Primary School

Thrapston Primary School is committed to the ideal of excellence for all. We endeavour to achieve maximum inclusion of all children including vulnerable learners and more able and gifted learners, whilst meeting their individual needs. Teachers provide differentiated learning opportunities for all children within the school and provide materials appropriate to children's interests and abilities. This ensures that all children have full access to the school curriculum and extracurricular activities. The term 'special educational needs and disability' (SEND) has a legal definition, referring to children who have learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for them to learn or access education than most children of the same age. The school facilitates inclusion for pupils with impairments and disabilities in terms of physical adjustments to ensure that they have equal access to the curriculum and extra-curricular activities. Children with Special Educational Needs and Disability may be making the same progress or even better than their peers. However, if progress is slower, then the explanation may not only be attributed to their Special Educational Need or Disability. We make every effort to narrow the gap in attainment between vulnerable groups of learners and their peers.

If you require any further information please contact our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator, Mrs Sharon Webb through the school office or by emailing

We also have a Family Support Worker who may be able to help with any questions or concerns - Mrs Claire Golding can be contacted through

Parent Support Pathway

U.S. stocks had their worst September since 2002. Here’s what’s contributing to recent stock market volatility and what it may mean for long-term investors.

As we enter the final quarter of 2022, it appears investors are increasingly losing confidence in the Fed’s ability to rein in inflation without sending the economy into recession.

Indeed, after a strong July, U.S. stocks once again ended the quarter in bear market territory.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the third quarter below 29,000 for the first time since November 2020, losing 8.8% in September alone. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite shed 9.3% and 10.5% last month, respectively.

It’s not unusual for stocks to experience a rough September, leaving some investors to wonder if seasonality may be partially to blame. At the same time, a strengthening U.S. dollar and climbing short-term Treasury yields remain problematic for stocks.

As investors brace for a potentially bumpy year-end, it may be helpful to understand why markets are behaving erratically and what this may mean for long-term investors.

Asteroid Blast

COLLISION COURSE The image above shows a diagram of the DART mission. The project’s goal is to deflect space objects heading toward Earth. But it could also cause the first artificial meteor shower. JOHNS HOPKINS APPLIED PHYSICS LAB/NASA

NASA is planning to launch the DART mission in 2021. DART stands for Double Asteroid Redirection Test. The goal of the mission is to see if NASA can change the course of objects in space, such as asteroids, that might hit Earth.

The DART spacecraft weighs 1,100 pounds. After it’s launched, it will crash into a space rock with the force of three tons of TNT. The space rock NASA is targeting is called Didymoon. That’s one of a pair of asteroids near the Earth. They travel around the sun together. Didymoon is 535 feet wide. It orbits the larger asteroid.

But a new study shows that a DART collision with Didymoon might create a meteor shower. The study appears in The Planetary Science Journal. This would be the first meteor shower caused by human activity.

Space Debris

According to the study, the spacecraft’s impact with Didymoon is expected to produce between 22,000 and 220,000 pounds of debris. Most of it will enter into the larger asteroid’s orbit. But some of it may come Earth’s way within 30 days of the crash. That would cause a meteor shower.

Paul Wiegert wrote the study. He’s an astronomy professor at the University of Western Ontario, in Canada. Wiegert thinks we might see a few grams of asteroid debris over a couple of days. That debris would result in “a few to 10” meteors, he told the New York Times.

Tom Statler is the program scientist for DART at NASA. He says the team’s analysis shows there is “no significant debris hazard” to Earth.

Astronomers say the DART mission will be a chance to see how human activity can affect activity in space. Aaron Boley is a planetary astronomer. He suggests moving the launch date for DART by a few weeks. This would lessen the chance of debris coming to Earth. “Space is big, but what we do in space can affect us,” Boley told the New York Times.

Crispy power switch on a JDM Pioneer SA-8800 (SA-7500 in the US)

Over time, with these old machines, the power switch contacts get pitted and a little burnt from having full mains power (120v US) flowing through them at power-on. The factory did try to limit this by adding a small ceramic disc capacitor as a snubber (arc suppression). This only works so well and, after 40+ years, the switch contacts get carbon-fouled and even pitted. If they get really bad, they'll buzz at start up as the carbon interferes with the contact surfaces.

So, every restoration I do get the power switch pulled and cleaned up. This means the switch body comes apart and everything inside gets overhauled.

