Myself and my friend travelled to Bideford, we had a wonderful 4 days, everything was just perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for our driver. This was my first time on a coach holiday but I hope first of many and I look forward to booking with you again in the future.
Thank you for a lovely weekend in Weymouth. Everything was first class. Coach on time, driver helpful and very kind. Hotel room comfy and clean, staff great, entertainment brilliant, food faultless...
Just to say how much we enjoyed our holiday last week (Isle of Man). From the excellent hotel, food, staff and entertainment great!... It was our first holiday with you, but it certainly will not be the last.
We would like to thank you for a wonderful 2 day tour with your company (Cotswolds)... really good safe driver... hotel was excellent, lovely food and very helpful staff. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, are looking forward to our next one and will recommend you to all our friends. Thank you once again.
We would like to thank you for two recent most enjoyable breaks to Bideford and Street.... we've recommended GB Tours to our friends, so hopefully there will be more arranged from Norfolk. Keep up the good work.

you may want to consider using World of Logs (worldoflogs.com).
It does it for you as long as someone runs the reports each time you guys raid.
I would like to set up a spreadsheet that will track guildies attendance and give a over all percentage for each member's attendance. I have no idea how to set this up. Does anyone have a example attendance spreadsheet template to share or any ideas where to get this info at? Was planing on using Google Docs.
you may want to consider using World of Logs (worldoflogs.com).
It does it for you as long as someone runs the reports each time you guys raid.
WoL does have attendance chart, but it's not very good in a sense that you can't do manual corrections in the player attendance lists and you cannot pick and choose which raids count for attendance. We pull the attendance figures and percentages from DKP system.
Crommi | Archaic Order | Lightning's Blade EU
You can use add ons like 'Raid Tracker' to gather the info. Some of them allow you to export the data on a text file, which you can then dump into an Excel spreadsheet. To calculate the percentage attended, simply divide the days attended by the total number of days. for example: ProtWarr attended 18 of 21 raids: 18/21 = 85.714... so his attendance us 85.7%.
my guild does an attendance over 3 month system. and anyone over 40% attendance is a raider. u get .5 if u leave early in a raid and 1 if u stay for the whole thing (also 1 if theres to many people and they need to leave u out) theres 2 attendance blocks a night (one at beginning and one in middle) and i think its calculate as above but it would be something like -- Player attends 60/80 raids in the past 3 months so 75%
Iguess if you use any lootsystem other then lootcouncil there might be sort of a tracking addons you can have on the side.
We use EPGP and there is an aditional addon that track the attendance once you are doing the ontime bonus etc.
However, We just made it quite simple. We have 100% attendance, If ppl can't make a raid they must write a post on our forum and state their reasons. Then we will change his invite status on calendar to "OUT" To check the attendance you simply just glance trough the forum,
And as well you can see all the reasons for not showing up.
The flaw in your design is that a spreadsheet can't accurately represent the multiple dimensions of data involved, rather it is better represented in a relational database structure. Often times what guilds will do is use addons which track information such as loot system and attendence tracking addons, and incorporate that into websites of their own creation that can import the raw data into a relational database structure for more intelligent reporting.
"In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage." /w TankSpot WTB Montage for Raiders.
Do you use epgp or another form of dkp? If you insert the EP value at the start of the month and the start of next month, calculate EP earned over the month with average decay *number of weeks and difference in ep value, then divide it by the maximum EP earned you have percentage of attendance.
Very little work you have to input the values once a month, just have to setup the names of your raiders and 2-3 formulas but that's easily done.

Previous section: The Game

A rugby team is split into eight forwards and seven backs, and these two units fulfill two very distinct roles. As such they tend to have different physical strengths and weaknesses – the forwards generally possess more power, strength and physical presence, while the backs can boast speed, acceleration and creativity.
As former Australian international Patrick Fitzsimmons summed it up: "Rugby backs can be identified because they generally have clean shirts and identifiable partings in their hair. Forwards are gnarled and scarred creatures who have a propensity for running into and bleeding all over each other."
At the highest level of the modern game the physical distinction between forwards and backs has become more blurred as each set of players has become more mobile and more physical respectively. However, there are still very well defined differences in the roles that individual players have within the team. The navigation panel on the left provides a basic guide to each position and outlines the natural attributes that each player needs to excel.

Mendelssohn: Violin Concertos
Studio Master: CDA67795 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Movement 1: Allegro molto appassionato
Movement 2: Andante
Movement 3: Allegretto non troppo Allegro molto vivace
The placement of the cadenza was one novelty that influenced later composers (notably Sibelius in his violin concerto of 1903). Another was the remarkable opening of Mendelssohn's concerto, which inverts the traditional tutti–solo arrangement, so that at the outset the soloist introduces the pensive theme, set high above a rustling orchestral accompaniment, that eventually builds and spills over into the delayed orchestral tutti. This device spawned many imitations, and arguably influenced some composers usually not at all associated with Mendelssohn's refined romanticism (for example Rachmaninov and Bartók, in their third piano concertos).
Like Mendelssohn's two completed piano concertos, Opp 25 and 40, Op 64 is in three movements connected by two transitions, a design that traces its lineage from Carl Maria von Weber's Konzertstück for piano and orchestra of 1821, which features four compact, connected movements. The passionate, agitated quality of Mendelssohn's first movement gives way to a warmly lyrical, Lied-ohne-Worte-like slow movement in C major. Only its contrasting middle section, which turns to A minor, recalls in its quivering tremolos something of the character of the first movement. The brisk E major finale, announced by celebratory wind fanfares, offers a capricious scherzo that unfolds as a rondo on two alternating themes—the first, a fleet-footed, delicate figure in the solo violin, and the second, a march-like subject that impresses perhaps as a nimble cousin of the contemporaneous Wedding March in the Midsummer Night's Dream incidental music. Mendelssohn's irrepressible finale harnesses an effervescent virtuosity to a clear, translucent design at once satisfying in its unexpected excursions and formal balance.

