Pro Power Tools just had been released to the Visual Studio Gallery today !
This cool little add-on really add things that Microsoft forgot to add to Visual Studio…
Homemade Paint Mixer
Need to mix a quart of paint? First, create a splatter shield. Get a large coffee can lid and drill a hole in the middle. Place the lid on the stem of a beater from your kitchen mixer. Chuck the beater in your electric drill. Place the beater in the can, using the plastic coffee can lid as a splatter shield. Now your pain is mixed with minimal mess!
Need a quicker way to mix paint? Take a paint stirrer and place it on a piece of wood that you can drill into. Drill holes into the stirrer, using the back piece of wood to keep the stick from splitting. Now use the stick to stir your paint. You will find it mixes much better than the “original model.” Happy Painting!

How to Use a Concrete Cut Off Saw With a Diamond Blade
Have you thought about purchasing a concrete cut off saw but weren’t sure about everything that goes into cutting concrete. Concrete can be cut very simply if you take your time and have the right tool.
A concrete cut off saw is very powerful and can be used to cut into several types of concrete, asphalt and other materials. The diamond multi-purpose blade is a very tough blade and will cut several different types of concrete. This blade is used for big cutting jobs when you need to do a lot of deep cuts.
When cutting concrete with a concrete cut off saw it is recommended to only cut 2″ deep each pass. So if you are needing to cut 4″ deep then you will need to make two passes on the cut to make the complete cut. If you try to cut deeper than this you can damage the saw or the blade by causing it to become brittle. You can tell if this has been done because the blade will take on a blue color and have small cracks in it.
A hand held concrete cut off saw is perfect, because of its’ light weight, to cut into walls or overhead. You have to be careful of kickback when cutting concrete and keep both hands tightly on the machine. Kickback can occur from trying to cut too deep or if you hit some reinforcement like rebar. Because of this you should know what you are cutting into before you get started.

Introduction and Sample
Here is another paint mixer script. Unlike my Watercolour Mixer, this script works only with solid primary and secondary colours and not “watered down” colours. Each click on a colour corresponds to an equivalent sized load of paint that is added to however many lots of paint have already been added to the mixing area. The colour of the mixing area is then changed to reflect the addition of this unit of colour to how ever many units of colour have previously been added to the area (so mixing one lot of yellow to five lots of red will give a different result than if you used just one lot of each). The number of portions of each primary colour are displayed at the top right corner of each.
Festool TS 75 Plunge Cut Circular Saw
Festool built the TS 75 circ saw with the same formula as their TS 55, but with more of everything. Like the TS 55, this high-end circular saw can safely plunge into a sheet of wood, and it’s not your average 2×4-chopper or deck-builder, but a fine tool for fine woodworking. But while the TS 55 boasted an impressive 55? guide rail, the TS 75’s rail is 75? long. The TS 75 also sports a bigger 8-1/4? blade; it runs at thirteen amps, three more than its little brother; and it weighs an extra three and a half pounds.
The saw makes burn- and splinter-free straight cuts up to 2-3/4? deep, and with the guide rails, straight and clean cuts in sheet goods shouldn’t be a problem. A spring-loaded riving knife helps prevent material from binding, and if the blade does bind, a slip clutch will take up the potential kickback.
A variable-speed motor allows you to cut through different types of materials without burning or melting the stock. The saw also features the FastFix system which will lock the arbor and also lock out the power switch for safe and easy blade changes.
Foley Catheter Insertion
What Is It?
A Foley catheter is a thin bendable tube with a balloon on the end. The end of the tube and the balloon are pushed into your bladder to drain urine. While this tube is in the bladder, urine is drained from it right away. You may need this catheter for just a little while or for a long time. How long you need it depends on why you have it.
The bladder is a hollow organ that holds urine. When you are ready to pass urine, it travels through the urethra (a small tube) to an opening in the body. Urine is let out of the body through this opening.
Why do you need it? You may need a catheter because of an infection, or a swollen prostate gland. You may need a catheter because of medicine you are taking. You may need a catheter because of a disease or an injury that is
causing problems in your urinary tract. Catheters may be used because you cannot pass the urine by yourself. After surgery, some people need to have catheters. The catheter is often used to keep track of how much urine a person is passing. When you have a catheter, it is important that you drink enough liquid every day. Ask your caregiver how much liquid you should drink each day.
Inserting a Foley catheter:
You will need to lie on your back covered by a sheet. While wearing sterile gloves, your caregiver will carefully clean the area around your urethra.
A soft tube called a Foley catheter will be gently put into your urethra. The tube will pass through the urethra and into your bladder.
When the tube gets to your bladder, the balloon will be filled with sterile water by your caregiver. The balloon will keep the catheter in your bladder.
The balloon presses against the wall of your bladder. This may make you feel like you need to pass urine. Instead of you passing the urine, it will drain out the catheter and into the urine bag.
To keep the catheter in place, it will be taped to your abdomen (stomach) or leg.Putting in your catheter should take about 10 minutes.
Caring for your Foley or leg drainage bag:
Catheters are designed to be closed drainage systems. This means that the path from the tip of the catheter inserted into the bladder, to the bag which catches urine, is closed. A closed system decreases the chance of getting an infection. It also decreases the chance of the catheter breaking and urine spilling out. People with catheters and their caregivers should avoid detaching parts of the catheter along the closed system unless it is necessary.
Larger, sterile, drainable, 2 liter drainage bags or smaller sterile leg bags are used to collect your urine. To
keep a closed system, these bags are connected directly to the catheter. If you use a leg bag to collect urine, a larger drainage bag may be attached at night with a special connector. A drainage bag should be emptied only when it is full enough that this is needed. Some plastic drainage bags should be changed every 5 to 7 days. Ask your caregiver how often your drainage bag should be changed.
Drainage bags must be kept below the level of the bladder. This will allow gravity to help drain the urine, and will stop urine from flowing back into your bladder. Urine that flows back into your bladder increases your risk of an infection. Do not let the drainage bag rest on or touch the floor. The tubing that goes from your urethra to a leg bag should be secured to your thigh with special tape, a leg strap, or a drain tube stabilizer. Allow extra tubing between the urethra and the point where it is secured to your thigh.
CARE AGREEMENT:
You have the right to help plan your care. To help with this plan, you must learn about your health condition and how it may be treated. You can then discuss treatment options with your caregivers. Work with them to decide what care may be used to treat you. You always have the right to refuse treatment.

Investment casting
Investment casting is an industrial process based on and also called lost-wax casting, one of the oldest known metal-forming techniques. From 5,000 years ago, when beeswax formed the pattern, to today’s high-technology waxes, refractory materials and specialist alloys, the castings allow the production of components with accuracy, repeatability, versatility and integrity in a variety of metals and high-performance alloys. Lost foam casting is a modern form of investment casting that eliminates certain steps in the process.
The process is generally used for small castings, but has produced complete aircraft door frames,
steel castings of up to 300 kg and aluminium castings of up to 30 kg. It is generally more expensive per unit than die casting or sand casting but with lower equipment cost. It can produce complicated shapes that would be difficult or impossible with die casting, yet like that process, it requires little surface finishing and only minor machining.
