Herb Ohta Jr. will also be there to perform with Alvin. This is a historic event for KoAloha Ukulele, as the film has won the Honolulu International Film Festival's Gold Kahuna Award 2009. We would like to congratulate Gary San Angel and Rocky Kev for all their work in making this film a success!
Official Press Release:
The KoAloha Ukulele Story
Wins the Honolulu International Film Festival's Gold Kahuna Award
The KoAloha Ukulele Story, an animated documentary short film based on the life of Alvin Okami, will come home to Hawaii with a private screening and live musical performances at the Arts at Marks Garage on March 8 at 7:30 p.m.
The 2009 Honolulu International Film Festival will award their prestigious Gold Kahuna Award for Excellence in Filmmaking to The KoAloha Ukulele Story at the Award Ceremony at the Hawaii Theatre following the screening and performances.
The Gold Kahuna is one of the awards given by the Honolulu International Film Festival in various categories—fewer than 10 percent of submissions were selected for this prestigious award. The KoAloha Ukulele Story was among the very best of the several hundreds of films submitted from over 30 countries around the world.
The ukulele maker himself, Alvin Okami, will perform immediately after the screening with Herb Ohta, Jr., vanguard for the new generation of 'ukulele players. Okami will also"talk story" and showcase the miniature ukulele that gave birth to KoAloha as well as ukuleles from his master piece collection that made it one of the most innovative ukulele companies today.
The KoAloha Ukulele Story is not an ordinary story. And Alvin Okami is not an ordinary ukulele maker. He has been called by many a modern day "Renaissance Man." He is an inventor, an innovator, a composer/arranger, a singer, an accomplished oboist, an industrial designer, graphic designer, and overall brilliant conceptual and spontaneous idea man. In the animated documentary short film, The KoAloha Ukulele Story, Alvin becomes storyteller as he "talks story" sharing the journey from his days running a bankrupt plastics company to the day he decided to make the first miniature playable ukulele.
The KoAloha Ukulele Story is the brain child of director and producer Gary San Angel and animator Rocky Kev, both based in Philadelphia. The yearlong project was almost never completed; the film first began as a traditional documentary film but much of San Angel's interview footage was lost. With the help of Rocky Kev and a backup audio recording of Okami's interview, the two filmmakers created an animated version of the story and had its world premiere screening at the 1st Annual Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival this past October 2008 to rave reviews.

About the Film:
The KoAloha Ukulele Story is an animated documentary film based on the true to life events of Alvin Okami, the famous Oahu based entertainer turned inventor, who finds his true calling as one of the most innovative ukulele makers in Hawaii today. Alvin "Talk's Story" sharing hisunbelievable journey from his days using Plexiglas to the fateful day when KoAloha Ukulele first began.
Director's Notes:
The KoAloha Ukulele Story is an animated short film based on my oral interview with Alvin Okami in September of 2007 almost a year ago where I captured a few of his life stories and music on film. Initially, I was going to do a straight documentary film based on his stories but when I got back to Philadelphia I played my camera footage and all I could see was static. I was so disappointed. Fortunately, I had a backup sound recorder which recorded all his stories in their entirety but it was just the sound no picture. I was pretty upset about the camera footage being lost but would listen to Alvin's stories over and over in my headphones.
There was one story that just popped out at me and made me say, "Wow! That's amazing!" and that was the story of how KoAloha first began. Hearing the story in my head I could see pictures. To me the story was like a real movie. I thought, "I wonder if I could animate the story? Have Alvin tell the story but show pictures as he's talking almost like a children's book. I could create magic from pictures." But reality set in, I knew it couldn't work because I could not really draw and I would need an animator to help me. So I gave up. And I thought, "Oh, well. I'll just have to go back to Hawaii and reshoot everything."
About a month later, I ran into Rocky Kev, one of my former students from the Asian Arts Initiative where I work. He's a talented animator and I've always admired his drawings. I mentioned to him in passing, "Hey, Rocky if I play you this story will you listen to it? I lost my camera footage and have no way to tell this amazing story about this ukulele maker in Hawaii. Maybe, you can help me animate it." Rocky is a Cambodian American youth who grew up in South Philadelphia and has never been to Hawaii or even knew what a ukulele was but when he heard the story for the first time he immediately called me the next day and said, "I loved it! I want to animate Alvin's story."
So for almost a year we have been working together to create the visual pictures for telling Alvin's story of how KoAloha Ukulele first began. Me as an editor, director, and Rocky as an animator, we worked many countless hours to research and to imagine what happened on those eventful days leading up to when KoAloha started. Because Rocky and I are from the U.S. mainland we knew we could never be completely authentic to local Hawaii-isms or to every single detail that actually happened in the story. We knew if we created an animation for authenticity sake we would fail miserably. So we knew we had to use the strength of the power of our creativity and imagination to create simple, powerful, and entertaining images that would help bring the KoAloha story to life in our own way.
In many ways, we've created our own animated storybook version of Alvin's story. And now that we are nearing the finish line and wrapping up the film I can proudly say this brings to life the KoAloha story in a way that would never have been captured on film. For me, this journey to create the film has been as amazing as the story itself and I feel absolutely honored and blessed to have the privilege to bring this story to the screen. I feel very fortunate to share in the magic of the story of KoAloha and to be able to bring this film to ukulele lovers all around the world or simply anyone who has ever felt that some things happen for a very special reason. This story is all that and more.

