It's time for a DiSCO on the show floor.
Organizers of the annual Integrated Systems Europe trade show are now paying even more attention to the spread of digital signage and digital out-of-home across Europe. Integrated Systems Events this year is unveiling DiSCO – the Digital Signage Conference on the eve of ISE 2011 in Amsterdam.
And there will be plenty of digital signage on the ISE show floor once ISE 2011 starts, as well.
DiSCO is a joint venture between ISE, digital signage-industry partner Invidis Consulting and the trade association OVAB (Out-of-home Video Advertising Bureau) Europe, and will offer two parallel presentation tracks on Jan. 31.
Track 1, the Business & Strategy Track, will run from 8 a.m.-6:30 p.m. and feature presentations on topics ranging from interactivity to content syndication to mobile technology. This track is aimed at C-level industry professionals and thought leaders from the whole digital signage value chain.
Track 2, the Case Study Track, will run from 1-6 p.m. and is focused on delivering real-world examples of how digital signage can be successfully implemented in a variety of applications, from transport and hospitality to corporate environments. This track is aimed at AV systems integrators looking to expand their offering to include digital signage, and will be followed, on the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 1, by a guided tour of signage products at ISE 2011.
A two-track pricing structure will give delegates the chance to register for Track 2 only at a reduced price, while those who have registered for Track 1 can "switch tracks" at times of their own choosing throughout the afternoon of the conference. Admission to ISE 2011 will be free of charge to all delegates.
"After two years in which we have successfully established our DOOH Business Conference as the place where the whole digital advertising value chain comes together, we feel the time is right to broaden the scope of the event to embrace some of the new applications that are opening up opportunities for digital-signage manufacturers and integrators alike," Integrated Systems Events Managing Director Mike Blackman said in the announcement of the conference.
DiSCO – the Digital Signage Conference will take place on Monday, Jan. 31, at the Amsterdam RAI, Netherlands. Integrated Systems Europe 2011 will be held at the same venue from Feb. 1-3.
At the show itself, digital signage providers will be out in full force as well. Here are some highights:
Minicom Digital Signage will be launching its new solution family, ScreenGate, according to a recent announcement.
According to Minicom, the ScreenGate solution family includes the ScreenGate Management Gateway - which offers state of the art management capability, with Proof-of-Performance technology included - and ScreenGate IP Streaming solution - which offers IP streaming media delivery advantages.
Minicom DS also is co-organizing the DS Showcase with ISE and the Expert Tour with OVAB. In addition, the company is organizing a "happy hour" at 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 2 with a special session on "How to reduce your cost and manage your DS Network with MDS ScreenGate Solution," followed by aperitifs and drinks and a live demo of MDS' new ScreenGate Solution.
And Scala has announced that it will exhibit its latest release of Scala QuickStart that supports HP's new SignagePlayer at the show as well.
The new HP SignagePlayer/Scala QuickStart solution features a locked-down Microsoft Windows Embedded operating system and a preconfigured Scala Player. Displaying videos, pictures, crawls, interactive Adobe Flash, and Scala scripts with dynamic text or graphics in any combination up to 1080p allows the system to be used in a wide range of applications, the company said. The HP SignagePlayers can also be easily connected to any Scala Content Manager anywhere in the world.
Scala along with IAdea will introduce Bridge Server 2.5 at the show. The new platform enables new IAdea media appliances for use with Scala's Content Manager.
At ISE 2011, HP will provide all 33 screens used in both of Scala's stands, including HP's 42-inch digital signage touch screen and HP's latest screen development, the 47-inch LD4710 with bezels that are less than 18 mm wide.
Several of Scala's partners also will exhibit a range of digital signage technologies at Scala's booth at this year's event.
Mdina Media, an AMD embedded partner, will present three novelty products developed with AMD: Nvidia 9400M, which it says is the world's smallest nano player; 780E ATI, billed as the world's smallest fanless system; and the low-energy 9-watt and 18-watt AMD G-series with AMD Radeon HD 6000 graphics. The low power consumption products of Mdina comply with current green PC standards.
Mdina Media, who is providing all of the audio equipment in Scala's booth, will also demo its holosonic technology, which enhances digital signage by providing sound directly to the audience. According to Mdina , the holosonic speaker is the only "audio spotlight" system that focuses sound specifically to listeners, providing sound where it is wanted and quieting other areas. The SPL Computer automatically raises and lowers sound levels in response to changes in ambient noise conditions.
IAdea also will be showcasing its latest line of digital signboard products, along with its newest media appliances. The new digital signboards on display include XDS-245, a 24-inch display with integrated HD media player, and the XDS-104 next-gen 10-inch display (signboard) with built-in player, featuring touch buttons for interactive customer feedback collection at the point of engagement. The new XMP-340 full-HD media appliance with live audio/video overlay function will also be on display for the first time.
Nexcom will display its range of Scala-approved digital signage players. The NDiS Series incorporates solutions ranging from low-cost products aimed at single- and dual-screen deployments, right through to high-end platforms capable of supporting four independent displays and HD Video wall.
Also, iBASE Technology will exhibit its PC-based digital signage media players. These specially-designed slim players separate electronics from the heat sink to significantly reduce the height of the unit and provide higher reliability, according to the company.
MediaVue Systems will be showcasing its new SureVueD, the newest member of the SureVue family of digital signage player PCs. The SureVueD can output three simultaneous HD digital channels.
Additionally, Scala will display a PufferSphere M from Pufferfish at the booth. The PufferSphere M is a portable unit that projects images onto a 360-degree, spherical display.
Scala said it will also showcase the diverse uses of Scala 5 software, including transportation, hospitality, banking, recreation, entertainment, retail and professional services.
Taiwan-based CAYIN said recently that it will introduce in-depth digital signage integrations for different vertical markets at its booth at this year's show.
Among other capabilities, CAYIN's SMP-WEB series digital signage players can integrate with 3G and GPS technology to provide mobile and place-based solutions, allowing players installed in moving vehicles to play back content based on location, the company said. Administrators can also locate each player on Google Maps and instantly have an idea of overall connection status of all players.
AV solutions specialist distributor Maverick said it will be demonstrating the latest interactive technologies from Promethean at ISE this year. Promethean will be exhibiting at the show for the first time, and will demonstrate their next generation, multitouch interactive whiteboard.
The whiteboard brings the everyday technologies and tools familiar to users of iPhone, iPad and Windows 7 solutions into the classroom, according to Maverick. Designed to maximize the potential of new and emerging multitouch content and applications for education, the Promethean ActivBoard 500 Pro series is a large format interactive whiteboard that can be simultaneously operated by both pen and touch.
BrightSign has announced that it will be demonstrating for the first time its new turnkey tabletop digital signage solution, the BrightSign TD1012, at ISE. The solid-state tower is a freestanding, end-to-end digital signage solution that doesn't require a PC or any external power or wiring. The new BrightSign TD1012 portable tower will be available in Q2 2011.
Ready to use right out of the box, the BrightSign TD1012 features a steel enclosure with built-in features ranging from a replaceable/rechargeable battery that provides approximately 12 hours of battery life, to Wi-Fi capabilities and a 12.1-inch high-resolution screen. Users simply add their content for an instant digital sign that fits easily on a table, counter or desktop.
"We expect the new tower will be most appealing for retailers who want digital signage placed directly next to merchandise tables or at check-out counters to communicate sales and promotions," BrightSign CEO Jeff Hastings said. "Electrical outlets are typically scarce in retail, especially where merchandise is being sold, so the fact that our new product is battery operated gives retailers the flexibility they need to place the new signage product where it's most needed."
And Magenta Research recently announced that it will exhibit a new entry to the MultiView family alongside its Voyager fiber optic signal distribution platform and its HD-One series of products.
The new MultiView DVI delivers 1920x1200 resolution single link DVI-D video 1,200 feet (366 metres) over standard UTP cable, according to Magenta. MultiView DVI receivers are "daisy-chainable" and capable of outputting DVI or RGBHV video, giving system integrators added flexibility. Serial and/or audio can also be delivered alongside video.
MultiView DVI is fully compatible with Magenta's Mondo Matrix III scalable UTP switch, which means that all new Mondo Matrix installations, as well as those already in the field, now support both digital and analog video signals within the same switch.
Magenta's Voyager Series is an interoperable set of transmitters, receivers, distribution amplifiers and matrix switchers, which uses a modular building block approach to enable any end-to-end configuration for extension and switching of uncompressed multi-format video and audio, RS-232, IR and 480 Mbps USB 2.0 signals over fiber at distances up to 16.75 miles or 30 kilometers.
Designed for high-quality single-UTP HDMI video and embedded audio extension, Magenta Research's HD-One DX delivers full 1080p uncompressed video to distances of 328 feet (100m). The product supports HDM 1.3, is fully HDCP compliant and will function flawlessly with Cat5e/6/6e/7 cable types.
HD-One LX is an HDMI extension product that utilizes a single Cat5e/6/6e/7 cable, and sends 1080p video 328ft/100m. HD-One LX is fully HDCP-compliant and capable of extending uncompressed 1080p video, audio, IR and bi-directional RS-232 to 328ft/100m, allowing commands and data to flow in both directions.
And finally, AV mounting and rack solutions provider Chief has announced that it will introduce a new, fully-automated swing arm wall mount, the PXRU, at ISE 2011
The new PXRU has an unparalleled range of smooth motion and is the first product of its kind that simultaneously tilts, pans and swings out, according to Chief. The new mount offers 686 mm (27 inches) of extension, 90-degrees of swivel and up to 12-degrees of tilt, along with a 68-kg (150-lb) weight capacity to support up to 65-inch flat-panel displays, Chief said.

