Antique Early American Pattern Glass
Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG), also known as pressed glass, was produced from roughly 1850 to 1910. Cheaper to manufacture than blown glass, this glassware was made in cast-iron molds and marketed as an economic alternative to hand-cut crystal. Manufacturers made a wide range of patterns in order to compete with each other, usually patenting their work. Despite these steps, competitors routinely copied patterns by making minor changes to them and varying the names of the patterns just enough to keep from being sued.
One of the most famous of the early manufacturers was McKee, which established itself making windows and bottles in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1836. By 1850, the company, which had numerous names in the 19th century, moved into flint glassware. By the 1860s, its patterns included Sprig, New Pressed Leaf, and Crystal. In 1889, the firm relocated to Jeannette, Pennsylvania.
Another famous Pittsburgh firm was Atterbury & Company, whose first patent came in 1874 for a pattern called Basket Weave. Others such as Lily (most collectors know it as Sunflower) followed, while one of Atterbury's most famous designs, for a covered dish in the shape of a duck, was patented in 1887.
Ohio was also a center of EAPG. For example, Heisey was founded in 1895 in Newark, producing pressed glassware that was so precise it looked like cut glass. Early on, the company was known for its colorless pressed glass tableware. In the first two decades of the 20th century, designer Arthur J. Sanford produced much of tableware for Heisey, a lot of it in the Colonial style, although some of its most memorable pieces came later during the Depression.
Also from Ohio was Fostoria, which was established in 1887 and was known for its almost sculptural patterns such as Bedford, Frisco, and Heavy Drape. Some of its earliest products, though, were kerosene lamps.
By the 1890s, the industry was ready for consolidation. That occurred in earnest in 1891, when the United States Glass Company was created out of the merger of 18 glass factories. These included some of the biggest names in the business, including Adams & Company and Bryce Brothers of Pittsburgh; Columbia Glass and Bellaire Goblet of Findlay, Ohio; and Hobbs Glass and Central Glass of Wheeling, West Virginia. One company that did not join the group was Northwood, which, in 1902, moved into the factory that had been vacated by Hobbs.
After World War I, pattern-glass manufacturers struggled as the real thing from Waterford and Baccarat, among other European manufacturers, became relatively inexpensive and plentiful in the United States. But when the Great Depression hit, Americans once again turned to pattern glass made by companies that today are associated with Depression glass, including Anchor Hocking, Cambridge, Jeannette, Imperial, Hazel-Atlas, Indiana Glass Company, and Macbeth-Evans.

By Ermanno Rivetti. Web onlyPublished online: 09 August 2012
The Torre dei Modenesi, a 13th-century clock tower destroyed in May by the two powerful earthquakes that rocked the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, has become a symbol of the damage done to the country's heritage. Teams of volunteers from across the country have now travelled to the small town of Finale Emilia to help salvage, collect and catalogue fragments of the 32 metre high tower, with a view to restoring it to its former glory.
This is a contrast to the situation in the similarly quake-damaged city of l'Aquila, Italy, where more than three years on residents have still not been allowed to return to their homes. Volunteers have so far sifted through around 7,000 fragments of the tower, from red terracotta bricks and pieces of the clock to parts of the bell itself. The fragments are being stored in pallets in the courtyards of local primary schools, and it is expected that they will be transferred to a warehouse for the winter, where they will be studied further.A spokesperson for the Direzione Regionale per i Beni Architettonici e Paesaggistici (the regional arm of Mibac, the Italian ministry of culture) has acknowledged the presence of civilian volunteers in Finale but has also stated that the official response teams are still evaluating the widespread damage to the region's heritage and are not specifically focusing on the tower at this time. He added, however, that where it is possible "our priority is to rebuild damaged sites with the original pieces".The volunteer operation has reportedly yielded some unexpected finds in the rubble, such as bricks inscribed with personal messages, spear- and arrowheads, remains of ancient ceramics, a 15th-century print of a crucifixion scene and even a brick containing a child's footprint. Finale's head of culture, Massimiliano Righini, has assured the Italian media that "we'll get it done; the tower will become a museum unto itself", although it is doubtful that it will be standing again in time to mark its 800th birthday in 2013. Once they complete the task, the volunteers have vowed to help repair the damage inflicted to the Castello delle Rocche (also in Finale). The medieval castle was mainly built in the 15th century, but some of it dates to the 13th century.