Quad Ambulance District recently purchased a new rescue truck, but this purchase was made only after extensive research and financial planning by Quad staff and board members.
The truck equipment will include-- but is not limited to-- a hydraulic jaws of life, ropes, airbags, hand tools and mini-light plant. The truck will aid in many types of accidents and emergency situations such as automobile collisions, farm mishaps and rescues of people trapped in wells and other places.
The rescue truck is replacing a 1994 retired ambulance which was grossly overloaded and under equipped. The new unit has a 20-year life expectancy.
The truck and chassis were purchased from Wendell Fords of Waynesburg and the Ford Company shipped it to the Life Star Company in VanWert who completed the body of the unit with the upgraded tools and equipment.
The vehicle's complete cost was $185,000, but Quad's original quotes for the unit were more than $250,000. According to John Whitacre, assistant chief of Quad, there was significant savings on the unit by purchasing it from Wendell's and Life Star.
"We were able to save on the unit cost and also the holding charges. We did most of the other equipment purchasing in house and shopped vigorously to find the best deal," said Whitacre.
Quad staff and board members have been looking into the purchase for over three years, and they encumbered monies over time from levy funds. Paramedic Steve VanMeter, who has more than 10 years experience in rescue services, used his knowledge to help with the research into the purchase.
In addition to the new rescue truck, Quad has two advanced-life ambulances.
Quad Ambulance District provides 24-hour service, seven days a week to its district, which includes the villages of Magnolia and Waynesburg and the townships of Sandy (Stark County) and Rose. These services are provided by seven full-time paid employees, 14 part-time staff members and five on the rescue team, which includes paramedics, advanced and basic life support personnel.
Annual runs for Quad are between 520-560.
Jim Herstine is the chief of Quad. Board of directors are: Ronnie Reed, Sandy Township; Brian Cairns, Rose Township; Jerry Shilling, Magnolia; and Dr. Brady Kail, Waynesburg.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Quad Ambulance web page. It is the goal of our organization to keep the residents of our district informed on our current activities and organizational decisions personally affecting you.

Yummy food for your brood

Rice Cakes with a Sesame Crunch
Plain rice no more: This family-pleasing recipe is easy to dress up – and it's sure to fill you up, too!
Rice rules at my house: We like short grain, long grain, brown, white, sticky, Basmati, Jasmine, you name it. But I have to admit that even with all those options, rice can get, well, kinda boring. Sauce only does so much to spruce up another day of rice.
So when I ran across a recipe for rice cakes, I knew my kids would be eager to give it a try. The first time I served these cakes alongside a traditional stir-fry loaded with marinated chicken and fresh veggies. My kids went for the cakes – and I ended up with a week's worth of stir-fry leftovers. Now, I plan on the rice cakes taking center stage (or at least being a feature instead of a side) when I make them. I plan on about three cakes per person (they're packed with rice, so they fill you up fast!).
Now that rice cakes have become a regular on our dinner menu, we've started to tweak the recipe. Often I'll add fruit zest to perk up the flavor of the cakes and help them to complement whatever main dish I'm serving – after all, these don't just have to be served with stir-fry. With pork, I add a little orange zest, Thai dishes meld well with a little lemon; I've even made Mexican rice cakes by adding lime zest, a little chili powder and a splash of Tabasco sauce for a kick.
To add even more fun to the meal, stick a cooked bean in the middle of one of the cakes and let your kids know that whoever gets the bean gets a prize – maybe she gets to chose a special dessert after dinner, or maybe he has to help cleanup all the dishes (hey, doing dishes can be a reward, right?).
I always make a big batch of the rice cakes. Here's why: First, my kids eat them at dinner, for snacks, I even freeze them to reheat later. Second, sad to say, but not all of your rice cakes will turn out perfectly. Usually, I have about three that don't survive the flip from the top-sesame-seed-coated side to the bottom. It's just how it goes – no amount of careful prep prevents a few rice cake fall-aparts. My kids are more than happy to eat up my mishaps.
Ready to reinvent your rice? This recipe takes a little work to put together, but the cakes are fun to eat for dinner or you can even eat them cold for an unusual picnic treat.

Hundreds of BJP workers are working round-the-clock to make Narendra Modi's first rally in Delhi successful. With only one day left for the event, workers are busy giving finishing touches to the stage from where Modi will address the rally on Sunday morning.
A vanity van will be parked right behind the stage for senior BJP leaders to rest. An event management company has made a makeshift office behind the stage to control activities on the ground. To facilitate the leaders, VIPs and media personnel, the BJP has formed a team of over 20 youths who have been asked to dress in formals.
"On Saturday too, they have been asked to come at 10 am. They will all be given passes and will be responsible for facilitating various groups of people such as journalists, managing VVIP parking, stage management and leaders from other states. They will be supported by junior workers," said a senior BJP leader.
The facilitation teams have maps of the massive ground to guide the people. The BJP has given different names to the 10 entry points to make navigation smooth.
These entry points are named Vikas Dwar, Samridhi Dwar, Sushasan Dwar, Yuva Shakti Dwar, Mahila Shakti Dwar, Antyodya Dwar, Sankalpa Dwar, Vridha Samman Dwar, Samskar Dwar and Sewa Dwar. "Everybody is invited to attend the rally. There is no need for invitation cards. People are allowed to carry their mobiles," said Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel.
Among rumours of mosquito breeding at the venue, BJP claimed sanitation was their top priority. "Our cadres are doing a fantastic job in maintaining sanitation and hygiene there," Goel said.
The party also plans to post workers at the two nearest metro stations to guide visitors towards the rally.
In their last-minute efforts to attract Muslims to attend the rally, the party workers tried to conduct a public meeting at Turkman Gate with local Muslim leaders but the police denied them permission.
Delhi BJP has also requested the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to increase the frequency of trains on Sunday. They have also sought permission from the DMRC to use feeder buses to ferry people to the venue of the rally from the Rohini West Metro station. It has also asked the DMRC to make an arrangement wherein a particular number of people can enter the platform in one go without using tokens.
A divorce, a jail term, determined foes: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar fighting a lone battle?
The divorce between Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal(U) and a few days of change in residence for Rashtriya Janata Dal's Lalu Prasad – from 10, Circular Road in Patna to the Ranchi jail in Jharkhand – have totally changed the game that is played in Bihar.
Angry with the SP, convinced that the Congress is a losing proposition, unsure of AAP's ability to win, and fearful that Mayawati may ally with the BJP in the future, Muslims have a difficult choice.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A latent effect of home foreclosures is about to spawn -- mosquitoes.
Some of the abandoned homes have swimming pools that are no longer being cared for. In all cases, there is no longer a homeowner there to keep lawns cut and make sure rainwater isn't collecting.
The Tennessean reported the Metro Nashville Public Health Department drops larvacide bricks or grains into abandoned pools to keep down mosquito breeding. The insects can carry diseases, including the West Nile virus.
Landscaping fish ponds and hot tubs at foreclosed properties can also be breeding grounds, but so can bowls and pans that were left behind.

