Rifts along the northern shear margin of Pine Island Glacier (upper right of image). Credit: Michael Studinger, NASA's Operation IceBridge
The most extensive record yet of the evolution of the floating ice shelves in the eastern Amundsen Sea Embayment in West Antarctica shows that their margins, where they grip onto rocky bay walls or slower ice masses, are fracturing and retreating inland. As that grip continues to loosen, these already-thinning ice shelves will be even less able to hold back grounded ice upstream, according to glaciologists at The University of Texas at Austin's Institute for Geophysics (UTIG).
Reporting in the Journal of Glaciology, the UTIG team found that the extent of ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea Embayment changed substantially between the beginning of the Landsat satellite record in 1972 and late 2011. These changes were especially rapid during the past decade. The affected ice shelves include the floating extensions of the rapidly thinning Thwaites and Pine Island Glaciers.
"Typically, the leading edge of an ice shelf moves forward steadily over time, retreating episodically when an iceberg calves off, but that is not what happened along the shear margins," says Joseph MacGregor, research scientist associate and lead author of the study. An iceberg is said to calve when it breaks off and floats out to sea.
"Anyone can examine this region in Google Earth and see a snapshot of the same satellite data we used, but only through examination of the whole satellite record is it possible to distinguish long-term change from cyclical calving," says MacGregor.
The shear margins that bound these ice shelves laterally are now heavily rifted, resembling a cracked mirror in satellite imagery until the detached icebergs finally drift out to the open sea. The calving front then retreats along these disintegrating margins. The pattern of marginal rifting and retreat is hypothesized to be a symptom, rather than a trigger, of the recent glacier acceleration in this region, but this pattern could generate additional acceleration.
"As a glacier goes afloat, becoming an ice shelf, its flow is resisted partly by the margins, which are the bay walls or the seams where two glaciers merge," explains Ginny Catania, assistant professor at UTIG and co-author of the study. "An accelerating glacier can tear away from its margins, creating rifts that negate the margins' resistance to ice flow and causing additional acceleration."
Location of Amundsen Sea Embayment
The UTIG team found that the largest relative glacier accelerations occurred within and upstream of the increasingly rifted margins.
The observed style of slow-but-steady disintegration along ice-shelf margins has been neglected in most computer models of this critical region of West Antarctica, partly because it involves fracture, but also because no comprehensive record of this pattern existed. The authors conclude that several rifts present in the ice shelves suggest that they are poised to shrink further.
This research is sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation.
The article, titled "Widespread rifting and retreat of ice-shelf margins in the eastern Amundsen Sea Embayment between 1972 and 2011", appears in issue #209 of Journal of Glaciology.

Its considered that if you have anything in your hands that you are not giving complete attention to your driving and so you can be done for driving without due care and attention.
I can't find the news report right now, but I do remember that a few years ago there was a successful prosecution of a man who was eating an apple while driving!!! He obviously ran into the cop on a really bad day :)

Purple Turquoise
This page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
The name 'Purple Turquoise' has been used in at least three different ways:
1) As a synonym of the mineral Sugilite.
2) More recently (2005) material called 'Purple Turquoise' has been offered for sale, this has the appearance of turquoise but with a purple colouring.
This material is either a dyed natural Turquoise or reconstituted Turquoise (genuine pieces containing turquoise that have been broken down, mixed up with a resin and a red dye, and allowed to set. The resultant plastic-encased mixture can be cut and carved into a decorative stone).
3. There is apparently a source of a naturally lavendar-shaded 'turquoise' from Copiapo, Chile, but this has not yet been verified.

