What is the best miter saw setup?7/24
Is the Festool worth it?
I am looking at the new virutex combo chop saw and rip saw. our work is mostly ultra modern here in south florida and I do not need a large crosscut capacity and I need to rip toekicks and fillers. this can replace my 12" Makita crosscut and bosch table saw. Harold.
How do you like the Makita chop saw?
Pat, We've got an old Makita 14" miter saw that has been very durable. Not a match to our Omga though.
Pat, the chop saw is a 12" sliding model. had it for years and it is great. We used to do alot of crown mouldings, but now that are work is all modern, its kinda big for just 4.5" toekicks and 2" top trim. The new Virutex model is a chopsaw with a table top and fence that uses the same blade. It should be adequate for our needs to rip fillers and toekicks as well as crosscut, all with one tool. Harold.
Yea Larry but how portable is the Omga?
Portable is a relative term. In this case relative to how big your gorilla is! It's too heavy but really accurate. We've got a variety of miter saws. Biggest capacity is a DeWalt slide, but you have to hold your mouth just right when cutting. That just might be the nature of the ones with all the adjustments.
Are you setting up an install van?
Yes, I need to get a miter/slide saw.
I don't like anything Dewalt makes.
The short list is Makita, Bosch, Festool
Unless I hear otherwise I have a hard time seeing the value of a Festool.
I like almost everything Makita makes, and the Bosh jigsaw and the Bosh portable table saw.
The new Bosh slide miter saw is neat as it uses a hinge system instead of tubes. But not sure it is the go to.
I owned the Bosch 12" dual glide for about 4 years. After fighting the dust collection with homemade shrouds even while hooked up to the vacuum I sold it off to help fund the kapex purchase. I didn't think the dual glide could be beat until I got used to the dual laser setup and accuracy of the bevel gauges. I'm about two months into the kapex and love it. The lasers wrap around non square moldings making it literally a walk up and cut scenario on the first try.
I'd give the kapex a shot, they give a 30 day money back guarantee.
Thanks Josh
Yes, Festool is worth the money. I have bought Hitatchi, Dewalt and Makita saws in the past few years. I got sick of adjusting fences at least once a month. I bought my Kapex 18 months ago and have never had to adjust anything, it is always dead on. I am going to buy another one to put in the trailer for installs. The best thing is, I don't have to have these conversations every years as to what saw I should try.
Thanks Daryl
I don't know about the laser aspect but most 12" saws I've used are about the same except......I like to pull the guard up a little bit with my thumb to see exactly where that blade is hitting. Sometimes 32's count. The dewalt guard is built so I can do that easily. The others that I've used aren't.
Thanks Joe, cept I hate all things Dewalt, I will say though the newer ones have a shadow line that is quite handy.
I bought the festool Kapex for the shop , was not impressed with the accuracy. One thing it does it kept its value on the second hand market. For onsite we have dewalts 717. In the shop we are going to the Omga saws . These dewalt 717 are as accurate as the Kapex. Maybe I was expecting too much from the Kapex , due to the success we have had with all the other festool tools
What Dan said. The kapex has slop (side to side) like all the rest of the saws so the user must learn to use the saw and not pull to left or right as saw comes down into the cut. It excels at dust collection though. The lasers are nice I guess but I'm used to the sneak up method anyway. I have an omga chop saw for the very important cuts. I'd get the kapex for dust extraction alone though. Other than that, I've been perfectly happy with a makita 10". 12" adds too much blade wobble. Add blade stabilizers and you're left with a 10" capacity blade plus or minus.
Thanks for all of the feedback.
I looked at the Kapex today.
The rep said that the saw is commonly horsed and not allowed to go at it's own pace which created/contributes to the slop.
The dust collection appears to be very effective.
The lasers are awesome and would be great for odd angles. I particularly like how fine the lines are.
The controls are also awesome particularly the micro adjustments.
Another factor is the weight as it is very light.
Although an intangible there is something about using German made machinery that makes it pleasure to use.
BTW you guys aren't saying you use an Omga in the field are you?
Check out the little Makita slider. It has a lot going for it as an install saw: light, very accurate, no deflection on the little blade.
Thanks for all of the feedback that was very helpful.
I bought the Makita 10" sliding miter saw with a Bosh stand.
Hitachi C10FSH is my favorite. I have had one in the shop 9 years now and millions of cuts and still accurate.
I have two of those Hitachis, one for 10 years as well, and have yet to use another saw I like better.
We had two of those hitachi saws , they were stolen in 08 , and not quite sure why we never replaced them , they were great saws,. One thing we did learn was we didn't need a 12" saw all that often. We have one if needed but a 10" we found is more accurate due to the smaller blade .Evven though we use the best blades possible there is more deflection in a 12" which causes a bad cut in certain woods.
I'm in the market for a new saw as well. The Festool is out of my price range.
Out of all of the new ones I liked the design and stiffness of the Milwaukee 12" slider. I have been using the 12 for 15 years and have a couple of Forrest blades so I won't be going for a smaller one.
The hinged Bosch wasn't stiff when fully extended.
I've never liked Makita chopsaws. Any other worth while options? Does anyone have any real world experience with the 12" Milwaukee?
So far the survey says:
1 Virutex
2 Omga (but you have to have a strong helper)
3 Kapex
2 agin the Kapex
2 Dewalt
1 agin the Bosh
3 Makita (not including me)
3 Hitachi
1 agin the Makita
I have the Festool in my home shop and I like it. I found DeWalt saws to be the worst. The fence doesn't come straight from the factory and the blade slides to the side if you try to trim less than 3/16" off the end of a board. The biggest reason I bought the Festool was for the dust collection. The other reason was that I had confidence that the fence was going to be straight. I don't mind adjusting the saw for a square cut, but that becomes impossible with a crooked fence.
I bought the Kapex for its light weight portability and portable dust collection. It does not travel well or at least I would not call it rugged . Too many plastic parts for such an expensive saw. I had to replace parts the first year because it could not take riding in my trailer folded in the vertical stand. I now travel with it laying down and adjust the bevel adjustment to rest against other parts so it is not changing position when going over rough roads.
One more for and agin the Kapex
I had the kapex but sold it. As others have mentioned, dust collection was excellent. Accuracy was pretty good. My biggest issue was the handle/trigger/button configuration. I just couldn't get used to the vertical style handle, felt very akward to me. Maybe I've just used the dewalts too long. I kept on a rather tall table, so that may have contributed.
The natural position for the arm and hand is in the vertical position.. Dewalts seem awkward to me. LOL Everybodys diffirent.
I think this is another one of the Dodge,Ford,Chevy,Toyota type deals
My Toyotas have never failed me but Chevy and Ford sure have.
If I were ever to buy another SCMS I would buy the Bosch Glide. The Kapex has too much flexure for my liking. Ive owned three bosch SCMS and currently use the 5412L but if I ever upgrade it will be to the glide.
just sold my kapex would never stay square and after 5 years needed new motor and gear box tried 2 new glides both sucked had to much play in the glide and the tables where not flat
The comments about a 12" VS a 10" blade not having as good a cut get me. Unless there is slop in the arbor/pivots the blade change of 1" in radius really shouldn't matter. We don't install so our OMGA is for shop use. It is 300mm (12"+-) The cut is very nearly slick, both sides of the Leuco blade. It has been used as the main miter saw in a production shop for 15 years. Miter adjustments are easy and stay where put. A tad heavy @ about 50's.
I do not sell tools or work for Milwaukee, I have a cabinet shop and another shop where we do all our finishig. I could talk for an hour about all the great qualitys of the 12" Milwaukee.
Number one reason I chose that saw over all the other competitors including the kpex is the stiffness is superior to all of them. The sideways movement of your slide saw is where you win or loose on the quality and accuracy of your cut!
You can instantly compare the saws if you can test them all in the same place.
The key test is to bring the head all the way towards you, lock the slide, lower and "pin" the cutting head in the down position. Now grab the front adjusting knob ( left -right ) pivot control. With your other hand grab the cutting head . Hold the base firmly while moving, testing the cutting head for deflection!!
Milwaukie is stiffer, has less deflexion then any of them. The kapex design with their wide spread bars should have been the winner. Not so.
I can't believe how handy the digitial readout in one thenth of a degree is in speeding/adjusting my cuts . Let alone being able to return confidetly to my previous cut. Dust collection works great.
There are two mitersaws that beat the Milwaukee for stiffness, but they are in the $2500 to $3500 range and usually you only see them in shops.
A little late to the party.....
Just my two cents.....
Oh yes , I forgot to mention it has 2 lights, one on either side of the blade. The trouble with lasers are that in low light conditions the line is so wide and bright you no longer have a fine line for accurate cuts! Not all of my job sites are well lit. In commercial work often your ahead of the electricians.
Good to know, if it had been 8 months ago I would have considered it.
Generally Milwaukee was a good brand but these days I go with Makita.
But I do agree with you about the stiffness which is not going to happen with a single pivot point. To achieve that you have to have an A frame design IMO.
Previously the winner was makita. And for that reason makita is the saw I owned and enjoyed. I really wanted them to win again as there new saw had a 15" slide. But not as stiff as the red saw. The Bosch was silky smooth and a truley new design, but once again not as stiff.
Years ago when our shop had a radial arm saw. No matter how I adjusted it, it would not hold square. I bolted the base to a cement wall. Then with a 3/4" sheet of plywood made into a triangle with the one side anchored to the wall just above the saw . I attached the arm to the plywood and forced it to cut square. That's all it would cut but it was worthless for anything else anyway.
If our work looks bad so do we.....I hate poor quality tools.....

