If you only want to cut wide planks for tables or furniture buy a bandmill. ![]() The other disadvantages is cutting width with an 21" blade your are limited to 17" wide boards if you cut from both sides. I mostly cut large timbers for my timber frame business so this was not an issue for me. The only disadvantages I have found are larger kerfs or 1/4" if you are cutting a lot of 1" boards this can be costly. I looked at the lucas and peterson mills as well but after talking to with brand x and getting a demo at their shop I purchased local(the are built in MT!) I found the brand X mill to be excellent. Consistent water cooling is key, lock your logs down well and dont try to cut to fast when your in difficult wood. I did have a learning curve and ruined several blades in my own operator ignorance. ![]() I have only purchased 5 blades with my mill and have cut in excess of 80k board feet. With blade mills you often make smaller width and depths cuts this makes them straighter as well. Swing blades mills typically make straighter cuts, this is partly due to the ease of sharpening so you always keep your blade sharp. Using the "setworks" most mills use you can quickly easily cut of 2圆 lumber accurately and fast. I have also cut timbers as large as 16"x24". The only time I ever turn logs is if I want to cut a very large timber over 8.5"x17" or large tabletops. With a band saw you have to cut slabs and then turn them on end to make the opposing cut. For example if you want to cut a 2圆 you cut down the log 6" deep and then turn the head and cut the 2" side cut on the return pass. with a swing blade mill you cut both vertically and horizontally, in doing this you dont ever need to turn or move the log. ![]() This allows me to use a lot of logs that are normally considered worthless. With a swing blade mill you have a lot more versatility in cutting around unwanted portions. I saw a lot of reclaimed and partial damaged/rotten/checked logs. Typical resharpen times are around 2-3 minutes. With most swing blade mills you can re-sharpen/tune the blade without removing the blade. The major benefits I have found with swing blade mills are:įaster sharpening and blade life between change outs. Always do the math, Ignore the hate, and be a good sport we can't win them all and not everyone in the app knows how to play only play 4 player team spades anything else is not a game of Spades, it is just another card game not a game of Spades."Just my opinion". To win 1,000,000 coins in Spades Plus, you can play in the Tournament Rooms and win the most coins. Shuffle the remaining cards and deal them out to each player. ![]() Here’s how: Get a standard deck of 52 cards and remove all of the cards from 2 to 6. No longer do you need to wait for players to play their turns Just log on, and start playing. Before you can start playing Spades, you need to set up the game. The site boasts of a ‘sophisticated Artificial Intelligence engine’ that makes gameplay a lot more fun. Basic strategy, watch the board, and watch your partners play, what is he saying to you with the cards. You can play with friends and family or with a large online community of players. If you’re looking for a clean-interfaced game just to practice your Spade skills, 247 is a great site to do that. If you have ever played cards in person "on the street so to speak" then you know this is the game of spades and anything but cheating lol. The reasoning behind this is they claim the partner knows how I play and the same for me knowing how they play lol. I have been called a cheat for playing with the same partners a lot of times. The biggest challenge is finding a partner that plays well and that will stay on the table long enough to matter. Recovering coins from the app lost while being cheated is not easy but screenshots of the players and all the information that goes with the game in question are a must, I write these losses off to the cost of playing online but again it is not that big of a deal to me as cheating doesn't happen that often in my experience. If you are playing for large amounts it is wise to know when you are being cheated and when you are just being outplayed. You need to expect and learn to identify cheating, I don't worry much about the cheating as they don't play well and don't stay on long usually, especially when they lose lol. First, you are playing a simulation, an algorithm that is based on the promoters/developers making money first. However, You need to understand and accept a few things other than the basic Spades 4-player team strategy. ![]() Hearts is played to 100 points, when a player reaches this score, the game ends. ![]() To answer your question, "Yes" it is possible to win more than 1.5 million playing legit. If a player has won all 13 hearts and the Queen of Spades, that player can choose to subtract 26 points from his score, or to add 26 points to every other players score. I have been a moderator on a Facebook group, not a league just a group for 6 years now. The game follows the standard rules of Spades, where you and your partner aim to win tricks and meet or exceed your bid. ![]() Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) – is a calculation of the amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin