NEW YORK -- That Hector Torres owns a pizza shop is ordinary news in New York City. But a look into his past proves that life before pizza was anything but ho-hum.
According to a story published in the New York Daily News, Torres is the former de facto leader of the city's Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation, a violent gang with hundreds of members.
Torres recently sank all he had into the Box Office Pizza and video shop in Washington Heights. The change of life, said the 42-year-old, "has been liberating, to say the very least."
Torres distanced himself from the gang to bring hope to young customers and a positive change to the community. A row of school books lines the counter of the shop, and when school lets out each day, the place fills with children who come to eat, help in the store and be tutored by Torres and his wife.
He said the kids come with questions about life, spirituality, education and current events, such as the war in Afghanistan.
Others come to learn more about Torres' life as a gang leader in hopes of emulating him; with those he works hard to change their focus.
Sixteen-year-old Aramis Gomez was one such kid Torres counseled. After his first talk with Gomez, the teen wasn't convinced Torres was right about avoiding gang life, and he still wanted to join the Latin Kings.
Over time, however, Torres won him over, and now Gomez plans to take his general equivalency diploma exam next month.

yea i agree withh what's mostly been said
it's cool, good job on it!
Hey thanks for the valuable information.
And thanks for the quick reply.
This is for nothing, I just want to make more unique and powerful explosion sounds than just pulling the sounds from librarys.
Does anyone else have any techniques or ideas.
Feel welcome Nadal!
well I'd guess an explosion is made of several parts
the initial ignition or attack part - if you want aggressive then I guess you should start thinking physco-acoustically - a snarl of a dog - a snakes hiss as it strikes..
the rumble - try random things slowed down- part of a train pass - a lion roar - of course the easiest way would be to put it into a sampler - I think reason is a terrific sound design tool - put any sound into sampler - slow it down add distortion...
Get a keybpard with faders on it - whisk them in real time - the idea is to make dramatic changes - use pieces of those...
Explosions can be big - so they will have an echo component - I was walking around berlin in my heels and it's amazing how clear the reverb can be just from shoes! -imagine the echo if a bomb was dropped - Have you ever seen a fireworks display?
the final part would be debris... is this is how you control perspective?
what is this for?
Ok, so was this the last competition?
When will the next one be ?
Just wondering here...did EMU pay ARP, Moog, Yamaha or Sequential Circuits when they released their synth sample libraries? My guess is that if you own a musical instrument you own every note it makes.Quite not true.
Buying the instrument gives you the right to use the sounds in a composition (and sell it), it does not give you the right to sell the samples again.
Sometimes the easiest way to thinking about releasing something in freesound is thinking about: "could I legally sell this?". If the answer is yes, you can most likely release it under CC as well.
Try selling Korg Triton preset samples on a sample CD and see what happens.
- bram
I agree with bram on this one
Well "dépaneurs" around my neighborhood ( Don't know how to call them, some kind of 7-11, convenience stores, maybe) often play classical music on the front of the store to shoo off gatherings of teenagers just hanging there or waiting for someone to buy them alcohol. This is not taking in the fact that SOME teenagers (me) do like classical , but it's a better solution than playing a loud and very unpleasant sound that leaves your ears numb.
Hey, would anyone know of a good sounding harp keyboard on this site? I think I could find great use out of it. Thanks.
Hello everyone, I'd like to start a discussion on explosion sounds.
They fasinate me because some are very unique. And I have a question, what goes into making a good explosion sound?
I know you start with the basic boring pop sound. Then what would you add next to sweeten the sound?
Does anybody know any good techniques on creating unique explosion sounds?
Or any good effects to add to the sound (obliviously low end, EQ) but what else?
Or has anyone read anything on making good explosion sounds.
Links would be helpful to read. And i just want to clarify I want to know how to make explosion sounds, not find them. A speedy response will be helpful.
and i am doing this dare. now. be ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LGSo - let's do some provocation here - how would you solve this issue in a different way?
(see, I like to play the devil's advocate! )
The way I see it, agreeing on how we do NOT want to solve problems of coexistence is as important as getting effective solutions... a consensus should be achieved in that attacks to age groups taking advantage of their vulnerability (ability, in this case) is not fair play. Otherwise, the door is open to every type of selective discrimination in the future. For example, I can imagine a scenario in wich old people are kept away from, say, stores aimed at youngsters... by setting up barriers to persons with low mobility or otherwise handicaped !! Crazy, isn't ?? But possible.
So even though I tend to sympathize with past -prime guys (yeah, really hate these teenage cars with loud subwoofers), bugging youngsters with the Mosquito is not a solution and opens a dangerous way to confrontation.
What to do, then? Well, maybe nothing... Or the mosquito sound at stores could be replaced with any of the great samples at Freesound (crickets?) Yes, perhaps this is useless as regards annoying teenagers, but at least the store would provide a nice ambience which can be appreciated by all customers
Okay - have checked out with a hearing specialist here in London and she is categorical that these Mosquito Device frequencies will cause no harm to hearing. (It's low frequencies that harm hearing as discussed in the forum.)
It doesn't make it any less an insipid thing. But it does mean it's not making kids deaf. Thank goodness.
Now - I really want to try and bring attention to how easy it's been for people to use sound as a weapon in a public space. I'm talking to a few people here in London and it would be really great to know where else they are.
Thanks for all the posts so far.
I understand that ERH and I don't consider myself an advocate of those devices but I tried to point out that the 'public' dimension of the public space is relative. The places I talked about where not considered public for the majority of people passing - even though it concerns metro stations and town squares. They were public to a limited group of people, i.e. the young people we talked about. Now the balance has shifted in favour of those people who were afraid to visit those places. This means limiting the access for young people.
The main question is indeed whether the means suit the end. It is draconian. It may very well lead to a downward spiral, an arms race and that would make things much worse. But this is how most people like it! The immediate (short-term) effect is that these places become 'public' again. There was a report on Dutch television yesterday about the application of the mosquito in Utrecht (Kanaaleiland) and respondents were very satisfied. Of course, no one asked the teenagers. Policy makers like this: easy to realise, instant success! The alternative is muddling through without clear and favourable results - even though 'favourable' is relative...
So - let's do some provocation here - how would you solve this issue in a different way?
(see, I like to play the devil's advocate! )
i'll upload some dnb bass sounds and some leads this weekend
hey im lookin for a pack of dnb samples... am i searchin wrong cos there isnt alot on this website is there..
njoyed it
D'oh. Fixed it now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snS9zDA5Tt8
haha walked right into that one guess!
alright cool, i see the issue, and appreciate your input
and.... the url is?

