Potential difference
John K.
Big Bedini Motor
Hey John,
I am still hanging around and do frequent the Earth Light thread. Not something that I am really into, but probably more for the shear purpose to read what you have to share. You are wealth of knowledge and are an inspiration to many people. My wife calls it a "man crush." I don't disagree with her, I would be a fool to. I love my wife very much!
Now with all the awkwardness out of the way...
I feel like I may have bitten off more than I can chew with my BFW build. There seems to be so many pieces to the puzzle that I just can't see and more important not sure if I would even know it if I did see it! I am fascinated by this technology, but it seems that so very few people actually know what it is or even know what they are looking for. That's me! Not even sure what I am looking for. I just know that there is something magical, maybe even mystical that draws me to this stuff. Maybe it is just the challenge of trying to figure out this riddle. I read as much as I can on the groups, attend the conferences and more importantly build as much as I can. I continue to learn and appreciate all that you do for this industry!!!
None of us would be here if it wasn't for you!!!
Thanks for all you do and share,
P.S. Hell yeah! I think I speak for everyone when I say that we would love for you to open the box and show us what is inside!!! Hooah!
This is how I've been doing it for a while now.
although I like to use the MJL w/o the relay for my generator coil.

Whats up with our wifes and John B
I have the same kind of thing with my wife and John. She doesnt pay any attention to most the things I watch, read or build. But I put something of Johns on and she will come over and watch with me. She sz that he is a very intelligent man, you can tell by his sexy voice and dark eyes.
WHATS UP??? I guess john is some kind of Chick magnet. A wild and crazy guy.
All in fun. Thanks john for all you do
What is in the box
@ All,
You are going to be surprised when Chuck and I open that box as I told you all it is just an opto fet switch that just works by the breakdown of the fet. Easy one to do can be done with a sidac to fire the led in the opto fet switch. But I guess I must open the box for you all to believe me. Chuck and I will do it tomorrow for you all. You guys are smart here and should understand what I'm saying. The capacitor just charges to about 48 volts and the fet goes into negative breakdown and the energy is delivered to the secondary batteries as the coils fire. Come on guys the Sidac does this easy with an opto fet dc switch. no real power required.
John B
Can't wait
John B,
I'll be eager to see what you show us tomorrow!
48V? You didn't just say that!?! All this time I thought we were charging to double the battery voltage, which would be 72V. Its no wonder my hair is going grey...
Thanks, Brent
@Ed - BTW and I'm not sure why I am clarifying this, but my wife thinks I have the "man crush." Energy this, energy that and John Bedini this, John Bedini that. Sometimes its all she hears about. Oh well...
the way I would like to do it is w/ a solid state relay minus the second mjl.
when I use the mechanical relay w/o the second mjl, the relay eventually freezes :-)
also, on the lead in MJL I can add more in series to increase the target voltage.
I dont think so
Remember what I said about the capacitor, it's rated at 65 volts 75 volts max serge so you can not wait for it to reach that voltage as the switch breaks down before that, But look in the box. The high voltage destroys that cap 72 volts would be double and that is too much for the switch at that current of 5.2 amps which is 374.4 watts. The machine was only using 1.5 amps at 36 volts or 54 watts Did you not watch the meters at the conference. When the meters were pegged after running the current was down on the secondary batteries to 3.3 amps at 48 volts or 158.4 watts float. and that makes the batteries standing at 16 volts
But your correct about doubling the voltage for a battery. So why would you have gray hair over this as that is where the machine was running. I ran this machine two times and it was at the same power level both times. This is what I have in my notes on this machine. I would have liked to have double the voltage as I have always said, not with that switch. You only need to be two to three volts over the battery to charge them but you really want to push them to 15.5 to 16 volts max or the power is just being wasted in heat in the battery. Even Ricks SG 30 coiler was only pushing the batteries to 16 volts. John K even turned it down to not over boil the batteries.
But just look in the box and you will see, go get your hair dyed your wife will love you as a new man.
Damn I should have opened the box for John K when you were here.

The Box
Ok here is what is in the box just as I told you.
Anything else here?. As I said your machine should work with a number of variations. You just need to stop looking at things one way as if this thing came out of some text book. Back to my Crystal Batteries Now
FET Switching
Thank you John for giving us a look inside the box. We've all been very curious! Using the opto-coupled SSR package makes for very covenient mounting inside the box. Saves having to heatsink and mount a seperate FET plus you already have screw terminals for connecting to the cap and meter.
As usual an elegant design!
Thanks again,
The Box
Could you please post the part number of the SSR? The video didn't quite focus on it. I want to go look at what the breakdown voltage is. I'm betting it will be about 12v.
I tried a different way of doing this with an opto (H11D1) and a FET last night, but not in breakdown mode as the BVdss was too high on the FET. I could get it to switch on no problem at about 12v over the battery voltage but had problems getting it to switch off. But you had me thinking.
Also looked at SIDACs but most of the ones I found had a voltage range of say, 100v - 125v. Couldn't find one in the range we are switching.
John K.
P.S. You were right again with the FETs on the SSG. Great if you want torque with recovery, but the MJLs gave better charging but less torque. Will give you a call about it.
Ssr #
John K,
It looks like a Douglas Randall Model K08A or K12A. Its hard to tell. The K08A is rated 8A and 32VDC on the load side and the K12A at 12A. Each is described as a bipolar transistor switch. Not much more information available.
John B,
Very NICE!!!
Just so you know, I am not here questioning the truth of what you say about your lifes work, I am merely trying to better my understanding. I get the impression that you think we don't belive you. It is that you are light years ahead of most of us. Doing my best to try and keep up!
Many thanks, Brent
Double pulse
Thanks John,
I know this is not about "whats in the box", but I started the mini wheel up the
other day and since I made a few small adjustments. I picked up this scope shot
while I was slowing down the wheel with my finger, and am not sure as to what
is happening. Looks like two, pulses. I did put slightly large neo's behind the
ceramic's than the ones I had in there.
Also there is no sound.. don't know what is going on. But if any one can shed
some light on this, thanks.
That's a 63V 22000uf cap and the input was at 30 v and .23 amps.
You can see how fast the cap is dumping.