inside your RBCs.High Hgb can occur due to lung disease, living at high altitudes, or excessive bone marrow production of blood cells. Hemoglobin (Hgb) and Hematocrit (Hct) – Low Hgb or Hct suggests anemia.High levels can mean pulmonary (lung) problems. Red Blood Count (RBC) – Both high and low values can point to abnormal conditions and require further evaluations.Low white counts can be a sign of bone marrow disease or an enlarged spleen. White Blood Count (WBC) – High WBC can be a sign of infection or leukemia.Abnormal results may indicate heart or liver damage. AST, ALT and Alkaline PhosphataesĮnzymes which help all the chemical activities within cells to take place. High values might indicate bone or liver damage and require further evaluation. High values need further evaluation by a physician because of possible liver problems. Albumin/Globulin RatioĪ mathematical relationship between the above. ![]() Globulin is the “antibody” protein important for fighting disease. They are a general index of overall health and nutrition. This is a measure the amount and type of protein in your blood. If total protein is abnormal, further tests must be performed to identify which protein fraction is abnormal. This measurement can reflect nutritional status, kidney disease, liver disease, and many other conditions. Low calcium can be due to certain metabolic disorders or use of diuretics. High levels can be due to use of diuretics or kidney problems. Indicate the sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate balance in your body. Chloride generally increases or decreases in direct relationship to sodium. Important in maintaining normal levels of water in the body. Any value outside the expected range, high or low, requires medical evaluation. Important for the proper functioning of the nerves and muscles, particularly the heart. High levels may indicate excessive sodium intake or kidney disease. Low sodium levels may indicate diuretic usage or excessive water intake in patients with heart or liver disease. This is used in making a definitive diagnosis about the cause for elevated BUN and/or Creatinine levels. The mathematical relationship of the two. Low levels may indicate liver disease or decreased muscle mass. People with large muscle masses may have elevated levels. High values, especially with high BUN levels, may indicate problems with kidneys or muscle damage. Low levels may indicate an iron deficient diet. High levels may indicate kidney disease, congestive heart failure or severe burns. ![]() Abnormal values require further evaluation. This is a measure of the sugar level in your blood. High levels seem to be associated with low incidence of coronary heart disease. HDL CholesterolĪ “good cholesterol.” It protects against heart disease. An LDL level of less than 130 is recommended. LDL CholesterolĬonsidered “bad cholesterol” because cholesterol deposits form in the arteries when LDL levels are high. Our bodies need a certain amount to function properly. High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart and blood vessel disease. CholesterolĬholesterol is different from most tests in that it is not used to diagnose or monitor a disease, but is used to estimate risk of developing a disease – specifically heart disease. High levels may also indicate poorly controlled diabetes. Triglyceridesīlood tests used to identify the risk of developing heart disease. I urge you to discuss your results, especially any abnormalities, with your physician. Only your doctor can determine if further testing or treatment is needed. An abnormal result does not necessarily indicate illness. Most laboratories set their normal range for a particular test so that 95% of healthy patients fall within the normal range. These variations may be due to such things as race, diet, age, sex, menstrual cycle, physical activity, medications and alcohol intake. It is important to realize that laboratory results may be outside of the so-called “normal range” for many reasons. ![]() Yet another British classic, the Spitfire convertible doesn't have a lot of grunt, but is perfect for relaxing country drives.

![]() Kids are free to roam the streets and there is, at many times, a feeling of almost untouched innocence to life here. The architecture is gorgeous with quaint little tree lined streets and colorful historical buildings still very much a part of daily life. ![]() Even though housing, living costs, and taxes are insanely expensive, the trade off is that schooling is free as well as medical care. Sometimes that meant bringing along things that I did not necessarily see any value in, such as the cheap plastic Christmas water globe that my daughter insisted on bringing to Morocco, but every year since she tells me how much it means to her to have it with her and I kind of love that.Ī: I could go on and on for days about all the things I love about Copenhagen. Not all of our moves have been long term, but we have always brought special artwork and family photos so that we could quickly put something on the walls that felt familiar.įor our kids, we always placed emphasis on their one special bag that they could put anything they wanted in, which always included their favorite blanket and toys.

