Lafayette's Hamann makes history
CLINTON — The Lafayette girls, sparked by individual gold medalist Peyton Hamann and two others in the top six performers, claimed third place in the MHSAA Class 4A state cross-country meet held Saturday at Mississippi College's Choctaw Trails.
The Oxford Chargers came in third in the Class 5A boys state cross-country meet, while the OHS girls and Lafayette boys each finished fourth in their team competitions. (more…) (November 12, 2012, Page 4B)

Nine area runners earn top recognition this year
Dedication and perseverance proved to be two of the main reasons why Oxford and Lafayette had such successful cross country seasons this fall. In a year where both programs had to rely on underclassmen to not only fill out the roster, but perform at a high level, having nine runners earn the distinction of being All-State was a tremendous achievement.
The Lady Chargers and Lady Commodores each had three runners finish in the top 14 at the state meet held at Choctaw Trails in Clinton on Nov. 6. Earning All-State from Oxford were sophomore Callie Mayo, eighth-grader Emily Hankins and sophomore Audrey Dayan. (December 2, 2010, Page 1B)

China's `Dear Abby'. Qiu Ming offers readers the kind of advice and comfort she wishes she could have heard. COMMUNIST COLUMNIST
LIVING amid the teeming alleys and communal gray-brick courtyards of Beijing, Qiu Ming knows the anguish of loneliness in a crowd. One day six years ago, socially ostracized and humiliated by her divorce, Ms. Qiu attempted suicide by throwing herself into the path of an oncoming car on a busy Beijing street.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
The car braked inches away and Qiu was unhurt, but she has never forgotten the alienation she felt as she was surrounded by a gawking rush-hour swarm.
``I would have been satisfied if anyone had just listened to me a little,'' said Qiu, a broad-faced woman with sensitive eyes and a girlish voice. ``But no one gave me any comfort.''
Today, Qiu offers hundreds of thousands the caring advice she once so desperately needed. She is China's ``Dear Abby.''
``I decided to be the one to say `I'll help you' when people had troubles,'' Qiu said in an interview.
Nicknamed ``big sister'' or ``auntie'' by those who consult her, Qiu writes a weekly advice column for the official China Women's News, which has about 300,000 subscribers nationwide. Qiu's ``letter box,'' the first of its kind in a Chinese newspaper, has won wide popularity since it first appeared on Jan. 8, 1988.
``I have had a love affair, a marriage, a baby, and a divorce,'' Qiu wrote in her first letter to readers. ``I have tasted all the bitterness, both expressible and inexpressible, that a divorced woman can experience. ... I'd like to hear your innermost feelings, share your sorrows and troubles and, if possible, offer my advice.''
Letters to ``sister'' Qiu have poured in by the hundreds - from men and women, young and old, sophisticated urban intellectuals and illiterate peasants who dictate their woes to village scribes. Posted from across the nation, they cover topics ranging from romance and marriage to divorce, infidelity, and homosexuality.
Answering each letter personally, Qiu discovered that countless Chinese crave emotional support and moral guidance just as she once did. Such needs are intensifying as Confucian mores and Maoist puritanism clash with the new permissiveness of China's rapidly modernizing society, she says.
On the one hand, a decade of fast economic growth and rising prosperity has spurred a ``sexual revolution'' in China, with both premarital and extramarital sex increasingly common, according to the magazine Chinese Youth.
Many Chinese also seem less serious about marriage. The number of divorce cases handled by China's courts more than doubled last year compared to 1987, official statistics show. In big cities, for every 100 couples who marry, 30 register for divorce, according to the official China Daily. Many couples who seek divorce have been married only one or two years, the paper said.
On the other hand, deep-seated social prejudices against such liberal conduct lingers, leaving many Chinese - especially young people - torn between new urges and conservative values thousands of years old. Tormented by social pressure, some 140,000 Chinese each year commit suicide, the nation's leading cause of unnatural death.
Qiu says many Chinese turn to her for advice because they are ashamed to divulge their inner conflicts to family members or friends.
``Chinese people are very introverted,'' Qiu said. ``They don't want to reveal their worries to others for fear of losing face. They feel it is dangerous to talk about personal problems, even to a friend, because others might find out.''
Qiu can easily sympathize with such fears, which paralyzed her for several years.

