I realize it drives a single output. Here's my method. Assuming in dot mode it only drives one line at a time based on the Analog input. You tie all the 7 segment LED legs together that make up a 1 and tie that to the lowest LED input. Then tie all segments that make up a 2 together and tie that to the next LED input. Then when it hits that voltage it sinks current through all those segments lighting up the correct number.
You could use one of these to drive a 1 digit display and get 0 to 9 displayed as the analog voltage increases. That would be a pretty cool and easy digital display for a throttle control, temp range etc.. without a microcontroller.
Read the page a little more closely. Top left corner is a table of contents which lists the page example sketch
Anyone know where to find a SIM Card Breakout. The difference being it's a little simcard with wire extension. I want to use the board here at sparkfun to create a sim card extension cable. I haven't had much success finding one.
It does not support audio. I suggest the WT32 module by Bluegiga. I've used it and very easy to get a project going. http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Bluegiga-Technologies/WT32-A-AI4/?qs=bzgYiMiT8X1PoaLuPkujPLxdARVg6opL
I know my mom said if you can't say anything nice don't say it at all….BUT seriously!? That caption won?!!? That was probably the lamest, not funny, unoriginal one out there
It's made to charge a 1 cell Lithium poly battery. 4.2V is the max voltage you want a 1 cell to reach as you're charging it. 3.7V is the nominal voltage of the cell. Fully charged it will sit at 4.2V. Once you start pulling current from it the voltage will sag to 4.1V down to 3.1ish then it's dead and needs to be recharged. So yes it's suitable.
You guys should put a HUGE spotlight on the roof and everytime a gift code is given away it blasts a laser beam to space. That way we can see how well its going from afar…
hmmmmm have you tried changing the Baud rate or contrast of the screen via commands? Did you put put slashes between the commands like the data sheet? ie CONF/30\n\r which would return the beep setting of the unit?
I posted this earlier but for some reason it posted in a random spot on the page and don't think Nate saw it. So here goes again.
I found something interesting that may be of use. http://www.engineeringsurveyor.com/software/tps-dna-online_v114.pdf and the site I found it on with links to a bunch of user manuals. http://www.engineeringsurveyor.com/utilities/#Leica_Programs
Leica makes these TPS Total Stations and Digital Levels and provide the commands to interface via serial commands on purpose. If I was a betting man I would say they possibly use similar command structures across their systems to keep things easy. I also looked for the '?' char in the document and found it showing up as the response from the unit which was VERY promising. They use a combination of GET, SET, PUT and CONF commands and they use slashes between commands which is kind of odd. I bet you might be able to come up with some combination of commands based on that structure that would get it to spit some data back to you.
Such as some of the CONF commands can set units, date and time, rounding, baud rate, parity etc… and those seems like something that would be from a standard software base possibly.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to buy the unit and try this out for myself but hopefully this gives you a new direction to look. Have FUN!
No public wish lists :(

Imodium - General Information:One of the long-acting synthetic antidiarrheals; it is not significantly absorbed from the gut, and has no effect on the adrenergic system or central nervous system, but may antagonize histamine and interfere with acetylcholine release locally. [PubChem]
Drugs categories
Imodium - Pharmacology:
In vitro and animal studies show that Imodium acts by slowing intestinal motility and by affecting water and electrolyte movement through the bowel. Imodium inhibits peristaltic activity by a direct effect on the circular and longitudinal muscles of the intestinal wall. It is a non-selective calcium channel blocker and binds to opioid mu-receptors. Evidence also suggests that at higher concentrations it binds to NMDA receptors and to calmodulin.
Imodium for patients
Patients should be advised to check with their physician if their diarrhea does not improve after a couple of days or if they note blood in their stools or develop a fever.
Imodium Interactions
There was no evidence in clinical trials of drug interactions with concurrent medications.
Imodium Contraindications
Loperamide hydrochloride is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug and in those in whom constipation must be avoided.

