text: I put this in this thread because this is where it belongs. For pretty much ever, BC(before Christ) has been used to denote "ancient history". I was reading up on some Roman History and they kept on referring to dates as "BCE" as in "Before Current Events". What makes this mindless moonbat gibberish is that something that happened in 1950 could hardly be considered "current events" let alone something that happened a millennia or 2 ago.

Joy Division isn't the only one that's trying to get the timing just right for a special-edition Zune. Allen Iverson's people are apparently hoping to do the same with their own exclusive version of Microsoft's media player now that his Denver Nuggets have barely secured the last spot in the NBA playoffs.
An etching of the superstar will appear on the back of a limited-edition 8GB Zune packaged with a pair of Reebok shoes called the "Answer XI Zune," according to CrunchGear. Weird.
Only 60 of these special bundles will be sold at a yet-unknown price, but that may be plenty if the Nuggets don't make it past the first round. (What is it about Zunes and shoes, anyway?)

Which hairstyles are simple but suitable for almost any official event? There are many options for formal hairstyles: beautiful, romantic and glamorous.
The secrets of the formal event's success are the detailed planning and the organization. Fresh haircuts are not always easy to manage. Then with your stylist's help have to choose the right formal hairstyles for you. You can choose a particular hairstyle from celebrities in a magazine.
Updo hairstyles are always in vogue. Curly hair deposited near the crown with curls framing the face is very feminine. If your hair is blond and absolutely straight you can use medium length haircut and gentle waves.
Layered wavy hair does not need any special formal hairstyles. Straight hair in a pony tail is a perfect formal hairstyle for business meetings.

I think you can say ~ In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and post with charitable and prayerful intentions.
Of course, such an explanation assumes that the Father stands/is seated on His throne with His "back" facing us. I've always figured that if priest and people stand in the same orientation offering sacrifice to God, then He is facing our direction. Or have I been wrong? My tendency is to say that the right hand side is the place of honour, and so the Mother of God is to the right of Christ, just as Christ is at the right hand of the Father. There is a Byzantine icon where Christ is enthroned, and on His right and left there are any number of saints; the Virgin is always at His immediate right.
I'm perplexed, bothered and bewildered. Can you solve this for me ?In the RC Church the Lady Chapel is on the right, Her Statues are on the right [ as you look at the altar that is] The Sacred Heart altar is on the left and any statues of Her Son are on the left. Now in the East however, Our Lady is on the left and Her Son on the right So why the difference ?
My own Parish is over 100 years old and apart from the moving forward of the Main Altar in accordance with Vat II
QuoteMy own Parish is over 100 years old and apart from the moving forward of the Main Altar in accordance with Vat II The truth is Vatican II didn't mandate that. All it said was that altars should be freestanding, not must (unless the two words mean the same thing, must, in Catholic theology and/or canon law — I don't think they do).
And of course one can have a freestanding altar and still face the correct way--"towards God"--as we do!
QuoteAnd of course one can have a freestanding altar and still face the correct way--"towards God"--as we do!And that may have been what the legitimate liturgical movement in the Roman Rite had in mind. They wanted the altar freestanding so they could walk all the way around it while censing it.
But, Serge, as I've observed on TV, even Pope John Paul II celebrates Mass "facing the people" on such a free-standing altar under the magnificent baroque balduchino in St. Peter's Basilica! And he does it everywhere else "facing the people" on free-standing altars, I've observed, as well. When the chief liturgist of the Roman Rite does it this way, well, there's an example to follow if one wants to "keep in line" and out of trouble, no? Or am I missing the point and the discussion is only about free-standing altars, no matter which side of them the priest stands?
The Pope celebrates Mass for the vast majority of the year in his private chapel at the Vatican or at his summer residence, and in both, the altar is not freestanding, so he must celebrate "with his back to the people".
What's the purpose in having so many altars in a church?
Very good question, one which until later years has taken for granted but never questioned. What is the point, and when did this tradition start in the western church?JoeS Quote from: Frobisher on February 27, 2003, 07:17:08 PMWhat's the purpose in having so many altars in a church?
QuotePRIVATE "Low" Masses without a congregation required or needed to be in attendance, not even an altar boy. Each priest would do his own silent, mumbled thing at his own preferred altar; it would be "HIS" Mass. The idea of "liturgy" (work of the people) had somehow gone out the window.Hypo-Ortho
The only Tridentine mass I have been to consisted of whispers and people with their heads dug in missals. I couldn't hear the priest as half the liturgy was performed silently. It was frankly rather boring.

After praying the Angelus on Sept. 20, Pope Benedict XVI offered his prayers for civilians caught in the world's conflicts and foreign troops working to promote peace and development. Speaking from the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, Pope Benedict XVI said that he was deeply saddened to hear of the roadside bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed 10 Afghan civilians and six Italian soldiers on Sept. 17.
The deaths and injuries resulting from violence around the world "are facts we can never grow accustomed to and that incur strong reprimand and dismay in communities that hold peace and civil coexistence close to heart," the pope said. While he had special prayers for the families of the Italian casualities, the pope said he was also pained by the deaths of members of other international contingents "who work to promote peace and the development of institutions necessary for human coexistence."
Pope Benedict said he prayed to God "with a special thought for the dear civilian population," and he appealed to all parties to oppose "the logic of violence and death by fostering justice, reconciliation and peace and supporting the development of people, starting with love and mutual understanding." The pope also sent a telegram that was read during the state funeral for the six Italian soldiers at St. Paul's Outside the Walls on Sept. 21.

