Vermeil Plating: Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze: Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

David Haye (24-1, 22 KOs) made a successful first defence of his WBA Heavyweight Title when he stopped John Ruiz (44-9, 30 KOs) in the ninth round of their clash at Manchester´s MEN Arena. Fighting in front of a boisterous sell-out crowd of 20.000 fans, the 29-year-old knocked down his opponent four times, including twice in the first round, to clinch a spectacular victory. He was in full control throughout the entire bout, constantly punishing Ruiz with his trademark power punches. When Haye unloaded another barrage of heavy shots after 2:01 in the ninth round, Ruiz´ corner threw the towel.. I was over the moon, Haye said afterwards. I am really happy with my performance. I felt was really sharp. There was a 20,000 capacity here with everyone screaming the 'Hayemaker' and I really enjoyed it. With performances like that I'll keep the fans behind me. I loved the whole occasion. I want to keep pleasing my fans and I will fight anybody they want me to fight. Just like his fighter, coach/manager Adam Booth enjoyed a very special evening at the MEN Arena. David has got a good boxing brain and he gave an entertaining fight in a homecoming, he said. There are still some things he can improve and we will be working hard on that. But he put on a good show tonight. Asked about Haye´s next opponent, Booth said: "We don´t yet know what the immediate future holds. We will take a few days off, get a rest and then sit down with our partners from Sauerland Event to discuss the options. Chris Meyer, General Manager of Sauerland Event, believes that Haye has a golden future ahead. It was a fantastic night of boxing, Meyer said. It was an electrifying atmosphere and David put on an entertaining fight. Ruiz is a tough guy and kept marching forward, but David simply had too much power for him. The fans all over the world love to see David fight, he is very entertaining. Just like Adam said, we will now carefully discuss the future. There are several options. It will be a very interesting time.

A series of hairpin pyrrole-imidazole polyamide-fluorescein conjugates were synthesized and assayed for cellular localization. Thirteen cell lines, representing 11 human cancers, one human transformed kidney cell line, and one murine leukemia cell line, were treated with 5 muM polyamide-fluorescein conjugates for 10-14 h, then imaged by confocal laser scanning microscopy. A conjugate containing a beta-alanine residue at the C terminus of the polyamide moiety showed no nuclear localization, whereas an analogous compound lacking the beta-alanine residue was strongly localized in the nuclei of all cell lines tested. The localization profiles of several other conjugates suggest that pyrrole-imidazole sequence and content, dye choice and position, linker composition, and molecular weight are determinants of nuclear localization. The attachment of fluorescein to the C terminus of a hairpin polyamide results in an approximate ~10-fold reduction in DNA-binding affinity, with no loss of binding specificity with reference to mismatch binding sites.

