RSA Conference

By Claudia Ciobanu and Servaas van den Bosch
COPENHAGEN (IPS/Terra Viva) – Fed up with the lack of progress in the climate negotiations, campaigners marched on the Bella Centre. NGOs at the negotiations staged a walkout to connect with civil society outside, but police violently broke up this 'people's assembly' and arrested the ringleaders.
A morning of protest started around 10.30 at the Bella Centre with a sit-in of ninety members of international environmental NGO Friends of the Earth (FOE), who despite having access passes to the conference venue were excluded for security reasons.
"This is a militarisation of the conference," said Friends of the Earth chairmen Nnimmo Bassey. "Copenhagen is a city under siege."
UNFCCC Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer, who came to speak to protesters, admitted that accreditation had been withdrawn because of indications FoEI would try to break out of the centre to meet protesters outside.
Just after De Boer agreed to negotiate with the activists, hundreds of indigenous people marched through the Bella Centre towards the exit beating drums and chanting "Join the people's assembly!", "Claim power now!" and "Respect the rights of indigenous people!"
"We demand the rights of indigenous people be respected in this agreement," said a protester from Mexico, Maria Sanchez from Mexico. "The Kyoto protocol must be respected and developed nations must lower their emissions."
Police in riot gear arrived outside the Bella Centre in massive numbers and prevented the indigenous people from joining the People's Assembly outside the Bella Centre. The 'people's assembly' was declared illegal despite having been granted a permit earlier.
Outside, helicopters hovered overhead and wounded cops were carried away behind the barricades, police stormed the truck from where organisers were rallying the protesters.
"Come help us now, the police are getting in," screamed one organiser through the speakers before he was silenced and loaded into a police van.
The protest caused chaos at the Bella Centre's entrance which was immediately sealed off for security reasons. Ministers and diplomats were stuck in the waiting crowd. Journalists rushing to the scene of the protest were turned away.
Reporter Jose Siles from A-TV in Spain was arrested when he tried to get inside. "They are hurting me," he cried out in pain when dragged away by Danish police. "I have done nothing wrong, this is not a democracy."
Inside the Bella Centre, journalists were barred from covering the ongoing sit-in in an attempt to isolate the protesters.

Mercedes 190E Replacement Brake Pads Information
Trust in the fine construction of genuine Mercedes car designs for impressive efficiency. Protection and reliability are important for Mercedes, a trusted vehicle company which strives for excellence. Supercharged sets of wheels, like the high-octane Mercedes 190E, were meant to be strained past their limits, but afterwards given a maintenance pass. Mercedes creates cars that are made to ensure high performance, and the 190E doesn't deliver as meant by the designers without top-quality OEM and aftermarket parts. Today's well-informed vehicle owners like you get how to turbocharge the performance of their Mercedes 190E by replacing old parts with performance-maximizing auto parts. The Mercedes in your carport was created with care and expertise; it ought to have replacement components of a similar top level of reliability. Tragic collisions can sometimes be a risk of owning a car or truck, but drivers can mitigate the odds of having a disastrous accident simply by purchasing and maintaining your safety systems such as signal lights or brakes. The police department requires your vehicle to possess all required safety-oriented components, including working lights and brakes - circumvent traffic tickets or, even worse, collisions by purchasing all the correct gear. As the brake pedal is applied, the Mercedes 190E Brake Pads push together with the brake rotor and the motive energy of your car is transformed into heat energy. Slowing a moving car or truck uses a number of components cooperating together - the pedal, rotors, fluid lines and Mercedes 190E Brake Pads. As the brakes are used, friction wears away the car's Mercedes 190E Brake Pads and they must finally be changed - hopefully long before the non-replaceable components begin to show damage. Your Mercedes represents an important investment that you should defend with the best parts. Our premium accessories and customer support give you a wonderful combination of reasonable price, availability and outstanding quality. If there are any concerns about our accessories, our customer support team members can be reached by telephone or by e-mail - with the usual top-notch commitment to the customer!