Pat Eyler works about a block and a half from where I live in downtown SLC, UT, and yesterday we met up for lunch. Amongst our far reaching topics of conversation included the proper way to pronounce Rubinius. In case any of you were like me and had no clue how to properly pronounce it, here's the general idea,
Say "Rubik's Cube".
Then replace the "k" in Rubik's with "n", the end result sounding like a Reuben sandwich (mmm… my favorite! :D) or Rubin Stoddard (hmmm… not so much my favorite, though I'm not an American Idol fan (that's cuz' I'm not a TV fan, not because I despise the show itself) so that could be why.)
So now that I think of it you can probably just skip the Rubik's cube 'k -> n' transfusion and move right on through to Reuben/Rubin, but whatever makes you happy; I would just run with that and call it good. ;-)
OK! So, now that we have the first part figured out… Say "I" (as in you, but in reverse) make that EEE, as in "I am an idEEEot". See 'probablycorey''s comment and my follow-up below for all the gorey details and then "us" (as in "you and I"), putting all of them together to form,
Rubin EEE us
… and that's it! You now know how to properly pronounce the Rubinius project :-) But no need to thank me. Thank Pat!
Thanks, Pat! :D

There've been happy coincidences aplenty for the Vivian Girls this year. Two examples: they've recorded and played shows with Fucked Up, which wrote a song with the same name as their band before they ever assembled ("Vivian Girls" appeared on 2006's Hidden World (Jade Tree), and the Vivian Girls began early last year), and, at one of those shows, bass player Kickball Katy found out she wears the same kicks as Ezra Koenig from Vampire Weekend. "We both have the Sperry boat shoes," she explained, claiming Koenig was more weirded out than she was at this discovery.
At the time of our phone conversation, being in those shoes sounded a bit wearying. It was rainy and cold in the group's Brooklyn home base, and October had been a busy month for the trio, which includes guitarist Cassie Ramone and drummer Ali. CMJ burned them out on what was supposed to be an October at-home break. As Katy put it, "It was kind like being on tour while being at home." Twelve hometown shows in a month does sound like a bit much, especially alongside several other one-off jaunts along the Eastern seaboard.
I guess these things happen when you set blogger hearts aflutter with a great record. Since their self-titled debut sold out its original 500-copy run on Mauled by Tigers in just 10 days earlier this year it has since been reissued by In the Red the attention has snowballed around their rather meek undertaking to, as Katy said, "sound like the Wipers." In truth, they do sorta sound like the Wipers, but this is where another of those coincidences comes in. Without really meaning to, their reverb-heavy pop turned out to have aesthetic forebears in older English bands like Dolly Mixture and Talulah Gosh.
Vivian Girls, "Tell the World"
Little realizing Vivian Girls would earn a place alongside such distinguished bedfellows, Ramone started the group in March 2007 with former drummer Frankie Rose, who left the outfit earlier this year and now drums for kindred Brooklyn group Crystal Stilts. Katy, who knew Ramone from high school, joined in on bass guitar shortly thereafter. Ali took over on drums early this summer, and they've since plowed ahead promoting their record and three singles. The entire threesome sings, and their sound is one you'd hardly hear elsewhere, delivered in earnest, these days: informally sweet vocal harmonies, jangled and thrashy guitars, and a hurried rhythmic sense that makes their album's 21 minutes feel even shorter than they actually are.
Hurried Vivian Girls may sound, but they're clearly not harried, even with their heavy touring schedule. "We do Vivian Girls everyday," Katy said, "whether it's touring or other things. There's a lot to do." The latest to-do is especially impressive. They're silk-screening 7-inch sleeves because they've started their own label, Wild World, and the inaugural release will be a fan club-esque package deal: a 7-inch including new songs "Surfin Away" and "Second Date," a cover of the Beach Boys' "Girl Don't Tell Me," along with a T-shirt, button, and postcard. A thousand copies will be up for pre-order soon. Of course they'll sell out. But as Katy points out, when you make something yourselves, "a thousand of anything is a lot."
Lots of other plans are slated, too.

