And had a lot of opportunities. Most our employees tend to stay around for a while (certainly not all). It is primarily an mechanical design house, so the EE would be the top-dog EE, so to speak. Largely self-directed. If anyone is interested, I have a job posting in word that I would gladly forward. Maybe you know someone that is looking.

Elyria, just (5 miles) South of Lorain. It's Ridgid tool, the red pipe wrench people, but the do a lot more than that including the See Snake. see http://www.grainger.com search key words for "See Snake" I have lived in the area for 35 years.

Carl, My wife has a cousin that lives in Elyria. I can't recall the exact address right off, but I could take you there. They live near a place called Dairy Treat or Tasty Treat or something like that. Is the furniture store (I think it's a furniture store) that has the old man rocking on the side of the building still there? My wife's sister and brother in law used to live on Palm Ave in Loraine. Regards, Jim {Original Message removed}

Tasty treat is on the near northeast side of Elyria, it got torn down and rebuilt recently. THe rocking chair is still there on the corner of State route 57 and North Ridge road. It's a HVAC repair company. We are in Lagrange, 5 miles south of Elyria off state route 301. It's semi-rural with lots of Field corn and Soy beams planted. Your relatives are within a mile of the Ridgid tool plant. PAUL James wrote: {Quote hidden}> Carl, > > My wife has a cousin that lives in Elyria.

Don't think so, try a major subsidiary of Emerson Electric Co. Some of the other things in the area include Parker Hannifin (Aircraft hydraulics, fuel pumps, brakes and wheels), Bendix truck brakes (Anti Lock, big disc brakes - lots of high tech.), Invacare (Medical including power wheelchairs), Cleveland air traffic control center Olin Lathrop wrote: >> It's Ridgid tool, the red pipe wrench people >> > > Sounds more like a division of Phizer. > > ******************************************************************** > Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products > (978) 742-9014.

Oh, I am very relaxed, just came back from Local astronomy club had open house at the near metro park, was star gazing a bit. p.s. If you didn't pickup on it, Since I haven't purchased any Phizer products, I couldn't make the connection with the little blue pill. :) :) The other thing is somewhat related to the Ridgid calendar, which was available free to good customers at plumbing supply houses. I see the calendar can now be purchased in the states only. See: www.ridgid.com/Tools/Calendar/EN/index.htm Was/is the calendar available in the Southern Hemisphere?

I can't speak for the company, but several years ago there was a fuss about it as offensive. I don't know the what happened since then history wise. It used to be there was a calendar hanging in nearly every shop that had anything to do with construction and maintenance. Today in the USA it is not thought of being good taste to display one in particular in areas accesible to any gender. But I believe the RIdgid calendars are tastefully done, and not in the same class as other modern day calendars (playboy, hustler, etc.). My wife has some years back stopped by the Ridgid plant and picked calendars for me to take to work. :) And I guess this is getting away from the [EE] thread. Alan B.

Sheesh, at my school the photography department puts out a self-made calendar like that every year and no-one complains...

Come to think of it, the girls in the pictures of the Rigid calendar are as well dressed as any you could see on any sunny beach these days, the calendars that tend to be regarded as 'un-PC' tend to have them less covered ... And then there are the charity calendars, like http://www.daelnet.co.uk/rylstonewi/ as featured in the movie 'Calendar Girls', or the various ones firemen around here do for other charities...

So can the PicList round up enough eye-candy for a calendar? I brough an oldish book (last century) into work yesterday, and found a photo of myself wearing a yellow suit tucked inside. Dunno about eye-candy, but it caused a bit of mirth. One bloke admitted to owning a pale blue safari suit; he claimed his mother brought it, and he only wore it once. It could be the "badly dressed engineers of PicList" calender. Groovy. Tony

Awesome, I'll send in some pictures of me caving... just immaculately dressed and smelling of mud.... Or maybe some when I still wore a fanny pack... My first girlfriend way back in grade 9 took all of about three weeks to quite literally march me off downtown and have me buy clothes that weren't so horribly dorky. At that tender young age I was already wearing more than my share of computer tradeshow swag... I'd already found that getting into Comdex (18+) at the age of about 13 involved nothing more than wearing a tie, smiling, and claiming I owned a really good razor. - -- http://petertodd.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGd9433bMhDbI9xWQRAk+pAJ4n24ZbKDDDFLHSie5Qvtt/FKG6AwCdG+N6 ER+oSBhP2Slr0Xa/wrlxGq8= =8lrx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Lord knows... "Print out a 1:1 copy of your gerbers and see if the mounting holes on your board are in the same galaxy as the ones on your associated LCD screen... idiot." > "When making an Eagle package, don't take the pin numbers from a diagram > in the data sheet that shows the package... upside down..." Nice... I caught myself happily laying out traces to an IC recently on a complex double sided board, LED digits on one side, smd parts on the other. Unfortunately said IC and the digits were on the same side... stupid xpcb and it's lack of keepouts... - -- http://petertodd.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGd/Gw3bMhDbI9xWQRAjlMAJ4/2uqerwQotu/p8S0KLr0tMHZZFgCgj+jq DPcg/i7c/kJ7yF3yRiwEqo4= =b00/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Actually, that's an easy one -- if you are hand-routing any portion of your layout, you want to be able to get a clean DRC before you give the autorouter a crack at the rest of it. It's easy enough to type "rats" and get the message "Nothing to do!" if there are no more airwires. -- Dave Tweed

Don't think Orcad or Eagle are located in NE Ohio, maybe change the subject line :) Alan B.
