Frog in the Pond
Name: Alys Status: other Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2001
I have a ornamental pond that I installed this summer. It is the hard plastic formed kind. I have goldfish in it and this summer a frog adopted the pond. I have some thin flat rocks surrounding the pond, but they would not provide much cover. Where will the frog go this winter? Do I need to provide something for him? I do have a floating pond deicer so the water won't freeze through. The pond is only 2 feet deep.
The frog is not likely to survive in the pond over the winter, even if the water does not freeze through. It is possible for some frogs to survive limited freezing but if you are concerned, do not take the chance. Remove the frog and release it somewhere in a deeper, larger pond with a natural bottom, while it is still warm enough for it to have a chance to find a place to hibernate.

I can appreciate your current time constraints. As such, let's table this issue until the NFP stuff is fully transitioned and you've found a job. This isn't an urgent issue that needs to be resolved immediately, so it can wait until other, more pressing issues have sorted themselves out. --kurt

Under the guidance of Shahid H. Chughtai, a doctor of veterinary medicine with more than two decades of experience, the staff at American Veterinary Clinic tends to dogs and cats with an array of procedures and amenities. The staff performs exams and vaccinations and arranges for surgical procedures to be performed by board-certified surgeons. Aside from medical services, the clinic offers grooming, dog daycare, and boarding facilities for cats and dogs.
Zoom Room?s dog training facilities have one cardinal rule: owners must be present during class. This is because humans need just as much training as their canine companions when building confidence and communication, and it?s important that owners learn the best positive-reinforcement techniques from the knowledgeable staff. Group classes cover topics ranging from general obedience and agility training to more specific needs such as overcoming shyness. Other classes include Urban Herding, where dogs herd exercise balls into soccer goals indoors, Scent Work, where dogs learn to sniff out missing car keys or the TV remote, and Pup-lates, which is geared toward overweight or senior dogs, or those recovering from an injury.
In fact, improving canine social skills is one of Zoom Room?s missions, as evidenced by the regularly hosted fundraiser events and Doggy Disco parties, which give dogs a chance to meet other dogs and expand away from their inner circle of fire hydrants. This combination of training and fun, in addition to the facility?s selection of solution-oriented training gear, natural dog treats, and functional dog accessories, has garnered an array of local and national press.
Due to their curious nature, dogs often come home dirty, whether from chasing squirrels through muddy fields or disassembling your car's transmission. Community Bark Dog Wash & Coffee Bar's dual locations provide specially designed stations for washing dogs of all sizes, whether for self-service sudsing or full-service washing by friendly groomers. The cleaners furnish all the tools needed to groom pups to perfection, including shampoos, conditioners, brushes, combs, and high-velocity hair dryers.
Whether returning from a walk or waiting for their pooch to dry, pet lovers can hang out in the dog-friendly Barker Lounge, where they can sip Alterra coffee and munch on pastries. The café also supplies treats for canine customers and free WiFi service for laptops and bark-activated phones.
On Howell Avenue sits a school where students never want to leave. Pet University's head trainer Dennis Trzcinski has more than 20 years of experience in canine training, including teaching service and police dogs. Dogs move through carefully structured curricula, and upon completion, should be such well-behaved family members that they'll have earned a no-holds-barred graduation trip to Cancun. The trained staff also engages dogs in stimulating activities during daycare and boarding stays.
Now celebrating its 40th anniversary, Save-A-Pet runs a purely no-kill, nondiscriminatory adoption center for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and health statuses, with the ultimate goal of finding permanent homes for each rescued animal. When the center receives homeless pets, the staff feeds them and provides intake exams, vaccinations, and medications. A steady supply of volunteers plays with the pets and ensures that they get enough outdoor exercise to maintain their health and mental well-being, backing this goal up inside by changing the cat litter and power-washing the 82 onsite kennels every day. Save-A-Pet also reaches out to adult and youth community members with education on animal welfare to reduce the number of homeless and euthanized pets. Through the organization's efforts it has placed more than 40,000 dogs and cats into permanent homes.