Its' free and it takes less than 1 minute!
You have the sketchbook of an animator.
Love it all
hey the portrait of the girl in blue pencil looks 100% like my (X WIFE) HEY NOW! LOL! whats her name lol..grate art
I like your drapery studies, and the facial expression studies are fun. I agree with humanNature115, you do have the sketchbook of an animator, lots of cartonish work and movement.
And I'm liking what I see!
I'm learning myself, but the only thing that even caught my glimpse was the portraits you did (With the photos next to them) Some of their faces looked just a teeny bit weird, and one's head shape was a bit too long. Though I'm really impressed with the Barack Obama one!
I'm not the best critiquer, so sorry if it didn't help much ^^; Great stuff though! Keep it up!
"Looking for critiques! Any help is appreciated."
Your work has such a great flow to it. Someone mentioned animation and that popped into my head too.
Anyway not perfect, but very solid and you seem to be practising and doing all the right things.
Just have fun and keep posting.

More doodles:
Hey eminkey, you used to frequent PA forums, right? Me too, but I doubt you would know me.
Anyhow, here are some of my thoughts.
I think you might want to be spending more time on those face studies. Likeness is lacking in most of them.
On the Obama pic, your values are not expressing what is really happening there. If you were to split it into three values (which I think you were essentially going for) the only white areas would be on the left of the image, the the light source is coming from there. The rest is in shadow, and would have to be indicated with the two lower values. (The likeness of the drawing is pretty good in this one though.)
Also, the brush pen studies look really nice!
Keep on truckn' dude!
cool sketches, you have got some real energy to you lines, they all flow really nicely.
keep it up

Hey Really fun sketchbook dude - full of life and energy! I will be back to give you some constructive crits on the art when I have some time to actually make them useful - but for now, seriously just keep on doing what you're doing ...oh yeh and remember 'draw what you see not what you think you see' ;P lol!
Don't worry about feeling confused - take a lil step back and think about which type of art you'd most enjoy doing - that is a good indication of you're best career direction I reckon. If you're passionate about it it shows in your art and that will result in commissions that suit your style, happier clients and a happier you. I spent the first few years of my freelance work very confused about my art style just doing what the client wanted (this often resulted in them having to choose a style and me having a hard time achieving it) now I've developed more of my own style things are a lot easier.
I hope that was helpful buddy - keep up the great work!

It's true what The7artist7 has said. and . . . . your cartoony stuff is a lot more appealing to me. I can tell your having fun with it.
Thanks for the advice, guys. FearSelf, I used to ask people if I could make quick portraits of them, but I haven't recently. I can't remember the last time I drew a face from far away. : /
About style: It's probably not a good idea to stick to any particular style all the time, so I try not to spend too much time on just one way of drawing.

Your doodles always have great lines, good job.
Thanks, Fraz. Here are some more faces from my little 3 x 5 notebook.
Sketches, maybe from the beginning of fall. Any and all C &C most certainly appreciated! I'll do what I can to return the favors and merit them on my own.
New sketch. Just joined a possible SSG with Mumph, Alm0st, BRINKMAN!, and crabbyclem, so check out their threads too! Thanks again to everyone who's commented so far. I really do appreciate it.
You have a great sketchbook, I like the flow of your lines! Great drapery studies, I like the heads, should probably do more myself, the way you do them.
Do you have any longer studies? That´s a thing I need to practise a lot more myself, as I tend to just sketch all the time.
Yeah, we will get that SSG going

