Wooden cremation urns are an excellent choice for a memorial and highly valued for natural beauty and warmth.
Many of these styles are made here in the USA and come in a variety of species and grain patterns. Hardwoods like Oak, Cherry, Walnut and Burl are available in our wood collection.
Wooden urns for ashes range from a simple pine boxes to elegant memorial chests and flag display case.
Whether your loved one was a biker, crazy about golf, or an American patriot, there's probably a cremation urn to match the personality and many styles can be personalized with engraving to create a custom memorial for your loved one.
Life has been compared to a series of seasons, with change being the most constant and some seasons being richer than others. Wood can reflect the change in seasons, as well as showcasing the awesome beauty of nature. With so many species of wood available, each one has it\'s own personality and characteristics.
Colors and grains can range from silky pinks to rich reddish browns with hints of purple. Some of the wood species include:
Cherry is an attractive wood in the rose family and is one of the most stable woods found, a favorite of wood crafters. The tan color of freshly cut cherry sometimes has a hint of pink. However, cherry quickly develops a warm reddish-brown patina. All wood develops a patina with age, some woodworkers say that cherry develops it faster than any other native species.
When New World explorers landed on the shores of Central America in search of bounty they discovered treasure in the form of mahogany wood. By the early 1700s, loads of mahogany were being shipped to the old countries, where it had become favored by Europe\'s royalty and was used for shipbuilding and fine furniture. Mahogany is a friendly wood to use and turners claim that mahogany holds its shape better than many wood species. Similar to cherry wood in weight and hardness, and its strength exceeds hard maple and oak.
Burl, or "burrs", are a natural defect that can actually increase the value of timber. Burls are caused by stress to a tree from fungal or insect attack, or small twigs that don't develop properly and are very common in trees. Burl wood is touchy to work with, but the end result is a beautiful one of a kind work of art.
This sturdy species was used for generations to create storage barrels and fine furniture. Tannic acids, which protect the wood from pests make oak a good choice for a burial urn. Its hardness, strength, durability, and easy-to-finish nature have made it a favorite of woodworkers.
Black walnut was commonly used for barn construction generations ago because of its superior resistance to decay and abundant supply. Today, supply and demand has made walnut one of the most expensive of all domestic species. The chocolate brown color of this wood brings a warm, comfortable look to any room, while its strength and durability ensure that the memorial urn will last for generations. The hardness of walnut falls between cherry (softer) and oak (harder).
The varieties of maple are known as sweet, rock, and black maple. Durable and abundant, maple wood was a popular choice among colonial woodworkers. Many of their projects can now be found in antique shops featuring the rich patina of age. Working with hard maple requires very sharp, well-tuned tools. Maple is so tough, it\'s the go to wood for funiture that gets a lot of wear, tool handles, farm equipment, and workbenches.
Rose Wood:
Rosewood applies to a group of trees located in the world\'s tropical area. Rich in appearance, rosewoods popularity dates to the 1700s when affluent Europeans imported it to adorn their opulent homes. Due to it\'s hardness, it\'s a difficult wood to work and is generally reserved for small projects and accent pieces.
Christopher Columbus described the pines of the New World as "trees stretching to the stars with leaves that never shed." Pine was so plentiful, that it became one of the woods that early settlers depended on for furniture and home construction. Many firms now salvage pine beams and timbers from old buildings to repurpose and mill into trim, moldings, flooring, and cabinets. Some of our pine wood urns are highly decorative and might be an alternative choice for the person who simply wants a "pine box".

Mam designers meet the highest expectations by having developed practical accessories for the dynamics of everyday baby life. Thanks to the Mam Clip & Cover the Soother stays clean and within easy reach despite baby's activities.
Just what I was looking for, have not seen covers for the MAM dummies anywhere else. My baby prefers these dummies and although they come in a box I always just want a small cover for them and the clip is so usefull when we go out and about. No more lost dummies.
this dummy clip is brilliant! my 8 month old son loves swinging his dummy aound on it (its never come off yet!!!))
this dummy clip is perfect! holds the mam dummies firmly and the cord is just the right length!! im going to buy another one so i have a spare
Really handy as means that when walking around and the dummy falls, it doesn't need sterilizing as is protected
i brought this and the clip is ok but the teat cover is a bit fiddly and does not fit on the larger teats made for 9-18months soothers. other than that the clip is in fantastic colours and my little on loves it.