The House GOP 'Pledge to America'
Here is my Reuters Breakingviews columntorial (half column, half editorial) Â on the agenda from House Republicans:
America's so-called "party of no" has finally revealed what it will say "yes" to. Yet a new Republican manifesto offers little more than undoing President Barack Obama's reforms to date, with vague talk of balanced budgets. Maybe that's smart politics. But it's a missed opportunity.
If you're winning late in the game, it is reckless to pull the goalie and put him on the attack. So with congressional midterm elections just weeks away and polls going the Republicans' way, the cautious nature of the ideas in the 21-page document from the party's House leaders is perhaps unsurprising. As the saying goes, if you want to do policy, you have to first do politics. And the main objective of the GOP's "Pledge to America" is to counter Democratic claims that Republicans are mere obstructionists.
The document does contain a smattering of worthwhile items, particularly on restraining government spending. Republicans want to cut non-defense spending, excluding mandatory social insurance spending, to where it was in 2008. That would save about $100 billion a year. Over ten years, adjusted for inflation, that would only knock off 10 percent or so from the $9.8 trillion in additional debt the United States will accumulate over that period, by Congressional Budget Office estimates. But it's a start, as is the idea of hard caps on discretionary spending, though specifics are unfortunately lacking. And freezing the hiring of new federal workers would set a good austerity example for state and local governments.
But it's difficult to take seriously any policy agenda that doesn't lay out at least a broad plan for much deeper fiscal reform. Paul Ryan, the Republican who would head the House budget committee if the GOP retakes the lower chamber, has a detailed roadmap for restructuring entitlements. But party leaders chose to ignore it. And it's odd that Republican leaders seem to want to extend all the Bush-era tax cuts even if it means keeping in place a clunky code than penalizes savings and rewards debt.
Sure, the Republicans don't want to give Democrats fodder for negative advertising. But this manifesto could have begun making the public case for the GOP's vision of the big budgetary changes America needs. That didn't happen. America's long-term economic and fiscal woes call for bolder leadership.
We welcome comments that advance the story through relevant opinion, anecdotes, links and data. If you see a comment that you believe is irrelevant or inappropriate, you can flag it to our editors by using the report abuse links. Views expressed in the comments do not represent those of Reuters. For more information on our comment policy, see http://blogs.reuters.com/fulldisclosure/2010/09/27/toward-a-more-thoughtful-conversation-on-stories/
You are expecting too much from a leaderless congressional minority. A truly positive agenda for America will emerge in 2011-2012 as Republicans jockey for leadership in the Presidential race. Which party will take the necessary steps to get America back on track? The electorate is repudiating the Democrats. It is too soon for the Republicans to address long range issues except in a speculative and individual way. Once the Republicans have demonstrated their worthiness to lead the country through this recession, they can make a play to lead us through the impending entitlements crisis.

