In Honor of Our Veterans
As we commemorate another Veterans Day, the SLU community is invited to learn more about the day and the individuals it honors.
- The Census Bureau estimates that there are 21.8 million veterans in the United States. There is also an estimated 505,900 living in the state of Missouri.
- Of all living veterans, 35 percent served during the Vietnam War. Of that number, 54,000 also served in World War II as well as the Korean War.
- Veterans Day began as Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. In 1926, Congress passed a resolution for the day to be observed annually, and in 1954, Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation changing the holiday's name to "Veterans Day" and issued the first Veterans Day proclamation.
- Veterans Day is still celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in the United Kingdom and in other areas that are part of the British Commonwealth.
- There are an estimated 200 veterans receiving benefits at Saint Louis University.
- Recently, Saint Louis University was named a "Military Friendly School" by G.I. Jobs for the third consecutive year. The publication's 2012 list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America's veterans as students. Learn more about the benefits SLU offers to student veterans at the Veterans Benefits web page.
- Specific benefits that SLU offers student veterans includes the Yellow Ribbon Program, which awards 50 eligible veterans a maximum of $10,000 for tuition and University charges. Find out more at SLU's Yellow Ribbon Program web page.
- SLU also offers credit for military service, and the University's School of Professional Studies actively recruits from Scott Air Force Base.

Im convinced head is recording with korn.
Another interview asked head the question his response was very cryptic. "Anything is possible, I mean we are..uhh anything is possible" lol. not the exact quote but pretty much the same. He actually began to say something than cut himself off. Now with all the pictures especially the most recent head put up of him chilling with fieldy next to his car. Im convinced there not going to announce it until the album is finished but to me its a done deal. To many hints and if you really think about it, why would korn record an album without him when he is goin to be playing the tour to follow? That would def be weird korn pushing music they did without head,at the same time there trying to promote him being back? And we all know korn are recording right now, all of heads pics of him hanging with the band. You think he would just be there hanging with the band while there recording and do nothing? Plus this might be stretching it but I swear there was a pic of head not to long ago with him and the guys, and head is holding a bottle of fiji spring water. A week ago korn released a pic from the studio with a bottle of fiji water just chilling in the middle. Clue? Its obvious something is going on. Mark my words...head is on the new album and once there ready they will announce it,and people will go apeshit.

Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
That picture on the front page confirms it for me.
All i wanna do is kill you
Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
So head just gave another interview. He said that a while ago,He really started itching to work as a band again. That he really missed the whole creative process with other people hence why love and death formed. So lets see here,pics of head on korn.com posing with korn like he IS in korn....check. Head craving working together with other people....check. I really dont think he would be added to the MAIN korn page if he wasnt officially back in the band. Also munk posted one of the pics and said it was the first from the new ones. These dont look like tour promo pics to me. They honestly look like album artwork. The way its all dark and fucked up looking with the whole band all dressed nice. If it really is heads comeback album,you know the d booklet would def have pics like that. Its beyons obvious now i wish they would just officialy announce already but i bet there waiting till the promo starts for the album.
Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
Hopefully he´ll be back for KoRn. I am sure he will be. We´ve waited for so long time :)
Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
Sure seems as he is back to me. pretty sweet!!
Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
As long as Head is making music in some capacity, I'll be following him. Enjoy all his solo stuff and of course would also love to see him work with Korn again.
Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
im just happy that they have reunited
Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
I just wanna,see KORN in Bakersfield or Fresno Cali....they are in Ohio then Oklahoma then off to Europe...:(
Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
I hope that he is on the new album. It would make my year.
Does it make me bad??
Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
you and me both!.. i was in the "mosh pit" for heads first show back 2 weeks ago.. they played like 25 songs and didn't stop playing until like 12:30 at nite!.. it sounded like they Never lost a step.. i better see all you Korn Kids in that PIT!! LoL
Re: Im convinced head is recording with korn.
I knew he'd come back.

Meerkats have to be one of the cutest animals on the planet. Since they are small, furry, can stand on two legs, and have a mischievous masked appearance, they more than meet the requirements for being downright adorable. It would be wonderful to have real live Meerkats in the garden but unless you live in the Kalahari Desert, you will have to settle for sculptures of these beautiful creatures instead. Luckily, we have a fine collection of very realistic Meerkat sculptures. If you aren't sure that the time has arrived for buying one or two Meerkat statues, the following signs should help:
- The gnomes and fairies are looking lonely: If those garden gnomes and fairy statues seem like they could use some company, you couldn't ask for a better statue than a Meerkat. The beyond adorable appearance and size of the Meerkat Family Sculpture makes it a perfect accompaniment to garden gnomes, trolls, and fairies.
- You don't have any animal garden statues: A Meerkat makes for an excellent first animal yard statue. It doesn't look very wild, easily fits in with other decor, and adds a cute touch to any backyard.
- You could use a "welcome" sculpture: Every garden should have a sculpture that literally welcomes guests. Make them smile with the Meerkat Menagerie Welcome Sculpture.
Find the best in Meerkat decor and outdoor resin garden statues at Design Toscano. Buy these and any other items on our site between today and July 5th and get a 20% discount as part of our 4th of July Sale!

A New Jersey teenager is suing her parents, claiming she was kicked out of her home and thus entitled to money for private-school tuition, transportation, room and board.
In a potential precedent-sitting lawsuit, Morris Catholic HS senior Rachel Canning said mom and dad are still financially responsible for her — even after she flew their Lincoln Park coop, two days before her 18th birthday in late October.
The eldest daughter of Sean and Elizabeth Canning said she was forced out, while her parents insist she moved voluntarily.
Both sides are scheduled to appear before a Morristown judge on Tuesday.
Rachel is asking that mom and dad be ordered to immediately pay up for tuition at the 12th-grader's Morris Catholic HS.