Abstract: Exploring Tristan de Luna's Lost Galleon: A Study of Florida's Earliest Shipwreck
Discovery of a well-preserved early Spanish shipwreck in Pensacola Bay, Florida, has reopened a long forgotten chapter of Latin-American history. Assembled by the Viceroy of New Spain, a fleet of eleven ships under the command of Tristán de Luna embarked from Mexico in 1559 to establish a colony on the shores of La Florida. Aboard the ships were more than 1,500 soldiers, settlers, and servants equipped with livestock, agricultural and construction tools. The colonists disembarked at Pensacola, only to suffer a hurricane that destroyed all but three of the ships anchored in the harbor, some of which had not yet been unloaded. The catastrophe doomed the Luna colony, which was eventually abandoned in 1561.
During a survey of shipwrecks in Pensacola Bay, underwater archaeologists from the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research have discovered the remains one of the larger galleons in Luna's fleet buried beneath a shallow sandbar. Two campaigns of careful excavation have revealed a surprisingly well-preserved array of colonial artifacts, as well as faunal and botanical specimens, that present a fascinating portrait of Spain's ill-fated attempt to secure a foothold on the frontier of its American empire. Follow the archaeologists as they explore Florida's earliest shipwreck.

Go take a hike – it's good for your brain.
So says a new study that supports something called Attention Restoration Theory, which holds that exposure to nature can replenish our cognitive reserves when they are worn out by overuse. And if you live a modern urban or suburban life, your cognitive reserves are surely depleted: A typical teenager spends more than 7.5 hours per day juggling a computer, cellphone, TV and other media, and the number is surely higher for a typical adult, according to the study:
"Our modern society is filled with sudden events (sirens, horns, ringing phones, alarms, televisions, etc.) that hijack attention. By contrast, natural environments are associated with a gentle, soft fascination, allowing the executive attentional system to replenish."
If that sounds like a far-fetched ad for the Sierra Club, consider that studies have found that taking a hike or otherwise spending some time in nature has been shown to help people do better on laboratory tests (like controlling the perceived rotation of a Necker Cube) as well as real-life tasks, like proof reading.

It's never a good sign when a show celebrating television feels like a rerun from the beginning.
When host Jane Lynch of "Glee" began a pre-taped musical number celebrating TV with "surprise" guest spots from prominent actors, a viewer immediately thinks of Jimmy Fallon's "Born to Run" takeoff on last year's show.
Not in a good way, though. Fallon's opening felt fresh and funny. Lynch's felt hashed-over. Even Jon Hamm was a rerun; the "Mad Men" actor appeared in Fallon's skit, too.
There's also something a little off-putting about a musical number proclaiming television "a vast wonderland" and "joy in a box" when it's drenched in irony. This is the time of year when viewers actually want to believe that, and not feel it's all one big joke.
The problem with using irony as the dominant comedic theme is that undercuts other moments. Charlie Sheen may deserve his own real-life Emmy for his springtime of bizarre entertainment, but he came onstage Sunday to calmly wish the stars of his old "Two and Half Men" good luck in their upcoming season.
Then you waited. He couldn't mean that, could he? It had to be some sort of a joke, right? No, apparently not.
By the way, the Emmys should rethink the idea of frontloading the telecast with so many comedy awards. Not only does it diminish comedy vis a vis drama, it takes the risk of what exactly happened Sunday: that the awards were less about all of television and more about one show.
That did give Lynch her best moment of the night. "Welcome back to the 'Modern Family' awards," she said coming back from a commercial.
The drama awards did add some class and a few surprises to the show. The biggest was when Kyle Chandler of "Friday Night Lights" took home the drama acting award, giving luster to a network show that struggled for public attention.

Guy Pearce and Kate Winslet were delights for their wins with "Mildred Pierce." Pearce was drolly humorous in talking about working with Winslet, while Winslet — a big movie star — was infectious with her enthusiasm.
It's early in awards season, but can we start a moratorium on winners saying "I did not think that was going to happen" or "I was sure I wasn't going to win so I didn't write a speech"? Come on, we heard from the "Mad Men" folks when they won best drama. You're the most praised show on television, and you say you're surprised to win an Emmy? Come on. If you're nominated, don't act surprised to win.
The Emmy for most sincere pleasure had to go to Margo Martindale, a veteran actress genuinely touched by winning for "Justified."
We're happy for "The Good Wife" and CBS and for Julianna Margulies for her Emmy. But it sounded awfully off-putting to hear her describe "my stellar cast."

