I think that's a rivet gun, not a hand drill.
Thanks! For now, we're gathering the suggestions and corrections, but holding off on making changes until more comments come in.
Definitely a drill - note electric cable and the actual bit between the open fingers.
This looks more like a training jig where a "bad" rivet is drilled out and replaced. Rarely is work so convenient..
I'm pretty sure it's Pnuematic, (air pressure) I used virtually the same thing when I was a mechanic for the Israeli Air Force working on F-16a/b's
While a drill bit may be installed, I believe it is used as a screwdriver here. Screws are used in panels which would need to be opened frequently for repairs.
Also - you should link to the other image of this woman here: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2179038448/in/s...
This is more of a snapshot that gives the woman's identity; the other photo is more of a work of art. Both are gorgeous.
I her smile here, and the fact that she is doing something positive for the world.
Absolutely beautiful and empowering. Interesting to compare to a more popular image. I wish more photos like this were shown in the classroom.
This is a very inspiring photo because is shows the equality job opportunities for women regards of their gender. This photo shows the resilience of women to fight for equal job opportunities as men and that women have the capability to do the same jobs as men. I really like this photo.
Hamsta180, I think it is electrical. Look at the protective boot for the electrical cable right below the drill. Also, air powered machines normally have a quick disconnect on the hose-machine link and the hose should be larger O.D.
Just my 2 cents.
The quick disconnect is on the other side of the tube, which can be seen as the air hose rises behind her.
Here's a photo of another riveter, this one with a quick disconnect at the tool, which has a hose with a similar diameter.
Hamsta180, I cannot agree. The hose on the machine which you provide the link is much larger, and that is, an air hose.
But the discussion lead to a very nice picture that is the benefit :)
Its electric - the vents in the housing are for cooling the electric motor, typically a small fan on the end of the motor shaft behind those vents.
She is likely drilling - counter-sinking the holes for flush rivets. Although there are rivet driver attachments for drills, in a factory setting they would probably have used an air-driven rivet hammer tool.
I went back and forth on it because you were right about the size of the cord etc. Its only because the air hose in the background looks red, and the chord at the drill looks black that I changed my mind.
These old windings from WWII had a specific smell when operated, coupled with the Bakelite. Then the Japaneese came on the market with a different plastic smell, and now the Chineese machines...
They all smell different because of the base materials !

Pictures of tall red Absyinnian banana, zone 4
I've been amazed this year on how tall one of my Absyinnian bananas has grown. Others have been OK, but one has really sky-rocketed for some reason. The following pictures were taken a month ago. It is much taller now.
The big one I happened to keep upstairs in the light and heat during the winter, so it kept on growing, although it lost most of it's leaves to spider mites. When I transplanted it outside in May, it had maybe three leaves at most, but sure took off once it had full sunlight. Since I took this picture, it has grown another two feet and has a few more leaves. I've never seen any pups from these. I believe they are always grown from seed.
Willy1der, I did the same thing with the banana in the picture. Luckily, I have an A-frame house with a vaulted ceiling that is as least 30 feet high. It is a monster in my living room! It stands 10 1/2 feet high from the floor. If you wish to overwinter it in your living room, you can always cut it back to a 3-4 foot stem, and let it start over with leaves, or cut it back and store it in your basement in an unheated, unlit room and it should stay dormant until Spring. If you do this, you should only water it maybe once in the middle of winter, otherwise the roots could rot. This plant does well storing water in its stem and roots without additional watering while it is dormant. Good luck!
Dave, beautiful plant! Yours must be a little more protected from the wind than mine. Yes, it looks like it's the same size as mine. Of course, yours gets warm temperatures at night and humidity, which mine does not get outside in the summer. I'm sure this helps it look so good.
We don't get a whole lot of wind in summer, except for occasional storms. But this one is in a somewhat sheltered location. It didn't grow as much in height as I suspected it might. But it did grow a lot in girth. It's in nearly full sun.
Basjoos grew taller. Those are basjoos on the left, so-called 'Dwarf Cavendish on the right! Black Magic EEs are about 7 feet; Lime Zingers are about 5 feet.
Hi Eric. I bought all of these Abysinnian banana as small 6 inch plants at a local nursery. This red variety (maurelii) cannot be propogated by seed, so they must be purchased as plants. You might ask your local nurseries if they can order these plants in for you. By the way, the plant in the first picture is now indoors. It has grown to about 15' tall now. I will replant it outdoors again in the Spring. Here is a picture I took of it today.
v1rtu0s1ty, I plant them outside sometime mid May, after danger of frost is past in zone 4. Yes, I remove them from their pots, and stake them until they are established. I plant them at the same ground level as they were in their pots. They seem to get established outside without too much difficulty. I fertilized them well and water them well about once per week by sprinkler, since we don't get much rain during the summer months.
Steve, you bought one 18' tall? Wow. It should get 30 feet tall, in that case. My tallest one inside is about 22 to 25 feet tall, and is too big and tall to move outside. I chopped off all of the leaves on the other ones and transplanted them outside, but not my big one! Here's a picture I just took of it. It's a little blurry since it's at night time, but you can see the size of this thing. It could kill someone if it toppled over!
bamatufa, there are two typical varieties of ensete, the regular green variety that you can grow from seed (I have purchased them from Park seeds and planted with sucess), or the Maurelii variety which is the reddish leafed variety, and is only progagated from tissue cloning.
You can get a ton of pups from the Maurelii variety. It requires cutting the pstem all the way down. Once cut down, you hack it up. Lots of pups will pop up where the pstem used to be. Here's a link at bananas.org that explains it better than I do.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ensete Maurelii creating pups