/castsequence [reset=target,combat] Berserker Stance, Pummel, Battle Stance, Charge etc etc so on.. should work
Macro guru's please correct me if I am wrong.
greetings my fellow marmots...
well i'm new here, but i get some time watching ciderhelm's viedos...
basically, i'm looking for a warrior macro to mmm change to berserker stance, cast pummel, back to battle stance...
i have one, but i'm not sure if it's working...
here it is
/targetenemy [noexists,nodead]
/cast [stance:1/2,combat] Berserker Stance; [stance:3,combat] Pummel; [stance:2/3,nocombat] Battle Stance; [stance:1,nocombat] Charge
/cast Battle Stance
any suggestion?
/castsequence [reset=target,combat] Berserker Stance, Pummel, Battle Stance, Charge etc etc so on.. should work
Macro guru's please correct me if I am wrong.
mmm i will try it...
Your macro, Cybion, didn't work because you have multiple abilities that use a global cooldown. You can only have one ability that uses a global cooldown in a single macro.
- Helgi
first time posting, dont know if it will work..
/cast berserker stance
/cast pummel
/cast battle stance
/cast [stance:1/2] Berserker Stance; [stance:3] Pummel
should get you there, but it won't get you back again. IIRC Bliz doesn't like these kinds of macro's too much :P.
Seems like people have some confusion with macros. Just to clarify, as per Blizz's new macro API any ability(s) which will introduce a GCD (Global cooldown) can not be macro'ed togther in a single key-press.
This to use such abilities you will have to use multiple key presses and use a castsequence macro.
Hope this helps !!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We have had major teacher bullying student issues, we have had obsesive teachers that go to a very creepy level of stalker like behavior .with my child. When brought to the schools attention especially the new principals attention it is ignored and worse yet my children and my self have been bullied for trying to better the situation. they act in a way that i myself have a hard time wrapping my head around . it has gotten so bad we have decided to pull our children out mid year and put them in a private school, i have actually taken out a 3rd job to afford it !! but well worth it not to have to worry about my children being treated this way!!! its like being in a nightmare , if they decide they don't like you as a parent or your child they will make sure that you are treated so terrible that you yourself dread taking your child to school in the mornings my kindergartener has come home in tears more times than not because of bullying by staff and pinning her against her sister!!teachersthe education provided in the school is so behind the rest of the world! its just terrible! all of that being said , it does have a few that are good teachers,the gym coaches seem very careing.
My son is in Kindergarten this year and so far I love the school. His teachers are great.
About the comment saying that Pevely supports childhood obesity, when my three children from the district bring home their weekly schedule they always have PE everyday. It is required for them to wear tennis shoes every day because they have gym everyday. As far as the library, my kids LOVE the library and constantly bring home a variety of books. I was a little upset last year because there was continuous Head Lice outbreaks and we battled it for four to five months. We'd get our children cleared up and then they'd come home covered in nits again. That was the worst of it. My children enjoy this school better than the other two districts they've been in.
Obviously the person thinking that out principle should be on a pole because of the way she dresses... #1 have no self confidence #2 bases the school on the way people dress (classy not trashy) #3 does not see the big picture on the way our children are all treated equally by her and she is always such an inspiration and encouraging human being. Shouldn't we be teaching our children not to judge a book by its cover? Last time I checked this is the problem we are having in today's society. Instead of judging why don't we just all get along and teach our children that being dfferant is ok no more judging it is ridiculous!
