house sign
we are in the midst of re-construction of a small beach house and would like to create a metal( ?material) sign to mount on the house with the name of the house and then credits to our wonderful ( yes wonderful) construction team. Something like:
Our House
General Contractor:
Architect: Engineer: Heating/Plumbing:
etc Dont even know where to look We are on North Shore Massachusetts Any ideas out there?
A local print shop or sign shop should be able to help you.
Some place like Kinkos or a Mom and Pop of that type.
Corrugated vinyl signs are popular now and not extremely expensive.
Ask your contractor if he/she has a sign that advertises "Quality renovation done by So and So" etc. Sometimes those folks have their own pre-made signs for their job sites. I know that they do here.
Glad you got a good team to work on your place.
WOW, I'm really glad to hear that there are some GOOD GC and sub-contractors out there these days, and that a customer is extreamly happy with their work ethics!
If you relly feel that strong about these folks, take a few minutes and write the a hand written note to each one of them. They will REALLY appreciate it!

Can I grow annuals successfully?
trace00969October 4, 2007
I have some options for lighting in my house. I have a 1000W MH, as well as a 400W MH, can I grow annuals successfully under these lights? The reason I ask is that I collected some seeds that I would like to start right now. If I can successfully grow them inside, I would like to try. How close to full sunlight do these lights give me? Thanks everyone.
ps....I will probably add a 400W HPS for flowering if need be.

For most Americans, the juice box is a relatively recent innovation. Juice boxes were introduced into the U.S. market in 1980, and quickly gained popularity among parents for their convenience and durability, and for the fact that the contents do not need to be refrigerated, making them ideal for lunch boxes and camping trips. For Europeans, however, the concept has been around much longer, as any American who traveled through Europe during the 1960s or 1970s can attest. Long before the idea of storing milk and other perishable liquids in an unrefrigerated setting, for example, in a pantry instead of in an icebox or refrigerator, gained traction in the United States, Europeans had already been packaging milk in boxes composed of paper, plastic and aluminum, which enabled storage in unrefrigerated areas, while also extending the shelf-life of the contents for longer periods of time. By constructing beverage boxes from paper, polyethylene and aluminum foil, and by shaping them in a rectangular form, they proved both sturdy and stackable, thereby making them more efficient for storage purposes as well as being easy for children to grip. And, the manufacturing process that produces the boxes used for consumable liquids like milk and juice can be made sterile, thereby minimizing the likelihood of bacterial growth, assuming the integrity of the package is assured, as any air that gets in will facilitate the growth of bacteria.
Ruben Rausing, a Swedish businessman, is credited with inventing the manufacturing process for beverage boxes during the 1950s and early 1960s. It took years for Rausing – whose real name was Andersson – to develop the means of storing beverages in an antiseptic environment that would prove easier to store and more user-friendly than traditional glass jars. By 1963, however, he had mastered the concept with the introduction of the Tetra Brick, the box that would be used for storing beverages. Rausing's Swedish roots enabled European markets to exploit his invention sooner than in the United States, where cultural inhibitions against unrefrigerated milk had to be overcome. His invention revolutionized the food packaging industry, for better or worse. As juice boxes gained in popularity across the United States, the environmental implications of these plastic and aluminum containers became increasingly apparent.
Juice boxes are a modern day convenience first developed in the 1960s. The basic anatomy of a juice box is quite simple:
A juice box is made of liquid packaging board which is usually six layers of paper,polyethylene, and aluminum foil. Paper is used to shape the product and give the box an extra source of strength (Wikipedia, Juicebox)
These extra layers preserve the contents and enable consumers to enjoy the product well after its packaging date. However, the extra layers make it incredibly difficult to recycle the juice boxes.
There are special "hydro-pulping" machines that can mash the boxes up into paper pulp, separate out the plastic and aluminum, and turn it all into lower-quality products, like toilet paper or plastic pellets. However, not many American cities have hydro-pulping machines, so in most places, you can't recycle a juice box even if you want to. (PBS Kids)
The aseptic container was invented in the 1960s by a Swedish man named Ruben Rausing. In 1963, Rausing was trying to figure out a more efficient method to get milk to the market. He needed a container that was smaller and less cumbersome than the metal canisters being used. Rausing developed a precursor to the juice box: a brick-shaped box he named the Tetra Brik. Because of their rectangular shape, Tetra Briks, when stacked on top of each other, took up half the space of the old containers. Five years later, Rausing made an even bigger breakthrough when he figured out how to fill the Tetra Briks under completely sterile, or aseptic, conditions.
Once the juice box was introduced to the United States in 1980, competitors began entering the market at a rapid rate. These companies began implementing all sorts of ideas to gain larger shares of the market, including filling the juice boxes with a variety of different flavors, adding vitamins and other nutrients, and making packaging changes to widen the juice box's appeal. By 1986, juice boxes made up approximately 20% of the United States juice market.
When juice boxes first entered the market, they were often filled with diluted juice drinks rather than real fruit juice. However, realizing that Americans were becoming more health conscious, the juice box industry responded by filling the boxes with healthier beverages. A number of companies added vitamins, such as A and C. In the early 1990s, Minute Maid became the first company to add calcium to its juice boxes. Other companies soon followed.
