One of my favorites...,
By Cynthia K. Robertson (beverly, new jersey USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Lords of Discipline (Paperback)
I was reluctant to read The Lords of Discipline as I'm not much interested in books with military themes. But I finally decided to read it as I love Pat Conroy and it takes place in my favorite of all cities, Charleston, SC. Wow! Not only was I blown away, but I also have a new book for my top ten list.
Aspiring novelist and basketball player, Will McLean, finds himself a college student at the Carolina Military Institute (The Citadel--thinly disguised). Will was not interested in the military, but he promises his dying father that he will attend his alma mater. Will doesn't exactly excel in military studies, but he's a decent student, an athlete, and his professors and peers recognize him for his integrity and his sense of fairness. Still, this is not an easy time to be a student in a military academy--especially in the South. The Viet Nam War was raging, the military was unpopular and desegregation was knocking on the doors of Southern schools. The Fourth Class system is brutal at best, and most cadets will look on their freshman year and Hell Night as living nightmares. There are also rumors of a powerful and clandestine group of Institute students and alumni called The Ten. While nothing has come forward to prove their existence, the possibility of such a group casts a cloud over the Corps of Cadets. Will and his roommates have survived the trials and tribulations of their underclassmen years. But circumstances change very rapidly. The first black student enrolls at the Institute and Will is asked to be a secret mentor to Cadet Tom Pearce. It quickly becomes apparent that a group of cadets is trying to run Pearce out of the Institute. Will steps in to intervene, and he discovers a truth so horrendous that this knowledge can bring down the Institute. It also makes Will and his roommates targets. Not only is their graduation now in jeopardy, but their lives are also in danger. Conroy is a master wordsmith, and I find myself reading his sentences over and over again. It's comparable to taking a bite of a decadent dessert, and rolling it around on your tongue to savor every forkful. His descriptions are priceless, his characters well fleshed out, and the plot will have you marathon reading to finish this 498-page book. I especially loved his observations about Charleston and the low country. Conroy also deals with timeless and universal issues. They include the struggles of a young boy growing into manhood and how difficult it is to stand up for your beliefs. Also, how those that love you can cause the worst hurt, and how those you think are loyal friends can betray you in a heartbeat. Conroy dwells on how it is possible to love and hate something at the same time (in this case, the Institute), and how the righteous don't always prevail. And while things might turn out in the end, they might not turn out the way you envision them. The one bad thing about Pat Conroy is that he is not one of those "serial" bestsellers who produce a book every year-whether they have anything to say or not. While we often have to wait years between books, Conroy's works are definitely worth the wait. Also, after reading The Lords of Discipline, I suggest picking up his nonfiction work, My Losing Season. Detailing his senior year playing basketball for The Citadel, Conroy will reveal how much of The Lords of Discipline is autographical.

A Citadel Grad Reviewing "The Lords of Discipline",
By Walt Steinbeck "Cabildero" (El Capital) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lords of Discipline: A Novel (Paperback)
Just a few days after I was admitted to attend The Citadel, over a decade ago, my mother picked up this book and read it cover to cover in no time at all. A couple days later she handed it to me, wishing that I would read it... and decide to attend college elsewhere. I read the book cover to cover, enthralled and fascinated the whole way through, and when I finished the last page my resolve to attend the school that had inspired this book had only grown stronger.
The Fourth Class System Pat Conroy describes in this book is entirely accurate, as he went through it himself and thus knew it first-hand. Much has changed since Conroy was there, but I can personally attest to the fact that the brotherhood he depicts in this story between the protagonist, Will, and his roommates is a perfect an example of the type of relationships that still evolve between cadets who share that same experience to this very day. Conroy describes the difficulties the South Carolina Military Institute had in acclimating to racial integration in this novel. I can tell you that I attended The Citadel shortly after gender integration had been mandated by the federal district courts, and many of the same emotions that Conroy describes in this story were running through the Corps of Cadets during my tenure at the military college of South Carolina. The struggles of the school during my time there were not so much rooted in some terrible dislike of females, or even a gender bias as to the abilities of male versus female, but more a resistance to change of any sort... just like what Conroy depicts in The Lords of Discipline as the first black student attended college there amidst a tremendous backlash from within the Corps of Cadets (not to mention from many Alumni as well). Of course there are always going to be some racists and chauvinists at any college or university in the United States, this isn't something exclusive to a Southern military school, but Conroy really does a good job of demonstrating how so much of the resistance against these historic changes came not from hatred but rather from a desperate attempt to hold onto a tradition and a way of life ingrained in the South Carolinian culture of antiquity and state pride. Conroy also beautifully depicts the emotional travails of the cadets at SCMI, as they struggle with popular backlash against the Viet Nam War... all while contemplating what their lives have in store for both those who take their commissioning into the United States armed forces, as well as for those who opt to remain civilians upon graduating. Conroy so genuinely conveys the true sentiment of the young men who really faced this tough decision through his characters in this novel. I only know how accurate his depiction is since I was a Cadet at the Citadel on 9/11/2001, and I graduated at a time when the War in Iraq was only just a year underway. Pat Conroy exposes the psyche of a living institution along South Carolina's Ashley River in The Lords of Discipline. This is an excellent novel with more non-fiction to it than meets the eye. Who will represent the school's standard of the complete man (or "complete person" these days) - the citizen/soldier who wears the ring with deserving pride; who will fall short of expectations and bring shame upon the school; and who "should" never have the opportunity to enter the school's gates in the first place? Pat Conroy captures the true essence of this Southern military school in The Lords of Discipline - not simply for the way it was 40 years ago, but for the way it has always been, intrinsically and inescapably - forever and always.