Viralytics gets positive results for cavatek
Singapore: Viralytics, a company listed in the Australian Securities Exchange, has received positive preliminary data in bladder cancer in its collaboration with Professor Hardev Pandha's research team at the University of Surrey, UK. Initial findings indicate the presence of widespread ICAM-1 on the surface of human bladder cancer tissues. Viralytics' lead oncolytic virus Cavatak TM is based on demonstrated performance in targeting ICAM-1 receptors on the surface of cancer cells.
Cavatak TM binds to the ICAM-1 receptor and works its way into the cancer cells. Phase I trial results have shown that after injection of Cavatak TM, a number of patients' melanoma lesions appear to stabilise or reduce in size. There is also evidence of possible immune activation in patients with reductions in injected lesions. Injected Cavatak TM virus clears from circulation within about 48 hours with possible secondary viral replication. In other words the mild virus keeps on working in patients as it is designed to persist in targeting cancer cells.
"These findings are very encouraging in our quest to enter early phase clinical evaluation of Cavatak TM for the treatment of patient with superficial bladder cancer. Novel therapeutic strategies are urgently needed in the indication as evidenced by the current worldwide shortage of a Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG), a common treatment for this condition," said Professor Pandha.
Professor Pandha is the Head of Oncology at The University of Surrey and is an internationally recognised researcher and opinion-leader in virotherapy. He has published extensively on the pre-clinical and clinical activity of oncolytic viruses.
Viralytics has since advanced to a phase II melanoma study using intratumourally injected Cavatak TM under an Investigational New Drug application allowed by the US FDA. In this study 13 subjects have so far been dosed in the phase II Cavatak TM trial with three demonstrating immune-related progression-free survival at six months.

