Unfortunately Galco M5X Matrix Right Hand Belt Holster for H&K USP .45 is no longer carried by OpticsPlanet.
You can also explore other items in the Leather Holsters, Belt Holsters categories yourself to try and find the perfect replacement for you!
Galco M5X Matrix Belt Holster for H&K USP .45 M5X292 is light on your wallet and light on your body as well. The M5X paddle holster is a versatile addition to the Galco Matrix line of thermoplastic holsters. The durable, injection-molded Matrix line is lightweight, comfortable, and nearly maintenance free while remaining fast in action, concealable, and easy on the budget! Like all paddle holsters by Galco, the Galco M5X Matrix Holster for H&K USP .45 locks solidly on the belt while still remaining easy to attach and remove. The M5X securely positions the handgun at the beltline with a moderate butt-forward angle, enhancing concealability yet maintaining ease and speed of draw.

Five Ten Impact VXi Shoe
"Shame to call them impacts "
The Good: The only good I see in these shoes is their water resistance.
The Bad: everything else.Overall Review: I bought these shoes last summer before I went to whistler because my old impacts where done. I rode them once at north star, a few times in mt hood on the way to whistler and then in whistler for a week or so. I was initially impressed by their grip and feel. They worked as well as any other 510 I have ever used and where noticeably lighter. While riding in the northwest, I got the opportunity to test the weather proofing on them which was actually pretty good. Riding in the mud and rain my feet never really got wet, which was really nice. I really hate riding with wet feet/socks. This was something that the Read More »
2015 Specialized Enduro Comp 650b BikeFeatured Review
"Specialized Enduro 650b Comp"
The Good: good geo for aggressive riding, wide rims, good value
The Bad: no XL size, no dropper postOverall Review: Afterridingthe enduro 29er for about a year, I decided to swap it out for the newer, slightly smaller wheel-sized iteration of the bike in the middle of summer last year. Although I was content with my current rig,I saw that the numbers on the bike were a little bit closer to what I was looking for so I took the plunge.I opted for the lowest level model and have found it to be a great all around ripper. Simply put, this bike is a lot of fun to ride. Compared to the 29er, the650b version doesn't quite have that monster-truck-over-the-rough feel to it, yet for me it surpasses the29er on the techy maneuvers and on Read More »
2015 Canyon Strive CF 9.0 RaceVital Review
"2015 Test Sessions: Canyon Strive CF 9.0 Race"
Troy Lee Designs Air GlovesFeatured Review
"My go-to gloves"
The Good: no bulky padding or seams in the wrong place, has the motto "pop wheelies" on it
The Bad: tight wrist enclosure, grippers came off too soonOverall Review: I've been through a bunch of gloves over the years and so far theserise to the top as my favorites. I am now on my secondset ofthese gloves,after recentlypicking up anewpair when looking to bump upmy onlineshopping cart to free shipping status. Many gloves have rubber grippers on the fingers but the TLD air gloves have expanded that concept and have added some tothe palm area as well. This makes your hands feel like they are glued to the bar, especially if you have a fresh set of grips. A downside is thatthe rubber grippers on fingers started to come off sooner than I had hoped (after about6 ridesthey began peeling Read More »

"Tested: Lezyne Mega Drive"
2015 Commencal Meta AM V4 Race 650bVital Review
"Tested: Commencal Meta AM V4"
2015 GT Fury 27.5 World Cup Bike
"The World Cup DH Bikes for the reasonsble price"
The Good: The Head Set angle is really slack, makes you more confident to step down stiff terrain. The Center on Rider (COR) simply put you in the centre of the bike, eventhough you forgot to get your upper body to back when you hit drops or jumps (as long as you dont sit on the saddle). The suspension kits may not be as light as Sram components, but they give you the more balance on the track. With the correct size choising, you will get the more space om cabin area, gives you clearer views.
The Bad: The all Shimano Saint group sets are slighly heavier than other brands (sram etc). And also the wheel sets. You may need to focus your modification on those 2 sectors, and you may not want to use shimano Saint pedals in order to reduce weights. Deity pedals work jus fine.Overall Review: The best world cup downhill bike in reasonable price.

Recs for a pull-out or pull-down faucet with a wide/far reach?
Madeline616November 25, 2013
X-posting in Kitchens.
The hose on my Hansgrohe pull-out faucet just sprung a leak in time for Thanksgiving :((
I love the faucet b/c it has a 10" spout reach, but I'm not going ot be able to get another one as quickly as I need to.
Can anyone recommend a devent pull-out or pull-down kitchen faucet with a large reach? Like in the 9.5"-10.5" range?
I have this pull down prerinse faucet and love it. It has great pressure and functions smoothly. Very similar in style and function to a restaurant sprayer faucet.
Here's one place to get it:
I believe the Delta Addison has a 10 inch reach.

Probably the most complex artist within the Dada and Surrealist movements, Max Ernst (1891-1976) was certainly one of the most important modern European artists. He created techniques that went, in his own words, 'beyond painting', reflecting his emphasis on art as a process of enquiry. His collages and canvases explored the fantastic world of the unconscious, creating a 'psychological biography' that gave viewers new mental and artistic perspectives. A fascinating selection of his enigmatic and haunting images are reproduced here, analysed in detailed captions.For this edition of Ian Turpin's introduction to the life and work of Max Ernst, art historian Julian Stallabrass has written extensive commentaries on each colour plate, and selected numerous additional illustrations.

