![]() It’s also a little bit easier to get Super’Trons to break up, as they are tremendously touch-sensitive. They use steel blades instead of poles, so they have extra inductance, which translates to fuller, punchier tone across the whole harmonic spectrum. The fine people at TV Jones have done a bang-up job of replicating the classic sound of the original 1960s Super’Trons, and we think they give these Falcon Juniors a whole ‘nother flavor of killer Gretsch tone. Speaking of awesome sounds, that brings us to the next most important feature of our Falcon Juniors: their killer TV Jones Super’Tron pickups. As a result, we believe they deliver an incredible playing experience without sacrificing the rich sound Gretsches are known for. Gretsch Falcons really are the Cadillacs of hollowbodies, and, like their vehicular counterparts, Falcons are really big! Our Falcon Juniors still have a big personality, but because they come in a smaller package, they are a little easier on the back, arms, and shoulders. This means that they have slightly more focused, defined tonal character as opposed to the broader sound of the Falcon, but the main effect has to do with ergonomics. Length of body (to end of Bigsby): Junior 21” Regular 21.5”Īs you can see, our Falcon Juniors are about five to ten percent smaller than a normal Falcon in most key areas. The most obvious difference between our Wildwood Exclusive Falcon Juniors is their smaller size after all, we call them Juniors for a reason! To give you an idea of the differences between the two models, here’s a handy-dandy side-by-side comparison of all their various dimensions: Let’s take a closer look and see why these jammin’ Juniors get the Wildwood staff so revved up! Well, if a normal Falcon is the guitar equivalent of a blinged-out Coupe De Ville, our Wildwood Exclusive Falcon Juniors are like Corvettes: sleek, hot-rodded little numbers that carry the pedigree and tradition of the Falcon name with a few high-performance tweaks that give discerning modern players the feel and sound they crave. It was a huge, luxurious guitar with a larger-than-life personality in other words, it was the Cadillac of hollowbodies. However, the Falcon generated so much interest when they debuted it at the 1954 NAMM show that they had no choice but to turn their one-off guitar into a production model. It was a larger-than-life prototype meant to represent the loftiest ideals of lutherie, much like the one-off show cars that the Big Three automakers would send to automotive trade shows with huge fins and ridiculous, over-the-top opulent design. The Gretsch Falcon began was supposed to be nothing more than a marketing stunt. ![]() ***Here is in depth information directly from Wildwood Guitars' original listing***** PLAY AND TRADE GUITARS // PLAY IT and TRADE IT.

It wasn't THAT long ago that HD was on the verge of folding yet here they are whistling past the graveyard. Knowing that, the idea that they continue to knowingly produce an inferior poorly designed product boggles the mind. Take a look at HD stock over the last 5 yrs vs. What number comes to mind when the word few enters the topic? always thought it was in the area of 7 or eight not thousands upon thousands. Maybe they should see what's going on in the retail world. Maybe HD thinks they are "too big to fail" If this was a issue with Indian and they pulled this "Potty mouth", it would be more than Victory riding off into the sunset for sure. why the policy of piss the customers off, with all the time and money it cost the dealers and H-D itself. if a design problem recall, fix the damn thing and move on. Thinking the same the other day, if there is only say a few with this issues, jump on it, fix the issue. Bike did everything it was supposed to do and did it very well but I REFUSE to pay good money for a design that has so many flaws and the MOCO stonewalling or flat out refusing to make it right. I took a 114 fatbob out for a test ride and really liked it. It's almost like their trying to make the MOCO fail. If that is the case very little will happen. Yes I hope they Motor Company does not want it all done in the Dealers Shop. Guys in the Shop (Dealers Shop) say they do not check volume when they change fluids. Hope they don't come up with some BS this all had to be done at your dealer. Great, You are on top of this game for sure. Just hope they come through and I get the problem resolved before head to Alaska in a couple years. I have no problem with the company collecting data. They called me to inform me that Harley Davidson now requires full documentation of how much oil transferred, Bikes VIN # and some other information before they would send the deflector kit. They scheduled my bike for the installation of Transmission oil deflector kit. We have been talking about the issue over the last year and they wanted full documentation which I provided them. I photographed the volume of oil and took the photos to my dealer. Last oil change at 15,000 miles I carefully measured the primary and transmission oil.