You can see in the above pics that the contact pads and contact bars are lightly pitted from years of use. Luckily, these are not plated so they can be burnished and made fairly smooth again.

The pads are not removeable so they need to be lightly sanded in place, which is not easy. Best effort. I forgot to take a picture of the bars, but they were sanded with 2000 grit sandpaper to remove the tarnish and pitting.

Back together and a new capacitor across the terminal. It has almost 2 times the voltage capacity, but is smaller than the 40+ year old original. A 120 ohm resistor is also added to one leg of the connection to aid the arc suppression of the cap. Should be good for another 40 years.

Tissue Makers and the Tissue Paper Products category have a Great story to tell…
It’s the TissueStory, centered on 3 key points:

Renewable Raw Materials

Tissue makers use Wood Fibers, a fantastic Renewable, Recyclable, Carbon-capturing raw material, to make highly-functional tissue paper products

Hygiene for Health

These Essential Hygiene Products vastly improve Human Health, Comfort and Lives by helping prevent the spread of dirt, disease and illness

Advanced Technology & Science

All of this is based on Advanced Technology and Science, including Chemistry, Engineering and Physics

Positively . . Promoting . . Tissue
See more aspects of the story below

Renewable Fibers

“Renewable” and “Recycled” are very hot words these days and the paper industry has been using renewable and recyclable raw materials – wood fibers – for 100s of years. The Renewable fibers used in papermaking quite literally grow on trees, and come mainly from sustainable, managed forests and tree plantations. In a few countries there is still, unfortunately, a minor portion of papermaking fibers that come from non-sustainable sources, but that percentage is decreasing all the time, thankfully.

In addition, around 35% of wood fibers being used for tissue making come from recycled paper sources like recovered office paper or packaging cartons.

Image: Seedlings before replanting in a renewable, sustainable forest >>

Trees Grow Out of Thin Air!

As strange as it might sound, almost all matter that makes up a tree comes from the air. Trees, and all photosynthesizing plants, use the energy of the sun to split atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into its components: Oxygen and Carbon.

Carbon, the primary building block of the tree – and all of life on earth, actually – then becomes carbohydrates which make up cellulose fibers. The O2 is given off by the tree, allowing us to breathe and live.

Enormous CO2 Capture from the Atmosphere

The tree-growing process removes enormous quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to reduce climate change and greenhouse gases. When trees are young they ‘eat up’ much more CO2 than when they are older and mature. Therefore cutting mature trees and replanting the next crop of new trees is very positive for the environment.

Image: Major forest areas on the planet >>

Hygiene Benefits for better Health & Comfort

In most parts of the world a day without tissue is unthinkable. Bathroom tissue, paper towels, facial tissue and table napkins all play a critical role in hygiene, cleanliness and comfort. According to global health experts, hygiene is the Number 1 factor in human health worldwide. Tissue paper products function marvelously to promote hygiene and help prevent the spread of dirt, disease and illness.

Image: Cholera causing bacteria

Cholera Outbreak traced to Dirty Textile Kitchen Towels

Professor Hans Rosling of Sweden, arguably the world’s leading human health expert, has publicly confirmed that the last major outbreak of cholera which occurred in Chile was spread by dirty textile kitchen rags. He has further stated that paper kitchen towels might possibly have prevented it.

Similarly, independent peer-reviewed studies have shown that paper hand towels are far superior to air-blowing hand driers for preventing spread of bacteria, disease and illness.

Ultra-Light, Highly-Functional Materials . . . not commodities

Paper is often taken for granted because it is ever-present in so many parts of our life. Paper is by far the most economical and versatile substrate for printing and packaging in the world.

Tissue paper products are actually highly-engineered variants of paper, with these ultra-light sheets weighing as little as 13 grams per square meter of material. The sheet is textured, molded and surface treated to reach the optimum combination of softness and strength to give the best possible tissue products.

Image: Highly-magnified (100x approx.) cross section of structured tissue sheet>>

Big Machines, and Lots of High-Tech Science

All of this is achieved using advanced science and technology, including Chemistry, Physics and Engineering – as well as some of the biggest machines in the world. A tissue machine can be over 50 meters long, running the thin paper sheet through the process at over 2000 meters per minute or 120 km/hr.

The page you are currently looking at is just our simple landing page to describe the TissueStory project. The actual, more complete TissueStory website will be going live in a couple months. We will notify you when it is live if you simply fill in the following contact form.