What's in a Name?
Urban Outfitters, the retail mecca for once and future hipsters, recently scrubbed its website of all references to "Navajo." What was once the "Navajo Print Fabric Wrapped Flask" is now the "Printed Fabric Wrapped Flask"; the "Navajo Hipster Panty" is now the "Printed Hipster Panty"; and so on. The items are still available for purchase, but they've all been renamed.
The move comes on the heels of a Web-based campaign against the retailer's marketing practices and official requests from the Navajo Nation Department of Justice. In June, the Navajo Nation sent a cease-and-desist letter to Urban Outfitters CEO Glen Senk, citing the company's numerous registered trademarks for "Navajo" on clothing, footwear, household products, textiles, and online retail sales. This was followed by an open letter at the Racialicious blog by Sasha Houston Brown, a member of the Santee Sioux Nation, who assailed Urban Outfitters' "mass marketed collection of distasteful and racially demeaning apparel and décor." She also pointed out that the company's actions were in fact illegal under the 1990 Federal Indian Arts and Crafts Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act, which prohibits selling goods under the pretense that they are made by Native Americans.
Ed Looram, the company's spokesperson, initially insisted that the retailer was merely following a fashion trend and had "no plans to modify or discontinue any of these products." So when Urban Outfitters finally removed "Navajo" from the names of their products in mid-October, many viewed it as a legal, cultural, and moral victory for the Navajo Nation—including Brown, the Navajo Nation Department of Justice, and a journalist from Indian Country Media network who playfully suggested that "the simple Printed Hipster Panty might also be called the Righteous Undergarment of Cultural Victory." But the solution leaves me wondering: What does deleting the word "Navajo" from the Urban Outfitters website actually achieve?
In removing the Navajo name from its products, Urban Outfitters has technically complied with trademark law, but it hasn't addressed the larger problem of cultural appropriation. Fashion institutions and individuals have a long history of co-opting non-Western items and practices of dress for profit. In repackaging these items, the relevant cultures and histories are often misrepresented. Cultural appropriation underpins a system of consumer capitalism and racism that enables global corporations to profit from imitation goods while native designers struggle to earn a living. As a result, complex native cultural practices are represented as flat stereotypes.
Imitation cultural products reinforce fashion's social dynamics, which celebrate cultural dress as exotic for some but reject it as backward when worn by minorities. While purchasing say, a native headdress, may lend already-privileged hipsters an aura of bohemianism and coolness, native people who invest economically, emotionally, and culturally in the same garment are interpreted as traditional and unmodern. By reducing cultural dress to a fashion statement, appropriation removes all of the political meaning, including histories of racism and imperialism, from cultural objects.
Intellectual-property law provides the illusion of regulating naming rights but still allows companies to exploit minority groups. These cases should not ask who "owns" ideas—which is difficult to determine in creative and collaborative industries like fashion. Rather, they should seek to determine who benefits from the use, exchange, production, and consumption of a particular cultural aesthetic.
Given the publicity this controversy has received in mainstream and alternative media sites, Urban Outfitters consumers will be hard-pressed not to read the Navajo name onto these popular products anyway. Fashion's long history of cultural poaching has made it possible to know these commodities and their associated practices when we see them; they needn't be named. Silk robes embroidered with gold floral patterns or dragons are recognizably Asian. Likewise, products bearing the bold, geometric patterns associated with and often stereotyped as Navajo design will be visually identifiable as Navajo or at least "native-inspired."
The Navajo Nation's legal victory won't prevent Urban Outfitters and other fashion companies like it from continuing to manufacture and sell an array of fringed and feathered sweaters, jackets, shoes, and accessories that consumers identify as "native" by sight if not by name. Neither has intellectual-property law's ethical shadings induced the company to make broader and long-term changes in its marketing practices. For proof of this, check out the many items available in Free People and Anthropologie (Urban Outfitters' other retail stores) that are still described as "Navajo."

Oh for god's sake. Does every trivial thing have to be interpreted through the lens of cultural oppression and racism? I like skiing at Squaw Valley. Does that make me racist? And if I like a particular Scots tartan, am I siding with the English in their centuries-old oppression of the highlanders?
Isn't a big benefit of living in a multi-cultural melting pot that we get to look around and choose from a huge array of creations from all the different elements of the society? Do we have to atone for bad behavior of someone's ancestors every time we like - and seek to adopt for whatever minor purpose - something from a minority culture?

"Does every trivial thing have to be interpreted through the lens of cultural oppression and racism?" Well, it depends. If you're white, then no, nothing ever needs to be interpreted that way, and it's always your choice whether you want to take someone else's perspective into account when you make purchasing decisions. If you're non-white, then yes, you will be forced to use this lens for every trivial thing that you experience. If you've found it exhausting to read this article and consider historical and cultural practies for these few moments, imagine how it must feel to actually encounter cultural commodities that trivialize your culture and history every day.
The benefits of the melting pot you describe accrue disproportionately to whites, and, as addressed in the article, non-whites cannot pick and choose from the same range of cultural commodities with the same understanding that they will not mark us out as unmodern or otherwise inhuman. You don't personally have to atone for these things, all anyone is asking you to do is think about them.

