<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="border:1px solid;" src="http://cyberanto.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/smoking_pain.jpg" alt="Man in Pain, Wanting to Smoke" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="164" height="245" align="left" />Fumer est très mauvais pour votre santé, et surtout après que votre dentiste ait extrait une dent. Idéalement, si vous avez besoin de fumer, vous devez attendre 48 à 72 heures après la chirurgie dans votre bouche. Si quelqu'un vous dit d'attendre seulement 4 heures, faites-le à vos propres risques et périls!</p>
<p>La raison pour laquelle vous devez attendre est que l’action de fumer peut ralentir le processus de guérison dans votre bouche, et même causer de graves complications. La fumée a des substances chimiques toxiques qui non seulement nuisent à vos poumons, mais aussi au site de l’extraction. De plus, le fait d’aspirer la fumée peut déloger le caillot de l’alvéole.</p>
<p>Une complication majeure est appelée alvéolite. C’est une condition très douloureuse autour du site d'extraction de la dent, qui peut causer une mauvaise odeur et limite la capacité d’ouvrir votre bouche. Ça se produit généralement trois à quatre jours après la chirurgie. Si vous ne faites rien, l’alvéolite se calmera par elle-même. Mais si vous voyez un dentiste, il peut mettre un agent désensibilisant des drogues pour enlever la douleur plus rapidement.</p>

Ideally, if you need to smoke, you must wait 48 to 72 hours after the surgery. If someone tells you to wait only 4 hours, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">do it at your own risk!</span></p>
<p>The reason you must wait is that smoking can slow down the healing process in your mouth, and even cause serious complications. The smoke has chemical toxins that not only harm your lungs but also your surgery site. Also, the suction done when smoking can dislodge the blood cloth from the socket it is in.</p>
<p>One major complication is called dry socket. It is a very painful condition around the <a href="http://www.studiodentaire.com/en/treatments/extraction.php">tooth extraction </a>site, which can cause bad smell and limit how big your open your mouth. It usually happens 3-4 days after the surgery. If you do nothing, it will eventually go away, but if you see a dentist, he can put a desensitizing drug to make it go faster.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure somewhere I&#8217;ve already written about a great shed cleanup, so this may be take ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm sure somewhere I've already written about a great shed cleanup, so this may be take two.  Oh well - if it wasn't being used, it wouldn't get messy.</p>
<p>It is a funny thing about this site - the busier I get in the shed, the more there is to write, the less time to do so.  Guess that is my excuse for the lack of posting (and videos!)</p>
<p>Reorganising all the main tool locations caused quite a bit of chaos out there, although I have a feeling that I am infected with some kind of entropy bug.  Got the dust system (pretty much) finished, so got to work getting tools uncovered, and accessible.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1246 aligncenter" src="http://stusshed.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/july-8.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>Ok, so it still looks a bit messy, but it's actually pretty good (the photo doesn't do it justice).  This is the table saw guard extraction, using a combination of plumbing (down) pipe, stormwater pipe connectors, and traditional flexible dust tube.  Down at floor level to the right (out of frame) there is the blast gate to separately control the tablesaw cabinet and the guard collection systems.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1247 aligncenter" src="http://stusshed.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/july-7.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>This is the back of the tablesaw cabinet.  The blue-covered outlet is one of two general access points I've built into the system, both for cleaning out blockages, and primarily so I can connect up some flexible tube to vacuum the floor etc.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1248 aligncenter" src="http://stusshed.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/july-6.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>Dropped into Bunnies and got some fittings to add to the dust lid - these are the inlet and outlet for the top and......</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1249 aligncenter" src="http://stusshed.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/july-5.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>this is what I came up with for underneath.  Once I have a chance to test it, I might have to do some other mods - the idea is the dust is caused to swirl (typical cyclone-type approach), and then the air reverses direction to exit via the blue tube.  It won't catch everything, but if it just takes out 60% of the main waste I'll be happy.  