It's also time, perhaps, to get rid of the announcer who makes pithy comments while Emmy winners approach the stage, like when he talked about Margulies' favorite "I Love Lucy" episodes as she climbed to the stage. Really? When it's neither funny nor adds valuable information, it may be the time to rethink it.
You want reruns? How about "The Daily Show" and Jon Stewart winning an Emmy for their show for the ninth year in a row? Or another win for "Amazing Race"? Their work shouldn't be diminished, but it's just one more signal for viewers that they've seen it all before. David Spade couldn't have looked less excited about the reality show awards if he was trying to act that way.
In one sign that much of the creativity in television has shifted to late-night, one of the night's best routines came when Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel came onstage to present an award. Their elaborate joke about whether or not Fallon had written a speech in case he won an Emmy felt fresh and funny.
We liked the beauty pageant way the nominees for best comedy actress lined up onstage when their names were called.
The biggest backstage buzz was about someone who WASN'T there: Alec Baldwin. He asked that a pre-taped bit that included him in the opening skit be excluded when a joke involving News Corp.'s phone hacking scandal was cut out by Emmys broadcaster Fox. He was replaced by Leonard Nimoy.
It all made Ricky Gervais' comedy skit seem more ironic. The controversial "Golden Globes" host appeared in a pre-taped routine, and said Fox editors would change it if he said something offensive. Of course, he seemed to say several "offensive" things awkwardly cut out and replaced. After Gervais started saying that HBO was the best network on television, the edit had him saying, "apart from Fox, that is."

An Arkansas 911 operator has resigned months after the death of a woman who called for help when she and her son were trapped inside a vehicle in a pond, authorities said Thursday.
LITTLE ROCK (AP) — An Arkansas 911 operator has resigned months after the death of a woman who called for help when she and her son were trapped inside a vehicle in a pond, authorities said Thursday.
The 911 operator's resignation last week follows Jinglei Yi's death on Jan. 14. Yi, 39, died after she called 911 because her vehicle hit a patch of ice and ended up in a Little Rock pond.
Little Rock police said in a statement Thursday that the city 911 operator resigned on June 14. Police spokeswoman Sgt. Cassandra Davis would not immediately release a copy of the operator's resignation letter, citing the operator's right to seek an opinion from the attorney general.
Police have said a county dispatcher transferred Yi's call to the city 911 operator, who spoke with Yi briefly before hanging up and contacting an ambulance service.
An ambulance was dispatched to the pond a few minutes later, but police officers and firefighters weren't dispatched until about a half-hour later — after the ambulance service called to verify that they were en route.
Yi died that day, and her son was in critical condition after the incident. His current condition isn't clear. Davis said she's not aware of the son's medical condition, and a phone number for Yi's family couldn't immediately be located.
The 911 operator has not been charged with any wrongdoing in the case. A Pulaski County coroner's report says Yi drowned and that her death was an accident.
The head of the city police and fire departments' communications branch has said the operator did not enter Yi's call into a computerized dispatching system that would have alerted police and fire dispatchers.
Davis refused to release any documents related to the investigation into the incident. She also would not comment on whether someone had determined if the dispatching delay contributed to Yi's death.
"It would be part of the investigation, and because it did not result in a suspension or termination, I can't give you any information on the investigation," the police spokeswoman said.

"Wow!!! I am simply amazed by the help and service I received. It was friendly and professional. I am fully confident that everything was completed correctly. I will be a return client!"
"I was incredibly satisfied with the help I received. All persons I came across today treated me with respect and were so kind to explain things to me. I even get a credit this year, thanks to my tax preparer's knowledge. You guys are fabulous."
"Everyone is so helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Wish I would have found this years ago."
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) is an IRS initiative designed to promote and support free tax preparation service for the underserved, low income populations. These include the elderly, disabled, limited-English- speaking, rural communities, and Native American taxpayers. Davenport University became involved in the VITA program over nine years ago with a handful of students. In 2008, DU opened its own tax sites, managed entirely by DU students.
In 2010 Davenport University spearheaded a West Michigan Collegiate VITA Partnership and has partnered with several local institutions every year since.
Currently we have over 110 student volunteers from Davenport University, Cornerstone University, and Aquinas College.
We have sites located in three counties in West Michigan, however, DU student volunteers participate in VITA across the state of Michigan. Sign-ups are throughout the months of November and December and the tax season runs from January through April 15.

