The teenager's mom, Mistie Frazier, says they don't normally leave the wheelchair out on their porch, but thought it would be okay until this morning when Austin went to use it for school, it was no where to be found.
Mistie says her son, Austin, an 18-year-old that attends North High School, can walk some of the time with crutches, but has Spinabifida is paralyzed from the knees down.
He uses his wheelchair to get around school. For school on Wednesday, the school lent him their emergency one.
Mistie was very worried about getting a new wheelchair since she says you are only eligible for a new one every five years.
Austin's wheelchair is specifically made for his needs and his size, and cost about $1,000.
"I kind of let things roll, but in reality talking about it, it's just wrong for somebody to do something like that and it upsets me that there are people out there that would do stuff like that," Misty said.
Police say the wheelchair was found abandoned. No one is being charged at this time.

On behalf of all of our coaches, the California High School Athletic Department would like to thank ALL of our parents and community members for their generous donations to our programs. Your continued support is truly appreciated...Go GRIZZ!
EBAL Admission Changes 2013-14
The EBAL has adopted a new policy as to what sports will be charged admission, and their costs.
Each school has determined what sports they will charge for, here is what was decided for this school year:
All schools
Girls Volleyball
Amador Valley
Boys & Girls Basketball
All schools
Amador Valley
Boys Volleyball
Amador Valley
*Sports that have EBAL Championship events will still charge admission.
The SRVUSD has decided to unify what sports they will charge for: Football & Basketball.
$8 Adult (& children without an adult)
$5 Student & Senior Citizens (HOME students w/ Student Body sticker)
$5 Children (under 12 w/ an adult)
*$5 for Frosh ONLY football games, and all sports other than football and basketball.
High School athletics in the San Ramon Valley Unified School district are "self-funded." We cannot run the programs without your support. High Schools do not receive district (tax dollar) funds for equipment, uniforms, transportation, and most coaching stipends. As such, voluntary donations are solicited to fund these valuable programs. Without your generous donations sports at California High School cannot be offered. High school sports cost much less than outside club sports. Please keep them afloat and ongoing with your donation.
Voluntary Donations (defined)
Voluntary donations are needed to help alleviate our coaching staff from necessary administrative duties that the Athletic Department performs, and allows coaches to focus on our student-athletes.
These donations cover major operating costs of our athletic budget which includes: officials, equipment, possible athletic trainers, supervision/security, facility, first aid supplies, CIF, NCS & League fees and various general expenses to operate our athletic department budget.. The suggested donation will be detailed in a specific sport budget presented to parents at an orientation meeting after teams have been finalized.
Eligibility: It is a privilege, not a right, to participate in any extra-curricular activity. To be eligible to tryout for any sport, SRVUSD mandates that all athletes have a 2.0 GPA or higher based on their last quarter's grades. A 2.0 GPA or higher must be maintained throughout the season or the athlete will become ineligible to participate.
Go GRIZZ!

As a legal immigrant, I´m not impressed with having to pay taxes, but being unable to vote.I need to list all trips out of the USA longer than 48 hrs in order to get my citizenship. When I ask at the border to see my records, I´m told that I have to make a Freedom of Information request, as I´m not allowed to see that information. How broken is the system??? Pretty broken.

I remember, over a decade ago, late-night talk radio host remarried. He spoke on-air about the incompetence at the LA immigration office. That he had filed the proper paperwork numerous times, he sent some in with a Return Receipt, and they "lost" it again, so he drove to the office and hand-delivered the forms and watched the clerk date stamp he forms.They "lost" that set of forms, and deported his wife "because the forms had not been filed in time" so he quit his job and moved to the Philippines to be with his wife.

Polymer Clay Graphics Picture Frame
Material List
- Black Sculpey III Clay, 3 Blocks
- Clay Extruder (with medium round hole disk)
- Pasta Machine and /or Acrylic Roller
- Wooden Frame (for 4x6-inch photo)
- Pearl Ex Powders: Spring Green, True Blue and Antique Copper
- Black Acrylic Paint
- Crafter's Pick Super Tacky Glue
- Small Foam Brush
- Small Paint Brush
- Craft Blade
- Needle Tool or Toothpick
- Baking Sheet
- Oven
Project Instructions
Step: 1
Spread a light coat of the white glue on a section the frame.
Step: 2
Condition and roll several sheets of the Black clay on the thickest (#1) setting of a pasta machine. You may also condition by hands. Knead and squeeze small amount s of clay to a smooth soft consistency. Using an acrylic roller or the pasta machine create a thin sheet of the clay.
Step: 3
Lay a sheet of clay on the glue-covered section press into place lightly. Flip the frame over and trim the clay leaving a border of clay about 1/8-inch. Wrap to the clay to cover the outside edge of the frame, but not the inner edge.
Step: 4
Repeat steps 1 and 2, butting the sheets of clay up next to each other until the entire frame is covered. Don't worry about smoothing the seams since they will be covered.
Step: 5
Load the extruder with remaining conditioned Black clay and place the medium sized round hole disk into place. Extrude the clay about 16 inches at a time, or as you need the length to make it easier. It may help to turn the extruder over so that the plunger is against a firm surface and press down while grasping the barrel of the extruder.
Step: 6
To make a coil, gently roll up starting at one end of the strand of clay and when you have about 3 wraps, set it on your work-surface and keep coiling until you have the size you wish to start with. Keep about 2 inches of "tail" on the coil to help create the waving graphic effect.
Step: 7
Gently slide a sheet of paper or the flat of your craft blade under the coil to pick it up and move it to the frame. Press into place on the frame and arrange the "tail".
Step: 8
Add more pieces of the extruded clay around the design. To add a piece into a small area like the junction of the coil and the "tail", use your craft blade to cut an angle in the end of the clay to fit the shape. Use the blade to carefully cut the end of the piece to fit also.
Step: 9
You can elect to bring the clay coils to the edge of the front of the frame or bring the designs down around the edges of the frame also.
Step: 10
Continue to add pieces to the design until all sections of this area are filled. Press the strands of clay into place by laying a piece of clean index card on top of the area and pressing lightly. Once the area around the coil is filled, create a new coil and add it above this section and begin again.
Step: 11
You can use a pointed tool like a toothpick or needle tool to randomly add texture to a strand of clay if you wish.
Step: 12
When the frame has the completed design, make another small pattern of design on a sheet of paper to "test" the chosen combination of Pearl Ex colors. When you're satisfied with the color combination and you've practiced the application on the test piece begin applying the Pearl Ex to the frame. Rub your finger on the inside of the lid to pick up just the right amount of powder and then lightly rub it onto the clay. Begin with the Spring Green, the lightest color, for the coils, and then add the True Blue and finally a touch here and there of the Antique Copper as a complimentary accent. Use caution so that you don't have too much powder on your finger. Rub the index finger against your thumb to remove excess powder before touching the clay.
Step: 13
Once the frame is covered in Pearl Ex, it is ready to bake. Place the decorated frame onto the baking sheet and bake the frame according to the clay package directions. Allow it to cool and use a small brush and black acrylic paint to paint the inside edge of the wood black thus making it blend with the clay.