Nobel Prize for Chemistry (1937)
Paul Karrer (21 April 1889 – 18 June 1971) was a Swiss organic chemist best known for his research on vitamins. He and Walter Haworth won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1937.
Early years[edit]
Karrer was born in Moscow, Russia to Paul Karrer and Julie Lerch, both Swiss nationals. In 1892 Karrer's family returned to Switzerland where he was educated at Wildegg and at the grammar school in Lenzburg, Aarau, where he matriculated in 1908. He studied chemistry at the University of Zurich under Alfred Werner and after gaining his Ph.D. in 1911, he spent a further year as assistant in the Chemical Institute. He then took a post as chemist with Paul Ehrlich at the Georg Speyer Haus, Frankfurt-am-Main. In 1919 he became Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Chemical Institute.
Karrer's early research concerned complex metal compounds but his most important work has concerned plant pigments, particularly the yellow carotenoids. He elucidated their chemical structure and showed that some of these substances are transformed in the body into vitamin A. His work led to the establishment of the correct constitutional formula for beta-carotene, the chief precursor of vitamin A; the first time that the structure of a vitamin or provitamin had been established. George Wald worked briefly in Karrer's lab while studying the role of vitamin A in the retina. Later, Karrer confirmed the structure of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and extended his researches into the vitamin B2 and E. His important contributions to the chemistry of the flavins led to identification of lactoflavin as part of the complex originally thought to be vitamin B2.
Karrer published many papers, and received many honours and awards, including the Nobel Prize in 1937. His textbook Lehrbuch der Organischen Chemie (Textbook of Organic Chemistry) was published in 1927, went through thirteen editions, and was published in seven languages.
Personal life[edit]
Karrer was married to Helena Froelich in 1914 and had three sons, one of whom died in infancy.[1] He died June 18, 1971, at the age of 82 in Zürich. His wife died in 1972.

|I'm wiring my garage and want to install two outlets for a welder that I would then move between them as the need arises. Do you typically put two 50 amp breakers in the panel and have separate circuits, or use one and tap the line in a splice box to feed the second outlet? I've only got 100 amps coming into the building.
My local inspector doesn't like the idea of two outlets on a single 50 amp circuit. My opinion is that its safer to trip the single 50 amp breaker if I were stupid enough to connect two big loads at once, than otherwise to rely on tripping the main breaker with a panel overload.
I posted this issue on the wiring forum, but it occurs to me that this group may have more real world experience with this particular issue. (There doesn't seem to be a problem with tapping the line WRT the national electric code).
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by triptester (My Page) on Wed, Dec 8, 04 at 1:26
|I am not a electrician, but what you are planning does not sound unsafe,compare it to a 20 Amp kitchen circuit that has multiple outlets. You may have a coffee pot ,toaster, and microwave all on the same circuit ,no problem, unless they are all turned on at the same time. Besides the welder requires 50 Amps for maximum output and duty cycle.
|I would do a convenient single outlet off a dedicated 50A breaker, then make up a cheater 20-30' extention cord to extend the physical range with the proper plug ends...by the time you run the wire around the peremeter for the 2nd outlet, you'll have double the length of wire over an extention anyway. and I think a second dedicated breaker is probably going to be required by code for that second outlet. I do know they frown on multiple wires off the breaker connection.
Could you accomplish the same end with single wires off the breaker feeding a junction box with adequate beefy screw terminals intended for that purpose.. split it in the box, then run your 2 outlets off that set-up? It would still be a single dedicated breaker (outlets used one at a time) 2 wires off a breaker is a no no, but it' may be a different animal when you stack 3 terminal spade eyes on a stud. run that by a licensed electrician for a ruling...I'm guessing here.
I suspect they'll take the "dedicated circuit" thing seriously but the "after the fact" junction box split may be OK... if it ever becomes an issue...like a fire investigation leaving a loophole for the insurance co. bulking on coverage, or a claim.
|>tap the line in a splice box<
screw terminals on a UL approved terminal block vs. twisted wire and wire nuts...unless I jumped to conclusions.
|I will add, that if that's a sub panel, you want to keep the earth (equipment) ground separate from the electrical (neutral) ground in that box and feed it with 4 wires, and only connect the earth ground to the electrical ground in the main service box to comply with 2002 codes. they're funny about grounds these days...and it makes sense when you think about it.