COLUMBIA, S.C. South Carolina Republicans want the states highest court to stop a recount of votes in Richland County.
The state party made the request to the Supreme Court on Friday, a day after a circuit judge ordered that ballots and voting machines in Richland County be guarded by state police while state election officials reviewed them.
County election officials had planned to certify election results Friday, but that process is on hold.
State Democrats had originally sought a recount of votes in a disputed legislative race. The recount was expanded county-wide several hours later.
A cascade of Election Day problems delayed the countys unofficial results until late Wednesday. Officials cited long voting lines, too few machines and broken counting scanners. Some voters reportedly waited up to six hours.

Well, there's La Napolera - I'm most familiar with the Hendricks Ave. location. I like it, but don't know how "authentic" it is - I know they have horchata on the menu, but I've never ordered any - I'm usually swilling a Dos Equis (hold the lime, please). Love their Tacos al Pastor, and the fish platter w/ shrimp is a favorite of the Mrs. Not a tex mex place - more mex mex, I would say.0

I got these for a Utility Trailer that would have very heavy somewhat sharp steel in it, it was new and I didn't want hunks of wood chipped out of the decking etc. I looked at several local then read on Internet and mfg. sent sample AFTER I had ordered. Seems to be a very heavy dense durable mat but it is new and hasn't had the test of time yet IF it stands that it is worth it. My ONLY complaint is that FROM the Manufacture the sides were not cut EXACTLY correct as I would expect. There is a SLIGHT mismatch when butting together..a little wave in some but not worth the trouble of sending it back. For their weight Overstock seems to be VERY reasonable and fast on shipping.

From the PublisherI highly recommend Physical Database Design by Lightstone, Teorey, and Nadeau. The book covers fine aspects of physical design -- issues such as the effects of different approaches to indexes, tradeoffs in materializing views, and details of physical data layout. Unlike other books, it does not focus on a particular product, but instead covers the deep principles that cut across products. The book addresses both transaction intensive applications (OLTP) as well as data warehouses (OLAP). Their new book is a welcome addition to the literature.
--Michael Blaha, OMT Associates, Inc.
This is an excellent book on physical database design, giving pragmatic models and advice. It has a wealth of information for both the student and for the practitioner -- presenting analytic models and practical tips that are demonstrated with examples using Oracle, DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server.
--Jim Gray, Microsoft Research

Parrot reveals enhanced AR.Drone sequel Bebop Drone
Following up on the original AR.Drone quadricopter and its modestly-tweaked sequel, Parrot has announced Bebop Drone ($TBD), a smaller and more expensive model planned to ship in the fourth quarter of 2014. Like the prior versions, Bebop Drone is significantly limited in flight time—approximately 12 minutes—but makes improvements to the stability and camera hardware to appeal to videographers.
Most notably, Bebop Drone replaces the prior AR.Drone front-facing camera with a 180-degree fisheye lens and 14-Megapixel image-stabilized sensor, using a software solution to grab only a 1080p portion of the ultra-wide lens's data. While this camera solution reduces the need to rotate Bebop Drone itself for panning shots, fisheye lenses are known for significant distortion, so it's unclear whether the image quality will be great or mediocre. Parrot claims that the 0.88-pound unit benefits from new inertia measurement hardware and camera shake compensation software, "to guarantee optimal stability of the quadricopter" during flight. Videos recorded using the Drone are saved by the copter itself, and can be transferred off after each flight is complete.
Bebop Drone can be controlled over Wi-Fi using a new FreeFlight 3.0 app for iOS, with four antennas supporting up to 802.11ac with 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and MIMO options. An optional Skycontroller accessory adds two physical joysticks, plus Wi-Fi-boosted 802.11a/b/g/n for a two-kilometer range. Parrot also promises support for the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, enabling users to view nearly-realtime footage from the camera while Bebop Drone is in flight. Prices have not been announced for the new products, but are expected to be significantly higher than the AR.Drones' $300 entry cost.

good value but there is 1 brush that I don't particularly use but good set!
Posted by Ant on 16th May 2014
This actually my first review. I think the Sigma brush set deserves it. Great set, great quality and durable. I totally believe that application is more so in the brushes than the product itself. Totally impressed with these brushes. Glad I bought the face set as well.