I've directed it like this so the dust impacts on the wall of the bin, so friction encourages the dust to leave the air stream and drop into the bottom of the bin.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1250 aligncenter" src="http://stusshed.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/july-9.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>This is the temporary tubing to the thicknesser.  Given that it passes across the entrance, it is easily unplugged when the machine is not in use.  Again, it will be one of those suck and see things if it actually can perform as desired.  The thicknesser has an active extractor on it, which may help.  However, I am considering if I might need to add an extra inlet to increase the overall tube airflow.  The dust extractor itself will probably need to be upgraded to a 2HP (or bigger - but I can't afford it, or the power supply requirement).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1251 aligncenter" src="http://stusshed.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/july-10.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>And finally, this is the router bit storage finally mounted.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was really hoping to be able to report (and show) a completed dust system in this post.  As you can gather, I didn't get there.  Got damned close, but no Cuban.  It is really close, and in fact, it is only a few niceties that I've decided to do that is holding up the final report.  It is just that I've kept promising myself that each aspect of this upgraded shed I will endeavour to do things properly, and getting a balance between 'ideal', 'gold plated' and 'properly' is a fine line to tread.</p>
<p>Even though I am not going for a gold plated solution, and are making constant choices to get the best solution without throwing money away, it is disconcerting how a few odds and ends always adds up to a dollar figure much higher than you'd expect.</p>
<p>I am going to shoot a short video documenting the system tonight, and its commissioning, but I decided that despite it being a long time between drinks (and videos), I'd finish it properly before committing it to tape.  Sorry that it is so long between videos, but this shed upgrade takes a lot of time that would otherwise be used for projects, such as video episodes.</p>
<p>As a small aside, it didn't help any when I decided to use my hand as a knife block for the Stanley knife.  No significant damage, but it was a very short distance between what did happen, and what could have been a slashed wrist, or some seriously damaged ligaments.  Stupid.  I could say it was rushing, but it really boiled down to one thing - tiredness.  Every other time I have been very conscious of the direction of cutting, but I was in an unusual orientation working my way around some mess, cutting some of the flexible tubing (which takes a bit of force to get through the hard plastic spring portion) and I cut in the wrong direction.  Did I learn anything?  Not really - it is a lesson I have learned before - I didn't need the extra incentive.</p>
<p>Another reason I didn't want to shoot the video yet is the mess.  The shed got (almost literally) turned upside down when I relocated almost every tool to its final location, and I haven't taken the time to do a full cleanup.  That's the next job once I put the dust system to bed.</p>
<p>So where did I get to tonight?  The drill press had the small 1" diameter tubes run to either side.  There are no clamps yet - that is a job for a different day (and I'm not counting it as part of the dust extraction project).</p>
<p>The thicknesser has had its outlet (which is square from the powered dust extraction system it has built in) adapted to the point that it fits the 4" system with a blast gate</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1243 aligncenter" src="http://stusshed.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/blast-gate.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<p>and is easily removed and replaced (given that the thicknesser's location means the dust system passes across the door.  I don't have a problem with that - the thicknesser isn't used every day of the week, so when I want to use it, it'd take 5 seconds to plug the system in.</p>
<p>Lathe is done, and bandsaw, and the 4" portion has been run to the base of the tablesaw.  Near the back of the tablesaw, I have added a Y section with additional blast gates.  One end has been left open, so I can plug in some flexible 4' tube I have to do a bit of general cleaning around the place.  I am going to add a second one somewhere near the router table, again to aid general cleanup.</p>
<p>I have finally gotten the extraction to the dust port on the blade guard.  Took a bit of figuring out, partly because of my original concept needed modifying because parts I was expecting don't exist.  However, I am happy with the solution I have come up with.  I hope.  (If I need to move the tablesaw, it probably all goes out the window).</p>
