About Ken

Ken “Professor Glick” Glickman born profoundly deaf, attended Clarke School for the Deaf in his native state of Massachusetts for 11 years. After graduating from Dartmouth College magna cum laude with High Distinction in Psychology in 1977, he joined IBM as a computer programmer and has taught programming and computer graphics at NTID at RIT (1980-81) and at Gallaudet University (1985-86) under IBM’s Faculty Loan Program. Ken left IBM in 1987 to go into the business world on his own, setting up his shop called DEAFinitely Yours Studio in Silver Spring, Maryland, where he currently lives.

Author of two humor books on Deaf Culture, DEAFinitions (1986) and More DEAFinitions! (1989) and the highly popular “DEAFinitions” and “Play It by Ear” posters, Ken also wears a few other hats. He is, at times, an author, a desktop publisher, a webmaster, a poet, a magician specializing in Close-Up magic (having won 1st place in Leipzig, East Germany in 1990 and 2nd place in Kiev, Ukraine in 1992), a wordsmith and a comedian as “Prof. Glick” teaching DEAFology 101, 201 and 301.

Ken has recently published his third book, Deaf Proverbs – A Proverbial Professor’s Points to Ponder. He has written his third and fourth volumes of DEAFinitions and hopes to have them published in the near future.

About the “DEAFinitely Yours Studio”

My studio is modest. There’s this old table I use as an anvil. Spread about are papers and small tools. Words first germinate in my mind. With a piece of paper atop the anvil and pen in hand, the word is created right there and then. More often than not, the word is coarse and needs more hammering. It’s quite amazing how much one can do with a mere twenty six letters of the alphabet let alone all those other special symbols. Words are, fortunately, very malleable. That’s why I’ve had so much fun with them.

Papers make wonderful media with which to carry the fragile words everywhere. Soon after a word is formed on paper, I carry this paper container from the anvil to my electronic fire for further refining. Computers make marvelous machines, and I can’t imagine how wordsmiths of by one times actually managed without them. Once the

word reaches its desired form, I take it from the fire to the quenching bucket in an instant. Often known as a laser printer, the bucket freezes the word for the final casting.

Such is my modest studio. It is where your friendly wordsmith happily churns out new humorous creations day after day and sees them off to that wonderful, majestic world of DEAFIES, smiling at the very thought that “humor does make the world go around.”

Question by Lisa Rowe: Question for Wiccans only please?
Ok here’s the deal my BF and I are “in danger” of breaking up. I don’t think he or I wants that to happen but we both suck at communication.

I know an alter & it’s components are just “tools”. I have box set with an ALTAR top (excuse my spelling error), pentacle, cup, athame & wand.

I assume I would need red or pink candles for friendships & love, maybe a black candle to get rid of all negative energy.

Would I need to cast a circle? Does any1 have any ideas how I can make this work. I’m still new & I have read many books but people are always telling me there is no right way or wrong way.

I also live in a very small apartment community. I have to do my rituals & meditiations inside.

Any help will help. Suggestions ideas. I am lost.

NO BIBLE BEATERS. I am not “coming back to Jesus”
I’ve already tried. WICCANS ONLY DAMMIT! I don’t want to report any 1 else.

StampinSimulation.com Industry Update – More on the Capabilities of Forming Simulation

(PRWEB) September 22, 2006

Splitting, thinning and wrinkling checks: It goes without saying that the primary purpose of the forming simulation step is to check how the material behaves prior to machining of any tool steel.

The results produced in the forming simulation step illustrate very clearly the calculated areas of material yielding (splitting), amounts of necking (thinning or changes in thickness) and areas of material compression (wrinkles and folds). The Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) is key to analyzing this data as it plots each element’s strain (in major and minor axis) on a graph and compares it to the material’s limits to determine if any of these defects will be present. With this information in hand, countermeasures and adjustments are made to the die face design and then the forming simulation is re-run, until each defect is removed or an acceptable result is achieved.