Sellout Crowd To Watch U.S., Mexico Play Soccer
The U.S. and Mexico have a long rivalry on the soccer field. They take the field again Tuesday in a game that holds political, cultural and competitive importance. It's a World Cup qualifier.
Today brings a new chapter in one of sport's greatest rivalries. It is the United States versus Mexico, and the sport is men's soccer. The game will be played in Mexico's enormous Azteca Stadium before a sellout crowd of 100,000 fans. The U.S. has never won a competitive game on Mexican soil, and our southern neighbor's national team is hoping it stays that way. NPR's Carrie Kahn will be in the stands tonight, and she sent us this preview.
CARRIE KAHN, BYLINE: I'm standing on the field at Azteca Stadium and it is huge and intimidating. On a big game day, it can easily fill up with more than 100,000 people. Tickets ran out on Sunday, so the U.S. team will be attempting its first-ever official win here before a sold-out crowd. Before yesterday's practice, Maurice Edu, midfielder for the U.S. team, said as a kid he would watch the rivals on TV and he's thrilled to get to be a part of history and take on Mexico.
MAURICE EDU: Whenever you put on your country's colors you take a lot of pride, and it's an honor. It's a great honor to represent your country. But playing against your biggest rival, you know, it's that much more important.
KAHN: Today's game is important for both teams, battling for a spot in next year's World Cup on Brazil. History, though, is on Mexico's side. It's only lost one World Cup qualifying game at home since 1949. And Mexico has beat the U.S. 13 out of the last 14 match-ups - one game ending in a tie. Mike Woitalla of Soccer America magazine says the rivalry isn't really that lopsided anymore. The USA usually Mexico when the games are played on U.S. soil.
MIKE WOITALLA: Well, now it's even more interesting because you've got Mexican-American players playing for the United States. And I think that's very appealing to the more than 30 million Mexican-Americans in the United States. I think that's getting a lot of them to become U.S. soccer fans.
KAHN: There are three Mexican-Americans on the U.S. team ready to play tonight. Joe Benny Corona is a U.S. midfielder. He was born in L.A. but lived much of his childhood in Tijuana, Mexico.
JOE BENNY CORONA: I grew up following the Mexican league and all that and the Mexican national team.
KAHN: He could actually play on El Salvador's national team if he wanted to. His mother is Salvadoran, but he's glad he chose the U.S. team. He says he does have to endure snide comments though from Mexican friends. What kind of things do they say to you?
CORONA: They're just like, oh, I hope you do a good job in your game but I hope you lose.
KAHN: For the 400 U.S. fans who've come to Mexico to see the game, it's definitely an experience to remember.
COREY VEZINA: All the people in Mexico are great to us. They're really nice, friendly, cool, and then you got into the stadium and it's war for 90 minutes.
KAHN: Corey Vezina should know. This is his third trip to Azteca Stadium to watch the U.S. play. He says Mexican fans throw everything they can at the U.S. supporters - beer, soda, sandwiches - anything, he says, that's not bolted down.
VEZINA: It's the most intense fan experience any American can have. It's just such a bitter rivalry that should be on every, you know, American's bucket list as far as sporting events goes...
KAHN: From Mexican team fan Alfredo Vargas, on his lunch break at a nearby mall, the rivalry between the two teams is wrapped up in politics.
ALFREDO VARGAS: (Foreign language spoken)
KAHN: He says we treat the American fans badly because they don't treat Mexican immigrants in the U.S. very well. But he says, politics aside, once everyone is on the field may the best team win, and he's sure that will be Mexico. Carrie Kahn, NPR News, Mexico City.

