The Civil Government, tho' bereft of everything like an associated hierarchy, possesses the requisite stability and performs its functions with complete success whilst the number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the TOTAL SEPARATION OF THE CHURCH FROM THE STATE. The experience of Virginia conspicuously corroborates the disproof of both opinions. It was the Universal opinion of the Century preceding the last, that Civil Government could not stand without the prop of a religious establishment and that the Christian religion itself, would perish if not supported by the legal provision for its clergy. trespasses on its legal rights by others. by an entire abstinence of the Gov't from interfence in any way whatsoever, beyond the necessity of preserving public order, and protecting each sect agst. The tendency to unsurpastion on one side or the other, or to a corrupting coalition or alliance between them, will be best guarded agst. T may not be easy, in every possible case, to trace the line of separation between the rights of religion and the Civil authority with such distinctness as to avoid collisions and doubts on unessential points. The merit will be doubled by the other lesson that Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Gov. We are teaching the world the great truth that Govts do better without Kings & Nobles than with them. The example of the Colonies, now States, which rejected religious establishments altogether, proved that all Sects might be safely & advantageously put on a footing of equal & entire freedom. The example of Holland proved that a toleration of sects, dissenting from the established sect, was safe & even useful. It was the belief of all sects at one time that the establishment of Religion by law, was right & necessary that the true religion ought to be established in exclusion of every other and that the only question to be decided was which was the true religion. And I have no doubt that every new example, will succeed, as every past one has done, in shewing that religion & Gov will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together Every new & successful example therefore of a perfect separation between ecclesiastical and civil matters, is of importance. And in a Gov' of opinion, like ours, the only effectual guard must be found in the soundness and stability of the general opinion on the subject. Nothwithstanding the general progress made within the two last centuries in favour of this branch of liberty, & the full establishment of it, in some parts of our Country, there remains in others a strong bias towards the old error, that without some sort of alliance or coalition between Gov' & Religion neither can be duly supported: Such indeed is the tendency to such a coalition, and such its corrupting influence on both the parties, that the danger cannot be too carefully guarded agst. The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries. [James Madison, 1803? Origin questionable} The M18 cordless string trimmer is powerful, well-balanced, and easy to use. This is another in a long line of quality tools from Milwaukee. A previous reviewer with a smaller body frame had tried this model and found it well-balanced, so this may be more connected to my body size and shape than the design of the weed wacker. No matter how I held it, the cutter head kept dipping forward, making for uneven trimming and a pretty ugly end result in a lot of places. I never found a comfortable position on the shaft for the handle. The other, and more important, issue with the trimmer is the balance. This isn’t a huge problem-tapping the machine on the ground to extend the string is easy enough-but it does make for a few moments of frustration as you’re working. That said, when the string starts to fray and shorten, there’s a much greater reduction in cutting power than the other weed wackers. When it comes to pure cutting power, it’s comparable to the Kobalt. This is another machine that cuts through just about anything without hesitation. If you’re already invested in the DeWalt lineup, then this is a great trimmer for the price.Īt 56 volts, the Ego is one of the most powerful battery trimmers that we tested. The DeWalt trimmer works with a much broader set of battery-powered tools. However, if you’re wearing jeans like you should be, then this shouldn’t be a problem. My legs were under constant assault from clippings, dirt, and rocks, far more so than any of the other devices I tested. This was the only weed wacker where this happened.Īnother drawback of this trimmer is the very small shield. Several times while I was cutting through longer growth, particularly bittersweet vines, strands wrapped around the spinner head, slowing or even stalling the trimmer. This said, the design of the spinning cutter head lends itself to getting bound up. While it didn’t cut through thick underbrush quite as quickly as some of the others, it could get through some heavy-duty growth, particularly for the relatively low price. The low weight only comes with a minor sacrifice in power. If you’ve got a lot of area to cover, however, then the Kobalt 80-volt string trimmer is a great choice at a solid price.