Die face data export

Once all the problems have been ironed out of the draw process and an acceptable “draw panel” has been produced in the virtual environment, the die face data that was used in the simulation can be export as CAD (igs, stl or any other format) for use when designing a complete tool and creating NC cutter paths. Basically, the die face data can be used in any other CAD/CAM package for use in an actual tool build.

Blank shape development

There are many cases where it is not possible to simply blank the material to the shape estimated in the first step (blank shape estimate), form it and end up with a perfect result. If the part needs to be drawn then wiped down for example, then some trimming occurs after drawing and needs to be developed so that after the wipe down, the trim length is correct. With the simulation software, this can all be done in a virtual environment. After the draw simulation step is complete, the “virtual draw panel” can be virtually “laser trimmed” then wiped or flanged down. The virtual laser trim shape can then be adjusted until the final trim line is developed to the correct shape. This means when the time comes to develop an actual trim die, a very accurate starting point is available, which rarely needs further adjustment meaning the time and cost to build a real trim die, is drastically reduced.

Multiple stage forming

If a part cannot be formed in a single stage then each subsequent stage can be simulated and checked too. It is simply a matter of taking the result from the previous stage and feeding it into the next. The previous stage results may include a draw, a trim, a hole pierce or any other operation, all of which gets carried over into the next stage’s simulation.

Pierce hole roundness checks

You may have realized already that a simulation of a hole pierced in a blank, then formed can be performed. This gives an accurate simulation of whether a hole can be safely pierced in a blank stage then drawn, without losing it’s roundness or desired position (usually determined by the quality specification of the final part). Conversely, such a simulation may show that an unimportant hole will go “egg shaped” after forming but if acceptable, it can remain as a hole pierced in the blank, as opposed to piercing it last when maybe a cam unit or otherwise would be required.

Springback check

A springback check can be performed after any stage. For example, after the first draw stage or after the final stage. The end result is not just a number on paper of the amount of springback, but a full 3D CAD model of the part in the sprung back state (and can be exported in any CAD format). This means it is very easy to use this data to counteract the spring back or decide whether the amount of springback is acceptable or not.

StampingSimulation.com http://www.stampingsimulation.com is an on-line die face engineering service, capable of designing complete die face data for your sheet metal stamping tool project. Simply provide a CAD model of your part to StampingSimulation.com and the end result is a complete set of die face data, including a fully developed blank shape, binder surface and addendum surfaces. In addition to this, the die face design is proven in the virtual environment, to show that the die face design has eliminated wrinkling, splitting and compensated for springback.

Construction ERP Software is Simplified with Seamless Workflow Data

The next time you find yourself held up in traffic due to highway construction; take the opportunity to sit back, take a deep breath, and think green. In spite of all the diesel fumes, you just might be looking at one of the most efficient and most productive operations in the country. I say that because in to-days economy, construction companies have to be efficient and productive or they simply don’t survive.

There is probably no other type of business owner more in tune with the concept of lean and green than the owners of a construction companies. Their concept of efficiency is getting the job done as quickly as possible, as cost effectively as possible, with as little fanfare as possible and as little paperwork as they can get away with. Ask almost any contractor what his number one enemy is and he will likely tell you it is down time, severe weather conditions and the never ending paperwork bureaucracy.

To-day we are going to talk primarily about the first one, down time. Down time is production time lost, usually due to equipment failures or unsuitable working conditions caused by uncooperative weather.

A good contractor knows that the key to minimizing down time in equipment failures is through preventative maintenance. New equipment goes a long way toward reducing down time but even tired iron can be coaxed along, remaining effective even in demanding conditions, as long as the equipment is serviced regularly and treated with a level of respect commensurate with its age and history.

Even small tools require regular maintenance in order to maximize their usefulness over as long a period as possible. While small tools may represent a relatively small monetary investment, the cost of their not being in top notch working order can be huge. Substandard tools can result in decreased productivity, shoddy workmanship and unrecoverable down time. Just as annoying, and perhaps even more costly than the tools themselves, is having to locate a replacement tool or part, only to discover the replacement is not instantly available. It may require days or even weeks to acquire. . 