Kent State actually drew first blood against Roth in the second inning when George Roberts led off with a single, T.J. Sutton chopped out to third base and Sawyer Polen poked a base hit into left field that sent Roberts scurrying home.
Roth extinguished the threat when he got Nick Hamilton to roll into a 6-4-3 double play, the first of those 22 consecutive outs.
"Once we scored, it's almost like we made him mad we scored that run in the second inning and he said 'That's not happening anymore,' " Flashes coach Scott Stricklin said. "He was outstanding."
The fact that Roth was on the mound at all was a bit of a surprise and a benefit of the game being rained out on Wednesday.
Tanner had announced Jordan Montgomery as the starter vs. Kent State – he'll be on the mound vs. Arkansas instead. But when rain persisted Wednesday, and when Tanner spoke to Roth about pitching Thursday's first game, the decision was easy.
"He got an extra day's rest because of the rain, and you go," Tanner said. " He's going to give us a chance.
"The only question I had was not if he's going to pitch, if he's 100%, and that's the only thing I asked him. He said I'm 100%, and I said that's good enough for me. Let's try to get back in this thing."
They're back.
Once Roth got honed in, the South Carolina offense kicked into gear just long enough to give him plenty of support.
With one out in the Gamecocks' second inning, Adam Matthews dumped a base hit to right field and Kyle Martin jabbed a single through the middle.
Kent State pitcher Tyler Skulina recorded one of his nine strikeouts for the second out, but Grayson Greiner hammered a ball to the left side of the infield that Polen dove for but it caromed off his glove. Matthews motored around third base and beat the throw to the plate for the Gamecocks' first run and a tie game.
Chase Vergason extended the lead when he rammed a base hit to right field to give USC and Roth the lead, 2-1.
That would've been plenty, but the Gamecocks' two biggest run producers combined to give Roth a little more breathing room the next inning.
With two outs, Christian Walker pumped a double to right-center field and Dantzler followed with a two-run bomb into the right-field bullpen.
From there, Roth barely blinked the rest of the game.
Mixing his pitches well and getting weak contact when Kent State's hitter connected, Roth was masterful. He logged seven of his eight strikeouts after the Flashes scored their run and had them swinging at his pitches.
Kent State didn't leave a runner on base in nine innings, mainly because the only two who reached were the two base hits in the second inning – one who scored, one who was erased on a double play.
"I was able to hit the strike zone with pretty much every pitch I threw," Roth said after improving his three-year CWS record to 4-0 and his four-year NCAA Tournament mark to 8-0. "That helped me a lot. I didn't have any walks (Thursday), which when there are base runners and you can stay on that roll, that I haven't really been able to get into this season much. So, it was nice to be able to throw everything for strikes.
"You just try to go out there and keep filling it up. It can always switch on you. At the drop of a hat, you can walk a guy or have a bloop or something like that. And next thing you know you've got men on first and second."
The Flashes never got that next thing after the second inning.
Stricklin said he wasn't surprised to see Roth listed as the starter once Wednesday's rainout became official and said he understood Tanner's thinking.
"That they really wanted to win," Stricklin said. "Nothing against Montgomery, he's very good. But you could argue Michael Roth is the best pitcher in the country. He's 8 1, and spent three years in the College World Series. I talked to Coach Tanner before the game and, you know, Roth was campaigning to pitch last night.
"That's what you want out of your senior and your best guy. He wanted the ball. He wanted to be on the mound. And I don't blame Coach Tanner one bit. When your senior says give me the ball, you've got to give it to him."
Roth got it and he was as good as he's ever been.

I expected a flimsy chipboard version, but being an OZ fan and loving the Graphic 45 paper - of which I have a lot left - I decided to order this. NOT flimsy at all, and a larger size than I expected. This is a great album!!