This book is incredible - stayed up all night reading it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lords of Discipline (Paperback)
This is one of my alltime favorite books and I think Will is one of the most amazing, soulful and best developed characters I have ever come across in any novel. I read this book in college a few years ago after a close male friend of mine showed me a particular excerpt from it which described a professor of Will's at The Citadel. He was the passionate professor whom Conroy began describing by writing "he was the most brilliant scholar I had ever known. . . " Anyway, at that time a mentor of mine, my favorite professor (an English Prof) and good friend, had just been diagnosed with cancer and was told he had only a few weeks to live. I was devastated and wanted to express to him how much he meant to me and I wanted him to know what an amazing and inspiring professor he had been but I couldn't seem to find words that would do justice to how incredible he was.
Well, my friend Richard showed me a passage from Lords of Discipline which simply blew me away - it was exactly what I felt about Dr. Stirling and Conroy just put it so beautifully. I was immediately struck by his eloquence and his mastery of imagery and I borrowed the book and read it from cover to cover without stopping. After he died, Dr. Stirling's wife later told me that the letter I sent him with the Conroy quotation had touched him deeply and to this day The Lords of Discipline will always hold a special place in my heart. I met Pat Conroy at a book signing in Atlanta and was able to thank him personally for his words of inspiration. He was a lovely man and I would recommend any of his books (The Water is Wide is my second favorite). If I had only read the summary of what The Lords of Discipline is about I would not have bothered to read it - I am a female and I have never been one to enjoy military type novels but this was a big surprise. This book is about friendship, loyalty, betrayal, love, and coming of age in a confusing society. It was not what I expected at all and now I never pass by a book simply because it doesn't "look" like one I would enjoy. Reading The Lords of Discipline changed my view on that. Obviously, I simply can not say enough about this book - please read it - you won't be disappointed!

A military Masterpiece,
By just another face (chicago, america) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lords of Discipline (Paperback)
Pat conroy is frighteningly truthful in this must read novel about a boys experience in a tough-life military school and his transition from boyhood to being a man. Will Mclean is the narator and hero of this novel. He expresses all the horrid details, all the touching revelations, all the tear-wrenching loyalties involved in this literary work of art. The book is filled with mystery and feeling as Will Mclean, a cadet at Carolina Military Institute, overcomes challenge after challenge and watches his fellow classmen fall out of the ranks of the school. His survival is based on his instincts, his dedication, his friendship. But all of these come under jeapardy as he is torn between friends, the institute, his dreams of love, and his commitment towards the destruction of a malevolent secret force known as The Ten. One of Pat Conroy's best works. You simply cannot put this down after you open it.