My child attends this school and we are considering home schooling. The principal is very compassionate and really does seem to care. On the previous comment below yes, she is very beautiful and dresses feminine... far from the derogatory comment though. We loved our child's kindergarden teacher but the first grade teacher seems to mark my child's paper wrong consistently on things that are clearly NOT wrong, and she adds up the score erroneously... meaning my child's grade is marked lower than it actually is, and is often out of line in how she speaks to my child. We did address this in the beginning with the principal & the teacher and it's gotten progressively worst I believe because we did do the proper thing. We've even addressed it again with just the teacher and there's clearly a power trip issue here. We now surprisingly to her keep the stacks of papers with numerous errors she has clearly made on my child's work & are now considering other options. I feel there should be a psychology degree & a class on professionalism & compassion because of the effects they have on a child's self-esteem. I feel her intent clearly is NOT to inspire or empower my child.
my child attends this school and i wish i could afford private school the principal looks like she should be dancing on a pole and not being a principal at a school the good news is the middle school is better
One week before the first day of school, my wife and I toured Pevely Primary. To put it bluntly, the librairy reminded us of one of those project houses in the ghetto (all clean and new), before it gets run down like the rest of the project buildings. There were very few books in the librairy, but hey - there was new carpet. Outside - the playground had old rebar jutting up and out of the ground in three spots. The lack of communication (from our son's teacher) leaves something to be desired. However, the worst thing about this school is the fact that that "Pevely Primary" and the Dunklin School District seems to embrace the nationwide statistic of growing childhood obesity. Specifically, gym is offered only once per week, with art and music being offered two and three times per week... and kids get recess taken away as punishment!
My son will be starting 1st grade in the fall here at Pevely Primary. He attended Kindergarden here as well. I'm so happy with this school, the teachers & principle. He loves school and they work with him so well. He sometimes needs a little one on one, and they make time for him. His brother will also attend Kindergarten in 2012. This is a wonderful school. Very easy to work with and keeping you informed.
I'm really impressed with this, Pevely Primary. The teachers have really helped my little kindergartener. He has some behaviour and emotional issues and they have worked so gently with him since preschool. He is now so excited to go to school!! We also had an issue with the school bus, (not the driver) on the first day of school, my son was on the wrong bus. We brought this to the principle's attention after hours and she dropped everything to ensure it wouldn't happen again. She made us feel like we were her #1 concern. That is the same way they treat my son. I HIGHLY recommend this school!!!
I have had some issues with some of the teachers being very rude to myself and my child. These are not her actual teachers that she has had contact with. I'm a little disappointed in this school.
PPC is one of the very best schools around the county. The staff are all very well trained, friendly, and caring. Most of all the scores do not lie. This school is excellent in overall scoring placement. Thank you, you wonderful teachers and staff members. RB
Pevely Elementary has been a wonderful school for my son! He really enjoy's going to school each day. 90% of the STAFF is Wonderful, from teachers to lunch ladies :) They all go out of their way to make you and your child feel comfortable and well informed.
I think that some of the teachers could focus on the kids more, but the majority of the teachers are A+ rated, the teachers are careing and helpful, the administration needs lots of help in this school. Staff not very informative, as far as informing parents of ill children or if they were hurt or in a fight , etc...

