Gonzaga Bulldogs (11-3)
@Illinois Fighting Illini (9-5)
Saturday, January 02
United Center - Chicago, IL
Attendance: 20,917
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Elias Harris hit a jumper with 12 seconds remaining in overtime, lifting the Gonzaga Bulldogs to a thrilling 85-83 win over the Illinois Fighting Illini in a non-league tilt at the United Center.
Harris finished with 19 points and 16 rebounds for Gonzaga (11-3). Steven Gray registered a team-high 20 points to help push the Bulldogs' win streak to three games. Robert Sacre also scored 19, while Matt Bouldin finished with 18 points, nine boards and seven assists in the win.
Dominique Keller had a game-high 22 points off the bench to go along with nine boards for the Fighting Illini (9-5), who were coming off Wednesday night's overtime win against Northwestern. Demetri McCamey scored 20, Brandon Paul added 17 points, and Mike Davis finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds in a losing effort.
Gonzaga raced out to a commanding 32-11 lead on a jumper by Sacre at the 10:39 mark of the first half. However, Illinois was able to withstand the charge and eventually cut the deficit to 43-35 at halftime.
The Illini tied the score at 45 on a three-pointer by Paul two minutes into the second half, and they led by as many as eight with 10:36 remaining in regulation. Gonzaga took a 79-76 lead after Gray hit a pair of free throws with 22 seconds remaining. On the other end, Keller forced overtime on a three-pointer with nine seconds to play, which was made possible thanks to a key offensive rebound by Davis.
Illinois shot 0-of-6 from the floor in the extra session. After Harris put Gonzaga ahead on a jumper with 12 seconds to play, Paul missed a potential game-winning three for Illinois in the final seconds.
Gonzaga shot 55.9 percent from the floor. Meanwhile, the Illini struggled to find their range, as they connected on only 4-of-24 three-pointers for the game.

Bark: Confessions of a Dog Trainer
What we love about dogs, and how we can help them become even better.

Imagine having no thumbs. The definition of a thumbless hand is a paw. When you are thumbless, you rely on your mouth to pick things up. You also depend on the kindness of strangers (and family) to open and close the door. So when Cassius the Corgi's owner bemoans the way her dog bolts out […]

The Dog in the Mirror
I confess I am more like a dog now than before becoming a dog trainer. Don't get me wrong. There is nothing inherently bad about having a few canine attributes. But it seems to me that obedience and behavioral training is what we do with our dog pals to get them to be less "doggy." […]

Tall dogs leave nose prints on your eyeglasses
Owning a tall dog – think Irish Wolfhound, Great Dane, Greyhound, Bull Mastiff – has some unique challenges. For example: 1. Putting human food on top of the refrigerator is NOT a solution. 2.

True lies
In a household with more than one person, it is a certainty that there are at least that many (conflicting) opinions about the family dog.