"By reducing cultural dress to a fashion statement, appropriation removes all of the political meaning, including histories of racism and imperialism, from cultural objects."
To "appropriate" a cultural emblem is not to deny the history of cultural imperialism. It's doesn't refer to the history at all. It's just a simple human act of saying "Hey, that's kind of cool. I like the way that looks." People (not just white people) are perfectly capable of enjoying and appreciating something in the here-and-now without recapitulating 10,000 years of man's-inhumanity-to-man. That should be OK. It's possible to go through life - even as a minority - without looking for excuses to take offense.
I enjoy listening to West African blues. Must I contemplate the slave trade every time I pop in a CD of Ali Farka Toure? Or am I simply not permitted to have possess that CD? And since rock & roll seems to trace its history back to that source, must I consider the slave trade when I listen to the Stones? Or is that music also forbidden because of its provenance?
We don't have to deny that European invaders killed 90% or more of the Indians 500 years ago to appreciate (and use for decoration) their art. And we also don't have to keep apologizing to anyone currently living, unless something being done to them now is unjust - in which case we should stop apologizing and fix the injustice. Urban Outfitters selling Navajo patterned clothing doesn't seem to me to constitute any kind of injustice, any more than would selling Scots tartans.

Drill bits are cutting tools used to create cylindrical holes. Bits are held in a tool called a drill, which rotates them and provides axial force to create the hole. Specialized bits are also available for non-cylindrical-shaped holes.
This article describes the types of drill bits in terms of the design of the cutter. The other end of the drill bit, the shank, is described in the drill bit shank article. Drill bits come in standard sizes, described in the drill bit sizes article. A comprehensive drill and tap size chart lists metric and imperial sized drills alongside the required screw tap sizes.
The term drill can refer to a drilling machine, or can refer to a drill bit for use in a drilling machine. In this article, for clarity, drill bit or bit is used throughout to refer to a bit for use in a drilling machine, and drill refers always to a drilling machine.
The twist drill bit was invented by Steven A. Morse of East Bridgewater, Massachusetts in 1861. He received for his invention on April 7 1863. The original method of manufacture was to cut two grooves in opposite sides of a round bar, then to twist the bar to produce the helical flutes. This gave the tool its name. Nowadays, the drill bit is usually made by rotating the bar while moving it past a grinding wheel to cut the flutes in the same manner as cutting helical gears.
Tools recognizable as twist drill bits are currently produced in diameters covering a range from 0.05 mm (0.002") to 100 mm (4"). Lengths up to about 1000 mm (39") are available for use in powered hand tools.
The geometry and sharpening of the cutting edges is crucial to the performance of the bit. Users often throw away small bits that become blunt, and replace them with new bits, because they are inexpensive and sharpening them well is difficult. For larger bits, special grinding jigs are available. A special tool grinder is available for sharpening or reshaping cutting surfaces on twist drills to optimize the drill for a particular material.
Manufacturers can produce special versions of the twist drill bit, varying the geometry and the materials used, to suit particular machinery and particular materials to be cut. Twist drill bits are available in the widest choice of tooling materials. However, even for industrial users, most holes are still drilled with a conventional bit of high speed steel.
The most common twist drill (the one sold in general hardware stores) has a point angle of 118 degrees. This is a suitable angle for a wide array of tasks, and will not cause the uninitiated operator undue stress by wandering or digging in. A more aggressive (sharper) angle, such as 90 degrees, is suited for very soft plastics and other materials. The bit will generally be self-starting and cut very quickly. A shallower angle, such as 150 degrees, is suited for drilling steels and other tougher materials. This style bit requires a starter hole, but will not bind or suffer premature wear when a proper feed rate is used.
Drills with no point angle are used in situations where a blind, flat-bottomed hole is required. These drills are very sensitive to changes in lip angle, and even a slight change can result in an inappropriately fast cutting drill bit that will suffer premature wear.
Drill bit geometry has several aspects:
Most drills for consumer use have straight shanks. For heavy duty drilling in industry, drills with tapered shanks are sometimes used.
Long series drills are extended length twist drills. They are not the best tool for drilling deep holes, as they require frequent withdrawal to clear the flutes of swarf and prevent drill breakages. Gun drills are the preferred drills for deep hole drilling.
Center drill bits are used in metalworking to provide a starting hole for a larger-sized drill bit or to make a conical indentation in the end of a workpiece in which to mount a lathe center. In either use, the name seems apt, as the drill is either establishing the center of a hole or making a conical hole for a lathe center. However, the true purpose of a center drill is the latter task, while the former task is best done with a spotting drill (as explained in detail below). Nevertheless, because of the frequent lumping together of both the terminology and the tool use, suppliers may call center drills combined-drill-and-countersinks in order to make unambiguously clear what product is being ordered.
Centre drills are meant to create a conical hole for "between centers" manufacturing processes (typically lathe or cylindrical-grinder work). That is, they provide a location for a (live, dead, or driven) center to locate the part about an axis. A workpiece machined between centers can be safely removed from one process (perhaps turning in a lathe) and set up in a later process (perhaps a grinding operation) with what is often a negligible loss in the co-axiality of features.
Traditional twist drill bits may tend to wander when started on an unprepared surface. Once a bit wanders off-course it is difficult to bring it back on center. A center drill bit frequently provides a reasonable starting point as it is short and therefore has a reduced tendency to wander when drilling is started.
While the above is a common use of center drills, it is a technically-incorrect practice and should not be considered for production use. The correct tool to start a traditionally-drilled hole (a hole drilled by a high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill) is a spotting drill, or a spot drill, as they are referred to in the U.S. The included angle of the spotting drill should be the same as, or greater than, the conventional drill bit so that the drill bit will then start without undue stress on the drill's corners, which would cause premature failure of the drill and a loss of hole quality.
Most modern solid-carbide drills should not be used in conjunction with a spot drill or a center drill. They are specifically designed to start their own hole. Usually, spot drilling will cause premature failure of the carbide drill and a certain loss of hole quality. If it is deemed necessary to chamfer a hole with a spot or center drill when a carbide drill is used, it is best practice to do so after the hole is drilled.
Centre drills wander as easily as anything else in hand-held power drills—for such operations, so a center punch is often used to spot the planned hole centre prior to drilling a pilot hole. However, a centre drill works nearly as well as a spotting drill for most rigidly-clamped drilling operations, especially in softer metals such as aluminum and its alloys.
The small starting tip has a tendency to break, so it is economical and practical to make the drill bit double-ended.
A core drill bit (as pictured) is used to enlarge an existing hole. The existing hole may be the result of a core from a casting or a stamped (punched) hole.
The name of this bit may be somewhat confusing.
Core drill bits are similar in appearance to reamers as they have no cutting point or means of starting a hole. They have 3 or 4 flutes which enhances the finish of the hole and ensures the bit cuts evenly. Core drill bits differ from reamers in the amount of material they are intended to remove. A reamer is only intended to enlarge a hole a slight amount which, depending on the reamers size, may be anything from 0.1 millimeter to perhaps a millimeter. A core drill bit may be used to double the size of a hole.
Using an ordinary two-flute twist drill to enlarge the hole resulting from a casting core will not produce a clean result, the result will possibly be out of round, off center and generally of poor finish. The two fluted drill also has a tendency to grab on any protuberance (such as casting flash) which may occur in the product.
Left-hand bits are almost always twist bits and are predominantly used in the repetition engineering industry on screw machines or drilling heads. Left-handed drills allow a machining operation to continue when the spindle either cannot be reversed or where the design of the machine makes it more efficient to run left-handed. With the increased use of the more versatile CNC machines their usage is less common than when specialised machines were required for machining tasks.