Good quality, fast shipping, good packaging
Posted by Miss Dee on 6th Apr 2014
These brushes as just great all the way around. The brush itself is fluffy but sturdy all at the same time allowing excellent placement of product on the eyes. The feel of the stem of the brush in your hand is wonderful, fits nicely between the fingers and moves easily during application. Each brush works amazingly well for the way it is supposed to be used. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever! Great job again, Sigma!

The private cloud: What it is (and isn't)
The private cloud is misunderstood. At this stage, vendors can be forgiven for not having a firm idea of what the private cloud is and how it can uniquely improve their processes. Too many service providers have branded legacy technologies as "cloud-based," warping buyers' expectations about what a private cloud actually is and should do. In some cases, what developers and testers get with these cloud-washed solutions are nothing more than heavily virtualized environments that offer little or none of the scalability, automation, self-service, and on-demand provisioning associated with cloud computing at-large.
As a result, organizations may think of the private cloud as simply a slight update to their internal IT systems, a fresh coat of paint on the same aging infrastructure that they have been looking to leave behind as new dynamic applications become more central to their businesses. They want a cloud platform that can enable more agile software lifecycles, with streamlined testing and abundant resources for developers, but these misconceptions may lead them to conclude that the public cloud is the only way to achieve these goals and facilitate quicker time-to-market, as well as higher programmer productivity.
The truth is that using a private cloud not only provides a productive dev/test environment, but also adds tangible advantages over running all workloads on public infrastructure. For starters, the unpredictable opex of using public cloud services can be replaced with fixed capex, mostly for high-end servers and appliances that provide the dedicated power for running tasks consistently. Accordingly, dev/test teams benefit from working in a single-tenant environment in which resources are rapidly and reliably provisioned and often come from appliances with superior specifications to public Infrastructure-as-a-Service machines.
Moreover, the private cloud boosts particular IT workflows, all while shielding these operations behind the company firewall. It provides high levels of security and control that make it ideal for safely developing and testing applications. Naturally, dev/test has been instrumental in shaping the private cloud's amenities for automation and self-service, along with the evolution of commercial solutions that leverage open source software to give teams maximum flexibility in configuring and customizing processes.
Some industry executives and observers have disputed the entire notion of the private cloud, arguing that it either has no agreed-upon definition or is already obsolete, but in reality its structures are readily discernible in data centers and on-premises systems that depend on it for these central IT, dev/test and quality assurance operations. These workflows all offer low-risk/high-reward opportunities for synthesizing the productive gains of cloud computing with dedicated hardware to obtain the best of both worlds.
While the private cloud has sometimes been cited for lacking the fundamental traits of cloud computing in general - on-demand service, scalability, self-provisioning and measurement - this argument only applies to virtualized environments that have been wrongly labeled. These depictions should not obscure the fact that private clouds are real, vital parts of IT infrastructure.
Why Do Testing and Development in a Private Cloud?
If development, and deployment of software, is a strategic everyday activity, then in most cases private clouds make sense. There is a common perception that controlling your IT destiny is complicated and expensive. But today, with highly evolved hardware and highly automated cloud platforms, operation of your own infrastructure is becoming easier and less expensive by the day.
Development and testing is a natural fit for cloud environments because superior access to resources leads to shorter wait times during critical processes (no more never-ending provisioning) and lower costs per unit tested. While these gains are theoretically attainable through any cloud platform, the private cloud provides distinctive advantages.
Start with infrastructure. Traditional testing environments are complicated to use and costly to maintain, taking up excessive space and consuming considerable power despite sitting idle for long periods of time. Firing up testing equipment every few months often leads to difficulty and frustration as teams try to ensure the consistency of all environments. Debugging times lengthen and application delivery is delayed.