Western Refining Announces First Quarter 2013 Results
EL PASO, Texas, May 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Western Refining, Inc. (NYSE:WNR) today reported first quarter 2013 net income, excluding special items, of $98.8 million, or $0.94 per diluted share. This compares to first quarter 2012 net income, excluding special items, of $85.1 million, or $0.81 per diluted share. Including special items, the Company recorded first quarter 2013 net income of $83.7 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $53.5 million, or $0.60 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2012. Special items in the first quarter of 2013 were $23.8 million which primarily consisted of $22.0 million in charges associated with the extinguishment of debt. A reconciliation of reported earnings and description of special items can be found in the accompanying financial tables.
Adjusted EBITDA was $242.7 million, a first quarter record, which compares to an Adjusted EBITDA of $183.0 million for the first quarter of 2012. The quarter-on-quarter improvement in both net income and Adjusted EBITDA was due in large part to higher refining margins resulting from cost-advantaged crude oils and strong product values in the Southwest U.S.
During the quarter, Western issued $350 million of 6.25% senior unsecured notes and used the proceeds to pay off existing 11.25% senior secured notes. The Company returned approximately $83 million in cash to shareholders through a first quarter dividend and by share repurchases. Also in the quarter, the Board of Directors authorized and directed Western management to explore the formation of a traditional master limited partnership. In March, Western completed a major turnaround of the north side of the El Paso refinery.
Jeff Stevens, Western's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Western delivered another strong quarter as we continued to build on the momentum of our outstanding 2012 financial performance. During the first quarter, we took a number of steps that we believe will have a long-term positive impact for the Company. Our ability to refinance our long-term debt, on an unsecured basis and at a 6.25% rate, is a clear reflection of our balance sheet improvements and the positive outlook the market has for Western. The refinancing will result in approximately $15 million in annual interest expense savings and will give us even more financial flexibility."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Rossdale In Stefani's Shadow
Former Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale admits the phenomenal success of his wife Gwen Stefani has often left him sidelined.
Rossdale's band sold more than 15 million records worldwide during their heyday - but he is now not as famous as the former No Doubt frontwoman.
He says, "Apparently people can forget that you've sold 15 or 20 million records. But her journey has been so meteoric that I don't know anyone who wouldn't be sidelined next to her.
"Imagine what it would be like if I hadn't sold that many records, I'd be emasculated like a eunuch."

MofReno from Reno, NV | 1/16/2014 11:18 PM
This is the second Walter Hagen Brand quarter zip I have purchased, both in the same style. Construction is good; zippered front is very functional, easy to use. The top is good as an outer layer; functions well in moderately cool weather, although not designed as stand alone outerwear when very cold. If there is anything preventing the top from receiving a "five" for functionality and appearance, its the thickness of the top, which can hinder heavier outerwear worn over it.

Like I mentioned in the subject, this hotel is perfect besides the location being far away from the downtown area. There is a small mall across the street but there's not much else nearby. Although it is very close to the subway and it's a quick 20 min train ride to downtown. The whole of Beijing felt very safe when my friend and I were walking around. Although NO ONE spoke english so make sure to bring a map that you can point your finger so they can help in case you get lost. I can't say the people were that friendly but they were willing to help if you showed them your map. Anyways back to the hotel. The lobby is very nice and the restaurants are very nice inside the hotel. That being said we paid about $60 USD for dinner buffet and it wasn't very good as everything was not that fresh. They had a good selection but I didn't care for much of it especially the seafood which wasn't fresh at all. The breakfast is included with your stay and that is magnificent! So much selection and everything was tasty...such a big difference from the dinner. It was the largest hotel breakfast buffet I've ever eaten from fresh made to order omelets to different kinds of congee to fresh made to order soups and a lot of pastries and fruits. The room is very well appointed and clean and there was fast free wifi. I especially liked the large showers and separate bathtubs. The showers had both a hand shower and a from the ceiling rainfall shower which was nice. The water pressure was good too. There was really nothing to watch on TV but I didn't care since most of the day I was out and I also have a bunch of video services from the internet. There is also a very nice swimming pool and a pretty big gym for you to work out. The service was very good and the price was affordable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who comes to Beijing.

But since it's the government refusing to provide life-saving health care…
If it were a private insurance company…
There are two tiers of men with advanced prostate cancer in Ontario: Those who get access to a remarkable drug through private insurance, and those who get a death sentence.
That latter group is also known as: people relying on gummint health care.
The grim news is often delivered at the London Regional Cancer Program to men whose shoulders sag and jaws drop when told Ontario's Health Ministry has for 15 months refused to pay for a medication covered by every other Canadian province.
"There's shock, fury and dismay," said oncologist Kylea Potvin. "Everyone thinks we have this wonderful universal health care system, but this is absolutely not the case. We've increasingly become a two-tier health care system where if you have money, you have access."
Or if you live anywhere but Ontario. Or do they not have poor people in Saskatchewan?
It's important to note: the Canadian health care system approved the drug (as has the U.S.), but Ontario is denying it. Why?
(Health Minister Deb Matthews) admitted it was the drug's costs that had been the holdup and said she hoped negotiations now under way would further reduce the price enough for the ministry to cover the costs.
Well, look. If the Ontario health care system is promising certain things, but this drug isn't among those things, then really…hey, I understand, it still sucks, but…were you promised that drug? Did the gummint commit to providing that drug?
No? Then why would we expect them to provide it?
Maybe for the same reason that a private health care company would be dragged across broken, flaming glass by these very same government officials if a private company pleaded "cost" when denying a life-saving drug.
But never mind. It isn't a private company: it's the government. And when the government denies coverage, that's universal!