You can do this one of 2 ways. First, you can use a third party utility such as Partition Magic or Symantec's Volume Manager to manage or merge partitions. Many people swear by these utilities, but I've had mixed results and usually stay away from them. You could also upgrade the XP volume to use dynamic disks via the DISKPART utility, which will allow you more freedom to merge and resize disks. Again, I've had mixed results with dynamic disks in Windows XP and avoid using them. The other option is to do a full backup to an external source (tape or external hard drive), delete the partitions and restore the data from the backup.

Previous studies have shown people who smoke are less likely to get Parkinson's. But it was unclear which ingredient, if any, in cigarettes caused the connection.
It was also unclear whether there was causation -- maybe people with Parkinson's were simply less likely to be smokers, due to how their brains develop.
To tackle these questions, researchers at the University of Washington gave lifestyle questionnaires to 490 people with the disease and 644 healthy people.
They found a high correlation between consuming nicotine-laden foods, especially peppers, and avoiding Parkinson's.
"Our study is the first to investigate dietary nicotine and risk of developing Parkinson's disease," Dr. Searles Nielsen said in a press release. "Similar to the many studies that indicate tobacco use might reduce risk of Parkinson's, our findings also suggest a protective effect from nicotine, or perhaps a similar but less toxic chemical in peppers and tobacco."

If you were Frank Kinnaird you would be kissing this fish too!
This 30lbs-12oz Chinook salmon was reeled in by our guest Frank who was visiting us from Langley, BC. Not only does it give him a very hearty welcome into the Captain's Club for weighing over 30 pounds, it also put him on the ladder for the Ucluelet Salmon Ladder Derby.
Any guest who catches a Tyee, a Chinook salmon weighing 30lbs or more, becomes a member of the Captain's Club. Tyee is a coastal First Nations word that means "Chief". If you land a coho over 15lbs or a Halibut over 50lbs you are welcomed into the Captain's Club as well.
Since Frank had his derby ticket he is now on the ladder for August and all of Augusts fish are invited to the big Fish Off on September 7th and 8th. We hope he comes back and fishes with us then! Up for grabs is a $250,000 Hidden Weight Grand Prize and I'm sure that's incentive enough for Frank to come and drop another line off of a princess boat!
Many guests of the Canadian Princess Resort are registering fish in the Ucluelet Salmon Ladder Derby recently. We wish them all the luck and hope the next big cash prize winner is an angler with the CP! If you would like to keep track of all the fish coming into the derby for the rest of the month you can view the ladder itself on the Ucluelet Salmon Ladder Derby homepage.
Gone Fishing,

I got this for free from my mom. She has a smashbox kit auto delivered, and doesn't use it. I am addicted to it. I use it under my eyes, then cover it with finishing powder. Bam. I did run out once, and was very distraught. Luckily another kit came. Maybe it's not for everyone... But I love it.
I got this off of ebay for a low price, and if I'd paid more for it I'd be much angrier. The quality of this product isn't the greatest, but it's nearly the worst in my experience. It's greasy (I find at least) and although the container is large so that I've a lot of it, I doubt I'll ever use it all. it's nearly a toss-away product as it's so poorly pigmented that I'd have to layer the stuff on...it doesn't mix well with my foundation (bobbi brown Natural finish long lasting foundation spf15) or moisturizer (mac moisture creme)...I was really disappointed, because like most people who posted reviews I had expected more from Smashbox - Usually i've a great experience with their products...

I agree with the reviews that this is unsatisfactory as a highlighter. The problem is that it doesn't contain very much pigment, just sheen. So why the five star rating? Because this is a solid gel with a high silicone content that is absolutely wonderful as a base for lipstick, eye makeup and concealer. You can even use it to set your brows. It's particularly good for older women who need a silicone product to fill in furrows and wrinkles before applying color to the eye and undereye area. .Also, it feels fabulous going on and my very sensitive eyes and skin do not react to it.
I like the idea of combining a blob of it with a light shadow to create an under brow highlight or pale shadow--it plays well with other products.
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
On the face this just dosent work. With a highlighter I like to see some type of sheen and all this leaves behind is a gold shimmer that just dosent work. However, using this on larger areas like my legs it is really pretty.