Breast Enhancement
Penn researchers discover a molecular pathway that leads to recurrence of breast cancer
Penn researchers discover a molecular pathway that leads to recurrence of breast cancerSeptember 20, 2005 (Philadelphia, PA)-Using a recently developed mouse model of breast cancer, a team from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine has shown that Snail, a molecule normally important in embryonic development, can promote breast cancer recurrence.
They also found that high Snail expression predicts more rapid tumor recurrence in women who have been treated for breast cancer. These observations suggest that Snail may represent a target for cancer therapy. Among women, breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer mortality. Of the more than 5 million women currently living with a diagnosis of breast cancer, recurrence represents the most common cause of death from this disease.
Remarkably, recurrences can appear up to 20 years following surgery, although most occur within the first two years. "Up to 40 percent of women thought to be cancer free following surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy still have tumor cells in their bodies in a dormant state. As such, approaches to prevent cancer recurrence in these women would be broadly applicable," says senior author Lewis A. Chodosh, MD, PhD, Vice Chair of the Department of Cancer Biology and Director of Cancer Genetics at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute at Penn.
The researchers published their findings in the September 2005 issue of Cancer Cell. "To this point there are extraordinarily few targets that have been causally implicated in breast cancer recurrence. Consequently, there are few treatments available to offer women who are at risk for recurrence once they have received standard treatments," says Chodosh. The Penn team of researchers induced breast cancer in the genetically engineered mice by giving doxycycline to turn on the oncogene HER-2/neu.
This oncogene is commonly amplified in human breast cancers and is associated with aggressive disease and poor clinical outcome. The researchers then induced these tumors to regress by turning off the HER2/neu oncogene in fully formed tumors. This mimics important aspects of molecularly targeted therapies and leads to the dramatic regression of tumors to a clinically undetectable state. Nevertheless, residual tumor cells lie in a dormant state and later grow out after a month to a year in the mice.
Using microarrays, Chodosh's team compared recurrent tumors with the original tumors from which they arose. They found that a variety of genes were turned on in recurrent tumors that were not on in the original tumors, including the transcriptional regulatory protein, Snail, which was induced ten-fold. The Penn team also identified changes in the microscopic appearance of the cells in recurrent tumors, which had transformed from a cuboidal, epithelial shape to a spindle, fibroblastic shape-a change associated with more aggressive tumors in humans. Snail was first identified in fruit flies and later in mice based on its essential role in embryogenesis during a developmental transition in which normal cells undergo a similar change in shape.
"Snail controls a complex set of cellular functions that cancer cells appropriate by turning on this master regulatory gene," explains Chodosh. To prove a cause-and-effect, the researchers added Snail back to the original tumor cells in mice and showed that Snail increased the rate of recurrence. But could Snail expression play a similar role in women with breast cancer? When the Penn team delved into public databases of breast cancer tissue data, separating cases into those with high levels of Snail and those with low levels of Snail, they found that women whose original breast cancers expressed high levels of Snail were twice as likely to experience a recurrence within five years following surgery compared to women whose cancers expressed low levels of Snail. The magnitude of risk associated with high Snail expression is comparable to standard prognostic factors such as estrogen-receptor status, HER-2/Neu amplification, tumor size and grade, and lymph node status and-after correcting for the effects of these factors-Snail expression was shown to predict a woman's risk of recurrence independent of these factors.
Currently, Chodosh and colleagues are exploring the precise molecular mechanism by which Snail triggers breast cancer recurrence, as well as ways of targeting Snail's signaling pathways as a possible therapeutic approach to prevent recurrence. University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine

Cubs visit Fenway for 1st time since 1918 Series
Here's how long it's been since the Cubs played at Fenway Park:
The last time they visited, Chicago hitters were trying to break
through against ace pitcher Babe Ruth, and baseball's oldest
ballpark was still a new-age novelty.
Nearly a century later, the Cubs are finally headed back to