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2015
Where did the English late family come from? What is the English late family crest and coat of arms? When did the late family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the late family history? The origins of the name late are from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It is derived from the baptismal name Lettice, a popular girls name in medieval times. This personal name was originally derived from the Latin laetitia, which means gladness and joy. Baptismal names began to appear as surnames relatively late in the growth of the naming tradition. This is a little surprising, given the popularity of biblical figures in the Christian countries of Europe. Nevertheless, surnames derived from baptismal names grew in popularity during the Middle Ages, and have become one of the foremost sources for surnames.Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the late family name include Lett, Layt, Laite, Layte, Let, Lete, Latt, Leyt, Letts, Lettson and many more. First found in Gloucestershire, where they held a family seat as Lords of the manor of Lett, before the taking of the Domesday Book in 1086. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our late research.

Description The present application is a Section 371 National Stage Application of International patent application Serial No. PCT/SE2003/001192, filed Jul. 8, 2003, and published in English as WO 2004/005960, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The present invention relates to level measurement in industrial processes, wherein the invention is used for measurement of product level in a storage tank of the type used in industrial applications using a microwave level gauge. More specifically, the present invention relates to a circuit for providing the radar level gauge with microwaves optionally operating on at least two different frequency bands and a method for the generation of said different microwave frequency bands. There is known in the art to measure the level of the surface of a product stored in a tank by means of a radar level gauge. Such devices are disclosed in a number of documents. As an example of such a document, it will here be referred to patent document U.S. Pat. No. 4,665,403. Radar level gauges for use, as an example within the processing industry, must be able to function under very different conditions. The product stored could be a lot of different products, such as petroleum refinery products, liquid gases and other chemical compounds. This implies that such parameters as temperature and pressure can be of very shifting values. Disturbing structures are also existing inside the tank. Such are, for example, devices as agitators, foam, etc., whereby measuring is rendered more difficult and may go wrong. Three technical problems are recognized from this: 1� various structures inside the tank give disturbing radar echoes, 2� it is desirable to have an antenna creating a narrow antenna beam (among other to suppress disturbing echoes), 3� various propagation influences (dirt on the antenna, foam on a liquid product surface etc.) may reduce the desired echo greatly but in worst case leave the disturbing echoes. These problems are partly known in radar history (see for instance Merill I Skolniks 3 books Radar Systems 1962, Radar Hbk 1970 and Radar Hbk 1990�all from McGraw Hill). Typically a low radar frequency (up to 3 GHz) is used for long range surveillance systems (100 km and more) while a high radar frequency (10 GHz and higher), where rain etc. may limit the measuring range, are used for high precision navigation, fire control etc. at rather small distances (a few km). In connection with level gauging in tanks there may be quite a number of disturbing echoes. The disturbing echoes from the surroundings, either if the echoes come from structures in a tank, or in the field of air traffic control, from ground echoes interfering with an echo from an aircraft, will limit the ability to detect or measure the desired echo among the many undesired ones. One standard solution to decrease the influence of such undesired interference for a pulse radar, as an example, is to let the transmitter frequency jump around within a band of a few 100 MHz to over 1 GHz. The use of these small frequency jumps within a radar band is normally called �frequency agility� (see chapter 9.7 in Skolniks Radar Hbk from 1990 or DK Bartons book �Frequency agility and diversity� from Artech House 1977). Multiple frequencies are also used in CW radars both as a frequency modulated CW radar, FMCW (using a range of frequencies) and multiple frequency CW radar, MFCW (for instance described in Skolniks book Radar Systems from 1962). MFCW radar has also been described for liquid level gauging (�Microwave surface level monitor� by Stanley Stuchley in IEEE trans. on industrial electronics, August 1971 and in patent document NO 831198). A frequency agility pulsed radar for level gauging is suggested in published patent document U.S. 2002/0020216. For a radar level gauge used in a tank the situation is in many ways different from an outdoor radar and the following conditions should especially be mentioned. A) The tank geometry and structure may give many disturbing echoes, whereby normally a narrow beam is desirable, but on the other hand the mounting possibilities in the tank (the size of the already existing mounting hole) generally limit the available space for the antenna, which preferably should be big to give a narrow microwave beam from the antenna. B) Another important factor is that many liquids or tank conditions