Using a private cloud simplifies matters on both the hardware and software fronts. Testing resources can be set up and decommissioned as needed, obviating the need to keep instances running indefinitely on the public cloud. Private cloud virtualization enables compute, storage and networking to be scaled in accordance with application demands and a self-service Web portal can make this process easier. Some private cloud implementations connect to public infrastructure as needed, usually to provide additional automation, scalability or spillover, a phenomenon known as cloud bursting.
Still, would-be adopters may recoil at the perceived high cost of the private cloud, which is sometimes misleadingly set in stark contrast to the pay-as-you-go efficiency of the public cloud. In truth, improvements in hardware and public APIs have made the private cloud more affordable and reliable than ever before. It is no longer a cousin to the expensive, difficult-to-maintain systems that organizations once abandoned for the public cloud; rather, it is an increasingly vital component of modern IT, providing the security, control and performance needed for particular tasks, while also interacting with public platforms to open up a fuller range of services for developers and testers.
Using a Private Cloud Doesn't Mean Never Using the Public Cloud
The very term "private cloud" can be confusing, since it groups together a diverse range of infrastructure and software under one umbrella and sets them in opposition to remotely hosted services. This is a false dichotomy. Not all private clouds are equally capable, nor do they all share compatibility with public clouds as part of hybrid deployments, although the latter trait is becoming more common.
Accordingly, it makes sense to look at the private cloud on a case-by-case basis and assess them as tools and platforms for dev/test. Many of them can easily coexist with both legacy technologies and public cloud platforms to create an ideal environment for software development and deployment.
Public cloud providers have certainly taken note, with several of them modifying their services so that enterprise customers can, for example, feed information into big data tools from on-premises databases or other platforms. These moves speak to the ongoing demand for private clouds that not only have the most apparent amenities - security, dedicated hardware - but also offer highly efficient ways to handle workloads in different way depending on their requirements and on how they evolve.
More specifically, the private cloud is one way to reduce costs and still maintain advanced continuous integration. With the right combination of software and hardware, a private deployment enables excellent handling of servers and automation, as well as the use of plugins that can launch worker nodes on a public cloud for extra capacity. While organizations vary by the number of connections they make between in-house systems and the public cloud, the power of the private cloud is that it is flexible enough to address a wide range of use cases by applying cloud computing principles to key processes.
As such, the private cloud can be an important part of a hybrid deployment, with capabilities that support certain workflows in ways that the public cloud cannot. Resources can be provisioned quickly, leading to faster time to market. Dev/test can be run at low cost on the private cloud, with the workload shifted unchanged to a public cloud for production. Far from being an expensive relic or the antithesis of convenient self-service cloud computing, the private cloud, as well as the hybrid setups it may be part of, is a powerful platform for producing, testing and deploying software, and one that is often equipped with public APIs for additional versatility.
Startups and Service Providers Are Among Many Organizations with Private Clouds
How does the private cloud look in action? Organizations across many verticals have set up private clouds to make software deployment easy and economical. Private cloud is most readily associated with handling sensitive data for heavily regulated industries such as finance and healthcare, but its use cases are actually varied and particularly relevant for programmers.
It is common for startups to go with the public cloud to get what seems like the point-and-click convenience of unlimited resources. After a while, however, many of these companies realize that they can obtain better speeds on their own dedicated hardware, with the added benefits of better privacy and security compared to public cloud. Despite its rapid evolution, the public cloud is still very opaque, and users may get into situations in which they are overly reliant on average machines with specifications that cannot be adjusted. A private or hybrid cloud is a great way to get the infrastructure that the organization needs in order to reliably run workloads and get the most out of their investments.
While cost and security typically dominate any conversation about the private cloud, organizations should realize that it actually confers many more nuanced benefits, particularly for developers. Savings and data protection are critical, but a productive, transparent and highly configurable dev/test environment sets companies that use the private cloud up for long-term success in an increasingly complex cloud landscape.

