Here's some additional information concerning Johnson's No More Tears for an anit-fungal treatment. It is NOT the most effective anti-fungal because they use Quaternium-15 in their formula. Johnson's No More Ingredients Ingredients Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, PEG-150 Distearate, Fragrance, Polyquaternium-10, Tetrasodium EDTA, Quaternium-15, Citric Acid, Yellow 10 and Orange 4. May also contain: Citric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide. Quaternium-15 is a quaternary ammonium salt used as a preservative in many cosmetics and industrial substances. It acts as a formaldehyde releaser. It is a water soluble anti-microbal agent that has proven active against bacteria, but less active against yeasts. As you can see from one of the cosmetic sites it is not a broad spectrum anti-microbal agent. It has been proven to be less active on yeasts as stated above. Regards, Ben

Thanks Paul. Like the others I am looking forward to new articles. Regards, Ben

Thanks Paul. Anxiously awaiting future ones. Regards, Ben

Paul, I would like to second what Clay articulated so well. Thanks again. Regards, Ben

Ed, WOW on the relief. The photos are absolutely great. Did I say that they were absolutely great. The selection of various leaves and the dye/colors are outstanding. Regards, Ben

Ed, The inside center looks very nice. Is that your schrimshaw? Regards, Ben

The horn cap is unique. The material selection is good. These photos make it difficult to give good or bad critiques. I would strongly suggest larger and more detailed pictures. With larger pictures and closeups then others can give you good critiques, Some larger photos from the side and top (for seat shape) and any others that you would like for others to look at like one from the back to see tightness of the back jockeys, seat ears, etc.... Obviously you have already spent some time in it already. Regards, Ben

Thanks for the proofing... I have sent off an updated snapshot so it should be updated. Thanks again Regards, Ben

There you go Josh....the latest and greatest info... I thought that he was coming back this week. Thanks. Regards, Ben

Josh, He's teaching down under so don't expect a quick response from him right now. Just a fair warning..... Regards, Ben

Joe, Most likely it is a corrupt java install as denoted by the module message and stack trace dump or it could be a bad memory module. I would consider first uninstalling java and making sure it is clean in the registry as well. Then performing a reinstall. If that doesn't correct your problem then try a memory utility that will exercise your memory. Regards, Ben

Joe, If you do not see the browse button then you have the Flash uploader enabled. If you go to the Posting Settings and uncheck the box "Enable flash uploader" - turn it off and this should make the browse button reappear that dickf mentioned. You did not mention the version of Firefox that you have either. I tested on a virtual Win98 machine with SP2 that has 256 MB memory, Firefox 3.5.3 and the flash uploader disabled and it worked. I guess that brings up lots of other questions about how much RAM, page file size and % used ...assuming the obvious that there is no malware or viruses on the machine (up to date antivrus and anti0malware software running and machine recently checked for any infiltrations). Regards, Ben

Bob, In making many comparisons over the years I would have to say that the point and shoot Canons as a whole tend to soften their pictures as you zoom and the ISO numbers change (generally above 100). If you are going with these then I would probably not get the G10 after reading the reviews. Regards, Ben

Brent, To answer your question about them being fat at one time and knowing the dairy that they came from. The simple answer would be No. They were never fat at this dairy...that would have meant that they were wasting feed. At one time that idea about breeds and such interested me as well so I asked the same question. They had other dairy breeds like Devons, Guernseys, Swiss, Jerseys, Aryshires and various crosses to name a few that came through as well. They also had crosses of them as well as with beef cattle breeds like Brangus, Herefords and so forth. These guys also had Angus, Brangus, Herefords, Maine-Anjou, Santa Gertrudis, Simmental, Charolais, Beefmaster, Chianina, Limousin and the various crosses come through as well and tracked the look and feel of hides for years. They had a thought at the time that cattle who were fed in troughs (like feedlots and dairy farms) were more apt to this marking due to the rapid influx of protein but they were still gathering information and I never checked back with their experiment but they had several hundred hides at that time to make it a viable supposition and almost 95% confirmation of that supposition. Unfortunately they are out of business and I have not kept up with them. Now you know all that I know...which isn't much. Regards, Ben

I'm with Bruce on the names...that's what we were taught by the butchers. However, the worst lines that I have ever seen on the grain side of a hide came from several skinny Holstein milk cows. So based on those I don't believe that it is was actually fat that created fat wrinkles either. Regards, Ben

Jon, Great to see you posting again! Very nice clean lines. That is a sharp saddle with a great finish! How many of these light weight Wades have you done? Regards, Ben

I personally don't use the border tools. Using the border tools on curves is almost impossible....way to difficult at least to me. However others use them quite well. Bob's comment on light cuts first may be the best advice so far... Regards, Ben

