Williams, Erin Marie Shepard
ERIN MARIE SHEPARD WILLIAMS, then a student at George Washington University, Washington, DC, was awarded funding in April 2009, to aid research on 'Influences of Material Properties and Biomechanics on Stone Tool Production,' supervised by Dr. Alison S. Brooks. Later Homo possesses a derived thumb that is robust and long relative to the other digits, with enhanced musculature compared to extant apes and early hominins. Researchers have hypothesized that this anatomy was selected in part to withstand high forces acting on the thumb during stone tool production. Previous studies indirectly support this hypothesis; however, direct data on loads experienced during stone tool production and their distribution across the hand are lacking. Using a dynamic pressure sensor system and 3-D motion capture technology, manual forces and pressures were collected from six experienced knappers replicating Oldowan tools. Knappers used hammerstones requiring a 3-jaw chuck grip. Peak and strike forces and pressures and impulse and pressure-time integrals were consistently significantly greater on the 2nd and/or 3rd digits compared to the 1st across all subjects. Kinematics data revealed that this distribution pattern was not consistently present during up-swing, however it was es

Most plans I have seen call for cutting notches in your copper tubes. Time consuming and tedious.
I have a CNC mini mill which I got so that I can sit around and drink beer while the computer does the grunt work, on projects like this. Drilling lots of holes - no sweat.
So will holes work or does the geometry require notches (large enough to let plenty of liqued through but not bits and pieces of grain)?
My manifold is drilled (I had to do it with a little less complicated drill press though ) and I have no trouble at all. I can't remember the bit size I used but it was very small (diameter is less than the width of a hacksaw cut) so I get VERY little grain matter in the output. I drilled the wholes every 4mm. There's a picture in my gallery (though it's not very good).
I see no reason why drilled holes wouldn't work. Just make lots of them and make them as small as possible.
I use to work at a circuit board shop as a cnc drill operator. We had some extremely small bits. .0015" is about as small as it got. not .015", .0015" they could make smaller but that was as small as we used. They were very tiny. Made of a tungston carbide alloy. Tycom was our supplier. The bits from the tip of the tool to the end was about an inch and a half. Those bits were as thin as a human hair, and they went through 10 layers of circuit board... they were nuts. You could get 500 hits off of a single bit... anyhow, I would suggest a #77 or a #76 drill bit for your holes. Put them really close together, really close. Then just go around that pipe. If ya get it close enough would look almost like a screen bent into a cylinder if you went around the whole pipe. Personally I'd put 8 or 9 rows the length of the pipe, very close together on one side, simulating cuts. Don't forget to deburr!!! If you could figure out something to stick in the center of the pipe that fit snug against the metal you won't have any burrs on the inside of the pipe. Not sure what would work on that though. And if you have an entry material that would cut down on the burrs on the outside as well. I hope I've been of some help.
"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's as good as they're going to feel all day." -Dean Martin
I drilled holes in mine- used 1/8 or 3/16 on mine. I get some bits on the first run but I re run them and get nothing
Interesting post grimsawyer. I am adding a 4th axis (rotary table) to my CNC when I can spare time from my beer brewing and drinking responsibilities.
Once I have that I can chuck the pipe in the rotary table and put as many rows of holes in it as I want, always drilling straight down not on a slant. With that in mind what angle would you recommend for the radial segment that I drill holes thru? 10,20,30 degrees worth of circumference, etc? I would guess that 180 would be the limit because you don't want holes on top obviously.
As to preventing burrs, lets see here, just some ideas:
1. cram a wooden dowel into the pipe then drill it out when done.
2. fill the pipe with some sort of non-toxic castable stuff, drill, remove. I thought about some other options here but ruled out techniques that would be okay for machining/tubing bending applications, but not something you want touching anything you are going to eat/drink.
3. ream pipe ID after drilling holes.
I put my slots at 90 degrees. It doesn't leave too much good wort behind because I double batch sparge. I did this because I use steam to mash and I didn't want the steam directly at the plastic bottom. You may want to consider this for future modifications. I love the steam mashing. Plus, I can use the steam to sterilize my cfc and hoses.
This place really went to hell. Follow the OF standard stout. Bye.
Right off the Big Island Road. Fishing isn't bad, but it's gone downhill from when I was a kid. Now I don't even know if you are allowed to fish off the wharf.
And now there's a seal(s) that's appeared in the last few years that's probably making a dent in the trout and bass. C'est la vie. I have a Passat G3:http://www.seawardkayaks.com/prodpro...idProduct=4130
I get out as much as possible, some dedicated fishing trips are on the agenda once the girlfriend gets more comfortable in it.

