More newbies in Oregon...waiting on rain delayed bees

Hi wise bee keepers from a newbie-
I haven't kept bees since high school, but ever since we purchased our small acreage in Sandy and planted a mini-orchard, I have been thinking how much we need some bees. We never see honey bees around here. I hope that is not a bad sign! I don't see how, because two and a half miles down the road are 100 acres of berry fields and it looks like they rent hives because they show up on "the hill" down HWY 211 towards Eagle Creek every summer. The only other crops that might possibly cause a problem is the christmas trees about two acres away. I think really that the abscense of bees is truly that there are no hives around. Thus, our trees go unpollinated.
My bees are on their way here from California. I was lucky enough to attend the big Bee Day out in Colton this past weekend. We were able to open and inspect several dozen hives (and I got to try out my shiny new bee suit!) and it gave me a good refresher. Also, the other good news is that I won the raffle Grand Prize - a complete lightly used hive donated by the great Helga Moll, including a bottom with runners that keep it off the ground, nine frame bottom box, top feeder (holds two gallons of syrup), two supers with ten frames each, and a queen seperator. The frames all have drawn comb and some contain honey. I believe that this was a good deal because I had two people offer to buy it off me. Plus, I know what I paid for the set up I recently purchased.
I had purchased a complete hive with ten frames and a frame feeder (bare comb frames, only the base with horizontal and vert wires, and a thin layer of wax shaped like comb) from Ruhl Bee supply and was planning on installing my new bees in that. But, I think that it would be better to put them right into the new setup - sans the supers - and use also the frame feeder that holds one gallon of syrup, so I would have three gallons all together. I also have a pollen patty, just in case. But, I live on 8.4 acres, lots of it blackberries and fruit orcharrds as well as grass and wildflowers and I am expecting that all of this preperation is overkill.
I am looking forward to installing for my first time. I think I'll name my queen Sophia - she's Italian:)

Well, it has been a few weeks, wondering how your Oregon bee experience is going? I did enjoy reading your journey and tucked it all away for when mine finally arrived. My package was, thankfully, very friendly. I just couldn't stay away, so I opened it again this morning to put the last frame back in. Found the queen on the second frame I picked up :D
I also have lots of fruit trees and shrubs and wildflowers. But it seemed to me that this morning the colony was kind of weak...I am assuming because it is a little overcast that they are tending to indoor chores. When I opened the hive, it was much livelier inside. All seems well.
So, my question is, do you think that I should feed them more syrup? I had put nearly a gallon inside whn I installed them, but it was almost empty, although the three frames I examined seemed to have syrup in the combs. Just thought I'd ask another local beek! Hope you are still enjoying your experience-

Somehow we never got to say hi.... HI
I tend to make an effort to welcome new members, usually when I see a post that I think I can be helpful in or if someone writes me. Since I've been following this post - not sure why but I've taken a fancy to Denise (I think it's her Lucy Avatar :lol: ) but I saw you here and needed to say howdy.
Totally NON-BEE Related, I'm writing from the motorhome, I dewinterize it and moved my bedroom PC out here for the Spring/Summer/Fall and above my head is the TV tuned to Nascar night race at Richmond, VA and I was just catching up on the forum with some stuff and saw you there.
Here is my favorite toy
- I'll be updating the photo with a shot of the PC in the bedroom vanity area as soon as I can get the camera out.
I'm afraid at $3.00+ a gallon and 9-13mph mileage, most of my camping MIGHT be in the yard this year - well.... some of it anyway. I just enjoy it out here, it really is a nice comfortable and roomy get-away after being couped in the house all Winter.
Peace to you and glad I finally got to say hi!!!!!!

Howdy yvette!
Our ladies are doing great! I'm like you, I HAD to peek a few days ago to see how things were going. I knew our weather was going to stink this entire weekend (typical Oregon springtime) so we looked in after work during the week. They have about 7 of the 10 frames drawn out and it looks gorgeous. Lots of eggs, larvae and capped brood. Picture-perfect so far. I've spotted the queen herself on the last 2 inspections. She really stands out at the moment because the workers are Italian and she is Carniolan. Once her children start taking over for them, she will be harder to spot. Dang it! We named this hive the Romans.
The other hive we named the Barbarians. They are the swarm that took up residence in an empty hive. That one is amazing with activity. An incredible number of bees. Always bustling. I've never seen this queen because of the sheer number of bees. The first honey super is absolutely full of capped honey. Wow! We added another super but it's new with only foundation. We switched 4 of the frames that had capped honey with 4 brand new ones that were only foundation. Hopefully they will start drawing it out. They've been kind of ignoring the entire super so far.
I had the same question about the syrup. The feeder is still on there, but there is plenty of nectar to be had. The apples, blueberries and clover are all blooming. The crimson clover around our area is just beginning to bloom as well. So beautiful to see all those red fields.

Well, I did decide to go ahead and feed the girls some syrup. When I opened it up, the syrup level was so low I couldn't see it, yet there was a huge congregation of bees inside of it. It is a frame feeder that i am talking about. So, I went ahead and filled it up. It looks like it's gonna be cold and rainy the next few days, so they may need the extra warmth.
Thanks for the response! I have been enjoying your post, Denise, because your pictures are just beautiful and you write your story just how I feel about my bees and this whole endeavour. Glad to see you are still enjoying, and please do keep us posted...especially if you are lucky enough to get a good picture of your queen on a frame...
And sorry, Beemaster, I snuck in the back door, here. But thanks for noticing! My main post is under, "OK, so I just installed my bees about half an hour ago"...

I wanted to get a picture of her majesty before the big explosion of new bees obscures the view. There are a couple of her offspring here and there. She is Carniolan so she stands right out. Once her kids really start to take over, it will be harder and harder to spot her.
This was a frame they were just getting drawn out so she was busy laying in the finished cells.

Oh Denise! She's GORGEOUS! I just showed her to my husband. Its funny, mine are opposite, my queen is Italian and all my workers are Carniolan. I'm going to check mine in the morning, I think. I put a second box on and removed the frame feeder. Ten frames now on top and bottom. I have a top feeder right on top of that. Can't wait to see how much comb they can draw in one week. Great picture!