Here is the video.

So when you use the term costly, did you mean energy-wise or $$-wise? At the time I assumed $$'s
Is this why you pursued the comparator?
It's all in the t...t..t.timing
I did an experiment to show the timing of the coil discharge pulse by using John's method of an LED over the coil and reflective marlings on the rotor magnets.
What I found was that when I tuned the 10 coiler so that the coil discharged exactly half way in between the rotor magnets, the wheel sped up. But if the coil discharge pulse was either side of the half way mark the wheel would slow down.
I believe the reason why the rotor speeds up is because when the coil discharges and the poles flip, the scalar South is being repelled by the normal South on the top of the coil. This also "sucks in" the next oncoming North magnet.
This is also why John has such a long duty cycle (50% IIRC) on the Ferris Wheel. We want to take advantage of the scalar South.
Ring the bell twice!

Here's a video: Bedini Monopole SSG Timing - YouTube

Why 48V?
John B,
Because there was so much confusion on this topic (capacitor discharge voltage) I would like to ask a question...
Why did you choose discharging the capacitor at 48V vs. 72V? Is it because you were trying to achieve a certain frequency? Or is there more to it?
I get that a battery is fully charged at the 15.5 to 16V range. Peter L. did a great job in describing that at the last conference.
Thanks, Brent
48V Cap Dump
The 48V level of the cap seems to be where the opto coupler FET in the box breaksdown and dumps the negative spike to the battery. I don't think the 48V was picked as much as thats what it turned to be.
Great video, thanks for sharing it. Have you had a chance to correlate the timing shown to charging rate?
That being said, he spent another few more months before settling on the comparator, why? He's always tweaking, making things work better. So there are many other ways to make it work. Look what he ended up having to do to make the smaller builds work. We're here to learn rather than follow a recipe right?
I've thought long and hard on this, otherwise, since it is such a simple device why not show it from the get-go.
48V dump
You may be right, but I have a hard time believing that JB didn't pick 48V for some specific reason. There was some thought behind it! Just curious what it is...
Best Regards, Brent
@ All
@ All,
Thanks John K for posting that information as that is very important in the operation of the machine.
Not only the SG but the Ferris Wheel. The Ferris Wheel is more of a motor then the SG. The reason why is because of the switching.
@ Minoly,
The machine was Costly to build as it was a pro-type. The Comparator I always had and I did not want to use it, as the DC fet switch did what I wanted it to do.
@ Brent,
I used that DC switch because it was in the range to charge the batteries without over charging.
You guys are going to have to pick a DC switch that works with your batteries, because these DC switches do not all work the same. That is why I said a sidac, Low voltage should be chosen to fire the switch. If you watched the output meter you could see it discharging after each pulse as John K has point out to you. When I showed the wheel starting on it's own and where it stopped was the point the DC switch discharges. Then the wheel goes in the clockwise direction for running. In Other Words the wheel starts in reverse then slams agents the magnetic field and stops then it goes forward. After that every time a magnet passes the pole you get a discharge to the secondary batteries.
The important thing is the timing between the poles the motor part must be completely off , not one bit of leakage on that switch.
John B
@ All Too
The reason for 48v? John already said that is what 3 x 16v is. He also said it prevents the batteries from over-charging. It is a potential switch that will not work once the batteries are fully charged. No point running the machine after that as it is just wasting the energy.
The batteries are charging at the rate they want to charge without current. I don't want to push them with current. Note that the electrolyte tempearture is lower in the charge battery than the primary battery - cold charging. With the SG circuit the RPM will regulate according to the impedance of the charge battery - self regulating impedance matching machine like John has always said.
Yes, the comparator would work, but would be harder to do with one wire as the 741 requires a stable reference voltage so you need voltage regulators and a bunch of components to make it work. And why do all that when John has now shown you can do it with one device?
The machine is basically a very efficient motor (54W to turn a 13' wheel!) that also recovers all of the energy that is normally wasted into another battery. The modified Bedini/Cole circuit gives a lot of torque for not much energy because there is no drag. The hub section also keeps the primary charged. It needs to be looked at very simply, there are no physics laws being broken here and no voodoo to look for.
Once you have the circuits built properly you just adjust the timing like you would a car. The timing is very important as John says. Once you have that, you just walk away and figure out what you're going to do with the all the energy - electrical and mechanical.
John K.
My solution works nicely, the only draw back is the 2nd tranny heats up something fierce, maybe put a big heat sink on it and warm the house while I'm at it LOL.
so is it a k08a relay?

