Reviewing the Tamerica Tashin Durabind 242 Legal Size Plastic Comb Binding Machine

Overview:

• Most plastic comb binding machines make binding documents that are legal sized (14″ long) very difficult. The comb openers aren’t long enough and the punching units require you to punch each page twice. Thus, organizations that need to bind very many legal sized documents should really consider a legal sized machine.
• The Durabind 242 is an economical heavy duty legal sized manual plastic comb binding machine.
• Includes the same great features as the 210PB or the GBC C250 but offers 24 hole punching for fourteen inch documents.

Features / Strengths:

• High quality legal length manual comb binding machine for a good price point. Has both a 14″ comb opener and the ability to punch 24 holes for legal sized binding.
• Has both a depth of punch margin control for binding small and large documents and fully disengageable dies for binding documents with shorter binding edges. These make the 242 very versatile.
• Separate handle for the comb opener means that the machine can be placed against a wall. It also means that the comb opening components don’t move during punching which helps to prolong the life of the machine.
• Strong manual punch is capable of punching between 15-20 sheets at a time or 2 plastic covers.

Limitations / Weaknesses:

• Manual punch is high quality but still limits productivity. Larger organizations should consider a punch with an electric motor for higher productivity and to reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries.
• Plastic comb binding supplies in legal sizes can sometimes be hard to find. They are generally available in black but are more difficult to obtain in other colors. If you want to bind legal sized documents with combs you should check on the availability of the supplies that you need before purchasing a machine. Sometimes, spiral coil is a better option for legal binding.

Construction:

• High quality metal construction is extremely durable.
• Comes with a 2 year warranty. However, there is very little likelyhood that you will need to use it.
• Hollow ground self sharpening steel dies are designed for a lifetime of punching.

Recommendation:

• Ideal as an introductory machine for organizations that need to bind legal sized documents and don’t want to spend a fortune.
• High quality construction and great features make it an ideal choice for low to moderate volume users.
• High volume users will be limited by the manual punching mechanism and should potentially consider a larger machine with an electric punch.

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Tomb Raider is a media franchise consisting of action-adventure games, comic books, novels, theme park rides, and movies, centering around the adventures of the fictional female British archaeologist Lara Croft. Since the release of the original Tomb Raider in 1996, the series developed into a lucrative franchise of related media, and Lara went on to become a major icon of the video game industry. The Guinness Book of World Records has recognised Lara Croft as the “Most Successful Human Videogame Heroine” in 2006. Six games in the series were developed by Core Design, and the latest three by Crystal Dynamics. To date two movies, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, have been produced starring American actress Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. The central character in Tomb Raider is the British archaeologist Lara Croft, a female adventurer in search of ancient treasures. Lara was created by one-time Core designer Toby Gard, and grew out of a number of ideas discarded in early concepts. She appears almost invariably with brown shorts, a green or blue sleeveless top, holsters on both sides of her hip for dual wielded pistols and a small brown backpack. Over the course of the series, her 3D model has undergone gradual graphical improvements, as well as enlarged (and later reduced) breast size. Several actresses and models have taken on the role of Lara Croft in real life for publicity purposes, including the

One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards $25 One Size Fits Few is a sharp, pointed pin with which to deflate the overblown pro-Standards movement. In her hilarious, unsparing, and often touching narrative, Susan Ohanian-a teacher, author, and frequent contributor to the Atlantic, Education Week, and other publications-recounts her quest to make sense of the Standards movement.”Making sense” is no small feat, as we see when Ohanian muses on school districts withholding diplomas from students who fail to demonstrate “necessary knowledge” of topics such as covalent bonds, the Edict of Nantes, La Cucaracha, and the Slough of Despond.Balance is even more elusive in the media, as is evident when Ohanian drafts an op-ed piece on Goals 2000 for USA Today. When her editor repeatedly finds the real-life students she portrays “too unique,” too urban, too nonstandard, she realizes that all he wants to know is “how the kids in Grosse Pointe measure up against the kids in Larchmont or Palo Alto, and how both compare to the Japanese.”Ironically, even in Japan, Ohanian finds gross denial: When she asks “What happens when a child fails to keep up with his peers?,” she is reassured that this never happens. Yet no one can explain how the McDonald’s clerk fits into the Japanese educational/social system.Underlying the irony is a call to action. “It is my moral duty to offer a counterargument to people who would try to streamline, sanitize, and standardize education” says Ohanian. “When we get down to the realities of the classroom . . . the antics of Standardistos are no longer funny . . . what we need to do is fight back.” Visit www.susanohanian.orgVisit Susan Ohanian online for a wealth of information on education issues and to learn more about her.