Bitter Taste May Battle Asthma
People with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other breathing disorders need fast relief when their airways tighten up. Unfortunately, the most commonly used medication has obnoxious side effects. But scientists recently discovered that a bitter taste can be a more effective treatment—and now they know why. The work is published in PLoS Biology. [Cheng-Hai Zhang et al., The Cellular and Molecular Basis of Bitter Tastant-Induced Bronchodilation]
When an asthma attack hits, the airway shrinks and makes breathing difficult. To keep air flowing, the sufferer must take medication to relax the passage's muscles and open it back up. But a couple years ago, researchers discovered airways contain bitter taste receptors like the ones on the tongue. After exposure to bitter substances, the receptors can expand the airway more quickly and more effectively than the most commonly used treatment.
Researchers examined airway tissue to learn why bitterness makes the muscles relax. During an asthma attack, calcium flows into the cells of the airway and contributes to muscle contraction. But bitter substances block the channels that allow calcium into cells, which relaxes the tightened tissue. And that's the opposite of a bitter pill.

Fox News commentator Glenn Beck, who's honed being provocative – even outrageous at times – to a fine and lucrative art, is the focus of criticism for inciting violence.
Specifically, his dozens of comments attacking the Tides Foundation are being linked to the attempt by a heavily-armed man to assassinate employees at the San Francisco-based foundation, which funds environmental, human rights, and other progressive projects. The attack in July was thwarted in a shoot-out with police in which two officers were wounded.
Since then, alleged attacker Byron Williams has said in jailhouse interviews that he wanted to "start a revolution." He says Beck was not the direct cause of his turning violent. But he does say: "I would have never started watching Fox News if it wasn't for the fact that Beck was on there. And it was the things that he did, it was the things he exposed that blew my mind."
At various times, Beck has referred to Tides as "bullies" and "thugs" whose mission is to "warp your children's brains and make sure they know how evil capitalism is." More recently, Beck (who describes himself as a "progressive hunter") has warned the foundation "I'm coming for you."
This has drawn criticism from various quarters.
'People are turning to guns'
Referring directly to Beck, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence issued a statement this week: "Too many people are turning to guns to remedy their grievances. And they are being fueled by rhetoric from leaders of the extreme gun rights movement."
Some law enforcement officials agree.
"The Becks of the world are people who are venting their opinions and it is inflammatory, it generates a lot of emotion and generates in some people overreaction that apparently happened in the California case," Rich Roberts of the International Union of Police Associations, which represents some 500 local police unions, told the progressive media watchdog Media Matters for America. "Inflammatory speech has a tendency to trigger those kinds of emotions."
Speaking of the alleged attack on the Tides Foundation by Byron Williams, Rep. Peter King (R) of New York, senior Republican on the Homeland Security Committee, said in an e-mail to Media Matters: "It is important that everyone in public life, whether on the right or on the left, realize that words have consequences."
Fox News advertisers pressured
Tides itself is calling on advertisers to drop their business with Fox News because of what it charges has been "hate speech leading to violence."
"While we may agree to disagree about the role our citizens and our government should play in promoting social justice and the common good, there should be no disagreement about what constitutes integrity and professionalism and responsibility in discourse – even when allowing for and encouraging contending diverse opinions intelligently argued," Tides founder and CEO Drummond Pike wrote. "This is not a partisan issue. It's an American issue. No one, left, right or center, wants to see another Oklahoma City."
To some observers, the episode involving Glenn Beck and alleged attacker Byron Wilson is reminiscent of the 1991 film "The Fisher King."
"What was prescient about the film is that the main character, Jack Lucas, played by Jeff Bridges, is an arrogant, self-serving, egocentric shock jock talk radio host who enjoys baiting his callers and indulging in personal ideological comments that often have no basis in fact," writes Mark Axelrod, professor of comparative literature at Chapman University in Orange, Calif., on Huffington Post. "The upshot of all of that 'free speech' is that an off-handed, on air comment prompts one of his regular callers to commit multiple murders at a popular Manhattan bar."
None of this seems to have turned Beck away from rhetoric that implies violence.
Railing about a hypothetical situation in which children would have to take flu vaccine or be removed from their families, Beck said this week that his response would be "meet Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson," a reference to the gun manufacturer.
History of violent political speech
The implication of violence in political speech is as old as when lawmakers beat each other with canes on the floor of the House of Representatives. And it's bipartisan.
GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle in Nevada has suggested that there might have to be armed "Second Amendment remedies" for a Congress controlled by Democrats.
On a radio show the other day, President Obama warned that a Republican takeover of Congress would mean "hand-to-hand combat" for the next two years.
At a Democratic fundraiser in Minnesota, Vice President Joe Biden said, "If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them."
But he quickly added, "To the press, that's a figure of speech."

And here's week 9's block from the first quilt-a-long. Boy, these pictures did not come out well at all.
Finally, I made the first block from the Fat Quarter Shop's Designer Mystery Block of the Month. It uses the "Peace on Earth" fabrics by 3 Sisters for Moda. I really like the way this came out -- the block is fairly simple but creates a really nice effect. And the fabrics are great, too. I can't wait to see next month's block.

