flying in from Spain, UK and Russia make of this music festival, the biggest event in Gibraltar. And for me one of my biggest jobs...
For the second consecutive year, the organizers of this event contacted me to assist them with all the graphic artwork for the festival. Months of work prior to the event included designs such as layouts for dozens of magazines and newspaper adverts, posters and billboards, website design, facebook images updates, brochures and programmes. And that's not all; event maps and plans, timetables and even all the signage for the festival itself and artwork for all stages and screens was part of the work I did for the event.
It was hard-work which included some late nights setting artwork for print deadlines but I must say that I enjoyed every step of it; specially as it was a pleasure working with organizers and visionaries, Jonathan and Owen.
Below are some of the elements I designed for the Gibraltar Music Festival 2014.
Don't forget to click on the video at the bottom of the page to see the highlights of the event and the magnitude of this festival.

Spring Poster Free Printable
I love doing as much as I can on paper before I get to the final stage where I bring the artwork into the computer for the last retouches. Here is a simple step by step process that I normally like following:
1. Finding the right phrase
For this project I wanted to use an inspiring phrase with the spring theme. I looked in Pinterest and Google but didn't find anything that really motivated me so I started writing down words and putting together my own Spring Phrase. "Hello beautiful spring. Let's have lots of blooming fun" was what I decided to go ahead with.
2. Trying layouts and finding the right one
In my sketchpad I tried different options for the layout, playing around with the words and making sure that the main ones, "hello", "spring" and "fun", were accentuated.
3. Sketching each word
Once I decided on a layout I started sketching the different words, each of them in a different custom typeface. Normally I go through many sketches for each word until I'm 100% happy.
Finally, once I had the final design of each word, I took the pencil sketches and inked them. For this I use a lightbox. It's not really necessary to have the final art inked but in my opinion it makes a big difference for the next step.
5. Scanning
It's very important to have the final artwork in dark pen, otherwise the scanner doesn't pick up the light pencil strokes. The clearer the ink work is, the less computer editing work will be needed afterwards.
6. Final retouches in the computer
Once I have the artwork scanned, I use Illustrator and Photoshop to do the final details. In this case to give the watercolour feel to the letters and add the embellishment flowers that finish off this poster.
You can download this gorgeous spring poster printable here.

Calentita 2014 Poster Design
For the second consecutive year, the guys from WOM in Gibraltar asked me to design the poster for the Calentita Food Festival. For this year's design they wanted to portrait one of Gibraltar's most iconic architecture landmark: the Moorish Castle. This Medieval fotification is made up of various buildings, gates, fortified walls and its most dominant features, the Tower of Homage and the Gate House. This structure is clearly visible to all visitors to Gibraltar, not only because of its striking construction but also because of its dominant and strategic position.
Regarding design style for this year's design, I was inspired by the progressive commercial posters of the 1920s and 1930s featuring simple lines and the usage of balanced compositions and bold colour combinations. To create this poster, I used seemingly abstract blocks of colour to build up the castle and the white food stall tents, signature of the Calentita festival.
View and read here about the poster I designed for Calentita 2013.

My photography Project | Glen Beach House
A week ago we stayed in Glen Beach house-sitting our friend's cottage on the beach. If you haven't been to Cape Town, Glen Beach is the prettiest beach with amazing views of the mountains: it's literally paradise. So for us to be able to stay there for a whole week was a perfect holiday. Yes; I've found my dream house, wooden floors, beautiful green loan, fireplace and the most spectacular set up.
I really felt very inspired here and couldn't not take some photographs. Here I'll share a few with you (there are some of Arri, my husband and the rasta-cat Napoleon - already missing him).

Billups out Wednesday, day-to-day after that
Mar 2, 2011, 4:09 PM EST
You had a feeling when a guy as hard core as Chauncey Billups used the word "severe" to describe his thigh bruise Tuesday night, he might not be playing Wednesday.
He is officially out for Hornets game Wednesday, the Knicks announced at shootaround, according to a tweet from Alan Hahn of Newsday. He is questionable for Friday.
Billups was injured with 2:13 left in the game against the Magic Tuesday night. He tried to fight over the top of a Dwight Howard pick and his thigh banged into Howard's knee. Howard's knee won. Billups left the game and did not return.

November 27, 2014
JERUSALEM (AP) - The Israeli military says it scored "direct hits" on targets in Syria after responding to stray mortar fire from its northern neighbor.
The military says that Israeli tanks opened fire on targets in Syria on Monday after the mortar round landed in an open area in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.
Israeli military officials say "Syrian mobile artillery" was hit. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity under military guidelines, gave no further details.
The incident marked the second straight day that Israel has responded to fire from Syria.
The mortars are believed to be coming from fighting in Syria's civil war, and Israel says the shells do not appear to be aimed at Israeli targets. Nonetheless, Israel has promised a tough response if the fire continues.

Re: @James Hughes 1
The thing about expert systems, is you generally need experts on hand to train them. AI is generally done top-down, not bottom-up. The moment the latter happens to any extent where experts are no longer required, is the moment we start building our own (perhaps slightly perturbed) GSVs and other Minds. Or rather, it's the moment they start building themselves.
Then we're all out of a job!