Yo eminkey, you have an incredibly strong sketchbook here. Great cartoony stuff, great face studies, lot so character all around.
Something about the hatching in the last piece isn't quite working for me. I think it's the angle at which the the sets of hatches are sitting on top of each other. They seem to flatten out rounded surfaces rather than accentuate their curves.
Nice work! I'm excited about this SSG!!!
I like your loose, cartoon style!
Keep observing and drawing from life; and as brinkman says, the hatching looks a little funky; mind you, I can still understand what i'm looking at. Maybe if the hatchmarks contour the shapes you can bring out the forms more clearly
I agree with the others about the hatching looking a bit off.
Maybe you could try doing the same image but without contours, just the hatching.

Aye a cartoonist in the house! nice work so far, I see your structure is pretty solid throughout. my fav so far has to be the brush pens. As for crits pretty much I would not want to echo everyone else.
Thanks again. Coincidence that you mentioned going lineless-- I tried to do that in these two 30 minute Greek studies from the Met Museum. (I major in Illustration at SVA). Here are some doodles too. C & C oh-so-warmly welcomed!

UFC 158: Nick Diaz and 8 Other Fighters with a Chip on Their Shoulder
By Matthew Ryder ,
It's safe to say that to be a professional cage fighter, one has to have a pretty substantial chip on their shoulder. With UFC 158 coming up and his immediately legendary conference call still the talk of the sport, fans are fixing to see one of the premiere "chip on his shoulder" fighters when Nick Diaz challenges Georges St-Pierre for the welterweight title.
Diaz has a laundry list of infamous antics that prove him to be among the nastiest guys in the business. Here's a list of his contemporaries in that field.
How could you include Nick without mentioning Nate?
While he's the more sensible of the two brothers in terms of carrying himself with the media and when dealing with Dana White, he's still a notoriously tough customer. Mean mugging and middle fingers are pretty much par for the course with Nate come fight time, something he likely learned from his big brother.
Once among the most hated men in the sport, Bisping has undergone an image transformation of sorts in recent years. That said, he's still not above a nasty comment on Twitter or a dig at an opponent leading into a fight. Not to mention things like spitting at an opponent's corner, an act which certainly doesn't help in the popularity race.
That said, he engages his "love 'em or hate 'em" role with the company, and he does it with a chip on his shoulder. There are probably a few guys who could learn to take that approach, really.
The personification of swagger, Overeem is among the cockiest fighters in the game. That doesn't always work out for him, but up until his recent knockout loss to Antonio Silva he'd gone on an unbeaten run of nearly six years, so maybe he'd earned it.
Routinely belittling opponents with a casual indifference to their skills, walking towards guys with his hands down, and smirking at their best efforts in the cage at almost all times are all Overeem traits. They're also traits of a man with a serious chip on his shoulder.
Silva just loves to hurt people. If he could stay some combination of clean and healthy, he'd be able to do it more often too.
Still, when he's in the cage or staring down an opponent at a presser or at weigh-ins, there's a tangible hatred there. He's not looking for a fight, he's looking to break a human being in half. Maybe the scariest guy on the roster, largely because of the chip on his shoulder.
A 1-2 record in the UFC isn't anything to write home about, especially from a guy many thought was the No. 2 middleweight in the world only a year ago. Lombard hasn't been great since joining the world's top promotion, but he sure has been nasty.
All he talks about is inflicting pain on guys and producing spectacular violence, often picking on guys he's not even fighting. If you're not content to fight the guy you've been booked against, so much so that you need to start feuds with other guys minding their own business, it's safe to say you're a pretty mean customer.
Is there anything better than seeing B.J. Penn come storming down the aisle, eyes blazing, tongue scraping against his teeth as he shakes out his arms and mutters curse words to himself as he heads toward the cage? That B.J. Penn doesn't always show up, but there might be nothing better in MMA—no, in the world—than when he does.
And it's because of the chip on his shoulder. He goes there not to get into a fistfight on a Saturday night, but to beat another man as close to death as the law will allow. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
Repeatedly noted as a lost Diaz brother, Neer is a longtime warrior who has fought basically everyone out there over the course of his career. He'll mean mug, he's not there to shake hands or exchange pleasantries, and if you think you're getting the better of him he'll happily tell you why you're not right in the middle of a fight.
It's an admirable trait in a sport that's slowly shifting away from such attitudes. He might never be a champion, but he's as good as anyone at being a mean-spirited, nasty dude in the cage.
Somewhere along the way MacDonald went from a mild-mannered Canadian prospect to a robotic, serial murdering lunatic in Buddy Holly glasses. Go figure.
Now he's all about telling people what he's going to do to opponents, why he wants to do it, and how he plans on doing it, always with a precision that makes anyone with a soul uncomfortable. The chip on his shoulder definitely exists, but it might be a little bit more of a Dark Passenger, actually.