Individual experiences will vary greatly, depending on what the service member did, where they did it, and when- great deal of variation along the timeline of the war.
As in all wars, WHY a war began is political, not military. Following WW 2, and getting the Japanese out of the French colony of Indochina (what they called Vietnam then) there were to be elections on a government. Results of the elction were contested, with the resultant division of the country into North/ South.
Equipment will depend again on duty assignments. For Infantry, early on the basic rifle was the M14, later replaced with the M16, and the M79 Grenade Launcher. The M60 Machine Gun (look at the statues at the Vietnam Memorial to see an M60) were used down at platoon level, and 60mm/ 81mm mortars, along with a lot of 105/ 155mm artillery.
Strategically, the war was flawed by the lack of a clearcut overall goal. In WW 2, there was a goal- go after Japan, go after Germany, go after Italy. Destroy their ability to wage war. That was missing in Vietnam. The military was being used by politicians to "send a message".
There are entire bookcases on the subject, not possible to give a simple answer here. Would urge you to look at the men (and women) that were there. Do some research on the Vietnam Memorial- average age, youngest, oldest, average time the deceased had been in Vietnam, branch of service, etc.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Oh yeah , the M-60 machine gun , A two man gun at least , one to carry the ammo and one to man the the gun ! It could take the tread off a tank+ armor piercing..EeeeK. !
Hoo Yaul..! Don't like my rendition Uhh.? Walk in these shoes..! Bay of Tonkin ,

