Staffordshire Hoard at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
Please note that the Staffordshire Hoard Gallery will be closed from 2 February to 15 March 2014 whilst we carry out important research into the collection. Do please contact us directly for further information.
There is a permanent display of items from the Staffordshire Hoard at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
The exhibition tells the story of the Hoard find and the history of Anglo-Saxon Britain. As well as seeing the Hoard objects you can also use the interactives to take a closer look at some of the star items that are not currently on display.
There is also the opportunity to handle two replica Saxon swords.
Conservation of the Hoard is taking place at Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery. Due to conservation work, research work and occasional photography and filming days we cannot guarantee which objects will be on display in the gallery. If you would like to check before your visit please phone: 0121 303 1966 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Long-term, a new permanent display, due to open Autumn 2014, will uncover the secrets of the jewellery-makers who crafted the exquisite pieces of the hoard, with little more than primitive tools. It will also uncover little-known trading routes between the UK and eastern climes that carried the gold and garnets to our shores.

Rabbit: It's What's For Dinner
There is so very little to celebrate the last Monday in February. Long weekends behind us for the foreseeable future, the weather still not quite cooperating, caught between winter food and spring food. In other words, I know you don't have plans on February 22, so you should certainly plan to attend EAST MEATS WEST, a collaborative rabbit themed dinner cooked (and hosted) by Bar Tartine chef Chris Kronner and Sean Rembold, chef of Diner in Brooklyn. Meatpaper has spearheaded the collaboration, and this is the second in a series (the first was hosted at Diner back in November). This is truly a once-in-a-long-while happening and promises to be a fun and festive evening.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- A local YMCA has named a new leader.
The J.M. Tull-Gwinnett YMCA on Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville recently named Kim Nelson as its new executive director. Nelson, who had served since 2007 as the associate executive director of a YMCA facility in Alpharetta, brings 12 years of professional experience to the job.
The Suwanee resident began her YMCA career in 2000 at the Ed Isakson-Alpharetta Family YMCA, as the children's services director. She was eventually promoted to the lead children's services director -- overseeing 24 after-school sites and year-round camp programs -- and then senior program director.
"My focus will be opening doors and opportunities for all," Nelson said in a news release. "We will continue to make a positive impact on children, teens, adults and local neighborhoods served by the Tull-Gwinnett YMCA."
Nelson received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Elon College in North Carolina. She is a former board member of the Rotary Club of North Fulton, a graduate of the "Leadership North Fulton" program and was a local school advisory committee business member.
She and her family have lived in Gwinnett for 15 years.

Take A Deep Breath
Jim Cramer said something on TV about selling financials. I do not know the entire context of what he had in mind but blowing out all of your stocks in that sector yesterday in reaction to American Home Mortgage without having probably heard of that stock or having decided in advance how to handle a crisis, or studied past crises is probably a bad idea.
I think the trigger points for panicked sales are lack of preparation and being unaware of the current events that threaten or move markets. I write a lot about removing emotion from managing your portfolio. Over time the market is guaranteed to go down every once in a while, guaranteed. And a little less frequently the market will go down 25% or so.
You know this will happen at some point (this is not a prediction of when). It makes sense to to understand a little bit about what has caused huge declines, understand a little bit about the difference between fast declines (like crashes) and slow declines (like in 2000). It also makes sense to understand the current events that could move the market now and understand how similar threats have moved the market in the past. This will help you make better decisions.
I alluded to this on Sunday night, I was trying to point out that avoiding being blindsided will help you not succumb to emotion. A reader put it best when he said being aware of what is going on goes a "LONG way towards eliminating the 'WTF happened?' thoughts" that come along every now and then.
As I mentioned the other day, if you have an exit strategy planned out from before the market hit the skids and you stick to it you will be calmer and realize that days like yesterday or weeks like this one past just come along every now and then.