Shortly after Jeeps_Guns_Tanks started his substantial foray into documenting the development and variants of the M4, I joked on teamspeak with Wargaming's The_Warhawk that the next thing he ought to do was a similar post on the T-72.
Haha. I joke. I am funny man.
The production history of the T-72 is enormously complicated. Tens of thousands were produced; it is probably the fourth most produced tank ever after the T-54/55, T-34 and M4 sherman.
For being such an ubiquitous vehicle, it's frustrating to find information in English-language sources on the T-72. Part of this is residual bad information from the Cold War era when all NATO had to go on were blurry photos from May Day parades:
As with Soviet aircraft, NATO could only assign designations to obviously externally different versions of the vehicle. However, they were not necessarily aware of internal changes, nor were they aware which changes were post-production modifications and which ones were new factory variants of the vehicle. The NATO designations do not, therefore, necessarily line up with the Soviet designations. Between different models of T-72 there are large differences in armor protection and fire control systems. This is why anyone arguing T-72 vs. X has completely missed the point; you need to specify which variant of T-72. There are large differences between them!
Another issue, and one which remains contentious to this day, is the relation between the T-64, T-72 and T-80 in the Soviet Army lineup. This article helps explain the political wrangling which led to the logistically bizarre situation of three very similar tanks being in frontline service simultaneously, but the article is extremely biased as it comes from a high-ranking member of the Ural plant that designed and built the T-72. Soviet tank experts still disagree on this; read this if you have some popcorn handy. Talking points from the Kharkov side seem to be that T-64 was a more refined, advanced design and that T-72 was cheap filler, while Ural fans tend to hold that T-64 was an unreliable mechanical prima donna and T-72 a mechanically sound, mass-producible design.
So, if anyone would like to help make sense of this vehicle, feel free to post away. I am particularly interested in:
-What armor arrays the different T-72 variants use. Diagrams, dates of introduction, and whether the array is factory-produced or a field upgrade of existing armor are pertinent questions.
-Details of the fire control system. One of the Kharkov talking points is that for most of the time in service, T-64 had a more advanced fire control system than contemporary T-72 variants. Is this true? What were the various fire control systems in the T-64 and T-72, and what were there dates of introduction? I am particularly curious when Soviet tanks got gun-follows-sight FCS.
-Export variants and variants produced outside the Soviet Union. How do they stack up? Exactly what variant(s) of T-72 were the Iraqis using in 1991?
-WTF is up with the T-72's transmission? How does it steer and why is its reverse speed so pathetically low?

Hello, my friends and Kharkovites, take a sit and be ready for your brains to start to work - we are going to tell you a terrible secret of how to tell apart Soviet tanks that actually works like GLORIOUS T-80 and The Mighty T-72 from Kharkovites attempt to make a tank - the T-64. Many of capitalists Westerners have hard time understanding what tank is in front of them, even when they know smart words like "Kontakt-5" ERA. Ignoramus westerners!
Because you are all were raised in several hundreds years old capitalism system all of you are blind consumer dummies, that need big noisy labels and shiny colorful things to be attached to product X to be sold to your ignorant heads and wallets, thats why we will need to start with basics. BASICS, DA? First - how to identify to which tank "family" particular MBT belongs to - to T-64 tree, or T-72 line, or Superior T-80 development project, vehicles that don't have big APPLE logo on them for you to understand what is in front of you. And how you can do it in your home without access to your local commie tank nerd?
Easy! Use this Putin approved guide "How to tell appart different families of Soviet and Russian tanks from each other using simple and easy to spot external features in 4 steps: a guide for ignorant western journalists and chairborn generals to not suck in their in-depth discussions on the Internet".
Chapter 1: Where to look, what to see.
T-64 - The Ugly Kharkovite tank that doesn't work
We will begin with T-64, a Kharkovite attempt to make a tank, which was so successful that Ural started to work on their replacement for T-64 known as T-72. Forget about different models of T-64, let's see what is similar between all of them.
T-72 - the Mighty weapon of Workers and Peasants to smash westerners
Unlike tank look-alike, made by Kharkovites mad mans, T-72 is true combat tank to fight with forces of evil like radical moderate barbarians and westerners. Thats why we need to learn how identify it from T-64 and you should remember it's frightening lines!
The GLORIOUS T-80 - a Weapon to Destroy and Conquer bourgeois countries and shatter westerners army
And now we are looking at the Pride of Party and Soviet army, a true tank to spearhead attacks on decadent westerners, a tank that will destroy countries by sucking their military budgets and dispersing their armies in vortex of air, left from high-speed charge by the GLORIOUS T-80!

Greetings, I have been studying in the battle of Afrin since it started. Yet I still lack some information that can clearly analyse the opposite plan, war progress and order of battle of both side (Turkey army clear but YPG isn't).
I am spectacular interested in the process of the battle as it revealed the true strength of the 2nd largest NATO army. Also, the performance of YPG/YPJ militant against the regular modern army is meaningful to modern warfare study too.
Hence, any kind man can help me on this field or even just give out a reading list?

In 1944 the Red Army began looking for a replacement for the battle proven T-34. Their initial action was to simply up-gun the T-34 again, this time with the 100mm D-10T from the SU-100. However deficiencies in the transmission prevented this plan from coming to fruition. As a result the Red Army turned to the T-44. Relying on experience gained from the T-44's own up-gun project they created what was called the T-44B. Given the major changes compared to the current T-44 they later changed the name to the T-54. Designed by A.A. Morozov between October 1944 and December 1944 it had reached sufficient development by November 1st 1944 that People's Commissar of Tank Industry of the USSR V.A. Malyshev ordered Factory №183 to produce a prototype. The factory built the original prototype by January 30th 1945 where until mid-February it underwent testing. On February 22nd it was sent to a NIBT training ground to undergo government testing. Despite identifying several flaws such as a lack hydraulic shock absorbers for the road wheels the T-54 was deemed superior to all existing domestic designs and recommended for eventual adoption.
T-54 (first prototype)
They had reason for their claim; with a transverse mounted engine and a torsion bar suspension the T-54 was much smaller than the T-34. This size decrease allowed the Soviets to significantly up-armor the tank without greatly increasing the weight. The front hull was 120mm thick angled at 60 degrees, the turret was 150mm thick. Despite the armor increases the T-54 only weighed 35.5 tons. Despite the wishes of of the Soviets (who wanted a 700hp engine on their T-34 replacement) the venerable V-2 sill powered the T-54. With an output of 520hp the T-54 was capable of 43.5 km/h. In addition to the increased armor the T-54 was armed with the 100mm D-10T-K gun which was capable of 7-4 rounds a minute. Like other Soviet tanks the turret design limited gun depression with only -3. So despite only being 35.5 tons the T-54 had comparable firepower and armor protection to the 45 ton IS-2.
Armor of the T-54 (first prototype)
In response to the deficiencies identified by the Red Army Factory №183 created another T-54 prototype. Still designated T-54, though by this point in time it would receive it's GABTU designation of Object 137. The tank was produced in July 1945 with government testing beginning in July and ending in November of that year. The T-54 second prototype had many changes, the hull and turret were redesigned, the transmission was replaced with a different one, the gun was replaced with the 100mm LB-1, among other changes. The new turret was up-armored to 200mm thick. In combination with the new gun and turret the T-54 second prototype had increased gun depression compared to the original with -5. All of these modification caused a weight spiral to 39.15 tons, which with the same V-2 engine as before the speed was reduced to 42.5 km/h. As before the Soviet Government recommended it for Red Army service along with the corrections of some defects.