I think I have decided to go with a Droid X when it comes out next week. I want to get my hands on an EVO to see how I like the larger form factor, but everything I read/see about the X looks very cool. Goes on sale this Thursday and I think I'm gonna pick one up that morning if I can get my Wife's work discount on the account. Here are some links: Engadget preview: Exclusive: Motorola Droid X preview -- Engadget YouTube review: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMG0Wjnuq3I"]Part 1[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nQX4VeNNxc&feature=channel"]Part 2[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTZGk3TAmfs&feature=channel"]Part 3[/ame]
There is no doubt it is going to be a nice phone, but only after they upgrade it to Droid 2.2. Right now there are somethings that you won't have out of the box because it is shipping with Droid 2.1. Also considering that they will make a really big battery for it which would mean you would not need to lug a battery would be sweet. Not sure how much more that baby is going to weight though. Battery life is key for me and that is one think I'd have to know before I could jump on that wagon. They say the camera software on it is horrid, I've seen that in every review. Also the picture quality and video quality isn't as good as it should be, perhaps this is because of the moto software that is riding on top of Android. Is moto working on an upgrade? (I assume so) We know Google is for Droid (2.2)? See that is what scares me about these phones, because you've one company making hardware, one adding their software on top of an OS that they do not make. Makes me cringe! Believe me I am not trying to dissuade you, I am just saying... those are the things that many bloggers and tech mag guys point out. Everything I've seen says it sweet! Once you get it, we'll expect a full review!
From what I've read the camera is OK, and the video is pretty good. I don't need a full on point-and-shoot, just something to catch quick pics and the occasional video. And ANYTHING has to be an improvement over the camera in my Blackberry Bold! I wouldn't say that the overall review opinion of the camera software is that it's "horrid". I haven't read anything really negative on the camera app. It looks pretty standard. The battery should be fine. All the reviews seem to indicate that it's better than the EVO. I dock every night so as long as I get a full day of usage I am fine. I'm also reading that the latest OTA software update for the EVO has significantly improved battery its life. One thing I like about what I have read is that it's stock Android software for most of the GUI. Motorola has not fully skinned the OS, just certain pieces. And a froyo upgrade later this year is also a good thing. Since Google has said that it has no plans for Nexus 2, I think this is the one I am going to jump on. I still need to go check out an EVO to see how it feels in my hand though. I like the notion of a big screen, but the larger form factor is a bit of a concern for me since it's not something I have used before. Plus, I'm sick of researching smartphones! I just want to pull the trigger and get it done!
Give it a shot. You always have the 30 days to return it and go back to your Bold if you don't like the DroidX. ct_mike
I think you will like Android. I've fallen in love with all the customization. Two years ago I could have given 2 shits less about that. It's funny how things can change when you have the choice. My battery life on my EVO has improved. It could always be better, but it fine by me. I don't see the big deal with having an extra battery either. I leave it in my van as a just incase. My camera and video is pretty good. I like you Proper don't need an SLR camera. I think 8 megapixels is pretty good. I checked out the reviews you posted. Thats one nice phone. If I had Verizon that would be my phone. All I have to say is enjoy it when you get it. Android has made owning a smartphone pretty fun with all the different screens and widgets you can use. If your a sports fan your really going to love it. One last thing..... I don't think you will mind the size. I came from a Palm Pre and compared to that its night and day.
The main thing is that it appeals to you and Verizon has the coverage that will make you happy. In the past I hardly ever took video or pictures on my phone because most of them were always so crappy. It isn't always so much the camera as the camera software and the camera makeup. I've seen many higher megapixel camera take much crapper pictures that lower megapixel cameras simply because not all cams are created equally. What I see being flagged on the Droid X is the camera software as being slow and in some cases even freezing up during picture taking. Again just what I've read, I have never seen or used one. I agree the battery should be fine, but coming from an iPhone it would have to be damn fine. LOL None the less the reality is that most of these smartphones have to be charged daily these days. The main concern is will it get through a day without needing a charge or an extra battery. I agree with Ehilbert changing out a battery isn't that big of a deal, but it just isn't something I want to have to be bothered with. Clearly when it is necessary to lug an extra battery to get through a day then the size of the screen and the processor really need to be revisited, because that is pretty sad. I think once the Android 2.2 hits the Droid X will likely be a hell of a phone. But I've just heard so much about how Google and Droid throws everything into their phones from the get go... seems that is no longer the case. One thing that Google really needs to work on with Android is refinement! It lacks the polish that it should have in my opinion! I am excited for you and I really look forward to your review! Lets see these things are being released on July 15th. So you getting to the store early?
Nah, no early morning run to the store for me. I'm going to try and do it online. I'm actually starting a new job tomorrow so I won't be able to sneak away to the verizon store. Hopefully I can sneak in my order before I leave for work. A review will soon follow... Unless I change my mind again of course! Posted via Mobile Device
Finally got to watch the vids. That looks really sweet! Don't change your mind! My new every 2 is up at the end of the year, and I'm staying with Verizon because of the coverage here. A day and a half out of the battery the way he has been using it is pretty good. I'll be even more curious what 2.2 brings, um, too. It's too bad the camera is funky, but at least it doesn't need a bumper. LOL!
Well here is to the best of luck getting your order in. I lucked out getting an order in with all the crazy iPhone 4 stuff, so you'll be good. The more I think about it, the more happy I am that you are getting it. We need to have some good reviews on these Android phones. Like it or not Android will be on so many different phones they will eventually take a pretty commanding lead in market share or at least they should. I would just like them see them improve the apps, along with the marketplace and then as I said a little more refining. I think they will, but hey they are off to the best start of anyone else that I have seen come up against Apple in a long time and I am loving it. Competition is good for all of us. You will be one of the Pioneers in all that, so how cool is that? You still have to go through the hand test with the EVO. Yeah, hopefully the camera thing gets addressed in the Droid 2.2 release. The bumper thing was funny, don't make me sit you in a corner, I don't want to have to pull rank on you! hehehe
This looks good. Seems to me the HDMI is something that the Apple is missing. Seemed very customizeable but the whole feel made me almost dizzy. Watching my wife do her stuff on her iPhone seems 'easier'. Thats just how it looks to me from watching. Once she has done hogging it, I will ask if I could 'borrow' it for a bit. I know the Mac 'looks easy' when I see people use it but the UI feels clunky to me when I try it myself so I don't want to get suckered in to the same trap. This Droid is another Droid that is not available in Canada.
My wife wants the white iphone4 with a pink bumper! I won't be borrowing her phone anytime soon... I hope the white ones are available soon so we can get it for her, but the all glass phone still makes me nervous. A squaretrade warranty will make me feel better though. I would NEVER want a bumper on my phone, but she seems to like the look so the antenna issue probably won't be a problem for her. I can't wait for the DroidX! I just wish I could take a sick day or something. Not the optimal week to start a new assignment at work. I am hoping to be able to sneak in late wednesday night or early thursday morning with an order. It just better show up on the verizon corporate site for my wifes company! No discount = no Droid! Those videos really have me excited though.
OH come on now Prop, you know you want to borrow your wife's white iPhone with the pink bumper! LOL Well I am excited for you bro! Enjoy your new toy!
Hey for a women that does look pretty damn sexy! You with your manly Droid X and your wife with her girly iPhone 4 and Pink Bumper, sounds like a pair made in Heaven!
Yet again. I feel your pain. Mrs Hectic has a red PT Cruiser. If that wasn't bad enough, the license plate spells out Wonder Woman. . . . It's so emasculating when I have to drive it to Home Depot. . . .
I can seem them becoming collectively the market leader. The chief competitor is only available on one provider and that will impose a limit on the sales as long as that restricion is in place.
Its different up here. The 2 big providers each have the iPhone. They have less Android selection (the phones I want are not stocked and have no plans to be stocked). Its mainly Blackberry's and the iPhone. Interesting side note. The Bell store I went to had 0 iPhones on display. I asked and they had them. They said they could not display it because Apple would not allow the iPhone to be displayed on the same display as other phones. And since the special stand alone displays that Bell uses are on back order, they can't display the phone. They are selling strictly by word of mouth.

