Another take on the Diamond Buffer
I'll throw this out here as I imagine not everyone reads the blogs.
I haven't given too much thought to the transistors yet, the selection in LTSpice is anyway so poor that I just leave generic placeholders BC327/337 in there and hit "run".
The main idea, apart from the oft-implemented current sources, is the RC filters in front of the output transistors. My other interest is fine-tuning the ratio of driver to output bias for best performance.

What a pity that I had not read the blogs!
I should have read it before I started my headphone amp project.
Thank you RJM.

And what is the purpose of such schematic's "castration" with these RC filters?
According to sims, they rolled-off the frequency responce to ~ 300kHz at -3 dB.
If you want LPF, put it in the front of the buffer.
What about the output transistors' biasing - read carefully Walt Jung's article for diamond buffers.

Consider it an experiment - to see if it made any difference. In principle it should not affect the audio bandwidth present or not. In practice, it did ... so it is at least worth looking into.
The position after the driver pair vs. at the input has the advantage of improving PSRR slightly at high frequencies, and the disadvantage of increasing the output impedance slightly. Neither should have a substantial influence on the output characteristics though.
The output bias current is 30 mA. I tried several settings, this is in the region I prefer. It can be increases if more class A power into low impedance loads is desired, though crossover distortion may increase if you do.
A more recent version of the schematic is attached. I propose to drop the RC filter - still under evaluation but overall I think dampens the sound a bit too much.
Walk Jung on Diamond Buffers, for reference.

If we speak about PSRR and CCS used, I will propose you a (slightly) different approach.
Simulated PSRR with two CCS (as in your schematic) is ~ -71 dB. (see fig.1)
If you use current mirrors with JFET CCS (fig.2), the simulated PSRR is the same (see fig.3).
So I personally prefer the latter approach since the fine tuning of output transistors' quiescent currents is easier (at the expense of one more transistor) - I mean that varying with only one resistor's value you change simultaneously the currents via both driver transistors. And you can even put a trimpot instead of fixed value resistor.

Hi arpagon,
I would like to build the circuit you posted above, but I have a few questions:
1) Do you know if the circuit would be stable as drawn?
2) Is power supply voltage +- 25VDC?
3) 2SK117 is difficult to find. There are some on eBay from Asian sellers, but most look fake judging from their photos. One seller has some GR grade 117s that appear authentic, but who knows?
Is there a different JFET that'll work and is easier to find?
4) Where would the trimmer pot go in the circuit and what resistor(s) would you measure the voltage across in order to set the bias?
5) Is there a way to control DC offset, or will it be low enough not to worry about?
Thank you!

Hi ammel68,
I do not want to hijack the rjm's thread (may be the dedicated topic about Diamond Buffers should be opened) but I'll answer you anyway.
1. About stability - I always use such schematic inside of the NFB loop. If you plan to use the buffer without the NFB loop, you must put C3 into the game (see fig.1). The simulated response of square wave signal is given in the fig.2.
2. The PSU can be +/- 25V without the problem if you stay in the SOA of the output transistors and if your input signal amplitude is below 15V (for given transistors - BC550/560).
3. Instead of 2SK117 you can use 2SK264, BF245 and almost all N-JFET transistor which is low-noise enough. According to Walt Jung the JFETs with long base is preferable (with higher U pinch-off voltages).
4. For the trimpot look at the schematic in the fig.3
5. The offset of schematic is small enough even to use it without decoupling caps (if you match transistors).
And finally - if you want to go into high input voltages, consider use of C1 - it's connected with dissipation of minority carriers from the base (see fig. 4 without it)

Hi arpagon,
Sorry, I wasn't trying to hijack Richard's thread, either.
I'm looking a great sounding discrete buffer to use without incorporating it into a NFB loop and be able to hang a volume pot in front of it for signal level control.
There are already several designs floating around that use a op-amp for the input stage along with a diamond buffer for the output stage...been there and done that already.
Since your buffer uses BC550/560 BJTs, that rules out the use of a volume pot in front of it.
Guess I was "putting the cart before the horse" so to speak.

You don't really need to worry about stability with these circuits, there is neither feedback nor gain so they do what they do regardless. All you are looking at is, ultimately, how it sounds, or as these things tend to devolve, how it looks in LTSpice.
If you want a buffer with a volume control on the front, you can use BJTs if its for line level use (I've done exactly that.). For headphones the impedance may be too low and you'd need to rethink things (should be fine with a 10k pot though...). JFETs are the obvious answer but may not be ideal directly driving the output transistors. You might want to add a stage.
I've seen that version (more or less) before... here, though maybe other places too. I haven't quite worked out the advantage of what advantage current mirrors like that have over the traditional CCS config I show above, though I understand that the JFET allows the bias current to be adjusted/trimmed which is of course useful, and come to think of it its perhaps best to set the current in common for both phases.
I notice in the schematics you've added a couple more capacitors, C1 and C3. I'd appreciate it if you could explain your reasoning for the position and values.