Vacation Apartment in Roth bei Nürnberg - 646 sqft, charming, nice, quiet (# 1648)
Roth, Bavaria, Germany
What's Nearby:
Additional Location Information
A Special Apartment:
These apartments are perfect for anyone looking to be in rural surroundings but close by Nuremberg (reachable in 20 minutes). The location is also central; Munich is 160 km away, Würzburg 100 km, Rothenburg 40 km, Nuremberg 25 km. The apartment's owner, who is city guide for Nuremberg, also offers tours through town, in English or German.
The guest house is quiet and peacefully situated near the forest just outside Eichelburg, in the midst of the Franconian Lakes recreation area. The two available apartments are on the ground floor.
The house is also about 1 km away from the Rothsee lake. It is surrounded by an extensive (1200 m²) green plot of land, a wonderful area for play and relaxation.
Further afield, hikers and cyclist will enjoy the more than 500 km of trails.
Special Features:
The two units are ideal for families because of their child-friendly design and cribs, highchairs, toys, and even a table tennis-table are available.
The house is decorated in rustic style and inhabited by the vacationers alone. Each unit has a patio and car parking in the courtyard.
Enjoy the Franconian lake district, which offers something for everyone: more than 500 km of bike and hiking trails, as well as a Nordic Walking park with night routes, for the active ones. Sailing and surfing on the child-friendly Rothsee lake; tennis courts and beach volleyball.
Summer toboggan runs and mini golf are popular; one can also go horseback riding, visit spas or undertake such more unusual activities as ballooning.
Friends of culture activities also find enough to do, not least in the historic towns Allersberg or Hilpoltstein, which stages a castle festival each first weekend in August. Roth is less old, but offers special hiking trails such as the mill path.
There are many popular destinations in the wider surroundings, e.g. Nuremberg with its many sights such as the castle, dungeons, and more, to which I can guide you myself. Not to forget about the many museums…
Many opportunities for shopping await you as well, and there are regular events such as the old town festival or the bard's meeting.
The Nuremberg fair can be reached by car in 20 minutes (on the autobahn)!
A trip to the Playmobil FunPark in Zirndorf is a fun event for families with children!
Weissenburg contains Roman remains of renown, among them old spas and remains of the border fortification, the Limes.
Boat tours on the Brombachsee, e.g. on the MS Brombachsee, the largest three-hulled boat on a reservoir lake in Europe, are more relaxing activities.
How to Get Here:
You can, for example, get to our vacation apartments in Eichelburg
* on the A9 Nuremberg-Munich, getting off at exit 55 Allersberg towards Roth, taking the first left after the roundabout, then taking a right towards Eichelburg in Heubühl,
* on the A6, at exit 57 (Roth) onto the B2 towards Weissenburg; in Roth towards Allersberg, first right behind the Main-Danube-canal.
Paintweg 4, 91154 Roth- Eichelburg