I bought this off of EBAY and mine came with the brush. The brush is okay, the product itself is not. I usually like Smashbox for their "glow", but this one missed the mark for me. It is very glittery. I prefer a glow. Sorry, not a useful product for me.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I received this in a swap a few days ago and was sad to see that there were no reviews of it. I haven't had much chance to play with it but I'd like to make some general comments for other people who might be considering swapping or purchasing this.
First of all, it comes in a typical Smashbox twist container. It is fairly large in diameter, approximately the size of a MAC blush. It is white and shimmery in appearance.
The biggest problem I see in terms of using this as an everyday product is that when on, it looks like there is a lot of small glitter. This is the light reflecting element of it I guess, but if you hate glittery looks then this is not for you. Despite this though, I noticed that it did make my dark circles look somewhat less visible. Also, it would work well as a highlight color for eyeshadow. It also feels somewhat greasy.
It is also somewhat difficult to figure out how to apply if you get it without the brush that it comes with as I did. So far I've tried using a concealer brush, my finger and a qtip to apply it. They all seem to work okay I guess.
Doesn't seem like a terrible product, but seems to have limited uses for day use...although for night could possibly get some interesting results.

The Iconic 110 Cameras mini-series is your guide to finding the perfect compact camera to use the new Orca B&W Film with! Since we're on the topic of iconic imagery, we're sharing this gallery of the 10 most iconic celebrity coiffures. From the Beatles' mop tops to Brigitte Bardot's bedroom hair, we're sure you've aspired for 'dos like this!
I'm sure we've all gone into salons or barbershops with photos in hand, instructing hair stylists to make us "look like this" at least once. TIME takes a look at the most wanted hairdos made popular by equally admired celebrities. Check out Farrah Fawcett's feathery layers, Elvis Presley's suave pompadour, Zelda Fitzgerald's flapper bob, Jennifer Aniston's "Rachel" layers, and Pam Grier's retro afro!
"Millions of women were launched into a follicular frenzy by her hair: a long, layered shag crafted by her 'Friends' hairdresser Chris McMillan. Though it was copied endlessly throughout the '90s, Aniston recently copped to hating the 'do, stating, "I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen."
Of course, you can't miss The Beatles' unmistakable mop tops, Brigitte Bardot's sexy tousled tresses, Veronica Lake's glamorous waves, Mia Farrow's pixie cut, and Bob Marley's symbolic dreads.
"Though dreadlocks are usually associated with the Rastafarian movement, the twisted coils of hair have been worn by ethnic groups around the world. But no one is as synonymous with dreads as reggae icon Bob Marley. Born in Jamaica, Marley created soulful songs that spread reggae all over the globe. What was a lifestyle choice and an act of rebellion for Marley became a fashion statement for others, as the look was adopted by reggae and counterculture fans alike."

