General Discussion / How do I post something like this
October 04, 2011, 08:47:27 am
Several times I've received an email that includes an illustration and when I do a copy and paste the email to pass it on as a post the illustration doesn't come thru. How would I go about adding the illustration?

General Discussion / Sewing Guide

Recently I recall a post inquiring about use of sewing guides and today I received information about a magnetic version, just thought I'd pass it along for whatever it's worth.

General Discussion / This joke too good not to share

        HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT

        The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
        The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :

        Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
        Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
        One student, however, wrote the following:
        First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
        Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
        This gives two possibilities:
        1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
        2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
        So which is it?
        If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

        THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

General Discussion / Re: New sewing machine
September 21, 2011, 05:17:26 pm
 The 1245 Pfaff is a fine machine, I've had one for several years. Pfaff's and The Durkopp Adler both are fine machines originating in Germany but original cost to buy and price of parts and accessories make them less popular.

    Most people will tell you it all started with the Singer 111W155, a compound feed machine without reverse that is still to this day a very acceptable machine. Many other machines have been modeled after the Singer, The CM406RB-1 Chandler, the Consew 206RB-5, and the Seiko STH-8BLD-3 borrow a lot from the Singer and are very similar but not identical. The Juki is another fine choice Used a 563 has been spoken highly of on this board (Mojo has one as well as a Chandler) and there new model I believe would be a 1541S.

    I would suggest contacting Bob Kovar at Toledo Sewing Machine as he is a straight shooter with good prices and lots of help when you need it!
His Ad is in the Suppliers section and his phone number is:  866-362-7397
Give him a call you wont be sorry you did!

This hail was selective as I said it was jagged and ripped small holes in the O.E. style vinyl awnings, but not every one age and gauge of material varied the results.

Saturday night at about 6:30 we had a hail storm in the resort where we keep our Park model mobile home that we use as a summer cottage. Jagged ping pong ball sized hail ripped small holes in a lot of the trailers awnings and everyone is busy today ordering new ones!