Is all ok in Prescott? Looks like Scottsdale got pounded with rain
- Roger Nusbaum said...
I didn't see Scottsdale but we have had a lot of rain but I am not sure I would say it is any different than any other monsoon season in terms of how much rain.
We get a lot everyday but this year most of it comes late morning which is a little strange. Usually the heaviest rain would be late afternoon. - 7:17 AM
- RW said...
Nobody laugh but I'm seeing some large-cap growth resilience and I'm actually lightening up on a couple short positions here; interesting ...feels a little weird too but then I look at my ongoing shorts in the financial and homebuilder space and wonder if I should double down ...strange days.
- Anonymous said...
Are you talking about doubling down on the short side?
Friday should be a wild day with economic news - 10:04 AM
- Anonymous said...
OK so are we at the 200 DMA? Does this mean we should watch some percentage of the public reduce the equities in their portfolio and just take a deep breath?
This is more than jitters, more than subprime, and is going to cause some pain. - 10:20 AM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
THe exact way I do this is on whatever day we close below the 200 DMA I wait until the following day. If that is an up day (fingers crossed) I place no trades.
If the day after is a down day I would take action toward the end of that second day.
I have one stock I would sell across the board picked out and ready to go if need be and I am taking a little time to assemble how much double short to buy for each client.
I may do either or both. - 10:28 AM
- Anonymous said...
"Actual performance of weaker Alt-A loans...Absent strong compensating factors, we will model these loans as subprime loans."
The above statement is from Moody's. So the problem seems to be contiually growing. It feels like drip, drip, drip at this point. I would plan on this continuing into the fall if I were you. - 10:44 AM
- Anonymous said...
What a wild day.
I feel like a yo-yo. - 12:58 PM
- Anonymous said...
Roger, thanks for clarifying the execution of your exit strategy. Others who advocate a similar approach seem more trigger happy, which could entail multiple exits and re-entries during volatile periods like this. Raises commission and tax issues, of course.
- RW said...
Anon 10:04 I meant doubling down short on homebuilders and mortgage lenders but the point became moot pretty fast and I wound up mostly taking profits this morning instead; the intraday price ranges and volatility between 10:30 and 11:30 in particular were simply astounding, full blown panic selling followed by big snap backs (but not to previous opening levels). Interesting.
- Anonymous said...
I wonder if the last minute buying wasn't 401K buying, as it is August first. Then short covering as the shorts had to cover into the buying frenzy.
I say we head back down tomorrow into the close as I can't see how many people will want to hold into the economic data of Friday. - 5:54 PM

How can you guys stay calm in this meltdown, I was up 20% for the year two weeks ago and now I gave it all back in FIVE days. My portfolio is down 13% on the year now, arghhh. I hate markets controlled by greedy big bank$.

You were up 20% for the year and lost all the gains plus some more in 5 days on a roughly 5% market pullback?
You've got to be running a VERY AGGRESSIVE portfolio that is either using leverage, has big bets, high Beta, or loaded up on aggressive asset classes like emerging markets.
My advice to you would be to CAREFULLY think through what you are doing, and ask yourself, what if the market drops 10%, what if a bear market hits and the market is down 20%+. How much will you be down under those scenarios? Can you accept that? Use the past week as a potential learning lesson as to what changes you might need to make.
Frankly, last week was a NON-EVENT in my portfolio and those I manage. In fact, I was up in some portfolios. I have large positions in Berkshire Hathaway and Hussman Strategic Growth Fund which I consider highly defensive and performed very well last week. Additionally, I have a substantial allocation to commodities and one of the reasons is diversification and negative correlation, and commodities were actually up last week.
I think Roger often makes the excellent point about knowing what your portfolio is exposed to and how it will respond under different market conditions. In my case, I'll probably underperform in a huge up market but I'll outperform alot in a down market. That is a conscious decision on my part. Sounds like you are positioned to outperform in a rising market and get crushed in a down market. - 3:40 AM
- tom k said...
My timing model is now at 2.5 signaling a 100% long stance. 3 of the 4 sentiment models I follow are signaling levels of extreme pessimism consistent with intermediate market bottoms. That doesn't mean we've seen the absolute bottom for the cycle, but the odds are now in the bulls favor.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Former commissioner Roy Kramer remembers all the fretting when the Southeastern Conference started its own championship game two decades ago.
League coaches were especially worried, fearing an extra contest would make it harder to win a national title.
It sure didn't work out that way. The SEC has ruled like no other conference, capturing an unprecedented six straight national championships. Alabama will try to make it seven in a row when it takes on Notre Dame for the BCS crown Monday night in Miami.
In 2014, there will be another momentous change, spurred in part by the dominance down South. Undoubtedly, there are plenty of folks in the rest of the country hoping the four-team playoff will make it tougher for the SEC to pile up trophies with such regularity.

