Hey buddy, try disconnecting from the main power then take the battery out for a minute or so then reinsert the battery and try booting again. I've seen this happen on many laptops and it could be a number of reasons. Overheating being the frequent one!. Make sure your laptop is not overheating. Good luck

Omni Masointe Siding and 'Fungal Growth' Problems
Bank has accepted our short sale offer on a 20 year old home contingent on the home inspection. We've been told that any and all repairs are "on us"---not the bank and certainly not the distressed sellers. Had the home inspection on Monday and it revealed a couple of problems. Home has "multiple areas of minor to moderate separations, swelling and damage to the exterior siding." Product used was Omni Masonite, which was the subject of a class action suit that was settled and closed to further claims in 2009. Realtor says "most people just replace sections as needed" and "don't let the siding contractors tell you the whole house needs siding replaced". Well, guess what---that's what we're being told---that the Omni is a nightmare that will only get worse. We would like to go back to the bank and ask to lower our original offer by $20,000 so we can afford to replace the siding. Not sure this will fly. What's your opinion? Replace it all, piecemeal it, or?
Second issue is there is a white "fungal growth in multiple areas of the attic sheathing." Two different "mold men" have come out and told us it's not serious or toxic and can be treated for $700-1700. Is this another nightmare waiting to happen?
Are we crazy to even be considering this house? We love it and the 5 acres it's on but are we buying a money pit?
Thanks in advance for your input.
oh---and the home inspector recommended replacing the siding on the entire south side of the house and then replacing sections of it where necessary on other areas of the house. This product is, of course, no longer available so another similar product (can we even get something that looks similar?) would need to be used. What do you think?