⬅ Return to Project Liberty Takes on Indigent Defense
May 20th, 2014 at 1:30pm
How can it be completely failed? My friend used to be one in his first year as an attorney and he graduated from a prestigious law school. He claimed that the pay wasn't as good so none of the truly competent people want to continue doing it.
So why don't they pay them more? I'd rather pay for that than a longer-than-14-year appeals process for most Death Penalty cases. Why in the world do you need more than 14 whole years to appeal a capital crime?
The guy I knew who was a Capital Offenses attorney said that the legal fees for Appealing the case were what was making it so costly, and I had no trouble believing it. He said that some states have applied a 14-year limit to the process but Arizona wasn't one of them. Arizona, where I was then, has the dumbest appeals process for Death Penalty that I ever heard. They wait 3 years and then review the entire case again to decide if it still qualifies as Capital punishment and if it's the right person. Then they go back to prison for 3 MORE years and do the whole thing over. One person had done this 6 times and were still doing the process. I thought it sounded totally stupid and I'm FOR capital punishment. It sounded like way too much rigamarole.

Product description
The Apache attack helicopter is the British Army's most awesome weapons system. Deployed for the first time in Afghanistan, it has already passed into legend. The only thing more incredible than the Apache itself are the pilots that fly her. For the first time, Apache Dawn tells their story - and their baptism of fire in the unforgiving battle of Helmand province. Their call-sign was 'Ugly' - and there was no better word for the gruelling 100-day deployment they endured. Day after day, four of the Army Air Corps' finest pilots flew right into the heart of the battle, testing their aircraft to the very limit. Apache Dawn takes the reader with them on a series of unrelenting and brutally intense combat missions, from daring, edge-of-the-seat rescues to dramatic close-air support in the white heat of battle. Bestselling author Damien Lewis has been given unprecedented access to these heroic aircrews and to the men on the ground whose lives they saved. It is an astounding story of bravery, skill and resilience in the face of unbelievable odds. And it is the story of the Apache itself - the ultimate fighting machine.

Change it asap. Vented gasses at that point are highly explosive and corrosion from the acid will start to attack near components.