Sprint steers Samsung M400 toward seniors
The free-with-contract handset emphasizes ease of use over complexity.
If you're looking for a simple cell phone, it's hard to find one simpler -- or cheaper -- than the simple Samsung M400. The basic flip phone comes free with a new two-year service agreement, after a $50 mail-in rebate.
Related stories:
Features are intentionally sparse on the M400, and include a 2.4-inch internal display, large dial pad buttons, and emergency settings to call 911 and your selected ICE (in case of emergency) contacts.
Voice dialing is fairly standard on even the most straightforward of phones, but Samsung has added text-to-speech readout capability that voices a variety of information, including menus, text, phone numbers, and caller ID.

I knew he got his lobve for block chords from his mentor Darius Milhaud( one of his sons was named after the famous "les Six" composer). A friend of mine from conservatory had taken master classes with joe morello as well.
I had reasd of his refusal to play gigs in the 50s and 60 south where his bassist Gene Wright (the Senator) was not welcome. My deepest condolences to his family and yet the joy they must feel from the remembrance of having such a loving , inspirational and talented father, and grandfather,

Today I went to vote at Cider Mill at 4:00pm. I had 5 kids in the car with me. As we were pulling…Read More in, a car in front of us stopped, a young boy got out, and grabbed the sign of one of the presidential nominees out of the ground, threw it into the car and off the car went. Two of the boys in my car said that's "name" (a fellow eighth grade boy they go to school with in Wilton). I was watching in disbelief, not sure at first what was happening, once I realized, I was shocked (pretty brazen act to perform in front of polling place in the middle of the afternoon with so many people around). More shocking than a 13/14 year old boy pulling a political sign out of the ground (kids do foolish things) was the fact that he was being driven around by an adult, I would guess either his grandmother or babysitter. At first we thought to follow them, this was a felony after all, then I realized that would be setting a bad example for a car full of kids so we just discussed. Mainly we discussed how people can disagree with each other politically, and have respectful, thoughtful conversations. And how people who pull sign out of the ground are generally people you cannot have a thoughtful conversation with (kids want action and wanted to know what I planned to do about the offenders). I am hoping that this grandmother/babysitter sees this and maybe realizes the lesson they are teaching is not the right one about the political process, and life in general.