This review is from: The Lords of Discipline: A Novel (Paperback)
I am a sophomore in high school, and this was the required honors book to read over the summer. So, I went to the book store, picked it up and it sat on my nightstand for two months. When I finally decided I couldn't procrastinate any longer, I begrudgingly picked it up and started reading it. It took me about three days to get through the entire book. It is, bar none, the best book I have ever read in my life. I really felt like I was able to relate to the characters and what they were going through. I laughed, I cried, and I loved. I loved this book, despite my original first judgments. Do not let the length, the cover, or the things written on the back of the book discourage you from picking it up. If you have not read this book, no matter what age you are, you need to go to the bookstore right now and buy it, and immediately start reading it. It is the best written book, and even if you don't usually like things about the military, you will love this book. Perfect for all ages.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Lords of Discipline (Kindle Edition)
There were parts of this book that I loved! There were times that I was reading it and I couldn't put it down! Then, I would come upon a part where the author would take me away from the characters that I was caring about and invested in and expound upon South Carolina and Charleston in such minute detail that it would completely pull me out of the "place" I was in. I would then put the book down and not pick it up for days. I am satisfied with the three stars as I really did enjoy this book and even picked up another Pat Conroy book right after, I was just disappointed from where he went from time to time into his reverie of Charleston. I get his point about making the surroundings a character in the book because of its substance and influence on the actual characters, I just thought it pulled me away too much from the people I wanted to know more about.

A " couldn't put it down" book,
By Michael Beverly "Michael S. Beverly" (Orange County, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lords of Discipline (Paperback)
It was right after reading "My Losing Season" that I decided it was time to pick up this book. I had thought about reading it several times before, but I as I stated in my review of the nonfiction work "My Losing Season", I was trying to space out Pat Conroy's books because I knew that I'd only get to read them once for the first time.
It was very interesting reading this book because even though it is a fictional story it is based on some true events (which are chronicled in "My Losing Season") as well being based on the realities of many that went through the rigors and trials of a military academy. Conroy interviewed students that graduated as well as students that didn't make it at various military schools (Citadel, VMI, Air Force Academy, etc.) to use their shared experiences to make this work ring true even though it was a fictional story much like many of the Law and Order television episodes are based on real crimes. I kept wondering how much of this story was totally made up and how much was based on real events. In "My Losing Season" Conroy tells the real story of his relationship with a girl that appears in the fictional work here. He changed a lot of the details, but the core truth of how badly she hurt him rings true in both the fictional story here and the actual account of the real events. It made me wonder what other stuff was nearly real in this fictional book... Mr. Conroy talks about how his alma mater wouldn't let him back on campus for many years after this book was published. It hit a cord which reverberated for a long time and I'll take that as a clue that this work, much like "The Prince of Tides" and "Beach Music" were thinly veiled truths, pieces of art that are much to mirror like for comfort. One downside to reading Conroy in general is the depression that always seems to hit me. I must fight my own demons that get stirred up as I turn the pages reading about his. But despite the scabs that get picked and the wounds that hurt over again, I like reading what he has to say because it's real. Real and true are funny ways to describe fiction but when must of us go day to day hiding and playing games perhaps it is enlightening to go ahead and pretend that what is real, is not, and what is not; is. If you have not yet read Pat Conroy, this is as good a place to start as any. This work is not as heavy duty as "Prince of Tides" and "Beach Music" and I'd imagine would probably appeal to a wider audience. Once you've read this I'd wager that you'll be anxious to get your hands on "My Losing Season". Enjoy.

Conroy is a master, this proves it,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lords of Discipline (Paperback)
The Lords of Discipline is an excellent book of friendship, love, pride, betrayal, redemption, and honor. It comes at you from all angels.
No matter what genre you normally read, this book is for you. So well written and so touching, it will make you laugh at the humor of the situations , cry out of loss, feel pride when triumphs occur, and feel anger along with the cadets. Superbly written by an author who makes everything come alive. The characters seem to be real and so close that you could've known them yourself. The setting is so well established you can actually see what is going on. This is the type of book that draws you in and keeps you on your toes. Just when you think you know what is going to happen next, the plot line makes a sudden change and makes you want to know more. This book will make you want to read it again and again , and you probably will. If you enjoy any type of literature, The Lords Of Discipline is a must read. You'll never forget the characters, you'll wish you could forget the things they go through. As this is a semi-autobiographical book, you'll read the events of the Plebe year and tell yourself it doesn't happen, but it does. You'll see the world through the eyes of Carolina Institute Cadet Will McLean. You'll see the Viatnam war for what it was and you'll see the injustices of the world as he saw them. You won't regret having read this book

