You're Definitely A Herper If:
I admit I'm taking the idea from Melissa Kaplan, or whoever started it in the first place, but I alaways cracks me up. Just start one or multiple sentances with "You're definitely a herper if" then you put whatever you want. I'll start:
You're definitely a herper if you get really excited and tell everyone that snake everts its' hemipenes on your finger, and it smells like cheese!
You're definitely a herper if you think that mousetails would make a nice kind of spaghetti.
Cheers, Peter.
your definately a herper if you go into big posh furniture shops and start changing expensive bookcases and shelving into racks!!!

You're definitely a herper if...
...you have several sheds in the garden but no where to keep your lawn mower.
...you keep pretty coloured mice - in the FREEZER!
...police helicopters hover over your house with infra red cameras, then try raiding you thinking you have a cannabis farm in your spare rooms!

Your definitely a herper if you can't walk past a shop that sells rubs without having to stop and examine them, whilst mumbling to yourself something along the lines of... "this could go in there, that would make a nice rack etc, etc, " .... whilst your family stand a few feet away looking embarressed.
Or that when you go to the counter to pay for sed rubs, you proudly announce that these are for my snakes to the counter assistant, just to see her reaction

Your definetly a herper if:
You have got a HUGE freezer, but only a small drawer if for actual food
You walk round a car boot thinking if these cabinets and old wardrobes could be turned into vivs
Everytime you sit down to do some important paperwork, the only work you get done is now knowing what the next species of snake your getting is
Everytime you walk out of your rep room,anyone that passes you looks to see if you have any sort of snake or lizard on your sholder
You spend too much time on Captivebred when you know that other work needs to be done
Everytime you walk into a rep shop for something basic, stat ect... you end up coming out with either buying an animal or putting a deposit down on an animal
You sneak out soo many times to the reptile shop, that your wife thinks you cheating on her
Only 20% of the snakes price is what you tell your wife/GF
Your hand looks like its been mauled by a dog, but in actual fact it was the snakes last feeding day
You go out for a drink at the pup, you know that there going to be half an hour before you mention snakes
Your walking the dog with your family, you see a branch and you want it for your viv, so you get the kids to carry it home
Got a few more, but my computer crashed last time so had to do it again lol.

Your Definitely a herper if you travel 600 miles just to pick up a snake !
Your definitely a herper if you check out the fluffy section in a pet shop and think to yourself my snake/s would enjoy those,
Your definitely a herper if you save all the takeaway tubs and think they are suitable for incubating gecko eggs,
Your definitely a herper if you see a poly box and automatically think incubator,
Your definitely a herper if you check on the snakes just before you go to bed.
You're definately a herper when you read this thread and identify with every post
You're definately a herper if you say that your pregnant wife is gravid and say that she needs to cut back on chocolate because she looks like she's ovulating.
You're definately a herper if you see someone going blue from the cold and ask them if they're coming into shed.
You're definately a herper if you get woken up in the night, can smell a weird smell, say to the other half that a snake has pooed and even know which one has done it, just from the odour.
You're definately a herper if you take photos of your snakes and in the background the living room looks like a bombs hit it and you have tacky wall paper on the walls.

