It's not just mothers who are taking a leave from work once their baby arrives. Now more than ever before, fathers are taking paternity leave to spend time with their wife and their new bundle of joy. In the current economy, men and women are working hard to support their family. They're putting in longer hours at the office. But taking a break with a couple of weeks of paternity leave will do wonders for new parents, as the new father will become more in tune with the schedule at the house. This knowledge can create a lasting pattern of teamwork and keep things moving smoothly. After watching your baby being born and seeing your wife in such a fragile state, knowing you can be there to help when she gets home will make you and her feel so much better. You will feel fulfilled in your role as a new father and also become a lot more sensitive to your wife and baby's needs. Here are a few tips to help along the way.
Bonding with Your Baby: Dad can use the first week to help take care of mommy and baby. For example, serving mom breakfast is going to help her get some extra morning rest. The more she stays off her feet, the quicker she will begin to feel stronger. When she gets done feeding the baby, dad should burp his child and hold him or her upright to digest for about 15 minutes.
Getting the Routine Down: It's important for any father to know how the family routine/schedule goes so he knows how he can be of the most help. New fathers should keep a log of feedings, doctor visits, etc. This will get him even more in tune with the daily lives of his wife and baby.
Food Shopping at Night: Dad might like to go food shopping at night so that he can take his time finding items while avoiding daytime traffic. As a bonus, your wife will love if you can squeeze in cooking a meal from time to time.
Man Pride Aside: No job should be too small or beneath a new father. Dads taking the step to help their family in this time will inspire a profound appreciation in their wife or partner. Lead by example; children who are nurtured by dad are most likely to take on this sensitive side later in life.
Dads Get Tired, Too: While on a paternity leave, dads should do all they can to pace themselves so they don't get over-tired. Remember, if you do have to go back to work, you don't want to be too exhausted when you return. Balance is the key at this time for everyone.
Reminding Mom That She's Sexy: Dad, don't forget to remind your wife how beautiful she is. She will not be feeling it at this time, as she will probably be a bit insecure about her looks and weight gain. Assure her that you love her more than ever because she used her body to carry your baby and that is as loving as it gets!

Emacs: Friend or Foe?
There are several small items that you might want to configure to depart from Emacs' default behavior. I'm going to list the code for these briefly below; none of them involve new concepts other than those discussed above. The comments should describe these customizations adequately.
;; Allow M-j, M-k, M-h, M-l to move cursor, ;; similar to vi. (global-set-key "\M-j" 'next-line) (global-set-key "\M-k" 'previous-line) (global-set-key "\M-h" 'backward-char) (global-set-key "\M-l" 'forward-char) ;; Commonly used buffer commands, requiring ;; less use of CTRL ;; (For the ergonomically-minded.) (global-set-key "\C-xf" 'find-file) (global-set-key "\C-xs" 'save-buffer) ;; Open a line below the current one; as in "o" in vi (defun my-open-line () (interactive "*") (end-of-line nil) (insert ?\n)) (global-set-key "\C-o" 'my-open-line) ;; Make the current buffer the only visible one, ;; and recenter it. (defun my-recenter-frame () (interactive "") (delete-other-windows) (recenter)) (global-set-key "\C-l 'my-recenter-frame) ;; Save all buffers and kill Emacs, without prompting (defun my-save-buffers-kill-emacs (arg) (interactive "P") (save-buffers-kill-emacs t)) (global-set-key "\C-x\C-c" 'my-save-buffers-kill-emacs) ;; Preserve original save-buffers-kill-emacs, ;; in case we don't want ;; to save what we were doing (global-set-key "\C-x\C-x" 'save-buffers-kill-emacs) ;; Real Programmers don't use backup files (setq make-backup-files 'nil) ;; But Real Programmers do use RCS. Includes ;; rcsid[] definition in a C source file (defun my-c-insert-rcsid () (interactive "*") (insert "static char rcsid[] = \"@(#)$Header$\";")) (define-key c-mode-map "\C-c\C-x" 'my-c-insert-rcsid) ;; Finally, prevent next-line command from adding ;; newlines at the ;; end of the document. Instead, ring the bell when ;; at the end of ;; the buffer. (setq next-line-add-newlines 'nil)
I hope that this whirlwind tour through the world of Emacs customization has been useful, or, at least entertaining. I've found many of the above modifications to be invaluable. Remember the old saying: Have Elisp, will travel.
That being said, it's back to vi for a while.
Matt Welsh (email@example.com) is a programmer at the Cornell University Robotics and Vision Laboratory. He spends his free time homebrewing virtual beer and playing the blues.