This empanada recipes offers a good combination of flavors and textures. The secret is the cheese in the middel of each empanada. When the empanadas are cooking, the cheese melts and adds a nice creaminess. Empanada dough disks can be found in the frozen section of some grocery stores or in Latin markets. I'm posting a baking method, but will also make a note at the end with directions for frying. Recipe courtesy of Eva Longoria. ***NOTE: The website would not let me put in the empanada discs in the ingredient list, since it did not recognize that item. You will need 25-30 store-bought empanada discs, defrosted***

BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraq's government spokesman says Saddam Hussein's notorious cousin "Chemical Ali" was executed Monday about a week after being sentenced to death for the poison gas attacks that
killed more than 5,000 Kurds in 1988.
News of the hanging came shortly after three suicide car bombs struck downtown Baghdad.
It was not immediately clear whether the attacks were linked the execution of Ali Hassan al-Majid.
Government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh confirmed the execution took
Al-Majid - widely known as "Chemical Ali" for the gas attacks - was convicted on Sunday for ordering the poison gas to be dropped on the Kurdish town of Halabja in 1988 as part of a campaign against a Kurdish uprising.
It was the fourth death sentence against him for crimes against humanity.

Deal Breaker
How badly did Europe just bungle its best shot yet at avoiding economic catastrophe?
It all sounded so promising. In the early morning hours on Oct. 27, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy emerged from a day of edge-of-their-seats negotiations and announced a historic plan to pull the continent's economy back from the brink of disaster.
The agreement, acceded to by European governments and the Institute of International Finance, had three parts. Investors -- mostly European banks -- would write off half of the face value of the Greek bonds they held, a particularly toxic ingredient in Europe's debt crisis. The banks would raise capital to the tune of 100 billion euros, removing some of the uncertainty over the shaky sovereign government debt on their books. And the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) -- the continent's 625 billion-euro bailout fund -- would be bolstered to 1 trillion euros in order to protect other vulnerable economies from imploding the way Greece's had. The politicians involved patted themselves on the back, and stock exchanges on three continents sharply rallied on the news of a deal, with some European bank stocks leaping by as much as 25 percent in a single day.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the expectations from last week's summit to come crashing down to Earth, and loudly. Putting the pieces back together will not be easy. And the implications are consequential -- not least for the upcoming G-20 meeting, the agenda for which will likely be hijacked by Europe's renewed turmoil.
The markets' initial euphoric reaction was based on a twofold hope. The first was that Europe would quickly translate the agreements into specific and lasting measures. The second was that Europe would address two big issues that were not on the summit's agenda and needed to be: the restoration of economic growth and the strengthening of the institutional underpinnings of the eurozone.
Investors were giving policymakers the benefit of the doubt -- and as it turns out, it only took a few days for markets to realize that, once again, they had placed too much faith in leaders' ability to follow through in a decisive manner. The result has been significant market turmoil as three developments essentially unraveled the summit's achievements.
First, in a surprise move, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou announced he would hold a national referendum to seek broad-based popular support for the measures agreed upon last week. This baffled other European leaders, who were under the impression that Papandreou and his government had already signed off decisively on the deal. It also cast major uncertainties over the willingness of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund (let alone countries like China) to lend to Greece ahead of the referendum -- which is still pending a vote in Greece' parliament -- thereby increasing the risk that the country could run out of money this month to pay some bills.
Second, some banks that hold Greek debt started expressing reservations about the agreed-upon 50 percent debt reduction -- a haircut they had initially hoped to keep to 21 percent. This puts back on the table the threat of a very chaotic and disruptive Greek default. It also places a question mark on the robustness of the cooperative public-private approach that is central to solving Europe's crisis -- and the banks' reluctance has only increased since Papandreou's announcement of the referendum.
Third, the European Central Bank (ECB) has proved less than fully effective in stabilizing the interest rates on debt issued by other European economies, particularly that of Italy. Despite purchases by the ECB, the interest rate on Italian 10-year bonds has broken above 6 percent, more than double the level considered safe. The spread between the rates on Italian and German bonds -- a market measure of credit risk -- reached a new eurozone record. While it is not clear whether it is an issue of willingness or ability on the part of the ECB to stabilize markets, the disappointment has added to market jitters.
Markets have predictably plummeted today, and European leaders must again scramble to put the pieces back together. In the process, they will try to catch up, or at least avoid falling further behind, in a crisis that is spreading well beyond the original confines of peripheral countries' sovereign debt problems. The banking sector is now contaminated, and there are growing concerns about the impact on core countries, including France's ability to retain its AAA rating.
No wonder there is tremendous pressure on Papandreou to reverse his referendum gamble -- and this pressure is coming from both inside and outside Greece. Meanwhile, banks are being reminded that the alternative to the 50 percent debt reduction is an even more drastic loss of value. And I suspect that the ECB is hearing calls to be more forceful in its efforts to stabilize markets.
These issues will undoubtedly feature prominently at the G-20 Summit in Cannes this week. Unfortunately, they will crowd out the type of deliberations needed on other topics that are also of central importance to the wellbeing of the global economy. Leaders who are preoccupied with the sovereign debt crisis are almost certain to once again fail to formulate a much-needed global employment and growth pact. They also may fail to address the historic developments in North Africa and the Middle East -- where some economies need support as desperately as Europe's vulnerable economies -- that have occurred since the last G-20 meeting, to say nothing of the still-pressing issue of climate change.
Only last week, the hope was that after endorsing the outcome of the European summit, members of the G-20 would agree to supportive measures and also address the other big issues ailing the global economy. Expectations are now quickly ratcheting down, with the greatest optimists limiting their hopes to a new emergency Band-Aid for Europe. In the process, the outlook for global growth and jobs dims a little more.

Playing Black Bear GC with my two brothers-in-law and their friend. Hole 13 was 142yd par 3. Selected a 7 iron but with the wind, it was too much club. Teed up two club lengths behind tee blocks. Hit a nice little draw that hit about two feet in front of pin and rolled right into the cup!!! Made my day! Started playing golf in 1960...been close many times, but this was my first.
Next Post
My first hole in one after 35 years. Hit the ball with Tiitleist 5 hybrid and watched the ball roll pass the cup up a slight hill, the return down the hill into the cup. It sure was a surprise, even though I saw the ball, as friends were telling me it rolled into the cup.
Friends were telling me I should be playing the super lotto with the luck I had for the day.