The jabs land without warning.
Sometimes Joe Abeln delivers one, reminding a Lehigh teammate of the success his Parkland baseball teams enjoyed in high school. Sometimes he receives a barb, with a former foe turned friend bringing up a fruitless at-bat in a key spot.
"It will come up randomly," Abeln said Tuesday while on a bus ride to Coppin State with the Mountain Hawks. "There's guys from Liberty and Emmaus. Those were always huge high school rivalries.
"It might not be often. But it's fun. Those stories, we'll remember those even 10 years after this."
For Abeln, this is his senior season at Lehigh and a last chance to reach the Patriot League tournament. The Mountain Hawks can wrap up a spot in the four-team league tourney by splitting their final four-game series of the season, which comes this weekend against rival Lafayette.
Abeln is one of eight regulars from Morning Call-area high schools in the Lehigh lineup. The Mountain Hawks have a total of 13 players from local high schools, with 11 players coming from the Lehigh Valley Conference.
Lehigh coach Sean Leary has often mined the area for talent, including current Colorado Rockies farmhand and Liberty grad Matt McBride. He can't recall ever having a team so dependent on local players.
"Being from the area has certainly helped," Leary said. "A lot of the high school coaches are from my peer group I was playing with and against. Having that relationship with the coaches has been important. McBride and [Notre Dame-Green Pond graduate Kyle] Collina, that group had so much success. We seemed to have had pretty strong momentum just gathering the top kids to take a look at Lehigh."
Leary has made a point of pursuing versatile athletes when recruiting in the Lehigh Valley. It has served the Mountain Hawks (20-19 overall, 7-8 Patriot League) well this season.
The Lehigh outfield features four players — Abeln, Justin Pacchioli (Easton and Nazareth), Brandon Wilt (Emmaus) and Jacen Nalesnik (Lehighton) — who played catcher in high school. Abeln started this season catching but shifted to the outfield when Pacchioli, The Morning Call baseball player of the year in 2010 while an Easton junior, suffered an early-season hand injury.
Lehigh's infield includes two LVC high school shortstops who have shifted to other spots in the infield. Pat Donnelly (Liberty) is playing third base, while Mike Garzillo (Nazareth) is at second base. Garzillo was The Morning Call player of the year in 2011.
Central Catholic graduate Connor Faust, a high school third baseman, has moved to first base with Lehigh this year. With Faust at first, Tyler Brong (Liberty) has spent much of the year at designated hitter.
Brong and Abeln are two of Lehigh's three senior captains. Leary praised their selflessness for helping the Mountain Hawks succeed this season.
"So much happens on a four-game weekend and with a condensed schedule like we have," Leary said. "We have one injury come up, you have versatility of moving kids around.
"We try to recruit the best athletes and find a way to get the nine best guys out there. We have 3-4 shortstops on the roster, but only one gets to play there. It's something we spend a lot of time talking to kids about."
The area players aren't just taking spots on Lehigh's roster. Pacchioli (.341) and Garzillo (.319) are the team's top two average hitters.
Garzillo leads the Mountain Hawks in doubles, triples, walks, RBIs, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Abeln is hitting .299, fourth-best on the team, and has started all 39 games. Colin Gotzon (Liberty) has been the Mountain Hawks' No. 1 starter, going 3-1 with a 3.79 ERA.
Jordan Smith (Nazareth), Pat Walshe (Bethlehem Catholic), Brandon Kulp (Quakertown) and Matt Bonshak (Whitehall) complete the local contingent on Lehigh's roster. They haven't played as much as some of the other area players, but they all have a chance to celebrate a playoff berth together with one more good weekend.
"Especially since we haven't made it to playoffs in four years, we really want to do everything we can to get into the playoffs," Abeln said. "At this point, all you need to do is get in and anything can happen. You've just got to win two three-game series and you can win a championship."
Carpenter Cup tryouts: The first meeting for the 2014 Lehigh Valley Carpenter Cup baseball team will take place May 8 at 8:30 p.m. in DeSales University's Billera Hall.
The first two tryout dates are May 11 and 18 at DeSales. Pitcher, catcher and infielder tryouts will run from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., with outfield tryouts going from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
The 16-team, single-elimination Carpenter Cup tournament annually brings together some of the top high school baseball players from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Lehigh Valley will open this year's tournament June 12 against Burlington County (N.J.) at Ashburn Field in Philadelphia's FDR Park.
The Lehigh Valley team has reached the Carpenter Cup final in two of the last three years. It won the title in 2011 and lost in the final last year.
College corner: Moravian has clinched the top seed for the Landmark Conference tournament after going 14-4 in league play. The Greyhounds also earned the first national ranking in program history this week, coming in at No. 21 in the D3baseball.com/National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Top 25.
Moravian will open the Landmark Conference tournament May 3 at home against the No. 4 seed.
•Junior infielder Dylan Tice (Pennridge) has been the best offensive player at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He entered Wednesday having started all 37 games for the Crimson Hawks and led them in batting average (.367), RBIs (17), hits (40) and on-base percentage (.474).
Twitter @mcall_smiller
High school player of the week
Zak Gagnon
No one from the area had beaten Parkland when Freedom hit the road Tuesday.
Patriots junior Zak Gagnon helped change that.
Gagnon limited the Trojans to two runs (one earned) while throwing all seven innings in Freedom's 3-2 victory. He walked two and struck out three.
Gagnon also went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs.
"Zak pitched a great game for us and picked his team up," Freedom coach Nick D'Amico said. "We had a few guys out and needed some players to step up, and he was able to do that for us. He was able to work ahead in the count and trust his defense, and the defense made the plays. It was a great overall win for the team."
Gagnon went into Wednesday hitting .353 with five doubles and seven RBIs. He also had a 2.44 ERA in 23 innings pitched.
College player of the week
Casey Cooperman
Bloomsburg gave Casey Cooperman the baseball in a crucial PSAC East Division game Friday.
As he has most of this season, he finished what he started.
Cooperman, a Parkland graduate, limited East Stroudsburg University to five hits while throwing his second shutout of the season in a 1-0 road win. It was the sixth straight complete game and seventh overall fired by the senior right-hander this season.
Cooperman is 5-4 with a 1.67 ERA, including a 0.90 ERA in PSAC East Division games. He also began Wednesday leading the PSAC in innings pitched with 70.
Cooperman heads into Bloomsburg's final league weekend of the season with 2281/3 career innings pitched, just behind Bloomsburg's all-time record of 235 set by J.P. Thomas (1988-91). Cooperman also is tied for third on Bloomsburg's all-time list with 14 complete games and 16 wins.