Ranking foods by antioxidants per dollar spent.
But three even better bargains to go.
Winning the bronze for best bargain: Cloves. And the Silver to cinnamon. Wait until you hear the gold, though. It's going to blow your mind. Busting off the charts as the number one antioxidant bargain in the world? Purple cabbage--red cabbage. Cheap as dirt, like 30 cents a pound, and packed with antioxidants—look at that color. And it lasts forever. Next time you go shopping, buy a red cabbage, put it in the crisper, and slice off shreds to put in as many things as you can thing of—great crunch for salad, throw into soups, stir-fries, whatever. And then when you run out you go buy another red cabbage. And if I'm ever over at your house, don't think I won't check the crisper… In terms of eating healthy on a budget red cabbage cannot be beat by any food on the planet Earth. Bar none. Period. Done.

If I juice a red cabbage and drink it, but discard a good deal of the fiber am I still getting most of the antioxidant value?
Thanks, Elyn
Hello Elyn,
Excellent question! Many have been wondering about this with all the talk of "juice fasting" that have been going on. Check out Dr. Greger's video all about juicing here http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/fruit-juice-fail/
Essentially, you throw out 90% of the nutrients when you juice a fruit or vegetables. Regarding oranges for example, it takes 3 oranges to make a cup of orange juice and its STILL not nutritionally equivalent to 1 single plain orange.
Hope this helps!
Well, that's strange, I thought that juicing was the opposite– as a glass of juice was equivalent to a lb of produce.
using my vitamix I put the whole orange in rind and all ,some fresh ginger, some unsweetend almond milk , a frosen banana , uncooked oatmeal and some greens. Makes a great smoothie in the morning oh also some chia seeds.
I use whole raw almonds (1 part to 4 parts water), it's cheaper buying almond milk and saves a step over making it.
Toxins, Tell us: Is that also true of sauerkraut juice?
My reference was only to whole foods in terms of preserving fiber and phytonutrients. Eating foods in their whole form is usually better then their juice.
Any tips on how to add more cloves to our diet? I'm assuming that people are using ground cloves somehow?
Hello Crystal!
A great way to get cloves into your diet is to start drinking decaf chai tea.
Ginger snap flavored Larabars also contain cloves. You can also throw some cloves into soups.
Hope this helps!
Great ideas! I didn't know about the chai. I'm a caffeine free girl. My only concern with eating "decaf" products is that they are known to be processed with chemicals. I'll look into it. I love chai…Thanks again!
Consider using chai made with roobios tea, which is low or no caffeiine.
lara bars are GMO BACKING BASTARDS
I'm not sure what the bruhaha was about, but that is clearly not the case now: "We hear your passion and concerns regarding the labeling of GMO
ingredients. Please know that LÄRABAR will continue to use non-GMO
ingredients in all of our products, and label our products as "Non-GMO."
In addition, we are proudly enrolled in The Non-GMO Project." from
He may be referring to the fact that Larabar is owned by General Mills, which donated $1.2 million to defeat Prop 37 and is assuredly doing the same NOW to defeat the GMO labeling referendum I-522 in Washington. This time they are being more crafty, under cover of the Grocery Manufacturer's Association (GMA). The point is, sending revenue to Larabar is also sending part of it to General Mills. That is working against our own interests. Sorry Larabar, this is regardless of your product's non-GMO status.
Thank you for this information. I will drop Larabar from my shopping list. I'll have to see what other General Mills products I might buy. Not too many, I'm sure.
For some context, please check out my associated blog post The Best Detox!
This is quackery. The antioxidant scores of these foods are measured using test-tube measures like ORAC, TEAC, and FRAP: they tell you absolutely nothing about the bioavailability or bioactivity of those antioxidants. Cyanide has a very high antioxidant score; that doesn't make it healthy.