Using mulch in a drought tolerant garden
I started a new topic because it seems as though it's a departure from the hardy drought-tolerant things we've been discussing, even though it can be related.
My big flower bed is an interesting mix of problems. The soil is pretty sandy and loose and drains quickly. It can get really, really dry out there. I haven't taken a sample to OSU yet, because it's just too hot to go anyplace that isn't mandatory. So . . . . I have about 2/3 of the bed in full sun and the remaining 1/3 in partial to full high shade from the oaks. Obviously the back of the bed that's under the oaks has a more humus-rich soil. The whole thing slopes gently a few inches from back to front, where it eventually meets the concrete of the enormous driveway. The front gets completely full sun and is.... difficult. Not only is it hot and bone-dry from the combination of sun and soil, but it also picks up additional heat from all that expanse of concrete.
In the entire bed I have my standard perennials of peonies, a couple of roses, some hibiscus moscheutos and hydrangea, a rose of sharon and 3 crape myrtles of assorted sizes and shapes, monarda, coreopsis and spiderwort, as well as the big clumps of bearded iris. There are a couple of azaleas and hostas in the shade. There are also two young maples that will eventually provide some more partial shade. Those were all put in before I began to switch over to the more native and drought-conscious materials. Since then I've added oenothera, lavender, malva fastigata, perovskia, some deep blue salvia (I'm not sure which one) and some sedum brevifolium for the really dry and bare spots. Purple violets followed me home from CA and have moved into wherever they might be happy. They are thriving in the shade.
Next spring I'll be adding in (with any luck) epilobium (hummingbird trumpet), sphaeralcea (desert malow), mirabilis, agastache, callirhoe (wine cups), more penstemon (fendleri, cyananthus, and secundifolius), and yellow oenothera, as well as setting out my new hesperaloe and zauschneria this fall, as soon as the weather cools down enough. I know that sounds like a lot of stuff, but I do have a big area to fill. If it ends up looking like a semi-native version of a cottage garden, so much the better.
My problem is this: I cannot leave the soil uncovered and not expect to deal with a bumper crop of devilgrass, bindweed, stick-tights and a host of other junk materials that I have to try to keep weeded out. I mentioned in a post several weeks ago that I invested in the 3 oz WeedBarrier Pro from DeWitt and the weeds that didn't come up through it simply seeded over the top and grew down instead. Not the optimum solution. DeWitt finally agreed to replace it with a big roll of their heaviest industrial grade product, which is now sitting in my shop building. And that brings me to the whole subject of the thread. Is it safe or wise to mulch the drought tolerant natives? If so, how much do I dare alter their native growing conditions? Clearly I'll have to withhold the water that's routed to the plants that need it, so that the natives aren't drowned by it. With my drip system I can't see that as a problem. I'll just redesign it and make some adjustments to suit the individual plants. I don't seem to get much, if any, run-off from it that can't be controlled to suit individual plant needs. But, will I be creating a nasty situation by using the mulch at all around the things that want to be, say, in TX or NM? Will my care and attention simply do them in?
I can't see how I'll ever be able to manage that big garden without using mulch of some kind to control the rampant weeds. Will I need to find a fine line between controlling them and still keeping the natives happy? Or can I go ahead and use the mulch as I would normally do and then simply control the water? I'll be altering the soil temperature at the same time, so I have to wonder how many things will want that dry, hot, unprotected soil and won't be happy without it. Somehow I need to find a happy in-between that will allow the plants to thrive and not kill me off with weed maintenance. This old body doesn't bend over and work for the long hours that it used to do. I don't want to completely sacrifice my big established stuff, but I really do also want to bring in more of the water-wise and hardy natives.
Can anyone give me some clues?
I think it would be a wiser path to mulch everything and control the amount of water the plants will get. Now, if we get a bunch of rain, there's not much you can do about that. But many of the plants you mentioned are native to this area, so i must assume that they will be just fine with the erratic weather here. I'm sowing and planting many of the same plants as you, and i plan on mulching them.
Look at what's growing naturally around you. There aren't many plants that like growing on bare soil that is cooked and cracked to bits. By mulching, you are mimicking the natural processes of nature. Other people may have other opinions about that though.
My favorite mulch is anything that is free. I usually stockpile OPBL (other people's bagged leaves) in the fall and use that as a mulch throughout the growing season. I've planted many grasses this year and some of them will get pretty large, so i also plan on using the dried grasses that i trim in early spring as mulch as well.
Pat, I tried to write an answer and it rejected it.
By all means, mulch away! I mulch everything, no matter what it is. Use pine straw, rice hulls, gravel, whatever you have but mulch, mulch mulch. Even drought tolerant stuff will appreciate mulch. If you go out in the desert in AZ, you'll notice that even the hardiest, most drought tolerant plants grow better where they have some natural mulch and where there is windblown and lack natural mulch there will be no life.
I wish you could visit the Phoenix Botanical Gardens so that you could see what they have and how they grow.
Have you spent any time at the Wichita Refuge? They have some natural plant scaling. Might be a good place to study what you're attempting to do.
Check out their fuchsia flowered barrel cactus. I once had one of those. I was very bad and "swiped" a baby one off of Ft. Sill. It thrived on a raised mound of soil with good drainage. I actually mailed it to my brother, who is on the Board for the Phoenix Botanical Gardens, since I knew I was moving, and they included it in one of their cactus displays.
Oh, good! I thought I was right, but wondered if I was making yet another mistake in my new location. I do habitually mulch nearly everything, and then adjust the water for specific needs. I use commercial weed fabric, leaves, hay, newspapers, grass clippings, pea gravel, bark, or whatever looks reasonable and I can get my hands on. And, of course, depending on the season, whether it's for permanent use or simply some winter protection. The only thing that didn't get mulch this year was the new strawberry bed, since I wanted to give it a chance to settle in and send out runners. By next year it should be so thick that it will be providing its own shade . . . sort of.
I've never been to the Phoenix Botanical Garden, but have spent a fair amount of time wandering around in the unpopulated areas south and SE of Tucson. I'm always amazed at the variety of vegetation that manages to survive in spite of nearly anything. In fact, there are a couple of roadside rest areas there that have been carefully planted in a very ecology-conscious way and they are just gorgeous.
Speaking of that barrel cactus, I was out in Barstow years ago, as a kid, and staying with a family that had a pretty natural desert garden. No grasses of any kind, and all native stuff. I found one of the fuchsia flowered cactus growing wild in a huge expanse of empty desert a mile or so from the house and I went and got the wheelbarrow, dug it up, and took it home to our friend. Too young to know I was really disturbing stuff that should be left well enough alone. As far as I know, it thrived in the new location.
I also have not been to the Wichita Refuge. As I said in a different thread, I haven't gotten out and about much since I moved to OK. Where is that located? I'm just SW of Shawnee. Is it a long distance from me?
You can also use granite, if you prefer the hardscape look. Please dont put black plastic underneath. Somebody did my whole yard in plastic and rock. Now, the rock is thinning, the plastic is wearing out and the weeds are growing. It's impossible to pull all the plastic up out of the rocks, it looks like crap sticking up all over the place and I'm having to either add more rocks, which I dont want, remove everything, or, what?
On the side where it's the thinnest, I've managed to pull most of it up. That's actually the side where my garden is and, because of the added moisture, I've been able to establish Bermuda on top of the rocks. Wish I could do that everywhere! We have flood irrigation available, so if I did establish grass, I could have plentiful irrigation for it, only about $60 a month, remnants of when Mesa was a citrus growing and agricultural area, not a city.
I'll probably attempt to get clover and rye going in the walkways for the winter this year, so that the chickens have pasture, and continue to work on establishing the grass further, throughout the yard.
Anything but the ugly black plastic sticking out through rocks!
Just try to think 10-15 years in the future when you start putting stuff down. I've not heard great things about landscape fabric either, make sure you use good quality or none at all. I'd probably vote for none.