Despite their growing popularity, not everyone had positive things to say about juice boxes. Environmental groups were worried about the effect that juice boxes and other aseptic containers could have on the environment. Specifically, these groups were afraid that aseptic containers would fill the nation's landfills because they are not as easy to recycle as other types of packages. The state of Maine even went so far as to ban the sale aseptic containers. This ban was later repealed, but other states have considered adopting similar legislation.
In response to this opposition, the Aseptic Packaging Council (APC), a trade association that represents the major United States manufacturers of aseptic packages, was formed in 1989. Their primary mission was to inform the American public about the product benefits and environmental attributes of aseptic packaging. Since its inception, the APC as been working closely with communities nationwide to encourage the inclusion of juice boxes in recycling programs. These efforts have already proven successful in some communities. In addition to recycling efforts, juice box manufacturers argue that aseptic containers are actually friendlier to the environment than other types of containers. For one, they take up less room on trucks when being transported from factory to store, thus conserving energy by requiring fewer trips and using less fuel. The aseptic filling process itself also requires less energy than traditional canning and bottling methods. The manufacturers also point out that packaging makes up only 4% of the weight of a filled aseptic container in contrast to filled glass bottles, which are typically 30-40% packaging. This leaves less packaging to dispose of when dealing with an aseptic container.
In the late 1990s, attitudes about the environmental friendliness of the aseptic package began to change. In 1996, the aseptic carton won the Presidential Award for Sustainable Development, and the aseptic packaging industry was recognized for demonstrating environmental responsibility throughout the product life cycle. In 2001, this increased acceptance by environmental activists, combined with the industry's efforts toward incorporating new and innovative marketing ideas, continues to make the juice box the driving force behind the juice industry.

A multi-grit manual finishing tool and method for making the tool. In a preferred embodiment, the tool comprises an ordered, linear sequence of pieces of coated abrasive connected by fully pliable hinges. The hinges allow virtually 360° rotation of the planes of adjacent pieces about each other, and permit the tool to accordion-fold together tightly, so that the tool becomes very compact for storage, transit and special uses. The grit sizes progressively increase from one abrasive piece to the next, thereby facilitating a choice of grit sizes within a single tool. On the non-grit surface of each piece is a distinctive labeling addition that includes indicia characterizing the grit size and abrasive nature of its corresponding grit surface. The distinctive labeling addition includes mechanical reinforcement, such as plastic, thin metal or cardboard. Each piece may abrade a work piece individually and without necessarily using any tool other than hand or fingers. By trial application to a work piece, the tool user can selectively determine from the indicia the most suitable grit sizes for finishing the piece. Methods of construction, use, and modification of such a tool are described.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to tools for manual finishing of surfaces using coated abrasives, particularly those that combine a variety of kinds of abrasive coatings and grit sizes within a single tool.
Primitive abrasion processes used stones and loose sand for shaping and smoothing. Modern processes for finishing surfaces still employ tools with abrading materials of different fineness or abrasive nature. These tools include grinding wheels, whetstones, machinists' files, and wood rasps. Flexible versions of this class are lens-shaping grit holders, emery boards, and sheets or belts of coated abrasives.
A coated abrasive is a combination of mineral grits and a bonding material coated upon one surface of a substrate, sometimes called a backing. Usually the opposite surface of the substrate is not so coated. Manual coated abrasive finishing operations are those that do not use power tools and involve simply rubbing an abrading grit surface upon work areas that may range in size from a single edge to several square meters. Such manual operations include brief tasks, such as clearing splinters from a freshly sawed piece of wood, removing sharp edges from cut metal, and shaping fingernails, as well more elaborate tasks, such as smoothing a patched or damaged automobile paint surface and preparing furniture for application of stain, oil, or varnish.
Typically, a coated abrasive finishing process first uses a relatively coarse grit of a type specific to the work piece, followed by a similar process using at least one finer grit. Each step finer in grit size smooths scratches made by its predecessor step. Using many small steps in grit size reduces the amount of working needed with each one. There are about twenty commercially available grit sizes, covering the whole range of shaping, smoothing, and polishing. The grit size designations correspond to those used in the manufacture of grinding wheels. The American National Standards Institute maintains, under the general category B-74, definitions of standard numerical grit sizes. In other countries analogous standards have also evolved. Coated abrasive sheet descriptors may also designate methods or materials of manufacture.
Commercially packaged coated abrasives have commonly displayed the descriptive terms "coarse," "medium," and "fine." The meanings of these particular words have differed, however, for different minerals and fields of application. For example, some aluminum oxide based coatings designed for wood working have had a grit size of 120 and carry the descriptor "fine." Silicon carbide based coatings of the finer grit size 320 used for automobile finishing have been labeled "coarse." Therefore, there is a need for labels on coated abrasives that will disclose not only the grit size but the abrasive mineral content as well. Moreover, it can be a significant convenience to the user to combine several grit sizes and/or several kinds of mineral abrasive into a single manual abrasive tool; this is especially helpful for experimenting on a small portion of a work piece with various grit sizes and kinds of coated abrasives to determine the optimal combination to use.