Fenway to face the Boston Red Sox when two of the sport's most
storied franchises open interleague play Friday night.
"This is a great series for the fans," said Red Sox manager
Terry Francona, a part-time player for the Cubs in 1986. "I think
it's going to be a big ticket."
Indeed, everyone on Yawkey Way was getting geared up.
Souvenir shops were hawking all kinds of Cubs-Red Sox
merchandise Thursday, including a green T-shirt that read: "THE
A front-row seat for Sunday night's nationally televised game
was available for $860 on StubHub.
"Everybody I know on the face of the earth is going to be
there," said Cubs manager Mike Quade, who has family in the Boston
area. "It will be a fun weekend for all of us."
In particular, fans with a thirst for history and tradition.
Way back in 1918, overshadowed by World War I, the Cubs and Red
Sox squared off in the 15th World Series.
At the time, they were the two most successful clubs in
baseball. The Red Sox already owned four Series championships,
while the Cubs were coming off their fifth National League pennant
in 13 years.
Because of the war, the baseball season ended a month early that
year and the World Series was played in early September. Many key
players on both sides sat out because they were serving in the
military or working.
Hoping for big crowds, the Cubs played their Series home games
at Comiskey Park instead of Wrigley Field, which had opened four
years earlier.
After the first three games in Chicago, the Series moved to
Boston and players threatened to strike over a dispute about gate
money. The Red Sox wrapped up the title in six games despite
scoring only nine runs, and the clincher drew just 15,238 fans.
The armistice between the Allies and Germany was signed exactly
two months later.
So, are the Cubs bent on revenge for that painful defeat 93
years ago? Chicago first baseman Carlos Pena laughed.
"We're not going to put all of that on us. We're just going to
do the best we can to win a game," said Pena, who went to high
school just outside Boston and attended Northeastern University in
the city. "It's a historic event. We're going to enjoy it, and I'm
sure the fans will also."
Ruth went 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA in two starts during the 1918
Series and entered the final game as a defensive replacement in
left field. He was still more accomplished as a pitcher than a
slugger back then – even though he hit .300 with a league-leading
11 homers and 66 RBIs that season.
With the dead ball era winding down, The Bambino teamed up with
21-game winner Carl Mays to shut down a Chicago club led by first
baseman Fred Merkle and pitcher Hippo Vaughn.
Recently, the Chicago History Museum put a 1920 court deposition
on its website that raised questions about whether the Cubs threw
the Series.
Of course, that was still the early stages of a long run of
futility for the Cubs, who haven't won a World Series since 1908.
And the 1918 title was the last for the Red Sox until they ended an
86-year drought in 2004.
All the while, loyal fans fell in love with each franchise,
cherishing summer days at sun-splashed Wrigley Field or creaky
Fenway Park, which opened in 1912.
"Still loyal – loyal with a sense of what's going to happen
next? Once we were able to break through that then things
changed," Boston catcher Jason Varitek said. "I think it's a fun
matchup for the history of the game."
But my, how times have changed. In recent years Boston has
become a perennial contender (with another championship in 2007),
while the Cubs have struggled. Knocked out of the playoffs three
times in the past decade, they haven't even been to the World
Series since 1945.
The Cubs aren't expected to challenge in the NL Central this
year, either, and they're off to a slow start.
"Both historical organizations, just one's going in a different
direction," Red Sox outfielder Mike Cameron said.
Interleague play began in 1997, but the schedule had not sent
the Cubs to Boston until this year. They took two of three games
from the Red Sox in a 2005 series at Wrigley Field.
"We all appreciate history, but it is another game and you're
more focused on what you need to do as an individual and not the
aura and stuff that surrounds it," Quade said. "But one of the
things that makes the game great is this kind of matchup. So many
friends of mine and family members wouldn't miss this for the
Neither would some of the players.
"I've never been to Fenway before. I've never even been to
Boston. I'm pretty excited to get up there and see what it's all
about," said Cubs rookie Tony Campana, who made his major league
debut Tuesday. "It's two of the biggest baseball teams ever. For
them to play each other, it's going to be fun. We're all pretty
excited about it."
Behind the Fenway Park press box, a grainy photo depicts that
1918 Series. Take a close look and it's easy to marvel at all that
HASN'T changed.
"As many times as I've been in Fenway, it's still fun to walk
in there and go, `Wow.' Hopefully the 'wow' won't last too long,
and it's time to go to work," Quade said.