I worked at TxDOT full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Benefits are provided, a professional attitude.
Cons – Sometimes a hard won position can be negated by computer upgrades and you could be sent into a Quota-mad work section.
Advice to Senior Management – As long as management continues to work with quotas, quality will ALWAYS suffer, and the efforts of safety-minded data will be tainted.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at TxDOT as an intern for less than a year
Pros – You will never get laid off
Little to to pressure, ever
Cons – Minimal pay in engineering, minimal
I have been working at TxDOT full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Working with the public to help them get answers to their questions and action for their needs when something needs attention on the 80,000 miles of roads maintained.
Cons – A great deal of favoritism and cronyism exists while favorites are recognized and advanced and concern for other employees is practically nonexistent.
Advice to Senior Management – Cultivate equality of pay for equal work among employees and to encourage supervisors to be more fair and even-handed.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I worked at TxDOT full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – They do have good health benefit, sick leave, and vacation leave days.
Cons – If you are not an engineer, part of the "good ol' boys or GIRLS club, or related (PROTECTED) by a person in an upper position, you can forget about moving up. TxDOT has the mentality that being an engineer means you can also MANAGE people which is obviously (go ahead and ask any younger to middle-aged NON-engineer and ask them if that's true) not reality.
Advice to Senior Management – They wouldn't listen anyway.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at TxDOT
Pros – TxDOT offers a good benefits package, ample vacation/sick time, and a stable job where you could feasibly work for the rest of your working life.
Cons – TxDOT, even though a PUBLIC sector company, fancies itself an engineering firm. This having been said, if you are not following an educational civil engineering path you can all but forget about career advancement. Important areas such as IT, accounting, and Business Admin. are secondary and even tertiary to engineering. Also, performance takes a backseat to preference when it comes to fair performance evaluations. If you ask questions be prepared to one day take a knife out of your back.
Advice to Senior Management – There is a reason TxDOT is getting such a bad rap and it's not because of the regular employees. Retirees are leaving in record amounts. My advice is just because you have a title does not mean you are ENTITLED. Just like the independent audit stated recently "start rewarding the performers and stop ignoring the problem makers". If, in fact, we are supposed to provide topnotch service to the public, such service needs to start in-house.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at TxDOT
Pros – Excellent training opportunities, decent benefits, opportunities for high-profile and challenging projects, opportunity to gain relevent experience that allows one to become marketable
Cons – Incompetent senior management and bad public relations leads to extremely poor employee morale. Uncertainity as to the future direction regarding size and scope of the organization.
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to all employees and learn about complexity of issues that employyes are dealing with

Hi guys
Any suggestions on what might be up with my phone?
I've QuickPwnd to 2.2, everything seemed to go fine.
Today, I press the phone button, the keypad appears but the green button doesnt have a logo, there is no text on the dock icons, it pauses and immediately returns to the homescreen - meaning I cannot call anyone.
If the best thing to do is to try again, do I just restore using Itunes now, or do I redo the whole quickpwn process ?

NewsPress Release: 11/17/00Marlboro Women's Chorus Presents "Synesthesia"
Marlboro Women's Chorus leader
Julia Catherine Slone harmonizes
with a Vermont fall day.
MARLBORO, VT - Fifteen women from Marlboro College bring the Marlboro Women's Chorus and their fall performance "Synesthesia" to the Whittemore Theatre at Marlboro College on Monday, December 4, and to St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Brattleboro on Tuesday, December 5. Both concerts are at 7 p.m. The program includes songs from Quebec and Georgia, original arrangements of contemporary folk tunes, as well as original music and harmony improvisation.
"Synesthesia," explains chorus leader Julia Catherine Slone, "is a sound that's so powerful it makes you see color." Slone, a junior at Marlboro, has been organizing small groups of women since she first came to the college. The Women's Chorus is something that Vermont needs as the days grow short, explains Slone Í "more music and more variety."
According to Slone, the chorus, made up of both Marlboro College alumni and students, "pushes the envelopes of harmony of sound. We communicate through those harmonies with each other and with our audience." She adds, with a welcoming smile, "We invite the audience into our sound."
Both the Marlboro College performance and the St. Michael's performance are free and open to the public. St. Michael's Episcopal Church is located at the corner of Putney Road and Bradley Street in Brattleboro. For more information please call (802) 257-4333.

My boyfriend & I are doing spark together. We love pizza, especially stuffed crust but I couldn't bear eating all those calories for one slice at pizza hut. So, we decided to make our own. We were so surprised how low in calories it is per slice that we will definitely make this one of our regular meals. Everything we used is pretty easy to find but if you're having trouble finding the dough, check shoprite in the cheese section.

The Shorter Poems
Edmund Spenser - Author
While The Faerie Queene counts as his masterpiece, it is in his shorter poetry that Edmund Spenser (c. 1552-99) showed his supreme versatility and skill as eulogist, satirist, pastoral poet and prophet. The Shepheardes Calender marks a turning point in literary history, as the anonymous author confidently asserts his faith in the native vigour of the English language and stakes his claim to be the successor of Virgil and Chaucer. The Amoretti and Fowre Hymnes reveal an acute sense of how erotic and even religious love are shot through with vanity and narcissism. Mother Hubberds Tale - an Elizabethan Animal Farm - savagely satirizes the sexual jealousy and political disarray at the heart of the Queen's court. And even the Epithalamion, a rare celebration of consummated desire, is offset by far darker echoes. This new Penguin Enlish Poets edition contains all Spenser's English poetry apart from The Faerie Queene, as well as his Latin verse (together with a full translation). Detailed notes illuminate his many allusions to biblical, classical and contemporary literature.

Trying to live with creativity without letting it take over the stubborn bleakness of reality is an ironic twist to the dismissal I showed it 14 long years ago. Doubly ironic in that it's a source of creativity in itself.
Here we have our rifts - too far apart and we lose sight, forget, we get lost, or fall into the dividing, expanding black. Too close together and we can clash, disfigure ourselves in a futile attempt to conjoin these twins at the hip.

Chetan Bhagat's books are like a Salman Khan film — 'blockbuster' written all over them. Has he delivered with 'What Young India Wants'?
Chetan Bhagat's books are like a Salman Khan blockbuster; you can park your brains in cold storage, just sit back and enjoy the ride. So far, he has been hugely successful. He has sold five million copies with his five works of fiction.
So why does Bhagat decide to step away from his comfort zone and take a stab at making people think? 'What Young India Wants' (WYIW) is the first attempt at non-fiction by the former investment banker turned writer, and is a stroll into unchartered territory for Bhagat. His brand of fiction might be found wanting in terms of literary value, but they have always passed muster with the masses. WYIW is a compilation of his newspaper columns and public talks, where he makes a brave effort, to interpret the dreams and aspirations of millions of young Indians.