A couple of typos in the code for multiple key sequences:

(global-set-key "\C-d g" 'my-nuke-to-end)
(global-set-key "\C-d\C-d" 'my-nuke-line)

(global-unset-key "\C-d")
(global-set-key "\C-dg" 'my-nuke-to-end)
(global-set-key "\C-d\C-d" 'my-nuke-line)
At least that worked for me.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Indie Jones
If it's any consolation to Kevin Bacon, the backers of the Phoenix Film Festival believe he's worthy of recognition, even if the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences doesn't.
Bacon's taken the Oscars snub -- the Academy ignoring his leading-role performance in The Woodsman, one most critics said was the best of Bacon's long and eclectic career -- relatively well, he tells New Times. After all, if the Academy's members haven't even seen the film, in which Bacon plays a convicted pedophile going home after 12 years in prison, how can he blame them?
"I think we underestimated, I underestimated, how difficult a subject this was going to be for people," Bacon says in a phone interview from Los Angeles. "We did as much as we could, since this was a low-budget film, to get screeners out to all the right people, the executives and the committees, and the people that count stuff. And still, to this day, I have folks from the Screen Actors Guild, other actors who come up to me on the street and say, 'Hey, I heard the movie was great, but I haven't seen it.'
"That's what's disappointing."

The Woodsman is on a par with Bacon's career of late: He's exhibited a penchant for low-budget indie flicks, playing strong leading and supporting characters in stories that push the envelope -- blockbusters be damned -- a major reason Phoenix Film Festival organizers are presenting Bacon (as well as his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, and Lions Gate president Tom Ortenberg) with the Copper Wing Tribute Award.
Bacon receives his award on Friday, April 8, at the festival's headquarters, Harkins Scottsdale 101, before Loverboy, Bacon's directorial debut in which Sedgwick plays a mother a little too devoted (read: obsessive) to raising her child, played by Dominic Scott Kay, is screened.
While the film premièred with mostly positive reviews at Sundance in January, it's another film Bacon doesn't expect to get much play in terms of the number of screens it shows on nationally. So he's taken it on the road, including Phoenix.
"I'll tell you, man, there are a lot more butterflies as a director than there are as an actor. It doesn't matter if it's Sundance or Phoenix," he says. "No matter what, though, we're proud of it. Kyra's proud of it, I am. These are the kind of movies I'm gonna try to keep making, awards or not.
"I don't make movies for these awards committees," Bacon adds. "I make them for the people who get a baby-sitter, pay their fucking $10, and sit down with a bunch of other people and eat some popcorn."
Bacon might not be bothered by the lack of recognition -- save for one supporting-actor nod in 1995 from the Golden Globes for his role in The River Wild -- but Ortenberg, who will be presented with his Copper Wing by actor/comedian Tom Arnold the festival's opening night, Thursday, April 7, is pretty miffed.
"How these committees can overlook Kevin's work just boggles me," says Ortenberg. "But I think in a way it's a tribute to the fact that you can't pigeonhole Kevin. Each role is better and different from the last."

This page is for readers of AccountingWEB who need to get reports out of Pegasus Opera and Opera II.
Its not immediately obvious how to get data out of Opera and into Excel. You need an add-on module, either Reporter or (later and better) XRL Reporter.
XRL Reporter is a very good package and last month it won a first place among AccountingWEBs Software Satisfaction awards, so its definitely worth considering.
However, you dont have to buy an extra module in order to get Opera data into Excel. In fact its very easy to do. Theres no need to install any special drivers or the like because Opera is written in the Visual Foxpro database. Foxpro is a Microsoft product, and Visual Foxpro drivers are supplied...

