Well I've been absent for a little while, but I'm good to go, and I have alot of catching up to do, and lots of training to get accomplished on here.
The first thing I would like to share is a few videos I've made on youtube. These videos were mainly just for fun, and to show up a few a**hats that have been making life a little rough for the "poorer" class people that can't afford main stream type weapons.
I hope you enjoy, and provide any feedback if you wish (nobody's perfect, and if I made mistakes, please let me know).

Everything worked out really well with our invitations. They sent more than the number of invites we requested. :)
I love my invitations! I got my save the dates through Magnet Street and I was able to use my saved colors and keep the same theme for my invitations!
Modern Elegance
I LOVE my invitations. I personalized them to have our logo replace the logo that originally came on the front of the invitation. I removed the arrows on the front as well but left the ones inside. I changed the colors multiple times and the final result is perfect. I love that you can request custom changes to make your invite exactly what you want. I was even called to make sure my numbers were correct because I ordered less of one product (on purpose). The service and speed were right on target and the cost point could not have been better. The coupons are fabulous and so is the quality. My invitations cost half of what my sister-in-laws cost from an invitation shop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Great quality and design!
I was really impressed by the quality of the wedding invitations I received! Everyone I've shown has absolutely loved them. They arrived quickly, which was really helpful!
Just as great as I expected!
My invitations came in yesterday, and I am so in love. Although a bit pricey, they are TOTALLY worth the money.

WOW! From the opening scene and the first interaction between the unconventional,sadistic teacher and the young,ambitious student,I knew this was going to be an incredible movie! J.K.Simmons owned every scene he was in. It's no wonder he won the Oscar. Easily the best movie of pushing yourself beyond your limits to achieve perfection I've seen since Black Swan.
The owner of an oil company purchases a prime location for his growing business. All the while,his fleet of vehicles are being held up for their oil. Between that and the company being under scrutiny for faulty records ,this adds to the stress of a moral obligation which takes it's toll on his employees,company and his marriage. With strong performances from both Oscar Issac and Jessica Chastain,this is a slow burning,compelling drama about achieving the American dream.Just might be the best movie of the year NOT nominated for any Oscars!
So,a galaxy outlaw who's a legend in his own mind and has a thing for all things retro,steals a mini death star that if it landed in the wrong hands,could destroy the galaxy? That's the long and short of this absurd Marvel movie. Zoe Saldana plays a green Avatar this time around and Vin Diesel is a walking talking tree with a 3 word vocabulary. How appropriate is that? Most of his acting is wooden anyway,so the irony is not lost on me.This was like the clunky version of The Avengers with worse dialogue,character development,and it was trying too hard to be overly funny.
If you would've told me 5 or 6 years ago that someone from The Wolf Pack would turn out to be a great actor,I would've laughed in your face. But such is the case with Bradley Cooper in American Sniper. Through each of his tours in Iraq,you can see him become more distant and disconnected from his family and the ones he loves.Each tour gets more intense than the last one and Clint Eastwood may have topped himself once again. Certainly his best movie since Mystic River.

Magill, South Australia
Adelaide, South Australia
UniSA Magill Campus
|34°54′32″S 138°40′33″E / 34.909°S 138.6758°ECoordinates: 34°54′32″S 138°40′33″E / 34.909°S 138.6758°E
|8,229 (2011 Census)[1]
Magill is a suburb of Adelaide in the City of Burnside and the City of Campbelltown. It incorporates the suburb previously known as Koongarra Park.
Magill is a suburb located approximately 7 km from the Adelaide CBD in the eastern suburbs. Magill was first established as the 524-acre (2.12 km2) Makgill Estate, owned by two Scots, Robert Cock and William Ferguson, who met on the Buffalo en route to the newly founded colony of South Australia. It was named after Cock's trustee, David M. Makgill. The estate's homestead was built in 1838 by Ferguson, who was charged with farming the estate. Soon after farming commenced the two were short of cash, and thus Magill became the first foothill village to be subdivided.
Nowadays Magill has a population of 11,222, is home to one of Penfolds Wineries, a shopping centre, a Respite Agency, UniSA Magill Campus and the historic Murray Park Estate. It is sometimes divided into Magill South and Magill North to distinguish what local government area they belong to as Magill is in both the City of Burnside and the City of Campbelltown.
Magill has three educational institutions, Magill Primary School on Magill Road, Norwood Morialta High School (Senior Campus) on The Parade, and University of South Australia (Magill Campus) on St Bernards Road.

Mail order evaluation 2013
OK, I ordered a hell of a lot of stuff this year.
Bay Laurel
Edible Landscaping
One Green World
Indiana Berry
Botany Shop Garden Center
A surprising entry here is Hirt's Gardens, ordered from Amazon. Impressive elderberries.