It seems as though, recently, fighting games are making a major resurgence on the gaming scene. Games like Street Fighter IV, BlazBlue, and Tatsunoko versus Capcom are bring the genre back to the forefront of gaming. The fighting genre was absolutely HUGE during the 1990's when Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter ruled the arcades and consoles alike; the games were meant to be enjoyed in the arcade. There is just no better way to play a fighting game than with a nice, quality arcade joystick and button combination in front of you. If you want to be a major competitor in any of these games, you are going to need the equipment necessary to play like one.
There are many options out there for anyone who wishes to take their fighting games to the next level. Mad Catz in particular is a company who has been making this controller option accessible to consumers though it often comes at a hefty price. This is in no way meant to disparage the products that are produced by companies like Mad Catz, it is just that the expense of those sticks can often create a barrier that prevents gamers from getting the tools that they desire. If you fall into this category where you would love to have a quality arcade stick for use on your home console but cannot or are not willing to invest as much money as they ask for them in stores, it is my hope that this guide can help you achieve that goal. Let me state, up front, that neither myself nor Gaming Nexus is not responsible for any damage done to any controllers or products that you buy in an attempt to build your own stick. Dismantling and altering these products will void your warranties and nullify any claims that you may have on the performance of said products. Proceed at your own risk.
If you are still here, let's get down to business. The truth of the matter is that you can build your own, high quality arcade controller for merely a fraction of the price as those offered in stores. As long as you know what you need and some basic soldering skills, then you can have your own competition level stick in no time. In this tutorial, we are going to create an arcade joystick for use on the Xbox 360. This stick will also function on the PC.
Part 1: Gathering your materials
The first thing that you need to do is to gather your materials. You will need, minimally, the following items:
Third Party controller
- I recommend using a 3rd party for two reasons: cost and simplicity. The cost of unofficial controllers is generally a lot cheaper than the first party offerings. The simplicity of their PCB boards is often night and day from the official controllers as well, making your task a ton easier in the long run. The first party controllers are often laid out slightly differently in the manner that the generally share ground connections between the buttons, making soldering and wiring for their boards more complicated than the simplified boards of third party controllers. In my project, I used a Mad Catz 360 Arcade Gamestick. These particularly controllers have hit the clearance bins of many stores; I know that Fry's for example sells them for $4.99 if you can find them in stock. Most of Mad Catz's controllers use similar boards though, so you will do fine with any of their controllers. You can also check Gamestop as they had Gamestop branded controllers for about $20 used or $25 new. This is potentially the most expensive single part for the project, so shop around and find yourself a good deal.
- I used and recommend using the Happs Competition joystick, mainly because I prefer the physical feel of their products. The general consensus online is that the Japanese, Sanwa parts are superior, but this is the brand that I have come to know and love. This particular joystick can be purchased for $13.95 directly from
. Another site,
Lizard Lick Amusements
sells the exact same joystick for $7.95, which is a great deal but I have never dealt with them personally. There are other joysticks out there to use, some cheaper and others more expensive but this is a custom job, so get one that you like.
- If you are going to wire the entire 360 controller, meaning all buttons and the d-pad (no need for the analog sticks), then you will have to wire 11 pushbuttons in total (A, B, X, Y, L, R, LB, RB, Start, Back, and Guide). For this stick in particular, I was very shortsighted and only wired 8 buttons, leaving out the L, R and the Back buttons. When I get around to finalizing the case, I will be adding these buttons but it will not take much additional work. I went with Happ's competition grade parts for my pushbuttons, which sell for about $2.20 a piece; they do offer discount for bulk orders of 25 or more on the buttons, so that is an option if you are trying to cut costs and are considering building more than one joystick. There are various styles of pushbuttons available too, which I plan on utilizing in my final design Things like the traditional "Player 1" start buttons and such are purely cosmetic and don't effect the performance of the final product. As a word of advice, when you order your pushbuttons, make sure that they come with all required components to hook them up, namely the necessary cherry switches; both Happs and Lizard Lick include all of the necessary parts.
Soldering iron
- Soldering irons can be purchased fairly cheaply at stores like Radio Shack. I don't care much for the expensive, digital soldering irons, just give me the plain old simple iron. Radio Shack has a nice beginner's soldering set for about $8, which includes the iron, solder, holder, and a few small tools to help. This particular kit will more than suit the needs for this project.
- While you are at Radio Shack, grab a spool of small wire; if you don't want to drop the coin to buy some, then just splice open a phone cord and use the individual wires from inside (yeah, I can be frugal). It will also serve your best interests to try and get solid wire rather than threaded wire; I used threaded and it turned out okay, but I got tired of dealing with stray connections in the long run. Make it easy on yourself and try to get solid wire.
- Your iron will more than likely come with a stock of solder, if not, get some as they are only a couple of dollars.
Hot Glue Gun
- In this project in particular, I found hot glue to be the ultimate compliment to solder. Coating your connections in hot glue after ensuring a clean, soldered connection can ensure your connections stay in place and do not interfere with one another.
- The actually building of a case for the joystick could be another tutorial in itself. For my purposes, and since I was just trying this for the first time and wanted to create more of a test box, I simply used a cardboard banker's box. This is another thing that would purely be up to you and your tastes. In the end, before you start battling fierce competition, you will want to build a solid casing for your controller. The banker's box that I used did not hold up well to prolonged usage
Various small tools
- You will want to keep the typical reference tools around like screwdrivers; there will be need form some small things throughout the project.
Part 2: Let's crack open that controller
This is where the screwdriver will come in handy. You will need to remove the casing from the controller and remove the PCB board from the inside. Please, please, please take your time with this. You do not want to scratch or damage the PCB board as that could impair the functionality of the controller. This is not hard a hard process, but at can be tricky because depending on the controller that you use there may be different types of screws use and many of the buttons on the controller may inhibit the ability to remove portions of the casing. Take your time and everything will eventually come apart. Eventually, once everything is stripped away, you should have a bare PCB board with all of the required connections clearly visible. Once it is in your possession, set it aside and keep it safe until we get to the soldering portion.
Part 3: Mounting the joystick and pushbuttons
This could vary depending on how nice of a case that you decide to utilize. Using the cardboard banker's box was quick and easy and ultimately the perfect option for my first attempt. Assuming that you go with a more secure and permanent casing, this could take longer to prepare. It is completely up to you to decide what you want to use.
Once you know what you are going to use, you will need to decide on the sort of button layout that you will want to use. There are tons of options in this department, depending on how many buttons you want to use and what your layout preference may be. The two main layouts that you will see available across the Internet are the standard American SF layout, which involves 6 (or 8) buttons laid out perfectly straight in horizontal fashion and the Japanese SF layout. The Japanese layout involves buttons that are placed in an arc fashion which matches the natural lay of your fingers. When I built my, I decided to go with the second layout which is the traditional Japanese SF setup. It really is just a matter of personal preference and I prefer the natural feel of the Japanese layout.
You can use various templates from online sites to get a standard spacing scheme for your buttons, but I prefer to lay them out myself and cater the design to the layout of my hands. When I laid out the buttons, I used a washable marker and colored the tips of my fingers. I then let my hand lay naturally on the surface where my buttons would be and let the natural position of my fingers dictate the spacing that I was going to use for the pushbuttons. In the end, the final result just felt better to me personally.
Once the layout is marked, simply cut the holes for each of your buttons and the joystick. The joystick will more than likely come with the paper template to utilize in cutting the space out on your actual case. It will likely require 4 or more screws to secure it in position. The pushbuttons on the other hand simply slide into position from the top and have a button that you will screw onto it from the bottom, securing them in place.
Part 4: Solder the connections on the PCB
This part requires some soldering experience, though it can be done with minimal experience as I had. If you are not comfortable using the soldering gun, do not be afraid to practice ahead of time in order to ensure a steady hand and quality connections. It is also very easy to completely ruin your PCB by melting something that you should not, so get comfortable before doing the actual work. The connections on the PCB are usually pretty obvious in their layout as they look exactly like the controller itself. There will be two wires per button which will be your ground and your actual connection. Take your time and make sure to make good, solid connections and avoid bridging two or more separate connections. Solder will conduct a signal, so you do not want it "leaking" towards other contact points.
Decide if you want to do straight, solid connections between the PCB and the controller, or if you want to wire the control board and buttons separately and then connect them at a later time. I went with the second option since it gave me more room to work with in the long run. When I move to the final casing though, I intend on using one straight connection just for the sake of creating a higher quality connection. Just make sure that you give yourself some length if you are going to use one wire as it will help eliminate the stress of pulling on your soldering points.
For the purposes of this project, I found it best to simply heavily "tin" your wires ahead of time. What this means is that you will melt and place a heavy coating of solder on the connecting tip of your wire before you even go near the board. After this is done, it will be very easy to simply make your connection on the board and add a little heat, melting the existing solder on your wire and allowing it to connect to the board.
Once you have all of your wires tinned, you can proceed to actually soldering them to the actual PCB board. As I stated previously, each button will have to wires connected to it; it doesn't matter which one will be used for the ground, do not worry about that, just ensure that you have clean, solid connections and that you use the same wire for the ground on the other end. After you have soldered the connections, you can test them by plugging the controller into your system or into your PC, and then touching the other end of the wires together for a particular button. If you have done it correctly, closing the bridge between the two wires should trigger the button and the system should recognize and register the button press.
You will do this for each of the following connections on your PCB board:
A, B, X, Y, Back, Guide, Start, L, R, LB, RB, d-pad UP, d-pad DOWN, d-pad LEFT, and d-pad RIGHT.
In the end, there will be a lot of wires. You may want to consider using small stickers, or perhaps using different colored wires to keep things organized in the long run. I did not do this originally and it turned into a nightmare in the end. Eventually I just grabbed some sticky notes and labeled them for the time being which worked out well. Once you have them all soldered and tested, it is time to put some hot glue over the connection points. Hot glue does not conduct a signal and it keeps your connections secure. Failing to do so will result in you pulling a connection free at some point in time, so it is better the handle it now than later.
Part 5: Wire your buttons
Now, this will be the same whether you are using a different set of wires which you will connect to the corresponding wires that run from the PCB board or you will be running the wires directly from the board to your buttons. Connecting the buttons is actually rather simple. The Happ's brand controllers use a series of what are called "Cherry Switches". These are simple, little relays that will be the functioning part of your buttons that actually make the connection to signal the actions. Each button has its own Cherry Switch and the joystick uses four, one for each direction.
Each Cherry Switch has three connection points, one on the bottom which is the Common Terminal, also known as your ground, and two coming out of the side which are labeled as NC (normally closed) and NO (normally open). They should be labeled though it may be hard to see and / or read; the connection closest to the ground is the NO terminal. For our purposes, we will only be using the Common (ground) and NO terminals.
As I stated earlier, it does not matter which wire goes where, just as long as you are using the same two wires for a particular button. If not, you will drive yourself nuts troubleshooting the issue and retracing your wires. This is another reason that I went with the two wires which I would connect together in the end route; it made it easier to ensure that I was using the correct connections. Once the Cherry Switches are connected to the PCB board, you can test them before you seat them into the button casings. As long as the testing worked following the soldering, this should be a no-brainer process.
Now, it is very important to note which Cherry Switch is which when you wire the joystick. Take a second and look at how the joystick actually works. When you press the joystick in the down direction, it actually triggers the Cherry Switch that is in the up position, and the same for left and right; pressing left triggers the right one and vice versa. I found it beneficial to take a small Sharpie and label the joystick Cherry Switches accordingly. I pressed Left on the actually joystick and then wrote an L on the Cherry Switch that it triggered… and then did the same with each direction. Once I did that, it was as simple as connecting the wires from d-pad LEFT to the Cherry Switch labeled accordingly.
Part 6: Secure your case
Hopefully, assuming that everything went smoothly for you, that should really be all that you have to do. Once you have
everything connects and shored up, simply secure everything in position in your case, plug it in, and have a ball.
Part 7: Enjoy
There you go, your own arcade joystick that now function on your home console. Please feel free to
me with questions. I will be more than happy to help and or point you in the direction of resources to help you create your own stick.