Last week at the C7 Corvette Stingray Media Drive event in Monterey, Chevy had an autocross course set up on a concrete tarmac just behind the airplane hanger where the entire event was staged. Three Corvettes, all 7-speed Z51 cars, were on the track. I chose the Torch Red Stingray (because everyone knows that red Corvettes are the fastest).
Corvette Racing opted to show off the next generation racer based on the C7 Corvette Stingray with two very public laps during the Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca on Saturday afternoon. With Corvette Racing driver Tommy Milner at the controls, the Stingray took to the track and the feedback we're hearing online is that the crowd was very shocked and surprised to see the camouflaged vinyl-wrapped race car in the flesh for the very first time.
Second and third for Compuware Corvettes; Gavin and Milner regain drivers' title lead
CORVETTE RACING AT ROAD AMERICA: A Pair of Podium Finishes
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (Aug. 11, 2013) – Corvette Racing scored two podium finishes Sunday at Road America in the Orion Energy Systems 245. The No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R of Antonio Garcia and Jan Magnussen placed second in the sixth round of the American Le Mans Series. Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner, driving the No. 4 Compuware Corvette, finished third.
Garcia qualifies second in No. 3 Compuware Corvette; Gavin fourth in No. 4 entry
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (Aug. 10, 2013) – Corvette Racing's two Compuware Corvette C6.Rs qualified second and fourth in class Saturday for the Orion Energy Systems 245 at Road America. That means the two velocity yellow Corvettes will roll off the grid one behind the other for Sunday's sixth round of the American Le Mans Series. Antonio Garcia was second-quickest in the GT class with a 2:04.212 in the No. 3 Corvette he shares with Jan Magnussen.
Compuware Corvettes come to Elkhart Lake in thick of ALMS GT championships
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (Aug. 6, 2013) – For more than 50 years, Road America has come to define the quintessential American road racing circuit. Likewise, the Chevrolet Corvette has been America's sports car for 60 years. This weekend, Corvette Racing serves as the bridge that once again reunites the two icons for the Orion Energy 245 – the sixth round of the 2013 American Le Mans Series. The team enters its two velocity yellow Compuware Corvette C6.Rs in the two-hour, 45-minute race.
Oh, the glorious sound of the 2014 Corvette Stingray's exhaust note. Watch this lap of the Milford Proving Grounds in an Arctic White Corvette Stingray by Autoweek Magazine.

It's time for Throwback Thursday where we feature vintage photos of Corvettes. Today's subject is a one near and dear to our hearts – taking your Corvette racing!
We're seeing nothing older than a 1965 Corvette in the picture and if you look right in the middle of the photograph, it appears there is one and perhaps two black 1963 Fuel Injected Sting Ray Coupes.
It appeared that the 2013 Concours d'Elegance of America at St. John's was going to be rained out on Sunday when Saturday's storms prevented much of the event set up. Though rain was forecast, after only a brief shower the 374 exhibitors rushed to get their cars displayed on the beautiful but wet fairways of the golf course. Though the temperatures were unusually cool, the rain held off except for a short sprinkle around noon and the wet weather didn't seem to dampen the spirits of the car owners or the 10,000 enthusiasts who braved the threatening skies and to view some of the finest cars in the country.
Check out this in-depth interview on Trackdown on Shakedown with the always well-spoken Corvette Racing Program Manager Doug Fehan, who discusses with his old friend Leo Parente a wide range of subjects, including the 2014 United Sports Car Racing (USCR) series racing at Le Mans, Corvette marketing, and the ingredients for a successful Corvette Racing driver.
Paul Plemenos and his 2006 Corvette Z06 readies for national championship in Utah
If you want proof of the value of schooling, then you might want to talk to Paul Plemenos.
Six years ago, at the age of 38, he bought a stock 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and, despite having no formal racing experience, decided he wanted to race his new sports car.
That's when he decided to learn from the pros, taking his Z06 to the Bondurant School of High-Performance Driving in Phoenix, Ariz., where he took to racing immediately.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Ladd has skills he could add to Canada