Why are we doing this?
Tissue makers can be proud – The TissueStory is a very positive one. So far, though, we have not been telling the story very well. In fact, we have mostly been either on the defensive or complacent on many of these questions.

Now, we can positively change this. This will involve 2 steps: 1st, by making sure everyone working in the tissue business knows these facts well, to be Ambassadors of the messages – and then, Next, the 2nd Step is to bring these positive messages to the world through various channels. This can add significant value and appreciation to the tissue category by positioning the tissue products ‘brand’ more honestly.

Two poems // David Z. Morris

Evacuate These Entries!

I gained interest in the effectiveness of speed.

Can we push to 800? 900? Beyond the wall of sound?

Floating on magnets, or perhaps pure air

Can we outrun the difference between word and meaning?

Can we reach degree zero at infinite velocity?

Evacuate These Entries!

We have published three books

Of his work

Bubbling up from the depths

A chance to put time’s genius to

Work for your beauty regime

We have better

Faces to tolerate than his

Better shoulders to cry on

Better tantrums to indulge.

Not even baby geniuses, but actual geniuses.

The wood is relaxed, mellow. More than we deserve.

But the EPA has vastly underestimated the toxicity.

You must have so many voices,

So many ways to perform

And deceive

I think about that goofball

With the dank weed

Sly shell cracking and

Flying like the past

A second ago, a second round

Symptomatic squalling head

Floating aimless down

And the rabbi says to the guy, he says

My mother got ahold of my credit card again. It’ll never end.

It’ll never fucking end.

Undulous upon Orgurous crag (Omstrongt Xperimans 2)

Undulous upon Orgurous crag, Angulan argaron sangled askeldant.

Armatran atralatrest, and thyrion in excretense.

Witren, sweetest witren, distendant unker labrotrothed,

By Testen, by Hypos, by stress and sleep and shem.

Squarulous integrotion, whelpering hishant un hongering scrant.

Ghest upon ghest, pythiously greth with crembling digibles.

Inscrenfulous, distented sacs, swoggling wibs,

Dibital, ancular, espendont and esquated.

Undulous, Undulous, meniols, tenthels,

Now tremulant and moscrant, escrial of punglishing skyflame,

Debulan, pangled, laserong, remenseless.

So much shadow, so much time, to be shocked out.

Tumblorn intong desthley,

Squeening spelthorn, hathning, pomdeled to dust.

Turn to run, turn to run, but not, toblate.

Here to sacrify, sanctimous and gremlin, the heireschary,

Face skint mankling, puissant, drengy.

Monkling itinerant in lost lands were his memblies,

Draken and dreg throatcragged, penciled, splayed.

Now, aglowning blazen skymter handy,

El scrings and slangs and sliks heretotheretohere

Taking bloodbrain, dirtlife, misterly.

Domonois holisest,

Entrameled, squirsonged, chantrened.

Like birds

What is taken, taken, taken again, from

These misklorng farbiners and steadymen,

Sweft and sminty, smenglor one and all,

By loms and listers,

By gods and gombeebs,

Entramelled, smoltern, landsik, smend.

George Clooney is magnetic as an assassin suffering an existential crisis during his last job in a small Italian village in Anton Corbijn’s po-faced drama. Those expecting a Bourne-like thrill-ride will be disappointed but Clooney and sexy co-star Violante Placido keep things steamy enough to make this worth checking out.

Good for: The George Clooney fan club.

The activists were protesting a speech by conservative author Matt Walsh at a Wisconsin college campus

Freedom of speech? Only if you're a liberal giving speeches about bizarre and perverted subjects.

Leftist protesters were spotted outside a speaking event by a conservative commentator surrounding and shouting down a man reading Bible passages before they snatched the Bible, ripped it up, and one protester ate the pages.

In the video posted by Young America’s Foundation earlier this week, a man reading Bible passages on a loudspeaker outside a screening of conservative commentator Matt Walsh’s "What is a Woman?" documentary in Madison, Wisconsin was accosted by screaming leftist protesters. One of the protesters can be seen banging on a can next to the Christian man’s face while another blared a siren next to him.

"The leftists’ attempts to silence a student reading the Bible demonstrate their utter contempt for the Judeo-Christian values upon which America was founded," Nick Baker, a spokesperson for Young America’s Foundation, told Fox News Digital in a statement.