Sal, As Marlon mentioned there are beader blades and there are beading tools (these can be single or multiple beads). It sounds as if you are using a swivel knife. There are several ways to attack this problem. If you are having a difficult time following a line from a pair of dividers then here's a couple of suggestions. Have you used your finger on the side for a guide to set the distance (like using your fingers on the side of a circular saw to set distance)? If that doesn't work then you could use other aids like the Craftool Border tool for swivel knives. Of course if you use other straight edges with a single blade you have to make sure that knife blade doesn't undercut. Regards, Ben

Russell, Jim mentioned one starting point for benches but there are actually two ergonomic starting points for designing benches (1) Measure from the floor to the bottom of your elbow. Subtract the height of material and such you are working on and this becomes the working height of the bench. This is generally for things that are a certain height and are worked in close to your body where you don't reach out to the end of or near the end of your arms reach...These benches are not intended for long projects. (2) The other one for longer projects that you extend your reach with or for "generic" workbenches, Jim's number is spot on. Measure to the hip joint and most of the time add 1". However I have had several people who were taller and had short arms that wound up adding 2" to make an ideal workbench for them An easy way to determine if you fall into that category is if your pant inseam and sleeve length are significantly different. One of these guys had 40 inch inseams and 35 inch sleeve lengths. One of the things that I do for those people with "non-standard"measurements when setting up workbenches is to get it at the genericheight and then have them add 1/2" blocks and test it for a week ortwo. A couple we have added 1-1/2" to 2" inches to. REMEMBER These are starting points that work for about 95+% of the population. ***** Another key to remember is that a pair of riding boots, a pair of ropers and a pair of athletic shoes will impact the hip measurement. Just something else to consider when taking a measurement. Another design feature to consider is the addition of a foot rest. This helps rest your feet mainly as you stand. By switching legs and feet you can stand a little longer. Consider the use of ergonomic mats on the floor as well. Usually what I have found in ergonomics is that the individuals gain a huge benefit by adjusting the height of the workbench and then they start having lower back problems as they stand more and more. So the use of a mat helps reduce this. ***** Of course this will impact your height also. Sit-stand stations are the only way to go because you can switch between standing and sitting to help break up the positions. The stool that Jim mentions is a standard one that a lot of ergonomic practitioners recommend to help people in an almost standing position. It helps take the pressure off of their legs and back....this is used a lot for people who have physiatic problems also. However the drafting style chairss that raise and lower are excellent choices as well and they generally have a back with which you can change even more positions. However if this is only for a cutting station only you most likely will not need a back on a stool or chair unless it doubles duty at a tooling station as well. Stretches sound simple and silly but many times these help during the day and at the beginning of the day to loosen the muscles up. This is especially true for long extended periods of repetitive motions, bending and so forth. Regards, Ben

That's really neat. How much time, effort, research and trial and error did you have in this first one? Regards, Ben

Johanna, Whenever you get the opportunity. It is a handy feature to archive all the posts together with the pictures. Regards, Ben

Luke, Thanks! Mine is already set to Massive Brown Crystals instead of the Lo-Fi version. However my issue is specific to the actual downloading of the topic/post. I am able to see them fine in my browser but they don't come through when you download them for archival purposes. If you look above where you told me to click there is a Fast Reply and then about that is one called Share This Topic and one of the items is Download. This is what I am referring to. Regards, Ben

I don't know how many people use the archival function but I use it a lot because it saves time. I have tested this with the following browsers Firefox 3.5.3 IE 6.0.2900.2180 IE 8.0.6001.18813 I have also tested in all the Download categories as well... Printer Friendly Version Download HTML Version Download Microsoft Word Version Since the upgrade to IP.Board 3, there are some issues with the downloads. (1) All downloads are now right justified (2) New posts have no pictures, links or thumbnails. At this time, it does not appear to be a browser related issue because all three yield the same right justification for PRE & POST upgrade topics. It might be as simple as a change in the CSS table that governs this. For all three Download categories there are no pictures, thumbnails or links to any of the POST upgrade topics. I have performed sample tests on all 3 browsers for a couple of topics posted for today (POST upgrade) and a couple of (PRE upgrade) posts as well. I can send all of the others later if required but they all yield the same output so I will only send one set at this time. Two from today (New Post ----) and a couple from the PRE upgrade (Old Post ----)< New Post ----New_Western_.html New Post ----shaving_kit.html Old Post ----Charro_Horn_.html Old Post ----Cinchas.html Thanks.

JW, Like Bob, I flat missed this thread. They look nice! Bruce was mentioning some cinch DVDs the other day. Glad I saw this one pop up. Good work as always. Regards, Ben

Just checking to see what your finished racks looked like and any photos you might have. Regards, Ben