U.S. Pat. No. 27,817, issued in 1860 to T. J. Mayall, described an abrasive sheet first formed by combining a "vulcanizable" rubber compound and grit, and adhering the combination to a backing, followed by vulcanizing the backing. This was alleged to provide an improvement over emery-cloth, emery-paper, and sand-paper.
U.S. Pat. No. 81,986, issued in 1868 to J. H. Crane, disclosed two coated abrasive sheets of different grit sizes adhered together, forming a single flexible article coated on both surfaces.
U.S. Pat. No. 357,412, issued in 1891, to E. A. Dubéy, disclosed a single sheet of "sand-paper or the like," with several different grades of abrading substance directly coated upon its substrate or backing surface in distinct sections. The coated sections were separated by narrow creases that were not coated with abrasive. Depicted in the Dubéy patent is a sheet with six such sections of identical rectangular size, folded once. This was then Z-folded to form a packet, providing a choice of different grits as the abrading face. These multiple thick folds in the packet created a versatile, unlabeled tool, but using the sheet, without folding it, was inherently clumsy. Even now, it would probably not be economic to coat uniformly the different areas as depicted in Dubéy's patent upon the same substrate or backing. Creation of uniform, high quality abrasive coatings on a mass scale usually entails a continuous-coating manufacturing process, with a controlled coating composition. Dubéy's sheet had no identification for individual grades or sizes of grit or any other identification marking. The composition and configuration of different grit sizes could not be altered by the end user. Neither the packet thickness nor the sheet size in Dubéy's sheet allowed conveniently applying force directly upon a work piece surface through only a single layer of coated abrasive. This eliminated an occasional advantage in shaping the workpiece provided in the flexible, single sheet abrasive tools disclosed by Mayall and Crane.
A three dimensional, multi-grit, coated abrasive article for manual finishing was described in U.S. Pat. No. 1,146,359 issued to W. D. Smith in 1915. It was shown as a trifoliate structure of three (or more) rectangular leaves connected along a single axis where they were joined. Each leaf had coated abrasive on both surfaces, so that all exposed surfaces were coated abrasive. The leaves folded together, and they could also be applied individually to a workpiece. Exposing the workpiece to two leaves at once was noted as an advantage, and adjacent leaf surfaces could be formed by a single folded sheet. Grit size variety was not explicitly mentioned, and there was no consideration given to grit size identification. Construction details mentioned the reinforcing effect of forming a leaf by cementing two pieces of ordinary coated abrasive paper together.
An improvement in removable abrasive and polishing sheets and pads for use with power tools was described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,437,269, issued to G. Shaw in 1984. The removable feature was achieved by adhering a textile layer with filament loops to the non-grit surface of a mass-manufactured abrasive sheet or disk. These loops were releaseably engaged by suitable hooks or stalks mounted on the tool face. A transparent adhesive was used, and the textile layer itself was selected to be sufficiently transparent to allow reading indicia already imprinted on the non-grit surface of these sheets by the coated abrasive manufacturer.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,140,785, issued to B. Eleouet, disclosed a scouring pad combination comprising several different pads of comparable but different thicknesses and attached to a flexible connecting sheet that formed hinges between the pads. In use, a packet of cleaning pads was folded into a conveniently held block through which force was applied. No provision was made for identification markings inasmuch as abrading composite or polishing material was attached to opposite surfaces of the connecting sheet.
Users of coated abrasives for manual finishing may not be experts in the many kinds of abrasives available, but they are resourceful people. Whether occasional or frequent users, they need grit variety, identification information, adaptability, predictable quality, and convenience in use and storage.
There remains a need, therefore, for an abrasive tool for manually finishing small surface areas that displays by indicia at least the grit size and abrasive mineral content. Such a tool preferably comprises reinforced, coated abrasive pieces with several grit sizes, arranged in an ordered sequence to facilitate experimentally determining the most effective grit choices for finishing a particular work piece. The tool should be easily modified, customized, shaped, or repaired, even by occasional users, and should be compact and portable. A simple and inexpensive method for making such a tool is also desirable. These needs are fulfilled by the present invention.
A multi-grit tool for manual finishing comprises coated abrasive pieces connected by fully pliable hinges that allow each piece to be applied to a work surface individually. A distinctive labeling addition to the non-grit surface of each abrasive piece includes indicia that characterize the abrasive nature of its grit surface, including at least the grit sizes and the type of mineral abrasive. The labelling addition may serve other functions as well, such as suggesting uses for the tool and displaying advertising copy. In one embodiment, the abrasive pieces are arranged in linear array, and in order of increasing grit size; in this embodiment, the tool accordion-folds into a compact packet. In an alternative embodiment, two or more pairs of hingedly-connected abrasive coated pieces are joined along a common hinge line to form a booklet. A preferred method for forming the hinges includes the step of attaching a continuous strip of transparent adhesive tape to the non-grit surfaces (directly over the distinctive labeling additions thereon) of a plurality of linearly aligned, abrasive coated pieces, such that the portions of the tape between the pieces form the hinges.

Optionally, the indicia 42 may display the name of the tool manufacturer and other relevant information. The indicia 42 may comprise printed or embossed letters, numbers, symbols or lines.