As I reported yesterday, the Greater Baltimore Committee (GBC) announced ambitious plans to transform downtown Baltimore and the Inner Harbor last night. They also released some pictures of what their proposed developments will look like, seen here.
The top photo shows perhaps the most intriguing of the proposals: a pedestrian bridge across the harbor, from Rash Field (near the Rusty Scupper) to Pier 5, where the Aquarium is. The bridge would create a 1.5-mile loop around the harbor that would undoubtably increase foot traffic and interest in the "far side" of the harbor, past the Science Center.
In the picture, you can see the Science Center as it currently stands in gray in the lower-right corner, and the re-designed Rash Field above it, with a playground next to green-and-white topped carousel, and a large green space with an amphitheater stage for concerts. The field could also be used for soccer and lacrosse games.
Just behind the stage, you can see where two paths cross. One leads to the footbridge over the harbor (with the two giant white posts that turn and open the bridge when large ships come into the port). The other leads to another footbridge over Key Highway, leading to the American Visionary Art Museum and Federal Hill Park—which currently feel disconnected and distant from the harbor—and further extending the size and continuity of the Inner Harbor area.
In yesterday's post, I included a view of the new arena/convention center from Conway Street, where the primary entrance to the arena will be. The second picture here shows the view from Pratt Street, where the main entrance to the expanded Baltimore Convention Center will be. It shows the modern glass-walled design, and the 50-story hotel in the background.
The last picture shows an overhead view of the proposed plans for the new arena and convention center. I think it's really interesting, because it shows how this project really brings together downtown Baltimore's two biggest attractions, Camden Yards and the Inner Harbor. The two attractions have always felt like two distinct destinations, not part of some more grand downtown area. I think this new proposal would change that, making the entire area, from the Aquarium (or even Harbor East) to the stadium feel like one, continuous area, full of attractions.
On the right side of the plan, you can see that the entrance to the new arena is just one block from Light Street and the harbor. Ideally, with the new development of the harbor, this side will feel more connected to Harborplace, the Aquarium and the attractions on the other side. And on the bottom left of the plan, the stadium is only a block from the convention center.
It's important to keep in mind that even the beginning of any of the projects is probably years away, but at least the GBC has come up with a feasible plan, with backing, that, if realized, could push Baltimore to a new level of attractiveness for tourism and residents, and boost the local economy dramatically. It's hard not to get excited about it.

Did you spend your Sunday distraught over Jay Cutler and the Bears or horrified by the atrocity that was Mean Girls 2? I know I'm not completely alone here but, being the diligent students you are, many of you were probably holed up in the library preparing for your first exam of the spring semester and quizzing yourself on key pieces of information. Good thing, as a new study says self-testing while studying is the best way to retain facts and figures.
The study, "Retrieval Practice Produces More Learning than Elaborative Studying with Concept Mapping," was conducted by Purdue's Jeffrey Karpicke and Janell R. Blunt and found that since learning is fundamentally about retrieving, practicing retrieval while studying is crucial to learning. The study focused on two groups of students (200 altogether) who were asked to read several paragraphs about differing scientific topics but one group was instructed to use the information to create a concept map and the other was told to put away their articles and spend 10 minutes writing what they recalled. When the students were tested on the same material one week later, the group that practiced retrieval retained 50 percent more information than those who engaged in concept mapping. Strangely, researchers also found that despite learning less, the students who engaged in concept mapping were more confident that they would remember the material than those who practiced retrieval while studying.
What's your preferred study method? Is it producing the results you want? Will you employ the retrieval method given this study's findings?

It may seem counterintuitive to work hard throughout high school, score well on your standardized tests, get accepted to your first-choice college and wrangle enough financial aid to pay for your education only to drop out before graduation but it does happen. What causes this academic 180? That's what researchers at Michigan State University revealed in a new study.
The team, led by MSU assistant professor of psychology Tim Pleskac, used a mathematical model to analyze surveys from 1,158 freshmen at 10 U.S. colleges and universities. The surveys listed 21 "critical events" and students were asked whether any of the events happened to them in the previous semester; later, the students surveyed were asked whether or not they planned to drop out. Among the top risk factors reported were depression, loss of financial aid, tuition increases, unexpected poor marks and roommate issues. Other "critical events" like family deaths, failure to get into a specific program of study, significant bodily injury and addiction, however, were less likely to impact a student's decision to leave school. "Prior to this work, little was known about what factors in a student's everyday life prompt them to think about withdrawing from college," Pleskac said. "We are now better suited to think about what students we should target in terms of counseling or other assistance to help them work through these issues."
Would any of the factors listed above effect your choice to drop out of college? If they did, do you think you would eventually return to obtain your degree?