A national pro-homosexual group has targeted six megachurches for protest and demonstration. But what they'll find at one of the targeted churches this weekend is a dinner and a discussion about Christian views on homosexuality.
Bishop Harry Jackson, pastor of Hope Christian Church in Beltsville, Md., invited the group "Soulforce" to debate homosexual rights and gay marriage with church elders this Saturday, prior to their Sunday demonstration.
He also agreed to host a dinner for the group at his church this weekend.
"In light of the recent California Supreme Court decision, we welcome the discussion with the members of Soulforce and are confident in our positions on traditional marriage based on biblical morality," said Bishop Jackson.
"We have invited the members of Soulforce who plan to protest this Sunday's service to come inside the church, worship, and hear the truth of the Gospel," he said.
Members of Soulforce claim their demonstrations are designed to elevate the conversation about faith, family, and homosexuality to a national level -- and also bring a new tenor of respect to the issue.
Other targeted megachurches include Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church and T.D. Jake's The Potter's House.
Tune in to Newswatch next week when Bishop Jackson joins the broadcast for more on the story.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Meningitis death toll from tainted steroids continues to climb
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
October 22nd, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) It all began after a man in his fifties with a history of back and joint pain arrived at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. Complaining of head and neck pain, he died after a 22-day stay at the hospital. He was just the first of 23 people to date who have died from self-administered steroids from a Massachusetts mail-order firm. At last count, there are at least 284 people sickened from the outbreak of fungal meningitis. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to the New England Journal of Medicine published two articles on the outbreak; the first known case appears to be the only death attributed to fungus Aspergillus fumigates. All other cases apparently involved the fungus Exserohilum rostratum.Federal health officials say they'd confirmed the presence of the fungus, Exserohilum rostratum, in unopened vials of a steroid produced by the New England Compounding Center, or NECC. The vial came from one of three lots that have since been recalled. The steroid in question, methylprednisolone acetate, is injected into patients for back and joint pain. NECC has since been shut down operations and distribution of all of its products has been halted. Officials estimate that roughly 14,000 patients may have gotten steroid injections from the three lots. Nearly 97 percent of them have been contacted for medical follow-up. Meningitis is a potentially fatal inflammation of the lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord and is sometimes fatal. Many of the patients in this particular outbreak are older patients with preexisting medical conditions, making treatment decisions difficult. The best treatment seems to be at least three months of antifungal therapy. All of the fungal meningitis patients identified are believed to have been injected with methylprednisolone acetate from the Massachusetts pharmacy, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Three of the cases have been what the CDC calls "peripheral joint infection," meaning an infection in a knee, hip, shoulder or elbow. Joint infections are not considered as dangerous as injections near the spine for back pain that have been linked to the potentially fatal meningitis infections. The 14,000 people currently at risk may include those who received shots for pain in their knees and shoulders. The FDA said it was advising all health care professionals to follow up with any patients who were given any injectable drug from or produced by the New England Compounding Center. These drugs include medications used in eye surgery, and a heart solution purchased from or produced by the company after May 21. A following state-by-state breakdown of cases has been provided by the CDC. Florida: 17 cases, including 3 deaths; Idaho, 1 case; Illinois, 1 case; Indiana: 37 cases, including 2 deaths; Maryland: 16 cases, including 1 death; Michigan: 53 cases, including 5 deaths; Minnesota: 7 cases; New Hampshire: 10 cases; New Jersey: 16 cases; New York: 1 case; North Carolina: 2 cases, including 1 death; Ohio: 11 cases; Pennsylvania: 1 case; Tennessee: 69 cases, including 9 deaths; Texas: 1 case; Virginia: 41 cases, including 2 deaths. .

Community Sanitation Overview: |
Water is pumped from the Kobuk River to the water treatment/utility building, and stored in a tank. From there, a pressurized circulating system distributes water in utilidors. Groundwater wells have proven unsuccessful. Noorvik has a vacuum wastewater system in which waste is carried by air instead of water. Vacuum pressure pumps the wastewater to the 60,000-gallon collection and treatment plant. The system requires special toilets and water valves which collect wastewater from the sinks, toilets and showers. Over 100 homes, the schools and businesses are served. Funds have been requested to connect and plumb the remaining 16 unserved homes on the south side of town and along River Road. For the next quarter, punch list items from the warranty inspection of the WTP upgrade project will be completed. Request final approval to operate from ACED. |

On August 28, Kotzebue LGS staff traveled to Noorvik to provide training and assistance to the city administrator and bingo manager. After arriving LGS staff spoke to city staff and decided the first thing that needed to be done was revising the unaccepted bingo annual reports for the last three years. The citys gaming license is revoked until new reports are submitted and accepted. For the next two days LGS staff worked with Noorvik staff in revising the 2010 and 2011 annual reports. The bingo manager was trained on the reporting during the revision process and is working on completing the revision for the 2012 report. The city depends on bingo revenue, which was suspended in June 2013, to pay for the utilities of all their public buildings. The revenue for this next fiscal year is needed in order to make ends meet for the city. Kotzebue LGS staff also reviewed with the city clerk the elections ordinance. Training was provided to the clerk on the process for her first election. The clerk typed out an election notice and posted it in three public places. Three election judges had already been approved. LGS staff recommended the clerk call someone else to be on call in case any of the three judges do not show up. It should also be put on the next agenda for approval. LGS and city staff reviewed the forms attached to the ordinance including a notice to post for citizens to know when they can vote absentee. Kotzebue staff also coordinated with CDBG staff on the administrators request to apply for grant funds. At the request of Kotzebue staff, the administrator provided a list of projects he was considering to apply for. After CDBG staff review of those four projects reminded him to review the handbook as those projects are ineligible for CDBG funding. CDBG staff reminded him of the upcoming training to attend to learn more on applying for CDBG funding. Kotzebue staff helped the administrator coordinate with the Maniilaq Tribal Administrator requesting to use the Noorvik IRA BIA road funds to help repair Noorvik streets. Kotzebue staff had been working with the new clerk of Noorvik over the pass two weeks preparing for her first election. Once the clerk had typed all the election forms that they are to use, Kotzebue staff reviewed them and assisted with some wording change. Kotzebue staff also reviewed with her the budget set for the election and reminded her that no tax is to be deducted as the law mandates they get paid straight time. Tribal Utility Support specialist made two separate trips to the community to assist with the completion of the warranty inspection punch list items. He also assisted the local operators in changing out old and worn copper piping within the circulation manifolds in the WTP. During this last quarter, the bookeeper received assistance utilizing the QuickBooks hotline in order to balance to reconciliations, and how to create a 941 tax form. |