Highly recommend these bad boys! Fantastic for the days you don't wear a tie! Don't budge at all and very easy to keep track of due to the strong magnetic current.
Wonder how many other colors these cone in. I had purchased a 3 month subscription for my husband last year but the $20 monthly fee was a bit too steep. Saw these over my friend's house and fell in love. Will definitely purchase a few for gifts.
I am a sucker for the finer things in life, so it goes w/o saying that I'm more the "Dress up" than "Dress down" type; long story short, these are righteously cool suiting accessories. Both distinctive, and an excellent convo starter
these aren't too bad, but i don't think that they have the best hold in the world. i would much rather have metal cuff links than these.
Solid choice for a more relaxed occasion. Easy to change in and out, while also allowing you to have some fun with color and texture. You just want to make sure the colors you have are working with your entire outfit. Overall, good product that keeps your French cuff looking hip and modern.
I don't typically wear cufflinks but for the few occasions I do these are a welcome sway from my norm. Stylish and they bring some attention and people have asked me about them.
These cufflinks work nicely and serve as a good conversation piece. My wife is very fond of them, so it is a win win.
My BF loves these little guys. He wears them to work all the time. The color is great and they're quite trendy.
The red cuffs I got were very modern looking. I wore them and got a few comliments, and a few looks. I may order some of the more neutral ones.
Mine were bright red, not my idea of a good color for cuff links. I am not a cuff link wearer, so those made it into the trash. But they seemed to be well made, and a great gift for someone who likes cuff links.