Indiana freshmen Hanner Mosquera-Perea and Peter Jurkin have yet to be cleared to play by the NCAA and Tom Crean was asked to provide an update on their status following Thursday's 86-57 exhibition win over Indiana Wesleyan. The process of determining the eligibility for both players is still ongoing based on Crean's comments. "What I can say about that is that we go through a lot in a program," he said. "There's situations that are always going to arise and every one of them has got a process to it. And we're in the middle of that process. We just are. That's the extent of it. They're two great kids that are trying to get better every day and it's not like it's anything that we're dealing with that just came up. It's been a process for some time. And that's really where we're at with it." Mosquera-Perea, who was in uniform, sat out against Indiana Wesleyan with a left foot injury that has hampered him for much of the summer and fall.

A reprographic machine having a plurality of operating subsystems employs a setup procedure that prevents use for copying until all subsystems reach operating conditions. To avoid the need for time lost in the setup procedure where a power shut down is short, a bypass system, which senses the duration of the shut down, is utilized to allow prompt return to the copy function. Heated elements, such as fuser rolls, motors, and the like can be utilized to provide a timing function, based on temperature decay characteristics relative to time. The sensed temperature can be used as a control parameter for allowing bypass of the setup procedures.
1. A reprographic apparatus having a plurality of monitored subsystems comprising:
a power switch actuatable between a power on position and a power off position;
a setup system for determining the existence of operable conditions of each of said plurality of monitored subsystems when said power switch switches to said power on position, said setup system including enabling means for enabling operation of the reprographic apparatus when the setup systems determines that said plurality of monitored subsystems are operable, said setup system preventing operation of said apparatus until operability is determined;
a timer for determining a time period that said power switch is in the off position; and
bypass means for bypassing the setup system to enable operation of the reprographic apparatus in the absence of a determination of operable conditions at said monitored subsystem by said setup system when the time period that said power switch has been in the off position is determined to be less than a predetermined time interval.
2. The reprographic apparatus as in claim 1, wherein at least one of the monitored subsystems includes an element heated to a temperature above an ambient temperature within the reprographic apparatus during operation and the timing means includes means for determining the temperature of the heated element.
3. The reprographic apparatus as in claim 2, wherein the element is a fuser roll.
4. The reprographic apparatus as in claim 2, wherein the element is an electric motor.
5. Apparatus having a plurality of monitored subsystems comprising:
a setup system for determining the existence of operable conditions of each of said plurality of monitored subsystems, said set-up system including enabling means for enabling operation of the apparatus when the setup system determines that said plurality of monitored subsystems are operable;
an element, located within one of said monitored subsystems, heated to a temperature above an ambient temperature during operation; and
bypass means for bypassing the setup system to enable operation of the apparatus in the absence of a determination of operable conditions at said monitored subsystems by said setup system, said bypass means including timing means having means for determining the temperature of the heated element.
6. Apparatus as in claim 5, wherein the element is electrically heated.
7. A method for controlling a reprographic apparatus having a plurality of monitored subsystems comprising the steps of:
providing a setup system for determining the state of operability of each of the monitored subsystems;
enabling production of a copy after the setup system determines that each subsystem is operable;
temporarily interrupting power supplied to the reprographic apparatus;
determining the time duration of the power interruption; and
resuming apparatus operation after the temporary power interruption by bypassing the setup system to enable production of a copy when the determined time duration is less than a predetermined time period.
8. The method as in claim 7, wherein the step of determination of the time duration includes sensing the temperature of an element heated during operation of the reprographic apparatus.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to setup systems for machinery having a plurality of subsystems. The invention relates particularly to such setup systems for reprographic machines and more particularly to systems for bypassing such setup systems.
2. Description of Related Art
Many types of machinery having a plurality of subsystems, particularly reprographic machines, include lengthy setup systems that are initiated when the equipment is first turned on to assure that all of the subsystems are in operational condition prior to use of the machine, for example, to make copies. These setup systems are normally implemented in process control algorithms resident in the operating software of the machine. Particularly, these process control algorithms are uncertain of how long the machine has been turned off. Thus the machine cannot determine whether there has been a lengthy shut down, extending for hours or days, or a momentary shut down, extending for 5-30 seconds. The shut down creates the need for the photoreceptor and development system to undergo a rest/recovery cycle and if this time of recovery is unknown, then, to ensure copy quality, a full set up procedure must occur prior to making a copy, whenever the machine is turned on, even if the duration of the shut down is only a few seconds.
This is disadvantageous because there are many instances when a software anomaly will occur which is difficult to clear through normal machine commands. Under these circumstances, it is common to momentarily turn the reprographic machine off so that the software systems will be reinitialized and the machine will be ready to make copies when it is turned back on. Under these conditions, the subsystems such as the photoreceptor and the fuser are substantially at operating conditions and normal copying could commence. However, the process control algorithms do not recognize this condition and require the machine to cycle through a full setup procedure. This results in postponing the availability of the machine to make copies, thereby resulting in loss of production by reason of unnecessary down time. Operator frustration also occurs because of an unnecessary waiting period before copies can be made.
According to the invention, the period of time during which a machine is turned off is determined and when the power is turned back on, a determination is made if the length of the shut down period is short, thereby allowing normal setup systems to be bypassed, or long, thereby requiring partial or complete setup processes to take place before further operation of the machine is enabled. The determination of the duration of the shut down period can be made by detecting the temperature of a heated mass constituting a part of one of the subsystems of the machine.