The mission was successfully completed on February 21, 1968.
Surveyor 6
Successful lunar lander (USA)
Launched: November 7, 1967
Lunar landing: November 9, 1967
Surveyor 6 touched down in Sinus Medii. Once on the surface, the spacecraft took a series of pictures and soil samples. Then, on November 17, controllers ordered the spacecraft's engines to fire, lifting Surveyor 6 off the lunar surface 3 meters (10 feet) and setting it down again a few feet from the original landing site. The spacecraft then took pictures of the former landing site, checking for evidence of a crater created by the rocket's exhaust. No crater was found, indicating that the Moon's surface was solid. Last contact with the spacecraft was December 14, 1967.
Surveyor 5
Successful lunar lander (USA)
Launched: September 8, 1967
Lunar landing: September 10, 1967
Despite a serious helium leak that occurred during its trip to the Moon, controllers were able to bring Surveyor 5 to a success touchdown. Once on the ground, controllers ordered the spacecraft to fire its engine to test the composition of the soil beneath the lander. The test firing blew away a few clumps of soil, but did not create a crater. The final transmission from the spacecraft was received on December 17, 1967.
Lunar Orbiter 5
Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: August 1, 1967
Lunar orbit: August 5, 1967
Upon completion of this mission, over 99% of the Moon's surface had been mapped (with data from all previous missions combined). The mission ended when controllers sent the spacecraft crashing to the lunar surface on January 31, 1968.
Surveyor 4
Failed lunar lander (USA)
Launched: July 14, 1967
Controllers lost contact with Surveyor 4 just two and a half minutes before it was to touch down in Sinus Medii.
Lunar Orbiter 4
Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: May 4, 1967
Lunar orbit: May 8, 1967
The spacecraft was the first to take pictures of the Moon's south pole. It took images from orbit for eight months before controllers sent the spacecraft crashing to the lunar surface. Crashing the spacecraft into the Moon kept an area around the Moon clear of debris that might compromise the upcoming manned missions.
Surveyor 3
Successful lunar lander (USA)
Launched: April 17, 1967
Lunar landing: April 20, 1967
As Surveyor 3 came in for a soft landing on the Moon one of its thrusters didn't turn off at the proper time and the spacecraft bounced a couple of times before it came to rest in the Ocean of Storms. Onboard the spacecraft, a scoop was used to collect soil samples, and a camera took over 6,300 images.
Lunar Orbiter 3
Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: February 4, 1967
Lunar orbit: February 8, 1967
The spacecraft's orbit was altered several times during the mission to give controllers on Earth more experience with communications during lunar orbit. Lunar Orbiter 3 was able to photograph Surveyor 2 on the surface. The mission ended on October 9, 1967, when controllers deliberately crashed the spacecraft into the Moon.
Luna 13
Successful lunar lander (USSR)
Launched: December 21, 1966
Lunar landing: December 24, 1966
Luna 13 bounced to a landing on the lunar surface coming to a rest in the Oceans of Storms between the craters Selencus and Craft. The lander collected soil samples and conducted experiments to determine the soil density and radioactivity. The mission ended on December 30, 1966, when the spacecraft's supplies were depleted.
Lunar Orbiter 2
Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: November 6, 1966
Lunar orbit: November 6, 1966
Lunar impact: October 11, 1967
Lunar Orbiter 2 went into lunar orbit and took over 800 pictures during its mission, including an oblique view of the crater Copernicus that was voted one of the best images of the century by the press. The spacecraft was deliberately sent crashing into the lunar surface on October 11, 1967, bringing to an end the successful mission.
Luna 12
Successful lunar orbiter (USSR)
Launched: October 22, 1966
Lunar orbit: October 25, 1966
The primary mission of the spacecraft was to photograph the lunar surface and it did, taking 1,100 pictures including images of the Sea of Rains and the area surrounding the crater Aristarchus. The mission was terminated on January 19, 1967 after 602 orbits.