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/229,192 filed on Aug. 27, 2002. The disclosures of the above application is incorporated herein by reference.
present invention relates to earth boring drill bits. Specifically, this invention relates to a method of producing/manufacturing earth boring bits with integral carbide studs for downhole drilling through rock and other material.
Rotary drill bits used in earth drilling are generally comprised of a cast, forged or machined material of significant hardness, to keep wear to the drill bit head to a minimum. To further enhance the effect of the drill, drill bit heads often utilize a plurality of hardened studs of tungsten carbide or other hard material mounted in a configuration on the head of the drill bit to increase the durability and efficiency of the bit. Conventionally, these studs are mounted in their seats upon the head of the drill bit by brazing or cementing them to the drill bit, which is economically inefficient, time consuming, and often results in the loss of studs during vigorous drilling. Furthermore, it is often necessary for the bits to be heavily machined after casting or forging prior to the attachment thereto of any carbide studs, requiring additional labor and costs.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,607,712 to inventor Larsson teaches a rock drill bit with studded inserts positioned within drilled holes, following the casting of the drill bit. This additional step of requiring the bit to be machined prior to the attachment of the studs requires significant amounts of resources and time.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,181,187 to inventor Lumen, teaches a method of attaching inserts to a rock drill bit using a press to force the hardened metal inserts into pre-bored holes in the rock drill bit head. Exemplifying the obstacle of extra tooling of the drill bit head following the casting, the present invention overcomes this by providing a cast drill bit head with hardened stud inserts already attached to the drill bit head during the casting process.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,795 to inventor Radtke teaches another method of drill bit manufacture wherein soft iron or steel plugs are embodied in the mold. After casting, the plugs are subsequently drilled out and cutting studs are inserted in their place. This extra machining significantly increases production time and cost to the drill bit. That will allow the final side to come
U.S. Pat. No. 4,014,395 to inventor Pearson discloses a rock drill bit assembly wherein the hardened drill inserts are maintained in pre-drilled apertures in the head of the drill bit by tapered sleeves that are pressed into place around the studs. The addition of the sleeves increases production costs as well as the possibility of the incidental release of the studded insert due to the vibrations caused by the earth drilling process.
The present invention overcomes these problems, by providing a method of manufacturing a downhole drill bit with pre-cast carbide studs, creating a time and cost efficient alternative to the traditional methods of manufacturing requiring post-casting attachment of the carbide studs, followed by subsequent machining prior to use of the drill bit.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide for a downhole drill bit for earth boring, implementing a plurality of hardened carbide studs in the drill bit head which can be manufactured easily and economically.
A more specific object of the present invention is to provide a means for manufacturing a downhole drill bit for earth boring from Austempered ductile iron, or iron hardened by other means, utilizing a lost-foam casting process.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide for a means of casting a downhole drill bit head so as to attach a plurality of hardened carbide studs to the head of the drill bit during the casting process.
It is a more specific object of the present invention to provide a copper plating to the carbide studs prior to being set into the foam tooling thereby protecting the carbide itself during the subsequent Austemper heat treatment process.
It is another object of the present invention to embody a plurality of steel water tubes set into the foam tooling providing for appropriate flow of cooling liquid to the drill bit head without the need for post-casting machining of these passageways.
The foregoing objects are accomplished in the preferred embodiment of the present invention by providing a downhole drill bit implementing hardened carbide studs and method of manufacturing the same. The drill bit, cast from ductile iron, is formed by the lost-foam process. This process consists of making a foam pattern, generally out of polystyrene, having the exact geometry of the desired finished metal part. After a short stabilization period, the pattern is dipped into a solution containing a suspended refractory. The refractory material coats the exterior surface of the foam, leaving a thin, heat-resistant, semi-permeable coating, that is subsequently dried. When the drying is complete, the foam is suspended in a container that is agitated while sand is poured in and around the foam pattern, filling all voids in the coated pattern. The sand provides mechanical support to the thin coating.
Molten metal, preferably ductile iron, is then poured into the mold where the molten metal subsequently vaporizes the foam and replaces its volume. The solidified metal is formed into a nearly exact replica of the pattern which is subsequently heat treaded, preferably by the Austempering process, for application.
In this specific application of the lost foam casting process, a plurality of hardened carbide studs are partially inserted into the foam tooling in a predetermined pattern that maximizes efficiency of the drill, prior to the molten metal being poured into the mold. The carbide studs are plated in copper or some other suitable material prior to being set in the foam tooling to prevent degradation of the carbide material that would otherwise result from the subsequent heat treatment process. The carbide studs can be of various shapes and sizes. The studs are "blown" into the foam molds and have the necessary undercut(s) to secure them into the solidified metal and expose the appropriate cutting surface.
