== With tinkering, 3D printing can push limits 1 ==

<html>The Objet Eden 260V prints objects, not paper.
A light moved back and forth inside the Stratasys Objet Eden 260V, blue as the one on R2D2’s rotating head. Inside, it was cooking plastic. Layer after layer of polymer was turning a file you see on a screen into an object you hold in your hand.
No big deal to industrial designers who’ve seen some form of this for years. To me, it’s magic.
The Eden 260V is one of several 3D printers that sit unceremoniously at the back of , the tinkerer’s wonderland in Fremont, as if they weren’t out to change the world.
The Eden 260V costs over $100,000, but the game-changing MakerBot Replicator 2X,[http://zuizhongml.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=249 Report- Windows boss Larson_0], sitting on a table a few feet away, is just $2,799. A display case showed off the machines products — everything from detailed figurines to a one-piece replica bike chain, its bendy parts in working order.
Looking at them for the first time last week, I didn’t know what to see. Are these newly cheaper, more accessible machines agents of a new industrial revolution? The in-home “desktop manufacturing” that will let us print a new light bulb at home? Or are they too slow, too geeky and too complicated to be more than glorified tchotchke makers?
The people who’d know are too busy improving them to ask.
Google engineer Johann Rocholl spent some of the latter part of his Fourth of July where you’ll find him many Thursdays — the  in Capitol Hill. That’s where Seattle 3D-printing hobbyists like him gather weekly to test the limits of the technology.
Rocholl s Kossel printer.
Rocholl isn’t into printing things so much as he’s into the printers themselves. MakerBot, which Stratasys acquired this spring for $40 million (and whose CEO, Bre Pettis, once led a paper-airplane-making contest when he lived in Seattle) makes the best- known low-cost machines around.
But it’s got company. Every month,[http://bbs.dghjlq.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=39888 ], at least, someone posts their own design for a 3D printer online, whether it’s for sale, or, as in Rocholl’s case, for pay-it-forward fun.
His first printer, the , was a hit on maker hub Thingiverse last year. Now he’s got a waiting list to fill. He  for his latest printer, the , to anyone who,[http://www.kuqito.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4915972 Windows 8.1 to be released to manufacturers in August], once they assemble the printer, uses it to print parts for two more.
Rocholl has a great job and three kids. But when a colleague showed him an old MakerBot a couple years ago, improvements seemed so obvious that he couldn’t help but take time to tinker. “There was low-hanging fruit all over the place,” he said.
For Joe Heitzeberg, the idea that 3D printers could be handy in the home in just a few years is nuts. “You’re going to get dollar-store crap that took 12 hours to print and cost a ton,” he said.
But as newly minted “makers,” Heitzeberg and fellow entrepreneur Ethan Lowry, co-creator of the Urbanspoon food app, can testify to the printers’ prototyping power. Just nine hours after the two launched Poppy, a device that turns your iPhone into a 3D camera, it . By Friday, it had raised $125,000.
Without their cheap but sturdy 3D-printed prototype, Heitzeberg and Lowry would’ve had to pony up for a market-ready model without having gotten feedback on a anything more than a cardboard cutout.
Joe Heitzeberg and Ethan Lowry made a 3D printed prototype of their 3D phone camera, Poppy, before launching the product on Kickstarter.
Like Rocholl,[http://nunur.pol.ukm.edu.pl/index.php/User:Johnmichael#FairTax_and_the_power_of_hope_2 FairTax and the power of hope 2], Heitzeberg is hooked — not on the printers but on the services. Sites like  serve as 3D-print shops and marketplaces for 3D files. They’re making things easier for people who want to print,[http://prosilentpc.com/wiki/index.php?title=Usuario:Quutxknmeb#New_process_for_obtaining_utility_service_to_begin New process for obtaining utility service to begin], but not easy enough. Heitzeberg wouldn’t say how, but through his and Lowry’s company, Hack Things, he’s going to work in the space.
“If you get in as a maker and entrepreneur, you realize how hard it is, and that means opportunity,” he said.
Every week as a kid I’d watch “Star Trek: The Next Generation” on TV with my parents. And every week, I’d see someone on the Enterprise order a dish or a drink from a machine in a wall.
I know 3D printers are not going to do that for me anytime soon, but even if they re just aimed that way,[http://hd.chuyentin.info/vbb/showthread.php?t=1626482&p=5887868#post5887868 Confirmed- Xbox President Mattrick to head Zynga], I m excited. We ve already printed food, guns, and DNA, Staples just became the first major U.S. retailer to sell a 3D printer last month, and what can I say? I have faith in the tinkerers.
That day last week at Makerhaus, dozens of them teamed up for a competition called . One team used the 3D printers to design smarter earbuds. Another printed small items to lock zippers in place. A third — the winner — printed a prototype wristband and disc for Magneeto, a removable device that attaches to barbells and counts your reps.
I ll take limits, but not excuses. Keep cooking, big gray box. I m expecting big things.</html>