You Are Here: Home > Essay Topics > History Essays and Research Papers > Revolutionary War & War of 1812 > Essay on The Continental Navy
Soon after the outbreak of hostilities between Great Britain and her colonies in 1775, the Second Continental Congress began discussing the creation of a navy, but it was not until October 13, 1775, that it officially approved the formation of the Continental navy. On November 28, 1775, the Continental Congress adopted the "Rules and Regulations of the Navy of the United States," drafted by John Adams, who based the document on the regulations of the British navy for discipline and punishment. However, the Continental navy's rules were less severe in punishment than the British rules.
At first, the navy came under the supervision of the naval committee, but a marine committee composed of one person from each colony replaced the naval committee in January 1776. The marine committee was too unwieldy for efficient administration, and in November 1776 the Navy Board for the Middle Department, composed of three men, superseded it. In April 1777 Congress authorized a second naval board, based in Boston, for the eastern department. As the war continued, these organizations also appeared inefficient, and Congress established the fivemember Board of Admiralty in October 1779 to oversee the navy. This organization, too, ran into problems, and in accordance with other administrative reforms by Congress, the navy was placed under a single executive, the secretary of marine, in 1781. However, no one would accept this position, and it fell by default to the minister of finance, Robert Morris. By the time Morris left the government in 1784, the navy had all but ceased to exist.
The administrative instability of the Continental navy reflected the numerous problems that confronted it. In many ways it was impractical for the Continental Congress to even try to organize a navy since nothing it could do would seriously challenge the hundreds of ships in the British navy. Moreover, Revolutionary efforts at sea took on a variety of forms, ranging from George Washington's ad hoc commissioning of ships to attack British supply lines in 1775; the creation of 11 state navies (only Delaware and New Jersey did not form their own navies); and, most important, the extensive privateering that occurred during the war. Taken altogether, these efforts were a drain on financial and manpower resources that could have gone to the Continental navy. The navy administration compounded their difficulties by often relying on patronage for appointments. The most senior captain of the navy in 1775 was Esek Hopkins, brother and business partner of navy board member Stephen Hopkins.
The Continental navy had a mixed record during the Revolutionary War (1775-83). Its first major expedition was led by Esek Hopkins, who ignored his orders and raided New Providence in the Bahamas instead of clearing Chesapeake Bay of the British and cruising along the southern coast to relieve the area of British naval raids. After Hopkins sailed to New England and avoided a battle with a British warship, he was severely criticized and eventually forced to leave the navy. The officers in the navy seemed to be constantly arguing over rank and seniority (as did officers in the Continental army) to the point where it adversely affected naval operations. However, a few captains stood out for their daring exploits and captures of British shipping. John Paul Jones was the most famous of these, especially after his victory aboard the Bon Homme Richard over the HMS Serapis on September 23, 1779. But Jones, like most other officers in the Continental navy, was often embroiled in controversy, and many of the men aboard his ships detested their autocratic captain.
Typical of the Continental navy's difficulties was the fate of its ambitious building program for 13 frigates, authorized on December 13, 1775. Because of poor planning and difficulties in getting building materials, construction of the ships was delayed. Only seven of the frigates got to sea, and by 1781 all seven had been captured by the British; the six uncompleted vessels had to be destroyed in their shipyards to prevent their seizure by the British. By the end of the war, about 60 vessels of various sizes had been commissioned into the Continental navy, which had captured about 200 British merchant and naval vessels. By comparison, there were at least 2,000 privateers commissioned that had captured about 2,200 British vessels.
In 1783 there were only a few ships left in the Continental navy. All but the USS Alliance were sold as soon as hostilities had ceased. Some members of Congress wanted to keep the Alliance to fend off pirates and possibly deal with the Barbary states, but without any money to support a navy, Congress had to accept the inevitable and sold the ship for $26,000 on August 1, 1785 ending the history of the Continental navy.

Simulations of climate over the Last Millennium (850-1850 CE) have been incorporated into the third phase of the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP3). The drivers of climate over this period are chiefly orbital, solar, volcanic, changes in land use/land cover and some variation in greenhouse gas levels. While some of these effects can be easily defined, the reconstructions of solar, volcanic and land use-related forcing are more uncertain. We describe here the approach taken in defining the scenarios used in PMIP3, document the forcing reconstructions and discuss likely implications.

Renewable energy investment at record high - report
Lindsay Beck, Reuters South Africa
BEIJING - Global investment in renewable energy hit a record $30 billion last year, accounting for 20-25 percent of all investment in the power industry, and with solar power the fastest-growing energy technology, a Worldwatch Institute report released on Sunday said.
The Worldwatch Institute, a Washington-based organisation working for environmental sustainability, said the renewables sector was growing as a result of government support and increasing private sector investment.
"Policies to promote renewables have mushroomed over the past few years. At least 48 countries worldwide now have some type of renewable energy promotion policy, including 14 developing countries," the report said.