As it happens, I agree that cabbage (red or green) is a great health bargain — but that's because it's a cheap *cruciferous* vegetable, consumption of which has been linked to lower risk of some cancers. The phytochemicals thought to be responsible for this protective effect are believed to be beneficial because of their actions on sex hormone metabolism, not any "antioxidant" buzz.
Can I really just start slicing off pieces of cabbage and adding them to things? I always fear the whole thing will start to turn brown if I don't figure out what to do with it – all at once.
Don't worry, you can pull a leaf off at a time. My mother grew cabbages and stored them in the basement. I would snack on them from time to time in the fall and winter after school. They have a nice juiciness/crispness for snacking on. The cabbage will keep just fine as you eliminate the outer leaves.
I wouldn't say it is quackery, although you probably do have a point about bio-availability. To me, I think it would be best to combine the vitamin, mineral, and bioavailable antioxidants in some formula to determine best value per dollar spent. I'd have to say, however, I think I know part of the answer: Eat in season. Produce in season is often local and is usually relatively low in price, but there is more to it than that.
Hi Dr. Greger,
I would like to know your thoughts on the use of Serrapeptase regarding it's supposed ability to remove 'dead tissue' from the body (and specifically arterial plaque build-up). All of the proponents of the product sight Dr. Hans Napier's results of his study 20+ years ago (Germany), but I do not see any more recent studies on this supposed 'miracle' enzyme. I currently am taking 40,000 units a day. Thanking you in advance.
Enzymes can be beneficial in our intestines if certain conditions such as pancreatic insufficiency where patients don't make the digestive enzymes they need. Enzymes are proteins with many amino acids which are broken down by our intestines. So any claims that enzymes contribute to the reduction of plaque is not consistent with our current understanding of human physiology. Improvement of blood flow via the Nitrous Oxide system and reversal of plaque has been demonstrated. The best introduction to this is Dr. Esselstyn's book on Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease. For the abstracts and articles you can view the video's and check out sources cites on NutritionFacts.org… you might start with http://nutritionfacts.org/video/arterial-acne/ to help understand this complicated issue.
Dr. Greger, which one would have more antioxidents acai berries or amla powder?
Ann – Milton, ON
Dr: Greger
Do you recommend using ceramic coated nonstick cookware? Thank you
I love the question! What cookware can we use, if we are aiming for a mostly oil-free style of cooking, that isn't harmful to our bodies directly, and isn't harmful to the environment (production, disposal). People who have birds know that teflon can kill them, as can any plastic that starts to burn. Try making a crepe on a stainless steal pan…it just sticks and sticks and makes a big mess, but not a crepe.
If you cook with a few tablespoons of water at a time to keep the veggies from sticking to the pan it works just as well as oil would.
That is fine for cooking veggies, but doesn't work a darn for pancakes, crepes, or french toast. You need the right pan for the job.
Funny you say that, I tried making E2 pancakes and it was very difficult with my pan. Your very right.
Now, ceramic is not the same as teflon, not by a long shot. Basically ceramic is just that, ceramic, natural material, like glass, sort of, and as such it would be totally safe, however, some ceramic cookware seems to be less ceramic than others, so you still need to be careful. Teflon is no good.
Regarding high ORAC foods (cloves!), does one need to ingest the clove (or cinnimon or other spices) or is the value available if the clove (etc.) is boiled and turned into a tea? Is there dilution to the ORAC value by creating a tea? Mabye there is a better question or way to ask this question that you could share.
Cabbage last forever? I thought I only had 3-4 days after I sliced into this yummy veg!