6 big unanswered questions in the Bloomberg spying caseMay 14, 2013: 10:49 AM ET
Bloomberg scandal may cause "grey dotting" on Wall Street to go mainstream.
FORTUNE -- There's a new name for Bloomberg on Wall Street: Big Brother.
Bloomberg CEO Dan Doctoroff and editor-in-chief Matt Winkler rushed out responses over the weekend and early Monday morning to the spying scandal at the media empire. But after a weekend and a day of media probes into how much client spying was tolerated by reporters at Bloomberg, there were still a number of unanswered questions. Here's a run-down of some the obvious, burning questions that we still haven't gotten to the bottom of in the Bloomberg client bamboozle:
Will Bloomberg rethink its privacy policies?
If you work on Wall Street and you are a privacy nut, which you know you are because, you know, you work on Wall Street, it turns out there's way more personal information on the Bloomberg machine than you would want. For instance, around 2 p.m. on Monday afternoon, legendary hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller was on his Bloomberg terminal. His e-mail is displayed for all other users to see, and, according to Bloomberg, he goes by Stan.
MORE: Private equity firms concerned about Bloomberg 'snoop'
Michael Corbat, the CEO of Citigroup (C), was not on his Bloomberg. But Bank of America (BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan was, though he hadn't touched a key for the past 15 minutes. Jefferies CEO Richard Handler was on his Bloomberg and typing away.
Among hedge fund managers, David Einhorn was in, but Dan Loeb was out, at least as far as their terminals were concerned. Bill Ackman was in his office, it seemed, but had stepped away from his Bloomberg. When I started looking, Leon Cooperman was logged on, but not using his machine. By 2:30, he was surfing his Bloomberg again.
Tim Wildenberg, who is the head of electronic trading for Citigroup in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, was not logged into his terminal, but he was using a Bloomberg mobile application at the time, probably because in London, where he works, it was after-hours.
And you can search by firm or types of people. At private equity firm Blackstone (BX), well known strategist Byron Wein and financier Bennett Goodman were in. Jonathan Gray, who heads up the firm's real estate division and many think will someday run the firm, was out. I could also see who was and wasn't using their Bloomberg terminals among Goldman Sachs (GS) managing directors and Harvard MBAs.
And that's information readily available to everyone and still is. It's not something you had to be a Bloomberg reporter or know some obscure function to find out. The information is displayed in color dots -- green is in and red is out -- next to a user's e-mail address on the personal bio pages.
It's part of Bloomberg's messaging function, which is widely used on Wall Street, and it's the kind of tracking info that's common these days. Facebook and other social networks will tell you who else is online. But none of those things is as closely tied to buying and selling stocks and bonds, and moving money, as Bloomberg. And Facebook (FB), too, has had to rethink and apologize for its privacy policies numerous times.
Will "grey dotters" finally become socially acceptable?
There is a way to opt out. Bloomberg users can choose to keep their status on private, which gives them a grey dot on their Bloomberg bio page. PIMCO-ites, apparently, like to keep their Bloomberg usage to themselves. Bill Gross and Mohamed El-Erian both have grey dots next to their e-mails. Blackrock CEO Larry Fink is also a so-called grey dotter. But most people don't, in part because it's not socially acceptable on Wall Street. "We make fun of grey dotters," says one hedge fund manager. "They think they are big shots. Who cares if you are in or out?"
But you could imagine instances when it could matter. Bond traders, for instance, might be able to glean some edge knowing that Simon Potter, who heads up the buying and selling for the Federal Reserve, is in his office and at his terminal. Alas, Bloomberg doesn't have any information on the status of Potter, either because he doesn't have his own machine, or someone there thought better of providing that information to the whole world. But I was able to see that New York Fed chairman William Dudley was out. And Richard Fisher of Dallas was in but not currently using his terminal. Atlanta's Dennis Lockhart, and one of the richest top executives of the Fed, however, is a grey dotter.
MORE: Should Bloomberg be afraid of Twitter?
Go ahead and scoff, but now that you know how Bloomberg uses your status information and that every other reporter and now Bloomberg novice knows about it, you Wall Streeters might decide to become grey dotters, too.
How much more info did Bloomberg reporters have access to than the rest of us?
But just because you put up the grey dot doesn't mean that Bloomberg reporters weren't able to track your usage. A Bloomberg spokesperson declined to comment on this point. Doctoroff and Winkler have tried to explain it away, but it's not clear how much info Bloomberg reporters had access to. They say the special access was cut off last month.
Bloomberg has confirmed that its reporters had access to a log-on history. Beyond that it's not clear. Winkler said the reports could only see aggregate user data, "akin to being able to see how many times someone used Microsoft Word vs. Excel." But other ex-Bloomberg reporters have said that you could type in a specific person and see the types of things they were looking at. So that doesn't sound like aggregate data. And what exactly is the Bloomberg terminal equivalent of Word and Excel? Some reports have said that Bloomberg reporters were able to tell who read their stories. That seems like detailed snooping.
Will banks sue Bloomberg?
The revelation that Bloomberg reporters were spying on clients came to light after complaints from Goldman. But now it appears, according to latest reporting from the New York Times, that pretty much every big bank has had some beef with Bloomberg. All of a sudden that unexplained leak makes sense. Remember being stumped by who a "source with knowledge of the bank's activities" was? Well that source was your Bloomberg terminal.
And while that sounds damaging, it's not clear the banks would have a very good case against Bloomberg. Fortune has a Bloomberg terminal. And it looks like the contract we signed with Bloomberg, which appears to be the generic one used by the company, gives its employees the right to spy on us in two places. In one place, the contract states, "Lessee [Fortune] acknowledges and understand that Lessor [Bloomberg] may monitor, solely for operational reasons, Lessee's general use of the Service." One could interpret that to mean Bloomberg could only use the information to make sure the unit was operating properly. But Bloomberg could argue that the statement referred to anything that improved its users' "operational" experience. And if a particularly embarrassing story about you improved other users' experience that day, then Bloomberg seems to be covered.
MORE: Damn Excel! How the most important software program in the history of the world is ruining civilization
Fortune's contract was signed back in 2003. Reportedly some banks said that their contracts seem to protect the users' confidentiality. But that's not in our contract. So either Bloomberg has updated its contract, or your lawyers are better than our lawyers.
Will clients flee Bloomberg?
So the general wisdom is that Bloomberg won't lose many of its 315,000 customers from this spying scandal. But that seems to assume that everyone on Wall Street does the same job.
Traders for example probably couldn't live without a Bloomberg, and its immediate access to news and stock and bond market prices. But for mergers and acquisitions bankers, having a Bloomberg on your desk is more a status thing than something you really need. Bankers may get info from Bloomberg, but most of the analytics they run on deals happen on Excel spreadsheets. M&A guys are also probably the most paranoid about being tracked. A prominent banker in a particular industry might not want others to know he is in the office on Sunday or especially a Monday of a long weekend. (Being in the office on a holiday weekend is a telltale sign of a deal.) And remember this comes at a time when Wall Street is already looking to cut costs. Bloomberg terminals cost about $20,000 each. So while no big bank is going to completely ditch Bloomberg over this or any other breach of data to reporters, that doesn't mean no Bloomberg terminals are going to go dark.
Did Bloomberg reporters spy on other reporters?
So here's the most important question in the whole affair: Did Bloomberg reporters use their snooping function to spy on me, or other reporters? Perhaps. It's possible. The New York Times has seven machines. But a spokesperson says that none of the machines is registered to an individual reporter. They are shared by the newsroom. Bloombergs are more scarce at Dow Jones. The Wall Street Journal reporters don't have access to Bloomberg machines. But Barron's has one. The Financial Times has a bunch of Bloombergs, but a FT spokesperson didn't get back in touch to say how many.
MORE: Bloomberg still has plenty of fans on Wall Street
A few years ago, Fortune's librarian in a moment of paranoia asked a Bloomberg help desk person whether reporters can access the questions she was asking. The answer she got back was vague and always left her wondering. But no one at Fortune remembers a time when a terminal inquiry led to Bloomberg scooping us on something. Bloomberg did beat the WSJ to the JPMorgan London Whale story, even though most people seem to credit the scoop to the WSJ. Although since the WSJ doesn't have Bloombergs, it's hard to connect that to the current snooping scandal.
What's more, Bloomberg has a policy of withholding Bloombergs from media outlets that it considers direct competitors. So if using Bloomberg terminals to scoop other reporters was a strategy, it wasn't a coordinated effort.