by Teoh El Sen
Free Malaysia Today
April 7, 2012
Former KL CID chief Mat Zain Ibrahim claims the A-G is looking after his own interest in deciding not to charge anyone over Teoh Beng Hock's death.
PETALING JAYA: With the amount of skeletons in his closet, Attorney-General Abdul Ghani Patail would be "digging his own grave" if he prosecutes anyone over the Teoh Beng Hock's death, said a retired senior policeman today.
Ex- Kuala Lumpur criminal investigation department(CID) chief Mat Zain Ibrahim said this was the reason why Ghani was being cowardly and 'afraid' to institute criminal proceedings against any persons recommended by the royal commission of inquiries (RCIs).
"It's for his own survival. Ghani will not institute any criminal proceeding against any person or persons that are being recommended by any RCIs.
"It is not about lack of evidence or that the case needs further investigation from the appropriate Department or anything to that effect. The RCIs recommendations are valid and proper.
"I state without any hesitation, that Ghani is himself very afraid to take any actions.
"To institute any criminal proceeding against those persons would be like digging his own grave.
"It is like putting himself in the same boat with those people he is suppose to charge and prosecute.
The only difference would be those people may have only one charge hanging over their heads,while Gani Patail has several times more," said Mat Zain in an e-mail to FMT today.
He said an RCI in 1999 to investigate the 'black eye' incident had found that Ghani had committed "various criminal offences" .
"He can be charged for at least six(6) cases of fabrication of evidence, each carrying a sentence of up to seven(7) years imprisonment upon conviction.
"As far as the documentary evidences against him are concerned, they are all there in the RCI report,consented by The Agong for all to see," said Mat Zain.
'Blatant' snub
Mat Zain was the lead investigator in Anwar Ibrahim's 1998 "black eye" case and has repeatedly accused that Ghani and the former Inspector General of Police fabricated evidence for the past three years.
Mat Zain said this was the reason Ghani is so "daring" and "blatant" to snub a group of Commissioners appointed by Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
He said that the commissioners appointed are normally not just anybody from the streets, but were people of unquestionable integrity and of certain standing in society.
"Unfortunately after these Commissioners have completed their tasks, they are being reduced to being mere lackeys and useless persons by none other than the A-G himself."
He again called for the Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak to set up a tribunal to investigate Gani.
He said a tribunal can be formed by the Agong on Najib's advise.
"All the PM needs to do is to set up a Tribunal and it will be over within a couple of days. There's no need to engage foreign expert or foreign retired investigators like they did in the RCI to investigate into TBH's death and waste tax payers funds…which are depleting by the
day," said Mat Zain.
Mat Zain had noted that this was the second time Ghani has failed to act on recommendations by a commission of inquiry, the first being the failure to act on a previous RCI in 2007 probing allegations that appointments of judges were fixed.
Case closed
On Thursday, it was revealed in parliament that the A-G's Chambers has closed its case on Teoh's death and had cleared the three MACC officers named in the RCI report– which had found that Teoh was driven to suicide after aggressive interrogation– of all offences.
Teoh, 30, was the political aide of Selangor executive council member Ean Yong Hian Wah. He was found dead on July 16, 2009, on the fifth-floor corridor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam after he was questioned overnight by the MACC officers on the 14th floor.
An inquest was held but could only reach an "open verdict". An RCI was subsequently held and the five-man RCI panel, headed by then federal court judge James Foong, had singled out the three officers who were involved in Teoh's interrogations.
They were Selangor MACC deputy director Hishamuddin Hashim and his subordinates Mohd Anuar Ismail and Mohd Ashraf Mohd Yunus.
The Bar Council, which played an active role in the RCI into Teoh's death, had urged the A-G to clarify and explain his decision.
Contrary to the RCI report which named the three men, the Bar Council had recommended that five MACC officers be investigated for culpable homicide.
The five officers include Hishamuddin, Mohd Anuar and Mohd Ashraf as well as Selangor MACC investigations chief, Hairul Ilham Hamzah, and Klang MACC assistant enforcement officer Zulkefly Aziz.
The Bar had recommended that the five be investigated under Section 304A of the Penal Code for causing the death of Teoh via negligence.

The WV-CF304L Series colour surveillance camera includes a newly developed Digital Signal Processor (DSP), providing improved image quality in a cost-effective unit.
Utilising the revolutionary Adaptive Black Stretch technology, the DSP uses image processing to automatically detect dark areas inside an image, applying the most suitable gamma correction curve for darker areas. This image processing algorithm transforms shadows and dark areas into natural and crisp images in real time like never before.
Horizontal resolution is 650 TV lines in colour mode and due to the new DSP and the introduction of a new circuit, minimum illumination intensity is made possible at 0.08 lux in colour mode using the 2.8 mm F1.3 lens. IR LED irradiation 10 meters

When Nicholas Cendoya told his mom he wanted to return next week to the same hiking trail that he and a friend got lost on for four days, prompting a massive search and rescue operation, she had four words for him.
"Over my dead body," Nubia Cendoya said.
She spoke as she and her 19-year-old got ready to leave the hospital on Sunday where he was treated for a concussion, dehydration and cuts since Wednesday night.
Local news from across Southern California
Nicholas Cendoya said that he ate and sucked plants to survive and was very much looking forward to going home.
"I'm excited for my first home-cooked meal," he said.
Cendoya and his friend Kyndall Jack got lost during an Easter Hike in the rugged Trabuco Canyon area of the Cleveland National Forest. Cendoya was rescued on Wednesday night. Jack was rescued the next day. She remains hospitalized as does a deputy who fell 60 feet during a rescue attempt.
Cendoya said he was in and out of consciousness during the ordeal.
"The last thing I could tell you was going into a lucid dream," he said during a press conference outside the Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo in Sunday. "I can't even tell you when I woke up. I was in lucid dreams and hallucinations for days.
"I could see the helicopters flying over me every day. When the firefighters came up to me, I couldn't even believe it. We weren't meant to die."
Jack, who was rescued a day after Cendoya and was sent to a different hospital than Cendoya, sent a message to her hiking companion, thanking him for helping both of them survive.