They may also be used as an aid in the removal of common right-hand screws. Since the rotation of the drill bit is such as it would loosen the screw, using it to drill into the damaged screw head will usually remove the screw, providing the bit "grabs" the damaged material successfully.
Another type of left-hand bit is an extraction tool used expressly for removing broken or seized screws, other than by drilling. It has a highly tapered thread structure on it, and is inserted into a drilled hole (of the recommended size) in the damaged screw. If a left hand drill bit is used initially, and the act of drilling the hole does not release the screw, this tool may remove it. In use, the extractor is rotated and the action of the taper and spiral digs into the damaged material causing it to lock tightly and hopefully applies enough pressure to remove the screw. The tool has a tendency to continue winding in while being turned and this may cause the extractor to expand the screw in the hole causing it to bind further, leading to failure of the process. These bits are made of very hard, but brittle, steel, which means they can break off inside the screw if too much force is applied, making the removal much more difficult. Because of this an alternative extractor has four parallel edges, which tends not to self-tighten. Alternatively, the hole can be drilled with successively larger bits until it can be tapped.
Typically indexable drills are used in holes that are no deeper than about 5 times the drill diameter. They are capable of quite high axial loads and cut very fast.
Spade drills are capable of cutting to a depth of about 10 times the drill diameter. Cut diameters are typically in the range of about 3/4" to 3".
Used almost exclusively for deep hole drilling of medium to large diameter holes (about 3/4" up to about 4" diameter). An ejector drill uses a specially designed carbide cutter at the point. The drill body is essentially a tube within a tube. Flushing water travels down between the two tubes. Chip removal is back through the center of the drill.
The lip and spur drill bit is a variation of the twist drill which is optimized for drilling in wood. It is also called the brad point bit or dowelling bit.
Conventional twist drill bits do tend to wander when presented to a flat workpiece. For metalwork, this is countered by drilling a pilot hole with a spotting drill. In wood, there is another possible solution, that used in the lip and spur drill. The centre of the drill bit is given not the straight chisel of the twist drill, but a spur with a sharp point and four sharp corners to cut the wood. The sharp point of the spur simply pushes into the soft wood to keep the drill bit in line.
Metals are typically isotropic, and an ordinary twist drill shears the edges of the hole cleanly. Wood drilled across the grain has long strands of wood fibre. These long strands tend to pull out of the wood hole, rather than being cleanly cut at the hole edge. The lip and spur drill bit has the outside corner of the cutting edges leading, so that it cuts the periphery of the hole before the inner parts of the cutting edges plane off the base of the hole. By cutting the periphery first, the lip maximises the chance that the fibres can be cut cleanly, rather than having them pull messily out of the timber.
Lip and spur drill bits are also effective in soft plastic. Conventional twist drills in a hand drill, where the hole axis is not maintained throughout the operation, have a tendency to smear the edges of the hole through side friction as the drill vibrates.
In metal, the lip and spur drill is confined to drilling only the thinnest and softest sheet metals in a drill press. The drills have an extremely fast cutting tool geometry: no point angle and a large (considering the flat cutting edge) lip angle causes the edges to take a very aggressive cut with relatively little point pressure. This means these drills tend to bind in metal; given a workpiece of sufficient thinness, they have a tendency to punch through and leave the drill's cross-sectional geometry behind.
Lip and spur drill bits are ordinarily available in diameters from 3 mm (1/8") to 16 mm (5/8").
Forstner bits, named after their inventor, Benjamin Forstner, bore precise, flat-bottomed holes in wood, in any orientation with respect to the wood grain. They can cut on the edge of a block of wood, and can cut overlapping holes. Because of the flat bottom to the hole, they are useful for drilling through veneer already glued to add an inlay. They require great force to push them into the material, so are normally used in drill presses or lathes rather than in portable drills. Unlike most other types of drills, they are not practical to use as hand tools.
The bit has a centre point which guides it during the cut (and incidentally spoils the otherwise flat bottom of the hole). The cylindrical cutter around the perimeter shears the wood fibres at the edge of the bore, and also helps guide the bit into the wood precisely. The tool in the image has a total of two cutting edges in this cylinder. Sawtooth Forstner bits are available, with many more cutting edges in the cylinder. These cut faster, but produce a more ragged hole.
Forstner bits have radial cutting edges to plane off the material at the bottom of the hole. The bit in the image has two radial edges. Other designs may have more.
Forstner bits have no mechanism to clear chips from the hole, and must be pulled out periodically to do this.
Bits are commonly available in sizes from 8 mm (5/16") to 50 mm (2") diameter. Sawtooth bits are available up to 100 mm (4") diameter.
A step bit, step drill, speed bit, or Unibit is a roughly conical bit with a stair-step profile. Due to their design, a single bit can be used for drilling a wide range of hole sizes. Some bits come to a point and are thus self-starting. The larger-size bits have blunt tips and are used for hole enlarging. They are now available in fractional inch and metric sizes.
Step bits are most commonly used in general construction and plumbing. One drillbit can drill the entire range of holes necessary on a countertop, speeding up installation of fixtures. They are most commonly used on softer materials - plywood, particle board, drywall, acrylic, laminate, etc. They can be used on very thin sheetmetal, but metals tend to cause premature drill wear and dulling. A metal hole saw is more appropriate for large-hole applications in thicker metals.
An additional use of step bits is deburring holes left by other bits, as the sharp increase to the next step size allows the cutting edge to scrape burrs off the entry surface of the workpiece. However, the straight flute is poor at chip ejection, and can cause a burr to be formed on the exit side of the hole, more so than a spiral twist drill turning at high speed.
The step bit was invented by Harry C. Oakes of Wyoming, New York in 1971. He received for it on 11 September 1973. Introduced by Unibit Corporation in the 1980s (formerly a subsidiary of Petersen Manufacturing Company and now part of Irwin Industrial Tools), step bits have been copied by other manufacturers since the patent expired.
The centre of the bit is a tapered screw thread. This screws into the wood as the drill is turned, and pulls the bit into the wood. There is no need for any force to push the bit into the workpiece, only the torque to turn the bit. This is ideal for a bit for a hand tool. The radial cutting edges remove a slice of wood of thickness equal to the pitch of the central screw for each rotation of the bit. To pull the bit from the hole, either the female thread in the wood workpiece must be stripped, or the rotation of the bit must be reversed.
The edge of the bit has a sharpened spur to cut the fibres of the wood, as in the lip and spur drill. A radial cutting edge planes the wood from the base of the hole. In this version, there is minimal or no spiral to remove chips from the hole. The drill must be periodically withdrawn to clear the chips.
Some versions have two spurs. Some have two radial cutting edges.
Center bits do not cut well in the end grain of wood. The central screw tends to pull out, or to split the wood along the grain, and the radial edges have trouble cutting through the long wood fibres.
Center bits are made of relatively soft steel, and can be sharpened with a file.
The drill bit shown was made sometime before 1950, and still worked to drill holes in 2005. It drills a hole 19 mm (3/4 inch) in diameter.
Two styles of auger bit are commonly used in hand braces: the Jennings or Jennings-pattern bit has a self-feeding screw tip, two spurs and two radial cutting edges. This bit has a double flute starting from the cutting edges, and extending several inches up the shank of the bit, for waste removal. This pattern of bit was developed by Russell Jennings in the mid-19th century.
The Irwin or solid-center auger bit is similar, the only difference being that one of the cutting edges has only a "vestigal flute" supporting it, which extends only about 1/2" (12 mm) up the shank before ending. The other flute continues full-length up the shank for waste removal. The Irwin bit may afford greater space for waste removal, greater strength (because the design allows for a center shank of increased size within the flutes, as compared to the Jenning bits), or smaller manufacturing costs. This style of bit was invented in 1884, and the rights sold to Charles Irwin who patented and marketed this pattern the following year.