Here are the results from the Olson’s Resort 80th Anniversary Salmon Fishing Derby held last Saturday,[http://music.nenu.edu.cn/syqjpk/upload/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=997477 Ed Murray touts gay], July 6, where more than 300 tickets were sold and anglers found good fishing.
The largest chinook was caught by Eldon Shofstal of Port Angeles and weighed 20.4 pounds and earned him $4,000. Second place was Eric Turnquist of Bremerton with a 20.2 pound king and he took home $1,[http://www.xiaoquexing.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=19726 Mariners head to break with first sweep of season in],300,and third was Rick Felkins of Port Angeles with a? 20.1 pound king than paid off $500.
Corey Anson, city unknown caught the largest coho weighing 7.3 pounds and worth $2,000. The largest pink was caught by James Ryan of Shelton and weighed 5.4 pounds and earned him $1,[http://globleedu.com/plus/view.php?aid=61104 Olson’s Resort Salmon Fishing Derby lures 30],100.
The Strait of Juan de Fuca salmon fishery remains good hatchery chinook, coho and pinks.
A check on Sunday at Olson’s Resort in Sekiu had 66 boats with 160 anglers caught 93 chinook, 56 coho and 25 pinks; and Van Riper’s Resort had 35 boats with 93 anglers caught 49 chinook, 31 coho and seven pinks.
Checks on Saturday at Ediz Hook in Port Angeles showed 88 boats with 194 anglers caught 71 chinook, 16 coho and 137 pinks; and Sunday 65 boats with 145 anglers caught 151 pinks,[http://www.fumimoto-cl.jp/blog/2013/04/4-1.html#comments BHS students awarded Eagle Rank], 28 chinook and eight coho.
A similar catch at the Port Angeles West ramp on Saturday had 44 boats with 105 anglers caught 21 chinook,[http://www.ntyhq.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4970&fromuid=2029 Morning links- Degree in hand, UW’s Keith Price setting ‘different tone’ for], 12 coho and 101 pinks.
The average size of the kings was about 8 to 12 pounds,[http://co2gerechtigkeit.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:Qbiwnsfuki Jim Hightower's Common Sense 3], and the current leading king at Swain’s in Port Angeles is a 32 pounder. Reports from Sekiu also showed a fair number of kings in the 20 to 28 pound range.</html>

== County group looks to prevent motorcycle crashes ==

<html><head><title>html模版</title></head><body>County group looks to prevent motorcycle crashes</br>7/9/2013 10:52:00 AMCounty group looks to prevent motorcycle crashesXENIA In light of the summer season and the increased use of motorcycles on the roadways, Greene County Safe Communities reminds motorists and motorcyclists alike to share the road conscientiously and courteously to help prevent motorcycle crashes.In addition to stressing the mutual responsibilities shared by all users of the road to prevent motorcycle crashes, Laurie Fox,[http://www.ntyhq.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=4991&fromuid=2030 Sub Pop’s Silver Jubilee festival draws thousands to Georgetown], Safe Communities Coordinator, said the priority for all local law enforcement agencies is to make sure motorcyclists, and drivers of all types of vehicles, are obeying state and local laws. Safety is a mutual responsibility for motorists and motorcyclists alike, said Fox. Motorcyclists are about 30 times more likely to die in a crash than passenger vehicle occupants, so whether you are driving the family sedan, an SUV, a school bus, a delivery van,[http://wiki.tech-freaks.net/index.php?title=Usuario:Johnmichael Olson’s Resort Salmon Fishing Derby lures 300 anglers], or an 18-wheeler,[http://bbs.mumubj.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=173200&fromuid=18413 A look at Sounders FC’s roster following the loan acquisition of Andrew We], drivers should always be on the lookout for motorcyclists.Drivers must be aware that a motorcycle,[http://www.87years.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=163353 Saini to serve 15 years to life_1], as one of the smallest of vehicles on the road, can be hiding in your vehicle s blind spots. Always check blind spots, use mirrors and signal before changing lanes or making turns. She added, Motorcyclists have responsibilities too. Riders should obey all traffic laws and be properly licensed,[http://d.nym.jp/archives/2012/02/12233901.html#comments Chestnut and Thomas defend hot dog eating titles_0], alert to other drivers, conspicuous at all times,[http://www.firstkungz.com/wiki/index.php/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89:Qklnrtzdxd#Not_filling_each_waking_moment_-enriching.27_the_kids-_Relax.2C Not filling each waking moment -enriching' the kids- Relax,], never ride impaired or distracted, and always wear a Department of Transportation-compliant (DOT) helmet and other protective gear. This safety advice is particularly timely as motorcycle fatalities in 2011 showed a continued increase to 4,612. Motorcycle fatalities accounted for 14 percent of total highway deaths for the year despite motorcycle registrations representing only about 3 percent of all vehicles in the U.S. Ms. Fox offered the following tips for drivers to help keep motorcyclists safe on our roadways. Remember, a motorcycle is a vehicle with all of the rights and privileges of any other motor vehicle. The person under that helmet could be a mother, brother, doctor, or friend; Always allow a motorcyclist the full lane width never try to share a lane; Perform a regular visual check for motorcycles by checking mirrors and blind spots before entering or exiting a lane of traffic, and at intersections; Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic; Don t be fooled by a flashing turn signal on a motorcycle motorcycle signals are often not self-canceling and riders sometimes forget to turn them off. Wait to be sure the motorcycle is going to turn before you proceed; Allow more following distance - three or four seconds - when behind a motorcycle to give the motorcyclist time to maneuver around obstacles in the roadway, or stop in an emergency; Never ride distracted.Fox said motorcyclists can increase their safety by: Wearing a DOT-compliant helmet; Using turn signals for every turn or lane change, even if the rider thinks no one will see it; Signaling intentions by combining hand signals and turn signals to draw more attention to themselves; Wearing brightly colored protective gear, and using reflective tape and stickers to increase conspicuity; Positioning themselves in the lane where they will be most visible to other drivers; and Never riding while impaired. Our message to all drivers and motorcyclists is: Help to share in the responsibility of keeping all road users safe, and do your part by safely sharing the road, Fox concluded.For additional information on motorcycle safety, visit http://www.nhtsa.gov/Safety/Motorcycles.