Surveyor 2
Failed lunar lander (USA)
Launched: September 20, 1966
Lunar impact: September 22, 1966
Just before touchdown, one of the thrusters on the spacecraft malfunctioned during a mid course correction and Surveyor 2 tumbled out of control. It crashed into the moon, southeast of the crater Copernicus.
Luna 11
Successful lunar orbiter (USSR)
Launched: August 24, 1966
Lunar orbit: August 27, 1966
The spacecraft, designed to test new technology, completed 277 orbits before its mission was terminated on October 1, 1966.
Lunar Orbiter 1
Successful lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: August 10, 1966
The spacecraft sent back high-quality images (by television) of over two million square miles of lunar surface, including the first detailed images of potential Apollo landing sites. After circling the Moon 527 times in 77 days, engineers on Earth deliberately crashed the spacecraft onto the Moon's surface, so that it wouldn't interfere with the upcoming manned missions.
Surveyor 1
Successful lunar lander (USA)
Launched: May 30, 1966
Surveyor 1 was the first spacecraft from the United States to perform a controlled landing on the surface of the Moon. Once on the surface, Surveyor 1 took over 11,100 images of the lunar landscape during its six-week mission.
Luna 10
Successful lunar orbiter (USSR)
Launched: March 31, 1966
Lunar arrival: April 2, 1966
Luna 10 arrived at the Moon becoming the first spacecraft to successfully go into orbit around another celestial body. While in orbit, Luna 10 studied radiation levels, cosmic ray intensities, and took readings of the Moon's weak magnetic field. The spacecraft successfully transmitted data for two months, circling the Moon 460 times before its mission came to an end on May 30, 1966.
Cosmos 111
Failed moon flyby (USSR)
Launched: March 1, 1966
The spacecraft was unable to achieve a lunar trajectory. It re-entered Earth's atmosphere on March 3, 1966.
Luna 9
Successful lunar lander (USSR)
Launched: Jan. 31, 1966
Lunar landing: February 3, 1966
Luna 9 became the first spacecraft to make a controlled landing onto the surface of another celestial body. Scientists believe Luna 9 landed on the sloping floor of a shallow crater. Over the next two days, the spacecraft sent back three panoramas of the lunar landscape. During the second and third transmission, the spacecraft evidently shifted or settled a few centimeters, because the third batch of images were taken from a slightly different angle. The different angle allowed scientists to construct a stereoscopic view of the landing site and determine the distances to various rocks and depressions. The last communication with the spacecraft was on Feb. 5, 1966.
Luna 8
Failed lunar lander (USSR)
Launched: December 3, 1965
Lunar impact: December 6, 1965
Luna 8 made it to the Moon, but its retro rockets fired too late and the spacecraft crash-landed in the Ocean of Storms, east of the crater Galilei.
Luna 7
Failed lunar lander (USSR)
Launched: October 4, 1965
Lunar impact: October 7, 1965
Luna 7 made it to the Moon, but its retro rockets switched on too soon. The spacecraft crash-landed in the Ocean of Storms, west of the crater Kepler.
Zond 3
Successful lunar flyby (USSR)
Launched: July 18, 1965
Zond 3 took 25 images as it flew by the far side of the Moon, then transmitted the images back to Earth nine days later. After passing the Moon, the spacecraft went into a solar orbit.
Luna 6
Failed lunar lander (USSR)
Launched: June 8, 1965
On its way to the Moon, a rocket failed to turn off after a trajectory correction maneuver. As a result, Luna 8 missed the Moon and went into a solar orbit.
Luna 5
Failed lunar lander (USSR)
Launched: May 9, 1965
Lunar Impact: May 12, 1965
This mission was the first-ever attempt to soft-land a spacecraft on the Moon. Luna 5's retro-rockets failed to fire and the spacecraft crash-landed near the Sea of Clouds.
Ranger 9
Successful lunar impactor (USA)
Launched: March 21, 1965
Ranger 9 took over 5,800 images of the lunar surface before it crash-landed in the crater Alphonsus. Network television broadcasted images from the spacecraft as they were received - live from the Moon!