Both styles of auger bits were manufactured by several companies throughout the early- and mid-20th century, and are still available new from select sources today.
The diameter of auger bits for hand braces is commonly expressed by a single number, indicating the size in 16ths of an inch. For example, #4 is 4/16 or 1/4" (6 mm), #6 is 6/16 or 3/8" (9 mm), #9 is 9/16" (14 mm), and #16 is 16/16 or 1" (25 mm). Sets commonly consist of #4-16 or #4-10 bits.
The bit shown in the picture is a modern design for use in portable power tools, made in the UK in about 1995. It has a single spur, a single radial cutting edge and a single flute. Similar auger bits are made with diameters from 6 mm (3/16") to 30 mm (1-3/16"). Augers up to 600 mm (2 feet) long are available, where the chip-clearing capability is especially valuable for drilling deep holes.
The tip of the gimlet bit acts as a tapered screw, to draw the bit into the wood and to begin forcing aside the wood fibres, without necessarily cutting them. The cutting action occurs at the side of the broadest part of the cutter. Most drills cut the base of the hole. The gimlet bit cuts the side of the hole.
The gimlet bit in the photos was made sometime before 1950.
The hinge sinker bit is an example of a custom drill design for a specific application. Many European kitchen cabinets are made from particle board or medium-density fibreboard (MDF) with a laminated plastic veneer. Those types of pressed wood boards are not very strong, and the screws of butt hinges tend to pull out. A specialist hinge has been developed which uses the walls of a 30 mm (1-3/16") diameter hole, bored in the particle board, for support. This is a very common and relatively successful construction method.
A Forstner bit could bore the mounting hole for the hinge, but particle board and MDF are very abrasive materials. Softer steel cutting edges soon wear. A tungsten carbide cutter is needed, and making that in the form of a Forstner bit is impractical. So, this special drill is commonly used. It has cutting edges of tungsten carbide brazed to a steel body. A centre spur keeps the bit from wandering.
An adjustable wood bit has a small center pilot bit with an adjustable, sliding cutting edge mounted above it, usually containing a single sharp point at the outside, with a set screw to lock the cutter in position. When the cutting edge is centered on the bit, the hole drilled will be small, and when the cutting edge is slid outwards, a larger hole is drilled. This allows a single drill bit to drill a wide variety of holes, and can take the place of a large, heavy set of different size bits, as well as providing uncommon bit sizes. A ruler or vernier scale is usually provided to allow precise adjustment of the bit size.
These bits are available both in a version similar to an auger bit or brace bit, designed for low speed, high torque use with a brace or other hand drill (pictured to the right), or as a high speed, low torque bit meant for a power drill. While the shape of the cutting edges is different, and one uses screw threads and the other a twist bit for the pilot, the method of adjusting them remains the same.
The diamond masonry mortar bit is a hybrid drill bit, designed to work as a combination router and drill bit. It consists of a steel shell, with the diamonds embedded in metal segments attached to the cutting edge. These drills are used at relatively low speeds.
Masonry bits typically are used with a hammer drill. The bit is both rotated and hammered into the workpiece. The hammering breaks up the masonry at the drill bit tip. The flutes of the drill bit body carry away the dust. Rotating the bit brings the cutting edges onto a fresh portion of the hole bottom with every hammer blow.
Masonry bits of the style shown are commonly available in diameters from 5 mm to 40 mm. For larger diameters, core bits are used. Masonry bits up to 1000 mm (39") long can be used with hand-portable power tools, and are very effective for installing wiring and plumbing in existing buildings.
Holesaws take the form of a small circular saw with the teeth parallel to the axis of the drill. They can be used on wood, metal and other materials. See main article at Hole saw.
In industry, virtually all drilling is done by automated machines, and the bits are often automatically replaced by the equipment as they wear, as even with their solid carbide construction, they still have a short lifespan. PCB bits typically mount in a collet rather than a chuck, and come with standard-size shanks, often with pre-installed stops to set them at an exact depth every time when being automatically chucked by the equipment.
Due to the high speed these bits are used at (30,000–100,000 RPM or higher is common), their small size, and the brittleness of the material, even the slightest wobble of an operator's hand will shatter one, as will accidental contact with almost any object. Due to their delicate nature, these bits cannot be used in a hand drill, and even most moderately expensive drill presses will have too low a speed and too much chuck wobble to use these bits without breaking them.
Installer bits are available in various materials and styles for drilling wood, masonry and metal.
A variant of the installer bit has a very long flexible shaft, up to 72 inches (1.8 m) long in the US, with a small twist bit at the end. The shaft is made of spring steel instead of hardened steel, so it can be flexed while drilling without breaking. This unique design allows the bit to be curved inside walls, for example to drill through studs from a light switch box without needing to remove any material from the wall. These bits usually come with a set of special tools to aim and flex the bit to reach the desired location and angle, although the problem of seeing where the operator is drilling still remains.
The flexible variant of the installer bit does not appear to be routinely available in the EU.
Different drill bits are used, depending on the material being drilled for the well. There are three main categories: soft, medium and hard formation bits. Soft formation rock bits are used in unconsolidated sands, clays, soft limestone, red beds and shale, etc. Medium formation bits are used in calcites, dolomites, lime stones, and hard shale, while hard formation bits are used in hard shale, calcites, mudstones, cherty limestone and hard and abrasive formations.
Many different materials are used for or on drill bits, depending on the required application.
high Carbon steel bits are made from high carbon steel and are an improvement on plain steel due to the hardening and tempering capabilities of the material. These bits can be used on wood or metal, however they have a low tolerance to excessive heat which causes them to lose their temper, resulting in a soft cutting edge.
High speed steel (HSS) is a form of tool steel where the bits are much more resistant to the effect of heat. They can be used to drill in metal, hardwood, and most other materials at greater cutting speeds than carbon steel bits and have largely replaced them in commercial applications.
Cobalt steel alloys are variations on high speed steel which have more cobalt in them. Their main advantage is that they hold their hardness at much higher temperatures, so they are used to drill stainless steel and other hard materials. The main disadvantage of cobalt steels is that they are more brittle than standard HSS.
Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is among the hardest of all tool materials and is therefore extremely wear resistant. The material consists of a layer of diamond particles, typically about 0.5 mm (0.019") thick, bonded as a sintered mass to a tungsten carbide support. Bits are fabricated using this material by either brazing small segments to the tip of the tool to form the cutting edges, or by sintering PCD into a vein in the tungsten carbide "nib". The nib can later be brazed to a carbide shaft and ground to complex geometries that cause braze failure in the smaller "segments".
PCD bits are typically used in the automotive, aerospace, and other industries to drill abrasive aluminum alloys, carbon fiber reinforced plastics and other abrasive materials, or in applications where machine downtime is undesirable.
Black oxide is an inexpensive black coating. A black oxide coating provides heat resistance and lubricity, as well as corrosion resistance. These result in a longer drill life than the typical uncoated high-speed steel drill.
Titanium nitride (TiN) is a very hard ceramic material, and when used to coat a high-speed steel bit (usually twist bits), can extend the cutting life by three or more times. A titanium nitride bit cannot properly be sharpened, as the new edge will not have the coating, and will not have any of the benefits the coating provided.
Titanium aluminum nitride (TiAN) is another coating frequently used. It is considered superior to TiN and can extend tool life five or more times.
Titanium carbon nitride (TiCN) is another coating and is also superior to TiN.
Diamond powder is used as an abrasive, most often for cutting tile, stone, and other very hard materials. Large amounts of heat are generated, and diamond coated bits often have to be water cooled to prevent damage to the bit or the workpiece.
Zirconium nitride has also been used as a drill bit coating for some Craftsman tools.