I am a little confused by my Nepeta "Walkers Low"...I love this plant, I have seven of them in different gardens. Three of them are returning with gusto, four of them bearly show signs of life. Has anyone had trouble with this plant, it was on my list of steadfast garden warriors. Of those lagging behind, they are all in full sun, three are new as of last spring, one has been around for at least three years. Any ideas?
Thanks, Helen. |

I don't have Walkers Low, but I have Six Hills Giant and it seems to be behaving in a similar fashion. One plant is nicely mounded and has been for a couple of weeks, another planted at the same time, about six feet apart, looked dead until just last week. It is finally starting to show some little leaves. This one also has a few baby plants starting in the near vicinity. I think these must be from where a branch touched the ground, because I understood that 6 Hills was supposed to be seed sterile. ??? Every year you see new things, I guess. |
- Posted by heleninramsey 4 (My Page) on Mon, May 18, 09 at 20:57
Well thanks for that...Misery loves company, and so does confusion. Helen. |
I don't know if I have Walker's Low or not, mine is about 12-18" tall and in full bloom. I have another, 'Little Titch" which is 6-8" tall. Both have spread just a little and both are in part sun around trees. They are two-three years old. |

EAA Members: please sign in to your EAA.org account to see Member Pricing
The Electrical Systems, Wiring, and Avionics course is a 2-day course. Our instructor is an expert with considerable experience in aircraft electrical systems and avionics and, most importantly, a teacher who can communicate complex ideas.
The curriculum is centered on the installation process. The following subjects are presented: Antenna mounting, coax cable installation, wiring of radio systems, soldering and crimping components, alternator and electrical system requirements, installation of electrical systems, etc… You will learn proper soldering techniques and have the opportunity to practice. You will complete several hands on practice projects designed to reinforce the items discussed in the classroom portion of the course.
Problem areas encountered in electrical system installation in aircraft will be discussed and solutions presented.
The size of the class is limited to 14 students to ensure individualized instruction. You will not only receive instruction, but you will have opportunity to gain a considerable amount of 'hands-on' experience. Electrical systems have long been a problem area for the aircraft builder and restorer. Let our instructor take the mystery out of electrical systems through this course.
Course length: 2 days
The Fabric Covering workshop is just one of a family of workshops presented EAA. It is an intensive 2 day course on general fabric covering techniques using the Poly Fiber covering process. Other covering processes are covered in general form. The course begins promptly at 8:00 with a discussion of safety issues and general fabric covering. The course is designed to present the methods of covering in discussion form followed immediately by practical hands on experience for each step. The students actually cover a DC 3 aileron from the preparation stage all the way through the completion of spraying on colors.
Thinking about building an aircraft? Not sure how to take the first step? EAA's new offering, "Fundamentals of Aircraft Building" is a weekend course designed just for you. Through the 2 day workshop experience you will work hands-on with the four most popular methods of homebuilt aircraft construction: Wood, Composite, Fabric and Sheet Metal. You'll build an individual project and learn the ins and outs of the various techniques. You'll leave the course at the end of the weekend with a great feeling of accomplishment and the confidence to take the next step, joining over 30,000 other individuals in building your own airplane.
The course starts with a detailed discussion of the types of aircraft, how to set up your shop and a review of the rules and regulations involved in building your own aircraft
The fun begins when you'll start the construction of an actual wooden wing rib, cutting and fitting the pieces exactly like you would with a real aircraft, in specially made jigs to ensure precise shape and size.
Next you will practice fabric covering when you begin the construction of a fabric covered simulated wing surface. An age old method of aircraft construction that dates back to the Wright Brothers in the early 1900's,