The problem I have with landscape fabric under an organic mulch--I use coarse wood chips and bark--is that the mulch degrades to make a lovely seed bed over the mulch and weeds and crabgrass come up in it. And bermuda isn't stopped by it at all. Someone on here once said that the only good mulch to put over landscape fabric is gravel, and even it can catch enough dust to make soil and grow weeds. I wish I had never used it and in several places have managed to get it up. My preference now is for just continuing to pile on an organic mulch over bare dirt.
Black plastic? Oh, yuck!! I thought for sure that people had learned not to use that stuff 20 years ago. It's beyond horrible. If anyone has ever gotten a good look at what it does to soil and roots underneath it, they would never even think of using it. I once saw a nice ornamental crabapple all but dead from the girdling roots caused by that awful stuff. I've also seen the soil go sour from using it, and turn into a nasty smelly mess. Brrr-r-r-r-r-r-r.
What I'm using at the moment is the pro-grade DeWitt product, but it didn't do the job and they replaced it with a roll of engineering-grade instead. Since I bought a huge roll of it (3,000 sq ft) and it failed, it was worth calling the company to see if they'd make good on the warranty. They finally did. I had tried just about all the other landscape fabrics and had near zero success with them, so I decided to go with a top-of-the-line commercial product. If this new one doesn't work, I'm out of luck.
In nearly all cases where I've used that, I'm topping it with pea gravel. Now of course I need to take up all the bad areas and replace it with the new stuff, which means moving all that gravel in order to do it. Sigh.
I did discover that when I top it with either bark or pecan shell, the weeds are thrilled with it. It doesn't slow them down a bit. I'm going to have to pull every bit of it out and do all of that over again also.
In the veggie garden I use thick layers of newspaper and grass clippings or chopped up hay bedding over the top of it, so it can be turned under later on. If I didn't want to continue to improve the soil where I'm growing produce, I could use a more permanent fabric, but the newspaper (or paper feed sacks) works pretty well when they are topped by several inches of actual mulch. I just wet them all down thoroughly when I put them in place and then pile the mulch over the top. I've never tried cardboard for that, although I've heard that some people do it.
Speaking of the landscape fabrics in general, meaning the ones you can find at Lowe's and places like that, I think they're a waste of time and money, and I speak from experience. I noticed that the local nursery at Shawnee Feed is now carrying little rolls of the DeWitt brand, but I seriously doubt that it's the heavy industrial grade stuff that I have.
If I have to look on the plus side of needing to do all that work again, as least it will give me an opportunity to situate the new plants where I want them and lay out the drip line properly, to suit the needs of the individual plants. It was an afterthought when my grandson put it in for me, and it was never really finished or done right if I'm going to be changing plant materials.
And speaking of that, has anyone else noticed how hard it is to find a good supply of drip system stuff in OK. Is it just me? Am I not looking in the right places? I can't find the shrub bubblers that I want, or the micro spinners, or the spikes that are used in nursery pots, or any of that stuff. Anyone have a suggestion about where to find a good supplier?
For drip irrigation needs, I order from dripworks.com.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dripworks.com
Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it. I've been puzzled by the fact that a lot of the really good products I used 20 years ago don't seem to be available now. With people being more conservation conscious now, you'd think it would be just the reverse. There should be more products available, instead of fewer.
One of the things I'm finding with the pro weed barrier is that it's supposed to be completely permeable to let the water through. Maybe it does, but it also puddles up pretty badly on top and tends to run downhill if there is the slightest slope. Maybe I'm being overly picky, but when I direct water to a plant, I'd like it to go where it is supposed to and not end up 6' away. If I switch over to shrub bubblers instead of spinners, it might solve the problem.
My kids have been talking about getting one of the battery operated timers to put on the main drip line so it would come on at night or in the wee hours of the morning, to make the most efficient use of the water. It's an idea.
Oh, Pat. The Wichita Refuge is near Ft. Sill and Lawton. I suggest going in the spring or fall. A fun time to go is on the day of the buffalo or longhorn sale. You can call the refuge to get the annual dates. They have a great barbecue at each sale and it's awesome to see the animals come through the sale chutes, knowing they were just brought in wild off the range, especially the buffalo. I bought longhorns from there and they were wonderful animals.
Save a couple of hours to go through the museum.
If you have time, Ft. Sill also has a museum. They also have fabulous scenery, as a good portion of the base is sparsely populated. You can get a map and go for a long drive out to the Ft. Sill side of Lake Lawtonka, figuring on at least half an hour each direction, and have beautiful scenery, wildlife and landscape ranging from deep woods, low mountains, plains and drylands along the way.
It sounds like a great trip. I've barely gone anyplace since moving here. Mostly to see the Dr in OKC is all. My daughter said it's about a 2 hour drive for us to get down there from Shawnee.
Just the idea of seeing buffalo being brought in for the sale sort of boggles the mind. It would be interesting just to see what sort of equipment they need to be able to handle animals like that, right off the range. Yikes! Now I'll need to look up the refuge web site. I imagine they have one?
It's a great place to visit fall through spring, but kind of toasty hot at this time of year.
You can camp, hike, do some rock climbing or just watch the wildlife.
A trip to the WMWR isn't complete without a side trip to Meers for a Meersburger at the Meers Store and Restaurant.
Here is a link that might be useful: Website of Wichita Mtns Wildlife Refuge
There are also elk, which are my favorite. If you can go in late September or early October, you must be there in the hours right at sunrise and sunset. Get out on the remotest hiking trails of the refuge ( maybe ask around and get a map the day before ) so that you hear the elk bugle. You can also hear them out west on Ft. Sill, but check elk hunting season, bow hunting is somewhere around the last week in September, when elk are bugling, so the hunters on Ft. Sill will be all over. Not that dangerous, since it's archery but still best avoided.
There is a big alfalfa field on the interstate when you drive up to Ft. Sill, on your right, you will most likely see a herd of elk, especially in the cooler hours of the day and during hunting season, since that's a no- elk hunting zone. (deer only)
There is lots of hiking on the refuge. If you get some bugling DVDs a bugle from Walmart, you might even get a bull elk to answer you, if you're lucky!
I've only ever seen one herd of elk, and didn't know that there might be any around here. When I lived in central WA, the game dept maintains feeding stations for them, to try to prevent them from traipsing down to the orchards and doing a lot of damage. Some friends took me way up in the mountains to see one of them and it was pretty amazing. We drove a few miles up the forestry road past the station and ran across a whole herd of them grazing in an open meadow. Wow.
And once, driving across Wyoming I was lucky enough to see a small herd of antelope bounding along through the grass, not far from the highway. It was such a fabulous thing to see. Other than the highway, there was not a single sign of man out on that prairie. Just miles of grass, waving in the wind. It's nice to know that things like that still exist.
Now I've got some reading to do about the Wichita Refuge. I was amazed to learn when it was established . . . before OK even became a state! And the prairie survived there simply because it was too rocky to do anything else. Incredible. Maybe now I'll have to take a trip to see it.
Hey, I never thought about that use for the plastic. Sounds like a neat idea. Just as long as no-one suggests putting it down as a mulch base, I'll be happy.
And speaking of plastic, I think we've all cut the bottoms out of the gallon milk jugs and used them as emergency covers for small plants during a freeze. Last year I found another use for them. I needed label spikes for a bunch of stuff I was starting in flats, so I took some of the jugs, got out the kitchen shears and cut the things into long vertical strips. A permanent marker did the job of adding all names of the seeds and it worked pretty well. When I ran out of those, I used a package of the craft sticks like tongue depressors that cost $1 for a big bunch of them at the Dollar Store.
I don't know how many of our big paper livestock feed sacks got thrown away before it dawned on me to save them and put them down as a mulch base around the melons and cukes. As long as they don't have a plastic liner, they work fine.