One time a few years ago my nieces Elizabeth and Amanda were spending the night at my house. We were eating breakfast on my porch, and I was trying, with no luck, to get Elizabeth to eat some kind of fruit, possibly a banana. She looked at me, and said, with all the indignation an eight year old could muster, "Aunt Kalyn, don't you realize that I've never been much of a fruit eater?" What I didn't tell her at the time (but will confess to now if she or her mom sees this on the blog) is that I've never really been much of a fruit eater either.
I had cantaloupe, honeydew, and a tiny bit of pineapple left from a dinner, so I just cut it in equal sized pieces. However, pineapple isn't too South Beach Diet friendly, so you could make this with just melon if you're a South Beach dieter.
Fruit Salad with Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Pineapple, and Dill
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn to use some leftover fruit that could have potentially been boring!)
2-3 cups cantaloupe, cut into pieces about 1 inch square
2-3 cups honeydew, cut into pieces about 1 inch square
1 cup pineapple, cut into pieces about 1 inch square (optional, can use all melon)
4-6 T Spinach Salad Dressing (recipe follows)
2-3 T chopped fresh dill (use more or less, depending on how much you like dill)
Spinach Salad Dressing:
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar or Splenda (use Splenda for the South Beach Diet)
1 tsp. finely minced fresh garlic
1/4 tsp. salt (I used fine sea salt)
1/4 tsp. black pepper (I used fresh ground pepper)
1/4 tsp. dry mustard powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
This is best served right away, but it will keep in the refrigerator for about a day.