Just look at this mutant triple banana.
HOWTO Make your own Lucky Charms marshmallows
If you can make homemade corn syrup, you can make homemade marshmallows. If you can make homemade marshmallows, you can make homemade Lucky Charms marshmallows. If you can do that, you are become death, destroyer of worlds.
That said, making homemade Lucky Charms is not for everyone.
You can read that sentence as a warning or as a challenge to be one of the few who are up to the task. I will never make them again. That's not because they turned out poorly. No, quite the opposite - they were amazing! However, homemade Lucky Charms were so labor-intensive that both Jonathan and I are still recovering - we have blisters on our thumbs from continuous pressing on cookie cutters (Jonathan had to take over after my fingers hurt so much that I couldn't cut anymore).

Aziz Ansari and others follow Louis CK's lead with $5, DRM-free comedy concert downloads
Aziz Ansari, an extremely funny standup comedian, has just released "Dangerously Delicious," a comedy special that follows Louis CK's Live at the Beacon Theater DIY, DRM-free concert video, which netted CK over a million dollars. Ansari, who was an outspoken critic of SOPA and PIPA, is also asking for $5 for his DRM-free download, and has a very good ecommerce setup for buying and downloading the video, and is also using it to promote an upcoming tour.
Ansari isn't the only comedian who's trying this. As Mike Masnick notes on Techdirt, Jim Gaffigan is also following suit. Masnick laments that both Ansari and Gaffigan are slavishly copying CK's exact methodology, and wishes that each would experiment some with pricing, delivery and so on, in order to learn if there are ways of improving on CK's experiment.
The one thing that concerns me a little about this is the fact that the deal terms are identical. I can understand why they're doing this. It's basically "don't mess with what worked for Louis." But I worry that the message people are getting is "$5 direct offering off a website is the secret." I don't think that's it. Lots of people have offered up a product for download off their website for a variety of prices. The key to making it work is not just the pricing. It's the way the offering is presented. I think it would be even cooler if some of these comedians experimented a bit more with branching out creatively around this business model. It wouldn't be hard, for example, to build on what various musicians have done, and offer up different tiers of support. Or something else. The real opportunity here is in how it's presented -- in a way that treats fans as fans, rather than assuming they're criminals or that there needs to be a big impersonal gatekeeper in-between the fans and the artist. But, unfortunately, some are going to look at these experiments and say "the lesson" is "$5 off your website is the secret." And when that doesn't work for some content creators, they're not going to understand why.
Gross and tantalizing menu from the Explorer's Club dinner
Last week's 108th annual Explorer's Club dinner at NYC's Waldorf-Astoria featured the customary assortment of weird, gross and tantalizing food, starting with cow eyeball martinis (see Paul Adams's photo, below, of the eyeballs). Popular Science has the whole menu. Here's what the canapes were like:
Pineapple towers with scorpion, pea pods, strawberry slices, melon balls and green grapes
Sweet cherry peppers, cucumber flowerets and cherry tomatoes filled with assorted creamed fillings: durian paste, herbed and spiced cream cheeses, and garnished with crickets, mealworms and scorpions
Two varieties of seaweed with mild spices and olive oil
Sautéed and deep-fried earthworms
Orchids (edible) with a honey-sweetened creamed dipping sauce
Chon and Kopi Luwak coffees, made from coffee beans that have passed through the digestive tract of small mammals

Hilarious memoirs from the HR department: chapter 15 of "Let's Pretend This Never Happened"
Jenny Lawson, creator of the Bloggess blog, has posted a long and extremely funny excerpt from her forthcoming book Let's Pretend This Never Happened: (A Mostly True Memoir). The excerpt, from chapter 15, details Lawson's bizarre experiences working in a corporate HR department, coping with the terrible behavior of the employees, the awfulness of the corporate bureaucracy, and the absurdly bad job applications she received.
When I was in HR, if someone came to me about a really fucked-up problem, I'd excuse myself and bring in a coworker to take notes, and the employee would relax a bit, thinking, "Finally, people are taking me seriously around here," but usually we do that only so that when you leave we can have a second opinion about how insane that whole conversation was. "Was that shit as crazy as I thought it was?" I would ask afterward. It always was. Sadly, HR has very little power in an organization, unless the real executives are on vacation, and then watch out, because a lot of ass-holes are going to get fired.
There are three types of people who choose a career in HR: sadistic assholes who were probably all tattletales in school, empathetic (and soon to-be-disillusioned) idealists who think they can make a difference in the lives of others, and those of us who stick around because it gives you the best view of all the most entertaining train wrecks happening in the rest of the company.
People who aren't in HR always assume that people who are in HR are the biggest prudes and assholes, since HR is ostensibly there to make sure everyone follows the rules, but people fail to realize that HR is the only department actively paid to look at porn. Sure, it's under the guise of "reviewing all Internet history to make sure other people aren't looking at porn," but people are always looking at porn, and so we have to look at it too so that we can print it out for the investigation. This is also the reason why HR always has color printers, and why no one else is allowed to use them. Because we can't remember to pick up all the porn we just copied. This is just one of many secrets the HR department doesn't want you to know, and after sharing these secrets I will probably be blackballed from the Human Resources Alliance, which is much like the Magicians' Alliance (in that I don't belong to either, since I never get invited to join clubs, and that I'm not actually sure that either of them exist). Regardless, almost immediately after starting work in HR, I started keeping a journal about all the fantastically fucked-up stuff that people who aren't in HR would never believe. These are a few of those stories:
Last month we decided to start keeping file of the most horrific job applications handed in so that we'd have something to laugh at when the work got to us. We now officially have twice as many applications in the "Never-hire-these-people-unless-we-find-out-that-we're-all-getting-fired-next-week" file than we have in the "These-people-are-qualified-for-a-job" file. What's the word for when something that started out being funny ends up depressing the hell out of you? Insert that word here.