Ubuntu 13.10: Meet the Linux distro with a bizarre Britney Spears fixation
Re: M Gale
Sounds to me like you just proved andreas koch's point big style!
Unless I'm completely misreading their post, Koch's point was about the UI. I'm pointing out that there was a lot more disliked about Win95 than the UI. Hell, the Win95 UI wasn't a radical break from Win3.11. You could still use Windows 95 without touching the Start menu, creating folders on the desktop just like you would with the old progman (which was still included in Windows 95, as already mentioned).
Windows 8 (and Unity) on the other hand, seem to be more about turning desktop computers into phones. No ta. I'd rather have something that works, without some OS X-alike unified menu bar, either. And, as mentioned, I'm wondering how well KDE, XFCE and other less phone-like UIs will work with Mir?
Re: 'if you're stuck using proprietary drivers'
And with the SteamOS announcement, this should become the norm rather than the exception.
So long as it doesn't come with Steam, I'll be happy.
Re: @ Pete 2 - Reversing Moore's Law
Windows 95 was a big change and a lot of people didn't like it at first, now there's a change away from that paradigm and most people want to stay with it.
I remember the most hate about WIndows 95 was the sheer amount of hard drive space it required, and it breaking compatibility with a crapton of stuff that came before. There were the lies about "your DOS programs now run faster than ever", the price, and the fact that up until Windows 95, at least you could buy alternative operating systems that worked with the vast majority of software (except Microsoft software, natch).
However, at least Windows 95 included progman if you still wanted to use it that way. Does Windows 8 have the start menu? No, it has a shitty phone UI and you will eat it up and say Thankyou Sir.
Speaking of which, will KDE, XFCE and other desktop environments more suited to the desktop environment continue to work in Mir?

And if I were the airline employee then I might have risked a quip about getting the cattleprod out, depending on the humour of the situation. That or just quietly smirked.

Re: M Gale "It's called free speech"
And then starts publically slagging you & your company off ?
A few years ago, I was a PC World employee.
Try "suck it up and get on with it"? There is a marked difference between criticism and abuse. Actually, I kept my job there for so long despite not having the best sales figures because dammit, I had so few complaints. Customers liked me. Tended to come back more often because of that. Partly because I didn't respond to criticism with "right, fuck off, out of the shop, you." In fact, in many cases I would agree wholeheartedly with some of the stuff that customers came out with. Why act like a pissy jobsworth? Life's too short, and the company certainly isn't going to reward blind loyalty anyway. Yes sir, you are absolutely right, that is a terrible price for a USB 1.1-rated cable. Unfortunately there is little I can do about it, however my figures for today are not too bad. If you're buying a printer and ink, I can probably discount it for you.
Professionalism. Something an Easyjet employee or two might do well to learn about.

Not just that, but a catastrophic loss of remote control could possibly end up with the aircraft making a dead-reckoning (assuming GPS has been jammed) return to safety, all by itself. It only needs to be so accurate to get back to a friendly area, then either command can be restored, or the aircraft can self destruct upon depletion of fuel. Or, just maybe, the aircraft can crashland somewhere flat and open and at least be partly salvageable.
It's not like a few people with some garden shed engineering can't build a small-scale craft that can return to base under autonomous control. The current SPB project seems to be shaping up in exactly that direction.

I could say the same about anybody suggesting a Core i7 lap-scalder for doing letters and spreadsheets with. The Fujitsu Lifebook T731 is not exactly cheap either, unless you want a decrepit "refurbished" one.
So sure, if you have unlimited funds and the desire to throw unlimited amounts of them at some kind of shiny, then you might just barely, so long as you're not using it too hard, get 8 hours out of an x86 Windows tablet PC. Really, well done.
Now if you don't mind, I have a years-old TF201 here to play with. Cost £500 when it was brand spanking new. Goes all day. Like the Duracell Bunny of convertible tablets, it is.
Actually I think, now Microsoft have made the idiot decision to try and turn the desktop into a phone and get the general public used to "duh hooge squares and pretty pictures" phone interfaces, Android could go through just a few modifications to be mouse and multiple-window-friendly and stand a good chance at taking Microsoft on, on their home turf. Wouldn't that be something?
Duo 13, i7 variant. £1725, before you even go on about the prices Sony will charge for an extra battery, a car charger... well, it doesn't come with it. I also see no battery life figures.
So, we're probably talking somewhere north of two grand, all in. For a jumped up netbook. To write fucking Office documents.
Now what was that I said about extortionately priced? Not to mention that the huge PDAs that we now call "tablets" have a battery life that approaches or exceeds all-day heavy usage already, without any mucking about swapping batteries halfway through.
So a Windows XP Tablet PC with a ridiculous price tag and a battery life of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... not the massive PDAs that generally last all day, then?

I figured the whole point, if you're in a position to be hugely bothered by the kernel size, is that you can turn off a shitload of options in the kernel headers and compile your own teeny-tiny version, with support just for the hardware you're running it on?
Or just download Ubuntu or some other preconfigured distro where about everything sensible has been switched on.
Would a microkernel end up any smaller after every single driver (sorry, Service) for every possible bit of hardware out there has been included in with the distribution? Don't forget, Windows is a hybrid kernel that does a ton of stuff the microkernel way. Hardly a size 0, is it?