The total time includes approximately 25 hours of studying the plan and preparing the list of materials to buy. The whole desk will be made from red oak that is ready available in our area. As this desk will replace two other storage cabinets, another requirement is that there be some kind of "hutch" on top of it all. I really don't see the point as I would know where they are, but. And then of course some secret compartments. She likes the roll top, but above all lots of little drawers and cubby holes. My wife, Jeannette, wanted to have a roll top desk for a long time. There is also a variety of hidden magnetic locks that you could purchase online and in hardware stores.Ībove is the magnetic lock system used in the instructable as well as an alternative setup as described above.Roll Top Desk - 367 hours - Can$ 2715.00 - Advanced It would open by pushing the magnet down with the opposite side of another magnet. ![]() Other locking systems could include having the rod go up into the table surface instead of the sides. Test that the rod goes through and using the strong adhesive, stick the tube so that the open side is flat against the side wood. Now add the spring and rod to the magnet (I used their magnetic properties to keep them together without adhesive). Then mark where the metal rod will go through the side wood and drill a hole big enough for it to slide past but small enough to prevent it from jiggling. Place a cap to prevent the magnet from exiting the back end of the tube. Firstly, cut the tube so that the magnet has enough room to slide back and forth while preventing the rod from exiting the side wood. I also added a spring to make it automatically lock. Additionally, you could also position the lock so that the rod goes into the side drawers as well allowing you to effectively have a lock for two compartments on the table. The magnet will have a rod attached that protrudes out past the drawer which will effectively go into the side of the table. For my system, you will have a horizontal tube that holds the magnet. I decided to use a magnetic system because it doesn't require an evident opening or key hole. There are a variety of locking systems that you could use. Take the dimensions of the railings as well when planning. ![]() The top wood of my table surface was also much thicker and stronger than the sides. This also allowed me to place the locking mechanism facing the side wood. This is because I will not be storing heavy items. Where do you want your railings or sliding mechanism? Usually they are placed on the sides but I decided to attach them to the top. Where do you want the locking system so that it doesn't interfere with the functionality of the drawer? Keep it away from magnetic materials that could effect its motion or devices that could get damaged. You could either paint it, plaster it or use matching wood. Think of ways to match the secret drawer with the rest of the table. Decide what you want to carry in the drawer and calculate how much it would weigh to determine what materials and dimensions to use. Take note that a person must still be able to comfortably sit without the drawer interfering with leg space. ![]() These are some of the points you may need to consider for this project: - For my table I had to make sure that I didn't drill into the other side drawers which could prevent them from opening. Draw out a plan to provide you with all the specifications. For this particular project you need to be fully aware of the dimension, sizes and restrictions that could effect the outcome. Before you start with a task, you should always have a solid plan and understanding of the project. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Through continual renewal of its sources of artificial illumination, the Tower has benefited from the latest innovations in lighting equipment from the very beginning – from gas to electricity, incandescent lamps to neon, passing from sodium to high-pressure, and most recently LEDs.īecause the Tower’s usual equipment was not designed for special illuminations (colors, flags, messages), these generally require external lighting to be brought in for each occasion. Throughout the course of its existence, the Eiffel Tower has been host to lighting effects of a festive nature. Sparkling Moments in the History of the Eiffel Tower Except during summer, when the Tower closes at 00:45 : the Tower lights and beacon are switched off at 1.00am, except for the sparkling lights remaining during a few minutes. The sparkling lights are superimposed over the golden lighting, they bring the monument to life for 5 minutes every hour on the hour once the Tower has been lit up.