Everything from above was exceptional. Well packaged huge plants bursting with vigor!
OK, not great
Raintree - I had a huge order, all is OK, but the plants are pretty beat up.
Berries Unlimited - Small and deformed to fit package
Try to avoid
Burnt Ridge - Plants were shipped by slow boat, show weak growth Some plants were so dry I had to trim dead brown stems off of them.
American Meadows - like a big box store that has plants on the shelf for weeks before you buy it. The one plant I ordered was dry, and had weak growth. It did survive though and is now ok.
Honeyberry USA - Plants were very small for the price. Overbooked sales. Plants showed weak growth, one died.
This is a rather new nursery, and they have sent great plants to others. I did order in February though, and should have received the best plants. I may give them another chance.
I had great luck with burnt ridge this spring. The trees were large and have grown well.
Just fruits and exotics in Fl sent me a couple oreintal persimmons, they looked good but were slower to lead out than the one I got from burnt ridge, still I'm happy.
I was super impressed with Whitman farms in OR I got 2 1gal geraldi dwarf mulberries and an illini moonlight magnolia, they look great and were packaged wonderfully!
Most of my burnt ridge stuff was great. Blue Damson plum was almost an inch on the caliper and put out some blooms within a few days of being in the ground. Van cherry, Montrose Apricot and Mulberry were all good. Montmorency was a little small. The Stanley plum I got had been chewed on by deer and has no branches. Showing no signs of growth yet although the others all are. They're sold out of the Stanley now so I'm really hoping it makes it. Also, they had my grape labeled as a blackberry and blackberry as grape.
Their packaging was impecable. They shipped my stuff on a friday (no idea why they would do that) and it didn't arrive til the following Wednesday but everything was still very moist and all but one were dormant. I would definitely order from them again in the future. Prices can't be beat and I was very happy with what arrived.
Bay Laurel:
Communication: Excellent
Packaging: Excellent
Size and Vigor: From Dave Wilson, excellent; from L.E. Cooke, poor. I asked them not to trim roots or tops. Later shipping would have been better for my zone.
Communication: Excellent
Packaging: Excellent
Size and Vigor: Excellent
Everything in great shape and shipped late enough for my cold spring. This is my 5th year ordering from them.
England's Orchard & Nursery:
Communication: Excellent
Packaging: Excellent:
Size and Vigor: Excellent
Shipped in fall. My NC-10 was not fully dormant and I should have asked for spring shipment or kept it potted in the garage. It did not make it but I just received a replacement.
Communication: Adequate
Packaging: Excellent
Size and Vigor: Disappointing
I expected trees for $20.00, but the Peterson pawpaws were a foot tall in 4" pots.
One Green World
Communication: Excellent
Packaging: Excellent
Size and Vigor: Excellent
They held shipping my order until the black current I ordered was up to size, which was fine with me. My original order was placed in November by mail. Between then and April when I added to my order there was a price increase that added $6.00 to my previously ordered items. They initially charge this, but I did receive a refund.
Nourse Farms
Communication: Excellent
Packaging: Excellent
Size and Vigor: Excellent
I finally got my hands on Guelph asparagus. They arrived in great shape but I was surprised that there was no material to keep the roots moist. I've never ordered asparagus before so I don't know what to expect really. Everything I've ever ordered from Nourse has been far above the norm in quality.

At least you didn't order from Miller Nurseries. I ordered honeyberry plants last year. One was a brittle stick with dead roots attached. They sent a replacement, that was also 100% dead. They replaced that one this spring with an unbelievable third dead plant. I will avoid Miller's from now on.
I got some nice trees from Fowler Nursery in Newcastle, CA and Cloud Mountain Farm Center.in Everson, WA.
The trees from Fowler Nursery were small, unbranched whips, about 4.5 feet tall (and not headed), but that's EXACTLY what I want. I ordered from them last year and was pleased with what I received then, too, though the trees were bigger.
First time ordering from Cloud Mountain Farm Center and would order from them again.
I received great bushes from Burnt Ridge (sea buckthorn seedlings and haskap this year, hazelnuts in the past), which I can recommend across the board for vigor. The Cummings order (25 trees) was excellent except for some of the large apple trees (Northern Spy on B9, a couple of G11) having relatively little root. Raintree sent 6 trees, four pawpaws and six vines, mostly good, one mulberry and one pawpaw look poor.
w3Plants Botanical Growers
- Sweetcrisp Blueberry - large and reasonably priced
Henry Fields
- Ka Bluey Blueberry (jumbo) - good size, well packaged
- More items incoming...