Kennedy Krieger helps, motivates running festival participants
Men injured through different circumstances to overcome disabilities
If you're thinking about entering the Baltimore Running Festival this year but can't find the right inspiration, the story of two disabled men challenging themselves to get past the "I can't's" in life with the help of a well-known organization might help.
"Here, you don't hear the word 'can't.' You hear 'why not,'" said Kennedy Krieger patient Jerry Sersen.
It's why for a second year, Sersen will do the 5K in this year's Baltimore Running Festival. Sersen was hit by a car when he was 4 years old and told he would never walk after his teen years, but he said the folks at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore have made all the difference.
"You don't know what it's like to have the life that I've lived, having everybody tell you 'You can't do this,' 'You can't do that.' And then come down to Kennedy and have them make it worthwhile -- make it possible," Sersen told 11 News.
Jeremy Wells knows what Sersen means. He's been getting physical therapy at Kennedy Krieger since November, when he was paralyzed from the waist down during a motorcycle crash.
"A year ago, I wasn't even injured. If you had told me I would have been in a wheelchair doing some hand-cycle marathon and raising money and things like that, it would have been funny. I would have laughed," Wells said.
Having only ever run a 5K, Wells said he plans to win the hand-cycle division at the race in two weeks.
"When something does happen to you -- it's not that you're hearing about it from a friend of a friend or an acquaintance -- when it does happen to you, it really changes things a lot," Sersen said.
"They're two stories out of thousands that we have here at Kennedy Krieger of recovery and getting back into life," said physical therapist Erin Michael, who works with Wells and Sersen and is part of Team Kennedy Krieger, which is 292 strong for the Running Festival, with 24 patients inspiring the staff.
Team Kennedy Krieger is already ahead of last year's total of more than $90,000 raised, which helped pay for six new hand-bikes like the one Wells is using.
"The team is not about the money. The team is about the patients and what they're accomplishing, but the money helps us get there," Michael said.
The money that's raised will go toward therapy equipment and scholarships to help other patients get involved in running, walking or hand-cycling.
"This race is not about time. It's not about winning. This race is about completing the race to show others with disabilities that they can do it, too," Sersen said.
"It's running, but I can't run. I can't stand up. So, to cross the finish line is certainly going to be an accomplishment," Wells said.

Ahead of Walk In My Shoes day this Friday, Hot Press have posted their recent interview with Adam.
Walk In My Shoes, an initiative of St. Patrick's University Hospital, Dublin, is all about raising funds and awareness of mental health issues facing young Irish people.
As well as talking in depth about the taboos surrounding mental health, Adam also talks about the work he and the band are doing in the studio - and some of the music he's been listening to. He namechecks albums by The Tribes, The Vaccines, The Villagers, The Original Rudeboys and The Maccabees.
'The Tribes album, Baby, is one I keep coming back to. The Vaccines have that garage-y Ramones thing going on, which I'm a sucker for. The Villagers album is great - Conor J. O'Brien is an incredibly talented guy. I made a bit of a connection today at the Walk In My Shoes launch with The Original Rudeboys - they have a lot of energy. A band I really like and got to see in London recently are The Maccabees. They sound quite tough on record, but live are a bit… not wimpy, sensitive!'
So there's five to watch from Adam but while you wait for the next U2 album what five bands are you getting into? What album are you loving right now? Who've you caught live that blew you away? In the comments below, spread the word on the five acts and five records you're into in 2013.

Bands I love besides U2!I'm a huge fan of The Chevin from Otley, outside of Leeds, England! I can't stop listening to their debut album Borderland, and they are so amazing live! Their sound has been compared to U2/The Killers/Coldplay/Keane. Must check them out!!! Also love New Jersey band The Gaslight Anthem, they rock! And listening to Zane Carney's solo stuff on youtube, he's so talented; his brother Reeve plays Spiderman on Broadway! I actually found out about Carney because of Bono and The Edge's work with Spiderman, so thanks! I'm also listening to some Thirty Seconds to Mars, The Airborne Toxic Event, Muse, and a great but less well known British rock band Officer Kicks, give them a listen too, they're excellent!

5 bands I've seen live, thanks to U2The Script - I first saw/heard them when they supported U2 in Dublin in 2009. Danny (lead singer) won me over with his reaction to the crowd singing 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved', and I have now seen them for their own shows 7 more times on various tours, including 2 times this past weekend! The Swell Season/Glen Hansard - After returning home from the Dublin 360 shows, I was devouring all things Irish and happened to pick up a copy of 'Once' on DVD, instantly falling in love with their music, and have since been lucky enough to see them live. (Plus, of course, Bono joins Glen for his annual Xmas Eve busking session in Grafton St!) Elbow - 'One Day Like This' was played over the PA while the U2 crew did final set up/sound checks on the Aussie leg of 360. On the awesomeness of that song alone, I decided to go and see them (twice!) when they toured Aus in 2012, and like The Script and The Swell Season, I now count them as one of my fave bands. Bombay Bicycle Club - Supported Elbow on their Aus tour, which I would never have gone to had it not been for the above story. The Original Rudeboys - These Dublin lads supported The Script on their recent Aussie tour, and as Adam mentioned in the above article, 'they have a lot of energy', which combined with their unique acoustic hip hop sound, won them a lot of fans, including me, and their album 'This Life' has been on repeat pretty much ever since. Special mentions to; Jay-Z who supported U2 on their Aussie tour in 2010, and after an initial negative reaction from a lot of fans when it was first announced, won the crowd over night after night, and if given the opportunity, I would gladly see him again for his own shows. Florence + the Machine whose 'Dog Days Are Over' song was also played over the PA as the U2 crew was setting up in Aus, and who I subsequently saw when she toured last year.