Being 50-goal man isn't everything
CALGARY -- Team Canada GM Steve Yzerman says there are no long shots with this group but, of course, there are and Andrew Ladd is one of them.
The Winnipeg Jets captain and one of the NHL's most underrated players is considered by many to be a second-tier player slotted into a first-tier role on a bad team.
On the surface the premise holds water, as Ladd skates on the top line of a non-playoff team. But the premise breaks down for one reason: Ladd is not second-rate.
Maybe he doesn't have a skill that stands out, such as blinding speed or elite ice vision, but he puts all his tools together for a rare complete package.
There is no team in the NHL that wouldn't want Andrew Ladd; his versatility makes him invaluable.
"When you're building a national team there are different roles and the conversations with the coaching staff have been all about building a team," said Team Canada coaching consultant Ralph Krueger. "The 14 forwards all have to have character. Andrew might not be seen as a top six guy but Andrew understands the 200-foot game and his understanding of winning is key. Every game here is a Game 7 and when you have a player with two Stanley Cups, he understands that part of the game. Andrew is in the mix."
Ladd need only look around to realize he's not in the upper crust of this group in terms of scoring. But the quiet confidence that underpins everything Ladd has achieved as a hockey player bubbles over a bit when that fact is pushed in his direction.
"They're not looking for just goals and assists and points. That's one thing I've done pretty well in my career and that's play the right way. If the puck isn't going in that's OK. It can work the other way too. Sometimes you're not playing very well and the puck is going in, but I think I'm pretty good at knowing I have to stick to the basics," he said.
"I think I skate well enough. It hasn't been a problem for me at world championships. I've played different roles there too, from a checker to a top-six forward. I don't think I've struggled at all. I'll get there."
Krueger adds the larger ice surface used at this Olympics will provide difficulties for some players, but not Ladd.
"You have to be very good positionally and an above average skater, which Andrew is," said Krueger, who has been tasked with figuring out a way to translate the Canadian team's strengths into success on the big ice. "You have to understand the angles and he's very good at that. He's been schooled very well."
Getting off to a strong start this season is pivotal. Ladd will have to score goals to keep his name in the conversation but he can't stray from the foundation his game is built upon.
"Skating and checking for me are key. When I'm doing that I'm on the body and on the puck. If I don't do that I'm not playing my best hockey," said Ladd, who potted 18 goals last season and has 75 over the last three campaigns. "The only negative effect it can have is if you start thinking you're better than you are and you start playing the wrong way. For me, my game starts with checking and the offence comes from that. My game is skating and checking and after you get the puck you have some freedom to try and make plays."
Ladd paid close attention to the rash of contracts Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff was able to complete this summer, including those of linemates Blake Wheeler and Bryan Little. The suggestion was made to him on Tuesday that Cheveldayoff had done his part and now the players must do theirs and develop into a consistent winner.
"Yep, for sure. First of all those guys deserve that. They've been a very important part of our team and if they weren't part of our team going forward there would have been some big holes to fill," said Ladd. "As a group we have to be ready to take the next step."
Ladd said he'd be leaving Calgary and making his way back to Winnipeg to begin final preparations for the regular season. Putting a winning Jets team on the ice is one goal, but making the Olympic team will also be on one of his front burners.
"I'll really only be happy if I get named to the final roster. It's nice to be here but the goal is to be in Sochi. That's the only thing that will make me happy," said Ladd.
The 27-year-old also sees some benefit to having himself and a number of teammates trying to make Olympic rosters.
"We've got a lot of guys on the U.S. side (four) that will be looking to make an impression with a good start and be in contention to make that team. If we can do it as a group and have success with our team, that's good for everyone," he said.
Good for everyone, and maybe most importantly, good for Jets fans.