- Obsidian Blackberry - 4" pot, well packaged, reasonably priced, quickly shipped
Indiana Berry
- Good customer service, very good pricing, decent quality plants
I purchased a number if items from farms / nurseries operating through Ebay and nearly all of it was shipped quickly and of good quality and price. All and all, nearly all of my purchases have been at least acceptable to good. I insisted on buying plants last year in the middle of a record heat wave and those plants were a bit worse than average but that is at least somewhat my fault.
I ordered 5 honeyberry from Burnt Ridge. Most were ok looking and doing well. One looked dead when I got (leaves were brown, dry and would crumble when handled).
I called and told them about it and they told me to give it a little time. It's been about a month and all the others are doing well except this one which is still dead.
I'm going to call today about gettin,g a replacement. I'll post an update.
Burnt Ridge - I ordered a lot from them. Overall, good plants. However, the size of the trees is a crap shoot. Like Hman mentioned, some of the trees were tiny. The smallest was Enterprise apple which was about 20 inches tall with a diameter the size of yarn. Yet, many others were nice sized with good roots. They really need to give an option to choose size and price like they do for many other plants they sell. Customer service was very good.
Indiana Berry - I ordered blackberry and raspberry. Great prices and they don't require you order in groups of five like many other sellers.
Double A Vineyard - Best root systems on bareroot plants that I've ever seen. Also the only place that I found to carry all the Arkansas varieties.
Ison's - I bought two of their hard to find Russian pomegranate. Great price and nice sized trees. Unfortunately, one never leafed out, but they will send a replacement in the fall.
Nolin River - Bought two American persimmon. A little high on price, but trees are hard to find. Neither has leafed out, but scratch test shows green under bark.
Fruit Tree Farm - Great plants, best prices on the net.
McKenzie Farm - Excellent. Customer service was top notch, great plant, great prices. Highly recommended for citrus plants.
milehighgirl - I have ordered from Nourse Farms for a few years and have been very pleased with the blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. I am waiting for more raspberries as I want to grow Heritage for height. A pick your own farm we go to (Yellow Hill farms) in PA is the most picturesque, clean, family run place and the bushes are perfect. They get their stock from Nourse.
This year's results:
St Lawrence Nurseries
Two trees (apple and plum). Nice sized, good roots, Plum had a bit of green on the bud tips which did not fair too well with our cold snap (-3F). But the apple is nicely dormant. Too soon to say if they will leaf out.
In past years the trees I have gotten here have been of good quality, shipped quickly and dormant.
Mixed results. The $5 Gold Rush apple was very good quality and dormant, and arrived at the right time for planting. English walnut was nice sized but had started to break dormancy but looks like it will survive. Blueberries were a disaster, took two to three reshipments to get live ones. On the good side, customer service was very pleasant to deal with and willing to reship until I got some living plants. Again too early to say what will eventually grow.
Henry Fields
Disaster. They shipped two Prime-Jan blackberries a month or more too early, and when they arrived they were in leaf. Customer service would have reshipped, but they were all sold out so they refunded my purchase price (but not the shipping).
I got some exceptional plants from Nourse, AA Vineyards, Arboreum, ACN, and even Raintree had good blackberries for a change. I was somewhat disappointed in Berries Unlimited, the 1-gal plants were 1-qt plants in a lot of extra dirt.
Re: Millers they love to do that trick of replacing dead plants with nearly-dead plants; nearly all the replacements I got them them were horrible quality and died. I tried for three years to get a Rochester peach from them that wouldn't die but I gave up.
I got two pink lemonade blueberries from Starks in 1 gallon size. They each had a pencil or thicker stem with multiple other stems. both have since leafed out although a few of the smaller branches died back.
a 3 year meyer lemon from four winds that had significant die back of all the new growth leaves and then the branches back to the main branches (it may have gotten too cold during shipping?). The tree is holding on now but is only putting out new growth on two branches. Additionally the tree was shaped kind of odd. They typically are rated very highly so maybe i got unlucky.
I also got 2 banana plants from going bananas. They showed up looking great and i thought they had excellent customer service.
My orders from Burnt Ridge last two years have been very good. They included pawpaws, Am. persimmon seedlings, goumi, raspberries, jujube. All were small but healthy and packed well.
I just put in my BR order for this year (apple, apricot, seaberry, jujube, and Asian persimmon) but have not received it yet.
Rolling River sent me some very nice autumn olive plants and a Chinese yam, very carefully packed. I will order from them again as long as they have what I'm looking for at the time.
I bought a cherry tree from burnt ridge about 3 weeks ago and just got it this week. I had emailed them ahead of time and asked how large their trees were, they said most are 4-5'. mine was about 42" including roots (root ball was kind of mediocre) so a little short of the mark and kind of scrawny, but its budding out and seems to be doing ok. I bought some kiwis from them 2-3 years ago that were huge but im a little disappointed with this order, but I think itll be ok
When trees are available of types I seek I generally prefer nurseries that produce for commercial growers. Size will fluctuate somewhat depending on previous growing season but I know what's coming ahead of time as they detail sizes in statement before shipping. Quality is always good, besides a few crooked trees, and they are packed beautifully.