Triple jumper Renjith Maheswary was the only Indian athlete to win gold as the Asian Grand Prix circuit wound up with the third leg here on Monday.
Neither P. Kunhumohammed nor M.R. Poovamma could reproduce their previous form as they settled for second places in the 400m races in the men and women's sections.
Among the other Indians, Sinimole Paulose (2:03.34) in the 800m, and Mayookha Johny (6.50m) in long jump also took silver medals.
Mayookha produced her best in the circuit but that was not good enough to beat Filipino veteran Marestella Torres who won with 6.62m. M.A. Prajusha (5.81m) was eighth.
Mayookha is still looking for the Olympic qualification standard of 6.65m. So, too, are the other Indians who competed in the three meets.
Renjith, who had won the second leg in Kanchanaburi, with a jump of 16.61m, could manage only 16.46m on Monday, into a headwind of 1m/s.
The other Indian, Arpinder Singh who took the silver last time with 16.57m, came third with only 15.85m. Roman Valiyev of Kazakhstan was second with 16.13m.
Poovamma, who had won the first two legs in 52.94s and 53.01s, clocked 53.50s, coming behind Iran's Maryam Toosi who timed 53.44s.
The Iranian had finished second in both the previous legs. Saraswati Sundaram (55.07s) came fourth.
Kunhumohammed who clocked a personal best 46.14s in Kanchanaburi timed 46.44s while coming second behind Iranian Sajad Hashemiahan (46.31s).
Sajeesh Joseph, winner in the first leg, came second like the last one, in the men's 800m which produced a new champion in Iraqi Adnan Taees (1:49.79), the silver medallist in the last Asian Games.
In a slow race, Joseph could manage only an ordinary 1:49.96 compared to his two previous efforts of 1:47. Ghamanda Ram was third in 1:50.06.
Long jumper Ankit Sharma (7.37m), bronze winner in the previous leg, was fifth, javelin thrower Rohit Kumar (69.12m) was also fifth while woman high jumper Sahana Kumari (1.83m) who had won a medal each in the previous meets, ended up fourth.
The Indian longer relay teams won again, in both sections, as they have been doing through the circuit, but against mediocre opposition these wins were of little significance.
The timings, too, turned out to be poorer than in the previous leg with the Indian men clocking 3:10.57 and the women 3:38.22, neither of any use towards Olympic qualification, the purpose for which the teams had been entered here.
In fact, the 4x400m relay events were late inclusions in the circuit at the request of India, which was hoping that its second-string team in the women's longer relay in particular would clock a decent timing that could come in handy for qualification.
The Indian men's 4x100m team came fifth in 39.56s while the women's sprint relay team finished third and last in 49.06s.