<p>Was in getting the last few fittings I needed from Bunnings today - needed a little more 4" pipe.  The stuff I have been using so far is downpipe (which is pretty thin - doesn't have to withstand internal pressures like stormwater (for example).  It is also cheapest.  However, went to buy a little more today, and was informed that it didn't exist.  There are other sizes, but apparently what I have been using so far doesn't actually exist.  I must be using stormwater pipe (I'm not), or it is 90mm and not 100mm (even though I have been using 100mm stormwater fittings).  Never understood that.  I may not be a plumber, but I'm not completely stupid either - think I know when I am using 100mm pipe.</p>
<p>So what is left to do?  Other than the cleanup, I just want to add that Y section and blast gate near the router table, and I bought a Dust Separator Lid from Carbatec</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1244 aligncenter" src="http://stusshed.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dbs-1.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="251" /></p>
<p>to place near the actual dust extractor.  It isn't a cyclonic system, or as sophisticated as some on the market, but with a few minor additions it should make an adequate first stage separator.  I'm not fussed if it only catches the heavier stuff - the more it collects, the less often I will need to empty the dust extractor collection bag.  I still need to find a bin that the lid fits - always another obstacle.</p>
<p>So there we are (almost).  Hope to be able to try the system out in anger shortly, and document it here of course!</p>

<description><![CDATA[I finally, after I can&#8217;t remember how long, started to rebuild the shed&#8217;s dust extractio]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally, after I can't remember how long, started to rebuild the shed's dust extraction system.  It was decommissioned so long ago, I don't even remember at what point it became non-functional.  It is pretty academic these days given the whole shed upgrade.  'Back then' I bought a number of lengths of 100mm downpipe, being significantly cheaper than the actual flexible dust extraction tubing.  So I finally got to start cutting into it, and putting it in place.</p>
<p>The first step though, was finalising (as best I can) the machine positions.  Once that was decided (taking into account where possible, the dust extraction needs of each machine), the next step was planning the pipe run(s).</p>
<p>It was a bit of a debate, but I have finally decided to run the tubing at ground level.  It means the extractor doesn't have to work so hard, lifting the dust and shavings the 2.5 meters off the floor, in addition to overcoming the friction from the walls.  Given the tool layout, it won't cause me any undue grievance loosing that small amount of floorspace behind each tool against the wall.</p>
<p>I haven't gotten very far - balancing shed time with work time and family time (especially when everyone is sick).  But at least it feels like a good start.</p>
<p>Here's a pic of about as far as I've gotten (I said I didn't get far).</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-1229 aligncenter" src="http://stusshed.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/dust.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="266" /></p>
<p>What is shown here is the right side of the machinery area (against the front wall).  Each machine is connected in via flexible tubing, and a blast gate.  The blast gate on each machine is obviously so I can shut off all the other machines to maximise the flowrate from the one currently being operated.  The modified T section has 2 advantages.  Firstly, it isn't a straight T section - it is angled to minimise the losses from forcing the dust through a tight 90 degree corner.  Secondly, it provides an inlet so any blockages can be cleared relatively easily.</p>
<p>I am planning to add an extra length of flex into that end so I can make a temporary run to the thicknesser when required.</p>
<p>The second one is not ideal, but is only to draw a (relatively) small amount of generated light dust from two sanders (the belt &#38; disk and the spindle sander).  The belt &#38; disk also does its own active dust extraction, feeding into the tube, so it 'should' help.</p>
<p>Next job - the router table.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By the time organizations come out with the idea of an enterprise Business Intelligence Program, there are many stand-alone BI environments which have mushroomed by that time. Business and IT stakeholders are wary to rock the boat on stabilized and business critical data-marts. Business leaders are short of stamina to focus on enterprise BI program, as it is more convenient to grow the functional level existing data-marts.</p>
<p>The question is on how to then proceed for integrating these environments. This is with the assumption that you don’t want to reinvent the wheel and want to leverage on what is already done.</p>
<p>Instead of a big-bang, one can go for a gradual approach whereby a decent proportion of the plumbing work can be done in the back-ground before you start engaging broad-set of stakeholders.</p>
<p>The steps that I will recommend is:</p>
<ol>
<li>Integrate the ETL</li>