Mastercam, developed by CNC Software Inc., is the most widely used CAD/CAM software in the world. Founded in 1983, CNC Software is one of the oldest companies in the PC-based CAD/CAM industry and operates with the main goal of providing its customers with superior software products that solve simple to complex design and machining problems.
Although the Mastercam product line offers a variety of software options for many applications, the Swiss-type machine market became a primary focus for Mastercam in 2010, when the company acquired software specific to the market.
Featured Content
"We've spent the last couple of years tweaking and tuning that software to bring it back to the market," says Gary Hargreaves, vice president of business development, Mastercam/CNC Software. "Another aspect we've been focusing on is continuing to build our library of machine environments to support both newer and older machine tools."
Mastercam's primary product for Swiss-type machining is Mastercam Swiss Expert, specialized CAD/CAM software for precision programming. It is specifically designed for controlling Swiss-style CNC machines, reducing startup time, and is ideal for optimizing cycle times while supporting many tooling types.
"One of the main differentiating factors for Swiss Expert from other software is that it's highly visual," explains Bill Martel, technical services specialist, Mastercam/CNC Software. "The programs incorporate 3D graphics and Gantt charts for process organization and synchronizing as well as process planning. Swiss Expert also provides full simulation of projects on the user's fully tooled virtual machine, showing the code running in sync with the simulation."
Mastercam prides itself on the breadth of its line and the strong support staff for the programs.
"The direction that Mastercam is going with our precision machining products is driven with PMPA members and their needs in mind," adds Ben Mund, marketing manager, Mastercam/CNC Software. Attendees at the Precision Machining Technology Show in April can see Mastercam in action in Booth 437.
In order to provide the best solutions to PMPA members, Mastercam has a machine shop onsite with a variety of machine tools for testing the software.
"We've had five different Swiss-type machines on our floor in the past 2 years, allowing us to develop machine posts in house. For the research and development of Mastercam products, we use the shop to test our software the practical way," Mr. Martel explains. "We cut a lot of parts in our shop."
For Mastercam's team, PMPA membership provides them with education about the markets they serve.
"One of my most positive experiences through PMPA was actually going to a conference in Switzerland. I was able to learn about what the companies in the precision machining industry in Europe do and how they do it," Mr. Hargreaves says. "It was a great educational experience."
"PMPA really focuses on education of not only their current members, but of the future members. It's exciting to be a part of that," Mr. Martel adds. "Beyond that, I'm very impressed with how PMPA is organized internally as well as how they organize their events."
Mr. Martel also explained that the information shared on all levels ranging from the technical conference to the Management Update and even local chapter meetings provides an exceptional value to Mastercam as well as to the individual staff members.
"One of our original reasons for joining PMPA was for networking, which has been incredibly important for gaining face time with the customers that we serve. We also got involved for the many PMPA resources that are available to us," Mr. Martel continues. "As a company, there are many more opportunities we can take advantage of, and there is even more that we can learn about the organization."
Keeping Watch on Small Parts
From watch parts to exotic medical applications, this shop takes on the world of micromachining.
Simplifying CAD/CAM Programming
Manufacturing has come a long way since the introduction of CAD/CAM software.

Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 7:11 pm pcHDTV_tech Joined: 16 Dec 2004 Posts: 295 I don't know anything about LIRC or configuring it for the HD5500, but pcHDTV says it's on their list of things to get working. Didn't get a proposed date... Rusty Infrared Posted: Sat Jul 08, 2006 5:18 pm nybbler Joined: 06 Jul 2006 Posts: 125 It's a pretty standard infrared demodulator attached to GPIO:16 on the CX23883. Apparently the -39 version on the 5500 can sample this pin; nothing about it in my old datasheet which I think is for the -17. Anyway, if you look at the cx88-input driver in the sources, you can see two places where there's a case CX88_BOARD_HAUPPAUGE_HVR1100: If you insert directly below this (in both places) case CX88_BOARD_PCHDTV_HD5500: then a make and a make install and then do a sudo modprobe cx88xx ir_debug=1 sudo modprobe cx8800 you should be able to see (in the dmesg log) it decoding RC5 (phillips style) remote control messages. Assuming you point such a control at it of course. I haven't gotten the info out to userspace yet but I assume it's not all that hard. If you want to decode Panasonic-style (pulse-distance) or Sony style (pulse-width) you'll have to do more work. Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2006 7:22 am nybbler Joined: 06 Jul 2006 Posts: 125 OK, doing as I described above makes it send keys using the dev/input driver. The mapping of IR codes to keys is handled inside the driver (yuk), and is probably set up for the remote which comes with the Hauppage cards. There are some big disadvantages to doing it this way, namely 1) The codes are inside the kernel and hard to change for different remotes 2) The "address" portion of the code is not respected, so if you have another RC5 device, you'll get spurious codes (double yuk). This could be fixed either by setting up ioctls to change the mapping in the kernel and define an allowable device address, or changing the driver to be an LIRC plug-in instead of a dev/input client, or even making another class of event for IR codes. But at this point we're probably outside the scope of the forum. Also unfortunate is the lack of an internal connector for IR, though it's probably possible to glue-and-white-wire one. The IR-in pin on the connector is the middle one on the left column looking at the back of the board. The one on the right column one pin down is probably IR power. remote Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 12:19 pm azcowboy13 Joined: 11 Jul 2006 Posts: 2 I'm new to all of this so sorry if this is a dumb question, but does the HD5500 come with a remote? Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 1:59 pm nybbler Joined: 06 Jul 2006 Posts: 125 It does not come with a remote, but it does come with an IR receiver which, while currently unsupported, appears that it can be fairly easily (for a programmer) made to work with common JP5 (Phillips/Magnavox and others) remotes. If you're like me you have a pile of remotes laying around anyway. I've been using an old universal remote.