Easy transportation to Rome city center via Ottavia train stop, though it takes 20-30 minutes. The place itself was beautiful and had excellent facilities. The staff were nice enough to upgrade me to a bigger room because no one else had booked. I'd definitely recommend this to someone who wants a quiet, comfortable, peaceful stay in Rome.

Ridiculously comfortable bed. Very cute and lovely couple that owns the place and will do anything to make their guests feel comfortable. They even sent us away with an authentic Italian plate as a parting gift. Everything clean. Will have to metro 20-40 mins to get to anything central, but the place makes up for the journey and Rome is huge so this is a pretty decent location. Internet was only available in public areas and was very slow, but other than that we had a fabulous stay!

Administrative/Biographical history:
This firm of stockbrokers was founded in c 1870 by William John Galloway and Cyrus Tom Pearson as Galloway & Pearson, with offices at 75 Old Broad Street. The founding families continued to be represented amongst the partners until the late 1950s.
A service company, Gallus Services Limited, was established in 1979 to acquire all the fixed assets of the partnership and to provide the services required to maintain the stockbroking business. In 1984, Galloway and Pearson (and Gallus Services Limited) merged with WICO (W. I. Carr, Sons and Company (Overseas) Limited) to form WICO Galloway and Pearson Limited. WICO was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exco International plc, who subsequently acquired a 29.9% stake in the new firm with an option to purchase the remaining 70.1%
Galloway and Pearson had premises: 75 Old Broad Street (1870-81); 3 Drapers' Gardens (1882-1910); 3 Drapers' Gardens and Warnford Court (1911 only) then 27G Throgmorton Street (1911-35); 1 London Wall Buildings and 27G Throgmorton Street (to 1940) then Warnford Court (1936-41); Warnford Court (1942-83); Warnford Court and 29 Throgmorton Street (1984).

Listen To Your Mother
6 / 7
She is always right, you know. When she told you for the umpteenth time to put away the toy you were playing with before getting out a new one, she said it knowing that some day you'd be sharing equipment in a gym. She knew that a guy much bigger than you wouldn't appreciate you leaving two 20-pound weight plates on the leg press, or that a gal in the zone might get annoyed by your stability ball rolling toward her downward dog. And Mom's gentle reminder to put things back where you found them will come in handy when you're returning the 15-pound dumbbells you removed from the rack—between the 12s and the 20s so the next person knows exactly where to find them.