I bought 2 XL tall planters and two inserts. One of the inserts split and was replaced in two days of me reporting this - they just asked for a photo. The staff are really helpful, delivery is fast (if out of stock you are given a due date which was sooner than promised), you get an email advising you of delivery and prices are great.
I'll go back to Primrose without hesitation next time I need something for the garden. Well done, service can be so poor and it leaves you with a bad taste but you guys excelled.

Honestly, there's a lot of shitty shoes this week. This might be the weakest week I've seen all year.
I would have liked to see those 02' low metallic VI's make the list but oh well. Nice post K Chinn!
Either the hornets x or the dt2. I'm givng the slight edge to the dt2. Those are claaasssic. Props to dude for submitting those.
u right, not a very strong week. some hight points though like the infrareds (my vote) and og 10's
The netsare weird, they change tone depending on the light. It depends on the lighting, bad lighting will make them look like a puke color but good, dark lighting will make them look nice and twn

220V to 5V
Hi to all,
Can anyone help me to find out the values of the resistor and capacitor as shown on the first page of the attachment. This will be use to convert 220V AC to 5V DC. Your response is highly appreciated. Thank you very much. Regards, Gilbert |
Nope, we can't help. First without any values the circuit drawn will blow something up, what specifically blows up depends on the values.
Draw the circuit properly so we get a better feeling you will build it correctly. Then also tell us what you are driving because the cap value depends on the load current. |
Well, if we're going to be critical, let's please do so constructively so that learning occurs.
I extracted the schematic from the .pdf file: You have a power switch, then a transformer; both good. I would like to see a fuse between the 220v supply and the power switch; that is a safety device to protect you and your project. A 1A fuse rated for at least 220v is sufficient for most hobby-type power supplies. I'm afraid that you did not connect the full wave bridge correctly. You have a resistor in there as a load, but you have no form of regulation. Have a look at the 2nd attachment for a basic 5v regulated supply; not fancy but it will work for low-power loads.
General info: If you have a question, please start a thread/topic. I do not provide gratis assistance via PM nor E-mail, as that would violate the intent of this Board, which is sharing knowledge ... and deprives you of other knowledgeable input. |

Samsung Galaxy S III takes No.1 position in smartphone market - research
Agence France-Presse, November 08, 2012
The survey from Strategy Analytics came, however, as Apple was launching the iPhone 5. Sales from both the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 combined were higher than those of the flagship Samsung smartphone.
"The Galaxy S3 captured an impressive 11 percent share of all smartphones shipped globally and it has become the world's best-selling smartphone model for the first time ever," said Strategy Analytics' Neil Shah.
"A large touchscreen design, extensive distribution across dozens of countries, and generous operator subsidies have been among the main causes of the Galaxy S3's success."
Still, Shah acknowledged that "consumers temporarily held off purchases in anticipation of a widely expected iPhone 5 upgrade at the end of the quarter."
According to the research firm, some 18 million Galaxy S3 phones were sold in the three months to September 30.
Apple sold 16.2 million of its iPhone 4S in the period and six million of the iPhone 5, which launched in mid-September, it said.
The sales gave the Samsung device a 10.7 percent market share to 9.7 percent for the iPhone 4S and 3.6 percent for the iPhone 5.
Neil Mawston, executive director at Strategy Analytics said the Galaxy S3 "has proven wildly popular with consumers and operators across North America, Europe and Asia" but that its position as the world's best-selling smartphone model "is likely to be short-lived."
He added that with the iPhone 5, "Apple should soon reclaim the title of the world's most popular smartphone model."