WASHINGTON - The Dominion Virginia Power company sent 1,500 of its workers to New Jersey on Friday morning to help fellow utility companies up north after the company restored power to its last batch of Virginia customers.
In the aftermath of superstorm Sandy, the Dominion workers are returning the favor by other power companies that have helped the Washington region after major storms like this summer's derecho.
Dominion Construction Manager Jeff Malaby describes power restoration as a "brotherhood" and that power systems up and down the East Coast look "relatively the same" which helps the pitching in effort.
"There is a culture amongst linemen," says Malaby. "We provide an absolute necessity to the customer base and the customer base usually welcomes us with open arms."
Even though the workers expect to face danger, Dominion groundsman Dwight Brown says, "All of us knew that when we signed up for this line of work, there would be events like this where we would be out of town and away from our families for extended periods of time so we are mentally prepared for it."
Brown is one of the crew members headed north.
Six trucks of local Red Cross workers and supplies headed to West Virginia on Friday as well. Some workers expect to stay two weeks to assist parts of West Virginia that saw three feet of snow, flooding and power outages.
The emergency response trucks left the Red Cross Regional Disaster Coordination Center in Fairfax, Va. carting food, water and other supplies to the West Virginia residents displaced by Sandy.
"A lot of people have already gone up to New York and New Jersey and those regions but a lot of people didn't notice the snow that had hit West Virginia," says Rebecca Callahan of the Red Cross.
Thousands of people are currently in shelters in West Virginia and the number is growing of those affected in the state by superstorm Sandy.

The world's most upscale laundry bags made their way down the runway at Phoebe Philo's autumn show for Celine. Up close the cocooning coats, funnel necked tunics and A-line skirts split up one side to the thigh were clearly far from cheap and cheerful. Instead, and true to the ethos of this label, they were doubtless made of the most expensive weave money can buy.
This was a beautiful show, inspired, if the picture books left on seats were anything to go by, by Flemish Old Master portraiture and lightly cloudy blue skies.
The colours were some of the most delicate of the season - cream, ivory, rose and primrose yellow. The fabrics were light and subtly fluffy of the sort it would be tempting to stay home and cuddle oneself in. Talking of cuddling, sleeves were wrapped and loosely knotted around slender torsos: a soft and very human touch.
Philo's gentle influence has been seen all across other designers' catwalks for years now. True to her vision this was a discreet move forward more than a whimsical about turn: she understands her customer and is happy for her to build a wardrobe around her clothes rather than rethink her look on a six monthly basis.
The low slung and wide half belts at the back of voluminous coats are a signature by now as is the moulded circular sleeve and shift dress: the latter looked wonderful in dove grey flannel and with oversized curved pockets in which hands would always be warmed.

Capital Formation and the Fiscal Cliff
November 26, 2012
Choose your language
Your Perception Is Your Reality
Growth = Population Growth + Productivity Increases
Reduced Capital Spending
Bismarck, DC, New York, and Europe
In today's economic environment, we often complain about volatility and uncertainty, but there is one thing I think we can be fairly certain of: taxes are going up. I constantly try to impress upon my kids, most of whom are now adults, that ideas and actions have consequences. In today's letter we will look at some of the consequences of an increase in taxes. Please note that this is different from arguing whether taxes should rise or fall. For all intents and purposes that debate is over. As investors, our job is to deal with reality. We must play the hand we are dealt. Taxation is a complex issue, but let's see if a few word pictures can help us understand what we face.
Two quick notes to begin with. The full video interview with David Krone and Rob Lehman, the chiefs of staff for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), two of the key figures in the current budget negotiations, is now available online. This was not a debate but a thoughtful exchange of ideas and positions that occurred as part of our recent Post-Election Economic Summit. It is helpful to recognize that negotiations over the fiscal cliff were being conducted weeks before the election. Everyone knew what was coming, and the very professional staffs that are charged with coming up with a reasonable resolution to the issue were already hard at work, knowing that there would be a lot still to do after the election. Krone and Lehman are two men at the very center of that debate.
If you want to get some real insight into the congressional process, this is an excellent way to do it. I'm grateful that they agreed to sit down for this rather unprecedented sort of interview. You can watch the full interview. You can also view an edited version of the entire Post Election Summit, with Mohamed El-Erian, Dr. Gary Shilling, Rich Yamarone, Barry Ritholtz, Jim Bianco, Barry Habib, and myself. It has been getting rave reviews, and I trust it will be worthy of your time.
I'm also pleased to announce that my very good friend Dr. Lacy Hunt has agreed to do a special Fireside Chat with me on December 4. Regular readers of Outside the Box are quite familiar with Lacy. As always, we will cover a wide variety of topics, but I'll make a point of getting his views on where the economy will be going for the next few years. Lacy is one of the finest economists I know. I am always amazed at the breadth of his knowledge and the depth of his insight. This webinar will be available to members of the Mauldin Circle. If you have already joined, you will get a notice of the event details. If you have not yet joined, you can go to www.mauldincircle.com. This webinar is sponsored by my partners at Altegris Investments and is for accredited investors. (In this regard I am president and a registered representative of Millennium Wave Securities, LLC, member FINRA.) Now, shall we dive off the fiscal cliff?
Your Perception Is Your Reality
There's a very interesting article in The Atlantic this week, called "How Partisans Fool Themselves Into Believing Their Own Spin." While the author, Alesh Houdek, engages in some spin of his own, he makes some very good points that we should keep in mind not only as we look at the potential effects of a tax increase but as we tackle new ideas and accompanying "facts"…