i wanted to quote you sumthing i posted on a thread i made about a month ago... but the thread is no longer in the database...
Makes me wonder about the info itself.
im thinking twice about posting it.
related to Jfk and the moon landing and Agent Lh022.

go ahead and post it. i will screen it.

Mr, President.
Allow me to first extend my scincere congratulations in regards to your recently appointed position. It has been a long time comming and will no doubt benefit the both of us, our organisation as well as the United States of America.
As you are surely aware, there were a few unanticipated complications that arose in our recent directive. Our next steps foward actions must be carefully planned and executed to ensure prompt resolution to the matters at hand and implicitly show that we are indeed acting in good faith and attempting to provide restitution to our "friends" due to the unfortunate circumstances that have arisen fallowing the incident.
Our friends explicitly demanded the safe return of agent LHO22 (mr. Oswald) upon completition of his mission. This as you know, will not happen. The loss of a highly trained being such as agent LHO22 will undoubtedly appear to them as if it were a pre-planned event on our part, which i assure you it was not. We must convince them as such.
With that being said, the current situation is not completly cast in a negative light. The primal Goal of the mission as been completed. Any doubt that you might have had about your role in the JFK's campain for the upcoming election have been squelched. All inquiries as to your involvement in the criminal investigations we previously discussed will now disapper. You have my word on that, Mr, President. In addition, my needs were met with the conclusion of this mission. The black mailling in regards to my perssonal life is already a distant memory. For that, i am eternaly grateful to all parties involved, our friends and their gouverning body's desire were met. It is now not possible for John, nor his people, to disclose the new finding from the roswell incident. They will not be exposed, and they will be surely grateful for that. These are things we can and must now work off of.
Our next move, will be one of great magnitude, the wrong one could bring dire consequences to ourselves,our organisation, our nation, our planet. Speaking as a friend, Lyndon, i am overrought with woory.
please advise.
Scincerly J,Edgar,Hoover.
Now for the answer to that report!
From: Gen.Andrew Myerson
To: Lt.Gen.Robert B.Kieran 3
Importance: High
Dear Lt.Gen.Kieran.
Bob, i understand the report the frist time you threw it at my desk. How the hell do you expect me to "message" data like this?
You do know who my boss is, right? Maybe we should pull you out of the desert sun, buddy. Eight months ago, i had no idea the little gray bastards could communicate at all. Now you're trying to get me to accept that they had involvment in Dealey Plaza? That, they all got together and close their big creepy eyes and they just dreamed until the shooters all made pilgrimage to Dallas? Do you realise how this will go over? It was bad enough to think about Castro being involved... at least he's one of us!
I suggest you ask your little friend for a better story or you come up here to the Hill to present your little report yourself.