In a destination with plenty of high-end chains, Las Alcobas feels right at home in Mexico City's ritzy Polanco district. This boutique hotel is a former residence and has been gorgeously transformed into a series of intimate alcoves, as referenced in its Spanish namesake Alcobas. While the hotel captures minimalistic luxury with crisp white bedding and handsome leather sofas, personal touches aren't forgotten here. Guests are welcomed with a refreshing drink, perhaps swirled with fresh strawberry, mint, and chia seed. And the homemade Mexican soaps in the bathrooms — possibly a cucumber-and-cactus combo or a bar with freshly ground coffee — are yours to take a couple home as a parting gift.
We loved checking into the boutique on a recent trip, and here's what you should know before you do so yourself:
Which cruise lines are making headlines this week? Travel journalist Donna Tunney — ShermansTravel's cruise expert — has all the latest news. Check back every week for trends, new amenities, and money-saving ideas that help you plan a perfect vacation at sea.
By Greg Keraghosian for Yahoo! Travel

Fans of Ron Burgundy and Anchorman can rejoice at the knowledge of what San Diego's name really means: St. Heelholder.
That is, according to the Atlas of True Names, created by cartographers Stephan Hormes and Silke Peust. Part science and part entertainment, their map displays the cities, countries, oceans, and mountain ranges in their original, etymological names. So, if you live in Missouri, you actually live in the Land of the People with Dugout Canoes.
The Veronica Corningstones of the world may call foul at some of these names, which don't take into account literal translations. San Diego does mean Saint Diego, but the authors took things a few steps further and converted Diego into the original name James, which converts to the Biblical name Jacob. And in the Bible, Jacob was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel.

If you know who Lady Mary, Tom Branson, and the Earl of Grantham are, read on. Crystal Cruises has taken the wraps off a two-night, post-cruise trip to the land of Downton, themed after the popular series about early 20th century English aristocrats. It's an extension of the luxury line's 17-night cruise departing July 8, 2015 from Reykjavik to London. Cruisers, who will pay $4,600 per person for the land tour (we never said it was cheap), will live like royalty while visiting Highclere Castle, the fictional home of the Grantham clan. They'll arrive in vintage 1920s cars (chauffeured, of course) and be guests of honor at a private champagne reception and tour, among other Downton-related activities. Cruise fares on this itinerary — which crosses the Arctic Circle on its way to London — start at $1,730 per person if booked by January 2.
In the latest installment of fabulous Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals coming up in the next week, we take a look at under-$100 Caribbean getaways, a 75 percent discount in Panama City, and even a stellar sale for flights to Fiji. Get those credit cards ready…
Are you attracted to cities like a siren? Whether you love popping in and out of museums in the nation's capitol or romping along neon-studded Las Vegas Boulevard, cities across the U.S. are offering plenty of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals this year. You'll find discounts as steep as 90 percent off, and rooms as low as $39 per night.
If you're yearning to flee the coop this winter for a little heat, Apple Vacations wants to help you out. Its Winter Super Sale kicks into effect for select packages in various sunny locales — shaving close to $300 off busy season prices from booking air and hotel separately. The sale encompasses three-, five-, or seven-night trips between December 18, 2014 and April 30, 2015.
Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is a Mexican holiday celebrated on November 1 to honor the deceased. The festivities run from October 31 through November 2 and are also observed outside of Mexico in other Latin American countries such as Guatemala and Ecuador — as well as in regions with large Latino populations, such as the U.S. If you haven't yet had the chance to see the revelry in person, these stunning photos will give you a taste of the lightheartedly macabre celebration.
An observer took this colorful photo bursting with fresh fruit and bright sweets in Mexico City's Zócalo, the city's main plaza located in the historic center.