Of course, because I order in some quantity, bundles of 5 of each variety, I pay only around $10 a tree- something the likes of Raintree, or Trees of Antiquity won't do for me- although TofA gives me some discount.
The two large nurseries I'm using these days are Adams and Van Well, both of whom sell individual trees to the small grower as well. The trick with such nurseries is to order now for next year so you get what you want. Adams is selling more antique apple varieties every year.
To respond to Harvestman's general recommendation of the kind of nurseries that sell to commercial growers, I ordered two or three trees several years ago from C&O and got surprised with various unexpected small order fees that about doubled the cost of the trees over what I was expecting. Those fees might have been in the fine print somewhere and I overlooked them, but I'd be extra careful reading the fine print if I ordered from a nursery that sold mainly to customers not like me.
For a general response to this thread, since last summer I've received orders from Edible Landscaping, Hidden Springs, and Burnt Ridge, each of which I'd dealt with at least a couple times before. I think Burnt Ridge is alright, not great. I'd recommend Edible Landscaping and Hidden Springs very highly. Hidden Springs seems to mostly sell pretty young/small stuff, but they've got great prices, and everything of theirs I've planted has come on strong and done great (which I can't say for some of the larger stuff I've gotten.)
I also ordered tree seed from F W Schumacher, and everything was fine with that order other than a very small small-order fee I wasn't expecting and the order taking about a month longer to arrive than I would have thought reasonable.
I did not have a good experience with C & O and won't order from them again.
Here is a link that might be useful: C & O Nursery..not a good experience
Milehigh, I ordered from C+O for years- mostly to get cherries in gisela root stock but I also ordered certain plums I can't get on the east coast. Their trees always arrived in excellent shape and were of very good size.
Recently they've drastically reduced their selection and are no longer of use to me- I tried Van Well at Opea's suggestion as a replacement source and have not been disappointed.
However, I get my orders in early and I'm not a small customer (except by commercial grower standards) so my experience may be different. I believe that Garden Watchdog gives C+0 a good rating, though.
I would never order from a nursery that doesn't let me know the size of the trees I'm getting ahead of time if I had a choice. In rather extensive experience with stock, I haven't found that smaller trees tend to establish faster at all, and, in fact, I have to baby sit them for an additional year before they are ready to sell. To the home buyer that's the equivalent of waiting an extra year to enjoy a harvest.
As far as nurseries that cater to home growers, I believe if a company sends out mass mailings to sell stuff the expense of said mass mailings generally comes out of the quality and size of their merchandise. Also that you are best off dealing with nurseries that grow their own merchandise. Raintree is an exception to this rule and there are others.
Cummins and Trees of Antiquity are two very good nurseries that produce all their own stock.
Oddly I found that the inventory of Orange Pippin coincided exactly with the inventory of Cummins.
I agree with you regarding mass mailings. In fact I usually refrain from buying from a company that has a really polished website. I hear Grandpa's is good and they have a nice website, so that can't be the only factor, but there is a physical limit to how many varieties can be grown well by a single company.
Cummins and Trees of Antiquity are really up there in quality IMHO.
I ordered from Grandpas twice second time they sent me a Crimson Gold apple instead of a Crimson Crisp apple. They quickly fixed the problem and I got a free tree out of the deal. They seem to have increased their inventory hugely in the past couple of years.
I am a repeat customer with the five nurseries that sent me very nice trees this year; Ison's, Edible Land, Rraintree, and Bay Laurel. I also ordered from Rolling River and Burnt Ridge this year. I don't care for their tiny trees and probably won't order from either nursery in the future but the tree from Rolling River is thriving and I expect it to do well. Burnt Ridge on the other hand told me to continue to watch the dead trees and completly avoided the fact that they are dead and my request for replacements.
Sometimes you have to settle for small trees. When I order nut trees or persimmons from small nurseries such ans England's trees are most likely to be quite small, but I know of no one else that has the varieties they grow.
The reason I ordered a tree from Burnt Ridge was because they carried Calville Blanc and the price was right- but I would have tried to find it elsewhere if I'd known it would be so small.
Burnt Ridge - I ordered 8 fruit trees, 1 was missing and I wasn't charged. Maybe they ran out. Plant quality was good. My sugarcane jujube was almost an inch thick but my silk hope was very small I would order from them again.
Stark bros - same quality as Burnt Ridge. I would order again.
Ison - GREAT plants but small.