We last spied the F30 hybrid back in February for the first time out in heavy camouflage. It has now shed its heavy camouflage and taken to the Nurburgring for track testing. One can tell this is a hybrid version by the typical "Rescue" stickers on its doors and rear bumper (which is always present BMW's hybrid test vehicles).
The F30 3-series will be the first 3-series hybrid from BMW and will adopt much of the technology from the upcoming hybrid F10 5-series which is scheduled to debut this winter. The F30 hybrid will be released some time after the diesel and petrol F30 models are released next year.
Despite the myriad of F30 3 series sedan test mule spy photos we've posted thus far, there has yet to be a direct F30 versus E90 3 series spotting, until now. Although it's only one view for now, it gives us the best idea yet of how the new 2012 3 series F30 sedan will compare to the outgoing E90 3 series with respect to size, proportions, rear styling, and stance. Thanks to F30post member CSL-Fanatik.
Based on shape, the F30 appears more evolutionary than revolutionary a design, unlike the current F10 5 series which threw the E60 design language out the window in favor of a wholly new design.
The F30 and E90 seem similar, which should assuage the fears of 3 series fans who cringe at … CONTINUED
We bring you a preview of the BMW F30 3 series' production front end styling via our set of renders. These were constructed by analyzing the 100% uncovered F30 spy pics recently posted, together with input from Scott26, who has seen the production F30 design. It was confirmed that these images are representative of the real life F30 front end design.
The F30′s front styling will represent very unique elements never before seen on a production BMW. The headlight-grille area features deep set headlights which dip inward to expose the sides of the kidney grilles. We've been getting hints of this new styling element with recent BMW concepts (see below). This innovative design not only differentiates the F30′s front end look from the rest of the BMW … CONTINUED
Taking a page out of their multi-lines strategy for the F20 1-series hatchback (which has the Sport and Urban Lines), the F30 and F32 3 series will also be available in multiple "lines" options.
The 3 lines expected for the next gen 3 series sedan (and perhaps "4 series coupe" if the name change comes to fruition) will be a Sport Line, Modern Line, and Luxury Line (actual final names may differ, we've also heard Sport Line, Urban Line and Deluxe Line as the possible names).
These optional lines will feature differentiated preset looks via unique trimmings and equipment. Besides the usual options and packages BMWs can be configured with, this allows BMW to offer even more individuality and uniqueness between the same models. These lines should not … CONTINUED