Our Grading SystemIn order to help customers make an informed decision we are providing our grading system. The list is not meant to be all inclusive but should still give a buyer an idea of what to expect.For any grade less than Superior, we will identify the imperfections we see. Please note the emphasis we put on the overall appearance of the item: someone writing their name on thecare tag has little impact on our grading scale because the tag is normally not visible when worn.
New with or Without Tags: The item has never been worn and we either it has the tags or we could verify its history at the time we purchased it for resale.
Like New: The item looks like it came right off the store shelf, but because we do not know the history we cannot list it as new.
Superior: The item has been lightly worn and well cared for. Typically, the colors have lost their newness but are still strong and bright. There may or may not be very fine fuzz.
Excellent: The item has clearly been worn but is still a high quality. Typically there is light fading, especially at the seams and collar. There may be minor or hard to see imperfections. If there is a decoration on the item (such as beads or sequins), it is intact or nearly intact. The amount of fuzz can vary by material (denim will not have any fuzz, acrylic will have substantial, most will have light to medium). There will usually be no pilling, but very light pilling may be allowed if the garment is otherwise a good quality.
Very Good: The item is beginning to show wear but still has a long life left to it. Typically, more pronounced fading exists. Holes or stains may be in obvious places but are small or faint. A noticeable amount of decoration is missing but the design is still clearly defined.Pilling may be present but usuallylimited tohigh friction areas. We may list these items at a lower price than similar but more highly graded items, depending on the degree of the imperfections.
Fair: The item has one significant defect, such as a rip, hole,stain,a distracting amount of decoration loss or significant pilling. It typically also has a significant fading of color. We only sell this gradeif we feel there is still a redeeming feature to the item and we always discount the price.
Poor and Worse: The item is only good for getting dirty in or for rags. We do not sell these grades.
Return PolicyWe have a no questions asked policy on returns. We will give you a full refund on your purchase and reimburse you for return shipping upon receipt of the returned item. We will limit the shipping reimbursement to the first class/parcel post rate (whichever is lower).

I have a loan out on my motorcycle for the next 4 years that I've been paying on for a year this September. Now I love my bike but I want to upgrade to a larger one (1000cc). What I have is a 2012 Yamaha FZ6r and I'm wanting a Aprilia RSV4. Ive been thinking of just trading it in as pretty much a down payment plus a little bit. The Aprilia is 14k and I have about 10k left on my bike now. Would it be wise to go ahead and sell it or trade it in or wait a until February/March time frame? I was planning on trading it in this winter if its a decent idea

Trading in is the most convenient but you'd probably get more for it selling it.
Real dogs drool!
you're going to take a huge (percentage wise) financial hit. Real important question to ask yourself, do you "need" the new bike?
Unless thus it's your primary means of transport, don't due it. Trade in suck, they don't give much, just because you can sell the bike for X doesn't mean they well give you that, secondly, I've seen where they don't actually pay off the first loan they just lower the cost of the new bike and tack on more interest.
Check the insurance on the big bike, it may be a deal breaker. You have a nice already and plenty fast enough. Are you going for more cool points with the buddies?
Remember the battle of Athens, TN! "Work as if you were to live 100 Years, Pray as if you were to die To-morrow." --Benjamin Franklin
You are under water as they say. A dealer has to be willing to pay off your existing loan if he trades for yours. If you do not understand the delima you are considering get some good financial advise.
It is a good feeling to be out of debt. The only reason I have a car payment is to keep something on the credit score. IMO, (with exception of buying a house) one should not take on debt larger than what is in savings. Unseen circumstances dictate that should one need to liquidate in a hurry, then you could. Make another payment (the same as what you are currently paying) to your savings account each month. Then when you need a loan, get the loan from your savings account. I would rather pay interest to myself than a bank or credit union.

Foyle calls for League rule
York City boss Martin Foyle says that Blue Square Premier fixtures should always take priority over those in the FA Trophy. The Minstermen are facing a severe potential backlog after their weekend Trophy clash at Barrow was postponed. The tie has since been rearranged for tomorrow evening, which has in turn forced the cancellation of York's scheduled league visit to promotion rivals Mansfield Town."I can see massive problems ahead and it seems people don't look two weeks down the line. You're getting to the situation now where a couple of players could pick up basic injuries and miss three or four games," Foyle told The Press ."A lot of things could go right or wrong for clubs in a short space of time now. That's not fair on Conference players and clubs – a lot of whom are part-time. The game seems to protect the big boys who have 40-odd players but, at our level where the squads are smaller, the overload is massive. It is hampering success."Something will go wrong for either us, Oxford, Stevenage or Luton because of the fixture situation and it probably cost Stevenage in the play-offs last season."He continued: "I don't agree that the Trophy should take preference over scheduled league programmes. They should be set in stone."We wouldn't have liked it if we had lost last week's match against Luton in half-term week."Rearranging it might have meant we got 1,500 fewer fans and it's the same for Mansfield. They will have been banking on a big crowd tomorrow as it's a local game and an important match."

ABC News' Huma Khan reports: The Recovery Act will raise the U.S. deficit by $830 billion between 2009 and 2019, more than the original estimate of $787 billion, according to a report released today by the Congressional Budget Office.
About half of that budget impact occurred in 2010, when most of the stimulus funds were distributed, the report stated.
Despite the hefty burden on the deficit, CBO found that the stimulus continues to have a positive impact on the economy and job growth.
The stimulus raised the U.S. gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2011 by between 1.1 percent and 3.1 percent, and increased the number of people employed by 1.2-3.3 million. The program's positive effects on employment and the economy, though, are expected to wane through the year, per the report.
CBO's analysis comes a day after a Government Accountability Office report that found the federal government awarded $24 billion in Recovery Act funds to contractors and vendors who owe more than $750 million in unpaid taxes.