Q: How do you remake your home every time you move?Ī: We have never been the type to sell everything we own and carry nothing to the next place except a change of clothes and a toothbrush. We would happily go back to either place in a heart beat, but for now we know we are meant to be in Denmark, a bittersweet realization for sure. I loved eating couscous with our friends on Fridays, sipping mint tea and eating homemade butter cookies while chatting about everything from world peace to getting our kids to sleep better at night. They were precious beyond words, taking us into the hearts and their lives as if we were their own flesh and blood. While learning oral Arabic was one of the hardest things we have ever done, and having to dress so modestly was an adjustment for me, we fell in love with the people. We loved the Spanish food, the gorgeous architecture, the lively people, and the fact that while living in Barcelona we were sounded by mountains yet lived within walking distance to the beach. ![]() We absolutely loved living in Spain and Morocco, and really struggled through our decision to leave.

Q: How did this house turn into your home?Ī: It’s funny because we didn’t even know we were going to move until a month before we moved into our current home with a camera crew from House Hunters International along for the ride to document our 20th move! Our landlord suddenly contacted us asking for his apartment back so we immediately started looking for a new place to live.

Richard and Karen Carpenter were, indeed, on top of the world. Globally, they were hugely successful, as well, with 1974 tour stops in Japan getting Beatlemania-like fan receptions. They topped the Billboard Top 200 album chart with The Singles: 1969-1973, scored three Hot 100 No. The Carpenters won three Grammy Awards, and an American Music Award. The record was an overnight smash and on July 25, 1970, the Richard-repunctuated “(They Long To Be) Close to You” marked the first of a four-week run atop the Hot 100, marking the start of an unbroken string of top-20 Hot 100 hits that would continue for an astounding six years, including such classics as “For All We Know,” “Rainy Days And Mondays” and “Superstar.” But Alpert believed that with an arrangement by Richard, Karen’s marvelous alto and the duo’s multi-tracked harmonies, the song could have potential, and he was absolutely right. The first album, Offering (later repackaged and retitled Ticket to Ride), was a collection of re-recordings of songs originally done in busy session bassist Joe Osborn’s garage studio, along with some newly composed tunes and covers. Offering offered a hint of what was coming: masterful production and arrangements, and a voice on the verge of all-time greatness.Īfter Offering, Karen and Richard were almost immediately back in the studio working on the next record, when Alpert suggested they record a Burt Bacharach-Hal David song that had been tucked away for years: “They Long To Be Close To You.” Neither Carpenter was thrilled with the choice. 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. After glimmers of success in other iterations, by the late ’60s, they became a duo: Carpenters.Īfter Richard and Karen signed with A&M Records on April 22, 1969, label co-founder Herb Alpert said, “Let’s hope we have some hits.” Seven months later, the duo delivered the first: a daring deconstruction of The Beatles’ “Ticket to Ride.” Richard and Karen transformed The Fab Four’s raw, rocking classic into a lushly produced, plaintively sung ballad. While there, Karen fell for the drums and Richard found Karen’s voice. ![]() So, in June of 1963, the family moved to a suburb of L.A., Downey, California. Dad, who was an avid record collector, hated the frigid New England winters. The short-form story of the Carpenters is that Richard and Karen grew up with dad and mom, Harold and Agnes, in New Haven, Connecticut. It’s for those who fondly remember, those who have long loved, as well as for those about to be introduced to the music of Richard and Karen Carpenter. Some 50 years on, the Carpenters remain among the best-selling legacy acts worldwide.Īnd now there’s the newly produced Carpenters With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (dropping December 7), with fresh orchestrations augmenting the original recordings. A 2017 Rolling Stone article reflected on Karen and Richard’s work, noting there “has been a gradual reassessment and celebration of Karen’s extraordinary contralto and The Carpenters’ catalog.” And, over time, most opinion makers eventually came around. The public caught on immediately, making the Carpenters the top-selling American artists of the 1970s. With a trademark sound highlighted by brother Richard’s multi-layered production and sister Karen’s timeless voice, the Carpenters set a new standard for melodic pop. ![]() ![]() Videos of the matches are also available from the video tab.Īdditionally, if you sign into Twitch and follow the Overwatch League, you will be notified when broadcasts, and rebroadcasts, are about to begin.