Bottom Nursery- bigger and and stronger muscadines.
Edible lanscaping - I picked up my plants there. Plant were very healthy but small.
It seems overall the mail order nurseries did really well.
I made 2 more orders to One Green World, and the plants are great. No bare root, all actively growing plants, dirt and all, no wilting, large, nice!
Also for 7 dollars I ordered a 2nd Carmine Jewel. A tissue cultured plant was sent by Henry Fields, and we all know this nursery is more for the casual gardener, I must say the tree is excellent. Very impressive.
In a trade I also obtained Cupid and Juliet, very nice and growing well!
I ordered one tree from Arboreum and didn't receive it during the normal planting season, despite numerous emails to them.
I finally did receive the tree. Then a few weeks later received an email asking if I received my tree. I told them I did. Received another email from them a while later telling me the carrier mistakenly sent my tree to Bucyrus, Ohio instead of Bucyrus KS and they couldn't track the tree down. I told them I had already received my tree, but they sent me another one anyway.
I ended up getting both trees in very good condition.
Aboreum gets a "D" in communication, but I give them a "B+" (or even an A-) overall because their stock is very good and they really do try to satisfy their customers in the end. They just need to read their emails.
I ordered just a couple different plums to try from Burnt Ridge. One was OK, but the other had pretty bad damage to the trunk (damage about 2/3 the way through the trunk). Tree did leaf out and is still alive.
I got 25 trees from Adams. They were fine except that one tree had an active crown gall on the roots, which confirmed why I've seen crown gall on some of their trees I've dug up and moved.
I've had a couple bad experiences in the past with C&O and probably won't order from them again. One problem as Milehigh mentioned, is the extra fees they tack on, making their trees expensive. Another issue is that one year they couldn't fill my order because frigid winter weather killed some of their stock. That's understandable, but they kept my deposit money (as a credit to my account) instead of sending it back to me.
This happened once with Arboreum, but like any good business, Arboreum refunded my money to me in the form of a check.
I re-read every review. On line the only nursery I could find that sells 'Calville Blanc d'Hiver' is Orange Pippin USA. It sounds as if Orange Pippin only sells whips is this true? I do not want a whip I want a a three year old tree on dwarf stock. Help! Mrs. G
Mrs G, many places sell Calville Blanc. See the Google search below for lots of them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Calville in Google
"Olpea, Could you expand on your problems with C&O?"
I ordered from them a couple times, the last time was 2 or 3 years ago. I don't want to give the impression they were terrible, but I was dissatisfied enough the last time that I probably won't order from them again.
The first time I ordered I discovered after I placed my order they have a big boxing fee. It's been a long time, but I think it was an extra $15. I don't believe any other nursery I do business with charges this random fee if you order at least 3 trees. Additionally I think they charged more for shipping than other nurseries in WA. It significantly increased the cost of my small order. I don't mind occasionally paying a high price for a variety or two that I really want to try, but I like knowing the cost on the front end.
The last time I ordered from them, they had a winter freeze event that apparently killed all their young peach trees. I had already made a deposit on a small peach tree order. They wrote me a letter indicating they couldn't fill my order because the trees died. That's understandable, they couldn't do anything about that, but they kept my deposit money as a credit to my account. I thought that unprofessional and probably a marketing decision by some manager as a "clever" way to insure their customers come back for repeat business. The way they handled that irked me a little.

The invention relates to detectors of penetrating radiation, in particular x-radiation. The detector comprises a photoconductive material to which two electrical signals are applied. An output signal is detected and in the presence of radiation incident on the detector this includes a component formed by mixing of the two input signals, an harmonic if they are of the same frequency.

The present invention relates to the detection of penetrating radiation and relates especially, although not exclusively, to the detection of X-radiation.
Conventionally, radiographic apparatus has detected the intensity of X-radiation, after passage through the body of a patient, by exposure of suitable film. It has been known, however, to use other detectors such as fluoroscopic screens. In radiographic apparatus of the type known as computerised tomographic apparatus, X-rays are directed through the patient's body along many linear paths in a cross-section. The X-rays are then intercepted and their intensity measured by suitable detectors. Typically detectors for such apparatus are scintillator crystals which convert the radiation into visible light, the intensity of which is in turn measured by a photomultiplier or photodiode. The light detector then provides an output signal which is representative of the intensity of X-radiation incident on the scintillator crystal and which can then be processed to yield a representation of the variation of absorption of the radiation in the cross-section. Variations of the basic technique of computerised tomography and suitable processing methods are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,778,614 and 3,924,129.
In United States Patent Application Ser. No. 832,605 there is described a detector which avoids the two-stage conversion of energy described above and converts the X-radiation directly into electrical signals. It is an object of this invention to provide an alternative form of X-ray detector giving such direct conversion.