UPDATE, TUESDAY 2 P.M.: Southampton Town Police have identified the victim killed in Sunday night's fatal accident on Flanders Road as Fidel Ortiz, 42, of Riverside, according to a release. (more…)
UPDATE, TUESDAY 2 P.M.: Southampton Town Police have identified the victim killed in Sunday night's fatal accident on Flanders Road as Fidel Ortiz, 42, of Riverside, according to a release. (more…)
A Riverside woman was killed Tuesday afternoon after her car drifted from Nugent Drive near the county jail and hit a tree. (more…)
The attorney for the man arrested last year for fatally striking a bicyclist along Route 25 in Calverton as he allegedly drove under the influence of drugs with a suspended license and his four young children in the car expects the charges against his client will soon be dropped.
But now William Slatton is once again in trouble with the law. The 31-year-old Farmingville man was arrested Wednesday on a fourth-degree grand larceny charge, a class E felony, for using a credit card stolen from a Middle Island home, Suffolk County police said. A source familiar with the case said Mr. Slatton stole the card from the home of the mother of his kids, while he was visiting them last weekend.
Mr. Slatton made headlines last year following the Nov. 1 crash which killed avid bicyclist Steven Kane, 57, of Brightwaters, the manager of safety engineering at Brookhaven National Laboratory who was pronounced dead at the scene despite the efforts of several passing motorists to save him.
Mr. Slatton is facing charges of driving while ability impaired by drugs, third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation, and four counts of endangering the welfare of a child following his arrest last year. His attorney, Joseph Cozzo of Central Islip, said he anticipates charges in that case will be dismissed since Mr. Slatton was under the influence of methadone at the time of the crash, a drug he was using as part of his court-ordered treatment for heroin addiction.
"He was on methadone and he was getting it from a Suffolk County clinic," Mr. Cozzo said Sunday. "I can't speak for the District Attorney's office, but I do anticipate charges being dismissed."
Mr. Slatton is due back in Riverhead Town Justice Court Dec. 11 in relation to the crash, Mr. Cozzo said. He has been free on bail since late last November after his bail was reduced from $50,000 to $1,000, which Mr. Cozzo previously told the News-Review was lowered so he could spend the holidays with his family.
Even if the crash charges are dismissed, Mr. Slatton could still face jail time for violating the terms of probation in relation to the 2007 felony attempted drug possession conviction that led to his suspended license. He's due back in court Dec. 13 on the probation violation, online court records show.
"With this new arrest, he's going to be in more trouble now," said Mr. Cozzo, who is not representing Mr. Slatton in connection with his latest arrest.
The District Attorney's office could not be reached for comment Sunday.
The source who alerted the News-Review to Mr. Slatton's latest arrest said the father of four recently relapsed in his drug treatment and no longer lives with his children and their mother.
"He has stolen from family more times than I choose to remember and this time he went too far," the source said.
Mr. Slatton is being held at the Suffolk County Correctional Facility on $7,500 cash bail or $15,000 bond, and is due back in district court Tuesday, jail officials said.
A 50-year-old Flanders man riding a bicycle died Friday night after being struck by a car, Southampton Town Police said.
The bicyclist, Robert L. Nelson of Flanders, was treated on scene by the Flanders-Northampton Volunteer Ambulance members, then taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, police said.
A gray 1998 Grand Cherokee was traveling north on Flanders Road when police say Mr. Nelson crossed into the car's path at the intersection of Flanders Road and Cypress Avenue at about 7:45 p.m. No charges were filed. The investigation is ongoing, police said, and anyone with information is encouraged to call Southampton Police at 631-702-2230 or 631-728-3400.
Flanders Road between Wood Road Trail and Evergreen Road was closed after the accident.
The unusually early winter-like storm has apparently caused the death of a Riverhead woman.
Susan Galligan, 54, was killed early Sunday morning when her compact car hit a patch of ice on the Sunrise Highway in West Babylon and struck a pickup truck stopped on the side of the road, Suffolk County Police reported.
Ms. Galligan was westbound when her 2008 Honda Civic spun out of control and struck the rear of a 2006 Toyota Tacoma at about 6:15 a.m, said police. Ms. Galligan was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's office.
Police said Adalid Trejo, 37, of Brentwood was also westbound on the Sunrise when he apparently lost control on a patch of ice and struck a guardrail. After he got out to inspect the damage Ms. Galligan's Civil slammed into the truck, according to reports.
Mr. Trejo and passengers Joaquin Trejo, 46, and Franklin Trejo-Monge, 23, both of Brentwood were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE —English is not Julio Teheran's top skill. Actually, it's probably not in his top five. But during a media interview and speaking through a translator this week, Teheran did some translation of his own.
As he outlined the pitches he uses, the translator needed to ask for the word in English from Teheran. The 20-year-old grinned and said, "Fastball." THE TEHERAN FILE Who: Julio Teheran Age: 20 Position: Right-handed pitcher Height: 6-foot-2 Weight: 175-pounds Born: Cartagena, Colombia Noteworthy: • Rated the top prospect in the Atlanta Braves' organization • Named top pitcher in the organization by the Braves in 2010 • Went 9-8 with a 2.59 ERA in 24 starts last season split between the Rome Braves, Myrtle Beach Pelicans and Mississippi Braves • Struck out 159 batters and walked just 40 last season • Member of the World Team in the Futures Game during the All-Star break "Fastball is the general (pitch)," the translator finished. It's a good word to know for the Colombia native, whose fastball sits in the mid-90s. He also works in a change-up and uses his hard-breaking curveball as an out-pitch. "He has the stuff, it's a matter of him going through (the year in Class AAA)," said first-year Braves pitching coach Marty Reed. "I expect that he'll throw well here." So do the rest of the Braves' organization. With only three professional seasons, including a short season with the rookie-league Danville Braves, Teheran's rise is beyond accelerated. It's exponential. Compare him to the previous top pitching prospect to come through Gwinnett, Tommy Hanson. Hanson didn't make Class AAA until he was 23 years old and had been a professional for four seasons, and that included 18 games with Class AA Mississippi. The most games Teheran has pitched at any level was 10 last season in high-A Myrtle Beach before finishing the year with seven starts in Mississippi. "I have always worked hard to get to this point, but I have always been in double-A (or below) so it was a surprise to make it to triple-A," he said through his translator. The assignment surprised, but after his spring in both major league and minor league camps, Teheran made the early promotion an easy choice. "The way he is working in between (appearances) and the way he's pitching are the things you like to see for a mature and developing pitching," said Braves director of player development Kurt Kemp. "His stuff has always been good. He is learning how to use it and how to use it to get hitters out." Through three levels of minor league baseball last year, Teheran went 9-8 with a 2.59 ERA, striking out 159 with just 40 walks. The 159 K's ranked second-best in the organization. He was named pitcher of the month while with the Rome Braves and Myrtle Beach Pelicans, pitched 52⁄3 innings of a combined no-hitter with Mississippi, played in the Futures Game during the All-Star break and made Baseball America's minor league All-Star team. All those honors bumped the pitcher up to the prestigious organization's top-prospect status entering this season. And with that designation comes expectations and excitement. Pressure? "It is not so much that it is pressure, but it's motivation," Teheran said. "Now that I know that everybody is watching me I am motivated to do my very best." His best should be on display for much, if not all, of the Gwinnett Braves' season. There are plenty of veteran pitchers to whom the Braves will turn first if needed, and his grooming is the highest priority. Even the most talented and fastest studies need time and experience. "Just the way he handled himself in double-A and the way he handled himself in major league camp, there was no reason he couldn't start here," said Reed, who coached Teheran last year in Mississippi. Having Reed with him in Gwinnett is a small comfort to Teheran, who said he trusts the veteran pitching coach and former Dodgers' minor league pitching coordinator. "He has always been a mentor to me and has helped me along the way," Teheran said. Teheran looks young and in front of questioning strangers speaks softly. He may welcome the expectations, but the attention from a foreign-speaking horde cools a smoldering confidence. But he knows fastball, the word and the pitch. And his time to start throwing is here. "It is very exciting to actually pitch full time and do a little bit less training and more actual playing," he said. "I am very excited about that opportunity."More like this story