<li>Integrate the front-end tools</li>
<li>Integrate the Data Marts</li>
</ol>
<p>Please refer to the gradual BI integration approach, the steps and cautions in <a href="http://www.bipminstitute.com/tips/integrate-standalone-bi-environments.php">Integrating your stand-alone BI environments- Gradual Approach</a> in my portal <a href="http://www.bipminstitute.com/">www.bipminstitute.com</a> .</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>High Risk, Sweet Profit</p>
<p align="justify">Volatility and strict regulation are not the only risks. Even the development of new drilling techniques can't sweeten the oil for these established global industry players, and in this declining market the response is to merge and acquire operations. It's often a hit and miss, with dangerous terrain in the field and political arena.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So today marked the day where I extracted both my upper and lower wisdom teeth on the right. Ugh, what a relief but I have to tell you though, my mouth is still bleeding. Apparently the one on the bottom, judging from the x-ray was growing crooked and was tilted, so it was actually growing into my molar which explains my swollen cheek \_(-_-)_/</p>
<p>Anyway my mouth was numb for about two hours and it was so bizarre trying to eat food that way. I felt like a baby... Cool.</p>
<p>So anyway, after receiving my two wisdom teeth WHICH WERE HUGE, I got several suggestions on what to do with them from my family.</p>
<ol>
<li>Plate them in gold and use them as necklaces. Shark tooth, shmark tooth. Wisdom teeth are the new coolest accessory.</li>
<li>Clean them off and use them as earrings :)</li>
<li>Approach a voodoo doctor and ask them what positive changes I can make in my life with them.</li>
<li>Use them as props in ghost story telling sessions.</li>
<li>Replace my two front teeth with them.</li>
<li>Try dissolving them in various soft drinks.</li>
<li>Give a tooth to someone special as a present to signify my love.</li>
</ol>
<p>I think this pretty much gives you an idea of the state of my family's sanity.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:left;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;margin:5px;" src="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn103/serviceinperu/SCplacesunset.jpg" alt="" width="231" height="170" /> While many adults in the US are still in a state of denial over global warming, young schoolchildren in villages deep in the Peruvian Amazon are learning about the effects climate destabilization is likely to have on their way of life.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">That’s just one thing I learned during a recent three-week trip to the Loreto region (northeast corner) of Peru, with a Peace and Conflict Studies class from Pacific University in Oregon.<span> </span>We spent much of our time in Peru staying in small villages, where we learned about the culture and way of life of the people there – as well as the threats they are likely to face in coming years.<span> </span>Based on my, admittedly very brief, exposure to life in Peru’s Amazon, it seems climate destabilization is not a “debated” issue there; people in the rainforest make their livelihoods mostly through small-scale farming, fishing, and hunting—and living so close to the land, they know their ability to make a living will be affected by changes in climate.<span> </span>Already, during our stay, it turned out that water levels in the river are lower than normal for the time of year.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Talking to one of the Loreto region’s chief conservationists – Gilberto Guerra Reátegui, founder of the <a href="http://www.laisladelosmonosperu.com/eng.html">“Isla de los Monos” conservation project</a> – we learned how higher global temperatures are causing glaciers in the Andes Mountains to melt, contributing to lower water levels in the country’s rivers.<span> </span>This is bad news for wildlife, but also for the dozens of villages that look to the rivers as everything from a source of food (fish) to their main means of transportation, by boat.<span> </span>Further, changing weather patterns in the area will affect the forest in ways that are difficult to predict—but in the likely scenario that the local climate becomes dryer, entire rainforest ecosystems that depend on frequent rains will be put at risk.<span> </span>And if the forests and the myriad plants and animal species in it begin to die, so too will the thriving cultures that dot the Amazon and other rivers. </span><!--more--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> <img class="alignleft" style="float:left;margin:5px;" src="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn103/serviceinperu/MIangelstrumpet.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="200" /> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Luckily, there is good news, too.<span> </span>It was encouraging to see that local people were so aware of—and concerned about—the problem.