|Your inspector may not like the idea of putting two 50 amp outlets on a single breaker, but according to NEC Art 210, you are allowed to do this.
Also, a question was recently posted about circuit size required for a welder. According to NEC Art. 630, you are allowed to derate your circuit ampacity for electric transformer type arc welders. For example, if your nameplate full load amp rating is 52 amps, and the duty cycle for that welder is 20 percent or less, you can use a derating multiplier of .45. That means that you can put that welder on a circuit rated for 30 amps.
- Posted by spambdamn_rich (My Page) on Sat, Dec 11, 04 at 4:33
|Hey Goose,
Thanks for the info about circuit rating for welders. This means I can put a 50 amp buzz box on a 40 amp 220 circuit.
I am a bit puzzled, though, by the derating multiplier. I'm guessing what that means is that the 40 amp breaker won't trip if 50 amps is drawn for a brief time (2 minutes out of 10 minutes) on a 20% duty cycle, although that goes against what seems logical.
Anyway, here's another question: Is there any reason why I can't wire up a 50 amp AC buzz box with an older style 50 amp plug (triangular blade arrangement) instead of what appears to be a newer blade pattern? I ask because the outelts in my workshop have the triangular pattern (one vertical blade, with two angled blades under it) on the 50 amp outlets (served by 40 amp breaker!). I'm guessing the triangular pattern is an older style but that it should work just fine. I also notice that the buzz boxes come without the plugs (or at least the plugs are not attached) so that there is some flexibility in plug choice implied.
|The older plug is 240 V with ground (3 wire), the newer is 120/240V with ground (4 wire). A welder is typically a straight 240 load (some MIG/TIG units do need 120 V) and the neutral (required to obtain the 120 V) is not needed.

|Thanks Brick,
But the newer plugs I've seen included with the Lincoln buzz boxes are also three prong. The difference is that the two bottom plugs on my outlets form about a 60 degree angle to each other, whereas the plugs that come with the Lincoln have the two bottom plugs in line with each other (as I recall). Both are rated for 250 V 50A, so I suppose that's no problem.
And I'm assuming that the "top" prong is the ground, and the two canted prongs below are the two hots.

|Article 630 really means that the 52 (input) amp welder with a 20% duty cycle could be wired with a 60 amp breaker (the smallest standard size larger than 50 amps) and could use #10 wire. Such a circuit could (legally) be used only for a welder of that specification. The use of a large-enough breaker is necessary for the machine to work. My big Lincoln stick welder is 100% duty cycle at 150 amps or less and 60% at 250 ampsDC. It is difficult to weld with stick much more than 6 minutes out of 10. Electrode changes, slag chipping, clamping, aligning, etc.

|Bus Driver,
Yeah, that's correct on the wire and breaker size. I was reading through that section while I was trying to do something else, and didn't take enough time to explain that part. I'm glad that you posted to clear that up.
I usually install outlets at the same breaker and wire size as the outlet without derating, to make sure I don't allow for some future problem to develop, in case the outlet should be used at the full rating of the breaker. Like you said, a derated circuit could legally be used only for the welder of that specification.
|Even if I hung a sign on the wall that said, "20 percent duty cycle welder only," I'm sure my inspector would red tag the installation of ten gauge wire with a 50-60 amp breaker because of just that potential "future use" goosberry suggests. I've had that discussion with them. See the OP above.
On the other hand, the AHJ doesn't want the house and the detached garage subpanels grounded together even though I'm running phone and cable TV between the buildings. Go figure.
- Posted by spambdamn_rich (My Page) on Tue, Jan 4, 05 at 20:26
|I'm not understanding why a lower duty cycle would make it ok to use equipment rated for above the breaker rating in the first place.
After all, wouldn't the equipment, if run at full power, will be drawing more amperage than the breaker is rated to provide? Even if this is only for 2 minutes out of 10, 2 minutes is more than enough time to trip a breaker.
Perhaps a better solution would be to intall a stop in the power control on the welder so that its now reduced maximum power-draw cannot exceed the breaker rating. This would limit the thickness of metal that could be welded, but that is perhaps preferable to welding together wiring inside the walls.
|The breaker is sized for the unit. The duty cycle allows the wires to be reduced in size since they will not carry the full rated current long enough to overheat based on the duty cycle of the equipment.
This is how you can have a 60 A breaker feeding #10 wire (normally limited to 30 A). It is perfectly safe and relies on the fact that the utilization equipment will provide overload protection. All the breaker is doing is providing short circuit protection.

Unfriendly Cat
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 11-23-2012 - 5:04pm
My son left his 2 cats with me 3 years ago. One of the cats has adapted nicely and comes to me for affection almost every day. I have alway had cats and adopted a really friendly cat for myself 4 years ago so I am not without kitty love. However the little unfriendly female cat won't warm up to me even though I give her and the other cats a pinch of catnip every night and special treats every morning.
My niece who lives with us says I should leave the faucet running and then "Chelsea" will warm up to me. Well, my niece doesn't pay the water bill and doesn't seem to care about the environment. I cannot in good conscience leave the water running. I've turned it on when Chelsea is in the room and let her drink from the faucet, but she still runs from me and actually spits at me. I've tried leaving my hand near her when I give her one of the special treats and she is starting to tolerate that. I've tried different treats with Chelsea and the only ones she seems to like are catnip and milk , yogurt, cottage cheese etc. She used to accept cat treats from my son, but now refuses them even from him. When he comes to visit she screaches at him and hides.
If she doesn't come aroud very soon. I think I will tell my son to take her back. She needs to go to the vet for a checkup and there is no way I can catch her to accomplish that.