The standard treatment for transitional cell carcinoma (a cancer of the bladder, ureter, urethra, or kidney) includes the drugs gemcitabine and cisplatin. In this study, researchers want to know if adding the drug bevacizumab to this regimen can help patients with inoperable or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma live longer.
Bevacizumab is already approved for treating advanced cancers of the colon, brain, kidney (renal cell), and lung, but its use for transitional cell cancers is considered investigational. It inhibits the development of the blood vessels that tumors need to grow and spread by blocking a protein called VEGF.
Patients in this study will be randomly assigned to receive gemcitabine/cisplatin/bevacizumab or gemcitabine/cisplatin/placebo.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Jonathan Rosenberg at 646-422-4461.

The structure of the De Profundis is remarkable, both in itself and for what it presages in Liszt's symphonic thinking: the piece is a vast sonata movement, containing a slow movement, itself based on the plainsong which does duty for the second subject, and a contrasting scherzo in the form of a polonaise, and ending with a coda based on the slow movement but transformed into a march.
The principal tonality is D minor, but the slow movement is in A flat and the polonaise is in C sharp minor. The difficult question in terms of the serious nature of the work is how to account for the presence of the polonaise. There is certainly nothing in the text of the psalm to account for it. Had the piece come from Liszt's later life it would be easy to see a tribute to the Princess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein. Here it is more puzzling, but the whole section suggests a capitulation to worldliness not unlike the temptations of Faust by Mephistopheles—Berlioz had introduced Liszt to Gérard de Nerval's French translation of the first part of Goethe's play in December, 1830—which are rejected by the sterner stuff of the main material, and which are prefaced by the extremely softened version of the melody advanced by the slow movement—possibly a premonition of Gretchen in the Faust Symphony, and certainly in the same key. It may not be too wide of the mark to see the Faust programme in the whole work—brooding, questioning, prayer, temptation and redemption are all in the piece—alongside the cry of the psalmist for God's forgiveness:
Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord : Lord, hear my voice.
O let thine ears consider well : the voice of my complaint.
If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss : O Lord, who may abide it?
For there is mercy with thee : therefore shalt thou be feared.
I look for the Lord ; my soul doth wait for him : in his word is my trust.
My soul fleeth unto the Lord : before the morning watch, I say, before the morning watch.
O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy : and with him is plenteous redemption.
And he shall redeem Israel : from all his sins. (Psalm 130 [Vulgate 129])
The work unfolds at an unhurried pace: the opening Andante presents two motifs—the first in octaves in the bass, the second in thirds in the piano. These alternate until the piano plays the first of several cadenzas, where the music is reminiscent in harmony and shape to the first of the Apparitions of the previous year. The orchestra returns and the material reaches its first great climax, before subsiding to the opening phrase over a timpani pedal D in an attempt to re-establish the tonic key of D minor. When that tonality arrives, it is with a brisk new theme of repeated notes first announced by the violas, and the orchestra develops the material sequentially until F major is reached, and with it the plainsong De Profundis appears for the first time. It must be said that this theme has not been located by the present writer outside the works of Liszt, and although Liszt reminds Lammenais in the letter quoted above of their mutual interest in the theme which he describes both as a plainsong and as a faburden, it is not to be found in any of the traditional Catholic repositories of plainchant, nor does it resemble any of the chants commonly applied to this particular psalm. Perhaps the melody is of later origin, and is merely something which Liszt and Lammenais knew as the commonly performed music for the psalm at some time and place when they were together (and it may then be of an origin similar to that of the Psalm which Liszt transcribes in the Album d'un voyageur, or of the Miserere—another psalm, of course—of the Harmonies poétiques et religieuses). In any case, the melody as such contains but five notes—the first is heard twenty-one times in succession, the second and the fourth ten times each, and the third, like the fifth, once only. The harmony may originate in some psalter, too, but Liszt is happy to vary the mode—the orchestra gives the whole verse in F major, then the piano plays alone in F sharp minor, at which point the Latin text of the first two verses is overlaid:
De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine : Domine exaudi vocem meam.
Fiant aures tuae intendentes : in vocem deprecationis meae.
After a restatement of the psalm by piano and winds a long development section ensues in which the psalm rhythm is often applied to the accompaniment of the opening material, culminating in a close with four mighty E flats from the depths of the piano. The slow movement begins with a piano cadenza for which some of the material of the very first cadenza provides the springboard, but which is interspersed with phrases of the psalm, now in A flat major. Finally a new melody of disarming beauty emerges, clearly derived from the psalm, and at the end of the cadenza this is taken up by divided strings and piano. After a full close comes the scherzo in the style of a polonaise—except that it keeps sidestepping the traditional 3/4 for passages in 2/4. The form of this section is: polonaise; episode in 2/4; trio melody in A major; polonaise first variation; 2/4 episode first variation; brief quotation of psalm theme; trio first variation in B flat minor/major; truncated polonaise second variation; 2/4 episode second variation; trio second variation in D flat major; development of polonaise with psalm rhythm and main material leading to the recapitulation proper. This section is greatly telescoped, and we arrive quickly at the reprise of the psalm theme from the full orchestra, thence into a modulatory episode (with the soloist) which emerges in D major, with the concluding march. As we have seen, the march takes the slow movement melody as its basis, but after its mightiest statement it subsides over a timpani roll to the concluding phrases which combine fragments of the psalm with the march rhythm to end the work with a quieter confidence.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert.
In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Learn about a host of diabetes-related topics such as how many Americans suffer from this disease to how to easily adjust to a new diet after diagnoses. This section will provide you with the information you need to make informed dietary decisions regarding diabetes.
Our meal plan is ideal for people with diabetes, because it contains adequate protein, low fat, and low glycemic load foods that taste great. Did we mention that it's also gourmet?
Diabetes and snacking.
A lot of people ask if they really need to eat the snacks, either because they are not hungry, or they believe them to be extra calories. Their thought process follows the logic that by cutting the snack, they will lose weight faster. Eating the snacks provided in your BistroMD meal plan is very important, as is eating protein roughly every 3-4 hours in order to keep blood sugars stable. This also ensures an adequate caloric intake, and keeps your metabolism from dropping.
If you are on medication to treat diabetes, and lower your blood sugar, you may need a lower dose of medication to avoid hypoglycemia. This is most important for diabetics who take insulin, or oral medications such as sulfonaureas, which cause your body to release more insulin. Some of my patients have discontinued taking large doses of insulin entirely as they follow the meal plan. Please note that hypoglycemia is life-threatening. If it occurs while driving, you could get into an accident. Please discuss any attempts at dieting with your physician, especially if you take insulin or medications such as: Amaryl, Diabeta, Glipizide and many others for diabetes. If you have a blood glucose meter, make sure to use it regularly to determine if your blood sugar is falling, as this requires a decrease in your medication. As always consult your physician before making any changes. Weight loss is a lifestyle change that people with diabetes can make in order to improve diabetes and decrease the need for medication.
An important consideration is that some people with diabetes develop a kidney disease called diabetic nephropathy. People with nephropathy may require a reduction in their dietary protein intake. Please check with you doctor to determine if this meal plan is suitable for you with your medical conditions.
A break-down of the carbohydrate, protein, and fat for each day of the meal plan is listed below for your convenience in communicating with your doctor.
BistroMD meal plans average 1200 to 1400 calories per day. Of this:
20-25% of calories are from fat (25-35 grams of fat per day)
30-35% of calories from carbohydrates (90-110 grams per day)
40-45% of calories from protein (120-140 grams of protein per day)
Just answer a few questions to figure out your weight loss goals and we'll provide
solutions to help you achieve life-transforming wellness. Our diet delivery program
is a real life tool to help you lose weight.