]]>

Every contractor knows that changing the oil in the crankcase every 150 hours will likely extend the efficiency level and life of a particular piece of equipment. He is also well aware of the fact that writing down the fact that the oil was changed will do nothing for the equipment or improve the bottom line of the financial statements.  As a result, if recording the service activity is the least bit difficult, or it takes him out of his way to do so, it will probably not get done, at least not on a consistent basis.

There are a number of real good reasons for tracking service work done to equipment and most readily and easily accomplished in a fully integrated seamless workflow construction ERP software.

It is important to record service to every unit so that we know when it was last serviced and can be prepared for the next, knowing when it is due.
It is important to record service so business owners know that all the necessary precautions are being taken to comply with the requirements for a good preventative maintenance program.
It is also important to know that service is a regular activity, not hit and miss. On newer equipment, good service records may be critical in instances whereby warranty claims are presented to suppliers or equipment manufacturers.
It is important to know that someone is taking a look at, and making notes on what may prove to be abnormal conditions, situations which might lead to serious and or costly equipment failure.
Every piece of equipment eventually reaches a critical life point whereby decisions must be made to either replace or overhaul. Service records present extremely useful data for equipment lifeline analysis.

The fully seamless integrated workflow approach to ERP for construction makes physical access to equipment and job costing data and reporting relatively simple, easy to use and very affordable as compared to traditionally modular accounting and ERP systems.

In the seamless workflow ERP, it is not only remarkably easier to do what you want and need to do, but data is also captured at a significantly higher level of accuracy resulting in unprecedented quality and reliability in equipment costing reports.

Finally, in seamless workflow systems all the data collected is retained for extensively long periods of time making it possible to review the entire life of a particular piece of equipment. When it comes to making decisions about repairing or replacing your equipment, your decision can now be based on actual facts instead of a few recent details and a lot of educated guesswork. Nothing gets left to chance in this construction ERP software

Information about Delta and Porter Cable table saw

You will see that since the 20th century, the immigrants which live in the USA had a lifelong dream of sailing to the new world to work for Delta Machinery tools and to make their products for them. In the 1919, the company was founded by Herbert Tautz. You will see that they started to make small tools for small’s shops and small homes. And you will see that the vast majority was actually brought and owned by very hard workers which were immigrants.

After ninety one years, the Delta is being brought by so many Americans and they have been sold by so many shops and stores which are online and also in shops on the streets as well. They have changed from a small shop to big industrial machineries. Delta is producing new power tools like Porter Cable table saw. Now Delta and Porter Cable have merged into one and have started to sell off products together. This way you will see that they will make more profit and make more money for one another.

It does not matter if you are a professional woodworker or even a woodworking enthusiast you will able to use Porter Cable table saw to your own advantage and you will need to make sure that you get a range of information about the product which you can use for yourself. You will need to make sure that before you purchase a Delta product for yourself that you check out the reviews before opting to buy.