Due to its geographic location, the Philippines is one of the world's most disaster prone countries, particularly vulnerable to tropical cyclones and floods, earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions. These disasters can easily wipe-out years of hard-won development gains in the country. The U.S. Government through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is a committed supporter and partner of the Government of the Philippines in alleviating the suffering of people that have been affected by disasters; and in promoting approaches that reduce people's vulnerability to hazardous events. The USAID humanitarian assistance approach focuses on providing rapid and appropriate emergency response to requests for assistance, as well as fostering self-sufficiency through disaster risk reduction (DRR).
USAID has been providing humanitarian assistance to the Philippines in response to natural and man-made disasters. The U.S. Government, through USAID has provided a total of PhP 2,836,640,000 (US$65.331 million) over the past five years to aid with the disaster response in the Philippines. The U.S. Government is helping the Philippines cope with the effects of calamities by improving mechanisms to effectively adapt and respond to natural disasters. This includes responses to Tropical Storm Ketsana (Ondoy) in 2009, Typhoon Megi (Juan) in 2010, Tropical Storm Washi (Sendong) in 2011, and Typhoon Bopha (Pablo) in 2012.
On December 4, 2012, Typhoon Bopha made landfall in the southern Philippines island of Mindanao, bringing heavy rains and sustained winds of up to 175 kilometers per hour, as well as flooding and landslides, to areas along its path. The storm moved west-northwestward across the Philippines, primarily affecting Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental, and Negros Oriental provinces. The U.S. Government has provided a total of PhP 683,800,000 (US$16.678 million) to support the emergency assistance to individuals affected by Typhoon Pablo in the Philippines. This funding is helping address the humanitarian needs of typhoon-affected populations in Compostela Valley, Davao Oriental, and Negros Oriental provinces, and includes support for emergency shelter, logistics, and water, sanitation, and hygiene activities, as well as the provision of emergency relief commodities and rice.
USAID also implements a DRR program aimed at enhancing the capacity of the national and local government units in reducing disaster risks by managing the causal factors of disasters, as well as reducing exposures to hazards, lessening the vulnerability of people and property, and improving the level of preparedness for future adverse events. In partnership with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), USAID is providing assistance to increase the capacity of regional and provincial level DRR councils to adopt the Incident Command System as the structured disaster response approach. USAID provides local government units technical assistance to enable them to increase their capacity to prepare for and reduce the adverse impacts of disasters. USAID also works with the Department of Education and various schools in mainstreaming DRR into secondary education curriculum through teacher training and adoption of DRR teaching activities. For Fiscal Year 2013, USAID provided over PhP 288,761,000 (US$7.043 million) for disaster risk reduction activities in the Philippines.

The answer to that question is easy, NO!, But, without being there it is impossible to diagnose it just based on what you have written. If you did the plumbing yourself, did you put a "P" trap under the toilet?
Our toilet on the second floor is possessed ! Sometimes it flushes just fine and sometime it won't at all unless aggressively plunged. It has been getting progressively worse over the 4 years we've been using it. We can flush it with absolutely nothing but water in it and get the same result. THere is no pattern to when it will flush and when it won't.
Here are the details:
it has a 4" drain and the toilet itself is a regular American Standard 1.6gpf. My husband has pulled the toilet and found nothing in the toilet trap or the drain pipe, pulled the vent stack at mid point in our attic and looked up to the sky and as far down as possible and found nothing and opened the clean out in the basement while I've flushed and watched water rush by. The septic tank was pumped in November so we know that's not full.We've tried pouring water in the tank and directly in the bowl : same inconsistent result. We've also cleaned out the holes under the rim to make sure no mineral deposits are there.
We are in the process of building this house (a 10 year process!) and the first floor toilet is not yet installed. There is just a rag stuffed in the 4" pipe to keep gases from coming in.
The two toilets are in a straight line (stacked bathrooms) and share the same drain and vent system. We're stumped.
Is it possible that somehow when we flush on the second floor we are gradually sucking in air through this 1st floor rag filled pipe until after a few flushes we are creating a vapor lock (or something similar) in the 2nd floor that is only "broken" with plunging? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
The answer to that question is easy, NO!, But, without being there it is impossible to diagnose it just based on what you have written. If you did the plumbing yourself, did you put a "P" trap under the toilet?
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
The toilet has an integral "S" trap, but amateurs sometime think it needs a "P" trap under it like a sink would. Doing THAT can cause flushing problems such as you describe.

Leaders and Legends (12/13/2010)
On this day in 2010, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany goes on the Big Ten Network and announces that the names for the two new Big Ten (now styled B1G) divisions that will begin play for football in 2011 will be "Leaders" and "Legends". He then has to explain that he is being completely serious no less than 15 times to the media.
Michigan fans immediately recognize the sheer stupidity of not having the "Leaders and Best" play in the Leaders Division.
The Big Ten announces in April 2013 that when Rutgers and Maryland join the conference in 2014, the divisions will be reorganized into logical and sensible "East" and "West". Well, except for the part where, with Michigan being in the East, they can't be "Champions of the West". Some things never change.