In another video posted by the Young America’s Foundation, protesters tore up the Bible after taking it from the man and one protester could be seen eating the pages. (Too bad they didn't choke to death).

The Furtive Dryad

I think she’s finished. If you remember last week, she almost hit the trash bin. I was just having fits with the background. I kept wanting to put a little lighted hut in the background but I wasn’t listening to her story. She has left her forest home on an adventure but she must be very careful not to be caught! The humans believe her kind are only a myth and she must not let them find out the truth or they will have no peace and will have to move deeper into the forest. She will just have a quick peek and then she’ll disappear into the night.

Mixed media on canvas paper. Below is my palette of acrylics for P&P. I also used white charcoal, black Scribe All and bark Inktense pencils and gesso. I’m also showing the collage that I started with as my inspiration. I’ll be linking to Paint Party Friday and to Tracey’s Palette and Paint. I really appreciate everyone’s comments from last week. You helped save this one!

    Lovely result! I love this painting.. how it leads the eye from the lovely woman to the outside that looks like a field leading to some place. I’m quite curious about the story behind her. Great job! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!

      Thanks, Ellie! The Inktense pencils are water soluble but they have more viscosity than watercolor pencils, a little like ink. And the colors, once wet, are very very vibrant! I only have the small set of 12 (I think) but I’d love to have the big one. I have found that if I dip the tip in water, I can use them in places that other pencils will not even leave a mark.

DIY Altered Wastebasket

Check out my new custom wastebasket! This project came about because I needed a wastebasket for my home office. It needed to have a swing lid.Â  If it had no lid my dogs would dig out the chocolate wrappers and if it had a foot operated lid I would have to get out of my chair to put stuff in it. What I didn’t realize was how hard it would be to find a small wastebasket with a swing lid. After a couple of months of looking, I finally found one at Lowes Hardware. It was cream colored, it was plastic, and it was shiny.Â  BUT, it was cheap. $6.99 cheap. So I bought it and decided to give it a makeover.

Here’s what you need:

  • 1 cheapo swing lid waste basket ($6.99)
  • 1 unloved hardback novel from the thrift store ($1)
  • scrabble tiles to spell OUTBOX or TRASH (I got mine at goodwill for $1, these were already black)
  • Liquid Nails Glue It
  • Mod Podge Matte
  • Spong brush
  • Spray Primer

Take the lid off the can and pop the little swingy bit off. If it is like mine, you just pull the side out a little and slip the hole off of the peg. It is held on by tension. Take the wastebasketÂ  parts outside and spray them with primer. Do 2 thin coats, letting it dry in between. This will make everything stick better.

Here it is with it’s fresh coat of primer. It already looks better because it isn’t so shiny and screaming PLASTIC.

Tear a bunch of pages out of the book (this won’t hurt) and then tear the margins off so you don’t have so much blank space. Then tear the pages into trips about 1 1/2″ wide. You can tear several at once and they don’t have to be perfect or all the same size.

Using the sponge brush, apply Mod Podge to a small area of the wastebasket and apply a paper strip vertically. Brush a little more Mod Podge over the strip. If you put too much, it can cause bubbles to form under the paper but you can smooth those out with your fingers while it is still wet. Continue adding strips, applying the Mod Podge to just a small area at a time. Stagger the papers so you get a random look. Place some right side up and some upside down. Be sure to overlap them slightly. I worked on a piece of waxed paper to protect everything from the stickiness.

When you get to the opening of the can, fold the strips over to the inside so a couple of inches of the inside is also covered. For curvy areas on the lid, work with smaller pieces of paper and tear little notches at the edge to help you fold it neatly over the curves. I should have taken a photo of this but my fingers were covered in glue and there was no one here to help. Try not to let the paper or Mod Podge build up too thickly around the edges of the lid, because you want it to still be able to swing freely.

Let everything dry (overnight is best) and then add another coat of Mod Podge the next day.

Once that coat is dry, it is time for the letters. To make sure they were centered, and to keep them from sliding down as they dried, I clipped my metal ruler to the swing part of the lid. Take note of where the center of the lid is, according to the ruler, and work from there out. Apply some of the Glue It to the back of the middle letter and press it on, making sure you don’t put so much that it oozes out everywhere. That would look messy and might even glue the ruler to your lid! The letters will sit on top of the ruler so they won’t slide as they dry.

Once the letters are completely dry, just snap the swingy part back into the lid and you are done!

    THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I making one for each of my kids rooms. I wonder if I could use printer paper so I could have color text.

    1. admin Post author

      Most home printouts will smear when you apply the mod podge. Laser printouts might work, I’m not sure. But you could use pages from children’s books and get lots of color that way, from the pictures. Or you could use the plain text like I did and put a colored glaze on top. A glaze should be transparent enough to let the text show through.

        I’m having a real hard time with the Mod Podge anyways. I know you said it would bubble with too much but I cant figure out how to use any less. It maybe because I am using bigger sections right now since I’m using a recipe book I found at goodwill for 1.99 to use in the kitchen and I’m cutting out whole recipes. So I switched to spray adhesive and it is working awesome; it will probably work for the kids trash cans too!!!! Thanks so much for the cool idea!

          Rebecca – It might be because of the bigger sections. Also, I kind of rubbed over each piece with my finger, after applying the mod modge to the top of the paper, to press out any bubbles and push off any excess mod podge. With the spray adhesive, be sure to apply a final coat of mod podge or any kind of brush on sealer to protect it from dirt and liquid. The spray adhesive won’t do that.

    This is great! And it gives me more ideas, too. Using this method of decorating to ‘help’ family remember which laundry hamper is for darks, lights, whites, which recyclables go in which containers, even on the kids’ school binders…

    I LOVE THIS!!!! I am a writer with two novels and one upcoming. I think taking my own novel and pasting it to a trash can would be IDEAL! We all know the cute little image of a writer with writers block stressing over the typewriter with a trash can full of waded up “ideas” scattered about! lol (Although now days its computers and virtual trash cans…but the point it there!)

  7. FunMomto2

    As a reading teacher I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Looks like my new project for summer to showcase in my classroom in fall!! 🙂

    I will like to use this technique to cover some carton boxes and use them to organize my closet. Do you think that it will work?

  9. Mindi

    I agree!!! Absolutely fantastic idea!!! I can’t wait to try it!!! Thanks so much for the awesome idea!!

    I am so happy to finally be finding this. Earlier this month I saw it on Pinterest, but failed to pin it. Later, when I tried to find it again, it was absolutely hopeless I decided. I spend hours on Pinterest and the internet but turned up everything but this. Then today I was going through my pictures on my computer and I had accidentally downloaded it to my own computer instead of Pinterest. I saw the OUTGOING, & decided to do a search for it that way. BINGO, I hit the jackpot. I knew I could try it with mod podge without your post, but I don’t think I would have thought of using primer first. I can hardly wait to try this, as soon as it stops raining and the humidity goes back down.

      I’m so glad you found it! I really love mine and I think you will love yours, too. I do think using the spray primer first is crucial so that everything sticks well and you don’t end up with bubbles.

  11. Jana

    That is just the cutest, love it!! Just the other day I decided to do something with our outdoor trash can that is in our pavilion, it’s a large ugly Brute can. So far I’ve taken the before photos and still in the planning of what to do (paint or fabric, or maybe both).
    Seeing your little trash can, makes me want to go get one just like it to do for my office! What a great transformation. :0)

    1. admin Post author

      Thank you! I’ll be visiting your blog to see what you decide to do with your outdoor can. It would be a wonderfull big ole canvas for painting!

    1. admin Post author

      Yes, I used a spray primer. I got the Liquid Nails Glue It at either Lowes or Home Depot. You could probably use any thick heavy duty glue, but I already had this.

  12. Elaine

    Melissa, I saw this wastebasket a while back on Pinterest, but realized a couple of days later I had forgotten to save it. You would not believe how much time I actually wasted trying to locate it again – sure made a believer of me that if you see something you like, deal with it then – don’t assume you’ll find it later. Eventually I found the post on Before and After. Today, when I wasn’t even trying to find you, I stumbled across you again via Roadkill Rescue. Just wanted to let you know you inspired me to mod podge one of those black plastic shelves that people use in garages and storerooms. I’m leaving you a link to my pinterest board to show you what I’m talking about – hope it works., also

    1. admin Post author

      I’m so glad you found me, Elaine! I can’t tell you how many times I have done the same thing, and sometimes I never do find it again. Thanks for your Pinterest link. I love your shelf. I can see you were already well aquainted with the mod podge! I really like your clock, too. I recently bought an old clock to alter but haven’t decided just what I want to do with it yet.