Summer calls for squeaky clean hair. Hair experts part with know-how on care for your crowning glory
Hair care during the summer is a daily, losing battle. True, the Malayali woman is bestowed with gorgeous curly tresses. But when humidity reaches its peak, there's frizziness to add to the grime which doesn't help at all. Some of the city's hair experts reveal how to improve your hair care regime.
"Retaining moisture is the key to keeping hair hydrated in such weather. A sweaty scalp can produce flaky dandruff," says Girija Satheesh, supervisor, Tulips Beauty Parlour. "So shampoo your hair every day as part of a cleansing routine, especially if you've been outdoors. But follow it up on a weekly basis with toning and conditioning, just like you tone and moisturise your face." Tea water is a good toner and a conditioner, she says: "Malt vinegar is another toner, four to five drops of which can be added to the last wash." She suggests avoiding detergent-based shampoos.
Applying serum
Serum, though not a new product anymore, is still the best bet for those who want a shiny, moisturised look for the hair. Hair stylist Viji of Fair Professional Hair Designers reveals the best way to apply serum so that it doesn't weigh down the hair: "Put 10 drops on a flat brush and comb it through. This will spread the serum evenly and only on the hair. Serum is not for the scalp."
Viji says it is the crown that is at maximum risk of sun damage: "So opt for a hair mask treatment or use shampoos and conditioners which provide moisturising. A smoothening shampoo will help retain at least 10-15 percent moisture. The effect should last a few days." He, however, emphasises the need to choose products of a good brand.
As hair makeovers involving smoothening and straightening are the norm nowadays, Girija maintains that most people fall behind on post-treatment care. Treated hair, she warns, will be damaged if not cared for the right way: "Shampoos and conditioners for coloured or treated hair available in the market should be used. Conditioning is very important." She also says a hair spa treatment can moisturise and reduce hair fall and split ends.
What's good about the summer is that it leaves the pores open, thereby promoting hair growth, says Girija. She adds: "It is the best time for a weekly hot oil treatment as it absorbs the oil and encourages hair growth. Dead hair falls off."
She also recommends henna treatment as it cools the scalp. "Just be sure to oil the hair first if it is prone to dryness as henna tends to make the hair dry," says Karthika Ajith who runs Strands Aroos Spa.
Customised treatments
She says there are a lot of takers for customised spa treatments because of the natural ingredients used to help condition the hair. "Most often, the pH balance is affected which leads to frizziness. Hot oil treatment is the most preferable course of action one can manage at home. Of course, lack of time is a major concern these days."
For those with time to spare, Girija offers a variety of DIY treatments: fenugreek soaked overnight and made into a paste, mixed with green gram powder is an effective shampoo.
Coconut oil and almond oil mixed in equal quantities and massaged onto the scalp is an effective treatment for the summer.
At the end of the day, treatments, Karthika says, depend on one's hair type: "Most hair problems arise from not using shampoos and conditioners properly or even overusing them." So perhaps this summer, it is time to have a heart-to-heart with your tresses.

Audio Amplifier without transistors or tubes?
Is it possible to build a small amp or a big amp without the need of any semiconductors or tubes? Just plain old coils, caps, Resistors or any homemade switching conductors. And here I have a mystery question, is it possible to change the impedance of a coil by disturbing it with a other magnetic field or something? Like in a transformer I think this project will be must easier to build then my Transmitters without transistors or Tubes Transmitters without transistors or Tubes check out a picture of a MJ2955 Transistor slashed open |

I have seen from a '60s magazine a schem of a 1kW switching amplifier which uses special switching diodes and trasformers.
it does use semiconductors but no transistors or tubes. |

Hi, jacquesl
Why do you want to advoid transistor/tubes? I'm not allergic to transistors, but still looking for a more linear transistor (if possible, have linearity like simple plain resistor supplied with current ) I'm not thinking about how to do it, but from the word "Amplifier" it means a device to "amplify". How do you make an "amplifier" without a device to "amplify" anything? |

Jacquesl, this time you may be lucky, check out magnetic amplifiers, there is a scan of a book on this here:http://www.pmillett.com/tecnical_books_online.htm
For me the past is not over yet. |

Yo, thanks heater, this is some ultra good stuff man.
Do you think magnetic amplifiers can deliver some good quality sound and the other part will it cause some serous magnetic interferences with my other stuff, like to give some free bad sectors to my Hard drives and cause my TV to change the image to weird shapes and colours |

Not quite transformers, but there are relays. I suppose one could build a very-low-frequency class D amp using relays instead of transistors. |

I dont know if relays will do the job It probably depends on the load, It will make some serous noise like click click click click and it will cause a interference on the TV and on AM radio it will act like a spark gap transmitter.