Quarterly.co is a subscription service that has found some creative thinkers, bloggers and creators of lovely things - and offered them a channel to share what they produce with us. Or, put more simply, for $25 a quarter a clever person sends you something that will hopefully interest, amazed or make you feel good.
The team behind this new venture put it best, when they describe Quarterly.co as a sort of physical manifestation of social media. You get more than just a blog post, more than tweets and links:
Quarterly is a new way to connect with the people you follow and find interesting. We spend so much of our lives connecting with people online that we forget the value of tangible interactions that happen in the real world. Quarterly wants to bridge that gap by allowing anyone to subscribe to influential contributors and receive physical items in the mail from them. It's like a magazine, but instead of receiving words on a page, our subscribers receive actual items that tell a compelling story crafted by the contributor.
You can seea list of the contributors here, and subscribe right away.
This concept is a winner for me. In fact, I'd love to see this type of service set up for children. I know my geeklets get a real thrill from their magazine subscriptions to Australia' Double Helix club or the LEGO club. There is something wonderful about tangible, real things you can hold when so much of our world and what we do is virtual. It is why I've previosuly written about Supermechanical and their Tableau prototype.
There is certainly a gap there for some one to fill - providing fun, physical geeky activites for children to do with their parents using the Quartly.co model.
So, Quarterly.co - or someone else - give us the children's version. I'm interested.

A Tailorable Nanotube, Formed by a Ring-shaped Protein
Contact: Dan Krotz, (510) 486-4019
There's a new building block in the nanoscience tool box. Scientists at Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry used a recently discovered, donut-shaped protein to build customizable nanotubes that can be lengthened, shortened, or sealed at both ends to form capsules.
A research team that includes the Molecular Foundrys Ron Zuckermann developed self-assembling nanotubes that can be customized in a number of ways. The scientists utilized a protein discovered in 2006 (shown on the computer monitor) that is relatively easy to express and manipulate. Six Hcp1 proteins combine to form a donut-shaped ring, which can be stacked on top of each other to form a tube. The binding sites used to fashion the rings into tubes are red.
Although still in the early investigational stage, these tailorable nanotubes could someday be used in a number of applications in which the ability to manipulate a nanotube's length and chemical properties is critical. Perhaps they'll be used as scaffolds to guide the construction of nanoscale wires and other devices. Or perhaps they'll be used as drug-delivery vehicles that target disease at the molecular scale.
The nanotube's versatility stems from the unique characteristics of its protein building block. The protein, Hcp1, naturally forms donut-shaped structures, which in turn can be stacked on top of each other like a toddler's set of toy rings to form a tube. In addition, the nanotube's interior and exterior can be chemically modified to bind with specific molecules, giving it a powerful functionality.
"We can work with this protein almost like an engineer," said Ron Zuckermann, who is the Facility Director of the Biological Nanostructures Facility in the Molecular Foundry. "The protein also possesses a hierarchical structure: six of them first come together to form a ring, then these rings come together to form a tube. This is unusual and potentially very useful for building nanoscale, biologically inspired structures."
Zuckermann developed the nanotube with Edward Ballister, also with the Molecular Foundry; Joseph Mougous of the University of Washington; and Yifan Cheng and Angela Lai of the University of California at San Francisco.
Their work has its origins in a discovery Mougous made in 2006. While studying a bacterium called Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is implicated in pneumonia and other diseases, he came across a never-before-seen protein called Hcp1. The protein's function in the bacterium isn't known, but its crystal structure caught Mougous' attention: six of the proteins link together to form a donut-shaped ring. Further examination revealed that these rings stack top to bottom to form a honeycomb lattice, which is very suggestive of tube formation.
Although puzzling from a microbiology perspective, Mougous realized that the protein's inclination to assemble itself into a complex structure could be useful in the burgeoning field of nanoscience, which is on the lookout for building blocks that are easy to manipulate. With this in mind, he came to Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry, a U.S. Department of Energy national user facility aimed at the development of nanotechnology.
Scientists who assemble nanostructures love to find building blocks like the Hcp1. Add a few cysteines here and there, create the optimal conditions, and voila: the donut-shaped proteins form tailorable nanotubes that can be lengthened, shortened, or adorned with molecules that give the tubes specific functions.
At the Molecular Foundry, the team steered the protein's tendency to self-assemble toward the development of nanotubes. First, using a technique called mutagenesis, they substituted two amino acids that reside on the top and bottom of the donut-shaped structure with cysteines, which are amino acids that can form disulfide bonds. Next, they optimized the conditions that foster disulfide bond formation, coaxing the rings to bind together in solution — one on top of the other — courtesy of the specially engineered cysteines.
"They line up just as we'd hope they would and form a tube. There are lots of ways for this to go wrong, but with this protein it works," said Zuckermann.
The result is a self-assembling nanotube with an interior pore that measures four nanometers in diameter (one nanometer is one-billionth of a meter). With this success, the team next tackled customization. They developed ways to control a nanotube's length using a specially prepared Hcp1 protein that prevents the tube from adding more rings. This allows the scientists to change the nanotube's length and therefore its interior volume. They developed nanotubes that are different at each end. And they developed large molecules that plug both ends of the nanotube, creating a capsule-like chamber.
"With these developments, we can start thinking about encapsulating something inside the nanotube, and placing targeting molecules on the outside that determine where it goes, which would be required in a drug-delivery vehicle," said Zuckermann.
The promise of using protein nanotubes to attack disease, or serve as nanoscale construction scaffolds, is due to the relative ease with which the building block, Hcp1, can be expressed and manipulated. Hcp1 enables the construction of nanotubes that can be structurally customized and chemically modified. They can be adorned with molecules, and they are potentially compatible with biological systems — two traits that are difficult to achieve in carbon and inorganic nanotubes.
"The protein is great for bionanoengineering. All of the information needed to construct a complex structure, like tailorable nanotubes, is embedded in the protein," said Zuckermann.
The scientists' research is detailed in a study entitled "In vitro Self-assembly of Tailorable Nanotubes from a Simple Protein Building Block," which was reported in the March 11, 2008 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research was supported in part by the Department of Energy.