It never fails...,
By Laurie Sansbury (South Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lords of Discipline (Paperback)
I say that it never fails, and it never has. I've offered large sums of money to anyone who can put this book down and just stop reading in the last one hundred pages. So far, my bank account has never dwindled, and no one has been able to leave the final, crucial events. I've even heard amazing stories of how some folks have gone to extremes to keep themselves awake at 4AM- not willing to miss the concluding moments for the mortal needs of sleep for any reason. Would you like to read the ultimate book on friendship, laughter, caring, love, hardship, honor, concern, betrayal, emotional stability, and death? The Lords of Discipline has it for you. It's set in the times when racial bigotry was much more prevalent, and in a small southern military college where four roommates get a chance to battle the odds and explore the relationships between themselves and with others. It is NOT simply a book about four guys who go to a military college. It IS a book about what it feels like to be a part of a group who counts on his friends for his daily needs, as well as for his ultimate survival. No controversial issue is ommitted, and no emotional response is forgotten. If you've never left home and you've never become dependent on others for your survival, then this is a wake-up call. It's as real as it gets.

The Lords of Discipline,
By lindsey (Fairhope, AL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lords of Discipline (Paperback)
I was required to read this novel for an elective English class. Little did I know that it would become one of my favorite books ever.After finishing the first chapter, I was drawn into the story and imediately a fan of Pat Conroy's. He has a style of writing where he, just as most passionate writers, get caught in the moment and lyrically write from the heart. McLean's experience through military school is something that everyone should read. Even if you are not the least bit interested in the military or it's politics, one can still learn something from this novel morally based on honor, entrapment, betrayal, friendship, and life change. I reccomend this book to both men and women who want to be moved by a page turning, eye watering, and heart opening novel.Thank you,Pat Conroy for giving me the knowledge of how brutal life can be, and thank you for an experience I was able to learn about. You are a brave soul.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce was delighted to see his side return to winning ways after an indifferent spell. The Hammers had gone into Tuesday's match looking for a boost after taking just one point from their previous four Barclays Premier League fixtures.
"I was wondering if we were going to hold our confidence and performance level at home," said Allardyce, who felt the referee had a "great view" of the penalty and made the "correct decision".
"It has been really good, even though we have had two back-to-back defeats, but today they showed they have the mentality to cope with whatever is thrown at them."
Allardyce, who hopes to have striker Andy Carroll available by the end of the month, continued: "The disappointing thing was the chances the front lads missed today, with balls just flashing across the box needing a tap in.
"We lost a goal in the 90th minute which made us edgy in the end when we should have been out of sight.
"We will continue to try to brush up on our finishing techniques with the lads and hope the next time round we are more clinical with our finishing."

Members of the neurotrophin family, including nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin-3, and neurotrophin-4/5, and other neurotrophic growth factors such as ciliary neurotrophic factor and artemin, regulate peripheral and central nervous system development and function. A subset of the neurotrophin-dependent pathways in the hypothalamus, brainstem, and spinal cord, and those that project via the sympathetic nervous system to peripheral metabolic tissues including brown and white adipose tissue, muscle and liver, regulate feeding, energy storage, and energy expenditure. We briefly review the role that neurotrophic growth factors play in energy balance, as regulators of neuronal survival and differentiation, neurogenesis, and circuit formation and function, and as inducers of critical gene products that control energy homeostasis.

Our 2 children (ages 8 months and 22 months) have been at Kuumba since Jan
2013, and we have been exceptionally happy with the care they provide. Kiana
truly loves our kids, and is an important part of their lives. They do a variety of
activities: painting, drawing, field trips to the library and other places, and LOTs
of circle time with reading and songs. Kiana draws on the 30+ years of daycare
experience of her mother, and opens her home and heart to welcome our kids
each day. Rates are the most affordable you will find for such a high level of
care in this neighborhood (North Oakland/S. Berkeley), and we plan to keep our
kids here until preschool. We are happy to answer any questions and serve as
references for the daycare. We highly recommend this
Kuumba Childcare has openings for children ages 2 - 5 years of age. All of their slots for children under 24 months are currently filled. I am recommending Kuumba Childcare to anyonw who may need childcare services. The owner Denise Glaude and her staff are very professional and the children are well cared for at all times. My son is almost 16 months old and has been in their care since he was 3 months old. Please give them a call if you or anyone you know is in need of childcare. They can be reached at 510- 985-1807.