creates a foam layer on the liquid or a layer of dirt on the antenna. Due to the special dielectric properties of water, wet dirt, especially, may give a disastrous limitation of the propagation already at a few tenths of a mm wet dirt or a foam layer with the corresponding water content. C) The frequency bands used for level gauging are for the time being around 6 GHz (related to the ISM band at 5.8 GHz), around 10 GHz and around 25 GHz (related to the ISM-band at 24.5 GHz). Nearly all radar level gauges are operated in closed metallic tanks and at low power so the leakage of electromagnetic power can be kept within current rules in spite of the need for a rather big bandwidth as compared to for instance the width of the ISM-bands. D) Typical for a radar level gauge is further that the surface not always moves. The surface echo may thus be mixed with fixed echoes from tank structures and a possibly destructive interference at certain frequencies may persist for a long time. At a pulse radar, a way to decrease such effects is to use more than one frequency which is a closely related reason to use frequency agility in standard radars. As comparison an FMCW radar sweeps over a range of frequencies thus avoiding said problem. The installation conditions (such as foaming state etc.) are in many cases not well known as the tank may be old or not possible to open due to high pressure or extreme temperature in the tank, poisonous content etc. The very diversified needs have created a number of different radar level gauges on the market among them 3 groups of gauges using frequencies around 6, 10 and 25 GHz. In all three cases typically 10% bandwidth is used both in case of an FMCW system and a pulsed system (in which case the bandwidth is determined by the pulse length). To illustrate the range of differences the lobe-width for the same antenna diameter is around 4 times bigger at 6 GHz compared to 25 GHz, while the attenuation through the same layer of dirt or foam corresponds to 4 times longer measuring distance at 6 GHz as compared to 25 GHz, given the same sensitivity. With the same measure, the possible range at 6 GHz is around two times the range at 6 GHz, given the same layer of dirt and the same antenna size. A 25 GHz radar level gauge is in practical cases not usable in combination with dirt and foam. The actual conditions may in practical cases be hard to know in advance so a change of gauge to one using another frequency frequently occurs. The problems mentioned may be compensated for by use of more than one radar level gauge, where each of them can measure at a different frequency band. Such a solution is of course not wanted as it makes the system expensive and many times not possible to install in a tank. Document U.S. Pat. No. 5,659,321 shows an example of a radar level gauge system enabling level measurements on two different microwave frequencies. This is achieved by the use of a radar level module and a frequency converter for allowing the same radar level module to be used also at the higher frequency. The choice of the frequency band is made at the installation of the radar level gauge in the tank and makes it possible to adapt the radar characterics to the conditions prevailing in the tank, which depends on type of tank or of the kind of material being stored in the tank. The type of antenna installed is matched to the choiced frequency. It is not possible by means of the disclosed system to change the frequency continuously or to change the frequency in dependence of varying conditions in the tank during normal operation of the radar level gauge system. According to one aspect of the invention, there is presented a two-wire powered radar level gauge having the features of the independent device claim. According to a second aspect of the invention, there is presented a method for radar level gauging having the features of the independent method claim. The circuit according to the present invention is simple an advantageous to use in an FMCW radar. It is simple to tap off the wanted frequency. It is possible to use circuits by starting from a microwave source having a low frequency signal, whereby the signal is converted to higher frequencies. This method gives a low phase noise, but a rather narrow bandwidth. Another possibility to arrive at multiple microwave frequencies is to start with a high frequency microwave signal, whereby this signal is converted down in one or more steps. This method renders a higher noise, but a better bandwidth than the mentioned method of converting the signal to higher frequencies. According to the invention, there is thus provided a radar level gauge for measuring the level of a surface of a product stored in a tank by use of a radar, where said radar transmits microwaves towards said surface and receives microwaves reflected by said surface and wherein said radar is adapted to transmit and receive said microwaves within two widely separated frequency bands. Widely separated frequency bands are chosen to utilize the differences in attenuation due to foam on the surface and the differences in beam-width or other disturbances. The ratio between the center frequencies of the two frequency bands can be quantified as at least greater than 1:1.5 or preferably greater than 1:2. Still, according to the invention, said radar level gauge is coupled to a multiband antenna. Said antenna could be any antenna having broad band performance. Preferred antennas are those from the group consisting of: a wide band horn antenna, a helix antenna, a patch array multiband antenna. One advantage with the level gauge according to the