text: Water wave kinematics of steep irregular waves — systematic perturbation approach, empirical law, PIV measurements and engineering practice Karsten Trulsen, Atle Jensen & John Grue Mechanics Division, Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo, Norway The kinematics of steep irregular waves is an important topic of continuing interest for the offshore industry. One of the challenges is how to deal with con- tinuous design spectra with decay ω −4 or ω −5 , for which second- or higher-order terms in traditional engineering approaches may diverge near the equilibrium water surface unless an (arbitrary) high-frequency cutoff is employed. In these cases, common practice is often to employ the method of Wheeler stretching, which is not based on rigorous hydrodynamic theory. o A systematic perturbation approach, called the nonlinear Schr¨dinger method, has been derived using the strategy that the peak of the spectrum is accounted for as mainly free waves, and that all bound waves arising from the free waves near the peak are accounted for as well. The method was reported by Trulsen (1999) for second-order nonlinear waves on deep water, and by Trulsen, Gudmes- tad & Velarde (2001) for second-order nonlinear waves on finite depth. The method is now being expanded to third-order nonlinear waves. Second-order o o nonlinear Schr¨dinger kinematics corresponds to the cubic nonlinear Schr¨dinger o equation for spatiotemporal evolution, while third-order Sch¨dinger kinematics o corresponds to the modified nonlinear Schr¨dinger equation of Dysthe (1979). For the first time, this method is now validated with the precise measurements of Grue et al. (2003) obtained by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) near the peaks of steep irregular waves. Third-order kinematics gives excellent comparisons with the experiments, and it turns out that non-local contributions at the third order are important for the successful computation of the fluid velocity field. The kinematics of extreme waves in deep water was recently analyzed by Grue et al. (2003). They discovered that after proper normalization, the kinematics profiles under a variety of extreme wave crests fitted surprisingly well with a uni- versal exponential profile ekz , where z is the vertical coordinate and k is a local wavenumber. The key to the successful collapse of data demonstrated by Grue et al. (2003) was to use the local trough-to-trough "wave period" as basis for nor- malization at the crest to be considered. Furthermore, the local wavenumber and steepness had to be determined by careful use of third-order nonlinear formulas for Stokes waves. We show that the method of Grue et al. (2003) may be considered as a limiting o case of the nonlinear Schr¨dinger kinematics method for deep water (Trulsen 1999) in the limit that the length of the computational domain is exactly one local trough-to-trough wave period, and provided the perturbation expansion of Trulsen (1999) is extended to the next order of nonlinearity with respect to local nonlinear effects only, excluding non-local effects and finite bandwidth effects. 1 o Thereby, the nonlinear Schr¨dinger perturbation method explains analytically why the measured velocity profiles fit so well with the universal exponential profile ekz in deep water. o The main contribution of the nonlinear Schr¨dinger method beyond the uni- versal kinematics profile of Grue et al. (2003) is to include the non-local effect of the induced current under modulated wave groups. Under an extreme wave, this current is typically a return flow. A typical comparison between the method of Grue et al. (2003), the nonlinear o Schr¨dinger method at the first three orders, common engineering practice using the Wheeler stretching method, and PIV measurements for the horizontal velocity field under an extreme crest, is shown in figure 1. o In figure 1 the Wheeler stretching kinematics and the nonlinear Schr¨dinger kinematics are obtained using an extract of the measured time series comprising approximately 88 peak periods centered around the extreme crest. The overall ¯ steepness for the time series is estimated to be kc a ≈ 0.13, significantly less than the local steepness estimated for the extreme wave event. The normalization is determined considering only the local trough-to-trough period, which is also the basis for the universal exponential profile. The three Wheeler stretching profiles are obtained using cutoff frequencies of, respectively, three, four and five peak frequencies. o The Schr¨dinger kinematics discussed here employs the standard scaling that bandwidth is comparable to steepness, corresponding to the work of Dysthe o (1979). The Schr¨dinger profiles at the first two orders are slightly different due to the fact that the time of the true extreme crest was estimated to be between two experimental measurement times, thus the time derivative of the wave enve- lope at the experimental measurement time chosen for computation is non-zero. Computation at the time of the true extreme crest would have yielded identical o o Schr¨dinger profiles at the first two orders. The third-order Schr¨dinger profile also includes the induced current under the modulated group, which is seen to be important to achieve the correct tilt of the velocity profile in the crest region. This work was conducted under the Strategic University Programme "Mod- elling of currents and waves for sea structures (WACS)" funded by the Research Council of Norway, with additional support from Statoil.