Insights on how the global campaign has been adapted to the China market.
Shanghai -- Coca-Cola unveiled its summer campaign on Tuesday with the localization of its global "Shake A Coke" initiative in China.
Unlike Western markets in Australia and Europe that use consumer names like Zoe or Dan, Coke's packaging in China feature nicknames such as "cool dude," "fans," and "artistic youth," among many others.
To drive social awareness of its new packaging, Coke has launched a four-day contest to get its more than 105, 700 Sina Weibo fans to repost the nickname that catches their eye on the microblog.
The soft drink company will pick 99 Weibo fans who participated and send them a bottle with the nickname of their choice including a mystery gift.
Coca-Cola also deployed search marketing on Baidu so that the right-hand side of its results page features the TVC of its summer campaign as well as a link to the campaign site.
The campaign site displays customized descriptions of all the nicknames to facilitate easy sharing across Sina and Tencent Weibo as well as RenRen.
Amy Chen, interactive marketing director at Coca-Cola Greater China, says the summer campaign will run for three months and they will be rolling out various initiatives in the coming weeks.
Chen was also at the SES Shanghai conference to talk about the importance of real-time content marketing and brand engagement for social media in China.
Some of the points shared during her presentation include:

Sign in to digital edition
Wednesday 1 Apr 2015
By Julia Michalska. Web onlyPublished online: 27 February 2013
The tenth edition of Manifesta, the nomadic European Biennial of Contemporary Art, will be hosted by the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, it has been announced today.
The biennial, which changes its location every edition, was launched shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall to encourage artistic dialogue between European countries formerly divided by the Iron Curtain. Manifesta 10 in 2014 will be the first edition to take place in an eastern European country. "For our 20th jubilee edition, we wanted to reinvestigate our aims. Have we been true to them? And to what extent?" says Hedwig Fijen, the founding director of the biennial. "In this respect, we are grateful that the Hermitage offered to host Manifesta next year and that we can stage the exhibition in eastern Europe." The decision comes at a time when the Hermitage is under pressure from conservative critics. In October, Mikhail Piotrovsky, the director of the Hermitage, came under fire from nationalists and Orthodox believers for the exhibition "The End of Fun" of work by the British artists Jake and Dinos Chapman, which inaugurated the museum's contemporary art halls. St Petersburg's controversial law banning "homosexual propaganda" may also prove to be a stumbling block. Fijen believes this makes the biennial's presence in the city all the more important: "Of course, we are concerned about the current conservative climate. But should we isolate all those countries that are not up to the full standard of human rights? Or should we try to build bridges and create a cultural dialogue?" Fijen asks. Three candidates for the curator of the biennial will be invited to the Hermitage to research the museum and create a proposal for the concept of the exhibition. Fijen says she expects the appointment will be made in June around the time of the opening of the Venice Biennale.