The indicia 42 are carried by a distinctive labeling addition 40, that overlays the entire non-grit surface 30 of the coated abrasive piece 10. In its simplest embodiment, addition 40 can consist only of minimal indicia 42 printed directly upon the non-grit surface 30. The distinctive labeling addition 40 can also include a suitable surface for labeling and an appropriate appearance and versatility for consumer use. Straight line templates included in indicia 42 could also border each piece 10 so that identical surface areas can be produced with different grit sizes. In a preferred embodiment, addition 40 also incorporates both stiffening means 43, depicted in cutway view 41 in FIG. 1, for mechanical reinforcement, and a protective coating (not shown). The stiffening means 43 is preferably plastic, thin metal or cardboard.
In FIG. 1, the tool appears as only partially collapsed along accordion-folded hinges 20, but the tool may fold tightly into a conveniently compact, thin packet for storage, transit or special uses. In use, a user extends the strip and, holding other pieces aside, applies finger or hand pressure on any one of the non-grit surfaces 30 of a piece of abrasive 10, thereby pressing and rubbing the grit surface 50 of that piece 10 against an unfinished article surface (not shown). Alternatively, the user may accordion-fold several pieces together in a packet to expose a more rigid abrasive surface. By trial, the user may determine the appropriate grit size to begin finishing a surface. Indicia 42 allow the user to determine and record that grit size for future use. Subsequent finishing with finer grit sizes can similarly help determine from indicia 42 just how many and which abrasive grit sizes will provide an acceptable finish upon a particular article. In some instances, the tool of FIG. 1 will suffice to complete the entire finishing operation. In others, the use of information that this tool provides will aid selection of particular grit sizes for subsequent finishing. A different tool of the form of FIG. 1, but having different dimensions and grit size selections from those originally used, may then be constructed. Other abrading tools having only those grit sizes found to be appropriate by use of indicia 42 may sometimes be preferable for subsequent finishing.
FIGS. 2A, 2B and 2C show elemental construction details of a three-piece fragment of the tool of FIG.1. FIG. 2A shows in elevation that fully pliable hinges 20 join the non-grit surfaces 30 of nearly contiguous, adjacent coated abrasive pieces 10. A fully pliable hinge is one that will enable virtually 360° of rotation of the plane of one abrasive piece 10 a hinge line 22 shared with about the plane of an adjacent abrasive piece 10 to which it is hinged. Given the resilience of the materials and the small gap between pieces, hinge line 22 (within hinge 20 and perpendicular to the paper in this view) is only approximate but functional. Also shown is the distinctive labeling addition 40.
FIG. 2B is a plan view, denoted as "obverse," of this construction, depicting the aligned, non-grit surfaces 30 thereof. The clear white background suggests that indicia 42 have been printed on some distinctive label also included in addition 40. The hinge lines 22 are also shown. The indicia 42 in FIG. 2 portray the conventional words "Coarse," "Medium," and "Fine." These words are a convenient shorthand for a few frequently used abrasives; but they are inadequate for describing precisely the grit sizes and other important abrasive features of the grit sides 50 of the pieces 10. FIG. 2C shows the "reverse" plan view, depicting the grit surfaces 50 of the abrasive pieces 10. If the coated abrasive pieces 10 exemplified by FIG. 2 incorporated the mineral aluminum oxide (Al2O3), "Fine" could be referring to either 120 or 150 grit size, and "Medium" could mean 60, 80, or 100 grit size. Al2O3 is helpful in smoothing saw cuts, rounding shelf edges and other wood finishing, and for smoothing wallboard joints.
The tool depicted in FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C, resembles that of FIG. 2, but overcomes the above-described deficiency by including indicia showing the grit sizes; it also incorporates two additional features, viz.: the addition of a piece of non-abrasive material 60 into the hinged sequence, and use of a layer of transparent adhesive tape 70 as both a covering over the addition 40 and as hinge material. FIG. 3A shows in an obverse plan view three pieces 10 of coated abrasive and a non-abrasive piece 60, all aligned in linear array with respect to hinge lines 22. Illustrative detailed information is imprinted on the exposed surface of non-abrasive piece 60, including, for example, the name of the maker and advertising. FIG.3B shows in a reverse view the abrasive surfaces 50 of these same pieces, with additional illustrative information on piece 60, for example, item number, mineral abrasive, and suggested uses. The additional non-abrasive piece 60 need not be identical in shape to the other pieces. For example, it could also serve as a foldover cover if made of double width.
FIG.3C shows transparent adhesive tape 70 that completely covers the aligned pieces 10 and 60 of FIG. 3A to form a multi-grit tool, as shown in elevation view in FIG. 3D. Tape 70 overlays the distinctive labeling addition 40 attached to non-abrasive surface 30 and permits clear viewing of the indicia 42 through the tape 70. Here hinge 20 is formed by portions of tape 70 around each hinge line 22.
A preferred method of making multi-grid tools according to the invention is depicted in FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 shows a printed piece of adhesive-coated label stock containing eight columns of small distinctive labeling additions 40 affixed to the non-grit surface of a large sheet of commercial coated abrasive 10. This matrix 44 of small areas may next be cut into linear matrix strips 44 a as one step in making the tool of FIG. 1.