invention is that it is possible to measure the surface level of a product by use of switching between different frequencies bands. Thus it will not be necessary to change the level gauge equipment operating on a certain frequency band to another level gauge equipment operating on another frequency band that is better suited for the conditions prevailing in the tank. It will also be possible to perform the level gauging by measurements on more than one frequency band for the same product in the tank. This may be performed by an automatic switching between the available frequency bands, whereafter the results of the measurements performed at different frequency bands may be compared and analysed for a determination of the most accurate value of the level of the surface of the product inside the tank. One further advantage with a radar level gauge according to the invention aspect is that a signal received from the radar can be made more advanced and analyzed by means of a comparison of different spectra. Judgements of which echo from the surface of the product in the tank that is the most accurate and which echoes that may be disregarded as disturbance echoes are made available by the present invention. A number of embodiments of the present invention supported by the enclosed figures will be disclosed in the following. An application of a radar level gauge is shown in According to the invention a level gauge operating on a multiple of frequencies is disclosed. An example of a radar level gauge (10) according to the invention is schematically illustrated in A control unit 11 is controlling an RF module 12. Said control unit 10 is thus controlling the switching between the different frequencies on which the RF module may operate. The RF module 12 is generating the microwave signal for transmitting and receiving the microwaves into and from the tank as described. The signal received is transformed to a low frequency signal, which is digitalized and analyzed in a signal analyzing unit 13. In the signal analyzer 13 the received signal is analyzed on the frequencies of which the level gauge is transmitting. From the analysis it is then decided in the signal analyzer on which frequencies the level gauge will be operated. A control signal with information about the chosen frequency is sent from the signal analyzer 13 to the control unit 11, which controls the frequency switching of the RF module 12. In the signal analyzer 13 there is also an evaluation unit, for calculation of the product surface level 6 in a conventional way. The different echo spectra received from the at least two different frequency bands are analysed in this evaluation unit for determining the level of the surface in the tank and for being the basis of the analysis of which calculated value being the most accurate as described above. Upon this analysis the evaluation unit will adopt the level gauging system to use only one of the frequency bands for determining the accurate value or to use the values from the at least two different frequency bands by use of any averaging calculation method. The distribution of the microwave signal between the RF module 12 and the antenna 4 is accomplished by means of a transmission line 14. Said transmission line can be provided by means of a coaxial wire or by any type of a wave guide. Particularly appropriate for use as a wave guide is a ridge wave guide, as such a wave guide has the bandwidth that is necessary in this application. A conventional ridge wave guide can not be used without structural changes as it must be sealed for use in a tank. Hence, in this embodiment the ridge wave guide is adapted to level gauging requirements by sealing the wave guide to withstand pressure differences between the inside and the outside of a tank wall. Further, the surfaces of the ridge wave guide inside the tank wall can be provided with surface layers which can stand possible contamination. One preferred surface layer is polished PTFE, which is difficult to wet. The RF module for generating microwaves can be operated according to any radar principle for distance measuring such as the FMCW modulation principle or according to any pulsed system. The generation of microwaves may be arranged for 2 frequency bands or for any number n of frequency bands. As the antenna 4, any broadband antenna for microwaves may be used but many conventional wide band type antennas are not suited for use in the tough tank environment with its requirement for sealing, problems with dirt etc. The antenna must be mounted via a lead-through in the tank wall. Wide band horn antennas may be used in any of different designs, either as normal probe feeded horns or, as mentioned, as so called ridge wave guides, which have extremely large bandwidth. A ridge wave guide can further be arranged for working in both one or two polarizations. Such a horn can be connected to the RF module 12 via a connection for the ridge wave guide in the RF module. This is an advantage as a good seal for the tank can be provided inside the wave guide. An explosion tight cladding may further be provided for in the casing for the electronics. Another alternative is to connect the horn antenna to the RF module via a micro strip feeder or any type of TEM-line corresponding to a coaxial line (TEM is a common name for all cables with two or more leaders irrespective of the cross-section of the cable). The antenna is a typical and very critical component in a multiband radar level gauging system. Beside of the normal antenna function (as described in antenna textbooks) it must fulfill all the following three requirements pressure