Make sure battery is properly secured and the hold down bracket is in place. Perhaps that is the reason the battery casing cracked.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Following the worst offensive performance in franchise history, the Jacksonville Jaguars are back where the spent much of last season.
Inept Jaguars fall to bottom of NFL in offense
Last in the league in total yards.
The punchless Jaguars (0-2) were downright awful in a 27-7 loss to AFC South rival Houston on Sunday, punting nine times in 12 possessions and failing to convert a single third down.
Jacksonville finished with 117 total yards, breaking the previous mark (126) set against the Texans in 2004.
"I'm not going to let the one game dictate and really define us as who we are," coach Mike Mularkey said Monday. "I told them that no matter how you feel, there's a lot of good still going on just like we felt when we came into the season. I still feel that way. I think they do, too. I'm hoping that one game doesn't curb their mind like it does some of yours. I'm going to do my best to make sure it doesn't."
The Jaguars did get some positive news Monday.
Quarterback Blaine Gabbert is expected to play Sunday at Indianapolis after leaving the game with a glute injury.
Tests Monday revealed no significant damage, although Mularkey said Gabbert probably will be limited in practice Wednesday.
Gabbert completed 7 of 19 passes for 53 yards, with a touchdown and no interceptions. He was sacked three times. He injured his glute in the first half, but played into the fourth quarter before giving way to Chad Henne.
"I think it's going to be something that's going to get better each day," Mularkey said. "He'll be stiff and he will loosen up each day."
Jacksonville might want to loosen up the offense, too.
Sure, the Jaguars were facing one of the league's best defenses. And while they played without two starting offensive linemen, they know 117 total yards isn't going to get it done.
Players and coaches believe they can turn things around with a win against the Colts.
"We're not the first NFL team to start 0-2," guard Uche Nwaneri said. "We've got to get back to work to refocus ourselves and put this behind us. But obviously we're not happy with this, but there's nothing we can do about that now."

Fashion's Night Out in Boulder
Friday, September 9, 2011 | 4 years ago
Photographer Dave Ingraham strays from the runway in this gallery of photos shot on Thursday, September 8, 2011 on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, mixing the fashion-forward Boulderites with everyday pedestrians, tattooed denizens and the high-class. Fashion's Night Out started in 2009 in New York as a consumer-facing show to get shoppers to support fashion in tough economic times. It's since been adopted in cities across the country.

Finally the snow and the wind let up enough to try out one of the MNs I got from AIM a month ago. It was 19 degrees with 5-10 mph breez over my right shoulder. Snow was about a foot deep with a crust of ice on top not thick enough to support my weight. walking was pretty labor intensive. but I put targets up at 25, 50, and 100 yards.Attachment 25433
This was @ 25. 1-1/2 Bull. The 2 on the right were my first down the tube, The one in the bull was after moving the front sight to the right. Time to move to 50 yds.Attachment 25434
The 3 farthest right were the first at 50 yds. 3 inch Bull. The three on the left were after moving the front sight right again.The 2 closest to center were after moving the sight back to the left a scoush. Time for 100 yd.Attachment 25436
At 100 yds the 3 inch bull was invisible. I was aiming at center paper. The top 3 were the first at 100 yds and the bottom 3 I changed my sight picture.
OK, Toes are frozen, nose is running, time to go to the house.
I'm not at all disappointed, This was much better than the last 2 mosins I bought but it is probably because of the ATI stock which I really am not in love with after spending at least 1 hour fitting to get the action to fit snugly and another hour removing stock material so the interupter would let me load without forcing the rounds into the magazine. I've since floated the barrel. It may or may not shoot better now. It more than likely shoots better than I do any way.

Looks like a good shooter ya have there. Night even get better after it warms up some!
People get the government they deserve.
That will do the job. Now go get yourself a cup of hot chocolate or a warm adult beverage.
A foot of snow, 19 degrees, and a Moisin that was saying "I must be back home again!"
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Now all I have to do is decide whether to do a Gunsmithing mod and bend the bolt and scope it. If I do and it is successful I'll have to cut and recrown the barrel and put a real stock on it. All on a limited budget, but it does reduce the need for another gun fix. I do find myself becomming somewhat of a purist when it comes to milsurps, I guess this would be a sign of a split personality!
Not sure where you're located but you're certainly a shooter after my own heart. When a guy's gotta shoot, a guy's gotta shoot!