Nybbler, I'd be very interested in hearing if you've done any further research or work into getting the IR receiver to work. I doubt I will have the time to gain the kernel expertise necessary help much, but it sounds like it might not be too hard for someone with linux driver experience. Is there any more information you can give us? Feel free to email me at carl_at_youngbloods_org. Thanks, Carl Posted: Tue Aug 29, 2006 2:05 pm nybbler Joined: 06 Jul 2006 Posts: 125 I now have a very useful patch. It will allow you to use any RC5 or NEC protocol remote with the 5500 card, provided you install LIRC with the lirc_dev driver. It's a bit of a hack as I didn't remove all of the /dev/input stuff, and it makes a mainline kernel driver (cx88) depend on an out-of-tree module (lirc_dev), but it does the job. Despite this, I think it's a better interface than the /dev/input driver as it lets userspace handle the codes, doing only the demodulation in kernel space. I've put it up on my website: http://www.speakeasy.org/~russotto/pc5500-remote-patch.diff It is a diff from the 20060717 snapshot of the v4l-dvb drivers. dev/input driver Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2006 1:40 pm volfy Joined: 07 Sep 2006 Posts: 2 THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR THE DRIVER nybbler DISCUSSED ON JUL 8, *NOT* THE PATCH FROM AUG 29. I'm using the gray Hauppauge remote, so the kernel definitions are fine for me for now. I got lirc to work w/ the remote by adding the two lines to cx88-input as you suggested (thanks so much!) and then loading the module and then: irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event1 /tmp/irrecord Follow the instructions. On KnoppMyth, when prompted for the buttons you can use the names from /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc so the names match. To start lircd now, run: lircd --driver dev/input --device /dev/input/event1 You can see which device you need (instead of /dev/input/event1) by cat /proc/bus/input/devices On KnoppMyth, you can get lircd to start that way by editing /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and putting in the lines: Code: # Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers. DRIVER="dev/input" # If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be # automatically used instead DEVICE="/dev/input/event1" Finally, I needed to prevent the remote from sending keypresses to X so I edited /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and added the line Code: Option "isa0060/serio0/input0" to the section Code: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" You will probably have to look in /proc/bus/input/devices to see exactly what device name you should use instead of isa0060/serio0/input0. The downside to this is that when you plug in an additional keyboard it won't work on X, just the one keyboard will. If anyone knows how to exclude the HD5500 remote from the list of keyboards X recognizes but have X see the rest, let me know. Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2006 5:43 pm volfy Joined: 07 Sep 2006 Posts: 2 Ug. I got the instructions for preventing X from seeing the remote totally wrong. Create a section like this in your XF86Config-4 file, that replaces the other keyboard section: Code: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "Protocol" "evdev" Option "Dev Name" "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" # Option "Dev Phys" "usb-*/input0" Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" Option "CoreKeyboard" EndSection You can get the "Dev Name" from /proc/bus/input/devices for your real keyboard. I've also been having problems w/ the HD5500 being renumbered in the /dev/input/event? devices. I still need to figure that out. Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2006 10:46 am nybbler Joined: 06 Jul 2006 Posts: 125 As an enhancement to my earlier patch http://www.speakeasy.org/~russotto/lirc-rpt.diff This is a patch to LIRC which allows you to put a "repeat_code" parameter in the lircd.conf. This is useful for some NEC-format remotes; for those, put "repeat_code 0" in there, and holding down the button will work properly. Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2007 5:36 pm Hobbiticus Joined: 09 Jan 2007 Posts: 4 Has any more work been done on this? I'm having some trouble setting mine up. I added the case statements to the driver source, and the IR port is listed in my /proc/bus/input/devices as being on /dev/input/event5. However, if I use irrecord or just cat /dev/input/event5, I get nothing. I don't know what style remotes I have either. I've tried the comcast remote, my samsung tv's remote, the xbox remote, my garmin's remote, and even pointing my pda's IR port at the sensor, and I still get nothing. Am I missing something or is there something else I can try? EDIT: Well I completely forgot about another old remote laying around that seems to work with the IR port, but it's a crappy remote for a crappy tv and it has about 20 buttons total (10 are digits, 4 are navigation), which wouldn't be enough to control mythtv with. Is there a way to get this to recognize pulse-width or pulse-distance signals? LIRC driver for this card Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 5:00 pm dave Joined: 07 Mar 2007 Posts: 9 nybbler, Thanks for your work. I think many people will be interested in getting the IR receiver working. Do you have any suggestions on which driver to use (ie i2c or gpio) for this card? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I don't ever get a /dev/lirc . I have the lircd and lircm. I am using ubuntu 6.10. Any additional help will be greatly appreciated.

Summertime, and the Readin' is Easy!
Summer! What can be better than long, slow evenings that melt into gorgeous sunsets over Lake Erie, warm breezes, tourists who flock here to South Bass Island to enjoy the fun.
And reading!
Oh, yes, summer is perfect for mornings out on the front porch, book in hand.
Or afternoons at the side of the pool, book in hand.
Or evenings on the patio, book in . . .
Well, you get the picture!
Like the other members of the League of Literary Ladies, I love to read, and I know you do, too. So I've got the perfect opportunity for you.
Leave a comment on this post and I'll pick two winners, one for "And Then There Were Nuns," the latest book in the League of Literary Ladies series, and one for a copy of "Irish Stewed," the first book in Kylie Logan's new Ethnic Eats Mystery series. I'll be out of town for a bit--summer, remember, but I'll let my winners know who they are on August 12. Good luck!