iSpeed Date – Review
Hello, my good people of Earth! Having a good time? Me too.
Since I'm in a somewhat visitor streak, I've decided to make another review! This time the episode will be…
iSpeed Date!
That's right, it's iSpeed Date review time.
Now a few of you guys will most likely go like, "Say what?" or "What the…?" or even "Bloody hell!"
To those I say only this: read the review. I'll explain later why I'm reviewing this episode.
Review, go!
Ridgeway is one of the safest schools ever. You know why? Because the girls who attend the girls choice dance must submit their medical records to the school nurse. That's why. I don't know why that is, though.
Carly has an eye set on a guy. She's asking him to go with her to the girls choice dance with her. And you see a little thing coming out of Carly's lip and into Nate's eye. Is it a kiss? Possib… *shocked* Nope…, it's a teeny-tiny ball of saliva.
But anyway, Carly got rejected. She was beaten to the punch by none other than the famous, beautiful, incredible… Rebecca Berkowitz. Right now, I'm at a loss for words. But Carly doesn't get mad, she's not a sore loser. And Nate could barely keep his eye open.
Sam's at her locker and she saw the hole thing, but apparently didn't hear it. Come on, Sam, it's not that far from your locker to where they were chatting, you must have heard everything. *Bad cop mode* Every. Sordid. Detail.
Carly doesn't want to go out with any other boy in school. And as if on cue ("as if…") Freddie appears. And Sam wouldn't be herself if she didn't seize the opportunity to insult Freddie. But look, Freddie's prepared for that! He's drawing his secret weapon, a bag of bacon? What is this, a police movie? You're bribing Sam?
But apparently it worked. Carly now tells Freddie that she spit in Nate's eye and now is dateless.
Now Carly redirects the conversation to Sam. I'm so glad she did. Because that will allow me to use the latest weapon in my arsenal of things I can use… The Seddie Alert Button! *presses the Seddie Alert Button*
*a purple light fills the room* You see, I programmed the Seddie alert button to… Oh, you don't care.
Anyway, listen Sam's reply and look at her eyes and left thumb. Her eyes turn to Freddie when she says "he should ask me". And now Freddie's pondering look. I coined that term, because it's like he's looking at a different timeline in which he did ask Sam to the Dance. And he likes what he sees…
"There are no guys at this school that don't make me sick. This is good bacon." I don't really know how to comment this.
*presses Seddie alert button*
"Any desperate girls asked you out yet?" Really, Sam? Be on the lookout, Karma. What goes around, comes around…
Freddie's reply is actually intriguing. He says 2 girls asked him out, Jamie and Ariana. I was drinking a coke when I heard this and I literally choked. Ariana? As in Ariana Grande, the actress who portrays "Cat" on Victorious? Now I think I'm overspeculating…
And now here's a reply from Carly which got another fail-flirt from Freddie (try saying that 3 times, come on, I dare you.)
We are introduced to Meleka, or Melika… I don't know how to spell it. She's a magician. I like magic… "Do you believe in magic?" For those who don't know, that was an American Pie reference.
A blank piece of paper! Meleka announced it like it was something epic.
After Meleka says "feel inside your pocket", Freddie's face is one of terror. The seconds slow down as he places a hand inside his pocket. Time seems to freeze as he does not know what is contained within the folds of his coat. All of that, for a piece of paper.
Hold it! A paper that contains an invitation. Girls that asked Freddie: 3
I must be honest, that disappearing-Meleka-appearing-Gibby trick is incredible!
I know whose banana that is!! I know!! I don't know the character's name, but I know what the character does. It's that lady that is Ted's assistant.
| Setting: The Shay's living room |
Spencer is building another of his trademark sculptures. This one looks pretty good!
And the beauty of it resides in the fact that Spencer does not know what the sculpture is!! To quote him, the sculpture is either going to be "a bunny or an abstract representation of the overmechanization of modern society". No matter how many reviews I write, how many references I make, I don't know how to respond to this. But look! He bends to his sister's will! Well, not really, but you know what I meant.
As any loving parent, or in this case, legal guardian would do, Spencer asks Carly how was school. And now, we learn 2 things. That in the Schneiderverse, Twitter exists and that iCarly has a profile in it. And that Spencer follows iCarly.
Aw, Carly, it's not the entire world… it's just about 105 million people… That's hardly the entire world…
Time for "Exercising with Spencer"! The exercise for today is: Squat thrusts. Please give it your all for the… oh, the exercise's over.
180 times a day? What if that thing wakes you up in the middle of the night? I think 30 1-minute workouts would be better, but that's just my opinion.
And when Carly brings an actually good idea to the proverbial table, Spencer dismisses it.
Go to the gym 180 times a day? Stoopid!
Sam's here! Get your revenge, Carly! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO…
Carly, one little pointer. Twitter was created for people to post info on their own personal spits. That's a fact. Or not.
The point here is that a girl can be desperate and not sound it.
The "crotchety" joke is WAY more funny in the original version than in the Portuguese version.
| Transition to: The iCarly studio |
We are given the chance to watch the premiere of another Pathetic Play. Also, I'd like to point out that these Pathetic Plays have EXTREMELY subtle titles. Take this for example: The Englishman Who Was A Terrible Father To His Two Children Named Fuffley And Peeta. As you can see, this is a cryptic title. You can't guess anything from this title. Because it's already there! *hears crickets* Phoebe, did you turn on the cricket sounds? *Phoebe says no* Okay, moving on…
The Englishman is knitting himself a pair of trousers. And his children are ever so hungry. They haven't eaten since Tuesday. I'm sorry, Myonday. I think Myonday is after Freeday, isn't it?
But the kids can get into the father's icy cold heart… And he feeds them… pushpins.
The father's reason for pushpins is that they're colorful and pointy. But here I find a flaw on the father's logic. Not all colorful and pointy things are good.
If my father asked me to floss his toes, I'd move out immediately. Unless he couldn't do it himself.
Fuffley's "I think I might vomit!" is incredible.
Now is the part where Sam puts her diabolical evil mastermindish plot of doom into action…
A lesson for my readers: when your blond friend makes you sit in a chair that that handcuffs on it, and covers your mouth with ducttape WHILE fimling your webshow, it means she's up to no good. By now, it should be too late to fight back, so your only option is to fight pointlessly and hope that whatever she does isn't that bad… which it will probably be.
| Timeskip to: The Shay's kitchen |
Now Carly's mad at Sam for what she did on the show. The only way a diabolical evil mastermindish plot of doom can be beaten is with a, get ready for this…
a more diabolical evil mastermindish plot of doom!
You weren't expecting this, were you?
But no, Carly only slapped her hand.
If someone created a group of Splashface named "I like stating the obvious", Spencer would join.
The phone's more important than the grocery items. He almost drops them on top of his sister!