According to the invention there is provided a detector, of penetrating radiation, including photoconductive material arranged to receive the radiation, means for applying to the material two electrical signals, means for deriving from the material an output signal which results from interrelation of the two signals, and which comprises a signal component proportional to the intensity of incident radiation and a background component independent of that intensity.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into effect it will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 shows a detector in accordance with the invention,
FIG. 2 shows an improved electrode arrangement for that detector,
FIG. 3 shows the electric field provided in the detector by the electrode arrangement of FIG. 2,
FIG. 4 is used to explain one mode of separating the background signal,
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of an arrangement representing the signals as explained with reference to FIG. 4,
FIG. 6 is a block diagram of an alternative arrangement for separating the background signal and
FIG. 7 shows one form of detector array.
It has been found that, in a photo conductive material either semiconductor or insulator, two signals applied across the material will to some extent be mixed and that the mixed signal can then be measured independently of the applied signals. The mixing occurs in the presence of free charges and the extent of mixing is related to the number of free electrons present in the material.
Normally free electrons are present in the conduction band of insulators and semiconductors, the number of such thermally excited electrons being dependent on the magnitude of the forbidden energy gap. The presence of radiation, such as X-radiation, incident on the material increases the number of free charges and the distribution of electrons and thus increases the amplitude of the mixed signal. Thus the increase in amplitude of the mixed signal is representative of the intensity of the incident radiation and can be measured to provide the desired output signal.
The foregoing is a theory of the phenomenon, on which this invention is based, which is believed to be true. However, different principles may be involved and, in any case, the detector of this invention, which will now be described, works whether the principles of its operation are understood or not.
The arrangement is indicated generally in FIG. 1. A crystal 1 of the material is, in this example, of rectangular shape.
One surface 2 is then disposed to reduce the mixed X-rays 3. The material used may be chosen to receive the incident signal in the absence of incident radiation. To meet that criterion insulators are most suitable. However these do not produce sufficient free electrons per incident photon. The best choice is in practice a compromise between these two factors and suitable materials have been found to be Germanium, Cadmium sulphide, Gallium Arsenide and Mercuric Iodide, although other semiconductors may be used.
Two opposing surfaces of the crystal are provided with electrodes 4 and 5. In this example electrodes 4 and 5 are provided on surfaces perpendicular to face 2. In an alternative arrangement faces 2 and 12 may carry the electrodes. Electrode 4 is normally, but not necessarily, earthed as shown and the two input signals, f0 and f1 are applied to electrode 5 from oscillator circuits 6. The output signal of f0 and f1 mixed is also derived from electrode 5 and applied to circuits 7. The output comprises the dark output, which will be called background, and the mixed output resulting from the incident radiation, which will be called the mixed signal. Circuits 7, whose operation will be discussed in more detail hereinafter, are operative to remove the background component from the mixed signal. The mixed signal is amplified if necessary, in circuits not shown, and integrated for a chosen period in integrator 8.
For radiographic apparatus of the type disclosed in the said Patent specifications the integration is over a period determined by the operation of the apparatus and the circuit 8 is controlled by timing pulses provided by the apparatus. Also for such apparatus the signals are converted to digital form in circuits 9, to log form in circuits 10 and processed in circuits 11, together with signals from other detectors, to provide the desired representation. The operation of these circuits is described in more detail in the said Patent Specifications.
Considering now the separation of the background component from the mixed signals it will be seen that one way of effectively achieving this is to reduce the background to a negligible level. Choice of material has been mentioned hereinbefore but an alternative course is to cool the material since thermal excitation is, of course, greatly reduced at low temperatures.
The background signal may also be effected by the crystalline quality and the chemical purity of the detector material. Ohmic contact electrodes are sufficient for material of very high quality. For others, electrons may be injected into the material by trapping effects. The increase in background signal may be moderated by employing a surface barrier contact; placing a thin layer of insulating material between the photo-conductor and the electrode; or using a p.n. junction device instead of a homogeneous photoconductive material. A p.n. junction would be reverse biased and chosen to have a very wide depletion layer.
The dark signal and the irradiation signal may also be tailored by taking into account the symmetrical nature of the mixing interaction. The type of electrode to be used depends on the detector material and the detector requirements as may be seen from the following two examples.
The first example seeks to make the detector as symmetrical as possible. Two similar contacts, preferably capacitive, are used and minimum dark signal is then obtained. One electrode is carried on face 2 and the other on the opposing face 12. The radiation is absorbed exponentially between these two faces thus reducing the symmetry of the charge distribution in the material and consequently yielding an enhanced irradiation signal.