It's April and a few things are on the rise: temperatures (yay!), gas prices (boooo!) and high school students' GPAs and success in difficult courses (yay again!).
The National Assessment of Educational Progress released its findings of typical high school students' grade point averages from 1990 to 2009. During that time, the average grade point average increased from 2.68 to 3.0 and the average number of credits also saw an uptick from 26.8 in 2005 to 27.2 credits in 2009. The reason? Researchers cite the importance of rigorous curriculum – highlighting upper-level math and science courses – as a key to greater achievement in high school.
Also included in the study is that 59 percent of students are graduating with accelerated classes on their transcripts and amped-up credits in the core courses of English, mathematics, science and social studies as well as electives like foreign languages, fine arts and computer-related classes. The students with earlier exposure to advanced curricula – specifically those who took algebra I in middle school and began high school with geometry – scored 31 points higher on the study's math assessment; that being said, male students generally scored higher average mathematics and science than their female counterparts but females had higher overall grade point averages – 3.10 versus 2.90.
With the increasingly competitive college application process and President Obama's call for an emphasis on education to keep America competitive with the rest of the world, these numbers are promising. High school students, are you taking more difficult courses to give colleges another reason to consider offering you admission? College students, did this method help you get into the college of your choice? Does anyone disagree completely based on personal experience?

I first was involved in an internship my junior year. I heard about positions open in the Special Operations department at Fort Bragg and since much of the base was near my campus in Fayetteville, I applied and did a series of interviews. After a lengthy security clearance, I was hired at USASOC Public Affairs. I was assigned to post news footage relevant to Army Special Operations on the Public Affairs web database as well as answer phones and set up equipment.
At first, I was highly disciplined and could easily balance arriving at work and class on time but as the weeks went on, my classwork became more difficult and I started coming to class late. It was a nearly 30-minute drive from campus to work and back and my grades did suffer that semester due to a lack of balance.
My internship went on into the summer so I stayed at a house with some of friends. I also began drinking, which negatively affected my performance. My internship ended in March after a full year and I graduated in May.
I did learn about the day-to-day operations and inner workings of the military but I regret some of the decisions I made, like failing to plan properly. I give this advice to any student seeking an internship: Make sure you don't overwork yourself and neglect academics and don't slack off because it will reflect poorly on your future career.
Thomas Lee recently graduated from Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina with a BA in political science and journalism. His father is an ordained Church of God minister and his mother is a private school teacher; he also has two younger sisters.

He currently resides in Washington, North Carolina and will be attending law school in the near future.

Imagine studying hard, taking AP classes and earning a stellar GPA for four years and having that hard work pay off by being named the valedictorian of your class. Sounds like a dream, right? Not necessarily. Just ask Carolyn Fine.
Fine received the news that she'd been selected as Vacaville High School's valedictorian and but her heart sank when she found out the date of the graduation ceremony: It was scheduled to take place on the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, a day prohibiting the use of anything requiring electricity until after sunset. This meant she would not be able to use a microphone during her speech, drive to the ceremony or pose for pictures in her cap and gown after receiving her diploma. Fine spent the next few weeks struggling to decide between honoring her faith and delivering her valedictory address and ultimately decided the former was more important. Admiring her choice, school administrators offered a solution to satisfy all parties. "They prerecorded my speech and they are going to play that while I'm standing up there," Fine said. "It was a tremendous relief. It seemed like I had reached a compromise where I could keep to my faith and accept this, because it's a huge honor."
What would you have done in Fine's situation – honored your faith or given the speech using a device powered by electricity?