Successful lunar impactor (USA)
Launched: February 17, 1965
Moon impact: February 20, 1965.
Ranger 8 took over 7,100 high quality images of the lunar surface before it crash-landed in the Sea of Tranquility.
Ranger 7
Successful lunar impactor (USA)
Launched: July 28, 1964
Moon impact: July 31, 1964
Ranger 7 sent back the first high-quality images of the lunar surface before it crash-landed in the Sea of Clouds. Over 4,300 images were sent back.
Ranger 6
Failed lunar impactor (USA)
Launched: January 30, 1964
Moon impact: February 2, 1964.
Ranger 6 was designed to take a series of images as it approached the Moon, right up to the point where it crashed into its surface. Unfortunately, the spacecraft's cameras failed and no pictures were returned. Ranger 6 crash-landed in the Sea of Tranquility.
Luna 4
Failed lunar orbiter (USSR)
Launched: April 2, 1963
Contact with Luna 4 was lost after it past within 9,300 kilometers (5,780 miles) of the Moon.
Sputnik 25
Failed lunar lander (USSR)
Launched: January 4, 1963
After a successful launch, the spacecraft failed to transfer to a lunar trajectory and burnt up as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere.
Ranger 5
Failed lunar Lander (USA)
Launched: October 18, 1962
A solar cell onboard Ranger 5 failed shortly after launch. Without power, engineers on the ground were unable to control the spacecraft and Ranger 5 missed the Moon by 720 kilometers (450 miles).
Ranger 4
Failed lunar lander (USA)
Launched: April 23, 1962
Lunar impact: April 26, 1962
After a successful launch, a failure of some sort onboard Ranger 4 made communication with the spacecraft impossible. Engineers were able to track the spacecraft until it crashed on the far side of the Moon, but were unable to collect any data.
Ranger 3
Failed lunar lander (USA)
Launched: January. 26, 1962
Designed to take close-up images of the Moon before impacting with its surface, Ranger 3 missed the Moon and ended up in a solar orbit.
Ranger 2
Failed Earth-orbit test vehicle (USA)
Launched: November 18, 1961
Ranger 2, like Ranger 1, was designed as a test vehicle. The spacecraft's engines failed to re-ignite after the spacecraft entered a low Earth orbit. The spacecraft burned up in Earth's atmosphere just two days after launch.
Ranger 1
Failed Earth-orbit test vehicle (USA)
Launched: August 23, 1961
Ranger 1 was the first US spacecraft designed to test the feasibility of going into a parking orbit around Earth before heading out to the Moon. A parking orbit would give engineers time to calculate a much more accurate trajectory for the spacecraft to follow to the Moon. Ranger 1 made it into low Earth orbit. Its engines, which were supposed to re-ignite after 13 minutes and burn for 90 seconds, only burned for a few seconds and then shut off. The spacecraft eventually re-entered Earth's atmosphere after completing 111 orbits.
Pioneer P-3
Failed lunar flyby USA
Launched: November 26, 1959
The protective cover that surrounded the spacecraft while it was attached to the rocket broke away after only 45 seconds in flight. As a result, the spacecraft failed to reach orbit and crashed back to Earth.
Luna 3
Successful lunar flyby (USSR)
Launched: October 4, 1959
Luna 3 was the first spacecraft to take pictures of the far side of the Moon. It is uncertain how many pictures the spacecraft returned, but three images were released to the public, as well as a composite image of the full disc of the Moon's far side, which was made up of several frames. As a result of these pictures, the Russians were the first to name features on the far side of the Moon. Luna 3's trajectory took the spacecraft from Earth, around the Moon and back, where it reentered the Earth's atmosphere on April 20, 1960.
Luna 2
Successful lunar impactor (USSR)
Launched: September 12, 1959
Lunar impact: September 14, 1959
Luna 2 was the first spacecraft to land on another celestial body. |The spacecraft impacted on the Moon's surface just east of the Sea of Serenity near the craters Aristides, Archimedes, and Autolycus. The spacecraft did not detect a magnetic field around the Moon.
Pioneer 4
Successful lunar flyby (USA)
Launched: March 3, 1959
Pioneer 4 passed within 60,000 kilometers (37,300 miles) of the Moon, returned data on lunar radiation levels, then entered a solar orbit.
Luna 1959A
Failed lunar impactor (USSR)
Launched: June 18, 1959
The rocket's guidance system failed and the spacecraft was unable to reach Earth orbit.
Luna 1
Failed lunar impactor (USSR)
Launched: January 2, 1959
The spacecraft missed the Moon and went into a solar orbit. However, the spacecraft did provide some scientific data when it released a sodium vapor cloud 70,000 miles from Earth that allowed scientists to study interplanetary gases.
Pioneer 3
Failed lunar flyby (USA)
Launched: December 6, 1958
The rocket's first stage shut off early, causing the spacecraft to crash.
Luna 1958C
Failed lunar impactor (USSR)
Launched: December 4, 1958
The rocket's first stage failed shortly after launch.
Pioneer 2
Failed lunar orbiter (USA)
Launched: November 8, 1958
Just after launch, the second stage of the rocket failed to ignite. As a result, the spacecraft did not achieve orbit and fell back to Earth.
Luna 1958B
Failed lunar impactor (USSR)
Launched: October 12, 1958
The rocket carrying the spacecraft to the Moon exploded just after liftoff. Although Luna 1958B was launched hours after Pioneer 1, its trajectory would have allowed it to beat Pioneer 1 to the Moon.
Pioneer 1
Failed lunar orbiter (USA)
Launch: October 11, 1958
Just after launch, the rocket's second and third stage failed to separate evenly. As a result, the spacecraft was unable to achieve a lunar trajectory. However, Pioneer 1 did manage to returned data on the Van Allen Belt and micrometeorite impacts before re-entering Earth's atmosphere on Oct. 12, 1958.
Luna 1958A
Failed lunar impactor (USSR)
Launch: September 23, 1958
The rocket carrying the spacecraft exploded just after liftoff.