Inventor of first practical transistor dead at 91
Morgan Sparks, inventor of the first "practical" transistor and one of the reasons your cell phone doesn't use vacuum tubes, died this week at the age of 91. He received clearance to that great national laboratory in the sky this Sunday at his daughter's home in California. Sparks worked for 30 years at Bell Laboratories, …
Solid state a lot older than that
Hats off the the transistor bods, but they were not the first to make solid state amplifiers.
Negative resistance amplifiers (basically tunnel diodes) were first discovered in the 1920s. Read http://home.earthlink.net/~lenyr/znrfamp2.htm for a kick off.
The equivalent valve technology (toooobs) were discovered around 1906.
Of course you would not want to use tunnel diodes in logic circuits because of their stability, but then you would not want to use a regular transistor either. All modern stuff uses FETs which came about a bit later.
They say that invention is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
It's the 1% that gets the accolades, because it is far more valuable.
Post war Scientific and social revolution
When Sparks was developing his exotic electronic sandwiches over 20 states in the US forbade mixed (inter racial) marriages by law with jail terms for transgressors.
A position unchanged until 1967 when the State of Virginia was overuled by the Supreme Court in 1967 (Loving Virginia) in the case of Mrs Loving who also died lied last week.
By then the little village of Langley ,VA. had enthusiastically supported and harnessed the power and utility of Spark's pioneering design and methods of doping germanium.
Bell Labs may remember Mr. Heil
They took the transistor from Mr. Heil and mass produced it as he did not have the money when he invented it on 1934.
My teacher at Stevens Institute of Technology back in the 70's worked for Bell labs for 15 years and knew of the way it went down and admitted that they wouldn't have gotten credit for it if Mr. Heil had the money to produce it himself.
@ Charles Manning
It's an obit, not a history lesson. RIP
Not invention, discovery
The transistor, the bi-polar junction etc were not 'inventions' they were discoveries.
So, he would have been
one of the Bright Sparks then?
@ Kenny
It's an invention. He didn't move a stack of papers and find a transistor hiding underneath.
The principles behind transistors were of course discoveries, but the design and construction of anything is an invention.
Paris because I'm sure she's discovered a lot of things over the years.
@Kenny Millar
The physics behind them were discoveries, but turning that physical effect into a practical and useful device is invention.
>Not invention, discovery
Yes, because they discovered transistorite, the naturally occurring mineral that contains bi-polar junctions.
The mines in the US rapidly ran dry in the 80's then Taiwan and Japan, now the only known source is China where they are carved from the bedrock by pygmies to keep the size down.
Some people think this stuff is manufactured!
@ Charly
Poor effort mate as this chap was the inspiration for that phrase in the first place!
The 1st transistor? Not so.
A U.S. patent 1,745,175, taken out Jan 28 1930, and filed in 1926, for "Method and Apparatus for Controlling Electric Currents", clearly and unequivocably describes the NPN transistor. The semiconductor, in this case being Copper Sulphide. doped, it is thought with Aluminium. There has been speculation that the later team knew of this earlier work, but went on regardless to claim the invention of the transistor. Quite rightly, I suppose, since they invented the name. The preamble to the patent clearly describes its use in communications, its use as a relay or amplifier.
(I imagine someone could do better)
Looks like he ran out of gain!
He saturated!
He recombinated in the ultimate junction!
All your base (and emitter and collector) are belong to him!
I have better stop in case someone suspects me of being bipolar!
@G R Goslin
I guess English isn't your first language...
From the article: 'inventor of the first >>>"practical"<<< transistor'
I've added some emphasis.
Germanium transistors
Hi, thought germaninum transistors were the first ones? Then Silicon transistors. Have may have been discoveries early but not developed in to a product. I remember my first two transistor radio I got in 1950's. It was all the rage to have one.
@ Tanya Cumpston
The 1% may be more valuable, but it almost never gets the accolades. Mathematical theorems, scientific discoveries, engineering breakthroughs are almost never named for or attributed to the people who had the inspiration. Rather it is the people who brought the inspiration to a wider audience by proving the theorem in a way accessible to most mathematicians, or who made the first easily deployed version of something, or who were the most effective self-promoters or worked for the firm with the most effective and motivated PR department that get the accolades. This is both historically grounded and personally experienced.
Those who make something practical are not necessarily the same as those who bring it to wider attention either. The accomplishments of Sparks are significant and not nearly as recognized as they should be.
@JonB@G R Goslin
"I guess English isn't your first language..."
Oh, I dunno, I always thought I could spikka da lingo as well as any other native of Nottingham.
The first "transistor" was hardly what you'd call <<<practical>>>, and the first generation of Germanium based devices had serious <<<practical>>> difficulties. The US Patent Office in the 1920's had a very good reputation of investigating applications for patents, far better than the travesty it is today, and was rather unlikely to have granted a patent for something demonstrably could not fulfill what was claimed. The story is that the world (and big business) simply was not ready for the transistor.
Just to note, it's been recent that IBM's been playing around with a new type of transistor for high-bandwidth WiFi networks. (Current ones run on 2.4 gHz, but this one may handle transmissions at 60gHz--it's just the volume that's the question. Enter the new transistors.)
Just lettin' you know--I think Sparky's happy to know that someone's *really* pushing his work now.
Transistors are from Earth???!?
Cummon.. everybody with less than half a brain knows that this stuff was scavenged from crashed UFOs. They crashed because silly aliens kept pulling the transistors out to put them in gift boxes.
Well not quite
Without looking it all up: the first transistors to be conceived were field-effect trannies, but the technology to produce a practical device was not available. The initial Bardeen bipolars were point-contact, and these were bloody useless (I have one or two p-c somewhere that I did not blow up by using them. All you had to do was frown, and they'd pop).
What this geezer did was to produce a *practical* device that could be manufactured in bulk - the junction trannie. They were still bloody useless - LF devices only. But they could be used in trannie sets :)
When the mesa and planar processes were developed later, you could get HF out of them. But once the junction FET could be made it started to take over - until IGFETs wiped it out.
And yes, there were plenty of semiconductor devices around before that, like the copper-oxide rectifiers and simple CuO amps, but they had a frequency response of up to a few Hz.
The germanium/geranium/silicon issue was due to the problems with the manufacture, until diffusion techniques were fully developed germanium was easier to work with and dope. Ge devices were not bad, they still are in use, esp. for rectification, but suffer from ready thermal runaway.