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a typical reprographic machine capable of utilizing the invention;
FIG. 2 illustrates internal subsystems of the reprographic machine shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of the control system of the reprographic machine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is a logic diagram of one embodiment of bypass system embodying the invention;
FIG. 5 is a logic diagram of a second embodiment of bypass system utilizing the invention;
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing determination of temperatures in a heated cylinder; and
FIG. 7 is a graphical representation of temperatures within a cylinder under condition of convection heat loss, primarily as a function of time.
The following description of preferred embodiments is in the context of reprographic machines. However, it should be recognized that the invention has applicability to a wide range of equipment and machines which incorporate a setup routine prior to availability of the machine for performing its intended function.
For a general understanding of the features of the present invention, reference is made to the drawings. In the drawings, like reference numerals have been used throughout to identify identical elements. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown an electrophotographic reproduction machine 5 composed of a plurality of programmable components and subsystems which cooperate to carry out the copying or printing job programmed through a touch dialogue screen 12 of a User Interface (U.I.) 11.
Machine 5 has a photoreceptor in the form of a movable photoconductive belt 10 which is charged at charging station A to a relatively high, substantially uniform potential. Next, the charged photoconductive belt is advanced through imaging station B where light rays reflected from the document being copied on platen 14 create an electrostatic latent image on photoconductive belt 10.
The electrostatic latent image is developed at development station C by a magnetic brush developer unit 17 and the developed image transferred at transfer station D to a copy sheet 20 supplied from tray 22, 24, or 26. Following transfer, the copy sheet bearing the transferred image is fed to fusing station E where a fuser 28 permanently affixes the toner powder image to the copy sheet. After fusing, the copy sheets are fed to either finishing station F or to duplex tray 30 from where the sheets are fed back to transfer station D for transfer of the second toner powder image to the opposed sides of the copy sheets.
Referring to FIG. 3, operation of the various components of machine 5 is regulated by a control system which uses operating software stored in memory 115 to operate the various machine components in an integrated fashion to produce copies and prints. The control system includes a plurality of printed wiring boards (PWBs), there being a UI core PWB 130, an Input Station core PWB 131, a Marking Imaging core PWB 132, a Paper Handling core PWB 133, and a Finisher Binder core PWB 134 together with various Input/Output (I/O) PWBs 138. A Shared Line (SL) 125 couples the core PWBs 130, 131, 132, 133, 134 with each other and with memory 115 while local busses 140 serve to couple the I/O PWBs 138 with each other and with their associated core PWB. Programming and operating control over machine 5 is accomplished through touch dialogue screen 12 of UI 11. The operating software includes applications software for implementing and coordinating operation of the machine components. Microprocessor in the core PWBs 130, 131, 132, 133 and 134 are provided to run the software and provide control, timing and other signals necessary for machine operation.
Memory 115 includes a main memory in the form of a hard or rigid disk (not shown) on which the machine operating software is stored. On machine power up, the operating software is loaded from memory 115 to UI core PWB 130 and from there to the remaining core PWBs 131. Additional ROM, RAM, and NVM memory types are resident at various locations within machine 5, with each core PWB 130, 131, 132, 134 having a boot ROM 139 for controlling downloading of operating software to the PWB, fault detection, etc. A NVM 167 is provided in UI core PWB 130. Boot ROMs 139 also enable transmission of operating software and control data to and from PWBs 130, 131, 132, 134 via SL 125 and control data to and from I/O PWBs 138 via local buses 140.
Certain machine operating parameters such as photoreceptor belt charge levels, fuser temperatures, etc. are permanently stored in NVM 167. These parameters represent the optimum or ideal operational settings for the machine which will result in the best possible machine performance. Typically, these operating parameters provide an operating range or window. Suitable sensors (shown also in FIG. 2) such as an Electrostatic Voltmeter (ESV) 189 for sensing photoreceptor charge levels, temperature sensor 190 for sensing the operating temperatures of fuser 28, sheet jam detectors 192 for detecting sheet jams and determining sheet timing, etc. monitor actual machine operating conditions. At discrete times during the operating cycles of machine 10, the sensors such as ESV 189, temperature sensor 190, jam detectors 192, etc. are read and the data obtained input via line 177.
Typically the reprographic machine 5 includes a main power on/off switch (not shown) which is disposed at an appropriate location on the reprographic machine for actuation by an operator to power up or shut down the reprographic machine 5 by interrupting the power supply to it. Resident in the U.I. core 130, or elsewhere in machine 5, is a setup system, preferably implemented in software, which prevents operation of machine 5 until the setup system is run to assure that all of the subsystems represented by cores 130, 131, 132, 133 and 134 have reached initial conditions, so that good quality copies can be made. The setup system includes interrogation of the various subsystems to determine clearance of the paper path (through core 133 via sensors, such as sensor 192), to determine whether the photoreceptor has reached a sufficient charge state (through core 132 and sensor 189) and to determine whether the fuser roll 194 has reached operating temperature, via core 132 and sensor 190). The illumination subsystem is monitored to determine if there is sufficient light to discharge the photoreceptor. Also, the development subsystem (which generates a development patch of toner on the photoreceptor) is monitored for voltage bias to ensure proper toner density. When the setup system has completed its cycle, reprographic machine can be enabled for operation by, for example, displaying the appropriate start icon on the touch dialogue screen 12 of U.I. 11. However, where the shut down of the machine has been temporary, for example for reinitializing to overcome a software fault, various parameters such as the photoreceptor charge and the fuser temperature may remain substantially at operating levels. Under these conditions, it is not necessary to undergo a setup routine before enabling the resumption of copying by the reprographic machine 5. Even if the shut down period is more than a momentary interruption, for example on the order of 30 seconds-one minute, only one or two subsystems, such as the temperature of fuser roll 194, may be below operating conditions, thereby requiring only a partial setup procedure.