Once the surface is covered with fabric, it's coated with special materials. You will actually use the same materials used in the construction or restoration of a fabric covered airplane to finish off the fabric part.
Composite materials are a great choice for building homebuilt aircraft. During the Fundamentals of Aircraft Building course you will build a sample composite part and learn the basic techniques of working with resins, laying up reinforcements and bonding parts together.
Sheet Metal Aircraft have fast become the most popular types of homebuilt aircraft today. The speed and ease in which these aircraft can be built is amazing. During this course you will learn the basic techniques of riveting parts – essential in constructing an aircraft like a Vans RV, Sonex, Zenith, Rans and similar types of aluminum aircraft, experiencing first-hand, the tools and techniques used.
All tools, materials and supplies are included. A comprehensive workbook is also included with the program.
Class size is limited to insure individualized instruction. At the end of this program you will be very familiar with all methods of airplane construction and you will also know what is required to build or restore your airplane.
EAA is offering weekend assembly workshops for those interested in acquiring the skills necessary to assemble the popular RV kit aircraft. Based on a similar format used in all workshops, the RV course will include such topics as; the FAR's pertaining to amateur-built aircraft, tools required, workshop requirements, insurance, engine and propeller selection, flight testing, etc. The main portion of the workshop will be "hands-on" experiencing the techniques necessary to assemble the airplane. Saturday morning we will begin with a discussion on basic sheet metal construction. After a classroom presentation, you will then spend time practicing the skills required to work with sheet metal. A practice project will be completed to allow you time to develop your skills.
Saturday afternoon you will start the main sheet metal project-a small airfoil section patterned after the RV wing. Assembly of this airfoil will include the majority of skills necessary to build the aircraft. Most of Sunday morning will be spent actually completing the airfoil project started on Saturday. You will become very proficient in all of the basic sheet metal skills. Sunday afternoon we will review some of the problems associated with building the RV. In addition, weight and balance, rigging, painting, etc. will be discussed. After completion of this workshop you will certainly have the confidence level needed to begin or complete your RV aircraft. We gratefully acknowledge the support of this course by Van's Aircraft, which supplies the special sheet metal practice projects for each participant. For information on purchasing a RV aircraft kit, visit vansaircraft.com.

In Search Of... A Few Good Developers
Occasionally I get a chance to poke my head up and see what is new and different and occasionally I get asked if I know anyone that could help. This is one of those cases.
I got a nice email from Mike Lebo, N6IEF, this afternoon, asking if I knew of any Open Source developers, interested in tackling a project that he has in mind, and he sent me along the guts of it.
If you want to jump right into what he has in mind, he has posted it to GoogleDocs. For the rest, let me paraphrase. Mike is out to modify and write software needed to convert the analog voice of a ham radio operator into narrow band digital modulation and convert the received digital modulation into a selectable synthetic voice.
Now, I am sure you are asking: Why do this?
The bandwidth of voice is about 2,400 Hz. When speech is reduced to 125 Hz, the gain is 12.8 dB (19.2 times). Processing gain by a computer is cost free. This project receives weak signals 9 dB below the SSB (Single Side Band) noise floor of a radio.
OK, this is pretty geeky stuff! (If you thought Amateur Radio was just a bunch of old white guys warming their hands over tubes, think again!) Mike added, in his email: I want to do phone moon bounce and it is very hard with ssb. Now that is really geeky. (Yes, there is a whole subculture of operators that live to bounce signals off the moon to each other.)
So, if you are looking for a summer project and hacking the kernel just seems so ... yesterday, here is a perfect project for you to flex your muscles on.
Now, if you will excuse me, I have to crawl back into KVM.