FIGS. 5A-5D show further steps in constructing five tools in one procedure. FIG. 5A shows six linear arrays of coated abrasive, called collectively 46. Each array was individually formed by first imprinting on label stock the five identical patterns for each of the grit sizes shown. These six label additions were then affixed to the non-grit surfaces 30 of six sheets of coated abrasive 10 of the designated grit size, then cut apart into the six linear arrays shown as 44 a, 44 b, 44 c, 44 d, 44 e, and 44 f, arranged as shown.
FIG. 5B shows a single length of transparent adhesive tape 70 of the same width as the top row 46 a of coated abrasive pieces 10. The tape is then laid over this top row, binding them together. Cutting along the edge of the tape 70 separates a multi-grit abrasive tool, with the tape 70 serving as fully pliable hinges 22. Alternatively, one or more transparent strips 70 totaling five times the width of one row would create five such connected tools to be cut apart. Such strips may overlap. One of these tools is shown in obverse plan view in FIG. 5C and in an elevation view in FIG. 5D. The layering in FIG. 5D from top to bottom is in the following order: transparent adhesive tape 70, attached to and overlying the top surface of label additions 44 or 46 a (which are included in distinctive label additions 40), attached to and overlying an upper surface 30 of each abrasive piece 10, attached to and overlying the grit surface 50 on the bottom. Conceivably, six continuous coating production lines could replace this process.
FIGS. 6A-6C are perspective views of alternative embodiments of the multi-grid tool. FIG. 6A shows two, partially folded pairs of coated abrasive pieces 10, which are joined by fully pliable hinges along a hinge line 22. In FIG. 6A the abrasive surfaces 50 shown are of different grit size and form a first pair 90 a. FIG. 6B is a similar view of the nonabrasive surfaces 30 of another pair of coated abrasive pieces 10 joined by two fully pliable hinges 20 to form a second pair 90 b. FIG. 6C is a view of a composite tool formed by placing pair 90 a upon the other pair 90 b with their abrasive sides facing together. The two pairs 90 a, 90 b, of fully pliable hinged coated abrasive pieces 10 are then joined by staples or stitching 80 along their common hinge line 22. The coated abrasive used here, emery cloth, required a sizing coat for good adhesion as part of the distinctive labeling addition 40 that also includes indicia 42.
FIG. 7 is a variant of the obverse plan view of FIG. 2A, in which the abrasive pieces 10 are originally cut as identical rectangles whose long side is greater than the long side of hinges 20. Shaping is accomplished with shears by cutting away areas of material 11 to form a thin rectangular shaping tip 12 on part of the coated abrasive area of piece 10. Cutting away of other abrasive material 11 leaves an acute shaping angle 14 or a concave shaping arc 16. For acute angles and narrow pieces, additional reinforcement of labeling addition 40 with stiffening means 43 may be necessary. Similar shaping of the abrasive pieces 10 in the booklet construction 90 of FIG. 6 is also possible. Such a shaped construction is more versatile for this purpose because the areas of the abrasive pieces are connected at only one hinge line 22.
The tool of this invention may be constructed entirely of commercially available materials. Relatively inexpensive coated abrasives, transparent adhesive tapes, label stock, other adhesives and sheet materials are widely available. Satisfactory hinging and assembly results are easily obtained even at supermarkets with a variety of adhesive tapes of cellophane, other plastic, fabric or strong paper. Suitable minerals for abrasive coatings include emery, garnet, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and diamond. These materials have traditionally addressed specific uses, often selected on the basis of cost. Since manual finishing may not require large areas of abrasive coating, performance rather than cost may be a preferred criterion.
Coated abrasives are highly sophisticated, so that their abrasive nature will depend on factors besides grit size. Silicon carbide, for example, is advantageous with soft fibrous materials as well as with tough metals. When manufactured in a form intended to be used under water, this mineral allows fingernails to be smoothed under lotion as well. The backing for the tool may be cloth or paper.
Area of Abrasive Pieces
In selecting or designing variants of this tool, the area of each individual abrasive piece is first dictated approximately by the nature of the article to be finished. Customizing the areas of abrasive pieces can allow efficient use of commercially available sizes of coated abrasive sizes. The table below shows a suggested variety of tool sizes, useful over a range of different applications.
Postage stamp size areas of abrasive pieces, providing many grit sizes in a small volume, work with single-finger pressure. This is usually a large enough surface area to test abrasiveness in selecting the right grit size for a particular finishing task. The same tool may be used successively on quite different workpieces. This size allows quick, inexpensive trial before beginning a finishing job. Even smaller sizes may be used with very expensive materials such as diamond grits. Smaller sizes may also be simulated by shaping as shown in FIG. 7. A pencil eraser may be more convenient to apply pressure, or a workpiece edge may be rubbed or honed against the tool held on a table top.
Many applications need no more than the stamp size area tool for completion. For fingernail edge shaping and smoothing, a few grades found to be effective in a particular instance may be selected from the many grades available on a tool. Similar benefits of small area finishing arise in smoothing the bottoms of ceramic articles, healing flaws in automobile paint repairs, or reworking damaged spots on furniture.
For larger areas or multi-finger application of pressure, the matchbook or business card size may be more helpful. These are also useful sizes for advertising. The multi-grid tool as described herein can exemplify in use an entire coated abrasive product line, inexpensively, within a single tool—which suggests its use for marketing abrasives. A complete array of grit grades is a valuable sales aid, whether as demonstration kit, promotional gift, or trial purchase. Larger sizes lend themselves to displaying more detailed information or advertising. For tools having sponge size area, all fingers or the palm may be used. These sizes may also benefit from some ancillary pressing aid, such as a block of wood.