I will be coming along on Saturday but I have a question. Will you at some stage be offering workshops on silversmithing?
I am interested in knowing more about your group, Both my wife and myself are always doing ,and making things ,and always interested in learning more, but we are 60 kys from B'dle,—— could not make it to the open day.
I was wondering if you were interested as being listed as a partner: http://fablabadelaide.org.au/partners-and-supporters/
i usually take a ww2 veteran for a drive each saturday, any chance we could have a look around your workshop say at about 11 – 11.30?
chris marshall
if yes where abouts are you located?
I have a lot of sticks from the big red gum trees.
In the street near the side gate at 50 greene St.,
I left 2 black desk chairs at the front door for table use.
The shire meetings at Community college should be good to attend.
I saw Box Hill Community Art centre yesterday and collected a book on their user groups. It is possibly easier to maintain than ours..
This is an interview I recently conducted with Queen-of-the-Maker movement, Limor Fried. I thought it might be of interest to you. If you could share or like it that would be even better, and you could call in a favor with me someday to do the same with some of your content.
Have a lovely day…Bastion Point was passed today so the beach or bay will be completely different after 25 years of protest..recreational boatingomey will probably be available or already allocated.
Is this the best use of resources for recreational boating improvements for all of East Gippsland.
Expected to cost $6 million.
Hi there, I am part of a new Facebook page for East Gippsland called 'WHAT'S ON IN EAST GIPPSLAND' where anyone is welcome to post events and happenings etc for the East Gippsland Area. We're extending out the invite to all venues, individuals, groups, etc in the area to use our page as a platform for promoting events etc. I hope to see you there! our link is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/606487806033237/
I spoke to Jewels at the Nicho winery on Saturday about the Maker Space and possible funding ideas. Here are some options:
http://www.eastgippsland.vic.gov.au/About_Us/Your_Council/Council_Grants_2012-2013 However the SpAusnet grant I was thinking of has now closed, but there are other ones here. You could ring and speak to Ruth Fitzclarence for ideas…she's the grants officer and is very lovely and will give you ideas.
Be aware also the Council has a discretionary budget, so feel free to write a letter to the mayor or Councillors. See http://www.eastgippsland.vic.gov.au/About_Us/Your_Council/Councillors
Also there is an Arts advisory board.
I'm the sustainability officer (part-time 2 days) and love your idea, but have limited time to be involved. The other idea I had was linking in with the Tip Shop?? Getting some of their items and fixing them up. I know of a great project in the latrobe valley, where they got old and dumped bikes from the tip, and did them up with disenfranchised youth, who then got to keep the bikes! Was a great success I gather. Anyway, I'd like to help where I can and will keep my eyes open for more grant/funding options.
Kind regards

Microsemi Delivers New LED Driver for LCD Televisions
New Solution Enables Power-efficiency Improvements of Up to 9 Percent
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced a new, revolutionary non-dissipative LED backlight driver for LCD TV applications. The LX27901 features a proprietary non-dissipative architecture that dramatically increases power efficiency while enhancing backlight performance and lowering total solution cost. It is also the first device of its type to provide LED driving capabilities in televisions based on the LCD Integrated Power Supply (LIPS) architecture, which combines a television's main power supply together with the LED driver on one lower cost and higher efficiency printed circuit board.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110909/MM66070LOGO)
"The LX27901 continues on our long tradition of innovation in high-performance display lighting solutions, delivering power-efficiency improvements in the 7 to 9 percent range," said Amir Asvadi, vice president and general manager of the Analog Mixed Signal Group at Microsemi. "This impressive reduction in energy consumption, coupled with the ability to reduce component counts and bill-of-material costs, is driving growth for LIPS-based LCD TVs. With the LX27901, we are poised to capitalize on opportunities in this dynamic market segment."
According to Display Search, more than 200 million LCD TVs ship each year, the majority of which will use LED technology.
"Advanced features such as non-dissipative current balancing of multiple LED strings, the ability to use one transformer design for a wide range of panel sizes and Microsemi's proprietary ACU_BRITE algorithm for enhancing dimming accuracy have led our largest customer to design the LX27901 into multiple TV models for 2012," said J.W. Suh, President of South Korean electronics distributor Bescom Global.
About the LX27901
Key features include three selectable drive modes, Microsemi's patented ACU_BRITE™ algorithm to provide high-accuracy, high-efficiency dimming over a wide operating range, synchronous regulation to reduce the number of power conversion stages and accurate current matching through Microsemi's unique non-dissipative balancing technology. Additional features include:
- 0.8A source & sink drive capacity
- On chip 5.25V regulator
- Direct connection to input voltage up to 27V
- User selectable dimming mode control
- Robust protection during abnormal open and short LED conditions
- Compensated external and internal PWM dimming operation
- Dedicated fault indication
- LED current and voltage monitoring
- RoHS compliant and halogen free
Energy efficiency is crucial in LCD TV applications as efficiency requirements driven by government entities become more stringent, as exemplified by the EnergyStar 5 standard from the US DOE. Traditional solutions utilize an input of 24VDC together with a DC-DC regulator to boost voltage and a current source to control the current/brightness for each LED string. While functional, this multi-stage architecture is highly inefficient.
The LX27901 utilizes Microsemi's EcoBrite™ technology, combining the TV power supply and LED driver into a single efficient unit, eliminating the need for a DC-DC boost regulator. EcoBrite also eliminates the need for a dissipative current source due to its patented reactive LED string balancing feature. In addition, the company's ACU_BRITE dimming technology provides non-dissipative and highly accurate dimming even at very low current levels.
Packaging and Availability
The LX27901 is offered in a plastic 16-pin small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) surface mounted package. Samples are available now and production quantities available with a 12 week lead time.
About Microsemi
Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC) offers a comprehensive portfolio of semiconductor solutions for: aerospace, defense and security; enterprise and communications; and medical, industrial and alternative energy markets.