When I first arrived at college, joining a fraternity – or getting involved with anything remotely connected with Greek life – was the furthest thing from my mind. Little did I know that by the end of 2007, I would be one of the founding pledge members of the Methodist University chapter of Kappa Sigma. The first members at a new school are known as Founding Fathers, of which I was one, and our training is known as pledging. My new fraternity brothers and I were pledges for a full academic year until our induction in 2008.
If you are considering joining a Greek organization, fraternity or sorority, there are multiple things you must consider. First is how much being involved will affect your schoolwork. I was able to maintain a high GPA while still being scholarship coordinator for the chapter until the summer I lived with some of my brothers.
Second, determine how much Greek life will affect your personal life. I didn't really start partying until that summer and it negatively impacted my academics and social life. You should determine whether or not joining a Greek society will subject you to peer pressure or negatively influence your values.
Third, price is a major factor and you should not rush if you cannot afford to pay dues. My fees became more expensive with each year and I could only afford them with the money I made doing a paid internship.
Going Greek does have many benefits, such as gaining friends and valuable networking contacts that you might not have encountered otherwise. I spent time with golf students and athletes that I would have otherwise never met. Greek life may also help you overcome personal biases. All in all, while fraternity life was both a blessing and a curse, I do not regret my decision to join and have made some lifelong friends and brothers along the way.

On the first day of class, professors usually pass out detailed syllabi that provide valuable information such as grading scales, what materials will be needed and what topics will be covered during the semester. There is one more piece of helpful information that most students overlook despite the fact that it's normally displayed at the very top of the page: the location of the professor's office and what days and times they will have office hours.
Although professors have office hours, most students do not take advantage of them. I just completed my third year of college and I have lost track of the number of emails that I have received from professors practically begging students to stop by during their office hours with any type of question. Most professors are also willing to accommodate students if their class and extracurricular schedules do not allow them to come during regular office hours but only a handful of students seize this opportunity by the end of the semester.
I have always taken advantage of office hours to make sure that I understand every assignment clearly. I have often noticed that professors tend to be more favorable towards students who come to their office hours because they seem to be the ones that care about their performance in class the most. I also get the one-on-one help I need and always do extremely well on assignments I ask questions about.
My advice to any college student is to take advantage of office hours. The professor gets to know you personally and notices that you care about your grade. Also, don't wait until the end of the semester to show up with concerns; there's not much that can be done by you or the professor if issues are being addressed this late in the game.

It's 6 a.m. and you just can't conquer the writer's block for your 20-page term paper. You didn't procrastinate on purpose – that party was too good to pass up or the homework for all your other classes was overwhelming – but no matter what the reason, it is never acceptable to cheat. Cheating undermines the effort of your hard-working classmates who complete their work honestly and on time. Cheating also strips the cheater of his or her integrity and whether others can put their trust in said person again.
Unfortunately, there are many people who cheat in the world but you should not be one of them. You should want to get by on your own merit, not that of others. That is why there are such harsh penalties for cheaters: When a person plagiarizes in college or is caught cheating, punishments can include being given a GPA-tanking "F" in the class, being stripped of high honors, losing scholarships or even being expelled from the university. These are minor punishments compared to what happens in the real world for cheating, which could include multi-million dollar lawsuits and jail time.
I think I've been pretty clear here but I haven't, just heed these two words: NEVER CHEAT. It's not ethical and is looked down upon by almost everyone. Hold your head high and remember that doing your best and failing is better than cheating and passing. A professor would have more respect in you if you are honest and ask for help rather than if they catch you cheating. Professors were once college students, too; if you need an extension or are truly struggling, they will most likely remember their own college days and show you some compassion if you are truthful.
Radha Jhatakia is a communications major who will be transferring to San Jose State University this fall. She's had some ups and downs in school and many obstacles to face; these challenges – plus support from family, friends and cat – have only made Radha stronger and have given her the experience to help others with the same issues. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, reading, cooking, sewing and designing. A social butterfly, Radha hopes to work in public relations and marketing upon graduation.