Sorry I'll shut up now...
@ Tanya Cumpston
Actually, it was Thomas Edison that said, "Invention is one percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration."
To which Nikola Tesla replied." If you thought more you wouldn't sweat so much."
Another early Transistor Example. (Also another Good Idea as bonus.)
Those who Google one T. Henry Moray's work on macro-magnetic field electro-resonance devices ("free" 'leccy drawn from a circuit built on Earth made to resonate with the Cosmos-scale tho' semi-subtle "Vibrations of the Spheres" (sic), more/less, per what I do grasp third-hand of Tesla's "Radiant Energy" hypothesis) will sooner or later scope out patent drawings and maybe a photo or two related to yet another apparent (tho' early) solid-state junction-based switching device. (Offhand, I suspect germanium due to the apparently high frequency being apparently switched, resonated and thus exploited.)
Dr. (PhD) Moray's little breadbox was apparently fitted with a ground rod, an antenna, and a "Bump-um-up" start-switch. It seems to have had a way of powering banks of lamps, multiple high-wattage heaters and suchlike *resistive* loads for indefinite periods, with no inclination toward overload or excessive heating-up on its own part. By the extant photos and descriptions of the nature of the light produced at his live demos, though, it seems quite clear that the as-delivered electrical fluid's base freq was likely much higher than our modern 50- or 60-cycle grids tend to provide today. Franlky, the effect looks to myself just like something a Tesla coil would produce if it rang like a bell, only with more amps and less volts.
Fatter wire, fewer turns, tuned just so... "Tickled" just so, like a resonance kick-start or a rubber hammer on the bell's rim... Hmmm...
The switching device, as illustrated on the sites I visited (you go too; kindly do!) looked (to myself) like a somewhat crude and certainly sizeable (as well as arguably effective) germanium (I deduce; crystal-based, anyway) switching device encapsulated in a blown glass envelope, when I first started puzzling over it on a few "Radiant Energy" Web sites a few months back.
One expects that a decently similar power-capture device might be built from off-the-shelf bits these days, really. Germanium's 300mV forward junction-drop sure takes better to a gentle initial ticklin' than any 700mV silicon-junction device might ever, when the steady-state alternating input energy's mebbe a bit on the feeble side... Hm. Then there's power MOSFETs these days...? (Gee, I sure would like to build one of those workhorses - looks like it;s Worth Doing Right.)
And that is Item One. As for Item Two:
Ah, yes, things worth building. Let us now (at last!) have ourselves a decent triple-expansion, triple-compound, 120° radial-axis Serpollet-design-derived steam-driven expansion engine (with multifuel-capable monotube boiler) for immediate application to the post-petrol challenges of fuel-versatile, closed-cycle, non-toxic (yes) light steam vehicle propulsion purposes, shall we? It seems clear that we shall soon need such cost-effective drop-in conversion packages as these for soon-to-be-moribund explosion-driven vehix, I think...
Seal 'em semi-permanently inside a cut-down 55-gal oil drum or similar enclosure; bolt 'em flat to the rear floor of the ol' SUV like a phat steel pancake. Couple the package's crankshaft thru a right-angle box directly to the differential's universal joint.
Valve timing works thru a simple linkage mech, cable-controlled (If neither digital telemetry nor hydraulic control methods hold any appeal) through the side of the can... Steam enters (and spent vapor exits) the propulsion mechanism through headers in the sidewall, too.
Steam lines route under the floor, of course. Well-insulated, of course, from boiler to engine. The "exhaust" vapor is piped forward to the condenser, naturally. Feed-pump and auxiliary electrical generation from a wee secondary direct-drive double-acting chuffer or hi-tech turbine/gearbox, off to the side under the bonnet. (I like the chuffer, mese'f.)
Little else need change, really... Likely gentler accel off the line, is all. Maybe no more shriekin' jackrabbit tyre-burns left at the crossroads... But no terrible limit on the top speed either, given only proper design. (The "throttle" sets that variable in place; remember it's the variable valve timing that sets the road speed and direction in these pseudo-retro "light steam power" rigs.) No torque converter needed at all, either, US EPA opinions to the contrary notwithstanding, thankyouveddymuch.
The 1913 world land speed record, remember, was set by a steamer. A novel steam bicycle won the annual student/open cycle race at MIT one early year, too, though the builder/driver/winner of that coal-burning three-lap winner tragically died of a heart attack at or a little before reaching the finish line.)
Now consider the Shabbos benefits of a near-silent propane-fueled steam-driven radial-engine lawn mower. Especially when one is the goyische neighbor and Saturday is the *one* day off... That one-lung blappin' stinkin' gas-burner's never ever likely to be made really quiet enough; we all know that.
So the boiler belongs where the V-8 once throbbed. Burn anything from wood- or hemp-pellets thru sugarcane bagasse to peanut oil to cheap perfume if that's all you got. Use a Fresnel array and align that monotube's tracking accordingly, and off you go. (Just Boil It.) Methane and suchlike gaseous scavenge can work well too, with platinated refractory wool sandwiched-in 'tween pancake-wound monotube layers for combustion efficiency's sake.
The condenser goes where the radiator once was. Then the feed-water is pumped back to the boiler as mentioned. Good seals make for little loss and very favorable vehicle range indeed.
Yep, this one's core components are sure due for a wireframe animation treatment any day now. A little OpenGL graphics creativity oughta' do it. You'll know when she hits the post-conceptual stage; just look for a Very Fancy Steam Engine Screensaver. But please, me beloved droogies, don't hesitate to beat me to it - machine shop and all.
Um, the physics review is already long since done. Easier to re-generate it all these days than in most, I'll warrant. I won't mind a bit, let alone sue, should anyone well-positioned pull this one off themselves bigtime, really, and (only collateraly; nothing more though perhaps tragically unavoidable) help starve The Dark Dickster's slick-sick-'n'-sinister torture forces right back to the place from whence they emerged to plague us all, I think. Let them eat their own diesel, they love it so. (Hmph.) Oh well.
Keep on thinking free, me laddy-bucks! Take up lathes and milling-machines and boring mills and diamond-plating surface-finishing gear for PEACE, shall we just, already? I do think so, and I already drive a fine homegrown 24-volt electric PPEV every day, all over town. Haven't burnt but eight measly gallons of diesel and some three quarts of naptha (as BBQ charcoal lighter) in the year gone by, truth be known to all. (My money stays mine longer, that way.)
Uh-oh. There's that pesky Al-Quaida(Halley-burton)/Al-Quaida(Exxon) yee-haw jee-hahd petroslavery-enforcement blacksuit goon-skwad a-circlin' back 'round th' block in this remarkably monolithic moonlight; they musta' homed in on me broadband agin... Glad that dang Hummer of theirs's got a rotted muffler... (Crap tinpot import steel, like as not.) Gotta' log off an' split now; hit the tunnels an' change me hairstyle right PDQ again. Can't sleep now, clowns'll tase me...
Peace. I'm out.