PCM5102A datasheet, "The serial audio interface typically has 4 connections SCK (system master clock), BCK (bit clock), LRCK (left right word clock) and DIN (data). The device has an internal PLL that is used to take either SCK or BCK and create the higher rate clocks required by the interpolating processor and the DAC clock. This allows the device to operate with or without an external SCK."
I'm not sure the clicking noise you heard was this or not. But definitely worth trying.Quote:
When testing with the Convolution object by DerekR I experienced strange crackling noises. Could it be that this is caused by this?
I will try to connect SCL of the DAC to pin23 of the Teensy 4.0.

At her testimony at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence Wednesday, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords posted spoke movingly on the need for Congress to come together to find sensible solutions to continued gun violence.
Following the hearing, the handwritten notes Giffords used to give her statement were posted on the Facebook page for Americans for Responsible Solutions, the organization started by Giffords and her husband Capt. Mark Kelly.
Thank you for inviting me here today. This is an important conversation. For our children. For our communities. For Democrats and Republicans. Speaking is difficult but I need to say something. Gun violence is a big problem. Too many people are dying. Too many children. We must do something. It will be hard. But the time is now. You must act. Be bold. Be courageous. Americans are counting on you. Thank you!

We don't always want to think about being environmentally responsible all the time, especially when we're tossing back a few with our friends. But it's not that hard to make a few small choices that won't disrupt the fun.
- Consider trying an organic beer or two. The ingredients that are most common in beer – barley, hops and sometimes wheat - are heavily laden with insecticides, fungicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers when commercially grown. All of these are bad for the environment. The ingredients for organic beer should not be grown with any of those – leaving the earth (not to mention you) a little bit healthier.
- An alternative to organic beer when looking to leave less of an impact on the earth with your beer is to buy a local brew. It may not be organic, but it won't have to travel far to get to you. The fancy imports that you drink may be really tasty, but they leave quite a carbon footprint getting from their home to yours. Buy buying local, the energy and fuel needed to transport the beer is decreased dramatically.
- When at a restaurant, order beer on tap. Many restaurants do not recycle their bottles because it's either a hassle or they don't want to pay the fee to have them hauled off. By ordering beer from the tap, there is a good chance you'll save at least one bottle from ending up in a landfill.
- At your next party, get a keg instead of individual bottles or cans. Kegs are 100% reusable, you won't have to worry about where to put all those empties until you can recycle them, and a keg will probably save you money. And while, yes, glass and cans are fully recyclable, recycling them takes energy and resources. By going with a keg, you'll save the energy and resources that would have been used to recycle your empties
- Recycle your empties. This may seem like a no-brainer but I'm still surprised at how many people don't do it – even when they have curbside recycling programs. If you don't have curbside recycling or your apartment complex doesn't have a program, you can find out where to take any glass or cans that need to be recycled by going to Earth911. By entering your zip code, you can find the nearest recycling center.

So Who Was Our First President?
A few weeks ago when we were still discussing the formation of the United States government we were reviewing the content by looking at a time line I had written on the board. This is what I had written:
*First Continental Congress-September 5, 1774 to October 26, 1774
*Second Continental Congress- May 10, 1775 to March 1, 1781
*Articles of Confederation-March 1, 1781 to March, 4, 1789
*Battle of Yorktown/British surrender-October 19, 1781
*Treaty of Paris-1783
*Constitution-March 4, 1789 to present day
One of my more astute students looked at a time line I had on the board and made an observation. He said, "George Washington couldn't be our first president."
All of a sudden those students who were simply pretending to pay attention sat up and took notice. Someone was calling into question one of the first things they had learned back in the early days of kindergarten and they wanted to hear what I would say.
"Really, why would you say that, Jordan?" I asked.
"Well, George Washington became president after the Constitution was written."
I asked the class, "Is Jordon right?" They nodded in agreement and a few said yes out loud.
"Go on," I prompted Jordan.
"Well, you told us that the Articles of Confederation was our first plan of government, and if that's true then someone was leading our government then."
Several students looked as if they were pondering this in their own minds for a minute and all of a sudden light bulbs were popping on above almost everyone's heads. Several hands shot up.
"What about the time before the Articles?" asked one student.
"What about during the Revolution? We weren't listening to what the British told us to do," countered another.
A third student said, "Yeah, like we'd listen to them while we're fighting them, duhhhhhhh"
"Wasn't George Washington leading the army?" said one of my more quiet girls.
"He was leading the army but not everything else. He couldn't do everything," said Jordon, the one who had started our discussion.
Cody was nodding as he said, "Yeah, remember? Washington had to ask Congress for stuff."
Everyone began talking at once and I let them go back and forth for just a minute before I rang my bell. I have one of those old fashioned customer bells you see on counters in places like the dry cleaners. Students know my quiet signal is a tap on the bell. Once the room was quiet I turned back to the board and wrote one word…..context.
I asked, "What does this word mean to you?"
One of my language arts stars raised her hand, "Is it like context clues? You know, where the reading gives us hints for an unknown word's meaning."
"Ummmmm, your right about context clues, but that's not where I want to go right now," I said.
I turned back to the board and wrote the definition to "context". The circumstances in which an event occurs, a setting appeared on the board. I continued speaking, "If we want to be truly be correct about the whole thing we need to know what our starting point is, and we need to know what we mean by the word president. When was the United States a recognized country? When was the moment it existed for the first time? Was there a president of the First or Second Continental Congress? What were the duties of the leader? Did the Articles of Confederation designate a president with the same rights and powers as the Constitution? What is the difference between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution? Boys and girls, in order to determine the answer to this question you must look at the history….the facts."
The First Continental Congress met in reaction to the Intolerable Acts passed by the British Parliament. Records indicate the proceedings were led by Peyton Randolph and later by Henry Middleton. The main accomplishments of the First Continental Congress were to formalize a boycott across the thirteen colonies as well as stop exports to Great Britain. It was during the First Continental Congress that open warfare began with the skirmish at Lexington and Concord in 1775.
The Second Continental Congress directed the patriot cause during the American Revolution. A leader, referred to as president, did control the body and would have had duties similar to what our Speaker of the House of Representatives would have today. They could not debate, would vote last, and unlike today's Speaker of the House, could appoint delegates to committees. The presidents of the Second Continental Congress were Peyton Randolph, John Hancock, Henry Laurens, John Jay, and Samuel Huntington.
Under the Articles of Confederation the delegates were referred to as the Congress of the Confederation or the United States in Congress Assembled. The first delegates to the Congress of the Confederation were the same delegates who had finished up with the Second Continental Congress. This new body took control of the decision making during the last days of the American Revolution. They saw us through the Battle of Yorktown and eventually the Treaty of Paris where Britain finally recognized the United States. This body also managed to formulate a plan to begin settlement of the Northwest Territory and was smart enough to finally admit the Articles of Confederation was not the best plan of government if the United States was to survive. The leader of the Congress of the Confederation was not the chief executive as laid out in the current Constitution, but several men held the job. They were Samuel Huntington, Thomas McKean, John Hanson, Elias Boudinot, Thomas Mifflin, Richard Henry Lee, John Hancock, Nathaniel Gorham, Arthur St. Clair, and Cyrus Griffin.
The First and Second Continental Congresses controlled patriot actions before and during the Revolutionary War while the Articles of Confederation was our first plan of government. It can be argued that the men in charge of both of the Continental Congresses and the government official who was the leader during the time period of the articles could be precursors to the office of president. It just all depends on the time period that is being examined and what the definition of president being used. The correct title for George Washington would be first president of the United States under the U.S. Constitution.
The other men mentioned in this article all served their country in a most valiant effort risking life and property in order to perform their duties. They should all be taught and remembered for the importance they hold in our nation's formative years. However, the argument that there were fourteen presidents before George Washington does not pass muster as these men were not president with the same rights and powers given by the U.S. Constitution.
There is a great link to a lesson plan regarding John Hanson as the first president here. There are several links to primary sources even if you don't need the lesson plan itself.