Hey - I took my own advice; added a 470uf cap right at the TX 5V IN. COMPLETELY cleared up the horizontal banding. Thanks for the idea! Now I can move on to building a proper balanced output for the RX so I can hook a monitor to it. mnem Hover it, baby! |

Thanks picofly. Yes, the solder pad is for the audio. As everything is populated on the PCB, you can just solder a wire from the pad to your VTX to have audio.
Hmm, maybe then this one is the camera from the TX5805: http://www.ahdcameras.com/2-mega-pix...ra-module.html But without seeing the PCB it's hard to tell. But I guess the probability is high. BTW: All the microphone circuit on the TX5805 cam is also populated, you can even see, that once there was a microphone soldered on it. But it seems Walkera decided to go without it and just cut it off. Quote:

The only problem is that I do not know the required voltage for the camera Because even with the wires removed, I am still near 3g... it is not so good for camera advertised 1g |

If 5V, no. Maybe. You may need one of the Pololu 2119 Buck/Boost regulator to feed it. That is, if it IS a regulator. It may be a noise filter; only experimentation can tell you if THAT is necessary. Time to break out the multimeter, or pick a camera more suitable to the level of arse-ache you're willing to endure. I'm flying a 5 gram camera right now on my V929; my other camera is 3 grams.

Just a little FYI I ordered a couple of TX5805's from Walkera Helicopter Supply in the USA, great service got the stuff in a few days.
http://walkerahelicoptersupply.com/p...amera-tx-combo The thing flew fine on my 120 only got maybe 100m on a good day, but tempted to hack it with a better antenna first. total system is about 9grams and remarkable noise free. |

I was ready to dump my 130X for good when my 3 in 1 died a week and half ago but here we go again with a new unit... If this one dies I will dump the heli for sure!
I re-located the transmitter to the back side of the frame. This time I am testing a 20mW video transmitter and a FAN-antenna from TrueRC Canada. Reception was much better this time. Too bad that range of the the 130X's receiver is so poor that I can't fly far away. I need to tune aileron gain down. The heli shakes a lot in -10 degree celsius weather...
Mar 03, 2013, 12:23 AM | |
The antenna looks good at the current location but the swashplate and rotor hub will block the signal when the heli flies directly towards the receiver. I have to go back with the stock plastic rotor hub because it is more RF transparent.
The next step is to boost input voltage up to 5.5V so that the transmitter will operate on 20mW power. |

Tim Calvert
Tim Calvert is an American metal guitarist. He is known for his dark, moody style of songwriting created via his frequent usage of dissonant passages and diminished chords. He is a very technically accomplished guitar player who plays in a neoclassical style, featuring an abundance of arpeggios and sweep-picking. He started guitar lessons with Bob Marshall in Castro Valley and eventually took lessons from Jim Bedford in Hayward, California for about 10 years. He played Jackson Guitars throughout his entire career.
He began his career in the mid-1980s in a thrash metal band called Militia before joining Forbidden in 1989. He made his recording debut in 1990 with the band on their second album Twisted into Form, co-writing much of the material and bring a darker and more progressive sound than its predecessor, Forbidden Evil.[1]
Calvert played on two more Forbidden albums, Distortion in 1994 and Green in 1997. After the dissolution of Forbidden, Calvert was asked to replace Pat O'Brien in the progressive thrash metal band Nevermore. Nevermore wanted Tim as their second guitarist because lead singer Warrel Dane and bassist Jim Sheppard had toured together with Calvert in the early 1990s when Dane and Sheppard played with Sanctuary and Calvert was in Forbidden. Dane stated in an interview he and Sheppard were amazed by Calvert's technique and were very happy when Tim accepted their invitation. Calvert played on and contributed to their classic concept album Dreaming Neon Black, released in 1999.[2]
Calvert left Nevermore in 2000 after the Dreaming Neon Black tour ended and subsequent to his marriage. He has since pursued a full-time, non-musical career as a pilot in Seattle before returning to his home town of San Luis Obispo, California. He currently flies for SkyWest Airlines.
In 2010, it was announced Calvert and a number of other prominent metal musicians were supposed to make an appearance on the first album of an AC/DC tribute band formed by Bay Area veteran vocalist Steve "Zetro" Souza called AC/DZ, but the album has yet to be released.[3]

Here's how RW members rated this race (758 votes).
In short: In full: A really tough and hilly race, makes you ache in new places. Great crowd support and the race was well organized. Only point to make was that there should have been more water stations as it was such a hot day and it would have been good to have had an energy drink or similar during the race instead of after you had finished. I loved the fact that they were serving free tea and coffee to all the runners once they had crossed the finish line, something I have never seen elsewhere before. The medal that everyone gets for participating is in a league of its own. It is worth running the race just to get that medal at the end!!! I am an experienced half marathon runner and I can easily say that I was VERY proud of myself after having finshed this year's race, it is not an easy course. See you again next year. Date of review: March 29, 2009
In short: SuperbIn full: Thanks so much to everyone involved in organising and supporting this race. Although it's impossible to get anywhere near a PB, for sheer enjoyment and exhiliration it's the best race I've ever been involved in.