Aquarians are extremely vulnerable and sensitive. Although you may often find them being surrounded by many friends but in reality they rarely have close friends and acquaintances. Aquarius is a universal sign which makes them public people. Hence Aquarians are often associated with clubs, organizations and forums and enthusiastically participate in intellectual discussions. Aquarians are great communicators as long as they are within their mental realm.

Astro 4008 Spray Gun Review

Editor Rating: 4.3/5

Great Product

Astro 4008 Spray Gun

Reviewed by: Timothy Henderson

Last modified: Jul 20, 2022 @ 2:45 pm

  • Price

Astro 4008 Review Summary:

If you find turbine-powered HVLP machines don’t offer the versatility your painting projects need, a compressor compatible unit might be best. The Astro 4008 spray gun could be that tool.

Coping with the most common spraying mediums — including primers, enamels, acrylics, and contact cement — this gun is as comfortable addressing fences and walls as it is car bodywork and cabinets.

Working from a three horsepower compressor (not included), this unit knocks out a mighty 50-60 psi, which is sufficient to propel even the densest liquids while providing rapid coverage.

Its 1.8-mm (0.07-inch) nozzle provides a consistent and even coat with a minimum of overspray, reducing wastage. Featuring a proprietary Anti-Spill Air Feed Line, you can access the most awkward and tight spraying locations without worrying about drips.

A one-quart aluminum cup keeps weight to a minimum, reducing fatigue during extended projects. And the red-coated, stainless steel pistol and trigger offer reassuring durability.

With an industry-standard one-quarter inch inlet thread, this unit is compatible with most air compressors and hoses. Furthermore, it can produce a spray width up to eleven inches, allowing for the speedy completion of larger spraying jobs.

The 4008 is Astro’s flagship siphon-fed spray gun. It’s equivalent in the gravity-fed market is the EVOT14. The family-owned Astro brand has over 40 years of experience in the pneumatic arena and is based in California, although the product itself is made in China.

Weighs just three pounds.
Adjustable fan width.
Bold design.
One-quart aluminum paint cup.
Anti-spill feature.
One-year warranty.
Air consumption of 7-12 CFM.
Comprehensive instructions for spraying newbies.

Red paintwork is liable to chipping.
The small trigger may be tough on the fingers.
Lacks a choice of tips.
Liable to splutter when tilted.

Features and Benefits of the Astro 4008 Spray Gun

The manufacturer claims that the Astro HVLP spray gun is a step above the standard hardware store machines.

Time to dive into the Astro paint gun’s features to see if it meets these claims.

Anti-Spill Air Feed Line

If you’re a seasoned sprayer, you know the challenges of inverted spraying, such as painting ceilings. Typically, turning the unit away from the horizontal plane can lead to leakage and seepage. And cover your hands and floor with paint.

This is a common issue with turbine HVLP machines unless you opt for a unit designed to cope with this particular problem, such as the Wagner Power Painter Plus. And, in compressor-compatible guns, this unwanted occurrence is just as expected.

So it’s reassuring to see that the 4008 Astro paint gun incorporates an anti-spill air feed line. Even when spraying vertically there should be no unwanted drips from the canister.

That said, many users indicate that when spraying in an inverted manner, the suction begins to fail, leading to splatters.

Adjustable Fan Spray

When tackling large scale jobs like a complete exterior home respray, you need rapid coverage. I’m pleased to see this unit provides a broad 11-inch spray pattern, which will allow you to complete your big projects promptly.

However, size isn’t everything.

While this generous delivery is ideal for more extensive work, it’s overkill on precise jobs such as painting railings or staining shelves. The 4008 model, as with all Astro spray guns, has adjustable spray-fan settings, allowing you to narrow the delivery for detailed projects.

Aluminum Paint Container

The 4008 from Astro comes complete with a one-quart paint cup. This should provide sufficient capacity to cover an area of around 120 square feet (dependent on the stain or paint viscosity and the pressure level used).

This container is constructed from aluminum to prevent rust corrosion and should prolong the cup’s longevity. Furthermore, as it’s made from this lightweight metal, fatigue and wrist strain should be kept at bay.

That said, this aluminum build isn’t the most durable on the market. Many 4008 users note that even a little knock and the container dents.

Comprehensive User Guide

If you’re a newcomer to compressor spraying, all the talk of adjustable fans, overspray, and splutter can be a little overwhelming.