Caldwell University to Present a Celebration of Alumni Art: 1994-2014
Caldwell, N.J., Aug. 18, 2014 – The Caldwell University Department of Art will present the work of graduates from the last 20 years who received a BA or BFA in Art, during its "Celebration of Alumni Art, 1994-2014" exhibition in the Visceglia Gallery. The goal of the event, part of the university's 75th anniversary commemoration, is to celebrate the remarkable creativity, innovation and dedication of the alumni over the last two decades. The diverse artistic work represents the efforts of 30 alumni, part of a vibrant community producing studio and design work in an exciting range of media.The show coincides with the institution's newly granted status as a university.
The exhibition opens Friday, Sept. 12, and a reception will take place 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, in the Visceglia Gallery in the Student Center Building as part of the annual Homecoming and Family Weekend. The exhibition will run through Oct. 10.
The works are done in a variety of styles including abstraction, representational, symbolic, psychoanalytic, non-objective and graphic design in media ranging from oils and acrylic to large and small scale sculpture, mixed media, photography and video. Professor Kendall Baker, who has taught studio art at Caldwell for many years, said, "Every one of these artists has passed through my classroom, and I think I can speak for all the Art Department faculty when I say that it has been greatly rewarding after having encouraged their creative visions to see them developing their own styles and approaches as they continue their investigations."
Caldwell launched the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1974, the first in New Jersey. More than 75 students are pursuing a major in art at the university.
For more information about Homecoming events, see http://www.caldwell.edu/homecoming. The Gallery is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. All events are open to the public.