Hobby Become Great Way To Make Money ? The Bead Jewelry Making

The bead jewelry making can be a hobby but it can even become a great way to make money, it is easy to set up a pattern design and it usually appears a way to express your personal character and matching your clothes. Actually, if you are really interesting to start from learning to design jewelry and bead jewelry is the most easy to start your hobby working at your comfortable home.
Beads are not expensive enough but a good selection of beads is necessary and it require without any expensive equipment to get started, and all you need to start your work of a personalized custom bead jewelry is only a few simple tools instead of some others specialized equipments.
It is a good reflection to choose the right beads that show off your personal preference. Some people prefer to choose rhinestones and some prefer to choose other mediums of materials as the beads such as wood, rare metals, or even glass beads. The most common and but inexpensive beads are rhinestones, vary different colors and the glistering brilliant rays are beautiful and easy to work out a perfect jewelry that make it popular for a NEW jewelry designer. However, no matter what sort of beads you preferred, it is better to purchase the beads through the wholesale bead and jewelry suppliers that will be more save money and get the variety of choice.
Alright, here you go to the next step to obtain the materials and tools to string up your favorite necklace or bracelet. Try to find the small tools from your tools box or you can collect it all in small hardware store or even the beads supplier which is easy to buy and not expensive.
A round nose plier are properly the most common tools, it can be used for bending a wire and creating the pattern shape. A chain plier is the second important tools in your tools box, this plier is using to holding the beads and other components to opening and closing links. A wire cutter is also a “must” tool for cutting and trimming all sorts of strings materials and wire. Besides these, crimping pliers, beading needle and a tweezers are also an addition tools for doing the work perfectly.
As long as all the proper equipments are prepared, you have to purchase the wire strings and the most common string material are bead wire, monofilament and nylon thread. Findings come after the string, such as clasps, jump rings and crimps, a clasp and a jump ring is the common use and recommended for new beginners. 
Making your own bead jewelry is a great of fun and a pride for wear, it is easy to express your own sense of fashion and taste. No matter you prefer working with crystal or rhinestone beads, wood or pearls; crafting your own pieces of jewelry at your own unique design is not just for jewelry experts and professional jewelry designers. It is a interesting hobby that anyone can enjoy through the processing of making a custom bead jewelry.

People Love Barefoot Massage!

People say, “Wow, this is so different…I really like it” when they get their first taste of Barefoot (massage using the feet).  The feet are excellent tools for doing massage.  All massage schools will eventually teach this wonderful technique.  Hands are great for technical work.  Elbows go way deep but feet are big, heavy and can level the spine like you wouldn’t believe!

If you like my articles please see my site too!  I make the worlds best custom orthotics for the feet and awesome millet hull pillows!

Big people really need barefoot.  My legs are way more powerful than my arms.  When you couple that power with the ultimate leverage of standing on the table and straddling the client…wow!  Massage comes from the Asian countries.  In the Asian countries they all use the feet in addition to the hands and elbows.  Some people don’t need barefoot because they are just not big enough but most people do benefit from this wonderful massage modality.                                                              

Uh. . . Ah. . . Oh! That’s what people say when they receive Swedish/barefoot massage. Most people are familiar with Swedish massage, which is received by the client on a regular massage table. The therapist uses two tools, his or her hands, to perform the standard massage strokes of petrissage, effleurage, friction, vibration, and tapotement. Swedish massage actually originated in China. In the 19th century, Dr. Henrick Ling brought the massage skills of China to Sweden for gymnastic athletes. For some reason, he forgot to incorporate the other two tools—the feet—into the picture. Maybe Dr. Ling had stinky feet and was too embarrassed to take off his shoes. In any case, the resulting consequences are that all over the world we have massage therapists who are using only two of their four main tools. (The elbows and now knees are secondary tools). 

]]>

For more great articles please see my site:  Holistic Articles! 

Barefoot massage is the missing part of the picture—and pressure. That’s right, the therapist uses his or her feet in addition to both hands to apply pressure to the body. Certain areas of the body often require more pressure than the average therapist can apply with just hands. Millions of people who received “two tool massage” in the past are now starting to understand the benefits of “four tool massage.”

So, what’s different about getting massaged with feet vs. hands? First and foremost, the legs and feet are way stronger than the arms and hands. Look at the size of your calves compared to your forearms. Compare your thighs to your biceps. One of the things that many people aren’t satisfied with in massage is the amount of pressure they receive. That’s because 99 percent of therapists in America use only two tools, the small precision tools. The hands are great for light precision work. A good four-tool therapist uses the hands to massage the head, neck and face, the arms and hands, the abdominals, the feet, the quads and trigger points (knots). The hands are like a sports car. They can zip in and around the curves, maneuver through tight areas and flip a U-y in a second.