Sam's line here is filled with awesomeness, with whipcream on top. She warns Carly that she's dropping stuff, but doesn't pick it up!
A good agreement between best friends. Gibby is included in the agreement. And this is where Samantha Puckett's week started going wrong…
Spencer's phone rang again. While Freddie walks down the stairs.
Freddie got hit! And Sam applauds.
| Transition to: Ridgeway High School |
Freddie's bummed…
Sam goes on to slap him for absolutely no reason other than to bother him and amuse her.
"I'm not in the mood, Puckett!" Mood for whaaaaaaat? *turns head sideways as if implying something*
So that's why he's bummed.
And Gibby's chuckling… Why is that?
Freddie is forcing Sam to uphold his part of the bargain. "Hurry along…"
Gibby is deniying an invitation from Sam Puckett. He's dead.
First, Sam is forced to ask Gibby to the dance, and he says no. Then, Freddie laughs at her. Not helping, Freddie.
"How many guys you think are gonna show up?"
| Timeskip to: The Groovy Smoothie |
752 guys. Does that answer your question, Sam?
A little continuity error I noticed: Right after this timeskip, Sam is standing beside Freddie on the Groovy Smoothie, but when the episode resumes, she's in the middle of the crowd, as if she just got there.
## Commercial Break ##
I wish I could be in that "giant sea of boy". At least I'd meet the cast.
Speed dating?
"6 of my mom's best relationships started in 15 seconds." That's not creepy at all…
++ Math Time with Rob! ++
15 seconds a guy, right? That's 4 guys in one minute. Which means 40 muys in 10 minutes. By that logic, they were there for about 3 hours, 8 minutes and 25 seconds. Yes, Austin is counted twice. And I left 10 seconds for a surprise guest.
Calculations are presented below:
1 guy –> 15 seconds
4 guys –> 60 seconds
40 guys –> 600 seconds (10 minutes)
240 guys –> 3600 seconds (1 hour)
480 guys –> 7200 seconds (2 hours)
720 guys –> 10800 seconds (3 hours)
4 guys –> 60 seconds
32 guys –> 480 seconds (8 minutes)
That is, taking into account that all the "participants" stayed until the end of their 15 seconds of fame.
++ And that was Math Time with Rob! ++
| Timeskip to: The speed date place, in the Groovy Smoothie |
I have nothing against speed dating, but if Carly talks all through the 15 seconds, it's not that much of a date.
Clark only wants to make out with Carly. NEXT!!
Kevin's even worse. Nothing against fishing lures, my cat's bedtime is way later than that, and I won't comment on the odd odor thing. And we see Freddie using sarcasm. NEXT!!
Sam keeps interrupting the guy who's trying to be interviewed. And he's boring her. NEXT!!
T-Bo's marketing skills and sense of opportunity aren't that great…
Back to Freddie. He's interviewing a male model. Well, he WAS a male model, but he quit, 'cause now he's the lead singer of this really cool band of whom I never heard of. I think it's every girl's dream. NEXT!!
Spencer's interviewing an artist when his phone rang. The exercise was hip swiveling. The kid is now mentally scarred.
On Carly's table, we see her and a guy happily talking. He's Austin. He loves to interrupt other people when they are talking by saying random stuff. His personal best is 18 people. He's currently training for the 2012 Olymp… *someone says "The other day, I was drinking a soda and it had bubbles!"* CUT IT OUT, AUSTIN!
So, she ends up choosing Mr. I-Like-Interrupting-You-For-No-Adequately-Explored-Reason to go to the dance.
| Transition to: Bushwell Plaza |
Whoa, Carlay! Wow!
Spencer's failed attempt at starting "the talk" never fails to make me laugh. And on the Portuguese dub, it seems kinda forced the way Spencer says "Thank you so much!".
Whoa, a GX250!!! What's that?
Your brother has a Dycon Supershot? I have one of those! But I think mine's counterfeited. It has "Cyber-shot" and "Sony" written all over it.
"You crazy kids."
And Spencer's phone rings again! This time, sit-ups!
"And done."
| Transition to: A house |
We see a house. But who lives there?
Whoa, what is Sam doing here in… *looks at mailbox* the Gibson's house?
Gibby? Gibby's last name is Gibson? His full name is Gibby Gibson? What has the world turned to…
This is the kind of lines that makes me laugh everytime I hear it. "I used a leave-in conditioner. They have that now."
Only Sam could make a guy do something against his will even after a clear "Nah, I'm good".
Oh, Gibby's not afraid of you, Sam. He's just busy… with stuff.
Finally, they meet. The girl who wants to take Gibby to the dance, and the girl Gibby's having a date with.
"Who's she?" Tasha's clearly jealous.
"Who's you?" Sam's just surprised
Is it me, or does Gibby look like a miniature Hugh Hefner? For those of you who don't know who Hugh Hefner is, he's the creator of a multi-million dollar franchise called simply Playboy.
"Nothing, nothing at all!"
So THAT'S why he didn't go to the dance.
And now Sam has lost a bit of her self-esteem…
| Timeskip to: The Groovy Smoothie |
This is the dance's afterparty.
And here we go again… Austin's back at it…
Meleka's magic tricks, while cool, they violate one of the Magician's Code of Conduct: A magic trick may never hurt a human being, either physically, mentally, emotionally or with a shoe.
This is getting annoying… I saw bears too.
I agree with you, Freddie.
The most useful thing Austin has said all night. The introduction of Celebrities Underwater. I think I saw something on Dan's Fun Facts about a real show named Celebrities Underwater premiering on Fox…
Carly's devious side is brought up.
I love that song…
Dan's mind is a twisted maze of awesomeness. No offense intended, Dan. Please take note that Freddie doesn't say a word until the singer of the song on the radio has stopped singing that verse. It's as if he wanted us to hear the music and associate it with the events that took place that night…
T-Bo's evil smirk… he knows what's coming… Do you? (by the way, this is foreshadowing to another event.)
And this is the part where about 98% of all Seddieshippers take a knife and try to kill me with it.
Before you do so, please hear me out. In the beginning of the show, Freddie would be so super excited just to pick up a bottle of water Carly dropped unintentionally. He was grinning then at the mere sight of Carly. Now, he actually gets to hold her in his arms *feels weapons getting ready* Wait, wait, wait, wait!! And look at his face! A half-smile! His mind's not even there in that moment. He's clearly not enjoying it as much as little Freddie from Season 1 would. Now, before you sink your knives into my flesh, think about it.
And now, it gets better.
*presses the Seddie Alert Button* Sam arrives at the Groovy Smoothie and sees them dance. But she can't see Freddie's face! She can't evaluate how he's feeling! Therefore, she assumes he's enjoying the dance with Carly, and leaves the Groovy Smoothie. Some fans say she was crying. We know now she doesn't hate iCarly's resident nub.
And just like it happened before… the song fits the imagery in an intense, profound way… another example of how Hollywood magic mimics real life. *presses the Seddie Alert Button*
My 2 dollars (I wanted to be different): This episode explored a bit more into the 2 relationships between the main characters. Starting from Sam's bacon speech, to the Carly and Freddie dance, to Sam's unadvertized realization. This is a red-letter episode for all shipping fans. Besides, this is the episode that got me hooked on iCarly. So, Mr. DanWarp, you deserve one of these. *clapping sounds*.
A quick reminder: I'm still running a contest on this page. You can still sign up.
So, until we meet again, have a Seddietastic Seddietember and have your daily Seddie Fix!