sealing, sealing surface to withstand a layer of dirt, condensation etc and be usable over the two or more bands typical in the present described system. As an example of a typical antenna for this purpose, a ridge horn antenna which (as compared to its standard counterpart) is filled and sealed with a dielectric sealing such as PTFE and shaped towards the tank atmosphere to avoid destructive condensation, i.e. as a basically conical shape which is polished. Another type of antennas that can be used for the purpose are helix antennas as these antennas are frequency independent. A log-periodic antenna or a Yagi antenna are also possible candidates, where the log-periodic antenna typically covers several frequency bands. Still one more type of antennas that can be used for the purpose are patch array antennas for multiple bands. An antenna of this type can be designed in such a way that two frequency bands with two different center frequencies may be achieved. Different radar techniques may be used for accomplishing a multiband radar solution for use in the application as disclosed in the invention. An FMCW radar as well as a pulsed radar system could be used as there are no differences between those systems, in principle, with regard to the present application. In the following, there is described one example of a radar using an FMCW radar system for operation on two different frequency bands according to the present invention. A block diagram showing said disclosed example is enclosed in A detailed description of the included electronic blocks will not be made here as the use of the blocks are known in the art. In The signal from the output of the microwave source is sent to a first multiplier 26, wherein the frequency of the microwave in this specific example is multiplied by 2, which means that the frequency available is now on the 6 GHz band. The microwave is then further attenuated in a second attenuator 27 and being forwarded to a first switch 28. The function of the circuit is here first described with the switches of the circuit being set for use of the 6 GHz band. To achieve this, the switches are set in the a) positions indicated in the figure. The microwave signal from the first switch is distributed to a first power divider 29, wherein one portion of the signal (T) is directed to the transmitting antenna 39 by passing a second switch 34. A second portion of the microwave signal (R) is distributed from said first power divider 29 to a first mixer 37. An echo signal is received by the receiving antenna 40 and guided through a third switch 36 to said first mixer, whereby an intermediate frequency signal IF is obtained according to known theories. Said IF signal is amplified in an IF amplifier 38. The IF signal is then distributed to the analyser 13 comprising analysing and evaluation units as described. If the switches of the circuit are set in the b) positions the complete circuit will operate on a second frequency. In this case, the microwave signal is once again, after the output from attenuator 27, directed to a multiplier, a second multiplier 30, whereby in this specific example, the frequency of the microwave signal is multiplied by two, thus providing a microwave on the 12 Ghz frequency band at the output of the second multiplier 30. After attenuation of the signal in a third attenuator 31, the signal is a third time distributed to a multiplier 32, which now brings the frequency of the microwave signal up to 24 Ghz, whereby the radar is now operating on the 24 GHz band. One portion of the 24 GHz microwave signal provided by a second power divider 33 is now brought to the second switch 34 and due to the b) position of the second switch the microwave signal is distributed to the transmitter antenna 39. The other portion of the signal provided at the second power divider 33 is sent to a second mixer 35, where said other portion of the microwave signal is mixed with the echo signal guided through the third switch 36 from the receiving antenna 40. Out from the mixer 35 an intermediate frequency microwave IF is obtained. Said IF signal is amplified in IF amplifier 38, whereby the IF signal is output for analysing and evaluation as earlier mentioned. In the description above the antenna unit is referred to as a transmitting antenna 39 and a receiving antenna 40, respectively. These two functions may, of course, be united into one antenna unit, which performs both the transmitting and receiving functions. Further, it is of course possible to use other frequencies from the circuit of the present invention than those described. As an alternative, it is possible, for example, to use the 12 GHz microwave signal prevailing at the output of the second multiplier 30, instead, or as a complement to the 24 GHz signal. If said 12 GHz signal would be used as a complement, a further power divider, mixer and other switches must be used to allow for three different frequencies to be chosen. To add one more multiplier or to use multipliers with higher multiplying factors give possibilities to arrive at even higher microwave frequencies, if desired. The switches are controlled by a control signal that switches all of the switches simultaneously. The control signal can be sent from a controller in a control room, for example initiated by an operator, or it can be programmed to be sent from the above mentioned analyser upon conditions stated in software. A pulsed radar may be realized for achieving a corresponding function by substituting the VCO and the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) 23 with an oscillator with a fixed frequency and pulse circuits.