Beyond the Building Blocks: Collection of Architectural Photography
- By Noupe Editorial Team
- Posted in Inspiration, Photography
- 8 comments
Our lives are passively impacted architecturally on a daily basis. To the point where we are virtually desensitized and often do not even take notice of these magnificent architectural structures. We drift in and out of these buildings, pass by them as we move to our destinations, and yet the buildings seem to be blocked from our view. We do not often take time to examine and appreciate the artistry of them.
Both inside and out, so many of the buildings around us possess an uncanny ability to inspire us if we let them in. When we begin to look beyond just the building blocks and metal frames that tend to bring these structures to life, we can see them in entirely new ways. Luckily there are many talented photographers who are more than adept at not only viewing architectural structures this way, but in capturing them so that we, the viewers, can see this in them as well.
Below is a collection of all manners of architectural photography that is sure to inspire anyone who comes across it. Perhaps you will even leave with a deeper appreciation of the buildings in your daily life.

Then a good walk over that bridge opposite the awesome open zoo park and the tweeting song birds.. ..what a beautiful town to have some.. coffee ;) The only issue is it is NOT the best value place to buy.. not at all!.. There is a place down the road (Kleine Gracht) opposite the Focus headshop called Kosbor.. Its tiny but the coffee is always top notch and the prices are great. ...then take your coffee to Mississipi and chill with your mates and the free lollies! 0 21 1 Related Links

I stepped out of the convenience store where I had gassed up and while returning to my car was met by the firm and irritated voice of a stranger:
"You know, the next time you pump gas here, could you move your car? I've been stuck here the whole time you've been in the store."
The brown-haired woman stood next to her red pick-up truck, dusty with winter's debris.
I withheld the New York-style comeback that was welling up within my gut, and instead replied, "I apologize. I've been blocked in many times here. I didn't see you."
Her tone changed completely. She was very pleased by my apology and smiled as she prepared to pull forward.
As I pulled out of the gas station parking lot, I could see that the woman simply could have pulled around to the other side of the pump. The way was clear. She was never stuck.
What role does anger play in our self-imposed limitations?
Explore how your pathways may be freer than you realize;
how many options you actually have, in situations in which you feel "stuck";
and the ways in which anger toward another may be blocking life's progression, in large and small ways, daily.
And may the road rise with you…

It's always humbling to know there are amazingly talented artists out there, which really have no-where close to the following they deserve. Umber is one of them.
'Morning's Pass' is a collection of six songs which Alex Steward has recorded over the past year, making this, his first official release. The EP is a mixture of gentle guitars, distant pianos and beautiful ambient textures – a combination that often promises the earth, but in this instance, delivers the distant, gazing universe on a hot, Summers day.
The EP begins with two similarly brilliant tracks featuring patiently strummed guitars, wrapped in textures and warmth – a perfect interlude for the rather pretty 'Tomorrow We'll Throw Out Some Old Shoes'. This is where Alex's acoustic guitar skills really come into play and an addictive melody pins a big grin on your face – the kind of track that TV advertisers crave for… you know the ones.
'The Day We Left for Earth' is a more mellow affair, but still features Alex's now signature close acoustics wrapped amongst an engaging ambient feel. The remaining tracks are just as special, each as patient and acknowledging as the next. Alex has a talent in creating amazing highs; with perfect timing, and an appreciation for the minimalist instruments he has selected across the EP.
If the likes of Winterlight and Helios had a power-cut, with nothing but a magnitude of acoustic guitars, pianos and their own musical talents to rely on, this is what they'd play – a beautiful post-rock/folk/ambient album which is warming, reflective and similarly genius.
Alex normally gives away 'a song a week' via his Tumblr, which are just as great as the EP. And he has even been so kind as to produce one exclusively for ASIP. You can Download 'I Wasn't Aiming For The Ocean', here.
Umber – Morning's Pass is available to download on Bandcamp and the physical EP's are also worth the investment (photo above is of the lovingly crafted Lilac edition I received).

Comments about dcshoes Women's Lexi Tank:
This shirt is so much cuter in person. The fabric and style is so lovely. I am at the end of the small in the size chart so I took a medium. So for me, it fits a little more "flowy" than how to top is portrayed on the model. But I like it better that way anyhow... it has a bit of movement to the fabric. I am really glad I purchased this!