As my Elecraft K3 is the most important and most expensive item in G4ILO's shack, some readers may be surprised that there is no review of the K3 in the Reviews part of my main site. The reason is that when I first received my K3, I was quite disappointed with it in many respects. Many of the advertised features that were among my reasons for buying it were still to be implemented when the first radios were shipped. Any criticisms that I made at the time would, I hoped, eventually be obsolete. So I have been waiting for the K3 to be finished, or at least to perform as I expected, before giving my verdict.
More than two years on from its inital announcement, there are still things I'm waiting to be finished or put right. So I am publishing my review in this blog, representing my thoughts about the K3 at this point in time, rather than on my main site.
My reason for buying a K3 in the first place was largely just that it was an Elecraft. I had owned a K2 since 1999 and had built several of Elecraft's other kits and modules since then. I have great admiration for Wayne, Eric and Lyle, talented radio designers who are not afraid to take an innovative approach in their products. They are also enthusiasts for their products, happy to engage with their customers through the medium of the Elecraft email reflector and respond to criticisms and suggestions. Elecraft has a first class reputation for customer service. None of what I am about to say is intended to detract from any of that.
However, the K3 exists in a marketplace alongside many other radios. It has to be judged by how well it compares with its competitors in its price class, and those below it. The K3 is lauded as the radio with the best receiver, able to pick out weak signals in close proximity to very strong ones better than anything else. It is claimed to be better even than more expensive radios. For many keen DXers and contesters that capability may be important enough to justify overlooking other failings. However, for the average Joe Ham with poor to moderate antennas in a QTH with a noise floor filled with emissions from electrical devices such receive characteristics have little value except perhaps to give bragging rights. It's how a radio looks, feels and sounds, how comfortable it is to use, and how suitable it is to use for modes other than CW or SSB that many of us ordinary Joes like to play with, that are more important. And in many of those respects the K3 does worse even than some of the cheaper alternatives.
To start with the look and feel. In pictures, and at a normal operating distance, the K3 looks quite attractive, if stylistically somewhat dated. However, its compact size suggests a medium to budget price radio rather than high end. Close up, the many screw heads scream "kit built", which of course my K3 actually is. The poor paint finish, plasticky knobs and gritty feel of the smaller rotary controls also say "cheap", which the K3 certainly isn't. Some of those complaints are a direct result of the K3's design aims to be user assembled (if required) and light weight (for portable / DXpedition use.) But most K3s are bought ready assembled and never move from the shack desk, and those buyers may not accept the compromise. The K3 is a radio to use, not drool over.
A frequent criticism of the K3 is its poor ergonomics, especially the lack of separate band and mode buttons. It's a fair point: other radios in the K3's price class are bigger, and can afford larger controls and more buttons. Both my K2 and my FT-817 select band and mode by up/down buttons, so I felt that was something I could live with. Still, every time I change band instead of mode, or vice-versa, or go the long way round when making a change, it's annoying. And it's an annoyance that's easier to forgive in a radio as tiny as the FT-817 that has no choice in the matter than in one that could easily have been made a bit bigger.
My biggest irritation with the K3 is its implementation of memories, which is frankly awful. In every other radio I have used, you press a button labelled V/M to switch between VFO and memory mode. In memory mode, you immediately go to the last selected memory band/frequency/mode etc. The VFO or some other control then acts as a rotary switch which you can use to change memory, and as you change memory the transceiver immediately changes to the band/frequency/mode/repeater shift etc. that has been programmed into that memory.
In the K3 there's no such thing as memory mode. You're always in VFO mode. You can save frequencies to memory and you can recall frequencies from memory back to the VFO but when you press M>V the first time, the radio stays where it is. You rotate the VFO and the memories change in the display, but the radio still stays where it is. You're just selecting the memory you want. You have to press M>V again before it will actually change to the band/mode stored in the displayed memory. So you can't use the memories to quickly check for activity on a list of different frequencies. This probably isn't something SSB or CW operators want to do. But FM users will, for sure.
To try to overcome this criticism and provide the opportunity to scan a selection of memories Elecraft introduced what they call channel-hopping memories. This smacks of an ugly workaround that is only a small improvement over the standard behaviour. To make a memory a channel-hopping memory you must give up the first of the characters in the alphanumeric tag for each memory and make it an asterisk. The K3 will then scan a block of consecutive memories tagged with an asterisk almost as if you're in memory mode, actually changing the frequency and listening there. You can even rotate the VFO to scan through them manually. But - and here's the killer - it ONLY changes the frequency, not the mode, the repeater shift, the access tone or any other attribute stored in that memory. To fully load the memory into the radio, you still need to press V/M again.
The K3 has the best support of any radio, bar none, for using transverters. You can have up to 10 of them, and the K3 will display the actual VHF or UHF frequency when you are using one. Elecraft has even brought out an internal 10W 2m transverter option. So this is a radio that many people might choose over an IC-746PRO or TS-2000 to use not just on HF, but also to chat on their local 2m simplex and repeater channels. You'll need to buy a crystal filter for FM, which will cost you as much as a budget 2m HT, but you'll get a receiver whose adjacent channel rejection and signal to noise ratio on weak signals is second to none, and certainly better than the aforementioned Icom and Kenwood radios.
But the K3's flawed implementation of memories makes FM operation a nightmare. You program your local repeaters and simplex channels into a block of channel-hopping memories. You then select a repeater and make a call through it, successfully. Then you turn the dial to cycle through the other memories and hear someone calling on a simplex channel. You call, but they won't hear you because you didn't remember to press M>V so you still have the repeater shift on from your previous contact. Or if you hear someone on another repeater and call him, you may have the wrong access tone. The K3's memory implementation is completely unintuitive. Unless Elecraft completely redesigns it to work like other radios, go for the Icom or Kenwood if you plan on doing much FM operation.
The disaster that is the K3's memory implementation suggests a radio that was designed by people with little experience of anything besides HF CW and SSB operation - or indeed experience of how the competition did things. Certain other aspects of the K3 tend to support that suggestion.
The K3 could have been the digital mode operator's dream radio. There is built-in support for encoding and decoding both RTTY and PSK31, though you must send using a Morse paddle rather than a computer keyboard, and the K3's display doesn't provide much space to show the decoded text in a scrolling window. In the DATA mode, the K3 implements a "soft" ALC that lets you set a comfortable audio drive level and then keeps the power output constant across almost the entire range of the audio spectrum. Click the cursor on any signal in the waterfall and just call. No more constantly tweaking the PC mixer slider level to control the power level and keep the drive below ALC to maintain a clean signal. It's PSK heaven!
Like most modern transceivers, the K3 offers both transmit and receive equalization: perfect for voice modes. For sound card digital operation, though, you want a flat audio response with no equalization. Other radios that have both a DATA mode and equalization turn the EQ off when the data mode is selected. Even radios that cost half the price of a K3 can do this. But not the K3. So if you're a keen digimode operator and don't want to have to manually change the EQ settings whenever you switch from phone to data, you'll just have to leave the equalization flat. Elecraft knows this is an annoyance, but apparently it is difficult to change due to the way the firmware has been written. So we're still waiting.
Which brings me back to the point that more than two years after its announcement, and more than 18 months after I first received it, I'm still waiting for some aspects of the K3 to work as expected. Believe it or not there are still advertised features such as synchronous AM detection that have yet to be implemented. I purchased the high stability TCXO option and there is a facility, described in the manual, for you to enter in temperature calibration data to increase its stability. Except it does not exist. It's still to be implemented.
In a nutshell, my verdict on the K3 is: great hardware, shame about the firmware. Two years since its first announcement, it's still a work in progress.