FELICIA DAY returns! Sam and Dean investigate the mysterious deaths of two LARPers (Live Action Role Players) who were engaged in a game entitled Moondoor. The guys are thrilled to discover the Queen of Moondoor is none other than Charlie Bradbury (guest star FELICIA DAY), their quirky hacker friend who helped them fight Dick Roman last season. The three learn that an actual fairy (guest star TIFFANY DUPONT) has been enslaved and commandeered to harm people – and the only way to stop her is to find her master, an overzealous participant in the game.

Last month, Neil Armstrong died at age 82. One of the best test pilots of his generation, Armstrong thought that his chances to be an aviation pioneer had passed him by in 1947 when his future colleague Chuck Yeager became the first human to fly faster than speed of sound. That all changed when he entered the space program, of course, and in 1969, Armstrong made history when he became the first man to walk on the moon. (If that doesn't ring a bell to you kids, just picture the astronaut on the MTV Video Music Award.) The day of his August 31 memorial service was, appropriately enough, a "blue moon"—the second full moon in the same month, an astronomical oddity that won't happen again until 2015. In honor of Neil Armstrong and the Apollo astronauts, we've asked Jeopardy! champ Ken Jennings to run down some common misconceptions that lots of people still believe about the moon. Did you know it's not even made out of green cheese? Science ruins everything.
Moon Myth #1: I'll See You on the Dark Side of the Moon.
It should be obvious that, indeed, one half of the Moon is always lit by the Sun, and one half is dark. But, despite the impression you may have gotten from bad science-fiction movies and prog-rock albums, it's not always the same side...
The phrase "the dark side of the Moon" became cemented in the public mind during the years of the Apollo space program, and helped inspire Pink Floyd's top-selling album. But it's a little misleading. NASA used the term colloquially to refer to the far side of the Moon—that is, the side that always faces away from the Earth. (In a millennia-long process called "tidal locking," the Earth has gradually altered the Moon's orbit so that it rotates on its axis exactly as often as it rotates around the Earth, every 27.3 days, so we always see the exact same lunar features from Earth.) But that far side isn't dark at all—it gets exactly as much sunlight as the hemisphere we see. It's just "dark" in radio parlance—that is, transmitters on Earth couldn't reach it and vice versa.
So there's no truth to the popular idea of a mysterious, unlit half of the Moon's surface where anything (aliens, Transformers, General Zod from Superman II) could be lurking unseen in the darkness. The far side of the Moon was a mystery until the Space Age, but Soviet probes began photographing it in 1959, and its features were pretty well mapped by 1968, when the first human beings—the crew of Apollo 8—set eyes on the surface. They later told science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke that they'd been tempted to radio back a description of large black 2001 monolith on the back of the moon, but finally decided against it, thus ruining what would have been the best prank in American history.
Quick Quiz: The first two singles on Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon had titles that were synonyms—according to Ben Franklin, anyway. What were the songs called?
Ken Jennings is the author of Brainiac, Ken Jennings's Trivia Almanac, and Maphead. He's also the proud owner of an underwhelming Bag o' Crap. Follow him at ken-jennings.com or on Twitter as @KenJennings.
What are Time and Money?
The near side of the moon is actually a little darker than the far side. First, it has the maria ("seas") which have a darker color. Second, during a lunar eclipse, the Earth stops light from reaching the near side, whereas the far side never is eclipsed. So the near side gets slightly less sunlight over time than the far side.
I debunk the debunker!!
Many people consider a "blue moon" to be the 2nd full moon in a calendar month, but that's not the traditional (and original) definition. It was originally defined to be the 3rd full moon in a calendar season which has 4 full moons. It turns out that August 31 was a "blue moon" by both definitions, however.
Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_moon for a more detailed discussion.
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "Munchkin Land"
Time = Money