Climate in Clovis - 10/20/2012 Clovis, and the entire Central Valley of California, is a horrible place to live. There are only two seasons - cool and stinkin' hot. In July, August, and September the temperatures can get into triple digits, sometimes it can get up to 114. Since there is no rain for months, by the time August arrives the air is in the Unhealthy zone on several days. It doesn't start getting cool until late October. Between the hot temperatures, the dust from living in an agricultural community (with little rain) and the air pollution, it is a very uncomfortable and unhealthy place to live.[read more...]
Trying to leave as soon as possible - 6/26/2012 My husband and I grew up here in the central Valley and now are looking to move as far away as possible. This is a very boring place to live. There is really nothing to do here but go out to eat, go to the movies and walk down the mall. The gangs and crime have taken over. Please think twice before moving here until things improve. The City government is doing the best with what they have, but it's just not enough. Bye Bye California!! Hopefully [read more...]

Not a country town anymore. - 12/11/2006 Clovis used to be just a little country town next to Fresno. With the influx of out-of-towners and huge housing developments taking up most of the farmland around town, it's beginning to look like any other sprawling California town. Where there were once dozens of little roadside places selling strawberries fresh from the patch right behind them, now there are only busy intersections with a few vendors with fruit from Mexico. What happened to all our beautiful orchards and farmland? If I see another mini storage place being build, I'm going to scream. In the last 5 years housing prices have become ridiculous. It's still not as crowded as the Bay Area and thankfully the hot summers scare most people away. Need that heat to grow that fruit.[read more...]

A survey gives younger employees failing grades in financial literacy.
Most of the nation's younger workers say they know more about how an iPod functions than about filing taxes, buying a home or investing their savings.
In a survey of more than 1,700 employees under 40 years old, nearly half gave themselves failing grades in financial planning, according to Divided We Fail, a Washington-based coalition of business and retirement groups that includes the National Federation of Independent Business, Business Roundtable and AARP.
While many said they planned to set aside funds for retirement, only half were actually saving their paychecks regularly.
Yet, despite a lack of planning, more than 90 percent of respondents said they felt confident about reaching their personal financial goals during the next ten years. Not surprisingly, most young workers placed a high value on health insurance, retirement savings plans, wellness plans and other workplace benefits, the survey found.
"These generations face new challenges when it comes to building lifetime financial security," Nancy LeaMond, an AARP spokesperson, said in a statement. "The good news is that they realize how the retirement landscape is changing and are confident that they can achieve their financial goals. The bad news is that they know more about making their iPod work than making their savings work for them."
The American Savings Education Council, a Washington-based non-profit group, also sponsored the survey.

Eastern Plumas Health Care is working to expand its specialty services, and in this era of economic fear and downsizing, that might come as a surprise.
The way Chief Executive Officer Tom Hayes explains it though, it just makes sense, especially because EPHC is at a distance from larger medical centers where these services regularly occur.
Staff Writer
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors gave its required 90-day notice Tuesday, Sep. 7, that it would cancel Veterans Service Officer Sheryl Austin's contract with the stated intention of rehiring her in a similar job that would no longer categorize her as a department head.

Plumas District Hospital's board held its first post-Measure B election meeting Sept. 2. In fact, board members held two meetings: a special meeting and a regular monthly meeting.
The special meeting held two agenda items of note. The first was to discuss possible action following voter approval of Measure B and its impact on bondholders and the district.
Traveling westbound: the closure will be located 2 miles southwest of the intersection with Bucks Lake Road in Meadow Valley.

Spring / Summer 2011
Cherries get all the love, but is that fair? A relative of the rose, the genus Malus, which contains the apple tree and crabapples, puts on quite the springtime show, too. And don't even get me started on Syringa, aka lilacs, which should be popping into their fragrant, purple glory at any minute! Spring, it's a many splendored thing! What is your favorite spring flower? ~AR