Pope Francis on Palm Sunday said that imitating the humility of Jesus is what makes Holy Week "holy," and encouraged attendees to mimic his attitude of humiliation as the week unfolds.
Every day I need you Lord
"Teach me to do that thing you do!" he exclaimed. "What thing is that?" my friend George answered from the front of the classroom. Making a gesture with his hand on his forehead and chest and shoulders, George could see that he meant the sign of the cross. "Do you mean the sign of the cross? George asked. "Yes! That's it, teach me the sign of the cross." was the inmates response.
The number of Catholics in the world and the number of priests and permanent deacons rose slightly in 2013, while the number of men and women in religious orders declined, according to Vatican statistics. For the second year in a row, the number of candidates for the priesthood also decreased. The numbers come from the Statistical Yearbook of the Church, which was completed in February and published in March. The yearbook reported worldwide church figures as of Dec. 31, 2013.
Archbishop Joseph Mitsuaki Takami of Nagasaki has reported that the faithful recognize a "deep sense of crisis" in Japanese Catholicism.
Why does God permit temptation? In one sense temptation is the "necessary" result of freedom. As free persons who are invited to love God and to say yes to his will, we must be permitted to say no. There must be real alternatives to what God offers. If God could force our yes, then we would not be free and our yes would have no real meaning.
Greatness; that's our goal as men, right? Whether we want to be a scientist or a lawyer or a football player, we want to be great. That's a good thing because we are called to greatness by God. However, every great doctor or athlete or plumber or teacher had someone coach them.
Bishop Williamson,who has denied the Holocaust, violated Church law when he ordained Father Jean-Michel Faure, 73, a bishop, without papal approval during a ceremony yesterday in Nova Friburgo, Brazil. While the Vatican did not comment immediately, canon law provides automatic excommunication for the newly ordained Bishop and for the Bishop ordaining him in cases where the ordination goes against the will of the Pope.

Lafayette residents team up to build community garden near downtown
LAFAYETTE, LA (KADN) — Residents in two historic neighborhoods near Downtown Lafayette had a busy weekend. Near the corner of Vermilion and Garfield Streets, volunteers and future gardners from the Freetown/Port Rico neighborhood were working hard to build raised plot of garden beds.
The unused City of Lafayette property will now be a community garden with vegetables, herbs, flowers and other plants. There are many reasons for this positive addition.
Like beautifying the area, the sharing of the crops from the garden, helping the people of the area to unite for a better Lafayette. And there are other win win situations from this neighborhood garden.
"You know there is research that would suggest that a community garden can alleviate or lessen crime in a neighborhood. It gets people together and the neighbors come out. It becomes a joint effort and then everyone is taking part in something and giving back to their community. So they are investing again in themselves, neighbors, and community." said Marla Kristicevich.
"It's really exciting because it's not one entity, it's not one person, it's hundreds of people that want to see this happen. The benefit is for the entire community." said Emily Neustrom.
After the initial start up help from the City of Lafayette planning, now other funds to improve the Freetown/Port Rico garden project are being raised to add shade structure and benches for a complete community garden...If you would like to donate then go online to civicside.com

RECIPE: Chocolate Chip Chocolate Cheesecake
DH bought a bucket of chocolate chip cookie dough - I decided to use some of it to make this dessert:
18 ounces refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (I'm assuming you could alternatively make your regular homemade chocolate chip cookie instead)
2 8-ounce packages crame cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
4 packets (1-oz each) Nestle Choco Bake Unsweetened Chocolate Flavor (I just melted unsweetened baking chocolate)
2 8-ounce containers frozen Cool Whip
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Place cookie dough on bottom of springform pan.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
Combine cream cheese, sugar, and melted unsweetened chocolate in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add whipped topping; stir until just blended. Spoon over cookie crust; smooth top. Drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate. Cover; refrigerate for 3 - 4 hours or overnight. Remove sides of pan.
Yeah, buckets. It's a fund-raiser thing that the schools do, at least in my area. The kids usually go door-to-door, selling buckets of cookie dough (different flavors), or gift wrapping, or candles, or candy, stuff like that. It's not that great (Tim & Cass would rather eat it raw, anyway), but I thought it would be fine for "crust" purposes! LOL
Too bad it's not that great as cookies but you're right, it would be perfect for a crust. What a great idea for a fundraiser though!

Optimal opportunities: Jahner shoots 68 as Trinity wins Region 5 title with a 303
MEDORA — The biggest topic this spring was the weather.
It was once again during the Region 5 Tournament on Thursday, but for a different reason.
Instead of rain and gale-force winds, golfers experienced sunny skies and a light breeze.
No one used the optimal scoring conditions better than Dickinson Trinity sophomore Willy Jahner at Bully Pulpit Golf Course.