Thus, while the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it is accordingly intended that the disclosure be taken as illustrative only, and that the scope of the invention be defined by the following claims.

To determine the efficacy of antiseptic compared with standard triple lumen central venous catheters (CVCs) in reducing the incidence of catheter sepsis and catheter site infection in patients with CVCs for total parenteral nutrition.
A prospective, randomized, controlled trial.
Truman Medical Center, the public teaching hospital for University of Missouri, Kansas City, School of Medicine.
Seventy-two inpatients on the Metabolic Support Service received a CVC for the infusion of total parenteral nutrition. Diagnoses included pancreatic disease, cancer, bowel obstruction, and intestinal surgery, among others. Patients who had a higher risk for contamination during insertion, such as those with a catheter placed through an introducer, inserted in the emergency department, or changed over a guidewire were excluded from the study.
The control group received a standard CVC without antiseptics. The treatment group received a CVC with a coating of silver sulfadiazine and chlorhexidine gluconate. Each CVC was inspected for infection or malfunction by the Metabolic Support Service 5 times per week. A transparent occlusive dressing was changed every 7 days or more often if there were signs of infection or nonocclusion. When the CVC was removed, the catheter tip, the blood, and the insertion site were cultured.
Main Outcome Measures:
Although 88 catheters were inserted, only 72 catheters were evaluable. There were 40 patients in the standard group and 32 in the antiseptic group. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups for diagnosis, sex, age, length of stay, days with a CVC, or catheter location. The catheter sepsis rate in the standard group was 8% and in the antiseptic group it was 6%. There were no statistically significant differences between the 2 groups in frequency of site infections or catheter sepsis.
In this study, there were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of catheter-related sepsis or catheter site infections between the standard and antiseptic groups. Future prospective, randomized controlled trials with a larger number of antiseptic catheters are encouraged to confirm or refute these results.Arch Surg. 1996;131:986-989

This is an absolutely beautiful resort. As Marriott's go, you get all that you expect but in Costa Rica the service and staff are always a cut above. For me everything was perfect. For those of you who are not familiar with Marriott's or this property here is what I might find detracting. One is that even though the hotel is beachfront, it is not a swimmable or lounge-able beach. It's right up against the marina, the sand is a dark brown color and the water is a grayish color. The overall scenery is still very beautiful. The other is that I still can't see myself paying $24 per person for breakfast. I'm a Gold member so I don't pay it anyway but it's just the idea. You all probably know that the meals at the restaurants here are even more overpriced. So the point is this. Skip the Hotel fare and go just outside the main gate to Herradura beach for your meals. You can actually walk there. I'd say it's about a 20 min walk. You can dine on extraordinary, well portioned local and international dishes, mingle with both expats and locals, watch the sunset and spend a quarter of what you would have spent at the hotel. Now, for all those other things there is a American style shopping center with a very nice supermarket at the main intersection. They sell everything that you can get in the states. Get your wine there. $7 for a really good bottle of Chilean Chardonnay. At the hotel its $14 a glass. Hey, I vacation two to three times a year. I'm way beyond the "I need to be pampered" mode and I just don't like giving my money away unnecessarily.

Along with Beyoncé, Jennifer Hudson was also in attendance at First Lady Michelle Obama's 50th Birthday Party. Before getting dolled up, she was snapped at the airport in a Miu Miu Fall 2013 Orange and Black Belted Coat:
The orange and black coat features a front zip closure, off the shoulder design, and a waist-cinching orange belt.
I'm a fan of Jennifer Hudson. The coat? Not so much. I must say that I do prefer the off the shoulder look seen on the runway; though the clever styling there didn't win me over entirely either.
What do you think? Hot! or Hmm…
Images: FameFlynet
Orange and black?It's Haute Halloween Couture! Lipstick ain't helping either. Love Jen though.
Oh no JHud. You're better than this.
She has lost too much weight in the face. Look at the mouth area. Fashion wise, this is typical j.hud im afraid; lack of style :-/
What ever happened to Andre Leon Talley taking her under his wing? His oversized cape-poncho outfits would be better than what she wears.
Hmmm, J. Hud those MCHammer glasses aren't cute! Sorry! The jacket is yawn!
She's getting off a plane. Not always necessary to be 1000%. You wanna be comfortable even in 1st class. Considering that, she looks fine. I look like a mole when I de-plane.
I actually like the coat and I think it can be styled well. It just doesn't work here.
I guess I'm in the minority because I think she looks cute. I really like this hairstyle on her as well.
Hot! Not really feeling the brown gloves she should've went with black. Still in love with her short cut so glad she let her bundles take a vacation.
So much no
So she holds the record for how many times can a celeb look a hot mess.
She is the epitome of "MONEY CAN'T BUY STYLE"
I love this woman. And I give her credits for her guts, the short hair, the glasses and the coat. But love her so much more with long hair… And I like her sophisticated Pocahontas look better then this hipster look, to be honest…
No. Who decided that belt went with this coat?
She is always a hot mess. Nothing here to see. NEXT!