In order to develop a measure of the time of the power off condition, it has been found possible to use a thermally instrumented heated mass formed by a part of one of the subsystems of the reprographic machine 5. For this purpose, the fuser roll 194 is particularly adaptable because it is heated to a temperature above ambient, has a sufficient mass and specific heat to act as a heat sink, and normally includes a sensor 190, for example a thermistor, for sensing the surface temperature of the roll. The particular design of such a roll is not the subject matter of this invention. A fuser roll such as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,849,628 (which is incorporated by reference herein) can be used. Alternatively, other elements, such as motors, which normally operate above ambient temperatures within the reprographic machine 5 can be utilized if equipped with an appropriate temperature sensing system.
Referring to FIG. 6, the cooling characteristics, i.e., temperature decay, of a fuser roll can be approximated under the laws of free convection of radial systems wherein the temperature T at any time is a function of the radial distance r from the center line, a temperature gradient Θ and initial temperature Ti. In FIG. 6, T.sub.∞ represents the ambient temperature and h represents thermal conductivity. For analysis purposes, θ*=(T-T.sub.∞)/(Ti -T.sub.∞); r*=r/r0 (where ro is the radius of the cylinder) and T*=(αt)/L2 =Fo (where α is a thermal diffusivity constant, t is time, L is the length of the cylinder and Fo is the Fourier number).
For an infinite cylinder which is at an initial uniform temperature Ti and which experiences a change in convective conditions, an exact series solution may be obtained for the time dependence of the radial temperature distribution. A one term approximation may be used for most conditions and that approximation may be conveniently represented in graphical form, as shown in FIG. 7.
The one term approximation for the infinite cylinder is:
θ*=θ* o Jo (ξ1 r*) (Eq. 1)
where ξ1 is an eigenvalue, Jo is a Bessel function and, θ*o represents the centerline temperature.
The centerline temperature is given by the expression:
θ*o =C1 exp(-ξ1 2 Fo) (Eq. 2)
where the values of the coefficients C1 and ξ1 are available from standard tables for a range of biot numbers.
Substituting for θ*, θ*o and Fo in equation 2, the relationship between the fuser temperature, T, and the time it takes to reach that temperature, t, is determined according to the following relationship:
(T-T.sub.∞)/(Ti -T.sub.∞)=C1 exp(-ξ1 2 (αt)/L2)Jo (ξ1 r*). (Eq. 3)
Graphical representations in the form of Heisler Charts, as shown in FIG. 7, have also been generated. By determining the value of T from thermistor 190, the time duration of the shut off can be determined, as the initial temperature Ti is known (it is the normal operating temperature of the surface fuser roll 194).
As can be seen from FIG. 7, using the lowermost curve (r/r0 =1.0) yields the surface temperature decay characteristics for a cylinder. A threshold time duration, during which the reprographic machine can be shut off, after reaching normal operating conditions, and yet maintain an operating state, can be determined empirically for the machine being controlled. In an electrophotographic reproduction machine as illustrated in FIGS. 1-3 a typical threshold time duration is about 0 to about 90 minutes under normal room conditions. Using this threshold time in Equation 3 or to determine the appropriate point on the abscissa of the graph in FIG. 7, a temperature T, for the surface of the fuser roll, 194 can be determined that corresponds to the threshold time (as the ambient T.sub.∞ is known or can be determined by measurement and the initial temperature To is the target operating surface temperature of fuser roll 194).
FIG. 4 shows one embodiment of a bypass procedure for determining if the normal setup routine should be bypassed to enable immediate copying of documents. At step S1, the reprographic machine 5 is powered up, as by activation of the power on/off switch. Processing proceeds to S2 wherein a determination is made if the temperature T of the fuser roll 194 (measured by sensor 190) is less than a predetermined temperature T1. The temperature T1 is determined on the basis of the calculation or determination explained above. If the determination at S2 is affirmative, processing proceeds to S3 wherein the normal setup system or routine is followed and the reprographic machine is brought to initial conditions suitable for operation. Processing then flows to step S4 wherein an inquiry is made as to whether the setup has been completed. If a negative determination is made at S4, processing returns to S3 for completion of the setup routine. If the determination at S4 is positive, processing proceeds to S5, wherein the copy function is enabled by, for example, display of the appropriate START icon on the screen 12 of U.I. 11.
However, if a negative determination is made at step S2, indicative of the fact that the temperature T sensed by sensor 190 is above T1 and, thus, that the reprographic machine 5 has not been off for more than the predetermined period of time, processing flows directly to step S5, bypassing the setup system, and enabling the copy function.
In FIG. 5, a second embodiment of bypass system is shown wherein two or more temperatures, T1, T2 are used to provide measures of time for controlling machine setup systems. Power up of the machine occurs at S10 and processing flows to S11. If a negative determination is made at S11, that the measured temperature is not below a first predetermined temperature T1, processing flows to step S15 thereby immediately enabling the copy function, as in the embodiment of FIG. 4. If the determination made at S11 is affirmative, processing flows to S12 to determine if the measured temperature T exceeds a second predetermined temperature T2 which is less than T1. T2 is chosen to represent an elapse of time from the power shut off that requires a partial setup procedure, for example, of the illumination subsystem and/or the photoreceptor charge subsystem, but does not require a full set up procedure. If the determination at S12 is negative, processing flows to S13, wherein the partial setup routine is implemented and thereafter, processing flows to S15 thereby enabling the copy function. This occurs when the measured temperature is between the predetermined temperatures T1 and T2. If the determination at S12 is positive, processing flows to step 14 at which the full setup routine is performed. Thereafter processing flows to step S15 to enable the copy function. It should be realized that in the FIG. 5 embodiment, steps S13 and S14 include the inquiry process of step S4 in the FIG. 4 embodiment.
If additional intermediate determinations are desirable for truncating the full setup system, steps S11 and S12 can be replicated with additional like steps each controlling a desired level of setup, thereby reaching the copy enable function more quickly. The bypass procedures of FIGS. 4 and 5 can be implemented in software stored, for example, in memory 115.
The invention provides the overall advantage that the reprographic machine 5 can be returned to operation more quickly after brief stoppages, thereby increasing throughput of the machine and lessening operator irritation. Another advantage of the specific embodiment disclosed is that elements already present within the reprographic apparatus 5 for other purposes can perform a clock function, without the need to provide a separate clock, thereby providing for inexpensive implementation of the invention.