Do you know who becomes our nation's leader if the current president and vice president should both die? Who said "Give me liberty or give me death?" Not sure of the answers? Neither are American students.
According to the 2010 National Assessment of Educational Progress test – an exam that measures proficiency in mathematics, reading, history, science, writing, the arts, civics, economics and geography – American students just aren't "getting" American History. The results revealed high school seniors have the worst grasp on the subject with an 87-percent failure rate, followed by eighth graders (82 percent) and fourth graders (78 percent). These marks should be cause for parent-teacher conferences...except when the CBS affiliate in Boiling Springs, South Carolina asked locals some sample exam questions, not one person could answer how many justices sit on the U.S. Supreme Court or name the Chief Justice and only one person could name South Carolina's two U.S. Senators and who American patriots fought against in the Revolutionary War.
Sure, not everyone is a history major and most people don't have careers requiring the recollection of these facts on a daily basis but being informed about the country you call home is never a bad thing. Check out some of the questions here then tell us what you would do to increase these unsatisfactory scores.

It's happened to all of us. We feel the vibration of our phones in our pockets or notice them light up on our desks, informing us that we've just received text messages. We instantly feel inclined to read the message; while some students read and respond in a discreet way so that they appear to still be paying attention in class, others choose to reply while sitting on the front row or get up to answer a call that is not an emergency.
There are a select number of professors who do not care if you text in class. They figure if you want to miss out on something important to respond to a text that only read LOL then you will have to suffer the consequences alone. However, texting during class is a major pet peeve of many professors and they are taking note of how much you text even if they do not say anything about it to you personally. When it comes time to discuss your grade or any problems that you have been having in class, your professor may be unwilling to help if you spend most of their class texting than learning.
All professors understand that students have emergencies in which they must keep their phone on or even answer it during class but doing so excessively can earn you negative attention. You also run the risk of missing out on important facts that will only be mentioned once during the lecture. It is next to impossible to prevent texting 100 percent but students should try to cut back - you never know when you will run into a teacher who will ask you to leave the class because of excessive texting. Doubt that will make you ROTFL!

30MHz Oscilloscope w/Frequency Counter In addition to conventional scope functions, this model includes a five digit LCD digital display, showing frequency, voltage and time base of the inputted signal. Additionally, the Auto Time Base function automatically selects the appropriate horizontal time base for waveform display. An internal alarm advises the user when vertical/horizontal setting reaches the min or max boundary.
After 2 years, the LCD display started messing up. At first it was one or two pixels, and now I can't tell the numbers apart. It is out of warranty. MCM says that there are no replacement parts. The Display card has TM5429 V1.3 on the part, but they cannot get it. So, I have no choice but to buy a new oscilloscope. It will not be a Tenma.
I bought this scope for its X-Y function to use with a curve tracer to test FETs. The built in frequency counter was also important to me. Two things they don't mention are also excellent features: 1) channel gains are shown in the lighted freq counter window so you don't have to look at the knobs, and 2) the Auto Timebase button changes the sweep frequency to match the input signal so you see 2 or 3 cycles, and sweep time base is also shown in the window. Great scope, I recommend it.

Very nice product for the price. Adjusts to two heights - convenient.
Bought this swing for my newborn, put him in it the 1st time when he was about 6 weeks old & it worked fine (brand new batteries.) Tried again a few days later & it never would swing him right again. It barely moves though it makes alot of racket like it's trying to. I was very disappointed & ended up having to buy another swing for him.
It didnt really swing it just kind of jerked? not sure if it was supposed to do more?
Nice baby swing, bought it for my grandson as a watch him everyday. I like the construction and the way it stands. Baby can't tip over.
I bought this swing for the Mrs. because she was looking for "extra" hands for the little one. If you want an affordable swing that does its job...then it is ok to buy this. However, you will go thru a lot of batteries and you will need them to to have at least half a charge or more for the motion to actually look like it is doing what it is supposed to do. The features say that this swing has 5 speeds. At fully charged batteries, we could only notice two. If you hit the adjustment latches in the front (or if anyone does), the swing collapses down a level...It will freak you out when it first happens. Makes you think the swing is falling apart. It is not as sturdy as the photo seems. In my advice, spend the extra bucks to get a better swing and does what it states it does and you will probably not be in the market of trying to purchase a new swing like we are.