I'll be speaking at Free Minds 2010, along with Nathaniel Branden, Anne Heller, David Kelley, Tibor Machan, Henry and Erika Holzer, Nigel Ashford, and two dozen more scholars and practitioners of Ayn Rand's ideas and other libertarian thinkers. The conference will be held in Alexandria, Virginia, near Washington and Reagan National Airport, June 30 to July 8. If that's too long, you can register for either the pre-July 4 or the post-July 4 half of the seminar. Either way, you can spend July 4 wandering the city the Founders established and wondering what they would think.

All signs point to Rome being No. 1 TE
The 2011 class features a good group of tight ends. A solid six at the position are found in the initial ESPNU 150 rankings, and there is good talent in the four- and three-star range as well. There are, naturally, more players ready to contribute as targets in the passing game, but the class does boast a good group of well-rounded players, especially among those ranked in the ESPNU 150.
Top prospectsJay Rome (Valdosta, Ga./Valdosta)
Ht.: 6-5 | Wt.: 230 pounds | Stars: 4 | TE rank: 1 | ESPNU 150 rank: 20
College: Undecided
The top tight end in this class reminds us a lot of the top tight end in 2010 class, USC signee Xavier Grimble. Rome has a nice mixture of size, ability and tools to contribute as a blocker and receiver. He presents a big target with soft hands in the passing game. While he needs some polish, he could be a productive, tough blocker.
Nick O'Leary (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla./Dwyer)
Ht.: 6-4 | Wt.: 230 pounds | Stars: 4 | TE rank: 2 | ESPNU 150 rank: 22
College: Undecided
There seems to be a lot of things O'Leary can do well. He is a physical kid who seems to thrive on contact. He needs to keep working on his technique to become a good in-line blocker. He also has good hands and can make tough grabs. O'Leary seems to successfully meld a blue-collar style of play with excellent athleticism.
Malcolm Faciane (Picayune, Miss./Picayune Memorial)
Ht.: 6-5 | Wt.: 260 pounds | Stars: 4 | TE rank: 3 | ESPNU 150 rank: 76
College: Alabama
One of the top tight ends in this class may be one of the better kept secrets. Faciane has good size and the ability to get out of his stance quickly. He can be productive in the passing game and, with some development, could be a real asset as an in-line blocker. He seems like a perfect fit and a steal for Alabama.
TEs to watch• The No. 6-rated tight end in the ESPNU 150 might be viewed by some as a defensive prospect, but we really like what Brandon Fulse (Fort Meade, Fla./Fort Meade) brings to the table on offense. The 6-4, 250-pounder can be a load at the tight end position. He is a strong blocker who can get into defenders and drive them off the ball. He also runs well for his size, makes some nice grabs and grinds out yards after the catch. • Eric Ebron (Greensboro, N.C./Smith) is a good-sized target (6-4, 225 pounds) with the frame to develop. The North Carolina commit can snatch the ball out of the air and is capable of being a tough matchup because he will go up and get the ball. He should be a pretty popular and busy guy in the red zone for the Tar Heels. • Wallace Gonzalez (La Puente, Calif./Bishop Amat) holds no offers, but missed time and a second sport could be keeping him under the radar. He also transferred schools, which forced him to miss all but one game as a junior. On top of being a talented tight end, Gonzalez is a coveted baseball prospect and his prowess and time on the diamond could slow his development as a tight end and make recruiters a little cautious. Past that, Gonzalez is a promising tight end prospect because he has good size (6-5, 221 pounds), good ball skills and can be a productive part of a passing attack. He is someone to keep an eye on and could end up being a nice steal for a school that makes a move, especially if he turns his attention to the gridiron.
NotesJack Tabb (Red Bank, N.J./Catholic) is a four-star tight end prospect who may end up being a better fit on defense. He runs well, and, regardless of which side of the ball he plays on, he is a pretty good football player and recruit. ... Not shocking, but the sons of two offensive line coaches are two of the best blocking tight ends in this class. Louie Addazio (Gainesville, Fla./Buchholz), whose father coaches at Florida, and Robert Kugler (Wexford, Pa./North Allegheny), whose father coaches for the Pittsburgh Steelers, both quickly get into defenders and combine good technique with tenacious styles to be productive blockers. ... Bennie Browne (Cincinnati/Walnut Hills) is a prospect short on experience, but he has good size, tools and presents nice upside. ... It is hard to imagine monster tight end prospect Austin Seferian-Jenkins (Gig Harbor, Wash./Gig Harbor) not eventually playing offensive tackle, but the ESPNU 150 prospect certainly shows enough to deserve a shot to prove he can be a big college tight end. ... Massachusetts is not a hot bed for recruiting, but the state has been turning out some good tight end talent recently. The newest prospect at that position is Brian Miller (Andover, Mass./Andover). He needs to develop as a blocker, but he has good hands and can be a target in the passing game. ... Ben Koyack (Oil City, Pa./Oil City) gives Notre Dame a player who can be a nice target in the passing game. He has good height and hands, and he will consistently go up and compete for the ball.