Yip your 100% correct. Well lets start a project like this and see if we can out perform the transistor and maybe come up with a new technology and maybe we can win a Nobel prize one day

Death of 3-Year-Old Leads to Questions Parents Need to Ask
Shands hospital says it's their fault that a three year old boy died in their care. Sebastian Ferrero got more than ten times the prescribed dosage of the amino acid arginine. The error cost Ferrero his life.
But the mistake has been made before. Two months before, another boy received a dangerous dose of arginine. Kaleb Mayberry's doctor recommended a routine growth hormone stimulation test, however the results were not routine at all. The boy's mother Jessica Mayberry explained, "In his file, he was described as having a mild headache. I don't know what part of writhing on the floor and screaming my head is on fire is mild, but that enraged me."
And what these two cases tragically highlight is the need for solutions to preventing human error in the medical system. While it was mistakes that caused these two families much grief the cases have stirred up questions over the treatment.
Some children are not as big as their friends and there are times when parents decide to find out if there is a medical reason for it. While testing for a deficiency in human growth hormone, this near-fatal case and one death have given parents pause to ask some key questions about their children's health.
Dr. Donald Novak of Shands at a press conference on October 25, offered the following, "...we are terribly sorry that this happened..."
Those are the solemn words of a public apology Shands gave Luisa and Horst Ferrero. The death of their son Sebastian has again stirred questions over the use of growth hormone therapy for children.
Dr. David Katz of Yale Univesity's medical research center says that growth hormone therapy has both the potential to do good as well as harm. In an interview with TV20 today Katz, said, "Any hormone therapy is potentially quite dangerous, because you're manipulating the inner workings of the body."
Even the best intentions of parents can end with the worst results as Mayberry's parents learned. "When you're a mother, you're your child's advocate. so it's up to me to look out in his interest, he really hates being small," said Mayberry.
Katz says a child who is shorter than expected may not be growing as anticipated signifying a hormonal imbalance. However, Katz adds, "If there isn't an abnormality, there are other things can be used to maximize growth, a healthy diet, exercise,...just the basic activities of healthy living."
It's up to medical professionals to determine whether your child's size is far from normal -- or if their situation warrants medical testing. Katz says there are key questions parents need to ask. "Is this the expected healthy growth rate for this child? Or is something potentially wrong and should we investigate that?"
The Ferrero's never got beyond testing for abnormalities in Sebastian's growth hormone levels. "This is simply the case where the dose makes the error in the dosing of arginine led to a tragic and fatal mistake," added Katz.
The Institute of Medicine published a report in 2001 about human error in medicine --and found that it is a leading cause of death in the United States.

The Death and More Still of the Malignant Man
At its heart, Malignant Man is not a horror comic. Nor does it try to be. It's a dark thriller that combines action, suspense and a bit of fun into a tale that ends up reminding as a combination of The Matrix and Alien. But…

I just brought a ZTE racer and love it! Basically I downloaded snesoid lite on it but it doesnt support multitouch. Is this because its the lite version or is it the version on android or is it just my handset model? :S Any help appreciated.
Zte Racer has multitouch. I know that Snesoid lite does not. (I'm reading reviews and since it does not work on my HTC EVO) Not 100% sure if you get multitouch in the full version.
I take it the 'multitouch' means being able to touch many points on the screen or in this case being able to run and jump pressing 'B' and '>'. I know the lite one's controls when trying to run and jump makes Mario duck and move to the right!? Zte Racer I can't be sure the Racer with the resistive screen has multitouch?
A solution to this, googled your phone and saw it has extra buttons. Just assign the SNES controller buttons to those and keep the D-pad on your screen, I do it this way (remember, the volume rockers are also there ). - Baggy, yeah there's an app just search for it in the marketplace it's called simple wiimote. Tried it today, works fine
Hey guys did you know that i can get dual touch on my racer?? its soo cool... i can pinch and zoom and everything after compiling a few components and now there is a dowload for everyone!! on android.modaco.com, register and search zte racer and find the dual touch mods!!!