This isn't exactly a codec
A while ago, I imagined transmitting a voice signal by converting the voice into phonemes, and then reconstituting that voice at the far end by running the phoneme stream through a voice synthesizer. The idea being that, since the phoneme stream would be generated from an actual voice, it would be far easier to understand than the typical output of a text-to-speech system and, since it would not be intended to be read by a human, it wouldn't be near as hard to convert to the voice into the phoneme stream as it is to convert voice into plain text.
This seems to be a similar idea. I suppose it's a good idea, but I no longer think that generating the phoneme stream is particularly easy. You'd need to find someone who understands a little bit about the physics of speech, though, because J. Random Coder isn't going to know enough about the problem domain to make much headway.
You might be able to get the data rate down enough to do voice moonbounce with large amateur stations. I don't know. I do know that I'm not going to give up on my 10 GHz free-electron maser idea.
Digital speech within 125 Hz bandwidth
Since I do not know to write software, I do not have any of the previous tried solutions which did not work. Voice is composed of at least 4 parts. Speech is the only one that communicates ideas. We make automatic gain controls to keep the amplitude at maximum level, so that should not be sent and use bandwidth. Pitch makes one person sound different from another, but should not use bandwidth when we do not know what the other person should sound like. Timing is critical. You cannot send a message faster then it takes a person to say it. Sending a message slower then a person says it waste bandwidth. My idea handles all 4 of these parts of voice. Please contact me or better yet help write software to hake this happen.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Circadian Rhythms
Our increasing understanding of circadian rhythms is changing how we think about the spaces we inhabit. Lighting, for example, can now be adjusted to alter mood and sleep patterns. A new building called The Photon Space, however, will take a more natural approach to help residents get in the (circadian) rhythm, being made almost entirely of glass. Read More
The human body clock is the curse of any shift worker or traveler arriving in a new time zone. Although one's body clock can be adjusted by external cues, such as light – a factor that devices such as the Re-Timer and Litebook are designed take advantage of – the adjustment period can vary significantly for different people. Now researchers have discovered the mechanism that controls how easily such adjustments can be made. Read More
Re-Timer resets body clock to counter jet lag
It's taken a few years, but the LED light glasses developed at Australia's Flinders University that first attracted our attention back in 2003 are finally seeing a commercial launch. Now called Re-Timer, the wearable device emits a soft green light onto the eyes to reset the body's internal clock to counter jet lag, improve the alertness of shift workers and make waking up in the morning easier. Read More
Scientists have long suspected that metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, could be linked to our circadian rhythm or biological clock. For example, laboratory mice with altered biological clocks often become obese and develop diabetes. Now biologists at UC San Diego have discovered that a chemical, which affects the activity of a key protein that regulates our biological clock, can repress the production of glucose by the liver, offering a promising new direction for the development of a new class of drugs to treat diabetes. Read More
Circadian rhythms are a roughly 24-hour cycle governing biochemical, physiological, or behavioral processes that have been widely observed not only in humans, but other animals, fungi, cyanobacteria and plants. In plants, circadian rhythms help synchronize biological processes with day and night to control photosynthesis, tell the plant what season it is, and the best time to flower to attract insects. Yale University researchers have now identified a key genetic gear that keeps the circadian clock in plants ticking, offering the prospect of engineering plants that can grow all year round and in locations where that's is not currently possible. Read More
A group of Cambridge scientists have successfully identified the mechanism that drives our internal 24-hour clock, or circadian rhythm. It occurs not only in human cells, but has also been found in other life forms such as algae, and has been dated back millions of years. Whilst the research promises a better understanding of the problems associated with shift-work and jet-lag, this mechanism has also been proven to be responsible for sleep patterns, seasonal shifts and even the migration of butterflies. Read More
Jet lag shown to cause long term memory and learning problems
In bad news for regular jet-setters and shift workers, research by psychologists at the University of California, Berkeley, has shown that acute disruption of circadian rhythms can cause memory and learning problems long after people have returned to a regular schedule. While similar effects have been shown in jet-lagged subjects, the UC Berkeley study is the first to look at long-term effects and changes in brain anatomy after the subjects have recovered from jet lag. Read More
Designers Eoin McNally and Ian Walton have come up with the concept of a 'Glo Pillow' that uses an LED fabric substrate below the surface of the pillow to wake the user with light. Forty five minutes before the alarm is due to activate, the pillow begins to glow. The light intensity increases gradually from 0 lux to 250 lux, simulating a natural sunrise and helping to calibrate the body clock by waking the body naturally. The LED fabric substrate also functions as a display, showing the time on the pillows surface using a grid of LEDs inside the pillow. Read More
June 28, 2007 Waking at just the right moment can have a drastic effect on how well-rested a person feels, the trick is knowing exactly when that is. This is the principle behind the aXbo 'sleep phase alarm clock'- a device that monitors phases of sleep and wakes the user at the optimum moment to maximize their feelings of well-being and vitality. Read More
June 19, 2007 Ever wondered exactly why eating at night makes you put on weight, why some people are "night owls" or what controls your metabolic energy levels through the day? Instead of only 15% of our genes being regulated by circadian rhythms, as previously thought, researchers have discovered that ALL mammalian genes are affected by nature's daily clock - our entire bodies are regulated by genes whose expression oscillates on a daily cycle. What's more, if we're not exposed to a proper daily cycle of light and darkness, our genes don't have a reference point to synchronise to - and they can gradually get more and more out of sync with one another, causing organs to function ineffectively.