Nanotech Brings Cheap Flat TVs From Diamond Dust 193

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
It's been a long day, so I know I must be missing something
http://www.syslog.org/ [syslog.org]
That's very insightful.
The only wildcard is if these blokes in Britain have figured out how to make a gozillion* itty-bitty diamonds all grow exactly the same. My guess is they haven't, but they'll take the venture money to prove you can't.
* For those of you in Great Britain, a gozillion is a thousand gajillion
The gems are expensive but the dust is relatively cheap. I've used the dust as an abrasive and really have ended up with diamonds on the soles of my shoes.Combining nanotech (expensive) with diamonds (expensive) yields cheap monitors?
Diamonds... That'll shut her up... For a minute at least.
http://www.syslog.org/ [syslog.org]
Looks like they are using Diamond Like Carbon quite often... so its a quasi-zinc-blend structure apparently.
With field emission they are generating electrons so somehow the electrons get enough energy to reach the vacuum level. I wonder how efficient this is since diamond's bandgap is something like 5.5 eV.
I always thought his earlier book The Snow That Crashed was better.
Riddle me that, Ziggy.

Perhaps we could do something similar with "space settlement" and just sort of forget that 1973 was the year that western civilization turned away from its destiny in space and began threatning the planet with globalist growth.
That should make everyone feel better too.
Hey! I've got an idea? How 'bout we make a car that runs on macadamia nuts and bald eagle heads!
My operative words are: It doesn't exist now. It may never exist. If it does exist someday it may not be cheap, or good, or available in quantity.
Nothing to get excited about yet.

Mix for Hosta - large volume
I'm looking for ideas for what to use for growing Hosta in containers. I need to have something that will stay in the containers without having to put a screen in the pot.
I want to keep it some what inexpensive, but even more importantly, for the volume I need it is too time consuming to have to screen materials. Couple hundred 1 gallon+ pots.
Do you think something like a 70-80% pine bark mulch with the rest peat might work?
What is in commercial soils like miracle grow that give it structure so it does easily wash out of drain holes? Is that just the peat?
I picked up a good tip for cheap and easy screens from someone in this forum awhile back, I forget who. They suggested fiberglass drywall tape. It is quick and cheap.
Just a thought if you want to try to stick with your normal soil.
I use these 'screens' even in bark based mixes and in the gritty mix. You might want to give it a look - you can do hundreds of pots with a $4 roll of the tape. It takes 1 snip, place it, fill it, done. Literally 2 seconds per pot.
You're probably not going to find anything a whole lot cheaper than something close to the 5:1:1 mix, unless you base your mix on something free.
If you're using nursery cans, you'll probably get a lot of wash out through the drain holes if you use a peaty mix, unless you partially bury the cans.
Thanks redshirtcat, I do have rolls of that around, I'll have to give it a try. I just didn't want to be having customers get pots with big pieces of screen in the bottom.
Hi Al;
I'll have to get some pictures posted. You probably remember that we moved many of our house plants to your mix later last year. We also started using foliage pro. The vast majority of plants did exceptionally well over the winter.
In the mix we made last year, we used turface in it, which made it a little more expensive. I stopped at the local hardware store and found some small western bark mulch for $5 a bag. It looks far superior to the best bark mulch I found last year. It is very consistent in size and doesn't appear to have have much in the way of fines in the bag. I don't think it will need to be screened. I'll get some pictures of this bark mulch and post.

Ah.... lembrei da minha infância, num dia em que eu comecei a jogar Mario Paint. E depois que eu conheci o compositor do jogo... nossa! eu num parei de criar músicas!!! me dava vontade de ficar o dia inteiro brincando ali...... hehehehe!!!

I never liked Mario Paint music to begin with, and frankly, this was just plain badly done. Once again, I have to listen to a fucking MIDI RIP!!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Oy Levus! Good work as always ^_^
I don't need to describe how epic this is, and how much more skill you have on Mario Paint compared to me. I enjoyed it.
By the way. POKE. ^_-