Welcome to the latest installment of the Launch, where Sam Mason, former pastry chef at wd-50, relates the ups and downs of preparing to open Tailor, the swanky restaurant and lounge coming together at 525 Broome Street.
I'm here at a restaurant supply company on the Bowery thats fabricating a special island for me. My own special island! We need it because the kitchen is kind of tight, and when we looked at the plans, we said, This is not going to work. You need 36 inches to move around. We figured out ways to save space, like having sliding doors rather than swing-out doors beneath. We have a shelf hanging from the ceiling over it, which I call the cloud. There are so many complications, between the plumbing and the electricity and the design. I just hope my measurements are right.
Then theres the equipment. Im here today to look at a used combi oven. It was only in use for two or three months, and were getting a great price on it. And Im still thinking about tiles. If theres one place you can have some artistic influence on a room, its the floor. But they cant be a high-gloss, slippery tile; we need some abrasiveness, some grit. I want it to look and feel like a real kitchen.
Ive always promised I wouldnt open early. Ive been to too many early openings. You can always see what theyve left undone. I remember friends and family at Gordon Ramsay. There was so much shit hanging out of the walls, no sconces, no fixtures, sawdust everywhere. I dont want that. People open and say, Alright, well finish that next week. But then it gets hectic, and they never get to it. At all. I know theres something to be said about opening up and generating revenue. But that extra week isnt going to kill me.

The venue was nice. I enjoyed the open theater atmosphere though you could hear a background/traffic noise when it gets loud.
The play itself was a bit disappointing. The acting and the production was a little amateurish.
I hope that there be a better production in this venue because it's nice for OC to have its own mini LA Greek Theater or Hollywood Bowl.
Measure for Measure
is the Bard's dark political comedy about government hypocrisy, the tightening of rules regarding sexual conduct (even in private), and "law and disorder". Big Brother is at its best in Measure for Measure — but remember, it's a comedy, and in the end "all's well that ends well."

Gom Player 188.8.131.5211
Visually appealing and easy to use
Upon installation, be advised that unless carefully going through each step, you might end up with a different homepage for your default web browser. The process finishes in a matter of seconds, unveiling a simple, yet intuitive and pretty interface. You may anytime change the default skin from the 'Preferences' menu.
One of the most useful aspects in terms of visuals, is that you can carefully place the main window on the desktop due to its sticky borders that get a grip of other windows as well. The same can be said for the playlist and control panel, which can be pinned to the player and moved along as a whole.
Organize files into playlists
In order to be a veritable media player, an application shouldn't be missing some basic features. Gom Player makes no exception, one of the most important being a playlist manager. It is brought up in a separate window and desired items can easily be dragged over it. Moreover, you are also able to import existing playlists in case you only want to change your default multimedia application.
Enhance video and sound
Furthermore, the application puts a small, but powerful control panel at your disposal with which your overall audio and video experience is enhanced. A 12-band equalizer makes sure sound reaches your ears clean, offering you a decent variety of presets, but also the possibility to save custom configurations.
In addition, you can adjust color sliders to correct any flaws in the image, as well as capture a specific frame you might want to use in other projects. Subtitles can be loaded for greater ease of access and positioned by adjusting several sliders.
To end with
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Gom Player certainly lives up to expectations, holding a seat at the table of giants. It lets you instantly accommodate due to the intuitive and design, while the amount of formats it can render leave nothing more to be desired, except popcorn to go with the movie.

I have posted this before as a trouble-
shooting aid. It should explain what is
I don't have the manual in front of me
so this may be a little generic. The IK
circuit sends out a 100% white pulse
during the vertical blanking interval.
There is a pulse for red then green and
lastly blue. Each pulse is on a different
scan line. The IK circuit then matrixes
them together, amplifies the 3 pulses and
send it back to the jungle IC.
Using a scope with delayed sweep or set
at the vertical rate and expended 10X you
should be able to see the 3 pulses at the
IK output from the CRT board and
note that the amplitude will grow or
shrink depending on the screen setting.
If one color is missing
then you have
an amp circuit problem for that color.
If none of the pulses are there
they go in from the jungle IC then
look for a bad IK amp transistor.
If the pulses are there but do not vary
with changing screen voltage
the feed-
back to the jungle IC or the IC itself is
bad Some times the jungle IC has small
Mylar caps off of it and if there they
have been known to short. Sometimes
the caps are built into the jungle IC and
can still short.
Many times the IK circuit just goes out
of tolerance meaning the current drawn
by one crt is no longer within acceptable
range and
the picture is blanked.
If this is the case then increasing the
screen voltage will solve, for a while,
the complaint.