What happened to the jennifer that i knw .. this is so not on…everything in this pic doesnt add up at all…
Why does she ALWAYS look messy? Nothing she wears ever looks good, ever.
Let's hold hands… and PRAY FOR MISS HUDSON.
I love J Hud. She looks great in her clothes, but she is wearing the wrong clothes. She is "country" (that's what us Southern girls use to refer to someone who lacks style). I wish she would hire a stylist. She needs to dress simply like Jessica Alba.

Let The Season Begin !
It is just starting in my garden. But It won't be long.
I have already picked few ripe ones and more coming. Here is a SiletZ, my star perforemer so far :
This is STUPICE.
The fruits are green so they are not seen well. But it is loaded
Show here two plants: On the right is CP and on the left is a LEGENG.
And this is KUMATO. It hace close to 30 fruits so far
I will post pictures when they are showing color.
Nice healthy plants! Mine are late this year, only have a few cherry tomatoes and some Big Beef forming...the rest are blooming.
I wonder if your kumato is an off-type? I bought some from the grocery store and saved seed to try next year...yours looks like a grape tomato or small plum type...not the regular round shape of kumato. It will be interesting to see the colour when ripe.
Thanks Donna.
Kumato is developed for the big greenhouse growers. And I believe it grows in big clusters, like many greenhouse varieties, Of course it looks like grape tomatoes at this stage but I like to believe that they will get much bigger. The store sold ones are maybe about 3 to 4 oz. So kumato is not a big tomato.
OTOH, I am not sure how it will turn out to be. I should be able to find out in about a month or so.
Apicture from the net.
Can you go around your area and see what other gardeners are experiencing in regards to when they are picking their first tomatoes.
I ask, because I know that you planted your plants out in the garden way earlier than most. Comparing your results with your "neighbors" is the only way to tell if what you did is resulting in an earlier crop.
Thanks for sharing. Your plants, tomatoes and pictures look very good, especially those cherry tomatoes.
We here at Angel Field Heirloom Tomatoes pray that everyone support your local farmers, especially those who grow Historical Fruit & Vegetable like we do. Heirloom Fruit & Vegetables have thin skin, but more nutritional value than hybridize produce. Its hard work growing historical tomatoes & vegetables: but we love it., Amen!!!!!!
Farmer Joyce Beggs
We planted 2 types of tomatoes in April and only the cherry are turning red on the vine. The other (believe its a regular table type of tomato) is not producing as well and the fruit is not turning red on the vine. Is it our unusually wet, cool summer or is more "TLC" needed?
Hello Glo407
If your plants are healthy like the pictures above, your tomatoes are just getting bigger and will start turning rip very soon. Once you see coloration on the bottom of your tomatoes you can pull them and display them on your table for a wonderful center piece and conversation.
Thanks silvia . Planting the the second round yet ?
This has been an exceptionally warm July up until 2 days ago. We had temps in high 80s and low 90s for 2 weeks. Normally 85F is the high limit here in PNW.
About Early Planting:
Any day of early planting here in PNW counts, because the weather stays lingering cool ( Low 53 to High 73F) til almost July. In some place , even in lower zones 6, 5, 4 , summer kicks off real warm starting late May. So in those climates starting too early will make no significant difference in terms of getting the first ripe tomato. But not here.
My plant are set to produce. Most of them have lots of fruits. My Early choices have been slowly giving ripe tomatoes since July 8 and more are ready to join in, like Stupice, Legend, Early Treat, Silvery Fir Tree.
Have a Good Season, Ye'all !
And lets see whats happening in your garden.
Thanks linda,
I started with well prepared and amended beds, supplemented with a little slow release fertilizer, wit calcium and magnesium.
I also fertilize with liquid ones ( @ 1/3 to 1/2 strength ) every other week or so. I try to read my plants in terms of how much nitrogen they are getting. Since I am using 3 - 1 - 2 ratio fertilizers, the P and K should be in control too.
About Kumato : They sure look like grape so far. But they are growing fast. They might turn out plum shape. That is ok with me, as long as they taste good.
In all my years of tomato growing, I have never had tomatoes change shape...i.e. start out oval and mature to round...they always pretty much stay the same shape only they grow bigger. I do have a kumato that I am starting from seed this year but I doubt there is enough time to produce any fruit...I know of one other person who has grown it and she said it comes true for her.
Seysonn, those same looking Kumato tomatoes were for sale at the local store and I bought them but I think that they did not sell well because I have not seen them for sale again.
Someone gave me seeds that said Kumato but they were huge green and black sort of, very good! I have not grow them again because I don't think that I will get the same results. And yes! it is time for me to start my tomato seeds to be planted in the fall.
You spent weeks back in the early Spring touting how advantageous your planting method was, because you had a 5 or 6 week head start on the traditional plant out date. You went on and on about it, so I am genuinely asking if you can now document that you are getting fruit significantly earlier than your neighbors who planted out at about the traditional time. For someone as enthusiastic about tomato growing, you can't tell me that you have not compared your production and timing to others in your area.
It sure would be nice to have some sort of conclusion as to whether or not your strategy produced a very early tomato crop.
Your plants do look fairly disease free.