Xperia Arc S here, from when it was "Sony Ericsson". Still working, though a bit long in the tooth now perhaps.
Not a perfect phone, but still damned fine. Dual GLONASS/GPS before the Applistas ever thought of the idea, and the ancient, replaceable battery still gets me all day if I don't hammer it. Camera's awesome for a 2011-vintage phone, pretty good even for a bleeding-edge new smartphone, and it can actually make calls while being held like a phone, unlike the iPhone 4 that it went up against.
I'll probably be getting a replacement in the next year or two, simply to take advantage of multiple cores and stupidly high-res screens (as if the current phone isn't high enough). However, this ol' Arc S still gets appreciative comments, mostly on the size and clarity of the screen. It really is eye-searingly bright and razor-sharp.
Oh, and it seems to play almost every video file I throw at it. All without being tied into some PC-based bloatware.
Apple's iOS 64-bit iUpgrade: Don't expect a 2x performance leap
Re: Exactly - with a modern multitasking OS this would do really well
I think you're mistaking pre-emptive multitasking with cooperative multitasking. Coop multitasking was what Mac OS had all the way up to OS X, and Windows up to 3.11 (up to 9x for 16 bit apps). It is, to use the crap analogy, the equivalent of leaving a bucket of money out and asking people to only take from it fairly. The program hogs resources until it gives them back to the OS.
Pre-emptive multitasking on the other hand, is where the OS decides how much CPU time each process is having, and rations timeslices accordingly. Unix has always had it, right back to 1969. Linux has had it since its inception in 1991, and since Android is based on Linux, well, Android has had it since day 1, too.
Strangely, pre-emptive multitasking works, regardless of how much an individual process wants to hog things. The only remaining argument is the best type of rationing policy - round robin, least-used-first, priority-based or other?
Ignorance, eh? It's everywhere.

Neat! I will have to get ahold of my gg aunt and see if she can remember any Collver's in the family. I don't know of any, just this article came about. Unfortunately, he died before she was born, so if he was just a family friend or "idol," she may not know of him. The actual obituary was glued to an old memory book belonging to my own ggggrandmother.

Economy - Most Commented
Self-employed voters look for security
Sep 26, 2008
Being your own boss also means paying all your own bills, including health insurance. As part of our "Interested Parties" series, Ashley Milne-Tyte asks self-employed voters what issues matter to them.
What happens if there's no agreement?
Sep 26, 2008
Democratic Representative John Spratt tells host Stacey Vanek-Smith that the parties in Congress need to come to an agreement on a rescue measure, because, while unpleasant, it's a necessity.
Now there are bailout plans aplenty
Sep 26, 2008
Yesterday's series of moves by Congress members to come up with a bailout plan turned into something of a rollercoaster ride. First there was a deal, then there wasn't, then... Steve Henn sorts it out for us.
What in the world happened?
Sep 26, 2008
The bailout summit that was supposed to go so well apparently turned into a shouting match. Beleagured Treasury Secretary Paulson begged them not to tell anyone how badly it went, but word's out. Host Scott Jagow gets more from Jeremy Hobson.
Working 2 jobs, just trying to get by
Sep 24, 2008
For a lot of people dealing with rising prices and joblessness, the craziness on Wall Street seems pretty far away. As part of our "Interested Parties" series, Adriene Hill asks Chicago's working poor what they want of a new president.
Anybody notice that $610 billion bill?
Sep 24, 2008
While most of us are focused on the financial crisis, there is other business afoot in Congress -- such as a $610 billion spending package the House passed today. Steve Henn reports.
Why is $700 billion the magic number?
Sep 24, 2008
For all we know, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson licked his finger, stuck it the air, and said "Right, 700 billion." How was that figure arrived at? Dan Grech reports.
T-notes on sale to help fund bailout
Sep 24, 2008
The government isn't raising taxes to fund the $700 billion bailout. What's the alternative? Today, the Treasury will auction off two-year T-notes as a start. Are they a good investment? Jeremy Hobson reports.
Paulson to Congress: Pass bailout ASAP
Sep 23, 2008
Fed Chair Ben Bernake and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson have begun testifying before the Senate Banking Committee about the $700 billion bailout. Steve Henn reports lawmakers are circulating three versions.
Bernanke, Paulson head to Congress
Sep 23, 2008
Congress is pushing back on provisions in the Bush administration's bailout plan and will question the Fed Chairman and the Treasury Secretary at a hearing today. From Washington, Steve Henn reports.

I have been researching the family of Robert Deey Spedding, the son of Dr Demoiver and Wilhelmina Spedding (born 1798). He married twice: firstly Margaret Abraham (my relative) then after she died, Helena. Robert and Margaret had at least 5 children: Wilhelmina Charlotta Caroline 1828, Robert Deey 1829, Margaret Isabella 1832, John Whitley 1834, and William 1836. I have other information on the Speddings of Bray, if anyone recognises this family. I would love to hear from descendants of Robert and Margaret in particular.