By coincidence my contract was up for review just as tilly posted his Works for Hire article. It did indeed have a clause regarding IP rights and I queried it. I was told that it was only in regard to what I did in work time, and that my own personal IP was protected by UK law. Our company lawyer said that in 1977 the Government at that time accepted a number of principles which were incorporated with in the Patents Act 1977 ss39-43, or "the Employees Inventions code."

Tribal Bass Guitar Cabinet 1st post
01-11-2014 01:37 AM by Texcaster | 3 comments »
This cabinet will hold basses and guitars in cases. Euro beech framing, cherry and chilean myrtle panels. The rails are cut from one large board, kept in sequence as is the cherry in the top panels. The grain in the top panels changes direction. The Myrtle will be hand carved to achieve irregular lines and painted. The tribal art of Papua New Guinea has a big influence on the work I do. I love it. The feet are a nod to Leo Fender. The framing is 27mm thick, the stiles and rails are sl...
Upholstering 2 Chairs For My Living Room #8: Upholstering the seat

Finally!!! We get to do some upholstery!!! 45% preparation – 45% finishing 10% upholstery. You will need cotton which can be bought at an upholster supply company for about $30. Mine is 30 inches wide which is just right for upholstery. I walked over to my roll and literally tore off about a 25 inch length. I'm going to say my magic words again. This isn't wood working. You measure precisely and cut with scissors. There is no benefit except for saving a few inches o...
Workshop Development #88: Quick and dirty 20 minutes in the shop. More drywall up!

I know it isn't much, but I have some more of the drywall up, the big part from the halfway point to the door brackets. It allowed me to close up the gap allowing cold air to blow in around the studs. I caulked that up, installed the drywall and patched a mistake. I have a couple areas to clean up / install maybe tonight and I am good to go! The tough part is going to be the bottom around the AC ducts. I can get it done, but it will take some creativity. This weekend most likely, ...
G0555X Bandsaw Drama

My brand new Grizzly Bandsaw (re: toy) was to be delivered on Wednesday by a certain shipping company (not DOWNS but…). Anyway, on Wednesday they left a note on my door that they would try again Thursday. So I took off work for the whole day. By 4PM I was a little concerned; I went on line, traced my shipping number, confirmed that it would be delivered in fact on Thursday. So I waited… Six o'clock; still no saw. Called the 800 number on the back of the note. A very p...
Sapele Maple Coffee Table #1: Planning

I have been planning a coffee table project for about a year now and it has gone through a number of design concepts. I have always wanted to build a table out of walnut and contrast is with maple accents. This is a recurring theme in my projects. I struggled with the theme and style for a long time. The intent was to be simple, but with some minor details that stand out and increase the technical aspect of the work. I also like square and simple lines with solid members. I am not a fan ...

My Version of the $175 Workbench #2: Coming together
06-07-2014 11:15 PM by jonah | 2 comments »
I started this blog series when I was halfway done with the workbench, so it probably seems like the thing is coming together a lot faster than it should. Yesterday and today I worked on the long stretchers. I got the holes drilled, got the cross dowels situated, and bolted everything together. The process went fairly smoothly, but in hindsight I should have created a jig to determine the exact location of the hole for the cross dowels. In probably 3-4 out of the 8 holes I had to widen...