Oregon's Academy of Family Physicians 1,300 members decided to no longer accept pharma supported grants (restricted and non-restricted) for its continuing education programs. And last month, the American Medical Association (AMA) Council on Ethical Judicial Affairs issued a report saying that physician and institutions of medicine should stop the practice altogether.
The idea doesn't seem to go down very well with the docs, however, according to a poll by Pri-Med, a continuing medical education provider. Out of 268 physicians, they found that 92 percent disagree with the AMA committee's call to end commercial support of CME. The overwhelming majority said, that among other things, it would make it harder for them to stay up-to-date, which in turn would affect patient care.
Is it possible, too, that the doctors were able to imagine what pharma-free CME would look like, and it didn't seem all that much fun? After all, where would the speakers come from? How would they be paid? What about the food? And where would the programs be held?
A glimpse is provided by Pharmedout.Org, (www.pharmedout.org) at Georgetown's Universary Medical Center, Department of Physiology and Biophysics along with the American Medical Student Association's (www.pharmfree.org) in their pamphlet "How to Hold Pharma-Free Meetings.â€
When it comes to finding speakers, they suggest using local talent. "Invite a physician from another department—for example, a surgery department could invite an infectious disease fellow to discuss antibiotics. As for payment? "Encourage speakers to forego an honorarium as a gesture of support for pharma-free education.†Or invite Federal employees. "Many wonderful scientists and physicians are employed by Federal agencies or state or county health departments. But what about the food? The organization suggests brown bagging it, or having potlucks in people's homes. They also offer a guide on how make sandwiches. And finally how to handle all those freebies? Confiscate them, of course. Replace all branded pens, sticky pads, and tote bags and cover the pharmaceutical logos on the items with Pharm-Free logos.
The AMA's report's recommendations will be taken up by the AMA House of Delegates at its annual meeting, June 14-18 in Chicago.

Pililia, Rizal
Major jump-off: Brgy. Hall of Malaya, Pililla
Days required / Hours to summit: 1 day / 3-4 hours
Specs: Minor climb, Difficulty 3/9, Trail class 1-3
Features: Views of Laguna Lake and Southern Tagalog mountains
The hiking advisory for Mt. Sembrano has been lifted as of August 2012.
At the helm of Jalajala peninsula, jutting into Laguna Lake like a frigate, is Mt. Sembrano in Pililla, Rizal. Once a haven of NPA insurgents, it is now a popular hiking destination. The trails are challenging for a daytrip, and takes 3-4 hours to climb. First there'll be a wide rough road which leads to a rocky path. Locals, if you encounter them, would offer to get fresh coconut juice for P10. Characteristic of the earlier portions of the trail are the numerous mango trees; it is like an orchard. If it is mango season, you might just be tempted to pick a fruit or two. Thus the area is called Manggahan – and there is a campsite here, before the trails become moderately steep (~45 degrees).
Fiery red flowers bloom from the trees, and the view, facing Laguna Lake, emerges. Finally after 1.5-2 hours in the woodland there will be the grassland. North Peak, the first high point, will be reached in 10 minutes, and some hikers prefer to camp here. From North Peak, the South Peak (summit) is still 30 minutes away, but you can already see the outline of the trail.
There are no markers in the summit, and sometimes grass overgrowth may obstruct the view. Although the heat can overwhelm the senses, the view at the peak is scenic, and is best appreciated in the late afternoon. Laguna Lake, Talim Island, the Sierra Madre, the Banahaw Trilogy, Mt. Makiling, and even a distant Mt. Arayat comprise its illustrious list of sights.
On the way down, you may visit the Manggahan Falls. It is just a small falls but it is a welcome sight after a long trek. The five-minute trail going there is right of the campsite if you're going down. Here you can shower at the lower parts, or get water in the higher sections of the falls. At the Brgy. Hall of Malaya, you may tidy up before going back to Manila. There and within the vicinity, you can ask around for shower rooms. On your trip back, the sun sets in Laguna Lake, and on clear days it is a nice sight to behold.
0500 Assembly at EDSA Crossing. Take jeep to Tanay, Rizal
0700 ETA Tanay Rizal; take jeep to Pililla (there's a queue of jeeps in the terminal)
0800 ETA Brgy. Malaya, Pililla (jump-off). Register.
0830 Start trek
0930 ETA Manggahan
1045 ETA North Peak
1130 ETA South Peak (summit). Lunch.
1230 Start descent.
1400 ETA Manggahan Falls.
1600 Back at jump-off, tidy up then take jeep back Tanay (or Manila)
2000 ETA Manila
EDSA Crossing is a good meeting place because from there, you can take a jeepney to Tanay, or rent a jeepney to take you straight to the jump-off. Expect to pay P70~P85 for the entire one-way trip (August 2012). Registration is done at the Brgy. Hall of Malaya; there's a fee of P20, and they give their cellphone number so that you may contact them in case of emergency. The Manggahan campsite caretakers collect an additional P10.
Sembrano, especially the summit area, is fully exposed to the sun; be advised that daytrips require extra energy. If climbing during the summer months, bring more water. If camping overnight, you may use Manggahan Falls as a water source. Cellphone signal is strong throughout the trail.
The absence of cover makes Sembrano, especially its summit, very hot at high noon, especially during summer months. Be advised accordingly. Also, be warned of kaingin activity during March-April. These human-caused brushfires pose a danger to hikers because they can engulf entire portions of the slopes in flames. Thus be extra cautious when climbing on these months.
Hunters used to frequent Mt. Sembrano but now their numbers dwindle. In Pakil, Laguna there is a trail that leads to Sembrano also, however, this is hardly documented and rarely used.
Although logistically difficult, a 'twin dayhikes' of Mt. Tagapo and Mt. Sembrano is possible. The blogger has done it twice - see Hiking matters #257 and #286.
Ownership of parts of Mt. Sembrano, it is said, belongs to a Fil-Chinese businessman. The etymology of "Sembrano" is unknown. If anyone knows where this name originated, kindly inform PinoyMountaineer.