I'm trying to redo how a website handles permission access to elements. Right now we have it so when someone logs in (ActiveUser) they have an ArrayList of Integers corresponding to the FunctionIDs they are permitted access to. For example when I log in I have the values 1, 2, 6, 7 in my ActiveUser.permissions List.
The problem is that I'm trying to render elements in JSF using <h:tag rendered="#{activeUser.permissions.contains(x)}"> for elements. This is always returning false regardless of the values in the List. I have verified that the value is in fact in my List using Debugging mode.
Also, if I replace #{activeUser.permissions.contains(1)} with #{activeUser.permissions.get(0) == 1} it works and the element renders. I know that .contains(<literal int>) works for java.lang.Integers, so I have the feeling this has something to do with JSF.

|Enjoy a Kosher For Passover Cup of Tea
From Bigelow and Novus
Yes, America, there really is a Bigelow family! This popular tea company was founded 65 years ago by Ruth Campbell Bigelow, and is directed today by her son David C. Bigelow and family. Bigelow, and its upscale sister company Novus, offers approximately 30 types of kosher for Passover teas, both flavored and plain.
According to Bigelow's UniversiTEA:
Bigelow Tea owns the ONLY tea plantation in North America. In 2003, the Bigelow Family purchased the Charleston Tea Plantation and formed a partnership with former owner William Barclay Hall. The Bigelows realized the value of this living piece of American history and decided that it must be preserved. Today the Charleston Tea Plantation offers more than just a cup of fresh tea. Thanks to the Bigelow Family, this actual, historic working tea farm presents a true learning experience.
In addition to the large variety of Bigelow kosher and kosher for Passover teas, the company has recently introduced its very special Novus line as well. Novus is a sophisticated, upscale brand, combining the taste and aroma of a loose-leaf tea in a disposable nylon infuser tea bag. Novus is the true tea lover's tea and eliminates the need for strainers to steep whole loose-leaf tea. Similar to fine wine, higher quality chocolates, Novus is for discerning tea drinkers.
Our tasting panel (needless to say it was not a Tea-dius job), especially enjoyed the following flavors, but they are still tasting! Check for a KOF-KP on each package to ensure that it is Passover friendly and check on the Bigelow website for additional varieties.
For the complete listing of kosher for Passover Bigelow teas, go to BigelowTea.com. Many supermarkets carry a nice selection of these teas.
For more information about Novus Tea visit NovusTea.com. Novus can be ordered online at amazon.com.

CEDAR COUNTY, Iowa -- Flooding in Lowden led to road closures and several evacuations Monday morning.
Tim Malott, with the Cedar County Emergency Management Agency, said the flooding he saw in Lowden on Monday is the worst he's seen in the town of 786 people.
Malott said Monday afternoon that the fire department had to evacuate five houses along Highway 30 on the north side of the road, adding those houses likely have two to three feet of water in them. He said everyone was evacuated safely and no one has been injured in the flooding, though the department did have to rescue one man who drove into through floodwater in his truck. He was also unharmed. An additional three buildings along Highway 30 were also likely affected, he said.
The National Weather Service in the Quad Cities issued a flood warning for northern Cedar County this morning, which is expected to extend into early Tuesday. That warning said between 4 and 6 inches of rain have hit the area since the warning was issued, and strong thunderstorms moving into the area could worsen flooding, or lead to flooding in other areas.
Floodwater began to cover roads around 8 a.m. and as of Monday afternoon, two roads had closed, including one closure at the intersection of 160th Street and Snyder, as well as the bridge along the Herbert Hoover Highway near town. Though Malott said he's hopeful those roads will be open within a few days, he said that will depend largely on the weather, as the National Weather Service has predicted another 1 to 3 inches of rain in the area this evening.
"The big problem is there's a forecast for more rain, how much, we're not really sure, but they're saying heavy downpours so that's concerning," Malott said.
He said no volunteers are needed to assist with sandbagging at this time, but that may change if the rain persists into the evening.
"You know, it's going as good as expected right now, if you get a lot of water you're going to have some damage," Malott said, adding the area got about 6 inches of rain last night that carried into the morning. "We did get more water than we've ever seen, I don't remember ever seeing water go over the main entrance into Lowden over Highway 30."

what to do next
I'm new to this forum, and need your advice on something. We are currently trying to concieve. I haven't had a period for 10 weeks. Not normal for me. I have been cramping and having twinges and sore bbs for the past 7 weeks, in addition to sickness (threw up a few times) frequent urination and headaches. Been testing once a week the past three weeks. One faint positive home pregnancy test, and two negative. Could I be pregnant and testing to late, expiriencing the hook effect? Or is a pregnancy ruled out at this point? I can also feel a ridge above my pelvic bone when I lay flat with a full bladder, but I'm not sure if this is my bladder or a growing uterus. Could it be a hormone imbalance causing this? No history of irregular periods, hormonal birth controll or fertility issues.
Any addvice would be very welcome!