BECHSTEIN C. Bechstein manufactures world class grand and upright pianos since 1853
The Academy series of pianos is manufactured in Seifhennersdorf, Saxony.
Bechstein, instruments of the highest standard, have their own timbre, individual depth and an unmistakable character. Pianists rave about the grand pianos that they like to play. Bechstein opens a world of colour, an array of nuances. Musicians seek just such variety of color. Again and again, this aspect is emphasized in the selection of grand pianos. At the same time, the "Bechstein sound possesses a distinctive transparency. Celebrated piano duos also value this characteristic, to avoid blurring the many-layered aspects of such a complex musical presentation. Bechstein provides a balance in the tone registers. A strong, full-bodied, but not overweighted bass, a supportive, lyrical mid-range, and a singing treble
Bechstein A190

Lovely Ljubljana!!!!
Trip Start
May 16, 2006
Trip End
Aug 15, 2006
This is considered Eastern Europe but it feels more Continental. The Slovenians are very hip, stylish, and bohemian. There are lots of old buildings but the are a few new modern buildings. Some of the renovations have a modern twist to them as well.
Today I spent the day touring. Went to the Castle on the hill and climbed the tower, I visited a couple of churches and the University library. Other than that I have just walked the city.
It seems like all day i have been pulling my pants up. When i left Charlotte these shorts were a bit tight. I would recommend to any of you go on the European diet plan. I have been gone a month now and have only had 3 sodas. One order of french fries. Breakfast and lunch usually consist of fruit and some sort of sandwich. My big meal is dinner. And of course lots of walking!
Well I am going to run, I will tell you more about Slovenia later!

The black and white photos that fill the screen at the start of Neighboring Sounds (O som ao redor) call up a history at once personal and collective, possessing and possessed by the northeastern Brazilian city of Recife. A family stares into the camera, an old woman gives an interview, her face gaunt and poster straight, a group of workers stand with tools raised high, their sandals and hats indicating they toil in heat, perhaps in the fields that appear in some shots that follow, and likely not in the fine homes that loom in others.
Visual and sound effects reveal how surveillance and expectations of same have altered our understanding of the world and our place in it. The movie goes on to link past and present, interrogate class divides, and consider how the idea of space—domestic, communal, private, public—is changing. While one neighbor is anxious about how the sounds she's been hearing (a dog barking, traffic) infiltrate her quiet space, another worries about more physical incursions, with thefts on the rise and boundaries broken. The film shows that space is never quite contained, that safety cannot be guaranteed, that no one lives in one realm only.
Neighboring Sounds opens for one week in Los Angeles at Cinefamily, April 5-11.

Product: Antec P150 Quiet PC Case Date: March 23, 2006 Author: Bob Buskirk Edited By: Ashley Donaldson Provided By: Antec Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Discussion: Discuss in Forums
Well we all know Antec and we know they are known for good quality cases. I honestly believe that they are one of the best case manufacturers out there today. There are so many extra features in their cases that people take for granted. Today we will be taking a look at another great case from Antec. It has tons of features and it's one of the coolest cases I have seen in a while. The case I'm talking about is the Antec P150 Quiet PC Case; it's from Antec's performance one series which features such great cases as the P160 and P180. So let's take a look.
First Looks
Well just like all cases the P150 comes in a nice colorful box. The back has a picture of the inside of the case and all of the features so you know exactly what you are buying.
Upon opening the box I was surprised to see a cardboard covering on top of the case. Usually we see Styrofoam. Maybe the cardboard protects the case better. Taking the cardboard off the P150 is covered in plastic for added protection. On top of the case is the instruction manual and warranty.