The poem is to be written by itself: Like life looking for the trembling instant of luminescent lucidity; Like lovable faces and the old lullaby ... Like logarithms in a looking-glass of the same fable. Like the old loom bringing us common recollections; This February like a loop-hole in the winter`s wall Is ready to give us the space where you paint the other seasons. Facetious,facile fag running in the fair falters an old truth About this famine of poetry whose fan you and me still are. Fastidious February in a fashionable far-fetched fatigue Ready to find fault with somebody else...

X-treme Microbes — Text-only | Flash Special Report Amazing Survivors Overview Extremophiles are organisms capable of living in conditions that would kill other life-forms, including intense cold, heat, pressure, dehydration, acidity/alkalinity and other chemical and physical extremes. A few animals, such as frogs that freeze solid in winter, can qualify. But in large part, the world's endurance champs are microbes: bacteria and archaea.
They're at home in some of the most forbidding pockets of the planet, where scientists are studying their survival mechanisms—and probing the outermost boundaries of life. (Click on each panel at left for specific information.)
Photo: DRY LIFE Life can't exist without any water. But research is showing how shockingly little is necessary. Even in the planet's driest places—such as the Atacama high desert in Chile or the Dry Valleys in Antarctica—scientists have found that microbes can set up shop a few inches below the surface. In such circumstances, certain extremophiles have evolved novel biochemistry with functions that compensate in some respects for lack of water. Investigators are studying the DNA of these survivors to determine which genes contribute to the cells' abilities.
Other organisms found in Atacama and elsewhere can enter a seemingly lifeless, freeze-dried state, reviving only if and when some water appears. In the ultra-arid Dry Valleys, for example, researchers recently discovered that a mat of cells that had been dormant for two decades began photosynthesis within a day of exposure to liquid water. And a few marvelous microbes, tested in experiments on the space shuttle, have even survived the vacuum and radiation bombardment of empty space. Credit: Julio L. Betancourt, U.S. Geological Survey
Photo: COLD LIFE Lots of creatures can live in the cold. But it takes special talents for cells to survive at the South Pole, where temperatures often drop below -100 F. Yet that's where scientists found a certain kind of bacteria that can get through the polar winter and have active metabolisms in surroundings as cold as 1.4 F.
That's just one of many creatures specially adapted to extremely frigid venues. Researchers uncovered microbes in an ice core extracted from just above Lake Vostok, an ancient body of water buried thousands of feet below the Antarctic ice surface. At the other end of the Earth, extreme-tolerant organisms have shown up in the permafrost of northern Alaska.
Laboratory studies have shown that many cold-surviving life-forms (collectively known as psychrophiles) have remarkable cellular ingredients that prevent the formation of ice crystals. Others have evolved a talent for huddling together into mats called biofilms. Many can't live at all above 50 F. It's just too hot. Credit: A. Chiuchiolo
Photo: VENT LIFE Miles below the ocean surface on the lightless seafloor, giant cracks in the Earth's crust create sites where mineral-dense water—heated to 600 F—spews forth in roiling clouds. It's as forbidding an environment as one could imagine. Yet scientists have found hosts of organisms that have learned to thrive there.
In those circumstances, of course, photosynthesis simply isn't possible. But certain kinds of single-celled archaea have developed a unique alternative called chemosynthesis: a means of converting inorganic hydrogen sulfide dissolved from rocks into food. Archaea living on or under the seafloor make up vast microbial mats and other configurations that provide the foundation for a bizarre and abundant community of towering tube worms, gigantic clams and mussels, and strange fish and crabs that can withstand the titanic pressure and utter dark.

In Yellowstone National Park, for example, researchers took water samples and found organisms fully adapted to extremely hot acidic conditions. In California, other scientists studying the contents of mine drainage revealed incredibly tiny microbes living comfortably at a pH level as low as 0.5—the equivalent of battery acid.
Lab studies of both acidophiles and alkalophiles continue to show the remarkable—and often unexpected—range of conditions to which life can adapt. Credit: David Stahl, Northwestern University

If you
have any questions, you can email us at Welcome to our website. Most of our documents are in PDF format, thus require the latest Acrobat Reader (http://get.adobe.com/reader/). Remember, all our pulls are open to the public and there are no admission or parking fees for spectators or participants. Hook fees for pullers are $10.00/hook for members and $13.00/hook for non-members. Two hooks per tractor. Latest Information: 1/22/15: During this meeting, the board decided that no increases in membership fees or hook fees are needed. The club meeting has also been scheduled for Sunday, February 15th, 2:00 PM at the Washington County Fairground's 4H Building. The main topic of discussion will be the rules for 2015 & 2016. A newsletter will be sent shortly to members announcing this meeting as well as providing this years schedule and membership renewal form. All attendees to our tractor pulls need to enter the gate shown below. There is a orange sign with a tractor on it attach to the fence near this gate. When you get ready to cross the race track, STOP and look for horses running the track. The horses have the right of way! Note that if you see a horse running counter-clockwise on the race track, that horse is probably at race speed and is going fast. Horses going clockwise on the race track are being jogged at a slower pace. Also note that driving along the track is prohibited.
FACEBOOK Page Our
club now has a Facebook page. To find our Facebook page, do a search on
"Washington & Greene County Antique Tractor Association". This is a great forum for everyone to share pictures, talk about the pulls and get updates for the upcoming events.

That way we could stay on the "official route" without this risk having to throw the pearls into the bin later. And perhaps some of the solutions here will make it for others, too. Thx for all your efforts, y'all! I think it's worth keeping this blog up & running. As soon as we come up with something, I'll update the build log and my software packages for others... |

URA, after trying to get my memory back to 2nd grade mathematics I got the camera stabilization working !!!!!!!!!!! in X mode on Alpha code Code:
APM_RC.OutputCh(4, ch_aux3+(roll-pitch)*1000); //Tilt correction APM_RC.OutputCh(5, 1500+(roll+pitch)*1000); //Roll correction if you don't have spare channel on the radio, just set tilt for the camera (1000-2000) instead of aux_3. for the radio controlling tilt: after line: ch_aux2 = APM_RC.InputCh(5) * ch_aux2_slope + ch_aux2_offset; add: ch_aux3 = APM_RC.InputCh(6); and in ArduCopter.h add Code:

AC spins
I am watching this thread every day and it is nice to see the progress of u all.
Finally i got mine replacement parts after a few months. I am running the AC Alpha RC1 code and tried to take off, but all it does is spin like crazy regardless the mode (green APM led fast/slow blink). Noticed too that when the stick returns from full yaw left/right to neutral position, the motors do not return to neutral
Is the orientation of the DIYdrones compass wrong? That is, the x-axis is inline with front arm. |

did you tested it without the magneto ? dose Yaw spins in the configurator too, you can see it in AH. or try APM_compass_test. my compass go crazy in all the tests, never tried to fly it tho... so may be its a bug in alpha |

I struggled with the same problem and I finally resolved i, so maybe I will share my experience. Seems you have the Gyro Z problem. Apparently the chip is not well soldered and you get the AC trying to compensate switching off two motors. 1. You can be sure of that is you open the configurator: what is the value of the Gyro Yaw in the FlightData --> Sensor indicators? If it's different form -1,0 or 1 then you will have problems flying it. 2. But then, if you have the value sitting still on 0, -1 or 1 even if you are moving the board (the sensor is very sensible so in any direction you are moving it you will see the indicator moving) then you will still have problems flying 'cause the copter is not able to understand what is going on... 3. In my case, if I touched slightly the Gyro Z chip, values started going crazy so I supposed it was a soldering problem My Solution: Reflow Soldering Disclaimer: This is what i did after days of struggling and trying to debug the board. Be aware tha this method could ruin your board if you are not carefull, so I take no responsability for any damage you get .But I assure if you do it correctly it will work... at least it did for me.... and I am a totally newbe in the soldering, building, flying business!!! 1. Look on youtube, google and internet sites for some tutorials. 2. Cover your board with alluminium foil and just leave the chip uncovered. Better if you put a few layers of foil. 3. Get a hot air gun and point it at the chip for some seconds. Can't tell how many, but don't overheat ! Try this procedure on a piece of soldering wire to see how much it takes to melt... remember that the soldering points an the chip are very SMALL and they probably won't take that much to melt. 4. leave everything to cool down and try your configurator. If your Gyro moves with the board, you shuold be OK... Hope this works... BTW: This week end I flownfor the first time my AC and was amazed on how stable it is, and how EASY it is to fly compared to the GAUI!!!!!!!!!!!!! So keep up the good work!! And a special thanks to Norbert!: If it wasn't for your biulding log I would never throw myself in this project!! Hehehe My Set-up - GAUI 330X Frame orignal and glued in many parts! - AC with SVN software release 716 (last available on Saturday) - PID no change to the original ones - 4 Turnigy Plush 30A - 4 KDA 20-22L - 4 standard GAUI props 8x3.8 (yeah I know.... ) |

DOBUTAMINE STRESS ECHO (DSE)A Dobutamine Stress Echo is a test to evaluate coronary artery disease in patients who are unable to exercise on a treadmill. Dobutamine is a medication that increases heart rate and blood pressure similar to the effect of exercise. The rise in heart rate increases the oxygen demand of the heart and helps to determine if the heart muscle is getting enough blood and oxygen.An IV line will be started and Dobutamine will be administered by the RN. The test includes an echocardiogram done at rest and again at peak heart rate. This procedure uses sound waves (ultrasound) to produce an image of internal structures of the heart. In order to produce an image of the heart muscle, gel is applied to your chest area and a transducer (a wand-like apparatus) is moved over the chest. Electrodes are placed on the chest to record an electrocardiogram (EKG) which monitors the heart's rate and rhythm.The cardiologist will observe for any symptoms, irregular heart rhythms, and inappropriate heart rate of blood pressure responses. This test will help the cardiologist evaluate your cardiac condition related to the following:

The good news is the CLWR pre-qtr call (never a good thing) announced better than predicted better sub numbers than projected. Those are Sprint subs upgrading to 4g. Just a small thing, but heading in the right direction. For Sprint that is, and for now that is.

PoweriSite will keep your USB devices going far away from home. Take it when camping to charge your Phone, or Flashlight. Your stuff will also charge fast with plenty of power (3.1amps total). That's enough for an iPhone and iPad at the same time.