Million Hoodie March for Trayvon Martin under way in NYC
A large crowd of protesters, between 2,000 and 5,000 by various estimates, are marching through the streets of New York right now to draw attention to the killing of Trayvon Martin. The Florida teen was shot to death last month, in a case that has generated widespread outrage online.
Tim Pool has been running a live video stream of the march.
Here's a quick link to the relevant Twitter hashtag (#millionhoodiemarch), to follow tweets from people who are there. Seems like a lot of youth are present at this one, perhaps more so than at recent Occupy marches in New York. People are wearing hoodies, carrying bottles of iced tea and throwing Skittles in the air: Trayvon was wearing one, and holding that candy and beverage when he was shot. So far, police presence is high, but interactions are peaceful, and the crowd is doing its thing without much NYPD aggression. That could change before the night is through.
The parents of the slain teen are present, and addressed the crowd earlier.

Ron Wyden (D-OR) wants Obama to submit ACTA to Congress
Oregon Democratic Senator Ron Wyden has demanded that the Obama administration receive Congressional assent before signing the USA up to the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, a wide-reaching international copyright treaty that was negotiated in secret (even Congress and the European Parliament weren't allowed to read the treaty drafts as they were negotiated). Wyden argues that the Obama administration's position -- which holds that the president can unilaterally bind the US to enact and maintain legislation -- is at odds with the constitution. In Wired, David Kravets speaks to Sean Flynn, a legal expert, about the dispute, who sides with Wyden, and quotes the US Trade Rep Ron Kirk maintaining that Congress has no role in this trade negotiation.
Wyden's demand is embodied in a legislative proposal to amend H. R. 3606 (the JOBS act), whose purpose is given as "To prohibit the President from accepting or providing for the entry into force of certain legally binding trade agreements without the formal and express approval of Congress."
"It's a huge deal whether Congress signs it or not," said Sean Flynn, an American University, Washington College of Law intellectual-property scholar. "The reason it is a big deal, because this is what this agreement does, it tells domestic legislatures what its law must be or not be. These type of agreements are the most important to go through legislative approval and go through a public process and commenting on what the norms are of that agreement. The reason, it locally restricts what the democratic process can do."
Copyright Treaty Requires Congressional Support, Senator Says
Royce Reed, star of campy-bizarro viral videos: RIP
At Dangerous Minds, our friend and former (frequent) guestblogger Richard Metzger writes about the death of Royce Reed, co-star of the "Royce and Marilyn" viral videos. She passed away last night.
"In 2009, when I was guest-blogger at Boing Boing," he writes, "I helped get the ball rolling on the Royce and Marilyn craze." Indeed he did. His post today on the sad news includes many more videos and links.
Back in 1999, the LA Weekly ran the definitive profile on Royce and her comic partner Marilyn Hoggatt. A great loss to Weird Culture. These women were basically real-life versions of Absolutely Fabulous meets Norma Desmond, shaken up with a little Englebert Humperdinck samba. More great videos here.
Doc blasts mandatory transvaginal ultrasound laws
An anonymous MD has a guest-post on John Scalzi's blog describing her/his medical outrage at being asked to perform medically unnecessary transvaginal ultrasounds on women seeking abortion, in accordance with laws proposed and passed by several Republican-dominated state legislatures. As the doctor writes, "If I insert ANY object into ANY orifice without informed consent, it is rape. And coercion of any kind negates consent, informed or otherwise." The article is a strong tonic and much-welcome -- the ethics of medical professionals should not (and must not) become subservient to cheap political stunting, and especially not when political stunt requires doctors' complicity in state-ordered sexual assaults.
1) Just don't comply. No matter how much our autonomy as physicians has been eroded, we still have control of what our hands do and do not do with a transvaginal ultrasound wand. If this legislation is completely ignored by the people who are supposed to implement it, it will soon be worth less than the paper it is written on.
2) Reinforce patient autonomy. It does not matter what a politician says. A woman is in charge of determining what does and what does not go into her body. If she WANTS a transvaginal ultrasound, fine. If it's medically indicated, fine… have that discussion with her. We have informed consent for a reason. If she has to be forced to get a transvaginal ultrasound through coercion or overly impassioned argument or implied threats of withdrawal of care, that is NOT FINE.
Our position is to recommend medically-indicated tests and treatments that have a favorable benefit-to-harm ratio… and it is up to the patient to decide what she will and will not allow. Period. Politicians do not have any role in this process. NO ONE has a role in this process but the patient and her physician. If anyone tries to get in the way of that, it is our duty to run interference.