This is a very well written and informative book on Mary and her relationship with those how have a special love for the mother of God. It has many helpful explanations of issue of controversy. For instance the title Mother of God is still disputed by many non-Catholics. I came away with an understanding that true Christians beleieve that Jesus was the result of God becoming man; while false Christians believe Jesus was a man who became god. An exciting book for those devoted to Mary

A theft suspect who fled into an alligator-infested lake turned up dead the next day with gator-teeth marks on his upper torso, authorities said Tuesday.
MICCOSUKEE TRIBE INDIAN RESERVATION, Fla. — A theft suspect who fled into an alligator-infested lake turned up dead the next day with gator-teeth marks on his upper torso, authorities said Tuesday.
Justo Padron, 36, of West Miami-Dade, was burglarizing a vehicle near the Miccosukee Resort and Convention Center last Thursday when police arrived, according to a Miccosukee Tribe official.
Padron fled and jumped into a nearby lake where a sign warns people: "Danger Live Alligators." His body was recovered Friday with what appeared to be alligator-teeth marks on his upper torso.
The Miami-Dade Medical Examiner's Office confirmed Wednesday that Padron died of an alligator attack. His death has been classified as an accident.

A Padron accomplice, who was not identified, surrendered and was arrested, said Dexter Lehtinen, a tribe attorney. Lehtinen said the two men were not members of the tribe.
Padron had been wanted by authorities since September for violating his probation after pleading guilty in June to cocaine possession.
He had been arrested more than a dozen times since 1989 on various charges, including burglary, robbery and drug possession, and was released from prison in 2002 after a six-year sentence for burglary.
A 9-foot-3-inch-long alligator suspected in the attack on Padron was killed.