The professional associations and networks I develop at ISA are invaluable, and play an important role in my career growth to the executive level in the automation industry. I can honestly say that ISA has made a difference in my life and career.
–Prabhu Soundarrajan, Director of ISA's Chemical Petroleum Industries Division (ChemPID)
ISA's products and services are organized by technical topic – a selection of technologies, trends, and areas of focus that are relevant to your on-the-job performance:
Many product companies believe extracting knowledge from experienced people and incorporating it into automation systems is a silver bullet for dealing with the skills crisis. While this is valuable technology, it is just one of the tools bridging us to the future and is not the single silver bullet to solve the skills crisis.
The skills crisis has been discussed at virtually every conference and forum I have attended over the last two years. The issue is complex and touches every geographic area of the world. The developed countries have aging workforces that are retiring and a lack of interest on the part of young people to enter the automation profession. Developing countries are starting from a low base of experienced people. I have been told by people from all areas of the world that the automation field is not attractive to young people, and this further complicates the problem. ISA, FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), the Automation Federation, and other groups are taking on the challenge to attract young people to the automation profession.
Capturing the knowledge of experienced people into automation systems is a sound idea, but taken to an extreme, I think this could be limiting. Thinking about primarily relying on knowledge based systems, I believe there is an embedded assumption that industry and production technology will remain static, therefore capturing existing knowledge will solve the problem. However, industrial technology certainly will not remain static and will need educated people that can solve problems and create new automation solutions. I suggest, in addition to advanced systems, we need to provide superior training and mentoring.
There are a number of good places for education including technical schools, colleges, universities, vendor training, industry associations, and ISA. Technology can also be used to improve training. A good example of using technology is the use of virtual reality such as the Invensys EYESIM (www.isa.org/link/EYESIM) that puts a student into a virtual plant for training.
New automation people can learn a great deal about how to think and attack problems from experienced automaton professionals. Rather than early retiring experienced people, and in many cases hiring them back as consultants to solve specific problems, it would be more productive to use them as mentors and coaches for new people. They can instruct new people on specific technical methods and more importantly how to analyze problems and application challenges.
I was impressed with the advice from Terry Jones, KYAK founder and former chief executive of Travelocity.com, who noted last year that efficient teams are a balance of experienced people with "old world" knowledge and new people with youthful exuberance. The "old dogs" will learn new tricks, and "new dogs" will learn old tricks to create successful innovations. In addition, the experienced people will help the new ones avoid old mistakes. Those of us that have been around the industry for some time have seen companies lay off experienced people based on economics and the new "cheaper" people make "old" errors that cost the company money. No one accounts for the loss of profits later due to lack of experience. The knowledge and know-how of experienced people is extremely valuable, but the real multiplier is the combined creativity of new and existing people working together that can yield high results. One issue that needs to be solved in an organization for this to work is the fear that existing people have-if they educate the new person they will loose their job. Taking this approach requires looking at the future value of an investment made in people.

Bradley Smoker
Does anyone have/use a Bradley Smoker. What do you think of it? Do you use it enough to justify the cost? Thanks if anyone can help!
Hi Roberta
I built a smoker from a a new steel barrel, and use charcoal to heat it with. Things I have learned, are that I would like to have a steady source of heat like gas or electric to make it easier maintain the nessary low heat to smoke meat, and this is a very time consuming cooking method so be prepared to watch your smoker for many hours. The last pork butt that I smoked was cooked in the oven for 10 hours before I put it in the smoker for the last 2 or 3 hours because its much easier to maintain the low heat nessary to cook the meat, but thats because my smoker is real low tech. Also I saw a show on the food channel where the chef used a cardboard box with an electric hot plate and a cast iron pan to smoke salmon, with the point being that you don't have to spend a fortune to have smoked food. I looked at the ads for the Bradly smoker, and they look like they would do a good job, but you would have to smoke a lot of meat to make it worth that sort of money. Here is a recipe site to help to get your mouth watering for some good smoked food; www.cookshack.com Bill
We bought the Bradley Smoker and like it. I don't know yet if the use justifies the cost. We have smoked salmon, pork chops, sausage and chicken. We are finding that things come out a little dry, so we need to adjust the timing, etc. I love stuff smoked, however and this is a project in progress!!!
As far as the pit thing, I don't know what you mean. Once we smoke meats, we grill them. With the salmon, it is just smoked and slowly cooked.
I have a bradley & have made some great stuff on it mainly Ribs, brisket & pork butts, but if i had to do it all over again I would have definately went with the cookshack smoker.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cook Shack Smokers

Toyota recalls 310,000 FJ Cruisers due to seatbelt issue
Toyota has recalled a huge number of its popular FJ Cruiser SUVs - 310,000 to be exact. The recall was made due to a safety hazard posed by the driver and passenger seat belts, which could potentially fail due to how they are positioned in the vehicle. Most of the vehicles being recalled are in the US, but some of them are located elsewhere.

