Photos will follow soon. Software Application Purpose Source Comments eMachineShop I started using eMachineShop's software with the original intention of having them make parts for me. Their prices were so high, and turnarounds so long, that it turned out to be cheaper to purchase my own CNC and learn something I've been fascinated by since childhood. I ended up doing some of my original work in eMachineShop. Then exporting to a DXF and using Cut2D to conv…

To re-flash a Meraki with the OpenMesh firmware (info source): In your browser. Click the 'advanced' link and it should show your firmware version in the lower corner. If it doesn't, you will need to use an SSH client (I use PuTTY) to connect. Use the same address as above (my.meraki.net or 10.128.128.128) and login with username 'meraki' and the password will be password will be the unit's serial number 'xxx-xxx-xxx'.

Coupled with the fact that Portland has an absolutely amazing tango community, which is unique in its structure; unlike nearly any larger or smaller Argentine Tango community throughout the world, we've never fractured, nor broadly supported competition amongst varying styles and instructors.

mondinidysplasia

Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:28:05 -0700

Mondini syndrome, also known as Mondini dysplasia or a Mondini malformation is a genetic condition (autosomal recessive) where the cochlea is incomplete, with only one and a half turns instead of the normal two and a half turns. This results in gradual or even sudden hearing loss that can be profound in nature.

So, please do yourself a favor, and do your own research. I am not a lawyer, and the following is no…

This page attempts to visually demonstrate conductive and sensorineural hearing losses, and their relationship to hearing aids. If you're like most people, the only hearing loss you've experienced is a conductive loss; one found when catching a cold. Hearing Aids are good solutions for conductive losss, but they do little to correct a sensorineural loss, especially for a child, or anyone adapting to a recent decline in hearing.

It is possible for the recipient of a junk fax to bring a private suit against the violator in an appropriate court of their state. Through a private suit, the recipient can either recover the actual monetary loss that resulted from the TCPA violation, or receive $500 in damages for each violation, whichever is greater. The court may triple the damages for each violation if it finds that the defendant acted willingly or knowingly. The FCC and/or the FTC can impose additional civil penalties of u…