Thankfully, the guys at Astro understand that not everyone has pro-level knowledge of air-powered painting and have included a user guide that’s ideal for paint spraying virgins.

This detailed manual deals with compressor coverage essentials, including first-time set-up, tailoring spray patterns, determining flow rate, and the correct application of different spraying mediums.

Ergonomic Handle and Trigger

The Astro 4008 incorporates a welcome textured handle. This adds valuable traction, a boon for perspiring, or paint-drenched hands. It also helps prevent accidental mishaps that could otherwise ruin your final finish.

A curved easy-pull trigger offers additional stability and means fewer finger slips. Although, unless you have unfeasibly small digits, it only allows for two-fingered operation. In comparison, many of its competitors allow you to use four fingers.

1.8-mm Spray Tip

The 1.8 mm spray tip supplied with the Astro 4008 is compatible with most commonly used coatings, including primers, glues, enamels, and chalk-based paints. Just note that more viscous liquids may need thinning.

While undoubtedly a versatile tip, it’s a shame that this model doesn’t come with any alternative tip sizes, which would permit you to tailor your spray-end to your chosen medium. Other machines, for example, the Sprayit SP-33000, come with a choice of nozzle ends.

What Users Say About The Astro 4008?

In my opinion, this unit is a perfectly capable machine for infrequent users or compressor spraying new kids on the block.

However, to provide a completely unbiased Astro pneumatic spray gun review, I sought owners’ views. Let’s discover how this machine functions in real-world situations.

Happily, the feedback was positive for the most part. Users of the 4008 welcomed its lightweight construction, praised its variable-width spray patterns, and lauded the reliable 1.8 mm tip.

Granted, there were some naysayers. A few guys felt dissatisfied with the splutter that can occur when the gun is inverted. Furthermore, others questioned why this Astro paint gun, a machine that promises the ultimate in versatility, only includes one tip.

But in general, the owners agreed that the 4008 Astro provided a satisfactory even finish at a price point that doesn’t break the bank.

If you fancy doing your own Bernstein and Woodward type investigation (without bringing down the presidency), check out the testimonials for yourself.

Alternatives to Astro 4008 Spray Gun

If this Astro spray gun review hasn’t whetted your spraying appetite, don’t give up yet.

I’ve sourced three viable alternatives that may suit your requirements better and could stimulate your urge to paint.

If, like me, you’re disappointed that the Astro 4008 doesn’t offer a choice of tips, this machine could be the solution.

The SP-33000K arrives complete with three nozzle ends (1.3, 1.5, and 1.7 mm), allowing you to use the right tip for your spraying medium. Furthermore, with the included hard carry case, you can safely store your gun, tips, tools, and cleaning materials.

  • LVLP as opposed to the Astro 4008’s HVLP.
  • Smaller paint cup than the Astro paint gun; 0.625 quarts as opposed to one quart.
  • Harder on the pocket than the Astro 4008.
If you’re not a fan of bottom-fed units and prefer the greater flexibility of gravity-fed guns, this unit may appeal.

Like the 4000, the EVOT14 hails from the US-based Astro manufacturer. This machine is the company’s top-end compressor sprayer and features a completely anodized body for unbeatable durability and a soft-pull trigger to ease finger fatigue.

  • Smaller cup than the 4008; 0.63 quarts as opposed to one quart.
  • Unlike the 4008, this unit has an air curtain to prevent pollution and overspray.
  • LSignificantly tougher on the bank balance than the Astro 4008.
Loving the anti-spill and inversion capabilities of the Astro 4008, but neither own nor have the intention of purchasing a compressor? If that sounds like you, check out this unit.

The Power Painter Plus is an HVLP machine, but instead of utilizing a separate air unit, it works from an internal hydraulic pump. A proprietary EZ-Tilt feature means the sprayer works upside down with no drips or spillage from the paint container.

  • Harder on the bank balance than the 4008 but doesn’t need a compressor.
  • Like the Astro 4008, it includes a one-quart container.
  • Choice of three spray patterns, not a feature of the 4008.

If you’re an infrequent sprayer or taking your first tentative steps in the world of compressor painting, the 4008 Astro paint gun may suit.

Its 1.8 mm-tip copes well with the most popular mediums, while its adjustable spray width means you can customize your delivery to suit the base material.

The generous one-quart paint cup provides sufficient capacity for larger projects, and its anti-spill air feed line allows for inverted use. Furthermore, the comprehensive manual is excellent for air spraying virgins.