Metal-detecting unearths Granite State mysteries, history
On Sunday morning, several dozen members of the Granite State Treasure Hunters Club took their metal detectors and diggers and fanned through Lone Tree Scout Reservation in Kingston.
Most wore headphones attached to beeping detectors, kneepads and wide belts with deep pockets where they stash old pennies, spent bullets, chunks of machinery, rusty tools and the occasional pieces of silver and gold that they find buried a few inches below the packed topsoil.
"Each time you hit a target, it's a mystery," said Hampstead resident Steve Pearsall whose specialty is old coins. "It's like a Christmas present. You can't know what's in the box."
The club, which was started back in 1974, is the oldest metal-detecting club in the state. Once a month, members get together and search woods, shorelines and fields.
There are plenty of odd and interesting items made from metal just below the surface. Some of it's rare, some of it's precious, and some of it's just old junk. The treasure hunters love finding 18th-century coins, gold jewelry and other bits and pieces of bling, but that's not what keeps them going.
"It's the thrill of the hunt," said Art Bushnell of Meredith, who has dug up plenty of corroded pennies, nails and bottle caps. But like other treasure hunters, Bushnell keeps hunting.
"It's something that's in your blood," he said.
Ethical treasure-hunting
Beyond the camaraderie, the Granite State Treasure Hunters are out to give the hobby of metal-detecting a good name.
"Our name is actually the Granite State Treasure Hunters for Historic Preservation," said Dave Waterhouse, the club's vice president. "That's the part of the hobby we want people to understand."
For the treasure hunters, many of the best finds are old tools and pieces of household equipment and early American technology.
Pearsall once dug up two cone-shaped pieces of metal about five inches long. Neither he nor the other club members knew exactly what they were, but after some research and some asking around, Pearsall learned they were part of the rigging of a horse cart used to stabilize it when it was stopped or being loaded.
"It's everyday history," said Pearsall. "I treasure those more than a lot of the coins I've found."
Often, if members find something of historical significance, they donate it to local historical societies and organizations. When they are invited to hunt on private property, they offer their discoveries to the owners first.
"It's responsible treasure hunting," said Waterhouse.
Members who dig up jewelry and class rings take pains to track down the owners. They are happy to help property owners find boundary markers or other items lost underground.
And they are constantly cleaning up old scraps of metal, cans, pop tops and other trash.
"That's what we're about," said the club's president, Franklin resident Doug Sargent. "We show respect for people and property."
New Hampshire has a few laws about metal-detecting. State historical sites are off-limits, and treasure hunters are required to restore areas to their original condition after they dig.
The American Antiquities Act prohibits any digging on federal land, and penalties include fines up to $500,000, jail time and the scorn of the metal-detecting community. In the past, there has been friction between metal-detecting hobbyists and archeologists but, over time, the two groups have forged a relationship of cooperation; members of the Granite State Treasure Hunters say they want to maintain that relationship.
Not getting rich
The club draws people from all parts of the state who started metal-detecting for all sorts of reasons.
Milford resident Joe Reilly needed to have his septic system pumped, so he bought a small $50 metal detector to help find the cover.
"We failed," said Reilly. "Our system had a plastic handle, but I spent enough time doing this to know it was something I really enjoyed."
Reilly has since upgraded to a detector that can approximate whether he's standing above a coin, a ring or a crumpled piece of aluminum foil. It's not a foolproof system, but that's not a problem for the treasure hunters. The fun is in hearing the detectors beep and digging down to find what's there.
Manchester resident Jim Barclay built his first metal detector when he was 12 after reading a story about the hobby in the magazine, "Popular Electronics." That was 40 years ago.
"I used to go hunting around a church and people would come up to me and ask me what I was doing," he recalled.
Today, however, metal-detecting has become much more mainstream. As a result, the Granite State Treasure Hunters say a lot of areas have been hunted clean. But they also say you never know if something has been missed, so they keep searching.
Most of the treasure hunters have dug up gold and silver jewelry. During Sunday's hunt, Auburn resident Bruce Dionne unearthed a metal section of an old mop which he affectionately offered to his wife, Joann, one of the few women who belong to the club.
But he's also given her a few of his more high-end finds.
"I've found a 30-inch silver chain with a cross, a diamond ring with nine stones, a lady's bracelet," said Dionne. "A lot of rings are found in the water."
But that's really the exception to the treasure-hunting rule.
"This isn't a hobby for people to get rich," said Concord resident Bill Burroughs, who has been with the group since the start.
Burroughs' favorite hunting sites are old cellar holes and the spots where people lived during the 1800s. His favorite finds are metal scraps of daily life.
"We're really relic hunters; we look for old pieces of history," he said. "I would rather find an old lock than anything else."

SAVANNAH - Dozens of people were injured in an explosion at a sugar refinery that was felt by residents throughout the Savannah suburb of Port Wentworth, authorities said.No deaths were reported immediately at the Imperial Sugar plant, formerly Dixie Crystals, a longtime Savannah landmark. 'We have an unconfirmed number of injuries, well over 50 to 100 at this point,' said Sgt. Mike Wilson, spokesman for the Savannah-Chatham County police. He said the explosion happened at about 7 p.m. There was no immediate word on what caused it. Imperial Sugar, based in Sugar Land, Texas, acquired Savannah Foods & Industries, which produced Dixie Crystals, in 1997. The acquisition doubled the size of the company, making it the largest processor and refiner of sugar in the country, according to the company Web site. Imperial markets some of the country's leading consumer brands, Imperial, Dixie Crystals and Holly, as well as supplying sugar and sweetener products to industrial food manufacturers.