Comments about Tagalong Wicker Bicycle Basket:
I thought my little Shih-Tzu might be scared riding in this, but she loved it! It is the perfect size for her (11 pounds), and a hook inside the basket connects to her harness so I don't have to worry about her jumping out. It is a bit cumbersome to manuever while riding, but I am getting used to it. It is fun being able to bike-ride with my little dog. She sits and looks around like she is having the best time!
I did expect the basket to be made from real wicker. It is not... it is made of a plastic, but strongly-woven material that seems to be very sturdy. I would have rather it been made of real wicker. Overall, we are both very pleased with this product, and look forward to many happy rides together.

Comments about Tagalong Wicker Bicycle Basket:
We just got our basket today and attached it to my bike which was very simple. My dogs love it!!!!! The only negative thing I have to say is that I have to take them one at time, so I ordered another for my daughters bike so both dogs can go. The basket is roomy enough and they seem to be very comfortable. With the basket in the front of the bike it makes it a little harder to steer.

Why wouldn't he? What again did he do wrong? Putting it in context I am not sure how he can be reprimanded. He's allowed discretion. Hiring people suggested by politicians is not an abuse of discretion. He's performed his job responsibilities. Because Mulligan and a few others don't like his style that's too bad.
Mulligan, the sanctamonious bastard, is a judge because he's from a politically connected family. (Remember Boston corporation counsel Joe Mulligan.) Judge Mulligan was interviewed for the story in which he bitched and moaned about O'Brien. It was clear from his quotes he does not like the guy. It was also clear the Judge Mulligan was aware of what the Globe reported. So again, why act now?
Hey Judge Mulligan; who hires all the court officers and security guards in the courts around the Commonwealth? Are you saying your Honor, that none of those hires were made with some prodding of a rep or senator? You never take a call from a politician and then try to accomodate? How about an audit of all the court employees you have hired? Let's see who's who through out your dynasty.
Nowhere in the Spotlight series do we see any evidence of corruption. His decisions maybe questionable. But show me a consistent pattern of abuse please. Not a consistent hiring pattern of the politically connected. If that is the problem then Judge Mulligan should go too.
Here's the money quote from Maggie Marshall
"We are deeply concerned with not only the proper administration of the Probation Department, but with how such reports may affect the public's perception of the integrity of all aspects of the judicial branch,"
In other words Jack O'Brien 's job hirings should not have become public. Because it did they must now act? Sorry judge, that reason does not cut it. By the way Judge, did you have anyone make a call for you when you were in the running fdor the SJC post? Would it have been unethical if you did? What about your fellow judges? Who did they know. What about Judge Cordy?
Where do we draw the line? I guess good patronage is alright but bad patronage is not and like porno we know it when we see it.
Perhaps the court will come up with a definition of patronage and a formular for the percenatge of patronage hires within the probation department. Sort of like a Roe v. Wade trimester reasoning. Result oriented. Just like the SJC likes.
P.S. Expect Petro to lose that lame Spaker Pro tem title come January. This is just what Booby D. needs to rid himself of Petro.
P.S.S. How much of this Spotlight thing was Johnny Rogers doing? A cape house thief yelling about abuse. Another fraud.

Coyote Flats State Forest
State Reforestation Area Jefferson #10
View Coyote Flats State Forest Map || Google Earth || State Lands Interactive Mapper
This 553 acre state forest was named Coyote Flats in the 1970's, at a time when the coyote was first making a come back in the north country. It was aptly named since the entire forest is comprised of low, flat, wet bottomland often frequented by prowling coyotes. Streams flowing through the area are sporadically dammed by beaver, often inundating large sections of the forest. In addition to coyotes and beaver, other abundant wildlife occurring on the area include white-tailed deer, muskrat, mink, and waterfowl. Also, grouse can often be found in the aspen stands.
Among the common tree species found here are aspen, white pine, hemlock, and red maple. Because of the wet ground conditions, timber harvesting from this state forest is extremely limited. Foot access to the area is from the west, along the Coyote trail. This trail is limited to motor vehicle access for people with disabilities by permit.
From Watertown, take US Interstate 81 north to exit 49. Make a right onto Route 411 east. Travel about 1/4 mile and turn right on Snell road. Proceed 2 miles.

Hi forum-goers,
I am currently available for any freelance art or animation work.

I am proficient in 3DsMax, mental ray, Character Studio, Blender, Backburner, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere, Gimp and Unity.
I have been working on my own iPhone game in my spare time and have completed all art assets for it, though the development is hanging in limbo...
One published game that I contributed to can be played at ESPN Arcade here: http://es.pn/e3Lyok
I created the background textures and animations.
My rates are flexible depending on the project. Feel free to email me for an estimate or any other questions.

Did great work on my recent 3D game demo project!
Hi to All,
I just want to let others know Pete does great 3D work and is very reasonable. We just completed a couple weeks work on a 3D demo for a physical game and I am very happy with his attention to detail and overall responsiveness. We will be doing more biz...
He did fantastic with the bot movements and ball action... really captured the feel of the game. I am now adding sound elements to the demo.
I would like to make this a video game, it would be great...just need help.. let me know.
Here is a pic.