Not only are the carbide studs more easily attached to the drill bit head by this invention in not requiring subsequent machining of the drill bit head prior to attachment thereto of the carbide studs, but also the studs are held more securely than those implemented by alternative means, and thus the drilling head and the bits last longer and are more durable for severe drilling applications.
Further areas of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the preferred embodiment of the invention, are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description and the accompanying drawings, wherein:
The following description of the preferred embodiment(s) is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.
Referring to the drawings by numeral, and more specifically to
Both the upper portion 14 and the lower portion 16 are separated by an annular groove 18, have a plurality of longitudinal recesses 20 within the surface of the bit, created by the mold within which the bit 10 is formed. These recesses 20 allow for material and debris that has been drilled out by the upper grinding portion 14 of the drill bit 10 to be displaced and conveyed away from the specific area of drilling, preventing the clogging of the hole with recently created debris. The recesses 20 may further provide for leading edge 21 that shaves and shapes the walls of the hole as the drill bit 10 progresses through the rock.
The upper portion 14 has a tapered section 22 providing a transition between the cylindrical sides of the drill bit and the grinding face 24 of the upper portion 14. Both the tapered section 22 and the grinding face 24 have a plurality of semi-spherical, carbide studs 30 embedded within the bit body 12, projecting outward for abrasively grinding the rock or other material through which the drill bit 10 is being used.
Referring now to
In this particular invention as previously pointed out, the arrangement as well as the method of assembly and retention of the carbide studs 30 is especially important to the operation of the drill bit 10. The drill bit 10, designed to cut through rock or other hard material is subject to substantial vibration and stress. Therefore the carbide studs 30 need to be retained within the drill bit 10 in a manner which would prevent dislodgement from the various vibrations and stresses involved in the drilling process.
Specifically referring to
The casting process used in forming the drill bit is the lost-foam process. This process consists of first making a foam pattern, generally out of polystyrene, having the geometry of the desired finished metal part. After a short stabilization period, the pattern is dipped into a liquid solution containing a suspended refractory. The refractory material coats the exterior surface of the foam tooling 38 leaving a thin, heat-resistant, semi-permeable coating that is subsequently dried. When the drying is complete, the foam pattern 38 is suspended in a special container that is agitated while sand is poured in and around the foam pattern, filling all voids in the coated pattern. The sand provides mechanical support to the thin coating.
Molten metal, in this case, ductile iron, is then poured into the mold where the molten metal subsequently vaporizes the foam pattern 38. The solidified metal replaces the volume of the foam and leaves a nearly exact replica of the pattern. It is subsequently heat treated, preferably by Austempering, to harden the newly cast part for application.
In this specific application of the lost foam casting process for creating the drill bit 10 of the present invention, the plurality of carbide studs 30 are partially inserted into the foam tooling 38 so as to maintain the semispherical grinding portion exposed to the refractory coat and the sand. The studs 30 are arranged in a predetermined orientation that maximizes efficiency of the drill prior to the molten metal being poured into the foam pattern. Referring now specifically to
The casting process provides for efficient integration of the carbide studs 30 into the bit body 12, thereby preventing their incidental release during use of the drill bit 10 due to the annular recess 33 around each individual stud 30 engaging with the metal used to create the bit body 12. During use of the drill bit 10, the copper plating or other suitable material 40 rapidly wears off from the abrasion with the rock material, revealing the carbide grinding surfaces 32 which are significantly resistant to wear.
The description of the invention is merely exemplary in nature and, thus, variations that do not depart from the gist of the invention are intended to be within the scope of the invention. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Product Overview
This complete tournament chess set kit includes our ProTourney Plastic Chess Set, Rollup Chess Board, Deluxe Chess Bag, and Score Book. The knight is beatifully sculpted with intricate detail found only on the very finest chess sets. This triple weighted chess set has a 3 7/8" king and an extra wide base that measures 1 3/4". The heavy weighting in the base makes a low center of gravity giving pieces a great feel and stability. The ProTourney continues to be a favorite for club players. Our Deluxe Chess Bag is made from high quality nylon that is far superior to canvas that is most often used on other chess bags. It is more durable, repels water, stays cleaner, and simply looks nicer than canvas bags. The bag has two zipper pockets inside for chess pieces, a zipper pocket on the outside, Velcro straps for restraining a rollup a chess board, pockets for score books, padded straps for holding a chess clock, pencil holders, and clear window for inserting an ID tag. Our vinyl rollup chess board unrolls flatter than any other vinyl board available. It has a soft, matte finish to eliminate glare - a nice feature for the tournament player. The board measures 19.5" square and has 2.25" squares that will fit any tournament size chess set. Our Deluxe Scorebook is printed - not a cheap photo copy book. It has 50 pages for recording 50 games up to 100 moves per game. Each page has a place for recording the players names, event, date, ratings, tournament positions and one board diagram. A game summary is printed on the outside covers along with algebraic and common short hand notation.