Nice post! Thanks.

Snopes says: false.
- Jennie W said...
I went and read the link that Darren posted after I read the post (adding to what I already knew). And you say the same thing...Washington was the first "president," but we had leaders before him. I think it is important to teach how we became a country and who led us a different times...which includes the Articles of Confederation. Washington's presidency came about because of the need for central leadership.
- Runemaker said...
Those guys who came before Washington were all Brits. Some of them were born in America, but officially they were still British subjects, however reluctant and rebellious they may have been.
My understanding of the rules is that only a native born American can hold the office of President.
And if that holds true, it has to be Washington

Thank you i really needed this info because my math teacher asked an extra credit question for Friday's test so i needed to know who the actual first president was.

i brliev this is jus tcrazy john hanso waz th3 president
To answer your question- When was the moment it [the United States of America] existed for the first time? The United States of America existed for the first time in the Declaration of Independence making John Hancock the first President of the United States of America as Hancock was President at the time when the Declaration of Independence was signed.

For many years, the 4 minute mile was considered not only physically IMPOSSIBLE, but according to doctors and orthopedics in new london of the time – actually dangerous to the health of anyone who attempted it. So the little amount of kratom is good for health. So, who is Green Malay Kratom for? This potent strain is an excellent choice for anyone who is looking for the best, and long-lasting pain relief, mood enhancement, and energy boost. It also packs a decent range of excellent benefits that any user would find very useful. You can check here the details information about the green malay kratom.
But then on May 6th, 1954 a 25-year-old medical student named Roger Bannister – smashed through the 4 minute barrier in what Forbes magazine has called the "Greatest athletic achievement of the last 150 years".
When reflecting on the event many years later, Bannister said that at the time:
"There was a mystique, a belief that it couldn't be done"
But as soon as he proved what was possible, other runners began smashing the barrier as well. By 1957, 16 runners had run sub 4 minute miles!
The 4 Minute Mile Of Internet Marketing…
Now you may be wondering what the four minute mile has to do with Internet marketing.
Well… for me, watching the following video was a lot like watching Roger Bannister smash through the 4 minute mile.

1. Q: How to distinguish Human Hair Wigs and Synthetic Wigs?
A:Compare the price
That is very obvious: with the same style and length, Human hair wigs are much more expensive than synthetic ones. Therefore, If your human hair wig is relatively cheap, you may need to consider whether it's blended with synthetic fiber or the hair that collected to make this wig is not of a healthy quality.
Identify the material
Burn/Singe the hair and smell: Choose a small strand of hair and burn it. If the hair is 100% human hair, it smells like a barbecue; if not, it smells like plastic.Check the ashes after burning the hair. If the hair is 100% human hair, you can twist the ashes to turn it into powder; if not, the ashes will remain in tact.
2. Q: How can I choose the color and the size?
A:To help you shop for the right color online it's just as easy as in a store, please refer to our hair color chart after you have found the style you like.
As for the cap size, we all know that measuring your head size is an important task to endeavor prior to ordering a wig. Please carefully measure your head size and choose the proper cap size following our cap size guide.
3. Q: Can I curl or straighten my wig?
A:Of course you can if you purchase our human hair wigs for the ultimate styling versatility - you can curl or straighten them as you would your own hair. However, just like our own hair, the less heat you use the better.
Synthetic wigs, on the other hand, can be irreparably damaged if you try to curl or straighten the hair with heated tools, except occasionally with some heat friendly wigs.
4. Q: How do I apply a wig?
A:To perfectly apply a wig is not easy.
First, you need to pin your hair up.
Then, use a wig cap on any type of hair length to hold it all in place and to ensure a smooth fit. Even if you are bald, we recommend you still use a wig cap - it will help with friction and ensure the wig stays on.
Next, put the wig on your head from front to back. There are two tabs on each front/side of the wig. Position them right in front of your ears.
Don't worry if it doesn't look perfect right away. Go ahead and style/brush it into place the way you'd like it to look.
5. Q: How should I care for my wigs?
A:Looking after your human hair wigs is very important in order to increase the life of them.
6. Q: Does your wigs have baby hairs?
A:Yes. Both our human hair wigs and synthetic wigs have baby hairs on the front and at the back of the wigs.
7. Q: Will I look natural with the human hair wig?
A:Yes, you will look very natural with our lace wigs because firstly the hair is hand-tied to the lace which will make the hair look exactly like growing from your head.Secondly, the hairline of our human hair wigs is very natural as if they are your own scalp.