Thanks for the kind words Thom!
I enjoyed working with you and would be happy to do it again in the future.
Here's a couple pics of some other work I've recently finished, a high-poly but untextured pickup truck (just threw a quick procedural material on it for the render).
I will be posting other images soon
Here are the promised images, can anyone guess who this handsome chap is?
He's actually quite low poly - less than 2000 triangles. Theres just a lot of smoothing in these images. So it wouldn't take much to get him game engine ready.
Next up I want to model a tongue and some teeth so I can give him some expressions and animate him saying a few lines! It'll be shiny

I still have some free time if anyone has some work available.
I'm currently doing some "faked 2D" sprite animations (still using 3ds max for it) but can't post them online just yet as the project is under wraps for now.
This is a night-time port scene I made a little while ago but it didn't end up getting used for anything. Its less than 3500 triangles with eleven 512x512 textures and baked lighting so it should work well on mobile platforms.

I'm available again now, it won't last! Busy bee Get in touch if you need some 3D work done.
I have been doing some work for Seunta LLC. Here is what they had to say about me:
"Peter's tenacity and skill at problem solving is priceless. It takes a certain level of passion for what you are doing to maintain enthusiasm after the many hours it takes for some projects. We feel fortunate to have connected with him." -Sherry Carr, CEO, Seunta LLC [Chimera: Realm of the Horse]

Mr. Laurent
Hey all,
Just wanted to drop in and let you know Peter Laurent is freaking fantastic at turning sketches into 3D models.
I'm working on a game called Solomon Dark, and because of the need for more animations of the title character, I hired Peter because he claimed he could make the cloth do exactly what I wanted it to do.
I had my doubts, but hired him tentatively.
I sent him sketches. I described what I wanted. And then he sent back models that looked so much like my sketches that I was rubbing my eyes. And every control I requested was right there and easy to use. What more can you ask? Well, I asked for a revisions and he got them to me at extreme speed.
If you're a fan of Solomon's Keep or Solomon's Boneyard, you'll see a lot more of Solomon in future games because of Peter's modelling, cloth, and rigging.
I liked his work so much I hired him over and over again, to brilliantly turn sketches into 3D game objects.
Solomon Dark isn't done yet, but when it is, most of the statues and most of the clothes were modelled by Peter. You should hire him, but try not to take up too much of his time because I need him to do a few more things.
All quiet on the front
Hello, it's been a loong time since I posted on TouchArcade! Wasn't that a kind message John Raptis posted above
Sadly towards the end of last year I had little work coming in, so I made the best of it and wrote a book. Yep really!
It's a fun SciFi novel that hit the Bestseller List on Amazon at #5 in SciFi Adventure back in February. Check it out: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B95YRQ8/
While I am writing the sequel at the moment, I still do 3D stuff as well, so get in touch if you need anything!

ASHBURN, Va. - Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher is heading to his third consecutive Pro Bowl, replacing an injured Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears.
Fletcher led the NFL in tackles, forced three fumbles, and had two interceptions and 1 1/2 sacks.
Fletcher once referred to himself as "the Susan Lucci of the NFL" because he had yet to be rewarded with a trip to the Pro Bowl. In 2010, Fletcher made it for the first time when Jonathan Vilma of the New Orleans Saints couldn't play because the game was being held before the Super Bowl.
Last season, Fletcher got in again at the last minute _ after Urlacher withdrew because of an injury. This season, Urlacher hurt his left knee in Chicago's last game.

Are Kim and Kanye getting married in Italy?
JUST ADDED: 5 Seconds of Summer will be rocking the stage at this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival Village in Las Vegas! The band sat down with Ryan Seacrest to break the news.�Click here to buy your tickets now, before they sell out!
Check out the full lineup for this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival
On guard! The wedding of the year is set to take place at a 16th century fortress. How's that for privacy!
A source revealed to People Magazine that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will marry at the breathtaking Forte di Belvedere in Florence – a huge 16th century fortress once used to protect the city in battle.
The fort, which reopened to the public in 2013 after five years of renovations, is known for its sweeping panoramas and the fabulous contemporary art exhibitions it hosts. Reports in the Italian media on Friday also pegged Belvedere as the wedding site.
While many of us thought Paris would be the site of their nuptials, the sneaky couple has pulled a fast one and has changed locations, perhaps after they could not secure their first choice, the Palace of Versailles.
The popular couple is allegedly spending some 300,000 euros to rent the property on the weekend of May 24. The festivities could begin with a dinner in Paris, with the guests being flown to Italy later for the nuptials.
West has spent "several days" in Florence this week, says a source, and has been meeting with Ermanno Scervino at the Italian designer's atelier. That has fueled speculation that the bride or groom, or both, will wear his designs. (Both have donned Scervino fashions in the past, and Kim memorably stepped out in a lace Scervino creation in Las Vegas in October while celebrating her 33rd birthday.)

On Thursday 23 January, my team at the Babylab at Birkbeck, University of London, together with similar teams from across Europe, is launching a new study of infants with older siblings with autism or ADHD. For infants with an older sibling with autism or ADHD, the chances of also having one of the conditions may climb to 20%.
In my previous article I was remiss in mentioning that my husband was screened and thankfully found to be clear of the Gaucher gene, therefore our daughter is a normal healthy young woman who will never suffer from Gaucher disease. Genetic counselling and testing is recommended for families who may be carriers of the Gaucher gene.
Movies have always cast predictions about the future of science and technology. Sometimes they conclude that the future's bright. Exciting. But most of the time? It's bleak. There's death. Destruction. Misguided Will Smith adaptations of classic novels. The conclusion we can draw from Hollywood about futuristic tech is that it's dark, dangerous and not to be trusted.