Summer brings a lot of good memories back reading-wise. Not necessarily reading outside, too hot for me typically, but more along the lines of trying to see if I could get through all of my favorite books for the summer reading program. Or just trying to see if I could read more than the year before. I've loved each of the League of Literary Ladies books and look forward to reading all of your other books. Thank you very much for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
I'm in...Both books are on my "must read" list. Thank you for highlighting such great reads, and hosting giveaway opportunities!ReplyDelete

This machine has been developed and manufactured in association with Hegenscheidt of Germany for the 1st time in India by Heavy Machine Tools Plant (HMTP) of HEC, Ranchi.G K Pillai, CMD, HEC expressed his happiness & said that the rest 6 machines should be supplied in time so that customer confidence is won. On this occasion, a small function was organized at HMTP amidst all senior officers and staff.This new generation CNC Under Floor Wheel lathe machine requires minimum operator's interference as the machine is fully automatic. The machine decides the optimum metal removal for maximum Wheel set life. It offers highest accuracy, is less prone to human error, is highly productive and ensures better accuracy of Wheel profile.The Indian Railway Workshops were earlier equipped with old generation conventional Under Floor Wheel Lathe Machines. The performance of these machines were dependent more on the skill of operator for metal removal and achieving profile. This resulted in less Wheel life in the earlier generation machines.The new generation automatic CNC Under Floor Wheel lathe Machine is expected to improve the life of Railway Wheel sets by around 20% to 30% with minimum operator interference. With the use of this machine, Indian Railways will be able to manage its Rolling Stock in more efficient & productive manner.With this HEC has strengthened its position as a solution provider for Rolling Stock management.

Everyone is chattering about how Halo 3 will allow you to mute annoying players. I think this is a great feature; one of the reasons I only play Xbox Live games with people on my friends list is that I don't like putting up with the racist and overly talkative people who seem to gravitate towards whatever game I'm playing. Halo 3 won't have that problem, which is great. Of course, as Major Nelson points out, this is a feature you already have. Prepare for the instructions!
While you are playing in any Xbox 360 game, press the guide button, scroll down to the 'Community' section then click to the right and press A on the icon of the controller. That will bring up a list of people are you are currently playing with followed by others you have played with in recent games. (we call this the recent players list.) Then scroll down to the gamertag who is bothering you with their yammering and press A to get to their profile… scroll to the bottom and click MUTE. Bam… the player is now muted in your current game session. You can now continue your game in peace. (You can always go through the same steps to unmute a player.)
Oh, and while you're at select SUBMIT
PLAYER REVIEW (two clicks up from MUTE) and be sure to select
AVOID THIS PLAYER (and select why.) This will tell Xbox Live that you
would prefer not to play with this person in ANY GAME and our system
will do its best to NOT match you up again with that person.
So there have it. A feature in Halo 3 that you (sort of) already have today.
I had thought this was common knowledge, but I guess it's worth pointing out again. Halo 3 won't offer anything new in the mute feature, but at least it makes the process much eaiser, and that's still a good thing. The fewer people I have to listen to on Xbox Live, the better for my sanity.

A Labor Day Weekend opening hardly seems appropriate for "Extract," the latest comedy from Mike Judge, who gave us the cubical-culture classic "Office Space."
"Extract," after all, looks at the workplace from the perspective of the boss.
Judge's new release also is an oddity of sorts if only because there aren't a ton of workplace-themed movies these days, and certainly none among this summer's blockbusters.
Transformers don't punch time clocks. Hogwarts is a school. The Starship Enterprise may technically be a place of business, but that's not what "Star Trek" is about.
The movies, of course, are a favorite form of escapism, never more so than when times are tough – it took a great like Charlie Chaplin to give audiences both laughs and social commentary about the workplace in "Modern Times," released in the middle of the Depression. Hollywood executives, who no doubt want to keep their jobs, may be avoiding producing films about working when the national unemployment rate is approaching 10 percent.
Workplace-themed entertainment long has been the province of TV, from "The Dick Van Dyke Show" through "The Office."
Still, there is a tradition of folks shelling out hard-earned bucks to catch clever depictions of working life on the big screen.
We've seen everything from funny revenge fantasies ("9 to 5") to serio-comic movies about job loss ("The Full Monty") to flicks that proudly sport the union label ("Norma Rae").
So as you mark the end of summer, we'll ask you to do a little work on Labor Day: use the comments section below to tell us your favorite workplace flicks.

Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve Its History, Promote Its Values & Celebrate Excellence Everywhere
"I scramble because I'm good at it, because I can twist and dodge those big pass rushers better than most guys and we get a lot of touchdowns that way."
(Georgia)...6'0'', 190...Francis Asbury Tarkenton. . .Almost instant star with four TD passes, first game, 1961. . .Moved to New York (1967), back to Vikings (1972) in stunning trades. . .At retirement led lifetime passers in attempts (6,467), completions (3,686), yards (47,003), touchdowns (342). . .Exciting, elusive scrambler. . . Rushed for 3,674 yards, 32 TDs. . .Led Vikings to three Super Bowls. . .Two-time All-NFL. . .Pro Bowl selection nine times. . . Born February 3, 1940, in Richmond, Virginia.
Fran Tarkenton's career as a National Football League quarterback started with the fledgling Minnesota Vikings in 1961, took him to the New York Giants in 1967, and then back to the Vikings in 1972.
In Minnesota's first game ever, the rookie from Georgia came off the bench to fire four touchdown passes and run for a fifth in a big upset of the Chicago Bears. For the next 18 seasons, the 6-0, 190-pound field leader never let up in his relentless quest of yardage and touchdowns.
At the time of his retirement, Fran owned every significant passing record – 3,686 pass completions, 47,003 passing yards, and 342 touchdowns. But particularly in his early years, Tarkenton attracted widespread attention as an exciting scrambler who took plays from sideline to sideline. Add his 3,674 yards rushing to his stunning passing totals and you have 50,677 yards – almost 29 miles or 500 football fields – of offensive progression. Yet Tarkenton was also a "quality" passer as his 80.4 passing rating that placed him in the upper echelon in that category demonstrates.
Tarkenton was a No. 3 draft pick of the 1961 Vikings. He became the starting quarterback early in his rookie season and continued his outstanding performances for the next six seasons. But in 1967, he was sent to the New York Giants in a trade that netted the Vikings two No. 1 and two No. 2 draft picks over a three-year period.
Five seasons later, Fran came back to Minnesota in another massive swap that cost the Vikings two veterans, a rookie and two high draft picks. In Fran's final seven years with the Vikings (1972-1978), he led Minnesota to six NFC Central Division titles and three Super Bowl appearances. He was named first- or second-team All-NFL three times and selected to play in nine Pro Bowls during his career.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the South Carolina Legal History Collection, the Coleman Karesh Law Library has mounted an exhibit exploring the lives and law practices of five generations of South Carolina lawyers. In August of 2007, the Law Library received a donation of 419 books that had been part of the library accumulated by five generations of Colcocks and Hutsons, lawyers who lived in Beaufort, Jasper, and Hampton Counties from 1744 to 1939. The donor, Charles Cook, had been given the books by a family friend, Miss Dollie Hutson, forty-five years earlier, in the summer of 1962. Mr. Cook was the son of a Presbyterian minister who was serving two churches in the lowcountry, one of them Stoney Creek Presbyterian Church in McPhersonville, SC. When Miss Hutson, a member at Stoney Creek, learned that the younger Mr. Cook was about to enter law school, she decided to give him the books that her great-great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and brother had used in their own law practices. The books had survived several wars and a great depression. While Mr. Cook never used the books in his own practice, which included fourteen years as Reporter of the South Carolina Supreme Court, he kept the library intact and his donation provides a vehicle for examining the practice of law from the eighteenth, through the nineteenth, to the early twentieth century.Hat tip.