Premier Programming Solutions, a software company that specializes in assistive-technology products for learning-disabled students, is giving away its products to schools, with the goal of installing its products in every U.S. school by 2003. The only requirement is that applicants must be a nonprofit organization, school, library, college or university. As of July, Steve Timmer, president and founder of Premier Programming Solutions, who is himself legally blind, said $6.5 million worth of software had been given away to about 500 educational and nonprofit organizations, including individual schools and entire districts. The grant program is set to end Oct.1, 2002.
Based in DeWitt, Mich., Premier Programming Solutions (517-668-8188; www.premier-programming.com) is giving away its Accessibility Suite to any school that cannot afford to buy assistive software for its learning-disabled students. But they don't have to prove it. We worked on the honor system, says Timmer. "We asked educators if they could afford to pay for it to do so. Because if they were given a grant, some other school who truly needed it may not get it."
Schools receiving the software package will get applications that convert printed materials into audio files, a talking word processor, a screen magnifier that enlarges screen images from 2X to 16X, and a talking Web browser and calculator, among other tools. The programs assist students who are diagnosed with learning disabilities - a broad term that includes vision and mobility impairments to learning. For now, the products focus on reading and writing, but Timmer says the company is planning to release products that cover math and assist the hearing impaired.
Timmer says he hopes to get his programs in every school in the United States over the next year - a considerably lofty goal. But according to the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs, schools nationwide have a need. More than 6 million children and youths currently receive special education and related services, while nearly 200,000 infants, toddlers and their families qualify for early intervention programs and services provided under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Timmer says his own informal research of more than 300 school districts revealed many schools did not have much of a budget for assistive technology, if any. If they did, they didn't have enough, or it was too complex and expensive for home use, he says.
"By providing schools with this type of grant, they are no longer limited to just the significantly impaired individuals," says Timmer. Students who are borderline and don't have a "learning disabled" label can now use it, and ESL students can also benefit from it, he says.
In addition, Timmer says his company is currently working with Canadian firm Global Etext to put together a program and seminar series on how to integrate assistive technology into the classroom and use it as a tool to learn. He's also counting on word-of-mouth to help spread the news about his company's products. In the meantime, Timmer is promising free upgrades and a full-time support staff for one year to all grantees. "Will we truly get every school? No," says Timmer. "But we're going to try."

"My Mother made these a couple of Christmas' ago, got recipe out of Bon Appetit. They were addictive! I'm so glad I found the recipe as we couldn't locate. She used Pecans, cashews and almond. I'm making them as gifts for co-workers. Also great sprinkled on top of Brie/Cranberry Pepper Jelly"
"I've made these numerous times...always a hit! I use the frozen Italian Meatballs, not quite that much Bourbon. Last time I made - didn't have Bourbon - substituted Red Wine - I think they were better :)"
"this is a keeper! my sis made - and now I've "stolen". You KNOW it's good - it's Giada's!! =)"
"my mother made this years ago - we make mashed potatoes first - with butter, milk, salt and pepper - then starting with cream cheese do everything else. Big hit always! Glad to find the recipe."
"this could be dessert!"
"Delicious! I increased cumin to 3teaspoons. Also added additional 1/4 t of White Pepper. Did not add cheese, served on the side. Reheats well!"
"made this weekend...oh my goodness...everyone went crazy. YUMMY!! HIGHEST recommendation :-)"
"It was delicious and a cinch to make. So refreshing!!"
"I microwave mine all the time! Thanks for taking the time to do this."
"Made this in 2002 when I received Southern Living. for family fall gathering. It's a keeper! Lost the recipe....thanks for putting it in. I agree, use really "ripe" pears, I mashed with pampered chef chopper. "