The second example uses an asymmetric arrangement. One contact is a capacitive contact and the other is an ohmic (or surface barrier) contact. The arrangement gives relatively large dark signals and the enhancement of the irradiation signal, due to reduced symmetry, is not as marked as in the symmetric case discussed hereinbefore. Such a detector can however be used if the dark signal due to thermal effects is negligible, where the dark signal can be considered negligible or insignificant if it is less than 10% of the photon noise, which is governed by well known statistics.
An alternative and improved electrode configuration is shown in FIG. 2. In this example the electrodes on faces 4 and 5 of the crystal are provided in the form of interdigitated fingers 13, 14, 15, 16. These are arranged so that the fingers on opposing faces are in phase and thus the electric fields produced are in a direction parallel to faces 4 and 5, as shown in FIG. 3. The two drive signals are applied to one set of fingers 13, 14 and the mixed signal is taken from the same set. The opposite set of fingers 15, 16 is normally earthed. Optimum inter electrode distance is dependent on the detector material, resistivity and mobility, on the drive voltage available and on the frequency of the drive signals and is chosen taking into account those factors. As with the arrangement of FIG. 1 the radiation may be incident perpendicular to faces 4 and 5 which carry the electrodes as at 3'. In that case greater sensitivity may be obtained. In general it may be incident at any intermediate orientation, as shown at 3". This configuration has the advantage of allowing the use of materials with low X-ray absorption which would otherwise require large intermediate distances for the high symmetry detector described hereinbefore.
The interelectrode distance should preferably be less than 10% of the Debye length being given as ##EQU1## in which Dp is the diffusion constant εrεo are the dielectric constants
ρo is the resistivity and
μp is the mobility.
Typically, for a detector of 1 mm width, the Debye length is 0.05 mm so that the interelectrode distance should be about 0.5 mm.
It should be noted that in FIGS. 2 and 3 the dimensions of the detector in relation to the interelectrode distance are not to scale in order to show more clearly the electrode configuration and electric field distribution.
Where the dark signal is of significant level it may be subtracted from the irradiation signal. For example the X-ray source may be pulsed, as shown in FIG. 4 to give a short pulse in each integration period. The irradiation signal (mixed plus background) and background signal are then provided by the same detector in the same integration period. Since the irradiation signal will be much larger than the background the latter can be subtracted by known analogue or digital means.
For example the two signals may be digitally converted, applied to a digital store and subtracted therein at the end of the integration period. Alternatively the total signal can be put into store and an average of the background subtracted.
A block diagram of such an arrangement is shown in FIG. 5. An X-ray source 17 is pulsed, as shown in FIG. 4, by pulses from a pulse generator 18. The X-rays are incident on detector 1 and the output is applied to integrator 8 and A/D as in FIG. 1, but via a gate 19 opened by the pulses which control source 1 to pass the output only during the source pulse. The output is also applied to integrator 8' and A/D9' via another gate 19'. Gate 19' is opened by pulses from generator 18, in this case pulses which open the gate at a time, such as 20 indicated in FIG. 4, when there is only background signal. The total signal from 9 and the background from 9' are held in a store and subtractor 21 which provides their difference, representing the mixed signal, at 22 for further processing as before.
It should be noted that a suitable X-ray count is required in each integration period so that for a chosen dose the maximum tube power governs the minimum pulse width achievable. However the detector must be allowed to recover before the background can be measured. If the background does not vary with time excessively, it can be averaged over several, say, ten integration periods thus improving the signal to noise ratio.
Alternatively signal retrieval methods, such as lock-in amplification, may be used. In this method the X-ray beam is modulated at a reference frequency, say by use of control grid in the tube gun. The mixed signal is then similarly amplitude modulated although the background is not. A suitable circuit is shown in block diagrammatic form in FIG. 6. A square wave modulator 23 modulates the output of X-ray tube 17 with a sufficiently high frequency that several pulses are present in each integration period. The X-rays are then incident as before on detector 1 which is of a material chosen to have an electron recombination time short enough not to mask the modulation. The signal is RF filtered at 24 and amplified at 25 before being applied to a rectifier 26. The signal is then compared with the output of 23 in phase sensitive detector circuits 27. The output of circuits 27 represents only those signals which are in phase (coherent) with the reference signal, thus eliminating the background.
Normally the background will have no variation with time although some increase with time may be caused by trapping. This effect however has a very long time constant of the order of several minutes.
Other methods of separation, such as pulse coding may be used if desired. Other embodiments of the invention and choices of detector material will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
In particular it is not necessary for the input signals to be at different frequencies as described hereinbefore. If they are of the same frequency an harmonic thereof may be detected as the mixed signal.