I must have been 10, judging by the age of the youngest kid in this picture. I'm second from the right, the one with the biggest smile.
I remember sitting on the couch on Christmas morning, watching the other kids open gifts. I had already opened mine: the bright pastel knit pajamas everyone got, a tiny, embroidered coin purse (not that I had anything to put in it,) and a pair of seamed hose. The hose would have been my first "nylons" and my mother bought them at the grocery store for 29 cents. There was no garter belt or anything to hold them up with. I suspect they were a pair she had bought for herself.
I still remember the flimsy, synthetic feel of those pajamas. This was the time when discount department stores were the hot new thing. I think ours was called "Atlantic Mills" and even when I was only ten and fascinated by the immensity of the warehouse layout and the novelty merchandise piled in plywood bins, I thought the place was creepy and smelled bad. Following behind my father, pushing a grocery cart (another novelty – grocery carts in a department store) I was awed as he selected 7 plastic bagged pairs of pajamas in different sizes and colors and casually tossed them in the cart. I'd never seen something as luxurious and unnecessary as pajamas bought in quantity before.
I wore the hose to church that day using a garter belt of my mother's and later on ripped a big hole in one knee climbing up on a kitchen counter to get at the cracker box full of fudge. There always was and is fudge with walnuts at Christmas. Fudge, loads of cookies, pickled herring, a big turkey dinner with candied sweet potatoes and fruit salad (canned fruit cocktail mixed with unsweetened whipped cream – an every holiday essential in my family.) I think the cousins from Up North came. We took a family picture in our new pajamas before bed. It was a happy, busy Christmas.
Money was a problem then but I think my mother just forgot to get me anything.
Over time we've all given and got more, we're fully engaged in the commercialism of Christmas and the consumerism of our times. My mother sneers at the idea of charity gifts like heifer.org and the nieces and nephews spend Christmas Day engaged in vigorous trade in gift cards. My mother's living room is crowded with stacks and piles of brightly wrapped packages by the time of the gift opening ritual which now takes place after an early dinner.
for illustration only
not my mother's house
(there'd be way more presents)
Literally hundreds of gifts must each be opened individually and displayed for all to see though over time we've all realized that the key is showing it to Mom. She is 86 and is still giddy as a little child about the material aspects of the holiday, even while complaining without stop about the shopping burden. Underlying all of it, there are messages. Who likes whom this year, who deserves how much, who thinks whose kids are spoiled and therefore not deserving of a gift (or just the very cheapest token?) Who's rich? Who's needy? Who spends too much? Who is sitting there not getting anything while trying to show enthusiasm for everything? Who isn't responding correctly (thereby wounding mom deeply?) If you're a teenager with a drivers license how fast can you get the hell out?
It's another of those endlessly iconic American scenes that can appear prosperous and loving from the outside but is underlaid by the all too normal ugliness of dynamic family dysfunction.
Whether it was the lessons of that Christmas or just because it was the '70's, I knew that it wasn't the gifts, giving or getting, that was important to me about Christmas and somehow or other I taught my kids accordingly.
Gabby: EP O.M.G. What a shock. You don't think anyone in my family reads OS, do you?
O'Really: oh, really? (Sorry. That came out on its own.) Thanks. It's one of my favorites. Such a smile.
I know what you mean about the groaning load of gifts a contemporary Christmas brings--it is not a good object lesson for children. Rated.
What a great story. I love reading about other people's family dynamics (it makes me feel fairly normal!) and you've written about yours beautifully. Just one thing, though... Herring?
Congrats on the EP and cover. Woo hoo!
I'll share a thought that occurred to me yesterday. Why is it, I wondered, so easy to love children so strongly and unconditionally? It's obvious that they're open and trusting. Also, before they begin to develope independence and autonomy, they're 'needy' in the matter of love. But here's what's so beautiful about the arrangement--- they are able to accept as much love as any nurturing person can muster without refusing one iota of it the way adults commonly do. They're like bottomless wells with no limits on their 'gas tanks'. We can love them until we're on empty and they will use every drop.
Lisa, I outgrew that cuteness so long ago. Pickled herring's kind of a Nordic thing, I think though in the east I had to depend on Jewish areas for it.
liked Larry9's comment about loving children. nice to know you Larry.

Have never tackled a stack and whack, How does it go. Do you need special fabric prints for this quilt as it is gorgeous.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Have never tackled a stack and whack, How does it go. Do you need special fabric prints for this quilt as it is gorgeous.
I love that X block quilt... May I have a little more info?... Did the instuctions also come in the stack n whack book or a pattern? What's an x ruler? lol
Excellent job on both quilts, girl..
What a lovely choice of colors. I'm making one now and have a few questions if anyone could help. When choosing the trim piece for each block do you need to consider the colors in the block? Is there any criteria to follow for the trim or for the layout of the finished blocks?
Wow-neat quilt!
A dog is not "almost human" and I know of no greater insult to the canine race than to describe it as such.
Beautiful choices of colors! I am making my first stack n whack and have a few questions. Do you follow any criteria (like color, etc.) when choosing what color trim piece to finish each block? How do you decide the placement of the blocks in the final layout? Thanks ahead!
I'm new and apologize if I've posted this twice.
Very nice colors & nice pattern. Love it!!!
I love the look of this but where do I get the pattern?
I would love to try it. BTW, You have done a terrific job on this and you chose the fabric well. Thanks for sharing.