Palm oil project fuels controversy in Borneo
Ellen Nakashima, Washington Post via Houston Chronicle
Despite the potential for a million jobs, conservationists worry plans for a plantation could destroy Borneo's rain forest
BETUNG KERIHUN NATIONAL PARK, INDONESIA - A river the color of pale toffee coursed through a valley, carrying several types of rare fish. A young orangutan, a member of a threatened species, dangled merrily by one leg from a tree.
In the heart of Borneo, home to one of the world's last remaining expanses of intact rain forest, Hermas Rintik Maring, a conservationist who is native to the area, fears this pristine jungle could fall to the whine of chainsaws and the rumble of bulldozers clearing land for what has been billed as the world's largest palm oil plantation.
The project, brokered by the Indonesian government in Jakarta, could affect as many as 5 million acres of Borneo's forest — an area slightly smaller than the state of Vermont — near Indonesia's 1,250-mile-long border with Malaysia. Officials hope China will finance the project on the island, which is divided between Indonesia and Malaysia.
Indonesian officials claim the plantation could bring the area a half-million jobs directly related to the industry and 500,000 more in spin-off jobs in schools, health care and other services.
It could produce more than 10 million tons of crude palm oil a year, they said, worth about $4.6 billion. Chinese officials said a project covering 5 million acres could cost up to $10 billion.
But environmentalists such as Hermas, 28, a field officer for the Worldwide Fund for Nature in Indonesia, worry that without careful planning the project could destroy Borneo's profusion of plants, insects and animals.
"It would be one of man's great mistakes," said Hermas, his eyes sweeping across a panorama of olive-colored forests and blue-gray mountains from a clearing 1,800 feet high. "It would be unforgivable."
The plan still is in its infancy. It envisions a series of large plantations owned by private companies and linked by roads and palm oil mills.

Abiotic Snake Oil
The Oil Drum
The curious geology of Vietnams White Tiger and Black Lion fields is reviewed, in response to the claims of Craig Smith and fellow abiotic oil fans.
...So, the "mystery" here is that oil is being extracted from porous granite basement rock which has presumably always been deeply buried, not sedimentary (source) rock that was formed by the burial, heating, chemical transformation and compaction of organic matter.
Looking further, I consulted an article from the American Association of Petroleum Geologist's (AAPG) Explorer series entitled Vietnam Finds Oil in the Basement to find out what was really going on here. ...

Global energy meet agrees roadmap on renewables
Lindsay Beck, Reuters
BEIJING - Environment officials from around the world agreed in Beijing on Tuesday to work to increase reliance on renewable sources of energy, underscoring a commitment to renewables after oil prices hit record highs.
The draft statement stopped short of setting a firm goal but it recommended the U.N. Commission on Sustainable Development consider the launch of a 10-year framework to "substantially increase the use of renewable energy."
...The statement also did not set a target for investment in the renewables sector, though it stressed the need for funds for research and development, support for commercialization of new technologies and the transfer of technologies from rich nations to poor.
"Targets and timetables do matter. But there is a dispirited feeling that the U.S. just rejects multilateral target-setting for the time being," said James Cameron of Climate Change Capital, a UK-based merchant bank that focuses on energy and the environment.
Nonetheless, he said the commitment to renewable forms of energy such as solar and wind power was growing.
"Years ago, there wasn't the same solidarity about exposure to oil price risk, exposure to climate risk, the manifest air pollution problems. Those are powerful confluences," he said.

It is pretty much a guarantee that Republican presidential nominee John McCain will take Texas.
However, closer to home, the GOP is not quite as unified.
The Texas Panhandle is still a Republican stronghold.
That hasn't changed.
What is changing, to a significant degree, is Republican strength at the state level.
Prognosticators already are predicting the demise of House Speaker Tom Craddick, R-Midland, whether Democrats take over the House or not. Craddick's heavy-handed style, which we have questioned from time to time, has earned him plenty of enemies - and they are not all Democrats.
Here's the problem, as far as the Panhandle is concerned.
State Reps. David Swinford of Dumas and Warren Chisum of Pampa have long been primary members of Craddick's camp, and have wielded legislative authority granted them by Craddick.
Should Craddick fall, Swinford, chairman of State Affairs, and Chisum, chairman of Appropriations, could be in danger of losing their leadership positions.
This would not be preferable for the rural Panhandle, which has managed to make the most of its political clout in Austin despite population loss in recent years.
Unfortunately, the infighting within the Republican Party may be just as much a problem as renewed Democratic strength.