Dear Mille,
Welcome to the forum.
I would like to ask you some more questions to help me to address your post.
Do you normally have regular periods? What is the length of your monthly cycle?
When did you take the pregnancy test that showed a faint positive? Was that the first test or the most recent? A false positive is rare on a pregnancy test.
The hook effect is fairly rare and can be overcome by a doctor diluting your urine and then performing the test.
Have you had any bleeding at all in the last 10 weeks?
Best wishes,

Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical Care Medicine and Certified by United Council for Neurological Subspecialities in Neurocritical Care, Samarjit (Sam) Singh, MD practices in the Eisenhower Pulmonary Specialty Clinic.
After finishing medical school in India, Dr. Singh completed internship and residency programs in internal medicine at UCSF Fresno and a fellowship at Harbor- UCLA Medical Center.
It was an illness of a close family member that exposed Dr. Singh to medicine and doctors at an early age. Respecting these physicians and with encouragement from his mother, Dr. Singh decided to pursue a career in medicine. While in medical school, he trained as a general surgeon and practiced several years before moving to the United States. Knowing he wanted to continue to do procedures, Dr. Singh decided that a subspecialty in pulmonology would provide the challenge of procedures while enjoying seeing patients on both an outpatient and inpatient basis.
"Pulmonology and Critical Care offers a physician the opportunity to see patients in their most vulnerable crisis state and allows the doctor to actually save a life," states Dr. Singh. "I enjoy the challenges of seeing patients in both a critical state – in ICU or CCU, as well as on an outpatient basis before their disease state becomes critical."
"When seeing patients on an outpatient basis, my responsibility is to educate and explain the disease process and provide options and recommendations on therapies to the patients and their family members. This is quite a different approach to that of seeing an unconscious patient in the ICU. Then, my responsibility is to stabilize the patient in the safest way possible; once stabilized then the education can begin."
Dr. Singh has a unique specialty of being able to provide Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET). He trained with the physician who pioneered this procedure. CPET has become an important clinical tool to evaluate exercise capacity and predict outcomes in patients with heart failure and other cardiac conditions. Eisenhower Medical Center has the equipment required to complete this testing and analysis.

Extraordinary Vertical Striped Cotton OTK
Also found in:
♠ Stripes ♠ Over The Knee ♠ Dreamer Socks ♠ Niqkita's Stash ♠ Thigh Highs ♠ Plus Sized ♠ St Paddy Socks ♠ Burning Man ♠ Cosplay ♠ Eco Friendly
Extraordinary fit on an over-the-knee sock with tonal vertical stripes from your thighs to your toes. These stay up pretty well without digging into your thighs. Wear them straight up or twist them for a shorter swirled sock. Made in the USA.
Fits US women's shoe size 6-12 (men's shoe size 4-10). Cuff stretches to about 22 inches; body of sock stretches to about 19 inches. These fit a 19 inch calf fantastically as a knee high! These stay up decently but not perfectly; if you want them to be super secure, you could add garters or sock glue.
At about 22 inches from heel to top of cuff, they're properly over the knee for most legs.
Additional Info: This style was love at first sight for us and will surely show up in more new colors from time to time.
Fiber Content: 85% regenerated cotton/acrylic/polyester, 10% nylon, 5% spandex.
Machine wash in cool to cold water, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Label: Dreamer Socks
Could there be a green and black stripped full length tights? I know there are stripped ones but they don't have black and green just black and beige.
I noticed something missing in your sizing tips: how long are these from heel to top? I'd like to know this in order to better determine whether these socks would go thigh-high on me or if I'd have to wear them knee-high or with a garter belt!
I need this in white/red, is that possible? Thanks a lot
The sizing tip says these make a great knee high on a 19" calf, but lists only an 18" maximum stretch. This may be a silly question, but is this right, and will other socks with 18" max stretch also fot my calves? How much "leeway" is typical?
Do you still offer the light blue option? I've seen it before and when I went to buy it was gone and there is only a dark blue option left.
Looking at the Black/reds, and some of the reviews, I can't tell if they are red or more sort of orange.. Can you help?
These look amazing! Please tell me you'll be getting black+purple back in stock!
I know Sock Dreams has thoroughly spoiled me when I check out a knee-high sock webstore and am shocked at the lack of helpful sizing info...

- By John "John"
I've used many registry cleaners in my time, from the early days of First Aid to Norton Utilities and PC Tools Registry Mechanic. Registry First Aid beats them all, it goes far beyond a mere registry cleaner, Registry First Aid scanned all local hard drives looking for the missing files associated in the registry file, what it can't fix is deleted. The program found over 1500 wrong registry entries on my PC, after some time I was left with a mere 80 wrong entries that where added to it's exclude list. It even found old entries of software installations removed over two years ago, amazing!. Furthermore, the program is easy to use and comprehensive, and with the automatic registry backup options completely safe to use for beginners and pro's alike. My PC boots up faster and feels like a new installation even though my version of XP has been on my PC for 3 years!, I can't recommended it enough!. Perfect.