Sony television sets of recent years
(1994-95 & more) contain circuits which
monitor the current of the CRT cathodes.
The microprocessor in combination
with the "jungle" chip and a series of
transistors and other components in the
circuits corresponding to the three cath-
odes, then automatically adjust the bias of
each individual gun to compensate for
Kinescope aging.
Unfortunately for the owner, they also
will blank the picture when the Kine
slumps too low. Some tech's have been
able to "Rejuvinate" the Kine & restore
performance, while others have wondered
if there was a way to bypass that IK
circuit. That answer has been always
been "NO" --- Until now.
Jorge Miret, of J.C.Electronic Repairs in
Puerto Rico has discovered a circuit
modification which will allow a bypass of
that circuit. It is found on a Spanish-
Language website
which makes it a bit tough on us Gringo's,
but "not to worry". Google, the ever help-
ful search engine is capable of translating,
as you've learned in another article
published within the pages of "The
Following is a machine-translation of that
webpage, aided by your reporter where
A diagram of the circuit modification is
provided. It involves cutting a trace and
the addition of 3 diodes.
Translation for Gringo's:
Following is a brief description of the
Operation of the IK circuit. From each
output of the Jungle Chip (R, G, B) exits
a pulse, three pulses in all, one to cathode
of the Kine. These pulses are at the hori-
zontal sweep rate, so that it activates
during the exploration of a line. These
lines are not visible in the screen, since
they are sent during the beginning of the
"vertical sweeping", in the area of
"blanking", but they can be seen in the
overscanned part of the screen if the
vertical height (VSIZ) in the Menu is
reduced slightly. This circuit, besides to
verify the correct operation of the CRT,
allows to make automatic adjustments
within the IC jungle, to compensate the
small differences of emission between the
cathodes and to maintain the correct color
of the image. The current of the cathodes
is detected by 3 Detector circuits put in
between the exciting amplifiers and
each one of the cathodes. These circuits,
send a signal, proportional to the current
of each one of the cathodes, to a IK
Buffer circuit, from where they are sent to
the jungle chip. In many equipment these
circuits are formed by discrete compo-
nents (transistors, diodes, resistance, etc.)
but in more recent models, all the exciting
stage of the CRT and the components of
IK circuit are included in a single
integrated circuit like the TDA6108.
Almost from the moment at which the
equipment is ignited, the "jungle" chip
sends the respective pulses to each one of
the output pins, while it maintains a "cut"
or "muting" of video (black screen). As
the cathodes reach the temperature neces-
sary to emit electrons, the current of such,
generates in the respective detector cir-
cuits, a pulse similar to the applied one
and whose amplitude is proportional to
the current of the cathode. To see the
image on the screen, When the pulses in
the IK circuit reach certain amplitude, the
"cut" of video is deactivated and the im-
age appears. The lack of video (black
screen), in these TV Sony, sometimes
causes confusion between the technicians,
because when not having an output of
signal from the jungle chip, tend to
suppose that the problem is in the Jungle
When faced the repair of a recent TV that
presents absence of Video (black screen),
we must make the following steps: To
increase G2 screen voltage. If the screen
is illuminated with "raster" (swept) nor-
mal, we can discard the possible prob-
lems in the circuits of sweeping. (a defect
in the Vertical circuit, can cause the same
symptom) This also allows us to quickly
verify the necessary voltages for the
operation of the CRT (filament, anode,
G2). If these voltages are correct, is very
possible that the problem is in the Kine
drive amplifiers, in the CRT, or in the IK
The next step, is to verify the state of the
CRT. If it has low emission in some of
the cathodes, or if it has some internal
short it can cause that IK circuit to stay in
"cut". For this it is advisable to use a Kine
Checker. If it is not had one, the follow-
ing verification can be made: With the
TV operating, momentarily place a 15 or
20K 2W resistor, between ground and
each one of the cathodes (KR, KG and
KB), one at a time. This will result in
the corresponding color illuminating
brightly. The intensity must be similar
when doing the test in the three cathodes.
If some of the colors does not appear or it
does in tenuous form, it indicated an ex-
hausted or defective CRT. (This is not a
very precise test. It is better to use a Kine
Checker, but nevertheless, this test could
aid to determine if some of the guns, is
defective or with very low emission).
To deactivate or "to deceive" the IK cir-
cuit sometimes can be useful. The
circuit modification below will "deceive"
the IK circuit into deactivating the video
blockade that it causes. This can be done
by disconnecting the line of the IK buffer
and placing three diodes of the type
1N4148 between the pins of the inte-
grated jungle, as it is shown in the figure.
With this modification, the pulses from
the output of the jungle chip are
re-introduced into the IK line of the chip
which then deactivates the video
blockade, allowing the image to appear
on the screen. If the image does NOT
appear, and having made the verifications
given earlier, is possible that the inte-
grated jungle (or some component
associate) is defective.
Granted, The translation leaves a bit to be
desired (you should have tried reading it
before I "Helped" it along). I make no
claim to be a linguist— My parents never
even spoke Hungarian around me, but I
believe that this is more information than
we've ever seen about this IK circuit