CounterPunch or Suckerpunch?
Posted by elisehendrick under Allgemein, General, Rassismus, USA, White Supremacism
[44] Comments
How 'America's Best Political Newsletter' Mainstreams the Far Right
CounterPunch, which bills itself as 'America's best political newsletter', offering 'independent investigative journalism', tends to figure quite prominently in the reading lists of left-leaning activists, who doubtlessly appreciate its consistent antiwar stance, its critical analysis on US economic and foreign policy and US-sponsored Israeli apartheid, and the regular contributions from such leading Left writers as John Pilger, Noam Chomsky, Paul Street, Jeremy Scahill, and Tariq Ali. Indeed, CounterPunch generally tends to be thought of as a Left media outlet. However, in writing for, and sharing articles published on, CP, Leftists are unwittingly helping to promote the agenda of the far right. (mehr …)

Gasperini gets president backing
Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has confirmed Gian Piero Gasperini will remain in charge of the Rosaneri despite Sunday's calamitous defeat at Bologna.
- Related Content
The Sicilians had three men sent off at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara as Stefano Pioli's men triumphed 3-0, leaving Palermo just one point clear of the Serie A relegation zone.
Zamparini is notorious for his impatient approach to hiring and firing, dismissing Giuseppe Sannino after just three games of the season, but he insists Gasperini is in it for the long haul.
He told La Repubblica: "Is Gasperini at risk? No way, Gasperini will stay here with me for many years.
"We were playing really well until the first goal went in and we are missing some key players.
"It's not Gasperini's fault that we lost. The team is struggling because the players don't have the mentality for the fight.
"Yesterday was a strange day, the referee never really got involved in the first half, when I thought (Bologna midfielder Diego) Perez should have been sent off.
"The coach has asked for couple of wingers and we will sign them in January.
"It won't be easy but we're working hard."

Your opinion of this Ballston outpost of the Rock Bottom chain is probably going to vary depending on how you arrive.
Come from the Metro exit, and you'll have to walk through the mall, past shuttered stores and speakers emitting Muzak.
Come from Glebe Road, and you walk past some construction barricades, a row of tables on the sidewalk and up to the

However you enter, Rock Bottom is a comfy after-work hangout. The atmosphere is deliberately slouchy, with a
couple of rowdy tables on a Thursday night to unsettle things.
And the beer is pretty good. This brewpub currently serves up five beers, all with some sort of local-theme label - for instance, Potomac Pale Ale, Radio Towers Red (in honor of the Tenleytown skyline), Ballston Brown and Spout Run Porter. At under $4 a pint, prices are better than reasonable by brewpub standards - and in any case, the closest equivalent establishments are in Shrlington and downtown Washington. Check out the brown ale; it has some of the creamy smoothness of a good stout, but can be drunk when it's above 60 degrees outside. (Find something you like? Take it home in a growler.) Food, however, is nothing too special; try not to tax the kitchen's technique when ordering.

Pineiro to pitch in the postseason
ANAHEIM -- There's only one way an Angels' pitcher will sniff playoff baseball this season without buying a ticket -- get hurt.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Joel Pineiro will make a rehab start for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes Sunday at Lake Elsinore in the California League playoffs. Pineiro's been on the disabled list with a strained left oblique since late July.
Pineiro, who threw a simulated game on Tuesday, is scheduled to throw between 75 and 80 pitches Sunday.