As long as the Dems control the Senate, impeachment is foolish. Unfortunately, the GOP screws up routinely. Who knows what they will do.
I'd say try to get control of the Senate and start serving up bills to enforce the border, provide a Liberty centric Health option, start returning control of things to the states, defund entire departments, cut all corporate subsidies (sink or swim on your merit) and let's see who the obstructionist is. We'd see veto after veto for two years running.

They put up deer crossing signs so the deer know where to cross the road.
Eagles are certainly smarted than deer. Couldn't we put up federally susidized
windmill signs to warn the eagles?
Actually the government really doesn't care. The wind companies can pay their fine to the government
or they can buy a "take permit" to accidentally kill up to N eagles in advance for guarantee of lenient treatment later.
Either way, Federal and State government get their cut so everything if just fine and dandy. Right?
Is there any chance these particular wind companies that were charged have evil conservatives on their management team and this is selective punishment?

To suggest that the crusty old guard of the GOP is internet savvy enough to do this is ridiculous.
There is enough poor workmanship to go around and the healthcare site cornered the market on it for now. My gut feel, is that if you dig deeper, the firm that did the software is in someway tied to some big time bundler/donor/crony.

65 289 stumbles at lower rpm during accelleration.
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I rebuilt the Autolite 2V carburetor, put in new points, condenser, rotor, cap, and vacuum advance (generic for an M2100). Vacuum at idle is 21 in/m. The vacuum is hooked up to the ported inlet on the carb, and has no vacuum at idle. I set the timing at 6 degrees BTD with the vacuum advance disconnected and plugged, set the Dwell at 28(.0017"), and idle at 550 RPM, per manufacturer spec. Also adjusted the idle jets. Now, when I run the throttle up by hand, it stumbles around 1500 RPM. Tried adjusting it out by manually changing the timing, but nothing would change. The only thing that gets rid of the stumble is to disconnect and plug the vacuum advance. It runs great this way, but I know this is not good for daily driving. The new vacuum advance does work, as I tested it before installation. Is there a specific type, or adjustment for travel at vacuum level that needs to be made to set the vacuum advance? There are no obvious vacuum leaks, and the engine idles and revs smoothly without the vacuum advance connected and it's port plugged. Trans is manual.