The detector described has a spatial resolution limited by its physical size. For detection of radiation over larger areas, as required for computerised tomographic apparatus, an array of detectors, is used and may be as shown in FIG. 7. In that arrangement the array of detectors is accessed as shown from a surface acoustic wave delay line 28. The output is taken at 29 via a multiplier, not shown. As an alternative to the surface acoustic wave delay line, a charge coupled device delay line may be used.

Short Cut. Cutting tubing inside a wall or other tight spot usually requires a midget cutter and nimble fingers, but Ridgid's new 2-in-1 Close Quarters Autofeed tubing cutter takes the fingers out of the equation. Its ratcheting head holds an included (but removable) Model #118 cutter and works with as little as a 10-degree rotation. The tool needs only about 2 inches of clearance from the center of the tubing to an adjacent obstruction and can cut up to 1-inch tubing. A spring-loaded cutting wheel mechanism means the cutter needs to be tightened only once per cut. The complete tool sells for $33. Ridgid, 800/769-7743. www.ridgid.com

CANADA RARE EARTHS' RECEIVES GOELAND RARE EARTH PROJECT DRILL PERMITS06:00 EDT Wednesday, August 03, 2011(via Thenewswire.ca) Vancouver, British Columbia - (August 3rd, 2011) - Canada Rare Earths Inc. ("the Company") (TSX Venture: CJC) is pleased to announce that it has received all requisite drill permits to commence drilling on its 100% owned Goeland Rare Earth Exploration Project, located at Montviel, Quebec. Final road preparations for drill site access are nearly complete and it is anticipated crews and equipment will mobilize later this week with drilling set to commence early next week. The summer diamond drill program has two key objectives: to confirm and expand historic drilling and test the true dimensions and rare earth element potential of the PMVT 5 carbonatite unit. Canada Rare Earth claims at Montviel neighbor those of Geomega Resources' (tsx.v: GMA) whose recent and ongoing rare earth discoveries have also been the focus of drilling on the PMTV 5 carbonatite unit. Canada Rare Earths and Geomega's Montviel holdings currently contain the only two known PMTV 5 carbonatite bodies at Montviel. Worldwide, carbonatite-related deposits are a major host for rare earths elements. The world's most advanced and prolific ?REE' deposits in production or development, Bayan Obo (China), Molycorp's Mountain Pass (USA), Lynas's Mount Weld (Aus), and Rare Earth Element Resource's Bear Lodge project, are all hosted by carbonatites. Mr. Benoit Moreau, Geo and P. Eng., Vice President of Exploration for the company, is a Qualified Person for the purpose of NI 43-101 and has reviewed the geological information disclosed herein. About Canada Rare Earths Inc: Canada Rare Earths is a growth company focused on the exploration and development of rare earth elements at its 100% owned Goeland Rare Earths Project within the Montviel carbonatite complex, Montviel Township Quebec, immediately adjacent to Geomega's (TSX-V: GMA) recent rare earth discovery. The Goeland property located 215 km north of Val-d'Or, is road accessible and consists of 47 claims totaling approximately 2,600 hectares. Since the acquisition of the Goeland Project, the Company, in a short period of time, has successfully established itself in one of the largest Carbonatite complexes in North America. For more information on Canada Rare Earths, please visit www.canadarareearths.com or call 604.685.5851 On Behalf of the Board of Canada Rare Earths Inc. Chad McMillan President and CEO Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release. All of the above is subject to TSX.V and regulatory acceptance. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: Certain disclosure in this release, including statements regarding the Company's plans for and intentions with respect to exploration of the Goeland Project, constitutes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities legislation. In making the forward-looking statements in this release, the Company has applied certain factors and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, including that the Company is able to obtain any required government or other regulatory approvals and any required financing to complete the Company's planned exploration activities, that the Company is able to procure equipment and supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis and that actual results of exploration activities are consistent with management's expectations. However, the forward-looking statements in this release are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors relating to Canada Rare Earth's operation as a mineral exploration company that may cause future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such uncertainties and risks may include, among others, actual results of the Company's exploration activities being different than those expected by management, uncertainties involved in the interpretation of drilling results and geological tests, delays in obtaining required government or other regulatory approvals or financing, inability to procure equipment and supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis, equipment breakdowns and bad weather. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Canada Rare Earths does not intend, and expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Winning one run games really isn't a skill, though. If it was it would be more repeatable from year to year. Perhaps teams with poor offenses and very good bull pens could win some more close games, but certainly not to the Orioles' ridiculous 80% success rate.
Once again, forget the stats and go back to logic. If you're consistently going into the 8th and 9th inning in a tied or one run game, you are exposing yourself to one bad pitch or one bad bounce or one bad call losing the game for you. Eventually those bounces will turn against you, and you'll start to lose.
Does anyone honestly think the Orioles will continue to win 80% of one run games going forward?