Īs the lightest and quietest of the larger weed wackers that we tested, the DeWalt 13-inch cordless trimmer is very easy to use. This said, this is a large weed wacker, not meant for tight spaces, so if most of your work involves tight quarters, then you may want to choose a smaller option. It is also maneuverable enough to turn on its side to edge around driveways or walkways. In terms of balance, it is easy enough to get in and around objects while keeping a level cutting height. At just over 11 pounds, the Kobalt 80-volt string trimmer is right in line with the rest of the tools we tested. Long grass, bittersweet vines, small saplings, even bamboo-it shredded it all.Īll that power and the massive 80-volt battery that drives it don’t seem to come with additional weight or balance problems. While all of the weed wackers we tested cut through most reasonable underbrush, the Kobalt is one of the few that cut through everything in one pass. If you’re looking for the power of a gas string trimmer without the fumes, racket, and weight, then the Kobalt 80-volt is the one for you. But, if you prefer one that's light and quiet, not to mention a good value, invest in the Dewalt DCST925M1 ( available at The Home Depot) string trimmer, which we named the Best Value option on the market. , which works like a gas-powered plaything, but without the fumes, racket, and weight. The best weed eater we've tested is the powerful Kobalt KST 2580-06 Over the course of a hot, wet (i.e., verdant overgrowth choked) summer, we put string trimmers from leading brands to the test. But not all weed wackers are created equal. They're adept at nitty gritty details, like the weeds around edges and ledges of patios, walkways, bushes, and flower beds. Also known as line trimmers, weed eaters, and string trimmers, these slim, handheld power tools are designed to make short work of garden and lawn maintenance. But when it comes to more detailed work, the best weed wackers will be your best friend. Used indiscriminately over wide swathes of grass, lawn mowers are the brute force of the lawn care world.

Then in the printer software put in the settings for your wireless network to get an IP from the router.

Then connect to your wireless router/hub via your favorite browser (on the Mac open System Preferences->Network pane and find the router IP address - put the address in you browser address bar)and find out what security is running on the router. I saw another answer on here about 'just creating an ad hoc network and adding the printer to that' but I have NO CLUE how to do this so am completely stuck. So the network is there and visible and the printer tells me it can see it but then can't connect - it just doesn't make sense! when I select the network from the list, I get the message "NETWORK UNAVAILABLE: The selected Wi-Fi Network is not within the reach of the device." and it won't go any further. (I have also printed a network config page and the printer tells me it can see my network on that print out too!)īut. Once I get to Network Setup the printer is picking up my network (called Indies-Home-Network) and showing it as a strong signal. I have installed it and can get to the point when the printer connects to the wireless network. I have downloaded the correct software (for Snow Leopard) from hp.com Hoping someone can help me as I am on the verge of throwing my Mac and new printer out of a window! Have read about 100 internet pages in the last 5 hours trying to get my printer to install and it just won't work. I've never been very good at telling people to their faces how much they mean to me and I can be very "all business" on set, but I hope that wherever Nelsan is now he knows how much I loved him. I assumed Nelsan was going to be in my life forever and this has been a shocking reminder of how fragile life is. They are in my heart and thoughts all the time. I can't even imagine how much pain Nelsan's son and family are in right now. 7 years of intense bonding and subsequent years in which, regardless of distance and schedules, the love has remained and the gratitude for how rare and special those relationships are has only grown. #trueblood was a real family, cast and crew. He made me a better actor by raising the bar absurdly high but always extending a hand to help his scene partners clear it. But I always knew I was completely safe with Nelsan because he would never let me fall. Sookie and Lafayette had some crazy adventures both emotionally and sometimes physically demanding and intimidating to me as a performer. His ability to transcend and channel anything and everything thrown at him was inspiring and beautiful to watch. Nelsan inhabited characters that bore no resemblance to himself in a way that put him in that tiny category of true virtuoso performer. But that's because that beautiful, gifted man was also the most humble artist I've ever had the pleasure of knowing or working with. I've been looking for pictures of our #trueblood family that I feel truly represent how important and loved Nelsan was to us all both creatively and as a human and I literally can't find one where he is front and center or in any way claiming the spotlight he deserved and belonged in.