As we look ahead to 2013, this is a great time to reflect on the current state of your practice and where you want to take it in the coming year. I'm a firm believer in making things happen and controlling your own destiny. Make a New Year's resolution to take your practice to the next level in 2013.
Based on my consulting work with optometrists, here are four practice management strategies that I believe would be the most help. Let's look at each of these areas and consider what you can do to improve them:
Medical billing
Most optometrists are involved in billing medical insurance to some degree, but frequently it is a fairly small percentage. Many ODs hang on to our heritage when we billed vision plans or we collected the fees directly from the patient. But the United States is moving toward health insurance for everyone and the public is more aware than ever. It's time to modernize your office policies and bill the appropriate insurance plan. Vision plans are designed to provide routine vision exams. If a medical condition exists, the exam should be billed to medical insurance.
I realize that changing your billing procedure is tricky, but work with your staff and test new office policies until you find a system that works. Take some courses in billing and coding in 2013 and also continue to broaden your expertise in treatment of eye disease. Perform some financial projections to determine if you can acquire new technology that will allow you to monitor eye disease.
Optical dispensing
With online optical becoming a larger factor in the marketplace, it is time to focus on your optical. We really can compete with internet vendors and the big box discount stores, but we must stop taking our opticals for granted. Consider these factors to make your optical current:
Most practices need more patients very much. Analyze your patient demand and your appointment schedule and develop a new marketing plan. The main focus should be on the internet and electronic communication.
Delegate more
It is hard to break old habits, but most optometrists need to delegate more. If you can't seem to embrace this vital strategy, consider doing things backwards: hire a new employee first; then delegate more to her. Your current staff will be much more willing to accept changes when they can see that the increased work will not fall solely on them. Consider these delegating tips:
I wish you and your family very happy holidays! See you in the New Year!

Melo making those shots will hopefully help him turn it around in the 2nd half
Take heart, Knicks' fans, pretty much every big momentum play in that half belonged to the Heat and we're only down four.
Melo making those shots will hopefully help him turn it around in the 2nd half
Impressive game is so close considering their 200 turnovers that first half.
lin is so ****ing nervous right now, just run the pick and drive..
Image hotlinked from a malware website // removed
In a game like this we need more Melo isolation plays.
The way Lin is playin and we only down 4? I'll take it. Melo heats up 2nd half and STAT keeps pissin on Bosh n we all good
Happy that Melo got a few points going into halftime...Hopefully we see more of him in the second half.
that's the reason Knicks need Melo .. regardless how Lin plays..
lin is useless.

Secondhand Sunday 30 : Puppy Addition
Today has been a very busy day.
We moved all of our furniture to our house that is just about ready for us to move into, we just have to wait for the bathroom to be finished & the hot water to be connected so hopefully we'll be in there this time next week!
Some of you may know that I've always wanted a French Bulldog, well I haven't got a French Bulldog but I now have the next best thing - a Pug Chiwawa cross!
Prue bred French Bulldogs (and Pug's for that matter) are extremely expensive here, about $2500 - $3000 each and you don't often see many cross breeds so when I saw these little guys for less than a quarter of the price I couldn't help myself, and my Mother couldn't either - she got one too.
Toa is mine (on the right) and Titan is my Mum's.
Dress : Portmans
Top : Staxs
Necklace : Pagani
Boots : Overland (about 4 yrs ago)

The good, the bad and the ugly from the first quarter of the Arizona Cardinals' 2012 season has been the epitome of each descriptive word.
Despite sitting atop the NFC West at 4-0, there are plenty of "bad" and "ugly" moments to sift through, so this won't be as lopsided as one may assume. If you watched Sunday's victory against the Miami Dolphins, you understand what that means.
Before you read through the list, think about your favorite moment of the season so far; think about that one play you were certain doomed the team to a loss; then, think about the most boneheaded play that left you wondering if the wins were just smoke in mirrors.
Finally, think about which member of the Arizona Cardinals roster is your quarterly MVP of the team.
Proceed onto the slideshow, and if something or someone you were thinking of was missed, leave a detailed comment letting us know—what would you add? Subtract? Who should be the to-date MVP?

I try to give their gingerbread man the same color eyes as them and I write their names across the front. Then I put them each into one of those clear plastic snack bags that don't have a zipper and tie the end with some colored ribbon. A pair of scissors to curl the ribbon and it looks really classy.

What I loved for this year was making these Candy Cane treats :0) They were the regular sized canes, large marshmallows, chocolate, and peppermint candies.... you put the candy cane in the center of the large marshmallow then the candy cane can stand, then roll the melted chocolate onto the large marshmallow, then the peppermints are crushed into small chunks and you roll the chocolate covered marshmallow in the peppermints and put on a plate....large platter and put your favorite hot cocoa packets around it and drizzle the melted chocolate lightly over all of the candy canes....so cute and so yummy....make the hot cocoa then put the candy cane in and drink...super good :0) For Halloween the pumpkin poop was my favorite :0) small round cheese puffs in a clear gift bag...on pinterest you can find a label to print that says pumpkin poop and put that with a tie around the top of bag...super cute :0)

Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Carlisle, PC (c.1669 – 1 May 1738) was a British statesman and member of the peerage of England.
Charles Howard was the eldest son of Edward Howard, 2nd Earl of Carlisle, and inherited his title on the death of his father in 1692. He married in 1683 Lady Anne de Vere Capell, daughter of Arthur Capell, 1st Earl of Essex.
He was elected as MP for Morpeth in 1689. He was appointed Governor of Carlisle from 1693 to 1728 and Lord-Lieutenant of Cumberland and of Westmorland from 1694-1714. William III made him a Gentleman of the Bedchamber between 1700 and 1702, First Lord of the Treasury from 1701 to 1702 and Privy Counsellor in 1701. He acted as Earl Marshal between 1701 and 1706 because his cousin, the Duke of Norfolk, was a minor. On Queen Anne's death on 1 August 1714 he was appointed Lord Justice of the Realm until the arrival of King George I on 18 September 1714.. The new king reappointed him as First Lord of the Treasury from 23 May 1715 to 10 October 1715 and made him Constable of the Tower of London between 1715 and 1722.[1]
In 1699 he commissioned a new Baroque mansion, Castle Howard, in Yorkshire, England to the design of Sir John Vanbrugh which is still occupied by his descendants.
He died in Bath in 1738 and is buried in the mausoleum at Castle Howard. He had six children:
- Henry Howard, 4th Earl of Carlisle (1693–1758)
- General Hon. Sir Charles Howard (c. 1696–1765)
- Lady Harriet Howard, died young
- Lady Elizabeth Anne Howard, married Nicholas Lechmere, 1st Baron Lechmere, then Sir Thomas Robinson, 1st Baronet
- Lady Anne Howard, married Rich Ingram, 5th Viscount of Irvine, then Brig-Gen. William Douglas of Kirkness (d. 1747)

Hats Off To Laurel And Hardy
|HATS OFF TO LAUREL AND HARDY is the third production from professional Guildford-based theatre company Lucky Dog Theatre Productions. It has been on national tour since September 2013 and is being performed at the international Laurel & Hardy Convention in Hollywood in July 2014. This accurate and moving account of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardys lives and careers has made various world-renowned Laurel & Hardy experts state it is the closest portrayals to the actual people they have ever seen. Lucky Dog received six five-star reviews at The Brighton Fringe in May 2013 and even the notorious Steve Bennett of Chortle was moved to call the piece The epitome of restrained precision. Paul Levy of Fringe Review named Lucky Dogs show his Outstanding Show of the Fringe.