The product group released the August 2014 Cumulative Update for the SharePoint 2013 product family.
Be aware that all Update for SharePoint 2013 require SharePoint Server 2013 SP1 OR March 2013 PU for SharePoint 2013 to be installed first.
Please also have a look at the article that discusses how to properly patch a SharePoint 2013 farm which has Search enabled (see below).
Also be aware that in August no so called "Server" or "Uber" packages have been released instead only fix packages for individual components of SharePoint have been released. That means if your SharePoint system is on an older patch level than July 2014 CU you need to install July 2014 CU before installing the below listed August 2014 CU fixes in order to update your system to the latest patch level. With other words: It is highly recommended to install SP1 and July 2014 CU before installing August 2014 CU!
Previous releases of the SharePoint Server 2013 cumulative update included both the executable and the .CAB file in the same self-extracting executable download. Because of the file size, the SharePoint Server 2013 package has been divided into several separate downloads. One contains the executable file, while the others contain the CAB file. All are necessary and must be placed in the same folder to successfully install the update. All are available by clicking the same Hotfix Download Available link in the KB article for the release.
This CU does NOT(!) include all SharePoint 2013 fixes previously released! It is recommended to install July 2014 CU before installing this CU.
The CU does not include SP1! You can install SP1 before or after installing this CU.
The KB articles for August CU are available at the following locations:
The Packages for August 2014 CU are available through the following links:
After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2013 Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm.
Be aware that for SharePoint Server you have to install the SharePoint Foundation fixes as well! Same for Project Server where you have to install the SharePoint Foundation and the SharePoint Server fixes.
Related Info:
Hi Stefan. Is the distribution via individual packages from now on the way updates are released, or will there be "uber" updates for future updates again?
Hi Stefan,
What about Language Packs? Are those in the CU packages (not sure if we should call them "cumulative" anymore) or separate as well?
Thanks for the information.
What about the security update
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2760319? Is it same than July 2014 CU? Build version numbers seem to be the same.
If we want to install August 2014 CU with that security update installed, what to do with July 2014 CU? Is it needed or will it even install at all?
Hi Rene,
both can happen. In the pat the Uber packages often got delayed due to problems in one of the included packages. As we now ship CUs every month rather than every second month the time available to fix a problem is reduced causing the Uber not to be released.
But in general the idea I to also ship the Uber packages in the future.
Hi Piotr,
the SharePoint CUs are still cumulative and have always been. Someone stating something else is just wrong. I will explain in detail why in a post I'm planning to release next week.
Regarding the language packs: We never shipped language packs in CUs - we shipped fixes for language packs in CUs. And that has not changed.
Hi Buah,
the CU includes the PU which includes the security fix.
So installing the August CU is sufficient - but as August CU only ships the packages which have changed between July and August you still need to install July CU to make sure your server has all recent updates..
Hi Stefan,
for instlling the Patch on my Project Server 2013 SP1, i have to observe the following sequence:
1. July 2014 CU Project Server and Sharepoint Server
2. KB 2883081 - SharePoint Foundation 2013 August 2014 CU
3. KB 2883086, KB 2883085, KB 2883078, KB 2880559, KB 2760213 - SharePoint Server 2013 August 2014 CU
4. KB 2883083 - SharePoint Server 2013 with Project Server August 2014 CU
5. Start the Configuration Wizard
Is it right?
Hi Benedikt,
as SharePoint fixes are cumulative the sequence is not relevant.
You can install them in any order.
thx for the clarification
Hi, Stefan
Fixes this CU also the double encoding problem known from April 2014 CU?
Hi Karl,
we identified several different double encoding issues after April CU. Some of these are currently planned to be fixed on September CU.
thx for the information Stefan. I mean the encoding problem regarding the PeopleSearch.
Hi Kurt,
if you mean the one regarding personal site link in people search result is broken due to encoding for '\' between domain name and user name: that is currently planned to be fixed in September CU - but as usual it can slip to a later CU. Best would be to open
a support case as this will guarantee that you are updated automatically about all changes.
Cheers, Stefan
Yes, i meant that one. Thank you for your information and the fast reply!
Thanks Stefan, i am running sharepoint 2013 sp1, can i go ahead and install this CU?

English eccentrism vs North American invention
An English folly is an impractical, fantastical, aimless, obscure and ersatz structure which seems to exist in the landscape mainly to prove only that some elite people have more money than sense. They are often more like a subtle puzzle instead of a laugh-out-loud joke.
In North American gardens, a similar intent leans more towards ornamental, colourful, attention-grabbing surprises. The design can be whimsically utilitarian or unexpectedly functional, often at little cost. It is also egalitarian, depending more upon creativity rather than socioeconomic class.
So do you have a preference for humour or humor? Or a favourite example of either?
I am not sure that you have captured the true sense of a Folly there adrienne although 'lack of good sense', being the definition of the words other use, may come close. My home town had a Folly, it was a Toll House that I don't think ever served as such but added character. The other that I know well is on a hill near Bath and is known as Sham Castle being the facade of a castle only, much like the Hollywood sign.
A Folly is indeed an eccentric gesture although I don't pick up on the egocentrism that I would attribute to, say Trump Tower. Obviously they don't appear in the gardens of ordinary people so the comparison you make is a non starter.
But Carhenge (the middle photo) is more related to Stonehenge than to a folly.
Interesting take but I think I'd take issue with Adrienne's definition. A couple of thoughts. British follies were built for many divers reasons but mainly as an expression of fashion e.g. for the picturesque, the Gothick, Chinoiserie, Egyptian, etc in past centuries. Many, including Sham Castle, were built to enhance a view or provide a focal point, so they were not exactly aimless. No more bizarre than placing a birdbath in your flowerbed. They just had more space to play with. A few were even built as projects to employ local labour in times of hardship, so not entirely unaltruistic. Nor were all entirely impractical as they served as picnic spots, bath houses, observatories or look outs, etc. Some were used to disguise practical purposes such as pumping houses or air shafts from underground mine workings. They were ersatz in so far as they were not genuine castles or whatever, but no more so than putting Classical columns on a mansion even though it wasn't in Ancient Athens. There are a few follies still being built but they are essentially a historic phenomenon and not a big part of English, or British, gardening culture now. On the whole they add historic and visual interest to the landscape.

How much does Voluma cost?
Doctor Answers 27
Voluma Pricing - The Top Docs MAY have great prices
Keep in mind, nothing will be more expensive than a result that is not performed to your satisfaction. Voluma lasts up to two years. take your time, have a lot of consults, view a lot of photos and do not be pressured into a procedure. In some practices, too much Voluma is being injected at once. Look for a practice that is conservative. You can start with a smaller amount and add more Voluma at a later time.
Web reference: http://www.michaellawmd.com/voluma.html
Have a question? Ask a doctor
Voluma costs more but lasts longer!
You can expect to pay about 1.5 to 2 times as much for Voluma as for the other HA fillers. When you think about it, that is a good deal since it lasts twice as long or more in many patients. The number of syringes used to restore cheek volume is generally 2 to 4 in my experience. More for the very severely volume depleted patient.
Web reference: http://vandykelaser.com/
The cost of Voluma will vary based on who is injecting it and how many syringes are being used
In my practice, which is about 45 min to 1 hour from Manhattan, I charge $ 1050 for the first syringe and $ 950 for subsequent syringes. Many of my patients will travel to have liquid face lifts using Voluma and its not unusual to have more than 4 syringes. We discount heavily additional syringes beyond the fourth, charging only $ 500 per syringe making these liquid lifts affordable. Its not unusual in Manhattan for physicians to charge upwards of $ 1500 per syringe.