Author: Elizabeth Haas Edersheim
Publisher: John Wiley and Sons Inc
Price: £19.99
Reviewer: Jo Lamb-White
Values, integrity and respect are three words, which are continually used to describe Marvin Bower in this authorised biography. The author first met this 'role model of management' idolised by many business men including her father, when she was a young girl and their relationship spanned over nearly half a century until Marvin Bower died in 2003 aged 99½ years.
The book written in partnership with Marvin, who was also writing his memoirs at the time, is packed with tributes from no less than 97 interviewees, many of them associates who worked with him at McKi...

Mission: Equipping youth for lives of reconciliation in God's world.
Vision: To pursue and advance God's vision of wholeness, unity, justice, peace and healing for today's increasingly diverse and urban world by rebuilding relationships that make a positive and lasting difference in the lives of youth.
Youth Camp (ages 8-13)
Located on the shores of the beautiful Lake Campbell, Camp Tall Turf has been instilling the biblical message of reconciliation in our campers for over 40 years. Our youth camp sessions are specifically designed to teach our campers about the value of diversity. Campers who attend Tall Turf develop critical cross-cultural skills in a fun, safe and engaging environment. In recent years, over 80% of our campers left Camp Tall Turf saying that they befriended someone from a different background than their own. Many of our past campers say that their time at Tall Turf was one of the most transformative life experiences they have had!
Adventure Camp (ages 14-17)
Adventure Camp takes the fundamental principals of our youth camp sessions a step further. Designed for teens, Adventure camp focuses on the need for young leaders in the journey of reconciliation. Adventure Campers engage in various team building activities that are designed to break down existing barriers between groups and lays the foundation for relationships of trust and respect. Tall Turf's teen Leader's In Training serve as peer mentors and motivators in this five day session.
Family Camps (Ages 2 and up)
Camp Tall Turf offers two unique Family Camp opportunities created to engage the family unit in our mission and vision of reconciliation. All of our Family Camp sessions take place over a weekend to facilitate working families. Family Camp sessions are loosely organized around our curriculum of reconciliation, but also offer lots of time for families to hang out and interact. We believe that one of the best ways to break down barriers is to have fun together! Family Camp sessions are a great way to spend a weekend away with your family, neighbors and community.
Transportation: Free busing is provided for all summer camp sessions from Grand Rapids.

SpringHill Camps
SpringHill Camps is a nonprofit inter-denominational Christian camp with more than 40 years of experience reaching and serving children. All of our programs reach kids through a very specific ministry model, the SpringHill Experience. The SpringHill Experience consists of being God-immersed, embracing, innovative, integrating, professional, and community focused. We possess a passionate commitment to reaching the lost and being relevant as we share Jesus' message of grace, hope and love. Currently, we reach kids through overnight camp property in Michigan and Indiana. We also provide SpringHill Day Camps hosted at local churches and schools in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio.
To create life-impacting experiences that enable young people to know and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Overnight Camp: Grades 1st-12th
At SpringHill we focus on bringing the message of Christ to our youth while offering a cutting-edge ministry. With unique programming, activities and housing, your child is sure to try new things, meet great friends and grow in their relationship with God.

From the Climbing Wall and Flying Squirrel to Six Square, wild water games and stretching their creativity through cool crafts - they will have more fun than they can imagine while meeting new friends and learning more about Jesus.