IndyCar: Kimball survives late-race battle, gets Top-5
Jun 29, 2014, 6:58 PM EDT
Teammates Simon Pagenaud and Mikhail Aleshin pulled away late in today's Race 2 of the Shell/Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston, but that didn't mean the conclusion was quiet.
For those jostling for position around the fourth, fifth, and sixth range, it was close-quarters combat around the narrow NRG Park street circuit. And Charlie Kimball was right in the middle of it.
Kimball, Jack Hawksworth, and Juan Pablo Montoya fought each other tooth-and-nail and with it came several close calls.
Eventually, Hawksworth was able to grab third place after Will Power suffered an apparent suspension failure that relegated him to a finish outside the Top 10.
As for Kimball, he held on for fourth place, which is his best result since finishing on the podium (third) in Race 2 of the first 2014 doubleheader in Detroit.
It was also a good recovery from yesterday's Race 1, which had Kimball collected by Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Scott Dixon in an incident at Turn 9.
"The Novo Nordisk team worked really hard last night to get the car fixed from yesterday's sort of incidental contact that took us out yesterday," Kimball told NBCSN.
"…It was pretty tough racing with Juan and the 98 car [Hawksworth] – I really enjoyed racing the 2 car [Montoya] – but at the end, to come home with a Top 5 and finish fourth, I'll take that for sure. It was wheel-to-wheel and then some."
As for dealing with the hot, humid conditions throughout the weekend in Houston, Kimball believed he held up well. He also hailed Houston race organizers for addressing the track issues that plagued their event last October.
"It was pretty hot – it's the humidity that really gets you," he said. "But overall, I feel really good…I'd be ready to go do it again tomorrow.
"We had a lot of fun. The track's rubbering in – a lot of credit to the Shell/Pennzoil [Grand Prix of Houston], they did a lot of work since last year and made the track really raceable and a lot of fun for us."

He's a real good racer, just wish he could raise his qualifying game. Wonder what he could do if his team got the same resources as the Target cars.
- testover6370 - Jun 30, 2014 at 1:44 PM
I sure want to see him in a Target car. He was heading for another win in Fontana last year before his engine let go and he's been the strongest of the CGR cars a number of times this season. He has what it takes.

I once asked a man who had tried to kill me. I had the chance to ask him because he finally became a sannyasin. I asked, "Now we are both alone, tell me why you wanted to kill me." In those days, at Woodlands in Bombay, I used to give sannyas to people alone in my room. I said, "We are alone. I can give you sannyas, there is no problem in it. First become a sannyasin, then tell me the purpose, why you wanted to kill me. If you can convince me I will stop breathing here and now in front of you."
He started weeping and crying and holding my feet. I said, "This won't do, you have to convince me of the purpose."
He said, "I was just an idiot. There is nothing I can say to you." Perhaps that is the reason why an absolutely harmless man like me has been attacked in every possible way. I have been given poison..
Just the other day someone came to me very worried because Gudia had said in a metaphorical way that "If Bhagwan dies I will be relieved."
Naturally the person was very disturbed. She told me, "Now I cannot even sleep, because Vivek is your caretaker, and she told me she would be relieved if you were dead! This is dangerous - she could poison you!"
I laughed and said, "Come to your senses! She must have been talking metaphorically. After being ten years with me anybody can become a philosopher; a little bit of metaphysics, and a little bit of a metaphor, that's all it is. You need not be worried. She would be the last person in the whole universe who could harm me. I could harm myself, but she would not.so don't be worried."
But I can understand her worry.
I said, "I understand, but don't be worried. Gudia goes through tantrums once in a while but even then she has not harmed me. She cannot, it is impossible for her. Yes," I said, "that is impossible."
Once in a while anybody can have a tantrum, particularly a woman; and more so if she has to live twenty-four hours a day, or maybe more, with a man like me, who is not nice at all; who is always hard, and always trying to push you to the very edge, and who does not allow you to come back. He goes on and on pushing and telling you to "Jump before you think!"
My Nani was certainly similar to Gudia, particularly when she was in a tantrum. I have seen her in a tantrum, but I was never worried. I have seen her pull her gun out and rush toward my grandfather's room. But I continued what I was doing. She asked me, "Are you not afraid?"
I said, "You go on and do your work and let me do mine."
She laughed, saying "You are a strange boy. I am going to kill your grandfather and you are trying to make a house out of playing cards. Are you mad or something?"
I said, "You just go and kill that old man. I have always dreamed of doing it myself, so why should I worry? Don't disturb me."