I wonder if the reflected "earth light" brightens the surface of the moon very much. If it does, then you could argue that the "facing side" of the moon is brighter.
There may not be a dark side to the moon but there are permanently dark areas on the moon's surface. Craters near the poles are permanently dark and hover just a few degrees above absolute zero.
Dark in this sense has to do with knowledge. It is not referring to sunlight or color. We knew little to nothing about the far side of the moon until 1959. We were 'in-the-dark' about it.
As another example, the term 'Dark Africa' was used when the continent's interior was mainly unexplored by Europeans.

"Time" and "Money" are correct. Very nice, cygnwulf. You have control of the board.
That's cool about the original definition of "blue moon." Did not know that.
dankmd wrote:Dark in this sense has to do with knowledge.
That's plausible, but I actually believe the "radio-dark" story instead for one reason: text searches show that references to "dark side of the moon" are almost unheard of pre-Sputnik, but the phrase became colloquial very quickly during the Gemini and Apollo era (but before the Pink Floyd record). If "dark side of the moon" always just meant "the unknown side," you'd think it would have caught on decades or centuries earlier, the way "Darkest Africa" did.
Reminds me of a Farside cartoon. I love these.

How long does the moon stay full?
LarryLars wrote:How long does the moon stay full?
I've wondered something about that too. If you see a full moon wherever you are, someone on the other side of the earth cannot possibly see a full moon at the same time.
So, when you see charts that say when the next full moon will be, is that geographically dependent?
This debunking could have saved Heinz Doofenshmirtz all that trouble in Doof Side of the Moon.

The joy of google!
Money and Time
Do I need to google to see if Ben Franklin said Time is money?
Guess I will.
I did.
Yes. Ben is the first to say time is money.