Caldwell, N.J. – Sept. 18, 2014 – The Caldwell University Department of Theology and Philosophy will sponsor "To Kill or Not to Kill: Celebrating Genetic Diversity in a World That Seeks Perfection" 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 2, in the Alumni Theatre. The speaker will be Mark Bradford, founding president of the U.S. foundation of the Jérôme Lejeune Foundation.
The foundation was established in Paris in 1996 and an office in the U.S. was opened in 2012. It is the world's largest private funder of research into Down syndrome and other genetic intellectual disabilities. Prior to working at the foundation, Bradford was executive vice president of the National Catholic Bioethics Center and had worked for many years in secondary education and then as a seminary professor. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife Denise and their seven children, one of whom is blessed with an extra 21st chromosome.
In 1969, Dr. Jérôme Lejeune, a geneticist who discovered the cause of Down syndrome, was honored by the American Society of Human Genetics with its top award. In his acceptance address, he shocked his audience with this question: To kill or not to kill? Lejeune presented the options of life or death in the face of advanced genetic testing that would allow for the termination of those prenatally diagnosed with genetic anomalies. Lejeune's question has grown in importance as medical technology has made possible advanced prenatal testing. Do we celebrate human genetic diversity by accepting those with genetic differences, or does science pave the way for purifying humanity of those considered "imperfect"?

WINCHESTER, Va. (AP) -- The president of the Student Government Association at Shenandoah University has been removed from office.
The SGA House of Delegates' voting members recently voted to impeach and remove Nigel Huckle following hazing allegations.
The allegations involved Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorary dramatic society. Huckle is the group's treasurer.
Huckle tells The Winchester Star that the event involved requiring prospective members to memorize the society's history and recite it. He said he would quiz them and demand to know why they hadn't memorized the history when they forgot their lines or made a mistake.
He says society members wouldn't have done it if they had known it was hazing.
Huckle is a senior music theater major.