2011-03-23 / Opinion
Guest Editorial: Unions have helped bring equality to America
In Memphis in 1968, black sanitation workers worked in dangerous, inhumane conditions under abusive white supervisors for little pay. After two workers were crushed to death by a malfunctioning city garbage truck, the city's black sanitation workers sought to unionize. They demanded better wages, safer working conditions, and the right to collectively bargain for these things.

- distcc daemon
- The PC or server that's running distcc to distribute the source code. The daemon itself will compile parts of the source code but will also send other parts to the hosts defined in DISTCC_HOSTS.
- distcc server
- The PC or server compiling the source code it gets from the daemon. When it's done compiling, it sends back the object code (i.e. compiled source code) to the daemon, which in turn sends back some more source code (if there's any left to compile).
Getting started
Install the distcc package from [community] on all PCs in the cluster:
# pacman -S distcc
For other distro's or even OS'es including Windows through using Cygwin, refer to the distcc docs.
Both Daemon and Server(s)
Edit Template:Filename and modify the only uncommented line with the correct IP address or range of your daemon or of your entire subnet:
DISTCC_ARGS="--user nobody --allow 192.168.0.0/24"
Edit Template:Filename and add a line to allow distccd traffic:
distccd: 192.168.0.
Daemon Only
Edit Template:Filename in the following three sections:
- BUILDENV has distcc unbanged i.e. without exclamation point.
- Uncomment the DISTCC_HOSTS line and add the IP addresses of the servers (slaves) then a slash and the number of threads they are to use. The subsequent IP address/threads should be separated by a white space. This list is ordered from most powerful to least powerful (processing power).
- Adjust the MAKEFLAGS variable to correspond to the number of sum of the number of individual values specified for the max threads per server. In the example below, this is 5+3+3=11. If users specify more than this sum, the extra theoretical thread(s) will be blocked by distcc and appear as such in monitoring utils such as distccmon-text described below.
Example using relevant lines:
BUILDENV=(distcc fakeroot color !ccache !check) MAKEFLAGS="-j16" DISTCC_HOSTS="192.168.0.2/5 192.168.0.3/3 192.168.0.4/3"
If users wish to use distcc through SSH, add an "@" symbol in front of the IP address in this section. If key-based auth is not setup on the systems, set the DISTCC_SSH variable to ignore checking for authenticated hosts, i.e. DISTCC_SSH="ssh -i"
Start the distcc daemon on every participating machine:
# rc.d start distccd
If having distccd run at boot up, add it to the DAEMONS array in Template:Filename.
Compile via makepkg as normal.
Monitoring Progress
Progress can be monitored via several methods.
- distccmon-text
- tailing log file
Invoke distccmon-text to check on compilation status:
$ distccmon-text 29291 Preprocess probe_64.c 192.168.0.2[0] 30954 Compile apic_noop.c 192.168.0.2[0] 30932 Preprocess kfifo.c 192.168.0.2[0] 30919 Compile blk-core.c 192.168.0.2[1] 30444 Compile block_dev.c 192.168.0.3[1] 30904 Compile compat.c 192.168.0.3[2] 30891 Compile hugetlb.c 192.168.0.3[3] 30458 Compile catalog.c 192.168.0.4[0] 30496 Compile ulpqueue.c 192.168.0.4[2] 30506 Compile alloc.c 192.168.0.4[0]
One can have this program run continuously by using watch or by appending a space followed by integer to the command which corresponds to the number of sec to wait for a repeat query:
$ watch distccmon-text
$ distccmon-text 2
One can also simply tail Template:Filename on daemon:
# tail -f /var/log/messages.log
Cross Compiling with Distcc
Several options exist to cross compile with distcc:
- Installation of alternative toolchains (not covered).
- Compiling inside a chroot (tested with x86_64 --> i686).
Limit HDD/SDD usage
Relocate ~/.distcc
By default, distcc creates a $HOME/.distcc which stores transient relevant info as it serves up work for nodes to compile. Create a directory named .distcc in RAM such as /dev/shm and soft link to it in $HOME. This will avoid needless HDD read/writes and is particularly important for SSDs.
$ mv ~/.distcc /dev/shm $ ln -s ~/.distcc /dev/shm/.distcc
One only needs to have Template:Filename re-create this directory on a reboot (the soft link will remain until it is manually removed like any other file):
su -c "mkdir /dev/shm/.distcc" USERNAME
Adjust log level
By default, distcc will log to Template:Filename as it goes along. One trick (actually recommended in the distccd manpage) is to log to an alternative file directly. Again, one can locate this in RAM via /dev/shm. Another trick is to lower to log level of minimum severity of error that will be included in the log file. Useful if only wanting to see error messages rather than an entry for each connection. LEVEL can be any of the standard syslog levels, and in particular critical, error, warning, notice, info, or debug.
Both of these lines are to be appended to DISTCC_ARGS in Template:Filename
DISTCC_ARGS="--user nobody --allow 192.168.0.0/24 --log-level error --log-file /dev/shm/distccd.log"

Independent Fabrications to Move to New Hampshire
p: Chris McCown
I was reading a great article over at Embrocation just moments ago and it was the first news to me that IF's majority owner Gary Smith has decided to leave their native land of Sommerville, MA and head a few hours north to somewhere in the Portsmouth Area.
Good ole' NH. Home of our friends at Bailey Works, legal fireworks, and zero percent sales tax. But what does this move mean for IF. Well for one, the last of the originals, LLoyd Graves, as well as key marketing and artistic mind Tyler Evans. However as much as change can frighten a lot of people, the work that IF has been producing over the last few years notably has been some of their best yet, and by upgrading facilities the prospect of more beautiful bicycles being built excites me.
While as a Bostonian, I did take a certain amount of pride in having such a great company right in my backyard, I can't wait to see what IF will be doing in 2011. And with so many great up and coming builders (Geekhouse, Icarus, and Royal H. to name a few) in the area there will be no shortage of beauties coming out of the Commonwealth.
We'd love to hear what you think about the big move, so don't be shy with the comments.
Read a great article to emphasize my point over at Embrocation Cycling Journal.