CPU and TDP
Likes # 0
Posted November 3, 2012 at 1:18PM
Can anyone explain TDP to me in simple terms. I've googled but I'm finding it difficult to understand. Tj Max I can make sense of but TDP, set for 94.5 watts on my CPU, is that the heat it dissipates or the amount of maximum power needed to cool the CPU? I understand that if this figure is exceeded then the PC will shutdown same as if the Tj Max setting is exceeded.
Many thanks.

Its the amount of heat the cooling system is deigned to dissipate.
Exceed it and the CPU overheats, at some point the amount of heat energy in the transistor juntion is enough for electrons to jump across the junction without being switched electrically
i.e. junction breaks down and transistor is permanently switched on

Thanks Fruit Bat /\0/\ . Much clearer for me now. It also seems that the lower the TDP then the less power a CPU uses.

We all watched Hoosiers and Space Jam more than a few times when we were kids. Some of us watched Above the Rim and He Got Game when we were in college. A shocking amount of adults have seen Juwanna Man. The one thing those movies -- along with Larry Bird, Carlos Boozer and Metta World Peace -- have taught us, is that very good basketball players can come from, literally, anywhere (including Moron Mountain, in Metta's case).
For the sake of convenience, we'll stay out of outer space and look only at the hometowns and home states of the 396 current NBA players that were born in the U.S. Of course, the most straightforward way to look at where NBA players come from is to look at where they were born, so that's where we'll start.
Well, actually, we'll start where I grew up, in the northwest corner of Illinois. Like most kids my age, looking to find something they could be passable at, basketball was the sport of least resistance. I played in my driveway, in the park, and at the YMCA. I studied the sport, watching hundreds of basketball games each year.
However, by the time I was 15 or so, I had (thankfully) developed enough self-awareness to realize that I totally sucked at basketball, and that for the rest of my life, I'd have to accept my place on the couch, with a pizza, as a basketball fan. Not only did I suck, so did everyone else. Sure, some of my childhood friends played on the high school team. Most of us played some intramurals in college. By and large, though, everyone I know from my hometown, myself included, would probably suffer a severe, unspeakable injury by taking on a pro player in the post, or anywhere on the court for that matter. Needless to say, none of the NBA's current players were born in the northwest corner of Illinois. Plenty of them, though, were born nearby, in and around Chicago.
Chicago, like you might expect, was among the largest producers of elite basketball talent. The Windy City finished third behind New York and Los Angeles. In fact, big cities -- not surprising -- have produced a lot of the talent currently playing in the NBA (see table). More NBA players were born in New York (23 players) than in any other city in the U.S. However, the nation's capital -- the 25th largest city in the country -- has produced a remarkable 10 players, good enough for fourth. Seattle (8 players), and Baton Rouge (6 players) are also surprising given their populations -- and not for the obvious reasons, but we'll get to that later.
The state-level numbers also show the same population correlation with California at the top of the list (60 players) followed by New York and Illinois. The top 15 player-producing states aren't particularly surprising. Only two states are not among the 15 most populous states in the country-- Louisiana (4th in terms of player production and 25th in terms of population) and Maryland (tied for 13th in terms of player productionand 19th in terms of population).
Numbers on their own, though, tell only part of the story. The heat map below shows where the NBA's breeding grounds are concentrated. Again, not too surprising. The three hottest areas are in southern California, near Los Angeles, in and around Chicago, and along I-95 between Washington, DC and New York. Despite having several large cities (e.g., Denver, Phoenix, Las Vegas), most of the area between the Mississippi River and California is dark, producing relatively few players.
Where the numbers really start to get interesting is when you take a look at them relative to the general population. That is, to consider each state's per capita production rate for NBA talent. For example, since there are 396 players born in the U.S., and since the nation's population is about 311 million, the U.S., as a whole, has produced about 1.3 active NBA players per million people. This same method can be applied at the state level to see which states are producing more than their fair share of professional basketball players.
Not surprisingly, mid-sized states like Iowa -- which is home to 3 NBA players (Harrison Barnes, Kirk Hinrich, and Nick Collison) -- find themselves at or below the national average, with about 1 active NBA player per million Iowans (with its population of 3.06 million).
