Ah,
Snow Leopard. It's the same cat you're used to caressing (or beating, as the case may be), but in a much, much colder climate. Or something like that. OS X 10.6 promised Leopard users a "refined" experience, and one that would only cost upgrading users
$29. At that price, most Apple fanatics figured that picking it up on launch day was a no-brainer, but as we've come to
sadly expect from Cupertino's software labs
these days, all wasn't perfectly well with the big snowy cat. Even now, users are still
kvetching about
broken functionality and
mental pains that are literally indescribable. Even if you're not in that camp, we're eager to hear how your Snow Leopard experience has been. Are you satisfied with the upgrade? Will you never, ever install an Apple update again before a million others try it first? Are you already looking forward to
10.7 Windows 7? Tell all in comments below -- you never know who could be tuning in.

I spent Saturday veering from science future, to science past and back again—learning about the ways nanotechnology could revolutionize energy generation and storage, delving into the history of how scientists made themselves more accountable to fact and then getting a peek at the connections researchers are trying to make between social policy and climate/energy technology....

It is impressive how helpful the team from Powers Fasteners can be at times, they are very dedicated to supporting every level of users that would have interaction with their products from architect to installer. There are several useful resources you can find on the web, including detailed Training Videos for a variety of products as well as a handy Epoxy Volume Estimator to help more accurately calculate amounts of Powers Chemical Anchors required for any given job.

The product that impressed us most however was the Powers Design Assist (PDA) Software which is built for architects and engineers to use in the early design stages. The software put technical data into a real-time environment and helps you visualize, consider and specify anchors in today's changing engineering climate. Did we mention it’s completely Free software to download (click the link above) which you wouldn't even need to use Powers Fasteners to find helpful.

If you have any specific questions on Powers Fasteners products, another excellent resource for professional support would be Ohio Power Tool at 800-242-4424 or email sales@ohiopowertool.com.

Climate Progress reports that scientists from Louisiana State University, Mississippi State University and Texas A&M "have 'signed contracts with BP to work on their behalf in the Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) process' that determines how much ecological damage the Gulf of Mexico region is suffering from BP's toxic black tide. The contract, the Mobile Press-Register has learned, 'prohibits the scientists from publishing their research, sharing it with other scientists or speaking about the data that they collect for at least the next three years." More at Think Progress, where the story broke....