The feet are a whole different deal. A four-tool therapist uses the feet on the back, the shoulders, the gluteals, and the back of the legs and arms. The feet are like a ful-size pickup truck! They do the heavy work that the sports car can’t handle. Let’s see you go to Home Depot and pick up some lumber in your sports car. (Oh crap, I forgot. We don’t have a Home Depot here in Silver City!) If you do, you’ll ruin your sports car. That’s what most therapists are doing with their hands. They’re trying to do all the heavy work with their small tools. In time, they bum out their wrists, thumbs, forearms and shoulders, and have to retire. Ouch, I hate it when that happens! I hope that my fellow massage therapists read this and take heed. Use four tools!

Barefoot massage requires a set of bars to hold as a steadying device. This makes strokes very safe and secure.

You might wonder, “How does it feel to get massaged with the feet?” Not only do the feet apply more pressure, but also they do it over a significantly broader area. Clients say it feels like they’re being “ironed out.” Many say that it’s leveling out their spines.

This is exactly what most people need! Most people have humped-over backs and rolled-over shoulders. This creates weak, stretched-out back muscles and tight, over-contracted front muscles. Four-tool massage, along with yoga and chiropractic, is great for healing this problem. Sleeping on your back wouldn’t hurt, either.

(Oh, and of course a good therapist washes his or her hands and feet before and after each massage.)

Promotional Tool Sets

Promotional tool sets can run the gamut from simple screwdriver sets to complex multi tool buckets. Prices run the same road, from very inexpensive to executive prices. This category is rather interesting and diversified as well. Most of the promotional tool sets are on the higher side of prices, but there are always promotional items that are geared for use in large high quantity situations.

Smaller promotional tool sets include some of the home hardware sets. There are picture hanging sets, small utility tool sets for repairs, and office kits. Larger tool sets include barbeque tool sets, and multiple tool kits. Emergency survival kits are available. They are designed for outdoor camping survival, or urban survival. The outdoor survival kits may include items like a compass, whistle, flashlight, and utility tool. For urban survival, the kit may include a flashlight, light sticks, emergency water, a thermal blanket, energy food, bandages and other first aid items, and instructions.

Promotional tool kits for the office will have things like paper clips, stapler, small tool or screwdriver kit, and a tape measure. Larger, more expensive executive gift sets are available. These can be designed for use at the office or at home, and may contain items for an office, or home crafting, or vehicle travel. Usually these cost considerably more, are packaged in their own carrying case or bucket, and are much larger.

On all promotional items, you have the option for imprinting, engraving, embossing, embroidery, or other ways to include an advertisement for your company, product, or service. Be sure to take advantage of the branding feature of your promotional products to get the best out of your marketing investment. Use promotional tool sets as employee incentive rewards, contest prizes, free gift with purchase, corporate gifting, or for publicity at large events.

http:www.binsolutions.ca Storage sheds are not merely for keeping utilitarian items but the appearance of storage sheds affect the overall appearance, beauty of your house or garden where they are installed. For this reason the storage shed should be designed in such a way that it complements your house. For a country type house, you should go for a rustic design and for a more formal house, select a storage shed which has formal features to match the theme of your outer look. You can even blend the storage shed in to your building landscape. You can plant perennial beds or install trellises against the wall or adorn the wall with vines. You can even plants outside the shed so that they add beauty to the shed and aesthetic sense to your property rather than sticking like sore thumbs. If you are perplexed and are unable to decide the right storage shed for your house, we can offer numerous options of different styles, sizes, colors, and materials. Match this with your home and price and select the best that suits your needs and purpose. The storage shed must have an instant access and it must suit your primary function. If you want to store things that space must be your first criteria. We have real small sheds 4″x 8″ to keep small tools but for larger items you need larger ones. We recommend you to choose the exact size that you can afford but which also blends with your landscape. If you want to use the shed for day to day activities then select from our various options …

Different Types Of Pocket Knives

The pen knife is one of the most carried knives in the world. These are very thin and small knives that can be carried on the body even while wearing suits or more formal attire and not appear as if you have anything in it the pocket. Women also tend to favor these knives due to the size.