I'll Believe It When I'm Shooting Them Out Of The Sky: Iffy Autonomous Quadrocopter Taco Delivery Service
Those aren't f***ing tacos -- that's a clown nose, dummy!
Allegedly (and I stress allegedly HARD and in a real husky voice that makes you weak in the knees and pee a little), a startup in San Francisco wants to sell Mexican food and make deliveries with the use of an autonomous quadrocopter. Obviously, it'll never happen because I'll lure all the unsuspecting taco-copters into a warehouse and then beat them with a stick. It's too easy! PLUS BURRITOS. But seriously, the logistics behind an operation like this sound like a nightmare. People stealing your copters, copters crashing into people and causing accidents -- the possibilities are endless. That said, if the service actually does get off the ground, I'll eat my words. Jk jk -- NACHOS. "Hey GW -- that's nat-cho cheese!" Ahahahahaha -- they're not my chips either but f*** my roommate!
Thanks to the TOASTer, Naterade and MacLean/Renegade, who get their tacos delivered the old fashioned way: on the back of a donkey.

The prestigious Ashford Castle in County Mayo, Ireland, one of the United Kingdom's most impressive historic estates, recently celebrated its 75th anniversary as a luxury hotel. It did so by recreating a famed hunting party held for the Prince of Wales on the castle's grounds in 1905. Now a five-star member of the Leading Hotels of the World, the castle was first built on the estate in 1228 by the Anglo-Norman family, House of Burke. It has been rebuilt several times over the decades and ultimately becoming a world-class hotel in 1939.

When our pioneering forefathers arrived on American shores, they left the Mayflower in a tragic state.

When only half of the original crew made it to the New World, an Abenaki Indian greeted them in their native tongue of English. Days later, he returned with Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe, who was sold into slavery to an English sea captain.... Read More

TWD – Tuesdays with Dorie
Buttermilk Scones
We enjoyed these scones quite a bit. I used orange zest and cranberries. I think I mixed mine a bit too much. They were ever so slightly tough, but still good. I usually gather my scone dough, and then put it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to hydrate a bit, just like when making a pie dough. This helps the dough come together with less kneading. I should have followed my usual procedure. Ah, well.

WHEELING, W.Va. - The chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives is coming to Wheeling.
Father Patrick Conroy will speak at Wheeling Jesuit University on Nov. 5 about how he landed that job, his experiences there, and his goals in serving legislators, their staffs and their families.
American lawmakers have had a chaplain since 1774, when the Continental Congress chose an Episcopalian priest to open its sessions with prayer.
The House chaplains also open each session of Congress, schedule guests and arrange funerals for House members and staff.
Conroy is the first Jesuit to hold the post.
He grew up in Arlington, Va., but attended high school in Washington state. He has degrees from five colleges and universities.
Conroy was ordained to the priesthood in 1983.

cold and dry, strong wind in southern France that blows down from the north along the lower Rhone River valley toward the Mediterranean Sea. It may blow continuously for several days at a time, attain velocities of about 100 km (60 miles) per hour, and reach to a height of 2 to 3 km. It is strongest and most frequent in winter, and it sometimes causes considerable damage to crops. The velocity of the wind is intensified as it blows down from the highlands to the coast and by the "jet effect" that results as it is funneled through the narrow Rhone valley.

Extraterrestrial life has never been this cuddly!
Leighton Meester's dog Trudy channeled her inner E.T. in a photo the actress shared on Instagram on Tuesday.
"Alien dog gets a bath. No reaction," Meester wrote with the pic of the longhaired dachshund sopping wet in a sink and seemingly unamused by the impromptu scrub.
If Trudy was lucky, that bath also included a special lullaby: Meester, 27, told PEOPLE in 2011 she has a special song she sings for her pooch.
"The only lyrics to it is, 'Trudy, she's a dog,'" the actress said. "It's very melodic and she loves it. She knows it's her song."