<span> </span>One farmer we talked to and worked with mentioned the connection between deforestation and global warming; by now many of us, I think, know the statistic that about 25% of worldwide greenhouse emissions come from destroying the planet’s forest-cover.<span> </span>He expressed concern that his own occupation sometimes required cutting down stands of trees for farming.<span> </span>However, it’s not really the practices of small villages like the ones we visited that are destroying the rainforest; the farmer we talked to was going to use the same plot of land indefinitely, planting it in different crops on different years to keep the soil healthy and do away with the need to clear more forest.<span> </span>Further, the village “plantations” we saw were about as different as you can imagine from the huge banana or palm oil monocrops planted by Big Agribusiness in South American countries.<span> </span>I wrote in my journal during the trip:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0 27pt 0 0.25in;"><em><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">“Though much different from the primary forest, the crop fields are high in natural biodiversity, and blend with the natural forest.<span> </span>There are many patches of undisturbed trees and bushes mixed in with the crop plants, and these provide habitat for birds, reptiles, and insects.<span> </span>The mentality that every square inch not devoted to the chosen food plant is a piece of ground wasted, does not seem to exist here – perhaps because the amount of land small farmers without industrial methods can cultivate is limited, anyway.”</span></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><em><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;margin:5px;" src="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn103/serviceinperu/YYVillagehouses.jpg" alt="" width="246" height="160" /></span><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The small farmers are not the source of massive deforestation but rather—along with the native rainforest ecosystems, plants, and animals—its victims.<span> </span>During my time in Peru, I saw traces of the real problem in the piles of Red Mahogany logs being shipped upriver—for processing in the jungle city of Iquitos.<span> </span>The timber giants may employ local people, but their activities are carried out in response to demand by US consumers.<span> </span>The same holds true for the petroleum companies devastating the rainforest—over 50% of Peru’s remaining forestland is under concession to oil and gas companies (think LNG, Northwesterners)—and for the Agribusiness giants as well.<span> </span>So far as I’m concerned, Big Timber, Big Oil, and Big Agribusiness make up the Terrible Trio of rainforest destruction in South America.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> <img class="alignleft" style="float:left;margin:5px;" src="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn103/serviceinperu/Logboat1.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="213" /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">So what’s to be done?<span> </span>To save the rainforests—and as a step toward rescuing the climate for all of us—we have to get Corporate America out of Peru and other forested countries.<span> </span>This means fighting the corporate giants on their home turf—individuals boycotting their products is a start (I have boycotted bananas in the US for years), but in the end we’ll need so much more than that.<span> </span>We need to get entire universities, entire store chains, to stop selling products from the rainforests.<span> </span>Even now, I have plans for a campaign this fall that would eliminate palm oil—a food ingredient produced by leveling forests around the world—from the Pacific University cafeteria.<span> </span>And at the national level, we need to strengthen laws that would prevent importation of illegally harvested wood.<span> </span>A massive push to save the rainforests should be as important to the climate movement as the effort to freeze construction of news coal plants, or to make our cars more fuel efficient.<span> </span>A hopeful development, to my mind, is the Rainforest Action Network’s use of some of the same techniques used by the highly successful anti-coal movement to begin pushing <a href="http://ran.org/campaigns/rainforest_agribusiness/">Agribusiness to get out of the rainforests</a>.  A year from now, could the rainforest movement be where the anti-coal movement is today?<span> </span>It’s possible.<span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">In the end, if my amazing experiences in Peru showed me anything, it was that saving the rainforests is not just about wildlife, or even the climate.<span> </span>It is about people, too—people in villages along the Amazon and other rivers, who live close to the land while managing to have a far smaller ecological footprint than us Americans.<span> </span>A schoolchild in the Peruvian Amazon, learning about the way his or her future will be affected by the actions of far-off governments, is the real face of climate action at the frontlines.<span> </span>And that, to me, is part of why saving the rainforests is so important. </span></p>