Admittedly, the lack of additional tips, liability to splutter, and the fatigue-inducing trigger will deter both pro-users and hardcore DIYers.

That said, if you want an affordable unit for casual home use, take a minute to check out the Astro 4008 spray gun.

How to Enable Remote Connections in SQL Server 2014/2012/2008

October 23rd, 2014 by Admin

When you try to connect to a SQL Server instance from a remote computer, you might receive the following error message:

Cannot connect to SQL Server.
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2008, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 – Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)

After installing SQL Server, the remote connection feature is disabled by default, and you’re only allowed to connect to your database locally. This article explains how to configure remote connections for a default SQL Server 2014/2012/2008 instance that you want to connect to from a remote computer.

How to Enable Remote Connections in SQL Server 2014/2012/2008?

Open the SQL Server Management Studio and log on to your DB locally. Right-click server name in the left pane and select Properties.

Select the Connections page in the left pane and make sure that checkbox Allow remote connections to this server is selected. Once this is done, exit SQL Server Management Studio.

Open the SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand the node SQL Server Network Configuration and select Protocols for MSSQLServer (or whatever the name of your SQL Server instance is). Make sure that TCP/IP protocol is enabled.

Right-click on TCP/IP and select Properties. In the TCP/IP Properties dialog, select the IP Addresses tab and scroll down to IPAII. Make sure TCP Dynamic Ports is blank and that TCP Port is set to 1433.

Click OK to save your changes and restart your SQL Server instance. Now you should be able to connect to your SQL Server instance remotely using SQL Server Management Studio.

If there is still problem in remote connection, you most likely need to configure your firewall settings and make sure the TCP port 1433 is not blocked by your firewall.

Croatia vs Saudi Arabia Match Review

Saudi Arabia and Croatia will play a friendly match on Wednesday night in Riyadh to complete their World Cup preparations.

Last Thursday’s exhibition match between the Green Men and Panama ended in a draw, while Zlatko Dalic’s team hasn’t played since defeating Austria in the UEFA Nations League back in September.

Croatia vs Saudi Arabia Tips and Prediction

Even if Herve Renard’s team hasn’t had many goal-filled outings lately, stringing together a seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions could position Saudi Arabia up nicely for a meeting with last year’s losing World Cup finalists.

Ismael Diaz’s eighth-minute goal was cancelled out by a Haitham Asiri goal eight minutes before halftime, giving Saudi Arabia a draw with Panama last Thursday after starting their November friendly schedule with a victory over Iceland.

After being eliminated in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup, Renard’s team is preparing to compete at the finals for the second consecutive year. It will take something extraordinary for the AFC side to avoid a similar fate this time around against Argentina, Mexico, and Poland in Group C.

Fans shouldn’t anticipate a lot of goalmouth action on Wednesday because Saudi Arabia has only scored four goals during its seven-game unbeaten streak, allowed just two goals to be scored against them, and has kept five clean sheets.

Amazingly, Saudi Arabia hasn’t had more than two goals scored in a game since October 2021, when the Green Men defeated China 3-2 in World Cup qualifying. That match also marked the last time the 51st-ranked nation in the world allowed two goals on home soil.

When Dalic led the Chequered Ones into their first-ever World Cup final four years ago, which was defeated by France on a soggy evening in Moscow, he had not even celebrated his first anniversary as Croatia’s manager.

Croatia enters the Qatar tournament with the wind in their sails after making it through to the Nations League Finals – finishing top of League A Group 1 and exacting revenge on France in the process. They also topped their qualification group for the 2022 edition having only lost one game.

The Chequered Ones won four of their final four Nations League games to advance to the finals, while other teams struggled amid the busy schedule. They now have the difficult task of trying to improve at the World Cup.

Croatia will begin their quest for glory against the African nation on November 23. Playing away from their home stadium does not phase Dalic’s team, who have won each of their last six away games in all competitions. Croatia has been paired with Belgium, Morocco, and Canada in Group F of the tournament.

Saudi Arabia and Croatia will play each other for the first time on Wednesday, and Croatia may be excused for taking a cautious approach to this friendly in order to avoid any catastrophic injuries before the World Cup.

Given that they won over Turkey at the end of September, the Faroe Islands should be appreciated for their recent performance.

We predict the home team to win on Wednesday night, but the Czech Republic has a strong lineup available for this encounter.