In response to:
Ditto the last line. And it is quite reasonable to add B. Hussein Obama to the insect list.
Please remember the real purpose of all bureaucracies: to enlarge and perpetuate itself. The function of fire departments, especially in Democrat-infested large metropolitan areas, is no longer to fight fire and save lives, but to enlarge a bloated union-protected bureaucracy, and to serve as a social engineering tool. It began years ago when the tests were dumbed down to allow blacks to pass, then points were gifted to minorities, to now the removal of requirements to pass physical agility tests rather than requiring the hiring of the best. So all the expectations had to be revised to compensate for the stupidity and physical weakness of the new force. Forget about entering a burning building; it's soon to be a thing of the distant past: too dangerous.
There will be no lawsuits. Since there is no statutory mandate for firemen to risk their lives to save anyone, the procedures have been changed so it is a risk-free job. No entering burning buildings, no heavy lifting, etc.

The description was accurate. Had a lovely time in Calicut staying in Mr.Jagan 's apartment.
Sujatha is always welcome to come back. She was a good guest.
it was ok
+ Great experience overall. A far better stay than most hotels in Calicut.
+ Jagan sent a lot of useful information about the apartment in advance and was very responsive when we had any questions.
+ The apartment is spacious, very nicely furnished, and very comfortable for 4 people.
+ Clear view of the ocean (as promised!) with some lovely sunsets
+ Jagan thoughtfully left us fresh fruit and coffee/tea for us to snack on
- The only small downside is the distance from shops/food places. We couldn't find anything that was walking distance (unless we just misread the directions Jagan sent us), which meant we needed to stock up on food from the supermarket or order in. If you take a cab/auto though, it will take less than ten minutes to get to the shops, so it's not a huge problem.
I'm glad Jagan stayed at my house. He is a nice guy and I'd love to have him as a guest again.
Jagan was a great guest. Would welcome him back again in a second!
Jagan was great guest!I unfortunately i was very busy and on very different schedules so i didn't get to spend much time getting to know them as people but they from what i do know.he is respectful,quiet and very kind guest.left my home very clean.Thanks a lot a and always welcome back.
Great guest- communicated all his questions and let me know when he was checking out. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Santa Monica!
Absolutely recommend hosting him. Great personality and easy-going!

A Provably Secure and Efficient Strong Designated Verifier Signature Scheme
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Strong designated verifier signature scheme could make it possible for a signer to convince only the designated verifier that the signature is made by the signer. In 2007, Lee et al. proposed a designated verifier signature scheme with message recovery, attaching target message with signature, to prevent any attack by eavesdropping. In this paper, the authors propose an efficient strong designated verifier signature scheme, using key distribution mechanism where both sender and designated receiver share encryption/decryption key to fulfill encryption/decryption algorithm with low cost of communication and computation: 30% and 50% of Lee et al. scheme, respectively.

What is the most important thing on your Christmas tree?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on December 23, 2007
"The angel on the top of our tree is a family heirloom. It was my great-grandmother's. In fact, we fight over who gets to have it on their tree every year. It's fun though, everyone gets to have it."
"There's this little rocking horse I made when I was in kindergarten with a bobble head and a little girl with pigtails on it."
"There's nothing too sentimental. I think the most important thing is the tree itself. It's a shame we don't keep them up all year to remind us to have that Christmas spirit all year round, not just on Dec. 25th."
"I guess it's the angel on top. We've had it for a very long time, and I collect angels anyway. It makes me feel like it's watching over everything."