Īs part of the City of Paris emergency energy saving plan launched in September 2022, the Eiffel Tower lights will now be switched off completely from 11.45pm. This beacon resonates the image of Gustave Eiffel's Tower itself as a universal and symbolic landmark. ![]() The lamps are cooled to prevent overheating and a heating system is activated when the temperatures drop below zero Centigrade whilst the lights are off. The xenon 6000 watt lamps were chosen for their longevity, around 1,200 hours. Since their rotation sweep is 90°, they are synchronized to form a double beam in a cross that pivots around 360°. They are operated by automatically piloted computer programs. The beacon, sending out two light beams with a reach of 80 kilometres, is composed of 4 "marine" motorised projectors. On 31 December 1999 at the approach of midnight, the entire world will discover the beacon and the Tower's sparking lights. In 2020, the 28 projectors that illuminate the steps in the outstretched portions of the four pillars will be replaced to reduce the installed power by 80%. In December 2019, the four 2000W projectors that had illuminated the antenna since 1985 were replaced by LED versions that are 10 times less powerful and consume 10 times less energy. The last operation took place in spring 2019.Ĭontrary to popular beliefs, the Tower’s nightly illumination, it’s golden glow, only represents about 4% of the monument’s annual energy expenses. Since that time and every four years, a team of SETE technicians has replaced the 336 projector bulbs that wrap the Eiffel Tower in golden light every evening. Their improved output of light preserves all the beauty of the overall appearance. an energy consumption saving of around 40%. In 2004, they were replaced by projectors with an electrical power of 600 watts as opposed to the previous 1KW, i.e. This is activated upon nightfall by the sensors. The projectors are turned on in under 10 minutes. ![]() ![]() ![]() To list the content of the tar.bz2 file, issue the following command.

![]() ![]() So unless you need to check if a key exists in an array with null being a valid value, you can use either function. isset() is also more readable than array_key_exists(). Isset() is 1.08x faster than array_key_exists() because it is a language construct and array_key_exists() is a function. Let’s check out the performance of both functions, by looping over an array 1,000,000 times and checking if a key exists in the array. Which Is Faster: isset() or array_key_exists()? The isset () function will generate a warning or e-notice when the variable does not exists. ![]() The empty () function is an inbuilt function in PHP that is used to check whether a variable is empty or not. Var_dump(array_key_exists('key1', $array_with_null_value)) // trueĪs you can see, the only difference between isset() and array_key_exists() occurs when evaluating the array with a null value.Įvaluating an empty array, an array with or without a key, or an array with an empty string will return the same result for both isset() and array_key_exists(). The isset () function is an inbuilt function in PHP that is used to determine if the variable is declared and its value is not equal to NULL. Var_dump(isset($array_with_null_value)) // false Test 4: isset() vs array_key_exists() with array with null value Var_dump(array_key_exists('key1', $array_with_empty_string)) // true Var_dump(isset($array_with_empty_string)) // true Test 3: isset() vs array_key_exists() with array with empty string Var_dump(array_key_exists('key1', $test_array)) // true Test 2: isset() vs array_key_exists() with array with key Var_dump(array_key_exists('key1', $empty_array)) // false Test 1: isset() vs array_key_exists() with empty array While isset() and array_key_exists() can both be used to check if a key exists in an array, and will return the same result in most cases, isset() will return false if the value of the key is null, while array_key_exists() will return true.Ĭheck out the example below: $empty_array = Let’s take a look at the difference between the two.