As down-home and sophisticated as the city it's named for, the Deluxe Nashville Tele® guitar comes with a Tex-Mex™ Stratocaster pickup in between two Tex-Mex Telecaster pickups. This array, combined with five-way Strat-o-Tone™ switching, makes it one of the most versatile Telecaster models we make. Features include ash (Amber, Honey Blonde) or alder (Candy Apple Red, Brown Sunburst) body, maple or rosewood fingerboard with medium jumbo frets, brown shell pickguard, vintage-style tuners and vintage-style six-saddle bridge.

This Telecaster turns out to be the most badass and baffling guitar I've ever played!In short, it perfectly suits all of the music styles I play, from pop rock to alternative hard rock. The vintage-style tuners happened to be awesome! Re-stringing is pretty easy with these tuners. Another thing that blew my mind was that the Tex-Mex pickups can handle distortion pretty well, contrary to what I read in other reviews. HiNT: It only takes to lower the tone knob to give the distorted sound more body;. Long story short, the fret work is flawless! There's no buzz at all. The body is pretty comfortable altough it's not a contoured body.The neck really helps me, because I have kind of small hands. It feels kind of beefy but it's not (plot twist). I highly recommend this guitar to everyone! It worths the money you pay for it!

My nashville tele was a gift from God. I'm a 15 year old that just started playing around a year ago and I played this guitar in a guitar center one day and knew it was the one for me. It has so many tones! The front (neck) pickup gives a bassy thick tone while the strat pickup allows the Hendrix sound while the bridge gives a twangy tone for country which is where my heart really is. There was no way for me to afford it but an opportunity came along and i got a steal on this guitar. It is way better than my other guitar which wont stay in tune. This guitar plays like butter and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Although I have played and owned Fender Strats, various Gibsons and currently a Case J1, I have always wanted a Telecaster, and when one came my way I couldn't resist!
It was one of the best decisions I have ever made, my Telecaster Nashville Deluxe plays beautifully and is loaded with a wonderful variation of tones to suit all kinds of music. The sound is totally authentic, and the finish is immaculate. Like another comment here my only wish is that you could pair both Tele pickups and leave out the Strat pickup when required, but that is a minor point. I can't rate this guitar highly enough, for the money it's an absolute bargain, not easy to find these days. Treat yourself, if you haven't already!

This one seriously is a nice guitar. Great neck, plays easily, smooth and fast. Tone is authentic. One of the best value guitars made by Fender today. It is genuine Fender from top to tail. Mine is well made with a flawless finish. A great great sound through my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III.
kevjones owns this item
I've never played a better neck. I don't think I've played a more versatile guitar. If only you could get the bridge/neck Tele sound. Apart from that, Strat, or Tele, pedals or clean... you'll never play another solidbody. You'll never need to.

Bought this guitar brand new in 2011, in candy apple red with a rosewood fretboard, for me it's one of the best mexican fenders, it's feels like a usa made, all the parts of the guitar are quality, it holds it's tune really well, the finish is flawless and the pickups and switchgear is amazing, it is so useful having the strat middle tex mex pickup and a 5 way statotone pickup selector, plugged into a good amp you can get both strat and tele sounds, also it sounds amazing through a fender twin with reverb/vibrato, this guitar is ideal for country playing and indie/britpop style twangy sounds, it's not so good for heavier stuff but if you're looking at buying one of these I doubt that's what you often play. if I bought one again I would probably go for one with a maple fretboard for abit more snap, but it's a great guitar either way.
seansbluesroom owns this item
I bought my Nashville in 2002 with a black paint job and maple fret board. I have changed out all the pickups since then. I put a Dimarzio twang king in the bridge, a '96 American strat pickup in the middle and a Rio Grande tall boy in the neck. After 11 years of heavy playing it is ready for the frets to be re-leveled but still playable. I'm at home with my Nashville in hand and I hope to never sale it .
Fat tele owns this item
My first fender I ever purchased new. I have always wanted a tele just for its looks and on my first visit to the us I got myself one after checking out different tele s all day. My final choice ended up with a Mexican made one because it sounded best.
I really liked the 3 pick configuration making this an all-around axe.
I am thinking of getting a new one again since i sold this one after a few years making a nice buck on it due to a good exchange rate and the important price difference betweeen the us & europe. Though I now regret my sale.
The candy red finish was impeccable, sounds good and certainly value for price
spaenje owns this item
This is the do everything guitar, it's great with the pickup selection with the already versatile tele when add a strat middle pickup look out baby it a head turner.
Sea4112 owns this item
This is a great guitar that acts like two different guitars.
There's that great Tele sound then when you need it there's that great Strat tone on the center pickup.
It's one of the guitars my friends pick up to play and are surprised at how good it sounds then won't put it down.

Well from a gearing/enchant/gems, your setup is pretty solid. Your exp is over soft cap and your hit is very respectable. Without knowing more it's hard to speculate, but if your OT is a pally and we are talking about multi-mob tanking then the scenario you describe above is somewhat common place.
Warriors are front loaded for threat pretty well, but compared to a paladin for example, over the course of a pull it's hard to out AoE threat them. There could also be alot of other reasons including rage issues, mis-taunting, or improper rotation usage.
Make sure your using SS & Revenge as often as you can as these will really help you build threat and keep aggro. On single targets, you should have no issue holding a boss for example provided both your OT & group realize you require a few seconds to grab aggro.