Sony IK Circuit Bypass
By Joe Sopko, CET
Contributed By Jorge Miret And Luis Alberto Tamiet
The article that you've just read was con-
tributed By Jorge Miret and appears to be
written by Luis Alberto Tamiet on the
website listed in the first paragraph. As
the entire site is in Spanish, I am not sure
of the actual author.
The Speaker would like to thank Both of
these Techs for adding to our store of
knowledge. Take the information for
what it's worth, I've not tried it, and
neither has the contributor so we can't
speak of it's efficacy from personal
experience. It is presented as another di-
agnostic tool to determine whether the
blanking is caused by the jungle chip or
the kine.
Of course, no tech would ever leave
the bypass circuit in as a permanent
measure, nor would "The Speaker"
ever recommend a modification not
authorized by the manufacturer. If
you try this, we'd like to hear of your
experience and opinion as to it's

It Works !!
Recently, The Speaker printed an
article describing a procedure to bypass
the Sony IK circuit. The procedure came
from a Latin American site, and at the
time of printing we didn't know of anyone
who had actually tried it or if it was
actually effective...Heck, it took us long
enough just to translate the thing!
Subsequent to that time, a Sony
KV20S20 came into Consumer Service in
South Euclid Ohio with a Black Screen
(has sound). Turning up the Screen
Grid restored the picture, so it looked as
though this was a candidate to determine
the efficacy of that Bypass Mod. Seized
by the curiosity that marks all
technicians, I installed the components
mentioned in that article from The
As you can see in Figure 1, there are 3
diodes riding like an outrigger on the
Jungle Chip (CXA1870). Those 3 diodes
and a cut of a foil trace on the PCB are all
that the mod involves. Real Easy, Takes
only a couple of minutes. Figure 2 shows
how the diodes are connected schemati-
Be aware that there are different jungle
chips involved in different sony chassis.
Some use the CXA1465, and some use
the CXA1870 (and I have no doubt
that there are others, too). I have put the
affected pin numbers for these 2 chips in
figure 2 for your information. Also be
aware that a particular chassis may use
"either" of 2 chips. The chassis that I was
working with had
the PCB roadmapped for a 48 pin chip,
but actually had a 42 pin chip
installed. Needless to say, the pin mark-
ings on the PCB's surface were
incorrect. (Tech's are nothing if not
I'm glad to report that the modification
performs as promised. BEFORE the
Mod, the picture would blank at the low
end of the screen control, would
reappear at mid to high range, and then
blank again at very high position of
the control. AFTER the Mod, The pic-
ture was present throughout the entire
rotation of the screen control. I assume
that Sony's intent was to prevent a
poor picture from being seen as the kine
aged beyond limits. With this
modification, you can watch a crappy
picture throughout the entire range of
the control if you so desire.
Naturally, this procedure is
presented only as a Test procedure to
determine if the IK Blanking Circuit
is indeed keeping the picture from
appearing. No technician would
ever leave the mod in as a permanent
fix and The Speaker would never
recommend any procedure contrary
to the manufacturer's approved