We show that Mso1p is essential for vesicle fusion during prospore membrane formation. Green fluorescent protein-tagged Mso1p localizes to the sites of exocytosis and at the site of prospore membrane formation. In vivo and in vitro experiments identified a short amino-terminal sequence in Mso1p that mediates its interaction with Sec1p and is needed for vesicle fusion. A point mutation, T47A, within the Sec1p-binding domain abolishes Mso1p functionality in vivo, and mso1T47A mutant cells display specific genetic interactions with sec1 mutants. Mso1p coimmunoprecipitates with Sec1p, Sso1/2p, Snc1/2p, Sec9p, and the exocyst complex subunit Sec15p. In sec4-8 and SEC4I133 mutant cells, association of Mso1p with Sso1/2p, Snc1/2p, and Sec9p is affected, whereas interaction with Sec1p persists. Furthermore, in SEC4I133 cells the dominant negative Sec4I133p coimmunoprecipitates with Mso1p-Sec1p complex. Finally, we identify Mso1p as a homologue of the PTB binding domain of the mammalian Sec1p binding Mint proteins. These results position Mso1p in the interface of the exocyst complex, Sec4p, and the SNARE machinery, and reveal a novel layer of molecular conservation in the exocytosis machinery.

Looks like the story about Estonia suffering military cyberattacks from Russia was bogus:
"We see signs of Russian nationalism at work here, but no Russian government connection," Nazario told Heise Security. "None of the sources we have analyzed from around the world show a clear line from Moscow to Tallinn; instead, it's from everywhere around the world to Estonia."LinkThe article also notes "there was no apparent attempt to target national critical infrastructure other than internet resources."
Update: Elver sez, "As all attempts to link the Russian government to the attacks were failing, the Russians themselves came and confessed! An official operative of Nashi, the youth organisation with close ties to Putin, gave an interview to the newspaper "Vedomosti" saying that he and his fellow Nashists were behind the cyberwar attacks. I only have an Estonian source for this, however.
"So while there's no evidence of a clear and simple connection between the Russian government and the attacks, operatives of Nashi have confessed to the attacks and the Nashi organization has very close ties to Putin."

You often see pundits making suggestions to political candidates like David Brooks makes in his New York Times column today (1/10/12):
If Romney is to thrive, he really needs to go on an integrity tour. He needs to show how his outer pronouncements flow directly from his inner core. He needs to trust that voters will take him as he really is….
He needs to stop opportunistically backtracking on his Medicare position, just to please whatever senior group he happens to be in front of. He needs to show that he is willing to pursue at least a few unpopular policies, even policies that are unfashionable in his own party. Since many people fear that he is a suck-up, it would actually help him at this point if he violated party orthodoxy in some bold and independent way.
He needs to step outside the cautious incrementalism that is the inevitable product of excessive polling and focus-group testing. He needs to find a policy like entitlement reform that is so important to him that he's willing to risk losing the presidency over it. The eternal rule of presidential politics is that a candidate has to be willing to lose everything if he's going to win everything.
My question is: Has any candidate ever successfully employed this strategy of wooing voters by promising to do things they think shouldn't be done? In the history of the world?
Now, when you're in office, you might make an unpopular move that turns out to improve the economy or what have you, and you could benefit politically from that. And during a campaign, you might be able to persuade voters that what they think is a bad idea is actually a good idea.
But basing your campaign on the assumption that there's a significant number of voters who would say, "I like this guy–he's telling me he's going to do a lot of things I think are wrong"? That's an idea that only a pundit could love.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A Kanawha County man accused of murdering his stepdaughter last month was arrested Thursday after being released from CAMC General Hospital.
Roy Roger Pittman, 69, was taken to South Central Regional Jail. Pittman has been charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and malicious wounding.
He allegedly killed his 15-year-old adopted stepdaughter with a shotgun blast to the chest and shot his 18-year-old adopted stepson in the upper leg on May 24 at a home on Keystone Drive.
Following the shootings, deputies said Pittman turned the gun on himself in an attempted suicide, suffering serious facial injuries. He wore a metal faceplate during Thursday's appearance in magistrate court.

One question though - Is the schematic as simple as connecting the VCC, GND, DATA and CLK?
Posted 06 September 2010 - 10:25 PM
@sparky - The circuit details are on the blog, in the post. Basically, tie pins 2-5 and 14 to VCC, pin 1 to gnd, pin 6 to P1.0, pin 7 to P1.2, pin 8 to P1.3, and pin 13 to P1.1. The remaining four pins (pins 9-12) are the outputs of each DAC. Tie those to whatever you'd like to use the signals for. That's all there is! Be sure to read the datasheet though, it's helpful.