Teju Cole on "The White Savior Industrial Complex"

There is the principle of first do no harm. There is the idea that those who are being helped ought to be consulted over the matters that concern them.

London thinktank has already lofted a fleet of swarming file-sharing drones
Earlier this week, I blogged the Pirate Bay's announcement of a plan to set up mirrors of its servers in high-altitude aerial drones with wireless Internet links. TorrentFreak has a discussion of Electronic Countermeasures, a project from Tomorrow's Thoughts Today, a London thinktank. Electronic Countermeasures does much of what TPB proposes, creating an "aerial napster" that uses autonomic swarm formation to create, disperse, and reform high-throughput temporary networks in the sky.b
Liam Young, co-founder of Tomorrow's Thoughts Today, was amazed to read the announcement, not so much because of the technology, because his group has already built a swarm of file-sharing drones.
"I thought hold on, we are already doing that," Young told TorrentFreak.
Their starting point for project "Electronic Countermeasures" was to create something akin to an 'aerial Napster' or 'airborne Pirate Bay', but it became much more than that.
"Part nomadic infrastructure and part robotic swarm, we have rebuilt and programmed the drones to broadcast their own local Wi-Fi network as a form of aerial Napster. They swarm into formation, broadcasting their pirate network, and then disperse, escaping detection, only to reform elsewhere," says the group describing their creation.

Deep design analysis of Walt Disney World's lighting fixtures
FoxxFur, the brilliant, pseudonymous design critic and scholar of Disney themeparks, is back again, with the first post in a series of long analyses of the use of lighting fixtures in the design of Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom park. FoxxFur matches the attention-to-detail of the original Imagineers, unearthing a design sensibility that is incredibly subtle, and making a strong case that this subtlety isn't wasted -- rather, it all contributes to an overall sense of consistency and immersion that is the secret of the Disney park success.
One of the best light poles in the entire park, these tall lamps manage to represent Main Street, Adventureland and the Hub all at once. They span the bridge leading from the Crystal Palace to the gateway to Adventureland.
The Hub features much more utilitarian lamps overall, very similar to those seen outside the train station amidst the turnstiles. I think these were selected to create a garden-like atmosphere throughout the Hub, which benefits in Florida greatly from her meandering waterways, sloping lawns, and expansive flowerbeds, recalling the European gardens which inspired Disneyland. Their frosted globes link the entry area, Main Street, and the Hub in a single unified organically flowing movement.
Our tall lamps, above, are unique and occur only at the Crystal Palace bridge. While their tall shape mimics the castle and their frosted globes remind us of Main Street, notice the details of leaves, fronds, and lion heads - hinting at what will be seen nearby in Adventureland.
US law-school bubble pops
Writing in The Atlantic, Jordan Weissmann describes the popping of the "law school bubble," which saw large numbers of law-school enrollees who hoped to graduate into six-figure salaries but instead are facing "six figures of crushing debt and murky career prospects."
These new statistics are the latest evidence that young Americans are getting the hint that the market for lawyers is perhaps not what it once was. It wouldn't matter that fewer people were taking the LSAT if the same number of young folks were ultimately showing up for their first year of law school each fall. But that total seems to be dropping, too. According to the LSAC, the number of students who accepted admission to a law school dropped 8 percent last year, from 49,700, to 45,617 -- the smallest incoming class since at least 2002. (Last year's number isn't published on the Council's website yet, but was provided to me by a spokeswoman). The number of applications also dropped dramatically, which could force law schools to ease up on their mind bogglingly expensive tuition.
One might argue that the drop-offs in test takers and applicants are just the result of an improving economy. After all, more people go to law school when the broader job market is weak. But America's slowly brightening employment picture doesn't seem like a likely cause in this instance. At the AmLaw Daily, Matt Leichter forecasts the size of this year's final applicant pool per law school, and compares it to the trend in the United States' employment to population ratio. When this few people are working, you be expecting to see an increase in law school applications.