USA Today: Amid Chapter 7, John L. Smith Deferred 71 Percent of Pay
by ArkansasSports360.com Staff
Posted 10/8/2012 11:38 am
Updated 2 years ago
USA Today reported Monday that Razorbacks football coach John L. Smith has deferred 71 percent of his total pay, which could raise legal questions in his $40.7 million bankruptcy.
According to the story, available in full here, Smith arranged to have $600,000 of his $850,000 in pay deferred until after the season, with a $300,000 payment on Dec. 31 and another $300,000 on Feb. 23. The money would come from the nonprofit Razorback Foundation.
USA Today says that by deferring that pay until after his bankruptcy filing, Smith could keep it away from his creditors.
Smith said he would only "comment on football," when asked about the restructuring during his Monday press conference.
"I'd rather not comment on any of that," Smith said.
The newspaper also provides a timeline of when Smith signed his employment contract versus his bankruptcy filings and amendments.
Last week, Smith has amended his bankruptcy filing Wednesday to show $40.7 million in debt, up from the $25.7 million he showed in his original filing. Smith's Chapter 7 filing is tied to real estate investments that went bad after the 2008 economic crisis.
The amendment filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Western District, also shows that he has $1.3 million in assets. Smith's original filing on Sept. 19 reported $1.2 million in assets. You can access the filing here.
Also last week, USA Today quoted one of Smith's business partners, Louisville developer Steve Canfield, who accused Smith of leaving his partners "holding the bag on a lot of things."
At a news conference following football practice on Thursday, Smith responded to Canfield's comments.
"Well, when this is all over I could go through it with you over who held what bag," he said.
After last weekend's win over Auburn, Arkansas faces Kentucky at home on Saturday. On Friday, Smith is scheduled to be in court for a hearing tied to his bankruptcy.

Publication Details
Cooperative Assembly of a Protein-DNA Filament for Nonhomologous End Joining
2013; 288 (25): 18110-18120
Nonhomologous end joining repairs DNA double-strand breaks created by ionizing radiation and V(D)J recombination. Ku, XRCC4/Ligase IV (XL) and XLF have a remarkable mismatched end (MEnd) ligase activity, particularly for ends with mismatched 3' overhangs, but the mechanism has remained obscure. Here, we showed XL required Ku to bind DNA, while XLF required both Ku and XL to bind DNA. We detected cooperative assembly of one or two Ku molecules and up to 5 molecules each of XL and XLF into a Ku:XL:XLF-DNA (MEnd ligase-DNA) complex. XLF mutations that disrupted its interactions with XRCC4 or DNA also disrupted complex assembly and end joining. Together with published co-crystal structures of truncated XRCC4 and XLF proteins, our data with full-length Ku, XL and XLF bound to DNA indicate assembly of a filament containing Ku plus alternating XL and XLF molecules. By contrast, in the absence of XLF, we detected cooperative assembly of up to 6 molecules each of Ku and XL into a Ku:XL-DNA complex, consistent with a filament containing alternating Ku and XL molecules. Despite a lower molecular weight, MEnd ligase-DNA had a lower electrophoretic mobility than Ku:XL-DNA. The anomalous difference in mobility and difference in XL to Ku molar ratio suggest that MEnd ligase-DNA has a distinct structure that successfully aligns mismatched DNA ends for ligation.

''House'': A regular fright fest
Welcome back, House fans. Our favorite medical curmudgeon is back on the tube... if in a rather disorganized episode. Now don't get me wrong, my love for Hugh Laurie knows no bounds (case in point: I even braved this past weekend's Saturday Night Live just to watch him host), and maybe my expectations were heightened because of the World Series delay, but tonight's episode simply didn't gel for me. While the ducklings were on their game (literally, in Foreman's case) and the patients of the week received the now prerequisite twist diagnosis, I was a little annoyed with the amount of repetitious exposition (Wilson to House: You're miserable) and a lot annoyed with David Morse's Tritter. What a nasty piece of work. I get that he's supposed to be a cop version of House and therefore a worthy adversary, but he's sorely lacking in the one thing that makes House appealing: a sense of humor.
Tritter also emits a one-dimensional hostility that makes me fear for House's physical safety in that final scene, did anyone else think he was going to pull a Tonya Harding and whack the good doc in the knees with his cane? At least Vogler (whom I wasn't a fan of either) had a more thought-out foundation for provoking House than ''You're a bully.'' Come on, dude: You chose to go to a free, first-come, first-served walk-in clinic of course the wait is going to be long.
On the plus side, Cameron snarked out some good one-liners (''No, I'm hitting that and it's totally hot''), Chase was, well, predictably middle-of-the-road Chase (''[I won't help because] Foreman and Cameron are too ethical and I'm afraid of being sued''), and Foreman's hoodwinking of House about his relationship with Nurse Wendy was classic. Plus, it's nice to see at least one person having a healthy relationship in that hospital. Cuddy and Wilson also tugged at the heartstrings with their respective no-baby/no-real-place-to-live scenes in a nice show of continuity.
In all, the staff's verbal jabs (Cuddy's ''Sometimes an ass is just an ass'' being one of my faves) were as witty and scalpel-sharp as ever, although the same can't be said about the medical mysteries of the week. Even though quasi-incest hasn't really been done on the show before, there's a familiar feel to Tracy and her husband/half-brother's ''doomed lovers'' relationship, and Foreman's Cameron-esque speech to the couple about their love being out of their control felt a bit out of place. On the whole, this season's patients haven't been as compelling (or memorable) as the first two seasons. And please, more diagnostic whiteboard sessions!
What did you think? Will Tritter be a worthy opponent for House? Will Cuddy ever get pregnant? And couldn't House find a container for all those pills stashed in his jacket pocket when he was arrested?