However, some larger states -- like Florida and Ohio -- find themselves below the national average for players per capita, an especially surprising turn of events given Florida's position in the top ten of total players produced. The reasons behind this are difficult to explain# because even the most logical line of thought -- that both states produce remarkable amounts of football talent that could explain the relative paucity of basketball players because of opportunities costs -- is challenged by the fact that Louisiana, the smallest state in the top 15 NBA player producing states, also consistently ranks among the highest, per capita, NFL player producing states.
So, what is it? Does Louisiana have some sort of secret formula they add to school lunches to produce spectacular athletes at such an unlikely rate? Or is this a function of demographics and opportunities?
Even loopier than Louisiana's overachieving, though, is Washington DC. The District's player production -- 16.2 active NBA players per million residents -- blows the rest of the country out of the water. The next closest state is Louisiana at 3.7 players per million (see table and map, below), followed distantly by Maryland with 2.06 players/million.
The reasons behind this difference between Louisiana and DC on one side, and everybody else are myriad, an academic way of saying "difficult to parse and even more difficult to make sense of", despite the mountain of data in front of us.
What does make sense when looking at the data is Maryland's place in third. This is likely a function of the intense basketball producing hotbed that has created the Washington DC juggernaut. Kids born in Maryland proably end up playing against high level competition from neighboring DC, which may in turn help to propel those players -- who would likely also benefit from the increased attention placed on the area by college scouts -- get opportunities they would not get if they lived in Arizona or Colorado.
The struggle to find meaning in the numbers, beyond an Aristotilian confluence of events, is made even more surprising and challenging -- though I suppose that depends on who you talk to -- by the fact that there is a less-than-sturdy connection between (1) racial demographics within each state and (2) whether or not each state will produce professional basketball players.
That's because, while the "genetic predisposition" argument for African-American participation in basketball is tomfoolery, the popularity of basketball within the African-American community is hard to deny. Furthermore, ignoring the fact that 79% of the NBA's player are African-American is naive at best and disingenuous at worst.
So, given the fact that 4 out of every 5 NBA players are African-American, you would assume that the cities and states with the largest per capita African-American populations would produce the most NBA players. This is true for Washington DC (50% of DC's population is African-American and it produces the most NBA players per capita). It's also true for Louisiana, which has the third highest per capita African American population in the country. It is not, however, true for some other states with high per capita player production. Wyoming ranked 7th in terms of per capital player production, but ranks 42nd in terms of its African-American population. Similarily, while Washington ranks 6th in per capita player production, it ranks 36th in terms of its African-American population.
Now, we can explain away the Wyoming juxtaposition by mentioning the fact that even one player (in this case, James Johnson) would put it in the top ten considering how comically sparse Wyoming is (50th in population with 568,158); but Washington -- 13th in population with 6.83 million people -- throws a monkey wrench in the demographics argument.
There seems to be something more nuanced going on. The number of NBA players a city or state produces probably isn't a function of demographics alone. Unexpected returns from "unlikely" places are probably a function of a series of thresholds; something like cluster-based economic development.
Some of the world's biggest tech companies all seem to come out of Silicon Valley. ADIDAS opened up an office in Portland, OR to mooch off the talent that Nike had already attracted to the area. Some places just begin to develop -- unintentionally in most cases -- certain structural elements that allow them to produce far beyond their perceived/expected capabilities.
Something similar seems to be happening in Louisiana (specifically in and around Baton Rouge and New Orleans). Sure, some of the players out of southern Louisiana may be naturally talented. Some may have wound up in the NBA even if they were born in Maine. But, the fact that they had each other to play against and to learn from, and the infrastructure of coaches and supportive schools and communities, also likely played an enormous role in their success.