You spent weeks back in the early Spring touting how advantageous your planting method was, because you had a 5 or 6 week head start on the traditional plant out date.
That is true.
I did a combination of things to extend my season. And I got some results. I picked my first ripe fruit on July 8th. And so far have harvested 6 plus some cherry.
Although I pushed my season, but you have to understand the the nature of PNW climate, Here in Sammamish, WA. Still our night low are 53F to 56F. And highs are in 66F to 77F range. This is July, the hottest month of summer !!!. Now imagine how it was back in April, May and june. If you go and read about tomatoes growing you will be told that tomato will not thrive when lows are under 60F. Which is WRONG but it does not help a lot either.
So as I have said, in certain zones when the summer heat kicks in, those extra early planting days and weeks don't make a big difference BUT here in PNW everyday counts. The things are on a very low gear and turtle speed.
So all in all I am happy with my results. I will do it again next season. There are things about this climate that nobody can do anything about it.
The season started OK (Early July) and got into a nice peak in August. Now it is on the down slide and the weather looks like early - mid July. Not bad. I am harvestin more now than any time before in the season because my LATE varieties are ripening .
Here is how our weather looks like these days.
Haven't had a rain-free day in the last 10. The next 10 forecasted of all rain, except tomorrow (It will rain, though). My night time low tomorrow higher than Daniel's L.I. highs for the next 9 days, and too high to set my tomatoes ;-(
LOL, it' always grows greener on the other side of the fence. My plants' leaves have been wet for 10 days straight from rain and 85%+ humidity practically 24/7. But in one week this place should really be hitting its sweet spot.
The night-time temperatures are far from perfect since the plants are in fruit setting mode, and not late season grow mode. In a week though night temperatures will drop below 75F and if it stops raining weather will be perfect for the plants that survived the great deluge. Next time under shelter!

We had a great time at Michael's place. Very clean, cute and functional, with close access to transportation, and also some cool spots for dining. Communication was great and the stay was a breeze. Would love to stay again. Thanks!
We stayed in this apartment for over 4 weeks. We were visiting our son and family who live nearby. We were very happy with this apartment and will certainly seek to stay there again. All the arrangements went very smoothly, and the apartment was clean, well stocked, and well presented. It was also quiet, which was a bonus. The owner arranged to have a manager meet and greet us, as he does for all the guests. It was comforting to know that there was a manager to whom we could turn should we have any issues. The location was excellent for both a Brooklyn visit and a visit to Manhattan. We made good use of the metro which was only a 5 min walk from the apartment.
Michael was a great host and his apartment was top notch. My Dad recently stayed at his apartment whilst visiting from the UK and everything was exactly as described and brand spanking new. Everything about the stay was great and we'd throughly recommend to others.
This was my first trip to NYC. We stayed at Mi's lovely apartment for a week and we loved it. It's a very nice apartment in a new building. Clean, spacious and comfortable. We feel safe staying here. The location is good. Close to the F/G/R subway. A trip to Manhattan is a30-40 minute ride via train. We never meet Mi but he arranged his friend David to check us in. David and his wife was great!! He was very well informed of the area. He gave us a lot of useful tips. He even help us to book transport to JFK. It was a last minute request. It was really a great experience staying in Mi's apartment. My cousin and I have enjoyed the apartment very much and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay when they visit NYC.
Very nice, clean and modern apartment. This is one of the best air bnb experience we have had. We were late by a couple of hours due to a coach fault and David was very accommodating. The apartment has everything that we need - linen, hairdryer, wifi etc. The area is very safe and easy to get to the metro. It is about 30 min away from central manhattan.
Stayed in this apartment with a friend for a week and we really enjoyed it!
The place is exactly as described and pictured and very spacious, modern, clean and comfortable/cozy.
We were welcomed by David and he was very friendly and informative about the place and neighbourhood and had suggestions to activities.
The neighbourhood is great, quiet but still close to lots of restaurants, supermarkets, bars, delis and not that far from Prospect Park.
It is very close to the subway – 4. Av. (F/G trains)– and from that station you can easily go into Manhattan.
The balcony facing away from the street and with a Manhattan view was also much appreciated.
The washing machine/dryer was great and so was the dishwasher.
We really enjoyed the apartment and would highly recommend it to anyone.
Rigtig fin og lækker lejlighed med veludstyret køkken. Lejligheden ligger på en stille sidegade kun få gader fra metroen. Området er rigtig hyggeligt med flere supermarkeder og restauranter i gåafstand. David, som varetager lejligheden, er hurtig til at svare på spørgsmål og hans kone ventede på, at vi ankom selvom vores fly var forsinket. Kan varmt anbefale denne lejlighed.

Evensong composed by William Harbinson. Concert Band. Concert Band. Alfred Concert Band. Grade 3. Conductor Score & Parts. 132 pages. Published by Alfred Music (AP.29482).
Evensong is a beautiful ballad in standard song (ABA) form with a brief coda. The lyric nature of the composition offers opportunities to develop the ensemble's expressive playing with concentration on tone, intonation, balance, and phrasing. The contrasting B section features the woodwind voices and moves through several non-traditional key areas (B, D, C major) before returning to the tonic key (E-flat major) for a varied restatement of the A section. The coda provides a quiet and peaceful conclusion. (3:45)