About Birmingham Airport
Birmingham Airport (BHX) is the UK's 7th busiest airport in terms of numbers of passengers. It is located about 5¼ miles east, south-east of Birmingham city centre in the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull.
In 2010, Birmingham Airport handled more than 8.5 million passengers.
Birmingham Airport is a base for BMI; Bmibaby; Flybe; Monarch, Ryannair, Thomas Cook Airlines and Thomson Airways.
BHX offers domestic flights within the UK and international flights to destinations in Europe, the Indian Subcontinent, the Middle East, North America and the Caribbean.
The History of Birmingham Airport
The Airport was opened at Elmdon, Birmingham on 8th July 1939 and was owned and operated by Birmingham City Council. It was designed to meet the needs of Birmingham and the surrounding areas' residents and industries. Civil aviation ceased a few months later with the outbreak of the Second World War and the Air Ministry requisitioned the airport. During this time two hard surface runways were built to replace the original grass strip. The airport re-opened for civil flying in July 1946.
In 1949, scheduled services started with a British European Airways flight to Paris. Flights to the continent grew steadily during the next decade including services to Zurich, Dusseldorf, Palma, Amsterdam and Barcelona. A terminal extension, known as the International Building, was opened in 1961 and transatlantic services to New York commenced in the late sixties. By the early 1970s over one million passengers a year were passing through a now congested Passenger Terminal.
In April 1974, the newly formed West Midlands Metropolitan County Council took over the Airport. The new council undertook studies into the expansion of the airport. This study coincided with the rapid growth of passengers and the development of The NEC (National Exhibition Centre) and Birmingham International Rail Station adjacent to the airport. Following a public enquiry approval was granted by the Government in 1979, for a new passenger terminal building and associated facilities. Her Majesty the Queen opened the new facilities in 1984 and operations were transferred to the new passenger terminal.
Ownership of the airport passed to West Midlands District Joint Airport Committee in 1986 and the following year the airport's status changed to that of a Public Limited Company, wholly owned by the seven local district councils. With record growth in passenger figures, the need for further expansion became clear. In 1991 the £60 million Eurohub was opened by the Duchess of York. It offered passengers a quick and efficient transfer through the airport and gave easy access with British Airways regional services to over 20 European and North American destinations. In 1999 Birmingham International Airport celebrated its 60th anniversary and a record 7 million passengers passed through the Airport's two terminals.
Her Majesty the Queen opened the new Millennium Link block in 2000. Three years later Birmingham International Airport's £11 million Air-Rail Link people mover system and the £7 million public transport Interchange opened. A £30m refurbished Departure Lounge in Terminal 1 was completed in 2007 along with enlarged security facilities and a redeveloped Immigration Hall. The airport's growth continued steadily in 2007 with passenger figures topping 9.1 million.
In June 2008 work began on the construction of the new 'International Pier'. It was officially opened on 9th September 2009. The new Pier is a three storey construction; 240 metres long and 24 metres wide. Departing passengers are accommodated on the top level, with arriving passengers on the middle level and office accommodation for airline and handling agents on the ground floor. The new facility provides air-bridged aircraft parking for seven wide-bodied aircraft and enough space to serve 13 smaller aircraft at any given time.
In January 2010, Birmingham International Airport announced they were to spend £13 million on merging Terminals 1 & 2 together thus improving passenger flows and operational efficiency, as well as creating a larger centralised passenger security search area, an enlarged meeting and greeting arrivals point, and an improved shopping and catering choice in both landside and airside areas. This new development was completed in February 2011 and was officially opened on 13th May 2011. Following the merging of Terminals 1 & 2, the airport has dropped International from its official name to become Birmingham Airport.
Customer Reviews
APH Park & Ride Saver
Our flight was delayed and there was no additional charge, so thank you for that. We were puzzled to find our mileage trip had been returned to zero and we wondered why that had been done. Was the car used whilst we were away?

Adjective/abstract noun
These phrases have caught my attention recently.
All were uttered by sustainability professionals working within different large well-known mainstream businesses.
"…restless dissatisfaction…"
"…chronic unease…" (apparently the 'price of safety')
"…irrational optimism…"
Witty constructs: adjective/abstract noun.
Like a secret handshake, they signal the speaker knows that what's being done now is nothing like enough, that optimism is not justified (because trends have not yet reversed), but neither is panic or acute action. This is a long emergency.
At a workshop last week, the adjective/abstract noun combination favoured by was 'blessed unrest', after Paul Hawken.
The combinations catch my eye (ear?) when there's some contradiction between the words, an element of surprise. When they capture the unknowability of this strange time we find ourselves in.

Oh 3pm, you're so predictable. All other hours of my workday at least provide some variety to my thought processes, but not you, 3pm. You're all about the antsy, boredom, will-this-day-ever-end cravings. No matter how much I stuff myself with a hearty and nutritious lunch, you're going to make me twiddle my fingers until I find something delicious for them to grasp, aren't you?
The form of these cravings changes day-to-day. I used to want chips, and then I went through a phase where I would just spoon peanut butter out of the jar (note: dangerous), but lately I've been all about sweets. Specifically, I want a baked good. At 3pm. Every damn day. Sure, a decadent midday baked good is fine every-so-often, but everyday? Get your head out of the sugary, cotton candy clouds, Katie.
I do, however, heartily believe in the power of an afternoon pick-me-up. Sometimes you just neeeed that boost to get through the final couple hours of the workday. Which brings me to these cookies. I made them on Monday night when I realized I shouldn't deny myself the baked goodness, but perhaps I could make a healthier option than what's in the cupboards at work (i.e. Famous Amos).
These have everything I love in a cookie: thick, chewy, and full of texture, plus they're packed with maple syrup and almond butter, which are two of my favorite things. I've been eating them around 3pm at work this week and they definitely help me appease the late-afternoon ants in my pants.
I only recently began baking with spelt flour, and I think I'm in love. It's a whole grain flour, but it's high in protein, easy to digest, and packed with nutrients. The flavor is nutty and similar to whole wheat, but I find it slightly more mild, which can make a big difference in the taste of your baked goods.
To boost the benefits beyond spelt, I used a small amount of coconut oil for the fat, then added applesauce, almond butter, and maple syrup for extra moisture and flavor. The oats add fiber and texture, while the dried cherries bring some tartness to the mix.
These cookies are vegan, but if you'd rather use a regular egg than a chia/flax egg I'm sure that would be fine. The other ingredients can also be tweaked to your liking; swap out the almond butter for peanut butter (or any other nut butter), replace the cherries with other dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips (which I MUST try next). Obviously, if you try any different combinations, let me know!
- ¼ cup coconut oil, measured solid then melted
- ¼ cup natural applesauce
- ½ cup natural creamy almond butter
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons warm water plus 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flax
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups spelt flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛-1/4 teaspoon salt (depending on if your almond butter is salted)
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup dried fruit, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips (I used dried cherries)
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a medium-sized bowl, use a fork to combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and oats.
- Mix together the melted coconut oil and the applesauce. Beat in the almond butter and maple syrup, then pour in the chia/flax egg and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Mix until just combined, and then fold in the dried fruit.
- Use a heaping tablespoon to scoop the dough, then form into balls. Set onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat, then press down to flatten.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes.
Take that, 3pm.