What was I thinking? Catch a 9AM flight to Cleveland on the Sunday right when Daylight Savings starts? Yup, that's what I did. Got up at 5AM (which was 4AM to my brain and body) and got myself (eventually) to the airport. Thought I'd have a window seat. Oops, that once in a blue moon upgrade to 1st class. Not bad, I can sleep on the plane. Oops, turbulence.
Plane lands. Good thing. Cab it to an afternoon Spring Winery Showcase with 55 Degrees Wine Company. That's right, working it on a Sunday, along with some new Italian friends and in a beautiful room with some of the best Classic Rock I've heard in a long time ( The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was just down the street).
This has been a long-ass day – so y'all get the slide show. Good news is we all love what we do, exposing more people to Italian wine. So have a good luck, see if you recognize anyone. I'll be in Ohio this week doing this over and over again. Monday in Columbus. Tuesday in Cincinnati. Come see us. Good times.

This undated file photo shows outlaws and lovers Bonnie Parker (left) and Clyde Barrow. The duo, know as Bonnie and Clyde, robbed and murdered in the United States for two years until they were shot dead at a police road-block in Louisiana in 1934. Guns and other items connected to the couple were auctioned on Sept. 30 by RR Auction of Amherst, N.H.
Two guns, Bonnie Parker's .38-caliber Detective Special that she had taped to her thigh when she was killed and Clyde Barrow's 1911 Colt .45-caliber automatic, sold for $504,000 at the auction. The guns were two of 134 artifacts that belonged to other notorious criminals -- including Al Capone, Pretty Boy Floyd and John Dillinger -- as well as the law enforcement officials that tracked down and killed Bonnie and Clyde in Louisiana. The artifacts sold for a total of $1.1 million

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Despite tallying more shots (15-10) and penalty corners (10-2) than host Lasell College, MIT fell to the Lasers, 1-0, in non-conference field hockey action on Tuesday night. The loss dropped the Engineers' record to 1-3 on the season.
Following a scoreless first half, Lasell (1-3) recorded the game's lone goal after 9:37 had elapsed. Alexa Herman collected five saves in net for Tech as the Lasers goalie made 11 stops.

Sure, the Internet has been abuzz about the 1895 Hildebrand and Wolfmuller steam-engine derived, gas-powered motorcycle that is the featured bike in Bonhams' Las Vegas Motorcycle Sale coming up this Thursday. But it is worth your while to check out the rest of the motorcycles being offered at this sale too, some of them almost as rare and maybe as obscure to those who can't get enough motorcycle history. In addition to the post-war Cushmans and Whizzers and modern Ducatis, Harleys and BMWs, Bonhams is offering some other scoots whose names you may not recognize.
A small sampling of interesting rare bikes from their catalog:
- 1935 Rudge 250cc Sports
- 1957 Moto Parilla 175cc
- 1958 Mondial 200 Comfort
- 1964 Greeves 250cc trials bike
- Cyclemotor's 1921 Evans Power Cycle
- 1947 Scott Flying Squirrel
- 1919 GCS 750cc (thought to be the sole surviving) from Australia

- 1921 New Imperial 250cc ( Isle of Man TT winner)
- 1911 Curtis Marvell 500cc

Several Indian board track racers and "camelback" singles are also listed.

You can view all 239 lots online at the Bonhams and Butterfields website www.bonhams.com/us/home/

I got a virus the other day, not completely sure where from. Norton seemed to have dealt with it so I didn't think much more of it. A couple days later there were two more viruses. One of them is called something along the lines of xy.exe and the other is Bloodhound.W32.EP . I've done a bit of research about the bloodhound one and know that it's a Symantec thing that detects algorithms it thinks might be a virus but isn't necessarily. If this was the case, I wouldn't be that worried but the Norton warning is popping up at a very annoying rate and somtimes won't go away at all. It always says that it could not access the file or no action was taken. Also, my background image has been changed to an html file warning me of security breach. Another thing that seems to be related is that the spyware program PSGuard has stealth installed itself on my computer. I've tried system restoring to about 15 earlier dates and none of them restore successfully. I'd like to get rid of this problem preferably without having to wipe my hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I attached a picture of the background thingy and a picture of the icon from the PSGuard program.

Quick View Changes in Word
It seems that everyone has a preference for the way they view their MS Word documents.
Some people prefer the Normal View, some prefer the Page/Print Layout View.
Whatever your preference, it's always a good thing to know how to get to a different view. Sometimes you're trying to accomplish a task that lends itself to a view different from your usual way of seeing things.
I'd bet most of you know that you can change views using the View menu.
In fact, your choices are the first items on the menu. Can't miss 'em.
But, what if we could change views with a quicker click?
You may not have realized it, but there are buttons for your view choices right on the screen the whole time you're working.
Take a look at the horizontal scroll bar across the bottom of your document.
Follow it all the way to the left.
See them?
On the very left, you've got four buttons, which are also known as the view buttons.
You can just do a "quick click" to switch from one view to another, no menu required!