Disappointed Kathleen from Glendale Heights, IL– Verified Buyer I purchased two of these. They are not the color I expected. When they catch the sunlight a certain way, they look white instead of bronze. If I had seen them before purchasing, I would have decided on a different product. They were easy to assemble and are an okay weight - would have liked them to be a little heavier. |
Well Crafted Sandra from Waxhaw, NC– Verified Buyer This is the bench to buy if you want to use it as well as admire it. Heavy and well designed, the warm brown, glossy finish is very thickly applied to the metal--not just sprayed on. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is that it is a two-person assembly project because of the weight. |
Great! Wayne from Florida– Verified Buyer Good for outdoor use. I recommend it. I am going to purchase another one to match outside. |
Bench Joan from Daggett, MI– Verified Buyer I love the look of this bench outside our entry. Very good quality...need 2 people to put it together because of the weight. |

text: Tropical Storm Rafael threatens Virgin Islands, Puerto RicoBy the CNN Wire StaffUpdated 12:16 AM ET, Sun October 14, 2012On Bay Road in Basseterre, St. Kitts, two taxis were washed down to the shoreline when they tried to cross the flooded road.Story highlights The center of Rafael passes St. Martin and is heading north The tropical storm could become a hurricane by Friday Efforts to find three passengers on a downed plane continue despite the weatherTropical storm warnings are in effect for many Caribbean islandsTropical Storm Rafael unleashed heavy rain and powerful gusts to the Virgin Islands and threatened more areas in the Caribbean Sea late Saturday night. With sustained winds of 50 mph, Rafael could get even stronger as it bears down on several islands popular with tourists."Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Rafael could become a hurricane by late Monday," the National Hurricane Center in Miami said at 11 p.m. Saturday.At that time, the tropical storm was centered about 40 miles west-northwest of St. Marten and 95 miles east of St. Croix. Rafael was moving north at 14 mph. A tropical storm warning is in effect for a number of Caribbean isles, including the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, St. Marten, Anguilla, Antigua, Barbuda, St. Kitts and Guadeloupe. Dousing rains and steady winds in excess of 39 mph are expected in 12 to 24 hours in these places, according to the hurricane center. Puerto Rico is under a tropical storm watch, meaning such conditions are possible.Forecasters expect Rafael to dump between 3 to 5 inches of rain over the Lesser Antilles and Virgin Islands, with some pockets getting as much as 10 inches. College Street, which runs through the middle of Basseterre, is filled with floodwaters.Basseterre flooding has cut off the east side of the city from the west side."These rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, especially in areas of mountainous terrain," the hurricane center said. The storm could impact rescue efforts for two men and one woman whose small aircraft crashed Saturday morning about six nautical miles (7 miles) south of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Coast Guard spokesman Ricardo Castrodad said. They were aboard a twin-engine Piper PA-23 that left St. Croix destined for St. Thomas, according to Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen.Rescue crews from the Coast Guard and U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Natural Resources saved one female passenger, Valerie Jackson, who told them three others were still unaccounted for.A Coast Guard cutter ship, two helicopters and a fixed-wing aircraft have been dispatched from Puerto Rico for the search, Castrodad said. The effort continued Saturday night despite what the Coast Guard spokesman said were deteriorating conditions due to Rafael.More from americasLost city discovered in Honduran jungleReputed boss of Zetas drug cartel captured in MexicoVenezuela gives U.S. 15 days to reduce embassy staffPowered by Livefyre

To those complaining about the fans, what about dragons?
Junior Member
Let me take a look at the new skin. Her spine is completely broken (let me guess, the same crappy artist who drew Elise, Syndra and Zyra? If not and if so, still, shame on you.). Her boobs are coming out of her collar bone (same as above). She has no more fans. Her yin-yang black-and-white theme is gone. You just completely ruined a champion I've loved since I started playing LoL. Thanks, Riot. Thank goodness you're giving me the vintage skin for free, because that's probably all I'll be using. Here's the only thing I like about the new art: the color purple. It would be different if this were a completely different champion. I wouldn't care if that were case--except for the broken art, which I'd still despise. But I thought this would be a visual upgrade of Karma, not a completely different champion. You say that her fans weren't iconic enough, but they were. Most people who know the champion now know her by her fans. She's "that fan lady." Show someone who doesn't play the game the old and new skins, side by side. If you don't tell them they're the same person, I can almost guarantee that they'll think they're two different people. The only similarities I can spot are the floaty thing behind her, her darker skin, short hair, and the eye markings. I MIGHT think they were sisters, or maybe even that the new one was old Karma's daughter. But the same? No. Not a chance. I understand the desire to evolve, and that this was a wonderful opportunity to do so. I've loved some of your VUs in the past. But this? This is the first time I've been completely and utterly devastated. It is not the same champion. Why do you even have her legs exposed? The way the art looks, it seems as though you gave her a tattoo solely to show it off with bare legs, or to justify giving her bare legs in the first place. I am not saying that her original outfit was great--it was a little awkward-looking, and I really like what you did with the new Vintage skin. But did you really need to have the new outfit expose her legs all the way to her upper thighs? You couldn't have made the top part a little longer, couldn't have maybe given her shorts underneath or something? You also completely changed her body type (that splash art makes her breasts look enormous), which is pretty ridiculous. I just...I'm so upset. I don't think I've ever taken time to post in the forums before this, but I couldn't keep quiet with this one. And I know my words won't change a thing, and most people won't even read this, but maybe some will. Just figured I'd throw in my two cents. TL;DR: This is a completely different champion visually (and the anatomy of the splash art is godawful), and I'm sorely disappointed. I am now prepared for massive downvotage.
Dryad Soraka
Also the size of her Mantle of Decorum goes to show that she has massive influence in Ionia
Why did it take a leak for anyone to say anything about it? Can you guys be a little more forthcoming with information so we don't get left out in the dark for so long, please?
I'm so glad they removed those stupid fans and gave her some new colors other than black and white. As an Asian I was deeply offended by her old look, it hurts my feeling so much that no feminists who's offended by exposing legs can understand my pain.

The Maintenance of Internal Security Act was a controversial law passed by the Indian parliament in 1971 giving the administration of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Indian law enforcement agencies super powers - indefinite "preventive" detention of individuals, search and seizure of property without warrants, and wiretapping - in the quelling of civil and political disorder in India, as well as countering foreign-inspired sabotage, terrorism, subterfuge and threats to national security.
The legislation gained infamy for its disregard of legal and constitutional safeguards of civil rights, especially when "going all the way down" on the competition, and during the period of national emergency (1975-1977) as thousands of innocent people were believed to have been arbitrarily arrested, tortured and in some cases, forcibly sterilized.
The legislation was also invoked to justify the arrest of Indira Gandhi's political opponents, including the leaders and activists of the opposition Janata Party.
The 39th Amendment to the Constitution of India placed MISA in the 9th Schedule to the Constitution, thereby making it totally immune from any judicial review; even on the grounds that it contravened the Fundamental Rights which are guaranteed by the Constitution, or violated the Basic Structure.
The law was repealed in 1977 following the election of a Janata Party-led government; the 42nd Amendment Act of 1978 similarly removed MISA from the 9th Schedule.
Controversial successors to this legislation include the Terrorism and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act and the Prevention of Terrorism Act, criticized for authorizing excessive powers for the aim of fighting internal and cross-border terrorism and political violence, without safeguards for civil freedoms.
Some notable political leaders imprisoned under Maintenance of Internal Security Act:

'Kitty Galore' given two different ratings
Sweden's Board of Film Censors sees 3D films differently.
The stereoscopic version of WB's "Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" has been slapped with a PG rating, meaning children younger than 7 must be accompanied by an adult, while the 2D film got the universal G rating. Board of Film Censors CEO Anki Dahlin said, "We had two teams watching the 2D and 3D versions. Those who saw the 2D version did not experience the effects as strongly as those who saw them in 3D. The 3D effects were difficult for a 4-year-old to handle." Board had previously announced it might make different decisions for 2D and 3D versions. Dahlin said, "The business has accepted this." Eric Broberg, Disney's senior VP and general manager for Scandinavia, said, "There are no scientific facts that state that 3D should be more dangerous. We haven't had any 3D theaters filled with crying kids."Want Entertainment News First? Sign up for Variety Alerts and Newsletters!

Grados aren't really that picky about amplification in general - there are plenty of "crowd favorites" from both camps, but the majority of tubed amps that are liked with Grados are hybrids (or at the bare minimum OTCs), just because of the low impedance nature of Grados.
In general, Musical Fidelity, Grado, Melos, and Mapletree amplifiers tend to be crowd pleasers, but honestly any reasonably quiet and well put together amplifier will be perfectly suitable (because again, they aren't really picky, and will sound good from more or less everything). I think if you've already got an amplifier that's quiet and clean enough (channel balance, quiet pot, etc) to handle your Denons, you should be perfectly set-up for whatever Grado you'd like to try.
I disagree. Grados are singularly well-damped. (See some of purrin's graphs and reports on Grado decay.) Connecting them to the current-FOTM super-low-output-impedance amplifers causes them to over-damp, resulting in the harshness and tizziness that many people cite for their dislike of Grados. The reason Grados do well with many tube amps is not necessarily the "warmth of tubes," but that the output impedance is quite a bit higher than your run-of-the-mill low-output-impedance SS amp. Grados do quite well on 15 ohm output impedance and higher.
This gets complicated to a certain extent because the low impedance of Grados causes fall-off with OTL amps as lowering the bass cut-off point results in extremely large and super-expensive output capacitors (which means shortcuts/cheaper alternatives are often used). Hybrids experience this fault, too, because many of their output buffers still require blocking caps and unless sized large enough, cause bass roll-off or phase distortion in low frequency response.
Bottom line, for the best sound with Grados - finding the right amplification is not necessarily so simple.

Mandela remains in hospital
President Jacob Zuma has met with South Africa's former president Nelson Mandela, who is in hospital.
A statement from the presidency said that Mr Zuma found Mr Mandela "comfortable and in good care".
It offered no other details about why Mr Mandela, 94, is receiving medical tests at a Pretoria hospital.
South Africa's military has been in charge of medical care for the ageing leader since he had a respiratory infection in 2011.
Mr Mandela spent 27 years in prison for fighting racist white rule. He became South Africa's first black president in 1994 and served one five-year term.
He has since retired from public life.

Packouz contends he left the company in July 2007 and never spoke to Diveroli again. (He won't say why he left.) Then, on March 27, 2008, both men were thrust into the national spotlight by a story on the front page of the New York Times. A team of writers had reported AEY fulfilling its contract with Chinese ammo purchased from aging caches in Albania, a formerly Communist country legendary for corruption. AEY had shipped $10 million of Chinese ammo to the U.S. government.
(In fact, the Albanian official who allegedly helped repackage the ammo and might have been key to the AEY case was found dead — possibly murdered — on a remote dirt road this past September 12.)
Under a 1968 federal law, selling Chinese armaments to the U.S. government is illegal, so this past June 20, a federal grand jury charged Packouz, Diveroli, and two others with 70 counts of fraud and conspiracy. According to the indictment, AEY's contract required it provide "serviceable and safe ammunition," but a government inspector in Afghanistan found that some of the ammo was "unsafe for transportation" because of corrosion and a termite infestation in the packaging.
Packouz would say little about his involvement with AEY except the following: "I was only at AEY until July of '07. And throughout the time that I was there, all the quality of all the ammunition was fully functional and fully acceptable. We had done inspections on the ammunition on the stuff that shipped while I was there."
Packouz is out on bond now and keeping busy with massage therapy and consulting work — "nothing in the arms business," he says. He's also taking care of his daughter and polishing off a stoner-rock/grunge music album with humanitarian themes, called MicroCOSM. He's even rented out a studio and hired a group of professional musicians, including a classically trained pianist. The songs, written over a period of eight years, are, according to Packouz, "meant to tell a story of love spanning outwards."
The record, a cross between Pink Floyd and Nirvana, is layered with harmonies and is full of sweet, vaguely silly sentiments such as "We are all human/We are all family/We must care for each other/We all share this humanity," and "Love is why we're alive/Love is how we survive." Asked about the contrast between the song's message and his involvement in a violent global trade, he gets prickly: "I just want to point out that we were arming the people fighting the Taliban. I don't think the fight was wrong."
Packouz's producer, lead guitar player, bassist, and engineer is Fernando Perdomo. "I'm not political at all," he says. "The David I know is a totally normal dude who writes great songs and has a great album out. Everything else does not bother me... [except for the fact that] he has a bad habit of clearing his throat on the mike in the studio."
When MicroCOSM is released in a few weeks, Packouz will almost certainly be the world's first and only rocker-cum-masseur-cum-arms-dealer. On his MySpace page, Packouz says he dreams of winning a Grammy. He'd like to tour, but by the time the record hits stores, if it hits stores, he might be in prison.
"I try not to do anything that's even remotely risky," he explains. "Especially now that I have a child and that I'm a family man, I realize it's not worth taking these big risks. Which I did. So that, in general —" Packouz's voice drops into a lower register, and for the first time he sounds afraid: "I'm just trying to keep my nose clean, so to speak. No matter how bad things seem. To look at the moment... there's always... you can always strive for better things... down the road."