A South Carolinian Law Library
2 comments:
- Alfred Brophy said...
Really interesting list of books--thanks for this, Dan. The presence of a large number of post-war (er, post-Civil War) books makes me wonder about when this library was assembled (and perhaps partly disassembled). Looks like it was put together over several generations. There're fewer non-South Carolina US volumes in there than I might expect, so this might be sort of the remnants of a library. The most useful for the antebellum period wandered off, perhaps....

Very happy to find your post and the terrific image of Judge Charles Jones Colcock b 1771 which also exists as handpainted color miniature at the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston. My blog post called "Libraries the Law and Gingko" relates to the family (Charleston, SC, beginning in about 1730 with mariner father John Colcock, Sr.) Nearly every one of his descendents practiced law until this name became extinct in the male line. This was a family law library, gathered in McPhersonville, SC and passed on to Mr. Cook, the son of a minister there. I am a Hutson cousin and have another who is an attorney in El Paso who knows quite a bit about the Hutson & Colcock attorneys and the history of this library and lots about those people whose books they belonged to, if you'd care to delve further. I am sure he'd oblige. Come visit my blog! http://www.CharlestonArtHistory.com

High Quality 50Tons Soybean oil press machine
Technical Process Soybean extract soy isoflavones
Main Equipment Soybean extract soy isoflavones
1.Cleaning machine
In order to make good quality soybean oil and oil cake, and improve soybean oil output, the cleaning machine is always used in the pretreatment process to remove the impurities,such as crop stalk, stone, dust, magnetic metal and so on.
After cleaning, the soybean shall be crushed by crusher, in order to make the soybean granularity smaller,`and adjust the oil cake thickness,thus creating a good condition for oil extraction.
3.Softening kettle
Softening kettle is used to adjust the water content and temperature of soybean, to increase the plasticity of soybean, so it can reduce the powder and glue stick phenomenon and guarantee the good quality of flakers when flaking,
The Flaker is used to change the soybean from granularity into flakiness, and destroy cell wall of soybean, thus shorten the oil outlet distance. When flaking, the soybean flakiness thickness must be even, the size is suitable, powder degree is low, and also with mechanical strength.
The purpose of cooking is to make the protein of soybean cell wall degenerated and then aggregated because of heated, increase the permeability of cell wall, and decrease the viscosity of oil, thus make oil come out easily, to make small oil drops into big oil drops.
6.Oil press
The advantage of using press method to make oil is that the support equipment is less, it is suitable for various oilseed crops,such as sunflower, soybean, groundnut,sesame,rapeseed and so on. The production line is very flexible, the oil quality is very good with light color and good flavor.
Soya Bean Oil Extraction Process
1. Introduction
(1) Function: Edible oil extraction machine is an oil extractor through soaking or spraying pre-pressed cake by a certain organic solvent. The principle of this part is the different solubility of solvent.
(2) Use range: Edible oil solvent extraction fits for pre-press extraction of high oil- content materials and direct once time extraction of low-oil-content materials.
(3) Main parts: The edible oil extraction making series includes rotary extractor, toaster, 1st evaporator, 2nd evaporator, stripping tower, condenser, etc.
2. Main parts function
(1) Solvent pumps: continuously spray solvent to the rotary-typr extractor.
(2) Roary extractor: spray and soak the pre-pressed cake with solvent so that oil fats can be dissolved in solvent (form miscella). After processing, you can get wet meal and miscella (mixed oil).
(3) DTDC: used to separate the solvent from the wet meal.
(4) Miscella tank 1st: pump the miscella ( oil with solvent) into the miscella 1st, then add 10% saline water to it. The phospholipid and impurities in the miscella will react with the saline water, at last the reactant precipitate, reaching the goal of purifying.
(5) Miscella tank 2nd: the purified miscella will be pumped into it.
(6) Miscella stripping: it will remove the remaining solvent in miscella. And the solvent will be discharged to condenser for recycling.
(7) Condensers: used to cooling the solvent gas separated from the wet meal and miscella for recycling.
3. Main Process
(1) The material (for pretreatment) is sent to rotary extraction by the scraper conveyor. The material will extracted by the solvent or mix oil. After this step, we will get meal and mix oil.
(2) Meal is send to toaster. Through the toaster, the solvent in the meal will seperate from the meal.The solvent goes to condenser and is recycled to rotary extraction.
(3) After the mix oil from the rotary extraction enters into 1st evaporator and 2nd evaporator, most of the solvent in the mix oil is separated.
(4) The mix oil from 2nd evaporator goes to stripping tower and almost all the solvent is separated. From the stripping tower, we can get crude oil and solvent. The solvent is sent to condenser and is recycled to rotary extraction.
4. Advantages
(1) High oil yield, obvious economic benefit
(2) Less residual oil rate in the dry meal.
(3) Improving the quality of the meal.
(4) low processing cost, high labor productivity.