It also comes with a 5-year warranty on the product. The Milwaukee M18 Rover Mounting Flood Light comes with a limited lifetime LED warranty. Plus, with the IP rating and the construction, I don’t feel like I would need to worry too much about this flood light getting banged up. The run times on this flood light are pretty good, even with the 5.0Ah battery pack. We did see a little yellowing in the personal lighting from Milwaukee, but the throw here is wide enough that it shouldn’t be an issue. The TrueView lights have a nice, neutral tone that doesn’t mess with our ability to correctly identify colors. By all accounts, the quality of their lighting products has been pretty good, and we don’t expect this new release to throw us any curveballs in the quality department. Milwaukee has been on a tear with all the lighting solutions they’ve been putting out on the market. Milwaukee also designed the M18 Rover Flood Light with a tie-off zone in case you’re working from height and need to tether the light. It also has an IP54 rating, so water and dust ingress shouldn’t be much of an issue on the jobsite. Milwaukee constructed the casing from a durable, high-impact, polycarbonate lens and a rubber over mold. The M18 Rover Flood Light features Milwaukee’s TrueView technology, which is optimized to provide a consistent beam and a 5000K true representation of colors. The Magnetic Flood Light is a bright, versatile personal flood light that lets you take it everywhere and stick it anywhere. As part of the M18 platform, any of Milwaukee’s M18 batteries will work, you’ll just get the most out of the HD pack. It delivers up to 1500 lumens of bright, LED light, and can run up to 31.5 hours with the Milwaukee RedLithium High Demand 9.0 Battery Pack. The rotating head has 5 different positions, allowing the user to point the light in multiple angles and directions depending on his particular needs. The new Milwaukee Flood Light also features a rotating, folding head, allowing quick and easy light direction without having to actually move the light itself. It has a holding strength of over 25 lbs and can stick to any ferrous surfaces, such as ductwork, electrical boxes, and steel studs. It also includes a magnetic base that allows the user to mount the flood light just about anywhere metallic. Jason Isaacs, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool Adaptable to almost any lighting situation through its rotating light head design, integrated magnets and a tool-free mounting mechanism also allow it to mount to any surface, on any site, for any task.” Not only does the new M18 Rover Mounting Flood Light build on this offering by replacing halogen work lights, it’s also the most versatile flood light to-date. “By leveraging our leadership in cordless and LED technology, we’ve been able to provide flood lighting solutions that deliver on the durability, performance, and portability that halogen lights have historically failed to achieve. With a rotating head design, this new lighting solution becomes one of the more versatile models in the Milwaukee lineup. The Milwaukee M18 Rover Mounting Flood Light offers portable lighting that features tool-free mountability to virtually any surface. Two built-in magnets located on the top and backside of the light gives users the versatility to mount the light in different orientations and deliver light right where its needed.Hot on the heels of a bunch of the company’s other lighting solution releases, Milwaukee recently announced another way to light up your life. The Milwaukee® Rover magnetic flood light is a bright, versatile personal flood light that lets you take it everywhere and stick it anywhere. There are two main types of lead-acid batteries: automobile engine starter batteries, and deep cycle batteries. The price of electricity to run an electric vehicle is a small fraction of the cost of fuel for equivalent internal combustion engines, reflecting higher energy efficiency.įlooded lead-acid batteries are the oldest, cheapest, and, in the past, most common vehicle batteries available. As of 2018, vehicles with over 250 mi (400 km) of all-electric range, such as the Tesla Model S, are available. As of December 2019, the cost of electric vehicle batteries has fallen 87% since 2010 on a per kilowatt-hour basis. Growth in the industry has generated interest in securing ethical battery supply chains, which presents many challenges and has become an important geopolitical issue. The battery makes up a significant portion of the cost and environmental impact of an electric vehicle. Other types of rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles include lead–acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel–metal hydride, and others. Unlike earlier battery chemistries, notably nickel-cadmium, lithium-ion batteries can be discharged and recharged daily and at any state of charge. Compared to liquid fuels, most current battery technologies have much lower specific energy, and this often impacts the maximum range of all-electric vehicles. Smaller, lighter batteries are desirable because they reduce the weight of the vehicle and therefore improve its performance. Nissan Leaf cutaway showing part of the battery in 2009Īn electric vehicle battery ( EVB, also known as a traction battery) is a rechargeable battery used to power the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV).Įlectric vehicle batteries differ from starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries, as they are typically lithium-ion batteries that are designed for high power-to-weight ratio and energy density. For the starting, lighting and ignition system battery of an automobile, see Automotive battery. The SoundSpa only has six sound options: white noise, thunder, summer night, ocean, brook, and rain. While it’s not the prettiest machine out there, we’re willing to sacrifice some style for the affordable price. It can also run off electricity or four AA batteries, which, when coupled with its lightweight design and small size, makes it a good choice for travelers. This compact machine is super easy to use, with no complicated menus or settings, which is one of its big plus points. If you’re looking for a good night’s sleep on a budget, you can’t go wrong with the HoMedics SoundSpa. Product Details: Dimensions: 4.7 x 4.7 x 3.3 inches | Sound options: 22 | Timer: Yes | Power: Plug-in You can power the LectroFan EVO via USB or the included A/C adaptor, but it doesn’t have an internal battery, so it does need to be plugged in. It certainly won’t look out of place on your bedside table. It’s compact enough to travel everywhere with you, and as white noise machines go, it looks pretty good, too. It also comes with an optional timer you can set between one to eight hours, or play continuously, plus a 3.5mm connector for headphones if your partner isn’t quite as keen on white noise as you are. The speaker produces a clear and crisp sound, and there’s a wide volume range. The device is super simple to use, and once you’ve picked your favorite type of noise, it will be saved in the settings, and the machine will auto play that sound each time you turn it on. It plays non-repeating digital noise in a range of colors: It has 10 fan sounds, 10 ambient noise sounds-including pink and brown noise-and two ocean soundscapes. While it might not be the most technologically advanced gadget on our list, it still does everything you need it to, and then some, for a very reasonable price. Our pick of the best white noise machine is the LectroFan EVO. The device isn’t battery-operated, so it’ll need to stay plugged into a power source. Three additional machines will form the initial phase of Agucadoura, the world's first commercial wave farm, in April off the coast of Portugal, a project developed by Portuguese utility Enersis, a subsidiary of Babcock and Brown. Pelamis-which until September had been called Ocean Power Delivery-has taken its prototype through about 2,000 hours of testing at the European Marine Energy Center's wave test site near Scotland's Orkney Islands. Three of the tubes, which work best at a depth of 165 to 230 feet (50 to 70 meters) and roughly 3.7 miles (six kilometers) from the shore, can produce up to 2.25 megawatts. Power from all the joints is fed down a single umbilical cable to a junction on the seabed. The wave-induced motion of the tubes' joints is resisted by hydraulic rams, which pump high-pressure fluid through hydraulic motors that drive electrical generators to produce electricity. They flex as the ocean swells around them. Pelamis's devices are big red tubes, each 426.5 feet (130 meters) long, 13 feet (about four meters) in diameter, weighing around 750 tons (635 metric tons), and with a life expectancy of up to 20 years. We think it's actually going to be easier to dispatch to the grid." "You look at the ocean 1,000 miles out, you'll get a good idea of what to expect over the next 24 to 48 hours. "We consider wave energy to be more predictable than wind," says Phil Metcalf, CEO of Edinburgh-based Pelamis Wave Power, Ltd., a company taking a different approach than Verdant in developing ocean power–utilizing devices. Underwater turbines, submerged "wind" farms and wave-riding electrical generators are being tested around the world, with new advances in technology promising relief for overworked energy utilities. The Earth's oceans, pushed by wind and tugged by the moon and sun, ebb and flow over more than 70 percent of the planet, but only recently has technology emerged to finally harness some of that kinetic energy as usable power for us landlubbers. To prove that this energy could be usable for local businesses, Verdant last year sent a test transmission of electricity to a supermarket and parking garage on Roosevelt Island that were willing to participate in the Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy project. "Plus, New York is an expensive place to buy power, so it would be easier here to prove that this could help."Ī few dozen feet away from the closest turbine, an onshore control room gets a feed of the energy created by the entire cluster. "The East River is a good tidal channel that links the Long Island Sound to the ocean," says Trey Taylor, the company's president and head of market development. Verdant's turbines require tides that move at least six feet per second in order to generate enough energy for them to be cost-effective, and the East River is more than obliging. Resembling an underwater wind farm, these kinetic hydropower systems use gearboxes and speed increasers-which convert the slower rotating rotor into a faster rotating generator-to transform each turbine's mechanical power into electricity. The turbines-which belong to New York City-based Verdant Power, Inc., -are built on a swiveling platform that keeps their nose cones facing the tide, whether it's coming in or going out. Thirty feet (nine meters) below Manhattan's East River, next to Roosevelt Island, six turbines-each 16 feet (five meters) in diameter, churning at a peak rate of 32 revolutions per minute-stand at attention on the riverbed.