Do you have limited room to store your devices? Save valuable space with our budget-friendly Tablet Charging Cabinet, which charges and stores a mixture of tablets, smartphones and handheld devices. Mount the cabinet to the wall or countertop. Secret hack: remove the top shelf of the 16-unit cabinet and it becomes an 8-unit cabinet for ultra-thin laptops.
Anthro's Charging Cabinet holds up to 20 devices in a compact space (21"w x 12"d x 24"h) to save you room. Keyed locks on each door protect your devices. For added security, mount it to your wall with the enclosed hardware. Or bolt it to your countertop or shelf!
Mix and match any size, variety and manufacturer of tablets, smartphones and handheld devices in a single cabinet to charge and store them together. Need to support ultra-thin laptops? No problem; just remove the top shelf of the 16-unit cabinet to create the 8-unit cabinet you need!
Quickly connect devices to cords positioned at the front of each bay. You set the amount of slack so cords aren't strained when devices are docked. The cable channel along the top of the ABS polymer divider routes cords to the IT area. Cords are bundled and the power adapter is plugged in, tangle-free.
IT pros route and organize cords and transformers in their own locking area on the side of the cabinet. A single cabinet supports different types of devices from many manufacturers. Simply route the cords at set-up and set the amount of slack at the front of the bay so cords aren't strained when devices are docked.
Does it sync? Absolutely! Use either your facility's wireless network or, for a wired connection, use Anthro's USB Sync Kit (sold separately). Kit comes with one 10-port hub, ten cords with a USB connector on one end and a 30-pin connector on the other end, one data cord for the laptop, and one cable with AC power adapter.
Roomy storage bays hold your devices safely, with or without a case. The Standard cabinet has twenty bays measuring 7/8"w x 10.5"d x 8.5"h. The Big Case cabinet has sixteen bays measuring 1.25"w x 10.5"d x 8.5"h. Each bay is numbered so you can see at a glance which devices are docked and which are in use.
Doors, panels, and inner divider are ventilated to keep air moving throughout the enclosure so devices stay cool.
The cabinet comes with a 10-foot long power cord to reach your nearest outlet. Or wire a power connection behind the unit and access it through a notch in the back panel. The on/off switch directs power to all the cart's outlets. An indicator light shows when the power is off and it's safe to plug in your devices.
Laptop storage slot in the front User Area measures 13.75"w x 10"d x 2"h. Keep the laptop up front with your tablets and leave the side IT Area locked. Route the laptop's power cord into the cabinet's cable management system so the connection is positioned right where you need it.
The link label on the inside of each door links you to the cart's owner's manual, trouble-shooting guide, and updates from Anthro. Scan the QR Code on the label and you're there!

Windshield Snow Cover-Car 14 14
Others so impressed, both covers have been stolen I often work late and return to a car sitting in a dark, deserted parking lot --with a heavily frosted windshield. I thought these covers would be a good alternative to being a sitting duck for muggers while either scraping the windshield or sitting in the car trying to defrost windshield. Worked well, I could put on easily, quickly by myself in a couple of minutes in morning. Grabbing cover and dragging it off to remove was even faster and did not damage windshield or car finish. Even stayed in place when weather turned unexpectedly windy ( Magnets are NOT strong enough to withstand high wind conditions). Others were so impressed with product that both of my covers have stolen!!! Great if you are going to use in your own driveway, but no way to prevent theft. I'm thinking of buying one more and adding strap that would close in the door to prevent theft. But that would increase difficulty of putting cover on. January 26, 2013
My wife loves it... She used it this morning with snow & rain predicted all day. She loves it- easy to put on and easy to take off. January 28, 2013
Favorable windshield snow cover for car I read the instructions and installed it on my car before the snow fell as a practice run. It's very easy to use and has worked well. February 27, 2014
No more waiting for the windshield to thaw! My new house does not have a garage so vehicles left out side. When it snows or sleets, have to go out and scrap or wait for the defrost to melt windshield ice. This cover was easy to install and remove. Not too expensive or complicated. January 29, 2013

Pics Aplenty: Ford F-150 SVT Raptor at Baja 1000 like a pig in mud
by John Neff (RSS feed) on Dec 4th, 2008 at 7:28PM
We recently told you how the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fared competing in the Baja 1000. The Blue Oval's new super duper off-roader finished third in the Class 8 division, which is impressive considering it was built for the lower level Stock Full class in which it couldn't compete this time because the production version is not yet for sale. We've gone for a ride in the Raptor through the deserts of Nevada, but after looking through the gallery below, our experience probably wasn't as much fun as piloting the truck through 631 miles of the Baja Desert. Clearly the Raptor's first foray into... Read More

Furry leopard mittens

Oooh those mittens look so soft!! And yea, I'm going to try not to shop in February or March...maybe even April. But I almost have enough credit card points for a marshalls gift card ;)

Haha, it's okay, Lyddie! We all have times when we buy a little more than we should. Sometimes you will have months when you find nothing, and sometimes you will just have to buy everything. It all evens out in the end. Somehow, I haven't purchased anything for over a month... I blame it on my busy college schedule (and that purchase of my 100$ velvet dress has set me back a bit lol lol).
But hey, you're precious. I love the red and leopard together. Those mittens look so warm and cute!

Adorable! I actually don't own anything that has animal prints on it I should really reconsider and add a few prints to my collection but those gloves definitely look warm considering how cold it has been around here...