DIY balloon camera photos from 90,000 feet
A group of high school students at Oakland's Youth Radio, a terrific organization that teaches journalism, production, and tech to underserved young people, launched a $69 weather balloon carrying a $5 styrofoam cooler and digital camera to a height of 90,000 feet above the Bay Area. The camera captured this magnificent photo faintly showing the curvature of the Earth. From Youth Radio's Turnstyle news site:
"The Weather Balloon Project"
The students planned the launch of the balloon using Google Maps, the CUSF Landing Predictor and terminal area charts of the San Francisco Bay Area. They also programmed the camera to take pictures every couple of seconds , and installed InstaMapper software to track the balloon's trajectory.
China's ageing population and the "demographic time-bomb"
I found Tania Branigan's Guardian article on China's coming demographic spasm really interesting. China's One Child policy means that there's a giant cohort of imminent retirees and a much smaller group of young adults of working age who'll have to support them. Combine that with the tradition (and law) of filial piety, which puts responsibility for the elderly on their children, increased life-expectancy, and a shame-taboo against retirement homes, and you've got the makings of some very turbulent times ahead.
China's economic miracle has been fuelled by its "demographic dividend": an unusually high proportion of working age citizens. That population bulge is becoming a problem as it ages. In 2000 there were six workers for every over-60. By 2030, there will be barely two.
Other countries are also ageing and have far lower birth rates. But China is the first to face the issue before it has developed – and the shift is two to three times as fast.
"China is unique: she is getting older before she has got rich," said Wang Dewen, of the World Bank's China social protection team.
Tens of millions of workers have migrated to the cities, creating an even worse imbalance in rural areas which already suffer low incomes, poor public services and minimal social security.
Most old people there rely on their own labour and their children. China not only needs to support more older people for longer, but to extend support to new parts of society. World Bank researchers point to promising advances, such as the national rural pension scheme and the expansion of health insurance.
China can help deal with increased costs by raising its retirement age; at present, only about a fifth of urban women are still working at 55. Improving education should also raise productivity. Some experts believe such measures will be enough to wipe out the "demographic debt". Others wonder if China will begin to welcome immigrants.

Robert Crumb on the famous and infamous
Here's a 3-part series on Robert Crumb's comments on dozens of "the famous and infamous," compiled from a large number of interviews. I find it fascinating and I often (but not always) agree with him.
Robert: "I love Burroughs also; a great writer. But his best writing is his straight-ahead prose. He wrote all this crazy fantasy stuff, which I think he was encouraged to do by this other beatnik writer, Brian Gyson, who, for some reason Burroughs admired. Gyson was, I think, a jive-ass, bullshit kind of guy. Burroughs, I think he lacked confidence in his own writing, because when he wrote straight prose it didn't sell well. When he wrote Junky, and that came out, it didn't sell well in the beginning. And then he wrote this other book, Queer, around the same time in the early '50s and he couldn't even get that published. That wasn't published until the 1980s. And Queer is a great book. Both Junky and Queer are great. They're both written in this very dry, prose style. And his little thin book called the Yage Letters, which were letters he wrote back to Allen Ginsburg while he was in South America looking for this psychedelic Yage plant. That's a great book; great stuff. But the problem is, there's not enough of that, not enough of his straight-ahead prose. He just didn't think it was any good because he either couldn't get it published or it didn't sell. So then he wrote this gimmicky thing called Naked Lunch, which is mostly fantasy stuff and not very interesting to me, and that sold well. He made his reputation on Naked Lunch.
Robert: "I never could get interested in that comic strip. What's it called? [Doonesbury] I can't remember the name of it. I just never could get interested in it. I could never read one of his strips to the end. Those sleepy-eyed characters, I just found the drawing style so annoying I couldn't even read it. It just puts me off."
Crumb on Others
Your brain, your food, and obesity
We recently hosted an article by scientist and guest blogger Stephan Guyenet that explained how certain foods—those with a high calorie density, fat, starch, sugar, salt, free glutamate (umami), certain textures (easily chewed, soft or crunchy, solid fat), certain flavors, an absence of bitterness, food variety, and drugs such as alcohol and caffeine—could trip reward systems in the human brain. Those reward systems, then, encourage people to eat more of the foods that trigger the reward. The result, says Guyenet, is a cycle that could be the link between the American obesity epidemic and the rise of highly processed convenience foods, designed specifically to trip those neural reward systems.
This theory, and several related theories, are increasingly popular in the scientific community. This week, there's an opinion piece in the journal Nature Reviews Neuroscience that looks at the strengths and weaknesses of these theories and talks about what research needs to be done going forward. It's kind of a space for researchers to step back and say, "Okay, here's what we know, here's what's not lining up with what we think we know, and here's what we have to do if we want to understand this better." In the context of science, an article like this isn't really a slam against the ideas it analyzes. Instead, it's meant to summarize the state of the science and share ideas that could either strengthen the case, or lead down entirely new roads.
Sadly, you can't read this article unless you have a subscription to Nature Reviews Neuroscience (or pay them $32 for single article access).
Luckily, Scicurious, a neuroscientist and an excellent blogger, has read the article, and has a nice run-down of what it's saying and what you should know. Some of the ideas being discussed here overlap with Stephan Guyenet's research. Some don't. But this is connected enough that I thought you guys would be interested in reading more and getting more perspectives on this issue. Let me make this clear, though: Guyenet isn't doing bad science. As with a lot of scientific research, there's often more than one way to look at the same data. Scientists can disagree without one person having to be all-wrong and another all-right. In fact, having different scientists working on the same subject is a key part of getting the facts right.
As you read, you'll notice that an important place where Scicurious' perspective really differs from Guyenet's is in terms of connecting the idea of "addiction" to certain foods back to the idea of an obesity epidemic.
...is there a place for food addiction? The authors think so, and I am inclined to agree. However, it needs to be much more stringent than the current model of food addiction that many people want to embrace (the idea that sugar makes you addicted or that being overweight means you have a problem). Changes need to be made.
First off, it's important to separate food addiction from obesity. Binge eating does not necessarily mean you are overweight, and being overweight does not necessarily mean that you binge eat. Ranking by BMI is not going to work.