So, for example, an RGB LED and an audio amplifier?The remaining four pins (pins 9-12) are the outputs of each DAC. Tie those to whatever you'd like to use the signals for.

I'm thinking equalizer.So, for example, an RGB LED and an audio amplifier?
Those are both great ideas To test it I attached a quick and dirty Arduinoscope to the four outputs. After I confirmed that the waveforms were being generated correctly (more or less, the waves are very rough approximations due to being constrained to a small 32 cycle sample), I then attached it to a .25" mono jack and plugged it into my amp, and tested the four channels that way, annoying my roommate and his girlfriend in the process. They both thought it was geeky as hell, but they loved that I could do that.
I'm planning on designing an audio synthesis shield around this DAC, with a few potentiometers (or other analog voltage sources), a few mono outputs, a tact switch, a DIP switch, and maybe a few jumpers to make customization easy. This will be a flexible platform for creating instruments, which is my main goal with the LaunchPad, aside from some simple lab equipment, such as an oscilloscope and a function generator (a bit more advanced than the one presented...). But yes, you can use this chip to control anything that needs a variable voltage. Just attach it to the DAC of your choice.

has anyone tried it on IAR? I'm having some troubles when I compile it
I just compiled and loaded it using IAR with no problems. Could you describe the problems you're having?
My other pages: home page/portfolio || development blog
Posted 07 September 2010 - 04:23 PM
Posted 07 September 2010 - 09:36 PM
There is an error for each of the functions; "Undefined external "tlv_updateMode"....".I have the example code and the two source files in the same directory. Am i missing something?
That... is strange. Have you created a new project for it, added the files to the project, and set the MSP430 chip that you are using in the project settings?
Here's a step by step of what I did to get it to work:
1. Extracted all files to the same directory
2. Started IAR
3. Went to Project -> Create New Project...
4. Right clicked on the new project name in the workspace pan on the left
5. Options -> first page, click on the button next to device, and selected my chip (MSP430G2231 in my case)
7. Right click on project -> Add -> Add Files...
8. Added the three files from earlier.
9. Plugged in a LaunchPad
10. Hit CTRL+D to start download and debug (could also go to Project -> Download and Debug)
It worked for me. The only thing I got errorwise was two "non-native end of line" warnings, which means that the editor from CCS doesn't necessarily keep the correct endline characters. Completely harmless warnings. Most of all, it worked.
I hope this helps. I don't really use IAR (but I might start... it seems a lot less bloated than CCS, but I eventually want to work with MSPGCC4, I live on the command line), so I can't be of too much help, but it's probably just the standard IDE-getting-in-the-way troubles.
Anyway, glad that you've given me a reason to look into IAR support Let me know if this helps.
My other pages: home page/portfolio || development blog
Posted 07 September 2010 - 10:03 PM
I have done some projects in IAR before but i'm not used to work with libraries, although i will start using them, they seem to be pretty handy.
The problem was in the 7th step. I thought that with the "include" at the beginning was enough, now is working!!! I only make a little test of the soft, I'm looking forward to try it in hardware (I happen to have the TLV ) but this will have to wait, I ave an exam on thursday!!!
Once again thanks for all the help

Board Certified
Sangeeta Sehgal, MD
Being able to interact with my patients is my favorite part about internal medicine.
Growing up surrounded by family members who were physicians, Dr Sehgal went on to graduate from the M.G.M. Medical College in Indore, India and followed that with a residency in internal medicine at Michael Reese Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago. "Internal medicine gives me the opportunity to interact one-on-one with my patients," she said. "I honestly feel as if I'm making a difference in people's lives." A hospitalist in Chicago before moving her practice to the region in 2005, Dr. Sehgal says she provides comprehensive healthcare. "I am particularly interested in women's health issues, conditions of the endocrine system and rheumatology. I love everything about my job!"

After the other team took a look at us and said we looked serious (because of our shirts primarily), our pitcher pitched a shut-out while our team scored 9 runs. On to the rest of the teams!" - Nick (Jun 20, 2013) Share this photo on: Twitter Facebook Pinterest Similar Photos: kickball | sports | tanks | team | green | sports and teams Feeling inspired?