Ah dude, those gloves looks warm, super soft and totally worth three dollars! (Actually a pretty decent price for gloves and gloves are sort of essential....) I really like the colors and the overall look of the outfit, that red coat is so sharp, it looks like it was tailored for me and fits you to a tee. (So pretty with the leopard hat as well.)

This might be my favourite outfit of yours... ever! The leopard hat and mittens paired with a red coat, and brown accessories could not be a more perfect combination - you look gorgeous :) I love your curls, too!

This coat! Ugh.
Yeah that no shopping in January thing didn't happen for me either. At least I did manage the no shopping for fashion week thing.
I just dug my red coat out of the closet. If I can dig up some leopard I'm going to do an inspired-by-Lydia thing.

JCP is seriously the best. I can't believe how affordable they are. Red is such a great color on you.

Thanks for this proposal. I was thinking about writing one myself.

What do you think about a possibility to handle large objects on S3? Maybe with Zend_Memory?

Apr 04, 2007

Define large objects. <ac:emoticon ac:name="smile" />

In the projects I've used S3 one, I've always just grabbed directly from S3, and outputted or manipulated as needed. At that point I'm dealing with files that are still measured in Kb though. I believe the majority of dynamic usage is going to either be direct output (i.e., static content stored on S3) or retrieving a file to work on locally. In the latter case, I imagine most people are going to dump them into their underlying file system, then manipulate them as necessary along the lines of handling an uploaded file.

As far as using Zend_Memory, I'm not opposed to it, but I'm not sure if it would be possible unless you can pipe the results of an HTTP request into Zend_Memory directly. If that's possible, it's just a matter of allowing the specification of the container that should be used for the retrieved object. In the current implementation that I've done (the Domain51_ version), it returns the raw XML from Amazon's response.

Apr 04, 2007

Well, let's say 100 MB? 1 GB? Or just anything larger, than a php process can handle. Normally you read the content of a file and send it to amazon, or read it from there... In a case of a big file, you should somehow stream it from/to S3 without having it all in memory.

Apr 04, 2007

I think the 100Mb is probably about the right area where straight PHP (assuming no objects are loaded) is going to have issues. Of course, that's assuming 128Mb memory limit.

The trick here is that this would have to had an HTTP stream in order to work the way you're wanting. I'm not opposed to doing that, but I don't believe ZF is capable of that yet. I would say the best approach is to start with the simple case, then add the fringe cases after everything else is working.

The current API would allow some sort of streaming pretty easily though, as all requests are filtered through Zend_Service_Amazon_S3_Connection::doRequest(). A possible solution would be to add a Z_S_A_S3_C::setRequestHandler(Object $handler) which would pass the HTTP request off to the container, then let it finish the request.

Maybe there's a use for a Zend_Service_Amazon_S3_Connection_Request object to provide the basic API?

Jul 07, 2007

Hi, is anything going to happen with this proposal? I wrote my own S3 class using Zend_Http_Client and I thought I could write a proposal to get it in the framework if this one is dead.

Jul 07, 2007

Hey Tomas,

There was never any commentary on this, so I haven't proceeded forward on getting the code into ZF.

Aug 14, 2007

I am really interested in having this proposal reviewed and accepted.

In the mean time, Travis could you make the code available ?

Dec 12, 2007

Will there be specific methods to set the bucket or object Access Control policy during a PUT request? (x-amz-acl header)

ie: private, public-read, public-read-write and authenticated-read status.

Example: As the default is a highly restrictive 'private', if this bucket were to be read from a browser with no authentication, it should be possible to set READ access with x-amz-acl: public-read as part of the PUT request while writing the object.

I feel it might be useful to have a separate method to set this value.

This is a great component proposal and hope it gets accepted soon.

A Very Specific Character Name Need
This male character is very smart, like 17 or 18 years old, a scientist, a bit nerdy but well-expressed and eloquent, but from a different parallel universe, one where the names are similar to our world, but slightly different. However, for specific plot related reasons, this character (who will become a main character), needs to have a first and last name using these specific letters (and only these letters, nothing more, nothing less): I R D O V N E E T S FUpdated Name List- http://www.ebabynames.com/list/eff115- Vote away...