Commuting illustrator draws his fellow riders, publishes a newspaper for them containing his sketches
Newspaper Club is a service in London that lets people publish super-limited-edition newspapers. They're always finding surprising and sweet niches for newspapers. One recent example is Steve Wilkin, an illustrator who rides the 7:38 train from Hebden Bridge to the University of Central Lancashire, where he teaches illustration. For ten years, he's been sketching the regulars on his train. Now, he's put out his own micro-newspaper, 738, containing a selection of those sketches, intended for the commuters he rides with every day.
For the past ten years he has been drawing people on his daily commute. A free newspaper gave him the inspiration to publish his sketchbooks in newspaper format. With funding from the contemporary arts development group (CADG) at the University of Central Lancashire he published 500 x 16-page traditionally-printed newspapers to give out to his fellow travellers.

Samir Hussein/Getty ImagesIt looks like a British Amy Winehouse documentary has found a U.S. distributor. According to The Hollywood Reporter, distribution and production company A24 is in final talks to acquire Amy and the company is planning to release the film this summer.
The Asif Kapadia-directed doc chronicles the British singer's life and career using previously unseen archival footage and unheard tracks. The film is already set for release in the U.K. on July 3, less than a month before the fourth anniversary of the singer's death.
Amy, a six-time Grammy winner who rose to fame with songs like "Rehab" and "Back to Black," died of alcohol poisoning on July 23, 2011. She was 27.

ABC/Rick PowellJohn Legend has released a fun video for charity, featuring his supermodel wife Chrissy Teigen and their two dogs, Puddy and Pippa.
In the clip, posted on YouTube, the singer dresses his dogs up in wedding attire and performs his song "All of Me" during an outdoor ceremony for the pets. At one point, Legend takes the reception inside, where Teigen awkwardly catches him singing to their pets.
Of course, the singer isn't really aiming to start performing for animals, but he is ready to sing for you. That's the point of the video -- to promote a contest on behalf of his charity, the Show Me Campaign. You can enter for the chance to win a private performance from Legend by donating $10 or more to his organization from now until April 16.
"As much fun as this was, it's nothing compared to what you're private ceremony is going to be," Legend says in a clip. "If you haven't already heard, I want to create some beautiful memories with you. I want to sing at your wedding, bar mitzvah, any other special event you're having, I want to sing for you."

Eric McCandless/CBSIt seems that no one is safe from pranks on April Fool's Day. Even Rihanna wanted to get in on the fun.
The "B***h Better Have My Money" singer played an April 1 joke on late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. In a preview video documenting the prank, Rih Rih is seen sneaking into a room where Jimmy is sleeping. She says, "Okay, I'm gonna go wake up Jimmy now." The time is shown at the bottom of the screen -- it's 1:07 a.m.
"Wish me luck," Rihanna whispers before leading the camera crew and dancers into the room. Moments later, lights swirl and the music of her her profanity-laced trap track blasts.
The video cuts off before we get to see Jimmy's reaction, but we're guessing he looses his cool.
Find out exactly what he does when Jimmy Kimmel Live airs Wednesday at 11:35 p.m. Eastern on ABC.