Lindsay et al reported that, irrespective of bone density, having 1 or more VCFs leads to a 5-fold increase in the patient's risk of developing another vertebral fracture. Studies have suggested that having 1 VCF increases the risk of future VCFs. It is estimated that approximately 44 million Americans have osteoporosis and that an additional 34 million Americans have low bone mass. 15, 16 This structural deterioration of the tissue leads to fragile bones that are prone to fractures. Decreased bone mineral density because osteoporosis disrupts the bone microarchitecture and alters the contents of noncollagenous proteins in the bone matrix. 13, 14 Postmenopausal women have the greatest risk because of hormonal changes that can lead to osteoporotic bone. The most common etiology of VCFs is osteoporosis, although trauma, 12 infection, and neoplasm can also lead to VCFs. 10, 11Įtiology of Vertebral Compression Fractures of the Spine 8, 9 VCFs also significantly increase medical costs: the estimated annual cost of VCFs in the US is $746 million. 5, 7, 8 The progressive decline in health status likely contributes to increased morbidity and mortality in patients with VCF compared to the general population. Multiple adjacent VCFs can lead to progressive kyphosis of the thoracic spine, resulting in a number of comorbidities, such as decreased appetite resulting in poor nutrition and decreased pulmonary function. Chronic back pain, which is associated with these kinds of fractures, leads to functional limitations and significant disability. 4–6 Vertebral compression fractures are as common in Asian women as in Caucasian women, and less common in African-American women.Īlthough less severe than hip fractures, VCFs can cause severe physical limitations. However, their risk is markedly less than that of women of the same age. 4 Men older than age 65 years are also at increased risk of compression fractures. 3 Population studies have shown that the annual incidence of VCFs is 10. ![]() 2 The prevalence of this condition increases with age, reaching 40% by age 80. 1 Approximately 25% of all postmenopausal women in the US get a compression fracture during their lifetime. Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) of the thoracolumbar spine are common in the elderly, with approximately 1.5 million VCFs annually in the general US population. ![]() ![]() ![]() My CSS reset is quite short (only 11 declarations!), and yet I've managed to spend an entire blog post talking about them. This rule will prevent that image from growing beyond its container, which feels like much more sensible default behavior to me. If an image has a "native" size of 800×600, the element will also be 800px wide, even if we plop it into a 500px-wide parent. Most block-level elements will automatically grow/shrink to fit their parent, but media elements like are special: they're known as replaced elements, and they don't follow the same rules. This is done to keep large images from overflowing, if they're placed in a container that isn't wide enough to contain them. If you've ever had a mysterious 4px gap that wasn't margin or padding or border, it was probably the “inline magic space” that browsers add with line-height.īy setting display: block on all images by default, we sidestep a whole category of funky issues. If we try to use an inline element in our layout, though, weird things happen. Typically, I treat images the same way I treat paragraphs or headers or sidebars they're layout elements. ![]() This doesn't jive with how I use images most of the time. This implies that they should be used in the middle of paragraphs, like or. So here's a weird thing: images are considered "inline" elements. We need to explicitly turn it off, by setting -webkit-font-smoothing to antialiased. I'm guessing they realized that it was doing more harm than good on modern hardware.Ĭonfusingly, MacOS browsers like Chrome and Safari still use subpixel antialiasing by default. In MacOS Mojave, released in 2018, Apple disabled subpixel antialiasing across the operating system. If you look at a modern monitor under a microscope, you won't see an orderly grid of R/G/B lines anymore. The physical arrangement of pixel LEDs has changed as well. Today's pixels are much smaller, invisible to the naked eye. Here's the problem: that article was written in 2012, before the era of high-DPI “retina” displays. You may have read a popular blog post, Stop “Fixing” Font Smoothing, that advocates against switching to “antialiased”. In the past, this was seen as an accessibility win, because it improved text contrast. This is a technique that aims to make text easier to read, by leveraging the R/G/B lights within each pixel. On MacOS computers, the browser will use “subpixel antialiasing” by default. Alright, so this one is a bit controversial. ![]() ![]() (Best place to regroup after bad news!) I LOVE that place!!!

To calculate the amount of fringe needed you must figure the total circumference of the table cloth.ĭiameter 72″ x 3.14 = 226.Just FYI, I get absolutely nothing in return for mentioning products & services or for providing links to various sources.

To figure tablecloth diameter add the height (from floor to table top) + table top diameter + height (from floor to table top)Ģ6″H + 20″D + 26″H = 72″ Tablecloth diameter Be sure to get a quarter (.25) inch thickness.Drinks will spill and leave rings even if you’re careful, and the glass will protect the cloth.