Direct Inkjet to Printed Circuit Board Products
Our simple yet carefully designed Direct Inkjet to PCB Products set the standard for rapid prototyping and DIY PCB boards. Our technology is superior to almost all non-commerical processes in terms of ease of use, speed, repeatibility and cost.
By taking advantage of piezoelectric inkjet CD printers such as the Epson R280, we have developed specialized tools that allow direct printing of PCBs. After printing, the board is dried and then etched immediately, no complicated/unreliable toner transfer or expensive/slow UV light curing or messy CNC milling! In addition we have assembled fully comprehensive a step by step tutorial taking you from the PCB design software to print settings to etching time. No where else has this process been described in such great detail.
Watch a video how easy it is to print directly onto a PCB:
Full Inkjet Direct PCB Starter Kit
Everthing you need to print PCBs except the printer. Includes:
Laser cut Acrylic PCB CD Stencil: The Full Spectrum Engineering Custom PCB holder is a unique and extremely well thought out product. Made of durable acrylic and laser cut to .001" accuracy, this device will last a lifetime. The thickness and radius edges are exactly like a normal CD to fit in any inkjet printer that accepts CDs. The cutout is eactly shaped to accept our 1/32" thick copper clad boards. Four access holes on the corners allow easy PCB removal and fine placement adjustment. Two edges are straight cut so that one can use a machinist square to ensure the PCB is aligned 90 degrees to the direction of travel. Double sided registration is no problem. Just flip it over and rest assured it will exactly match the other side! You need this CD holder!
No longer available
Special Inkjet PCB Resist Prefilled Inside a Black Refill Cartridge for Epson Artisan 50, Stylus RX580, RX595, RX680, R260, R280, R285, R290, R380: If you print with regular ink, it will just wash off and your PCB will not etch properly. We have specially designed an etch resistant ink that will harden when heated into a solid that will resist the PCB etch resist. This ink is compatible with most Epson inkjet printers but is especially designed for the Epson R280 printer. In addition, this special ink is yellow for optimal etch resistance but refilled inside a black ink cartridge. If you read our tutorial, you will see it is easiest to generate and print black and white images with Windows so in order to make best use of the ink, we put it in the black cartridge even though the color is yellow. Super easy to use: just put it in and print - no learning how to refill ink or spilling it all over the place! Warning: use at your own risk. We have tested this ink extensively but take no responsibility for inkjet clogging or color changes. We replaced the original black ink and it prints/looks fine even after using our PCB resist ink but your results may differ. You should consider making direct PCBs only on a dedicated inkjet printer.
No longer available
Special Inkjet PCB Resist Prefilled Inside a Black Refill Cartridge for other Epson Printers: We can refill some other Epson printers. E-mail us your model number and we can specially fill a black cartridge for your printer. Since the empty holder is a special order, there is a 1-2 week shipping delay and slightly higher price.
No longer available.
Extra blank 3.5"x2.5"x1/32" high precision double-sided copper clad boards: These copper clad boards are cut to high tolerance on all edges and designed to fit perfectly into the Custom CD Holder. These special boards facilitate rapid prototyping. Just drop in the board, print it and etch! Double sided boards have never been easier. Just flip it over and rest assured it will exactly match the other side!

Microsoft Corp. and Samsung Electronics showcased at the ongoing WinHEC conference a prototype of the so-called Hybrid Hard Drive (HHD) which combines NAND flash cache and rotating media. The companies said the new HHD will be supported by Windows forthcoming operating system code-named Longhorn and will improve reliability, power saving and performance of next-generation hard disk drives for mobile computers.
"Hybrid drive architecture is extremely important to the future design of mobile computers. It is an advancement that will improve the performance and reliability of any computer using the Windows 'Longhorn' operating system. We are delighted with the performance in our initial testing of the Samsung hybrid hard drive prototype," said Tom Phillips, General Manager of Windows Hardware Experience Group for Microsoft.
The hybrid hard drive incorporated Samsung's 1Gb (128MB) OneNAND device that connects to the HHD's SOC using NOR interface as a cache and storage for data operating system writes in the process of its work. This allows the drive to halt the spindle motor saving up to 95% of power consumption and preserving the drive even in case of a physical shock. The hybrid drive design also can provide significantly faster boot times when a computer running "Longhorn" computer starts up, according to the developers.
Peculiarities of the HHD demonstrated by Samsung and Microsoft are unclear, but the two companies said they would introduce a set of interface commands to improve the efficiency of HHDs.
The two firms said the HHD has been in development since late 2003, when Microsoft started working closely with Samsung to develop the next generation of ultra-low-power disk drives for notebook computers.
The HHD prototype will be converted into products manufactured and marketed by Samsung's HDD division as well as other HDD OEMs. Samsung's OneNAND will integrate with the HHD SOC via its NOR interface as a standalone memory device or in a multi-chip package. Samsung expects HHD-enabled notebooks to begin shipping in large quantities in late 2006.
"Samsung, in cooperation with Microsoft, will work aggressively with drive manufacturers to transition the hybrid disk drive prototype into world-class commercial products. When they take a close look, they will find that OneNAND is the memory device most ideally suited for hybrid hard drives," said Ivan Greenberg, director of strategic marketing for Samsung Semiconductor.