U 2 hot to trot, or walk, or ride rides or...?
2 hot to trot&or walk&or ride rides&or eat&or&?
Hello everyone. I am beginning my 2nd PTR and thank YOU for joining.
First the players:
Me: Dee 50 (yikes is that possible? 50 already? seems I was just 30) the planner. Vertically challenged& as in I have a balance disorder. J
DH: 52 (that is totally possible. Hehehe) professional computer system analyst, however has been displaced after 23 years in the same work place and is now paying the bills (and financing our Disney obsession) by working as Store manager.
DD#2: turns the big 1-0. Shhhh&This is her surprise http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...er11-12-12.jpg
sorry the pictures are so big. I have to figure out the new photobucket. They didn't transfer atleast 1 entire folder from the old site.
Well, I should also mention we have a total of 4 children. The oldest 3 are triplets and are currently finishing their final year(s) of college. They are:
DS#1 - commutes to college from home. Enjoys Disney once there, but wouldn't put the cash out himself to go.
DS#2 - lives at school, but is only about 1 hour drive away. Loves Disney, his dream is to work there.
DD#1 - same college as DS#2, but this year she began commuting. Loves Disney, especially trips her BF of 5 years can join us on.
I hate to do this, but I must be a bit of a downer for a moment. This is somewhat important in the planning of this trip. And may indeed alter whether we go this summer or not. That is yet to be seen.
We are DVC members. That's NOT the downer. :rotfl2: We had used all of our points from 2012 and most of them from 2013 for the a 30th anniversary trip in Nov. 2012. Therefore we had warned all concerned there would not be a 2013 trip. still, believe it or not, NOT the downer.
But…this is where this PTR begins.
As a family we have experienced great heart ache over the past 15 months. We find ourselves picking ourselves up, dusting ourselves off, only to get knocked off our feet again. The most recent heartache was the passing of my Dad in February. 11 months prior he had moved up north solely to be closer his family. DD9 was so excited at the thought he would be here for her 10th bday in August. And my college kids so very excited to have their "Bumpa" here when they graduated college this spring. We have all been knocked down by this. I mention this because, it may very well come into our WDW plans for this surprise summer trip.
that is my Dad from just a couple of months ago. He is wearing a hat we had given him when we surprised him by meeting up with him in Disney. It was Christmas time, so we had filled this hat as a Christmas stocking for him. That was about 15 years ago & he still kept it!
Gosh, your dad looks great in that picture. I'm so sorry for your loss. :hug:
It's so tough to deal with losing a loved one but you guys have lost so many this past year. I do hope that you are all able to go on the trip to enjoy some happy memories!
I'm definitely subscribing. You know you can't get rid of me! popcorn::
Thanks Bridget. He was doing so well. But, he had lung disease. He couldn't last forever. He had a framed picture of Jimny Cricket on his wall. He always used to sing that song. Even when I was little. I think I really believed he would live to 103 like he was recently singing. I have the picture now. It should hang in my Disney room, but at the moment it is in my dining room.
We shall do our best to get to Disney, but we will have to see as time goes how our youngest is dealing with her bday approaching and no Bumpa here. Being at WDW may be better, or it may be worse. We will have to judge as it gets closer. For now I will plan as if we are going.
Thanks for subscribing. Who would ever want to get rid of you??? :wave2:
Now on with the plans.
Shortly after returning from a wonderful fall trip I began to realize I cant go 2 years without returning. It is my happy place. I am most content when planning. So, at first I sulked. Then I thought how oh how
THEN I researched. What was the amount of DVC points we actually have available, and just how long of a stay could we possibly squeeze out of them. Maybe just a weekend? Even that would be good. Then DD wouldnt have to miss school. The college kids probably wouldnt be able to come anyway. Just the 3 of us in a studio for a weekend. Hmmmm... Maybe that would work MAYBE we had just enough points for a weekend trip. :scratchin
I'm soooo glad that you are able to plan another trip!!! I find Disney withdrawals are the WORST so why go through them? Just plan another trip!! :lmao:
So, I logged into the dvc website and began to research. 94 that is how many points we have left for the 2013 use year. 94. It usually takes apprx 250 points for our entire family to spend 8 days in the fall. I began to look into how many points it would take for a studio over one of DDs school breaks. Winter break nope. Spring ah no. No I dont think so. Maybe during the summer. OH, I have been in the summer, but I just hate the heat AND the crowds. I could do one or the other, but both? Sitting in a wheelchair in the heat for 40 minutes in line for a ride I cant ride. Just does not sound appealing. Thats when it hit me. The losses. The sadness my youngest has had to experience in such a short time. Two grandparents & an "uncle" in 10months, (at the time).I could sit in the heat forever if she could get a break from that. That did it. I had to try to make it happen. Her birthday is in August. We have gone on DH bday, our anniversary, the triplets high school graduation. She has watched longingly as the CMs paid extra attention to us. As we receive cupcakes, and confetti. I have always told her there is no way I can make it through the heat and humidity of August. She would never expect it. SO, I began to look at points for August. Would it be possible to be there for her actual birthday?
Could I sustain when it was 2 hot to trot, wheel, walk, ride the rides. None of it mattered .but I do really really hate the heat and humidity in the chair. Could I stick to this? (no pun intended). Or will I back out. Would I look for an excuse to change the dates to the fall?
Dee! I didn't realize you had a PTR going! I wish you'd tell me these things, sometimes I am not as observant as I like to think I am. LOL
First - you have a beautiful family... YOu and your DH are so cute together!
Secondly, I am so very sorry for your losses. YOur dad looks like such a happy and vibrant man, I can't imagine what a blow that must have been for you all. (((Hugs)))
I think an August trip is a fabulous idea to make the blues go away... I hope you are able to make it work! Would our dates overlap? I'd love to meet up if we can make it work. :)
Ok - gotta run... Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your plans. :)
Thank you for the condolences.
We (Hopefully) will be there August 20 - 26. When are you going to be there? I would love to meet!
YAY!!! That's longer than a weekend!!!! :cool1:

A big lady old titanal asian fuck - As he raised my skirt and pressed his rock hard cock all the way into my moist depths. "I guess getting arrested would really make your birthday memorable, huh?" His breathing changed as he fucked me in hard powerful strokes and he let out a kind of strangled growl as he raced to his climax.

Maggie hit her orgasm and fell on top of me, mopping her tits in my face. As a reaction I took on tit in her mouth and munched it gently with my teeth. "You're a great lay kid.

'Nah, if you did something like that for me,' he paused, hoping that she wouldn't get mad at him. 'I'd want you to do it,' he smiled and felt blood rushing between his legs, just thinking of Nora in her awesome waitress outfit and her spoiling him. Nora felt a warm, exciting rush of love in her heart when she heard what Ben said. 'You're a silly, silly boy. You should see some of the girls' I work with.

She had some serious butterflies in her stomach. She gathered her things and walked out of the house to her car.