Crimes of the Heart
June 6th and 7th at 7pm
The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at thirty and facing diminishing marital prospects; Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast; while Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach. Their troubles, grave and yet, somehow, hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.

"The harder you work, the luckier you get."
Gary Player
Below is the poem entitled My Son which was written by poet
Silby. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Nicole Silby
From the time of conception,
An emotional rollercoaster
My son was given to me
Through time accepted eternity.
I knew who he'd be
Before he entered this world
My son is beautiful
As my story unfolds
"My God", people would say
When they saw him for the first
"But you're white", came the response
Expecting my son as the worst
Get a life I would say
To those who disrespect
My blood, my soul,
together we are whole.
As we've grown together
Our love shines through it all
The stares, the glares
There is nothing to compare.
"Love who you are",
I say from my heart
Treat everybody equally
We all bleed, lets be here peacefully.

Those looking for price inflation can easily find it if they open their eyes and look at the much beloved BRICs, Brazil, Russia, India, and China, as opposed to where everyone is looking, which is to say the United States.
MarketWatch reports China's June inflation rises 6.4%
Monthly data released by the National Bureau of Statistics of China showed the consumer price index for June climbed 6.4 % from the same period the year before. Many economists had expected the rise to be between 6.2% and 6.4%.Chinese Central Bank Downplays Soaring Costs
That increase compared with a 5.5% jump in May, which was itself the fastest rise in CPI since a 6.3% increase in July 2008.
China's central bank chief Friday suggested markets shouldn't over react to a large rise in year-on-year inflation for June, saying that month-on-month figures are a better gauge of prices.Nonsense From Zhou
"It's better to use month-on-month inflation (data)...seasonally adjusted and annualized," said People's Bank of China Gov. Zhou Xiaochuan.
"In China, we use the year-on-year inflation figure without seasonal adjustment: that's the problem," Zhou told a financial conference. "You always try to think about the base effect."
While the collapse of communism in the 1990s destroyed most Russians' standard of living, something resembling a middle class began to appear again between 2000 and 2008, as real incomes doubled and oil revenues kept wages and pensions well ahead of inflation.India Hikes Rates 10 Times in 16 Months to Combat Inflation
However, since the onset of the economic crisis in 2008, real incomes have been stagnating as wages have been frozen – while inflation gallops on.
Since the onset of the economic crisis in 2008, which saw gross domestic product fall 8 per cent in 2009, wages in most sectors have been frozen, while inflation, temporarily damped by the crisis, has now picked up. In the first quarter of 2011, real wages fell 2.9 per cent, driven by higher inflation than expected.
While official inflation for the year sits at a little more than 9 per cent, many think this statistic is fudged. "I think the real inflation rate is being understated by official statistics," says Sam Greene, a professor of political science at the Moscow-based New Economic School.
Over the past five years, official statistics show prices rising 62 per cent but most Russians feel much greater increases.
"The middle class is splitting in two," says Mikhail Chernysh, head of the social mobility section of the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Sociology. "One part is in danger of falling out of the middle class, while the other part is gaining.
"Getting into the middle class is very difficult in Russia and once you are there, it is hard to stay."
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the central bank, has raised interest rates for a record 10th time in 16 months, grimly continuing its efforts to choke inflation by checking money flow.Note: The above link may trigger unwanted popups.
But belt-tightening, the RBI has decided, remains one of the critical ways to tackle inflation, which rose to 9.06 % in May, up from 8.66 % in April.
"High input prices, rising finance costs and global uncertainties are adding to negative sentiments ... and a high interest rate environment will most certainly put brakes on new investments," Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India president Dilip Modi told Agence France-Presse.
RBI governor Duvvuri Subbarao is unimpressed by such pleas, declaring in a statement that the immediate priority was to kill inflation, not to feed growth.

IncGamers Podcast / Vidcast #8931 Oct 2012
The overspill from Robert Florence's floodgate-opening article continues this week, with confirmation from Eurogamer editor Tom Bramwell that the piece was amended due to the threat of legal action. We discuss the implications of this detail, and question the stance of games sites who've either chosen to either remain quiet or dismiss the story's relevance.
Speaking of a lack of relevance, The Golden Joystick Award winners were revealed last Friday. Did anyone truly care?
Probably not. But despite the depressing events of the past few days, the podcast team does still care about games. Throughout the broadcast you'll hear thoughts on Hotline Miami, Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, Mechwarrior Online and Airmech.
There's also some sizeable news about the future direction of the IncGamers.com site (right near the end).
Pick your style below. Compact and portable audio, or visual splendor. If you need more aural healing, iTunes is the place to be.
If you missed our special edition on Friday, dedicated to the Florence/Wainwright incident, you can listen to that here.