Hi: 9° Lo:5°
By Tristan Harris Thursday 14 August 2014 Updated: 15/08 13:05
A CAMPAIGN has been launched to get Bromsgrove a town council.
John Ellis said he started the drive because he felt, as there are a lot of councillors in outlying areas on the district council, it did not fully represent the people of Bromsgrove.
He added the outlying areas had parish councils and having a town council would give those living in the central wards the same representation and support, when it came to decision-making.
The Stoke Prior resident said: "I'm very much against the cabinet approach we have at the moment with one group of councillors making all the decisions.
"If we had a town council. issues such as the demolishing of the Market Hall could have been approached in a different way.
"It would give people more of a say on what goes on in the town centre.
"Droitwich, Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley all have town councils and Bromsgrove should have one too.
"Having a town council has often been suggested, but now is the time to act.
"If we can get ten per cent of the electorate to sign a petition, we can set the wheels in motion."
Mr Ellis now wants people who are interested in helping get Bromsgrove a town council to email him at email@example.com to arrange a meeting.
In order to get a town council formed, Bromsgrove District Council must carry out a Community Governance Review (CGR) which can be triggered by local electors presenting public petitions to the principal council - in this case Bromsgrove District.
The petition must define the area to which the review relates to, referring to exact identifiable boundaries and set out at least one recommendation that the petitioners want the review to to consider - in this case the creation of a town council.
Because there would be a local electorate of more than 2,500 in the town council catchment area, the number of signatures must be at least ten per cent of the those of voting age living in the area to trigger a CGR.

The OpenELEC team is proud to release the 6th beta of OpenELEC 2.0!
Internally this is known by the less-catchy name OpenELEC 1.95.6 :)
After the release of OpenELEC Beta 5 we received again many new bug reports. Some or most of the Issues related to a not starting SAMBA server and not working video output on older AMD graphic cards and GPUs introduced by a AMD video driver update and the removing for support for legacy GPUs (HD2xxx-HD4xxx). We have added the legacy AMD driver to our Generic builds which should work now, but also needs to be more tested. A known reported issue with this driver is a Watermark on some GPUs. As these are significant changes and to be sure we have solved most of the reported issues we have decided to release Beta 6 :-).
Because we have included the AMD legacy driver in our Generic builds its needed for all users of this builds to check the partition size of the first partition. This builds are now around 165MB. You can do this via ssh (putty):
df -h /flash
Starting with Beta 4 we also checked for corrupt update files before upgrading commences. On very rare occasions the download of our updates were incomplete and caused the system to fail after reboot. As our user base grows, rarer problems such as this one will emerge and be dealt with in a similar manner. This change will reduce the number of upgrades problems.
To manually update the procedure is the same as before however you must also copy KERNEL.md5 and SYSTEM.md5 to the update folder/share together with KERNEL and SYSTEM.
There are 290 changes by 15 authors and 85 closed issues since Beta 5 (1.95.5). The most important changes are:
We would like to thank our users, team members and partners for testing, reporting and fixing issues, creating how-to documents, developing new features, and their donations of hardware and funds to the project. We appreciate your continued support!
You can download your OpenELEC 2.0 Beta 6 build here.
Upgrading to OpenELEC 1.95.6
There have been many months of developer testing in the run-up to this beta release, but like any major update there are a lot of changes and something somewhere will have been missed (this is why we do beta tests).

Taxpayers demand accountability from school district
Shannon Symonds of Rockford holds a protest sign outside the District 205 Administration Building, 201 S. Madison St., Tuesday, Nov. 9, at a concerned taxpayers' rally organized by the local grassroots organization Watchdogs for Ethics in Education. More than 50 citizens gathered to voice their concern over the district's spending habits. For more about the taxpayers' rally, including Superintendent Dr. LaVonne M. Sheffield's response to her critics, click here.
Symonds' sign, which reads "Release Hardy's Letter," refers to District 205's refusal to release an unflattering letter written by former Rockford Auburn High School Principal and current Freeport High School Principal Dr. Patrick Hardy. The Rock River Times and the Illinois Press Association have filed suit against the district for its noncompliance with the Freedom of Information Act. For the latest about the lawsuit, read "Preliminary hearing in IPA, TRRT suit against District 205 Feb. 2," or "IPA, TRRT file suit against District 205, LaVonne Sheffield".