RCA RecordsSorry, "Blurred Lines," but you just got funked. "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars has passed the Robin Thicke hit to become the longest-running #1 single of the 2010s.
Billboard reports that "Uptown Funk" has just notched its 13th week on top of the Billboard Hot 100. There are only 10 singles in history that have ever spent at least than many weeks at #1. Here are the other ones:
16, "One Sweet Day," Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, 1995
14, "I Gotta Feeling," The Black Eyed Peas, 2009
14, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey, 2005
14, "Candle in the Wind 1997"/"Something About the Way You Look Tonight," Elton John 1997
14, "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)," Los Del Rio, 1996
14, "I'll Make Love to You," Boyz II Men, 1994
14, "I Will Always Love You," Whitney Houston, 1992
13, "The Boy Is Mine," Brandy & Monica, 1998
13, "End of the Road," Boyz II Men, 1992
If "Uptown Funk" can hang on for three more weeks, it'll tie Mariah and Boyz II Men's all-time record. Right now the two songs behind it on the Hot 100 -- Maroon 5's "Sugar" and Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" -- are on a downward trend, so it's unlikely that they'll knock the song out of the top spot.

Utah barely slid into the Super Six by tying with UCLA for third place in the evening preliminary session Thursday and then winning a tiebreaker — the addition of each team's scores by the sixth and usually non-counting gymnast. Utah thought for quite a while that it would lose the tiebreaker due to two falls and several wobbles on beam, its final event.
Before the Super Six meet, Marsden said, "We just talked about the second chance we probably didn't deserve, and that (Thursday) wasn't who we are. We wanted to come in tonight and take advantage of the opportunity we were given."
Though that resulted in third place, "I can't be unhappy with the outcome," he said.
Part of Utah's feeling of some accomplishment came from the way it stormed back from a slow start to move into second until the final rotation.
Beam was Utah's first event Friday, and while it did much better than it had Thursday, it still had a fall. This time the mistakes didn't multiply. Still, Utah totaled just 49.175, the fourth-place score after everyone had completed one event.
After their first bye, the Utes scooped up a 49.425 on floor to move from fifth to a tie with Georgia for second place, Annie DiLuzio leading with a 9.925 with Baskett and Daria Bijak each scoring 9.90s.
A 49.525 on vault, second-best score of the season for the Utes, put them alone in second place, behind Georgia (148.20-148.15) and ahead of Alabama (148.075), but in its last event of the night, Georgia popped for a season-best 49.625 on vault to become untouchable.
The Utes pretty much hit bars, sticking their last five landings and looking clean, but their 49.275 total, with only Baskett scoring a 9.90, left them vulnerable as 'Bama rocked floor for 49.50.
Final team scores
1. Georgia 197.825
2. Alabama 197.575
3. Utah 197.425
4. Florida 196.725
5. Arkansas 196.475

There is an odd problem I run into.
Single stepping runs just fine until the configuration register, MCCR1 (0xF0) is written to. After the data value is written, all of ROM now reads back 0x00000000. Single stepping cannot continue.
The MEMGO bit is NOT set as part of the data written to MCCR1.
Is this a limitation? or am I doing something wrong?

I am researching the families of Archer, Balderson, Balderston, and Wells. My parents were always interested in cemeteries and I have been around them since I was a small child. A cemetery can be a very peaceful place to think and take a break from the hectic world. I also like to add other individuals that I locate to Find A Grave to help others that in their research. If I have added an individual that you would like to maintain the memorial, please contact me and I will transfer it to you.
If I have posted a photograph of a monument that you would like to use for a family tree, please feel free to use them.

Transcendental realism
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2014)
Transcendental realism is a concept stemming from the philosophy of Immanuel Kant that implies individuals have a perfect understanding of the limitations of their own minds.
Kantian roots[edit]
Transcendental realism arguably has its roots in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant and refers to a form of transcendentalism that permits the subject to be fully cognizant of all limitations of their mind. Thus, they can adjust their cognition accordingly as one seeks to understand the things-in-themselves: the world as it actually exists. In this way, the subject is able to know the world of things-in-themselves, and, presumably, is able to scientifically test noumena (direct, intuitive knowledge).
It is important to note that Kant was himself not a transcendental realist, but rather a transcendental idealist. That is to say, he did not believe one could ever understand the realm of things.
Transcendental realism in contemporary research methodology[edit]
It might be argued that a latent form of transcendental realism has permeated branches of contemporary perspectives on phenomenological research methodology within the social sciences, humanities, education and medicine. Some writers, in particular the economist Tony Lawson of the critical realist school, have suggested that researchers are capable of "bracketing-out" their own subjectivity within phenomenological research. Such claims, while not explicitly characteristic of transcendental realism, tend to overlook problems that are inherently shared (such as those discussed in the section below).
Problems with transcendental realism[edit]
A central problem with transcendental realism is the requirement of the individual to fully understand their own mind to the degree that one is able to identify with perfect certainty each and every limitation inherent and manifest within. This understanding would further need to be perpetually reevaluated given the developmental nature of mind and, presumably, the developmental nature of its limitations. While this is not theoretically impossible, it is, for all intents and purposes, a serious practical limitation of the transcendental realist position.