tennisshoes answered about a year ago
There is a adjuster screw inside the vacuum advance port, it is allen configuration, but you need to check out the breaker plate in your distributor it sounds like it is worn out. When that happens the dwell and point setting will change as rpm's increase and the vacuum advance starts to pull on the breaker plate to advance the spark, it will change to the point that the engine will start to misfire cylinders due to the points not opening as the distributor cam just slips past the point block not opening the points. Blue point used to make a breaker plate that had a solid shaft with a brass bushing where the plastic one normally would be, they were great for higher RPM's. I hope I have sent you in right direction.
Troy answered about a year ago
When you rebuilt the carburetor the accelerator pump is adjustable by moving the small linkage to different holes. The 1965 Manual I have, has the rod in the in-board hole of the pump arm and 3rd or 4th hole from bottom of shaft on throttle lever.
Troy answered about a year ago
Not enough volume of fuel discharged from the accelerator pump will cause a off idle stumble, Too much black smoke out the tailpipe when accelerating.
Mufflerbearing answered about a year ago
I replaced the breaker plate, as well as a new vacuum advance when I discovered the other new one was defective. I would not move, even using manual pressure on the breaker plate linkage. You were right about the breaker plate. It was a cheap aftermarket replacement, and was starting to come apart where the spring tensioner held the top plate. The retainer clip was coming off the top of the deteriorated plastic/nylon post. This resolved most of the problem. I still get a small amount of hesitation on acceleration, but not much, and not when accelerating easy. uch thank's, John
Mufflerbearing answered about a year ago
Troy, The accelerator pump linkage is set to the 3rd hole up from the bottom of the linkage, and the inner hole on the pump arm. It is a good snug fit, and squirts immediately when the throttle is depressed. John
tennisshoes answered about a year ago
I would change the link arm to the outside hole on the arm, and back off the spring tension about 3 turns inside the vacuum advance unit and give that a try. You might have to do a little "drive and adjust" to get it just right. Are you running ethanol free fuel? If not try putting in some marine fuel stabilizer.
Mufflerbearing answered about a year ago
Changed the linkage, but it runs much better with the spring tsnnsion set as tight as possible. Have not tried the fuel stabilizer as of yet.

What if Hitler had a love child? Historian A.N. Wilson's "Winnie and Wolf" is a chilling fictional tale of a clandestine affair.
Hitler's legacy is so repugnant that even his surviving relatives fiercely guard their privacy and have mostly changed their surname, despite any profit they might make from sales of their famous relative's prison memoir "Mein Kampf" or hawking artifacts connected to the Third Reich. For a rational member of society to speak well of the tyrant in public is to create an outrage. One person who famously did so toward the end of her life was Winifred Wagner, wife of Richard Wagner's son Siegfried, who had a very close friendship with Hitler, or, as her family referred to him, "Uncle Wolf." Winifred Wagner claimed to despise Hitler's politics and treatment of the Jews, and saved the lives of various prominent Jewish people through her sway over the chancellor, but she defended her personal relationship with Hitler until as late as 1975, in a controversial five-hour interview she gave to German film director Hans-Jürgen Syberberg.

We must not do to tyrants what they do to us. Create a false speciation of their prey. That is make their targets less than human. Keeping these people from being human does the same thing. Hides part of the problem and reason they obtained and maintained their power for so long. We are all humans both good and evil. That must be acknowledged if we are to stop it from happening again.
I do find it curious that Hitler was made the metanym of evil and not Stalin who enslaved and tortured and murdered many more people and lived quite a bit longer in his role and the Man of Steel in Russia. I guess some dictatorships are just boring to see. No colorful uniforms and strange symbols and occultic talk of ubermensch among the totalitarian Bolshivecks.