Hoping to get some answers as to why I,m having connection problems in my living room I purchased InSSIDer Office.
But having a link score of 100% on my screen doesn't mean my connection problems are gone.
Even lifting my laptop for 50cm shows an massive improvement in throughput although InSSIDer shows no difference whatsoever.
I'm on a 'clean' 5Ghz channel (as far as InSSIDer shows me). Why do I have connection problems in my living room? What tool can give me the answer if InSSIDer can't?

mSess was created due to an oddity in PHP5 that caused unreliable sessions. While not exhaustively proven, there was some evidence that the internal serializer/deserializer in PHP was having problems with certain types of data, especially when larger amounts of data were packed into the $_SESSION super-global.
The net effect was mysterious, silent truncations in session data that were "inexplicable". Manual serialization efforts frequently returned errors on particular byte ranges.
While we could have modified the php.ini settings to make it use the built-in WDDX serializer to address this, we wanted to take the opportunuty to develop a MySQL backend for use in projects that needed to work on shared hosts, with privacy issues due to session data being stored in plain text files in globally accessible temp folders.
The end result is mSess, featuring:
Installation of mSess is simple. Just include it:
In your PHP script and create as many instances of the mSess object as you need (you need to configure each one, of course).
You will also need to create the database tables needed by mSess. The schema is located in the create_sessions_storage.sql file included in the downloadable archive. Load it into the database of your choosing and it will create a new table called "sessions". By design, several web-sites/apps may share a single sessions database/table as long as the PHP session manager can keep track of unique session IDs, otherwise users might get served the wrong session data -- BEWARE! Configure accordingly and to taste.
Take a look at the included sample php scripts to get an idea how to use and configure the mSess object. You can see them in action by putting the mSess folder in a web accessible area, and pointing your browser at http://yourserver/mSess/page1.php after setting up the sessions table in your database.
This PHP class has been tested extensively on PHP5.2.5, and should have no problems working with that and better.
Internally, the only "external" requirements are support for the WDDX and MySQLi extensions (yes, we are using the improved extension).
As the distributable version of the class is encoded and encrypted using the IonCube Encoder you will also need to add the IonCube Loader to your extensions by editing your php.ini file. You can get the instructions and download the necessary binaries here:
mSess is provided to the PHP community at large for no cost (see the license agreement -- LICENSE.TXT and LICENSE.PDF -- for complete terms), but it did take time and effort to build and continues to take time and effort to enhance and fix. If you really find it useful or have really benefitted from using it, or you just want to show appreciation please donate USD5.00 to email@example.com with a nice note on how it's helping you. It's a real vote of confidence and encouragement :).

In any case, hope that you will enjoy this piece of software and that it helps you when you need it most!

American and Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least 90 days beyond the intended return date in order to enter and depart the country. Tourists must also provide proof of return or onward travel. Each traveler is responsible for ensuring that his/her passport is up to date. Citizens of other nationalities should check with respective authorities before departure.
Please ensure that the name on your passport matches all travel documents we have issued. If this is not the case, please contact us immediately.
Please make a photocopy of your passport's identification page and keep it separate from your original. It's also a good idea to leave a digital copy with someone at home. This may speed up the replacement process should you lose your passport.
A visa is not required for citizens of the U.S. and Canada for trips of up to 90 days. Citizens from other countries may require a valid visa. These requirements change often and therefore it is best that you check with the Irish Embassy for the most up-to-date visa information.
Cancelation and Medical Insurance is highly recommended as it can safeguard against in-country medical emergencies, lost or delayed baggage and emergency cancelation or interruption of your trip. Medical facilities in Wales are comparable to North American facilities. Please ensure your policy will provide you with upfront medical coverage so that you are not responsible for a hefty medical bill. Insurance can be purchased through us.
We always recommend that you see a doctor or health-care provider who specializes in Travel Medicine. They will best determine your vaccination and medication needs based on your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, planned activities and up-to-the-minute requirement changes. For all vaccinations and health requirements, we also recommend that you consult the World Health Organization (WHO): http://www.who.int or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) http://wwwnc.cdc.gov.
If there are any medical items that are essential to your health, such as prescription drugs or corrective eye wear, bring duplicates and divide them between your checked bags and hand luggage. While non-prescription drugs such as aspirin are generally available, it is difficult to replace prescription items.
Recommended Items:
Overall, the climate in Wales is often cloudy, west, windy, and mild. Wales has a fairly warm temperature throughout the year, and receives rainfalls that tend to be more intense. While some upland areas might experience harsh winters, the coasts are more sheltered and generally experience mild winter weather. For up-to-date forecasts, check weather.com.
Electricity in Wales is supplied at 220-240 Volts . Square, three-pin sockets are standard in Wales. A multi-adaptor with different plug configurations can be very useful. We advise not to bring a hair dryer as it could blow a fuse.
Phone: Roaming charges vary between carriers, but tend to be quite costly. Consult your phone provider prior to departure to discuss overseas rates and international package options. It is also possible to purchase a SIM card locally to avoid international charges when calling numbers within Wales. (You should check to see that your cell phone is SIM card compatible.)
Internet: There are a variety of internet cafes and centers in most urban areas.
Generally speaking, we advise bringing £70-100 per day, per person, for spending money. Be sure to bring lots of small bills for porters, wait staff and housekeeping (not obligatory and based on your satisfaction). Bills come in different colors and denominations: £5, £10, £20, £50 notes available. There are also coins: 1 penny, 2 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence, 20 pence, 50 pence, £1. We recommend that you bring approximately 100 Pounds of spare cash in small denominations to have ready for tips and expenses when you first arrive.
We recommend that you get local currency from your bank before you leave home or from a bank machine in-country which is much cheaper than an exchange service at the airport or in tourist areas. Your bank card may work, but Visa or MasterCard are more widely accepted. You will need a 4-digit PIN to be able to use your cards in Europe.
Capital: Cardiff
Language: English
Currency: Pound Sterling (GBP)
Religion: Catholic
Time Zone: UTC +1
Electricity: 230 volts/50Hz
Telephone: Country code for calling you from outside Wales is +44
Calling North America: Dial 001 and your 10 digit number
Emergency numbers in Wales: 999 or 112 for any type of emergency.