Breakfast was great, Anvers Metro stop is literally RIGHT outside with Sacre Couer right up the street, luggage storage was extremely helpful to us.
Shower and toilet were on different floors; a little loud late at night sometimes, but, in Le Regent's defense, it is a hostel, and we were using it as a 'budget hotel.'
Really nice helpful staff. The bathroom was clean and the water was hot most of the time. Overall I was impressed with this place. I even booked 3 additional nights.
Location around it is a little sketch but wasn't given any real reason to feel unsafe.
It is a very fun hostel! Clean and social
The public bar stayed open til 1 so it was loud til then but afterwards quite!
That it was near the metro
There were bed bugs!! I was bitten every night I was there and it's all over my body. They were aware of the bed bugs yet still kept us in that room and yes they cleaned the room to try an get rid of them, but they shouldn't be putting guest in a room they KNOW has bed bugs. They never changed my sheets even though there were dead bugs and their BLOOD all over the sheets. I don't like the neighborhood, it seems like a bit of a ghetto and as a young woman traveling I would like to feel a bit more comfortable if I wanted to go out to see paris at night. They claim to have great wifi. There's no wifi connection whatsoever as the signal is so poor!
Here's why:

Can I keep tillandsia's in a greenhouse?
Hi, I am ordering a large quantity of tillandsia's soon, and I can't keep them inside. I would like to keep them in a greenhouse like the one below,
But i am unsure if it will be too hot inside there for them.
Also what sort of irrigation system would work for them?
Thanks for any replies and help.
What about this one, it seems to have windows for ventilation and more shade, although the plants would be put in a shady area anyway
too much shade?
I am going to be buying 950 air plants so I don't really have a place to put them outside. I just need somewhere to house them. Was planning on putting some racking up inside the greenhouse to just house the plants. Will the second one be okay do you think?
This type of shade house is what you need.
They can also hang outside on a wire frame to get morning sun.
If you only want to keep them alive...you could use wire shelving on a light steel frame. Its what they use as grow out for raising them. Its how they keep thousands in a relative small amount of room.No need to attach or hang even a single plant. Check out any Tilly growers set up on YouTube.
Cover with a light cloth,cheese cloth..any poly-fiber sold for plants protection from frost or too strong sun.
Greenhouses cook broms. My greenhouse has removable panels and I have to adjust to the seasons with shadecloth and fans. It's tricky. Broms like a good soaking and some good air flow to dry them out.
Often overlooked factor -- your water. When you soak -- use rainwater! Broms don't like chlorinated water. If you live in a low humid area, misting is not enough.

I pulled the trigger today as my credit picture is not going to get much better anytime soon and I wanted to refi my car. I got the "range" of APRs they might offer, the lowest being 2.99, the highest being something I would never agree to (11% ish?) I'm currently at 5.74%. My current EQ score isn't so hot, 669, but like I said, it's pretty much all UT that isn't going anywhere soon as I'm taking advantage of 0% offers and the dust is settling post-home purchase. Just hoping I didn't take a hard pull for nothing and get a crappy APR or, worse, declined.
Turned out to be a HP for nothing after all. I was approved, but with a 7% interest rate which was higher than what I have now. Then they kept trying to sell me on a NEW car, but I'm not interested, I just wanted to lower my payment/interest. I declined the whole package, guess I'm stuck at 5.7% for another few years.

DURHAM, N.C. -- It's no secret that reading is beneficial. But can it help kids lose weight? In the first study to look at the impact of literature on obese adolescents, researchers at Duke Children's Hospital discovered that reading the right type of novel may make a difference.
The Duke researchers asked obese females ages 9 to 13 who were already in a comprehensive weight loss program to read an age-appropriate novel called Lake Rescue (Beacon Street Press). It was carefully crafted with the help of pediatric experts to include specific healthy lifestyle and weight management guidance, as well as positive messages and strong role models.
Six months later, the Duke researchers found the 31 girls who read Lake Rescue experienced a significant decrease in their BMI scores (-.71%) when compared to a control group of 14 girls who hadn't (+.05%), explained Alexandra C. Russell, MD, a fourth-year medical student at Duke who led the study and presented the findings at the Obesity Society's annual scientific meeting.
"As a pediatrician, I can't count the number of times I tell parents to buy a book that might provide useful advice, yet I've never been able to point to research to back up my recommendations," says Sarah Armstrong, MD, director of Duke's Healthy Lifestyles Program where the research took place. "This is the first prospective interventional study that found literature can have a positive impact on healthy lifestyle changes in young girls."
Obesity is becoming more prevalent in children, according to the CDC, which reports that 16 percent of children ages 6 to 19 are overweight or obese, a number that has tripled since 1980. Researchers are looking at a variety of ways to help kids stay healthy, lose weight and be more active, but Armstrong says, "most don't work very well. The weight loss options that are effective typically involve taking powerful medications with side effects, or require permanent surgical procedur

Come to Como
... about 1 hour on the boat. There is residential along the shoreline and half way up the mountain most of the way around the lake, the further we get away from Como although it begins to thin out and clear townships can be seen.