The ornaments my daughter has made for us are the most special things on my tree - at my mom's house it's the ornaments my brother, sister, and I made that she still has after so many years - and the pictures of us with santa when we were little are fun since my dad always played the santa in our town and none of us ever figured out it was him.

It's so hard to choose... The razor blades and shards of glass provide a lovely dramatic effect as they cry out to be fondled. But, the electrified barbed-wire is a fun surprise for children and pets. The small bottles of liquor are inviting for everyone.
Ah, the simple joys of Christmas, bring such a warm feeling...or maybe it's the egg nog...either way.

i have two treasures i bring out every year. one isn't a tree ornament, but rather a "me" ornament; it's a little santa pin made by my youngest angel when she was only 7 or 8 years old! santa made from a cinnamon stick! :) and the other is a tree ornament dated 1982; an ornament that has my oldest two angel's pictures on it from when they were wee ones.

The family handmade ornaments. This year we added LED lighting which puts off some very beautiful light and the bulbs do not get hot....barely warm is more like it. So there is a safer feeling and we are burning less energy.
Enjoy the Holidays!

I suppose there's no need for "significant" questions on Sunday, since most of the regular posters probably don't check OTS that day, but it surely seems to me like the questions are getting more and more "so what?" You can look through all the other headlines and think of a question for many of them that would be a bit thought-provoking. It is no wonder people like H_Lecter and others can't resist posting the things they do--mostly very facetious.
All the stuff on my tree means a lot to me, but no one else would really care what I liked on MY tree!

No Christmas tree this year. In most years, the most important thing on the tree tended to not be on the tree anymore. With four cats, its difficult to maintain a Christmas tree's ornamental integrity.

the most important thing is the star on the top it was my mothers when she was a child when i got married she handed it to me , its plastic blue and covered in alum foil , not the most pretty thing but it is something that i treasure , more now than ever my mom just passed away last month and when i look at that star it reminds me of her so much.

um...the branches?
jonas 7 years, 3 months ago
Sue: Ha! If going that route, though, I'd have to say that the trunk is more important than the branches. A Christmas trunk would still be pole-ish (polish?) and would at least stand straight. Branches without a trunk, though, would just be all over the ground. Or maybe a wreath, I guess.

You're right, R-I--I was thinking in terms of relatively trivial and personal decorations.
I always turn my tree on first thing in the morning before it is light and enjoy the magic of it. I have always known it had pagan origins, though I hadn't read that part in Jeremiah--thanks for that information!
I have tried to imagine what it COULD represent for me, as far as the Christmas story goes, and so I associate the spectacle of the bright lights in a darkened room with how the angels must have looked to the shepherds.

i wanted to offer a cyberhug to peaches also...my mama passed away in early november. thanksgiving was reeeaaallllyyyy emotional for me/us, as was my birthday in early december. sigh i just miss her so much, as i know you miss your mom and py as you miss your dad. py you're so right on-the wonderful sweet silly fun memories of mom get me through.

2 ornaments from my childhood - bought the year I was born - they will be handed down to my daughter. Also ornaments made by my children and grandchildren and my crystal icecycles.

I have a few that my parents passed down to me from Germany.. I also have a manger that is about 40 years old, and it was handmade in Germany as well. I also treasure all of the things my kids have made over the years too!

All of the ornaments are important or they wouldn't be on our tree.
canyon_wren 7 years, 3 months ago
I have two boxes of twelve ornaments (each) on my tree that we got in December 1961, the first Christmas after we were married. We bought them at Woolworth's in downtown Lawrence--99 cents for the large ones and 88 cents for the medium-sized ones. They are very precious to me. Lots of memories of lots of different trees in different places across the country, mixed in with my decorations.

The stand is the most important in my opinion.It keeps it from falling over.Otherwise i would have to lean it against the wall and that would be tacky.