March 27, 2015
An infant boy's body was found Saturday under the skirting of a mobile home off Frances Street. That's near the Aiken-Edgefield County line in North Augusta.
The autopsy reports came back Monday, June 26, and at time of writing they were inconclusive; investigators were still trying to figure out whether or not the baby was alive when he was born.
The call came in from Tomecca Jackson's father on Saturday afternoon around three o'clock.
Investigators say he was trying to fix the air conditioner at the home, and that's when he came across a horrific discovery.
Cpl. Robbie Harter, public information officer for the Edgefield County Sheriff's Department, tells News 12, "He [Jackson's father] was working under the house and found a black garbage bag, and opened it up and found what he thought were human remains."
Investigators say the body had been there since early April.
The coroner tells News 12 he believes the mother, 22-year-old Tomecca Jackson, had the baby at the home when no one was there. Then, when she realized the baby was not breathing, she got scared no one would believe her, so she hid the baby in a garbage bag under the house.
Jackson's bond hearing will be Tuesday, June 27.
Right now she's being held at the Edgefield County Jail on felony charges of destruction or desecration of human remains.
More charges are pending once the toxicology reports are in. Investigators tell News 12 that if it is proven through the toxicology reports that there were signs of life when the boy was born, Jackson could be indicted on manslaughter charges.

Yes, but we can't remain limited to those players....infact creating a negative image will close a lots of avenue for BPL. Not only players,... Even sponsors don't like to get affiliated to something with negative image... And players costs increase due to negative image and sponsor money reduces.... Bhai, it's an attack on multiple layers to stop bpl growing as a big league ...not so simple as getting the players who has been paid will come back... Getting player will never be much problem..it's the quality players...and most importantly money from the sponsors...
Well let's see, it may have an immediate effect, but if bcb is strong enough and sincere in coming years, I think Tim May ang gong will ultimately accept defeat. Don't give a chance to create any chaos...can bcb run it so efficiently..?? Let's see.

What are the actual shade dimensions? I've read elsewhere this is a drum shade with fabric. What type of fabric? What type of crystals? Reflect the light? Prismatic? Do the butterfly cut outs and/or the crystals create shadows on the walls or ceiling? There is a grey chandelier with daisy cut outs that reflect those patterns on the wall. Does this do the same with the butterflies? Is there an inner lining? If so does it cover up the open cut outs? Thanks for always answering my questions. :)
I bought this for my dining room, had it installed and absolutely love it! My family loves it too and one sister wants to order one. Could not be happier with this purchase. Easy to install and easily put together. Instructions were great. This was the second shipment as the first light was damaged (manufacturing problem). The entire order was replaced at no charge (all I needed was a new shade) and customer service was great keeping me informed of what was going on with the replacement. I donated the damaged light to an organization that helps families with housing needs. Wonderful light, wonderful customer service!...

Questions & Answers
Thank you for your question and I am so sorry for the delayed response. This is a drum shade with an 18-inch bottom and a 16-inch diameter at the top, with a 10-inch height. Unfortunately, we don't have the exact fabric type, only that it is red fabric. There is no marking on the crystal, but they typically use Stravorski. The crystal looks good and they do reflect the light and sparkle. The butterfly cut outs do create a very slight shadow on the wall two feet away. The cuts are micro cuts, so you can't really see in or out through the cuts, but there is no inner lining. I hope this answers your questions and I sincerely apologize for the long delay.
what ia the actual height of the shade. and does it have a gold inner lining
you can change the height and drop it down as much as you like. I placed it in bedroom, and made it high, using only couple of the chains. inside is silver. Shade is velvet like material, butterfly figures almost removable to help reflect the light. 6 light bulbs can go as high as 60, I only put 25 in each to give a soft feeling. it is very nice
Can this light be plugged into an outlet or is it hardwired only?
This item can not be plugged into an outlet. This item does need to be hard wired.

A chandelier that is not right for your space can seem weighed down and heavy. The wrong chandelier can also lack drama that helps make a room fabulous.

The company has unveiled three new smartphones — the 600, 700 and 701 models — powered by its updated Belle Symbian OS, which brings NFC pairing and sharing, among other features
Samsung has added four new handsets to its Galaxy range of smartphones, all of which run the Android 2.3 operating system. In the process, it also overhauled its naming system

Ditch the green bean casserole for a dish of sweet and savory contradictions — this side features apricot jam and smoky bacon.
Total Time: 0:20
Prep: 0:20
Level: Easy
Serves: 8
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- 2 lb. green beans
- 6 slice bacon
- 0.25 c. olive oil
- 4 clove garlic
- 0.25 c. apricot jam
- 3 tbsp. white wine vinegar
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt, then the green beans, and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes; transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Let cool, then break into pieces.
- Wipe out the skillet and heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic begins to brown, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the jam, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add the green beans and toss to coat. Fold in the bacon.