With a new editor-in-chief and publisher at the helm, many changes are afoot at Bon Appetit, including a campaign refresh (an example of which is above) aimed at recruiting 'the forgotten foodie.' Conde Nast switched my subscription over to BA for a few months after giving Gourmet the axe in 2009. I didn't renew - just couldn't get past the congealed-looking food on the cover - but there's a chance I'll check out a future issue to see what the new BA has to offer.

This week Mark Bittman hung up his apron at The Minimalist, his weekly column in The New York Times' Dining section. And, he's sharing 25 of his all-time favorite recipes from the column (now on my grocery list: garbanzo flour to make socca). Not to worry, Bittman will still be writing for the Times in various capacities.

I've fallen down the rabbit hole of coffee snobbery. Now that I've converted from a French press to a Chemex for my morning brew (and have a burr grinder on order, too. Oh, my), I'm eyeing the elegant, beehive-shaped Hario Buono drip kettle and imagining myself achieving perfectly even grounds saturation without increasing my risk of carpal-tunnel syndrome. And speaking of coffee snobbery, you might enjoy this very funny article by Frank Bruni (eek, nearly blinded by a Chemex - all in the name of research!) (Photo from Remodelista)

According to unofficial results, 36,196 votes were cast early, absentee and on Tuesday collectively yielding a 57.6 percent turnout. Data showed 11,816 voted Tuesday.
Phones rang endlessly through the day at the Bradley County Elections Office. A problem with voters who had changed addresses was the most prominent issue of the day.
"The phones have rung nonstop," said Bradley County Elections Commissioner Steve Crump.
Crump said he fielded calls all day in the office.
"The voters who had changed their address got to vote," Crump said.
"Their registrations were verified and new addresses researched to see where they were supposed to vote. The voters filled out a 'fail-safe' affidavit which allowed them to vote," Crump explained.
Long lines were reported at all 17 voting places. Commissioner Dana Burgner said voters were lined up appropriately 30 minutes before polling closed at the Senior Center on Urbane Road, to get their votes cast for president, state representative positions, senatorial and federal seats.
"There were no other major issues other than address changes," Crump said.
"Had we known turnout would have been so great, we would have added a few more workers at the heavier precincts," he said.
"It was historical and a great election turnout in terms of our numbers," Crump added.
Officials also said they will evaluate the overall election day process.
Crump said during early voting, laptops are used at the three early voting sites to check addresses.
"We would like to place a laptop at each of the 17 voting day precincts. That would allow the officials at the site to access names and verify addresses which would alleviate the many calls which we took Tuesday," Crump said.
Mimi Angel, deputy administrator at the Bradley County Elections Office said today that all indications were that even though long lines were evident, registered voters got to place their votes before polls closed at 8 p.m.
New districting in Bradley County was evident this year as Scott DesJarlais (R) vied for U.S. House District 4, coming out on top with the high vote in the district, which includes Bradley and Meigs, among others.