Earlier today Microsoft announced the availability of Windows 8 Consumer Preview. The touch friendly Metro interface for Windows 8 is not restricted to tablets. Microsoft has followed a dual-UI strategy for Windows 8 and replaced the traditional start menu with a Metro version start screen. Since one UI is meant for the traditional keyboard/mouse interaction and the other for finger interaction (no pun intended), Microsoft has shared a simple chart explaining the gestures supported in Windows 8 and what they do along with details about how to perform the same tasks using a mouse:

I have had a couple of parcels (SD card) sent directly from Amazon.com to my address in Auckland.
The tracking on amazon.com tells me these parcels have made it to NZ ("Arrived in destination country") and I get a tracking number which I can use on i-parcel.com to track the parcels. On there, I get: "Consolidation Arrived - Pending Customs Clearance and inbound Scan" for both of them. I should also point out that for one of them this status has been logged on Oct 31 so it was a while ago and nothing has changed.
I am now trying to contact *someone* in NZ to enquire about my parcels.
I phone customs but their answering machine clearly states that they do not track parcels and the say to phone NZ post. I phone NZ post only to find out that they can't do anything with the tracking number that I have as they are not in the required format.
It seems here that nz post uses another parcel number for tracking but I am not sure how to find these numbers out, very convenient...
Anyway, would anyone have any idea as to what I could do to get more information about my parcels? Who should I contact? How can I get these nz-post-compatible tracking numbers?

I can not eat just one...
I actually made these for a Halloween Party which just goes to show how behind I am on posting. In fact today I questioned if I wanted to even wanted to post this. I decided I would go ahead and post them because you can really make these cookies for any occasion or holiday. All you have to do is alter the shape of the cookie using any desired cookie press disk and pick the sprinkles or colored chocolate to match. I used almond extract in these cookies, but you could use vanilla, orange, coconut, lemon, etc. I am a huge fan of almond flavoring so that is almost always what I use when I make these. You can see from the photo above I made one batch using an oval cookie disk. I sandwiched two cookies together using melted chocolate and rolled the edges in sprinkles. In the photo at the end of the post I used a pumpkin shaped disk and drizzled the cooled cookies with orange and green colored candy melts.
Holiday themed Almond Spritz Cookies
modified from Williams-Somona
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Beat together the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and almond extract on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low and add flour a little at a time, beating until well blended.
Fill a cookie press with dough according to its instructions and fit it with the desired-shape disk. Press the dough out onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing the cookies 1 inch apart.
Bake until the cookies are firm to touch, about 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool. Cookies may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. Makes 36 cookies (half as many if you sandwich them together the way I did).
If desired, sprinkle the cookies prior to baking with colored sugar or sprinkles. Other decorating options include baking the cookies as directed above, letting them cool, and drizzling them with colored chocolate.

How Steve Flesch Got His Masters Putting Mojo
−Peter Dobereiner
It wasn't that long ago that Steve Flesch was putting "very poorly."
You wouldn't have known it last week at the Masters. The southpaw was dropping par-saving putts in the throw-up range and beyond like it was no big deal.
According to a piece I read in The Tour Van, Steve replaced his belly putter with a Never Compromise Exchange 5 putter three weeks ago.
"I can be a decent putter with the belly putter," Flesch was quoted as saying, "but I'm not going to be a great putter and run the tables with it. I just kind of made a commitment and said, I'm going back to the short putter and, hey, I might have some struggles early on, but I'll get my feel back."
Steve won twice in 2007, both times with the belly putter. Still, he saw its limitations and made the change that put him in contention at Augusta.
"I think you can significantly reduce your feel, especially on short, breaking putts from five, six feet," he said about his banished belly putter.
−The Armchair Golfer

- Tom Blogical said...
I think the PGA should follow suit and ban all belly/long putters. I think these kinds of putters are maybe OK for training aids, especially the belly putters, but they need to stay outside the ropes.
Especially since the PGA told Sam Snead he couldn't putt croquet style (or was it called straddle style?).
I've never been much for the unconventional grips either, but I think you should be allowed to grip the club any way you want, provided it allows you to strike the ball within the rules.
- The Armchair Golfer said...
I talked to Orville Moody last year, and he reminded me that he was the first (or at least one of the first) to use the long putter on a major tour (Senior Tour). That was about 20 years ago. He took a lot of heat, he said, and the R&A and USGA were strongly considering banning it. A poor putter, it revived Moody's career. He cleaned up for a few years on the Senior Tour with the long putter and his daughter on the bag.
- Tom Blogical said...
Yeah, I could swear that you wrote a piece about him here and made mention of that. It seems funny to me that the USGA and the R&A seem so picky about drivers and irons but not as picky about putters. Maybe that's a mistaken impression.
Your comment reminded me of the conversation about the yips here; did you ever check out Bob Prichard's website, Somax? The analyses were very interesting, and I was able to use the info to my benefit.