Many people like pocket knives that combine a blade and other tools that you can use. The most common one of these is the Swiss army knife. In general they will contain one blade and other tools for use such as a pair of pliers, a screwdriver tip and even eating utensils and corkscrews.

An unusual type of knife is the credit card shaped one. These are carried in the wallet with other credit cards and often they can include other small tools like a pair tweezers for added utility. While these are not very convenient to use, they can give you a tool for use that you can carry around undetected.

]]>

Many knives will be slip joint which means that when they are open if there’s enough pressure applied, the blade will close. Many of the multi tool knives and smaller pen knives use this mechanism.

This style of pocket knife that is most closely associated with the phrase is a locked back played. This knife contains one blade which is often longer than other types. The knife itself is also heavier, and it will require you to manipulate panel in some way to close it.

Safety and the understanding of the acceptable use of pocket knives is your responsibility. While carrying a knife is not against the law in many places, it is up to you to know exactly what the laws are and be able to use a knife in a safe manner.

Pocket knives can be a useful tool to have on you. You will need to spend some time researching different styles and blades said that you can find one that you are comfortable with and can use.

Hose Reels Take on New Dimension with the new No-Crank™ Collection

Fort Lee, NJ (PRWEB) April 27, 2007

Hydro Industries, manufacturers of the award winning ReelSmart™ hose reel, introduces a variety of new models as part of the new No-Crank™ collection.

The No-Crank™ hose reels are all based on the Hydro-Pro system. The Hydro-Pro system is a patented water-piston engine that utilizes the water pressure in the garden hose to turn the reel and automatically rewind the hose at a push of a lever. The hose reel requires no batteries and does not use any electricity, yet allows for hands-free rewinding which eliminates the tedious and often difficult manual cranking associated with other hose reels.

The hose reels in the new No-Crank™ collection are available as stationary, swivel or cart models to accommodate the individual needs of each homeowner. The No-Crank™ line is packed with convenient features like hose cleaner, storage compartments and spray nozzle holders making them ideal for any household.

Some NO-CRANK hose reel models equipped with a 360° swivel base provide the user with a greater range of motion allowing the user to easily pull the hose in any direction. The cart hose reels coast along on a set of heavy duty wheels that allow the user to easily move the unit to a different spigot without straining to lift the hose reel, while the stationary models provide an easy-to-use organized method for garden hose storage and are equipped with a handle for easy mobility when needed.

Along with the convenience of a water powered engine to rewind the garden hose, the No-Crank™ collection also incorporates features such as storage compartments for small tools or gloves, a handy flip-down spray nozzle holder and a self cleaning hose reel feature that redirects the drainage water through a built in sprayer to rinse dirt and grass from the hose during the rewind process.

“With a variety of mobility options, such as the swivel, and cart models, and other new innovative features throughout our No-Crank line, the collection is now more diverse than ever before,” said Ken Bevillard, VP of North America business for Hydro-Industries. “This diversity has created a versatile product line that not only appeals to the garden enthusiast, but to a wide variety of lifestyles.”

The No-Crank™ collection is constructed of a durable, weather-resistant plastic casing that looks stylish and creates the ideal hose storage solution for any homeowner.

Easy To Use – hands free rewinding

Using the No-Crank™ hose reel is simple and effortless. After the user is done with the hose, a simple push of a lever on the side of the reel activates the rewinding process. The lever engages the patented water powered engine, which can only be found in Hydro Industries’ products. The engine is powered by the active water pressure entering the unit from the spigot and, in a short period of time, the hose rewinds automatically and smoothly.

Where to Buy

Look for No-Crank™ at home centers, clubs, mass merchants, department stores, garden centers, Internet merchants, specialty catalogues and hardware stores in both the U.S. and Canada. The No-Crank™ collection has a suggested retail price range of $ 49.99 to $ 179.99.