What should I pay for Voluma?
With that said, the more important question now becomes who should inject your Voluma?
Voluma is the only filler that is FDA-approved for cheek augmentation, and is a great product. However, it can still be misplaced and have significant consequences, including overfilling, infection, and migration of product into undesired areas. I would always make sure your surgeon or dermatologist has significant experience with Voluma, and ask for before-and-after pictures. As Voluma is a new filler manufactured by Allergan, most injectors' experiences are limited. I would seek out an aesthetic-trained plastic surgeon in your area who has extensive experience with injecting cheek fillers and typically performs many facial surgeries, as he/she is thus more likely to be familiar with the anatomy in that area, which can be variable even from one side of the face to the other. I would also ask for a plastic surgeon who took the Allergan Expert Hands-on training course specific for Voluma injection.
Good luck.

Coconut Road earmark may now help other roads
It's really not a Coconut Road earmark anymore.
That's just the popular name for $9.2 million that got one step closer to funding road infrastructure projects in Lee and Collier counties Monday after a unanimous vote of the Bonita Springs City Council.
Council voted to hand over half of a $300,000 payment a state transportation official asked for to assign about $7 million of the money to revamping the Bonita Beach Road Interstate 75 interchange.
The other half will have to come from the Lee County Commission. Bonita Mayor Ben Nelson felt confident the commission will approve the expenditure.
"The signals that we've been getting is that they are going back us up," Nelson said, "and then we'll finally get it built."
The area's Florida Department of Transportation Secretary, Stan Cann, tried to broker the deal between the two counties during a joint meeting of the counties' metropolitan planning organizations Oct. 17.
Cann said the $9.2 million was not enough to cover the cost of a road widening at the I-75 interchange at Immokalee Road in Collier and a revamping of the interchange at Bonita Beach Road.
Cann needed $500,000 from Collier County for purchasing right of way and $300,000 from Lee County to pay for water line relocation.
Collier MPO representatives were all for the deal, which would have led to about $3 million being sent to their project. The rest would have gone to the Bonita Beach Road project, but a vote on the proposal failed 9-9, a split nearly along county lines.
Lee County Commissioner Tammy Hall said she was uninterested in making another payment on a road project the state should be handling. It's something the county has done too much of, Hall said. The commission was taking a stand, she said.
"Lee county fronts a tremendous amount of money for roads," Hall said. "They take our money from Lee County to build these roads."
"We didn't feel that we should be penalized," Hall said. "It was a deal, but it was the principle of this particular issue."
Hall was supportive of the council's decision and said she will approve the expenditure if it comes before her for a vote.
"We'll look to discuss that, and the board will vote, but I certainly will support the efforts of City Council and get this thing done," Hall said.
Collier County Transportation Planning Director Nick Casalanguida also praised the council's move.
"I recognize that both counties are using a little bit of their own money to leverage that money, and it is fantastic cooperation," Casalanguida said. "Bonita now, by moving forward to take action, is buying into that agreement, and helping get something done that will improve all of I-75."
Casalanguida said the path to distributing the $9.2 million will be smoother now that an agreement has been struck, and Bonita and Lee County both seem to be on board.
"I think a lot of the credit can be given to Stan Cann for brokering something beneficial for both counties," Casalanguida said.
Collier leaders have verbally committed to their portion, which was needed to purchase rights of way at Immokalee Road. This is the first vote by any of the involved municipalities to put the plan into action.
The $9.2 million is the remainder of a controversial earmark once slated for conducting a study on an I-75 overpass of Coconut Road in Estero.
Coconut Road is a smaller road in south Lee County that comes to a dead-end just west of I-75 within unincorporated Estero, a little to the north of the Bonita Springs city limits. East of the interstate is the undeveloped land that landowner Daniel Aronoff has an interest in. There has been speculation that Aronoff's ties with U.S. Rep. Don Young may have led to the earmark.
The Coconut Road earmark appeared in a 2005 bill after Young, R-Alaska, attended a fundraiser in Estero. The event was hosted by Aronoff, who owns about 4,000 acres east of the proposed interchange, and Aronoff also contributed money to Young's campaign efforts.
The interchange hadn't been something local officials had been interested in studying, which raised eyebrows initially.
Councilman John Spear said he was hopeful the situation would be resolved and the work started.
"We've had a two-year dance over that $10 million," Spear said.

Compare Prices on Queen of the West USA Cruises
The Pacific Northwest
My wife and I had a wonderful cruise on the Queen of the West on the Columbia River. The accommodations were comfortable and the ship's staff could not have been any better. The cruise is well planned, with a variety of activities on board and on shore to keep everyone busy and active.
The food is wonderful with a variety that should please anyone. I was pleased that smaller portions were available if requested. We met many interesting people from all over the U.S. at meals and cocktails. Cocktail hour is open bar, quite nice really.
Some other highlights: bus tour to Mt. St. Helen's, jet boats on the Snake River, traversing five or six huge river locks, wildlife spotting like bighorn sheep and bald eagles, the views on the Columbia River, lectures on history and and geology by the ship's experts on the area.
Great time, well worth the money. Less