Today's guest blog is from Dave Morales, and he tells us just how easy it is to build your own Silnylon Tarp.
I've been a DIY fan since I can remember. Over the years, with varying degrees of success, I've built an electric guitar, dabbled in small electronics, done house projects, made my own beer, and now I've started on my gear making kick. Enter project number one: a silnylon tarp.
After pondering and studying it for a year, or more, it was finally time to make the plunge (I'm the greatest procrastinator you'll ever meet. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow). I'd looked at all of the different designs out there and cherry picked what I thought were the most important/useful aspects of them and put them all together. I was ready to go! Uhhh….hold up. I didn't know how to sew. So, I scored an old sewing machine, took a one night class, and read everything I could on how to sew silnylon. I ordered the materials.
Rule number one about silnylon: it's the most slippery stuff imaginable. Hard to sew, but not impossible, and after a solid night or two of practice on scraps, I dug into the real project. The key is to take it slow. When I felt myself burning out, I stopped for the night. I didn't really keep track of total time, but it went faster than I thought it was going to. While it's far from perfect, it's something that is uniquely mine. I can tell from the stitching how I improved over the build. The moment I finished the detail work of seam sealing it with Gear Aid's SilNet was one of total satisfaction. During a recent rain shower, I set up the tarp and just sat underneath it. Nary a drop on the inside.
Emboldened by this, just today I ordered the materials for a homemade backpacking quilt. With attention to detail, a regular old sewing machine, and the drive to create something unique, anyone can make specialized gear comparable to what's out on the market. Believe me, if I can do it, so can you.
Dave Morales is the kind of guy who could just blather on and on about himself and will not be stopped. He likes to backpack and hike and used to mountain bike, but lost interest somewhere along the way. He likes to make and drink beer and enjoys a well crafted Perfect Manhattan. Dave hangs out in train stations and has a new passion for sewing outdoor gear. His wife frequently tolerates him and his dog is generally confused.

where can I find DIY Sil nylon.
Timtimothy d. neff
Hi Tim,
There are a couple of places you can get sil nylon. Check out Thru-Hiker, Ray Jardine's page, and Seattle Fabrics. Thru-Hiker especially is geared toward the DIY type. A few of the cottage manufacturers also sell the materials they use. A quick internet search for "MYOG" and whatever you're interested in making will turn up what you need. MYOG stands for Make Your Own Gear. There are some good sites devoted to that and there are many opinions out there, so just fish around and cherry pick the things that work for you.Dave Morales

A cap-and-trade system is one of a variety of policy tools to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. A cap-and-trade program sets a clear limit on greenhouse gas emissions and minimizes the costs of achieving this target. By creating a market, and a price, for emission reductions, cap and trade offers an environmentally effective and economically efficient response to climate change.
Ultimately, cap-and-trade programs offer opportunities for the most cost-effective emissions reductions. Many challenging issues must be addressed before initiating the program. Once established though, a well-designed cap-and-trade market is relatively easy to implement, can achieve emissions reductions goals in a cost-effective manner, and drives low-greenhouse gas innovation.
Resources accessible on this page help explain what cap and trade is and how it works to address the climate change challenge:

Dominic Bird was arrested in a police sting on March 1 last year at a cafe near his apartment in Kuala Lumpur as he allegedly handed a package containing 167 grams of methamphetamine to an undercover police officer.
He faces a mandatory death sentence if convicted.
The prosecution will deliver its closing arguments at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.
But the case resumes amid allegations of corruption against the prosecution's star witness.
Drug squad detective Inspector Luther Nurjib, who played a key role in Bird's arrest, has been accused of being involved in drug trafficking through his connections with another dealer.
Allegations have also been raised in court of more widespread corruption within the Dang Wangi drug squad, to which Insp Nurjib is assigned.
Lawyers for Bird say the prosecution has failed to prove the case against him.

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Plan Romantic Wedding At French Estate
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been planning their wedding for the past six months, according to Britain's Daily Express. The A-list couple will hold their nuptials at Chateau Miraval, their 35-room mansion and vineyard near the village of Correns in Provence, France.
The country has special meaning for the couple. In 2008 Angelina gave birth to their twins, daughter Vivienne Marcheline and son Knox Leon, in Nice. The star's mom, Marcheline Bertrand, was also French.
It will be a phenomenal guest list that will reportedly include such mega stars as George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp and Matt Damon.
On Friday Pitt's manager confirmed that the actor and Angelina Jolie were engaged. The jeweler who designed Angie's ring had released a statement saying that the ring was, indeed, an engagement ring.
The couple have been together for seven years and have six children together.
The actors are considering a second movie collaboration in director Ridley Scott's new film "The Counselor." They met on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."