Ok. What have you done so far since you were offered the job? Just RPP and physical? Any other paperwork or info you found out?
RPP and Physical. But should be hearing at least a month before they need us to start. So any day should be hearing something.
Nevermind, figured out my question
@StrengthBuilder - I would recommend you do the fire academy before doing your EMT. Especially if you don't already have the CAL FIRE basic firefighter cert, as most units do not put this class on anymore and you need it to get hired. Also most units do the required medical training as part of their new hire and returnee academy's. I hope this helps!
@StrengthBuilder - My goal is also to get on with Cal fire for the 2014 season if not the 2015 season. I will be working on becoming an EMT through my local community college starting in September. Where are you located? I have found a FF academy here in San Jose that includes the Cal fire 80 hour cert. They have an academy starting July. They meet Saturdays/Sunday with 2 weekend nights a month. It does require a little bit of driving because their training location is in Hollister. They have come highly recommended by some friends who work for the San Jose Fire Department.
PM me if you have any questions.
@StrengthBuilder and @ FF14
I know most academies require you to have some sort of medical training. The academies up here in Sacramento, require you to possess an EMT-B before applying for the fire academy. I dont know how far you are willing to travel, but in Modesto, Abrams College does a EMT program every FRI SAT Sun from 8am-6pm ( even though its rare to stay until 6). And its those three days a week for 5 weeks. The instructor in charge of the program, Bob Strain, is a former Paramedic/Firefighter with Folsom Fire Dept, he has a lot of great personal stories, as well as, keywords to help you remember important key things to help with the NREMT. I remember when I took it, I dreaded driving an hour and a half every fri sat and sunday for 5 weeks. But after a while it really wasnt that bad. The only thing, is its $800 but well worth it if you need your emt fast in an accelerated program.
PM if you have any questions.
PS: I had my EMT when I got hired this year. But to get an interview with at least 5 or so units, you need AT LEAST: EMT, HAZMAT FRO, Confined Space Awareness, and the CAL FIRE 69 hour basic wildland firefighter cert. I am in the Mendocino unit, so if you have any questions or what not, feel free to hit me up.
I would do the fire academy for sure! Especially if you have your first responder! You only get 5 more points for being a EMT on your application. I'm almost done with the returnee academy in CZU then it's off to the races and our training captain said there's only a 5 point difference between EMT and EMR. By the way it Emergency Medical Responder not first responder. Good Luck!
@Gino_Galli: Thanks for the information. Question: So you got picked up with JUST your EMT none of the 69 hour, hazmat or confined space?
@SCCF_LPFR: I currently DO NOT have my Emergency First Responder yet. There is an academy that offers First responder in their academy up north (Shasta College Fire Academy). They do not require any medical certs to enter the academy accept healthcare CPR which I have already. This academy offers Haz Mats - DECON, Haz Mats - FRO, Haz Mats - WMD, along with 69 hour CalFire, first responder, fire control 1, 2 ,3, confined space rescue awareness and auto extrication and some others.
I am only able to do 1 semester of college at a time right now because I work for the Forest Service from May - October typically.
A part of me wants to just go get my EMT over with in spring of 2014 and try to apply for with CalFire for the 2014 season. Then if I don't get picked up, I would do another Forest service season, comeback and do my academy and have all the 69 hour CalFire etc for the 2015 CalFire season application.
How many points are the other boxes on the app worth? (The Calfire 67 hour, HAZMAT, Rescue awareness, First Responder etc)
I have my Emt-B, CALFIRE 69 hour basic wildland cert, HAZMAT FRO, confined space awareness. I have other certificates, including FF1, and almost done with my Bachelors of Science degree in Fire Science. I also volunteer for CALFIRE in roseville ( Its Placer County Fire, but in Co-op with CALFIRE). So that means we have fulltime and seasonal staff at the station all the time, as well as, CAL FIRE all over out gear, trucks, tshirts, etc). That helped a lot for sure.
I will still probably apply next year, even though I won't have the fire academy.
Yeah definitely go through the academy. Some CAL FIRE contract counties put you through a volunteer academy once or twice a week ( I know ours did if you didnt have a FF 1) where you get your CAL FIRE 69 hour basic wild land, HAZMAT FRO, Confined Space Rescue Awareness. If you did that, and got your emt at the same time, you have a good shot on getting a interview somewhere for sure. My buddy just had EMT, Confined Space, HAZMAT FRO, and the 69 hour cert and got interviews in Tehama Glenn, Humboldt, Mendocino, Amador El Dorado. He didnt apply to all northern, and no southern units. So you never know, but the more you can get, the better off you are.
No the rehires did there academy last week, new hire academy is June 10th. Thats when I start. What did you want to know about the academy? I know a couple guys who just went through the rehire one.
The rehires got called in earlier. The new hire academy is June 10th. What did you want to know about the academy? I had a couple friends who just went through out rehire academy.
We are starting the new hire academy June 10th. The returnees had thiers last week. What questions did you have? I had a couple buddies go through the returnee academy.
Skills testing... I know some units do some different variations of the skills testing down here they did the progressive hose lay as an un-timed event just curious if they are doing that in any of the units up north, also are they using wajax or cotton hose and are they enforcing the pull at the hip method or are they allowing them to do the standard over the shoulder? oh and on the 20 ft ladder what are they doing for the shorter people who physically cant extend the last rung due to height? I know over here they waived it for some people but I'm 5'3 and I'm not working down south this year
I will check for you. The hose is probably wajax, they havent used cotton in a while. From what I heard, Progressive hoselays, they are starting to get rid of the one person progressive hoselay and going to two or three person, so it may not be timed. As for the ladder, I would assume, if height wont let you extend to the last rung, I am sure they wont count that against you. The over the hip method is the new method, but I believe over the shoulder is way easier. I think it will be over the hip though. I will try and find out, and keep you posted.
yeah some units still use cotton for testing purposes I know in my ff1&2, 67 and new hire we used cotton but I heard lake napa is using wajax and the over the hip method -- something I'll definitely have to practice but yeah let me know what you find out, thanks gino!
yeah definitely. Our new hire academy got bumped up to June 3rd.
We start the 27th for LNU ;)
...late hire/new hire academy
Also LNU is going to peak staffing this Monday the 20th.
Nice. Yeah from what I was told, over the hip and over the shoulder can be considered correct, it just depends on who you are doing it with. If you can practice both, I did last night at my volunteer station training and its not a big difference. But the CALFIRE paid staff at my volunteer station ( Its a CALFIRE contract county- Nevada Yuba Placer) they were saying do whats comfortable for you, but over the shoulder you can slip and lose the hose and knock out your teeth. So keep that in mind.
Yeah I also tried with my volunteer station... I've always done over the shoulder but the hip method wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, I also forgot to put in the tee at 200 feet lol hopefully I don't forget next time!
yeah our hose packs already have tee's on them every 100 ft. That way, we never forget and we can connect more lines if needed.

I am not sure what the words Divine Providence mean but my guess is Deer Tick would be interested in promoting this. So Deer Tick is embarking on a tour modeled after an election campaign. This comes complete with yardsigns that are available here. They will give an unreleased MP3 to fans who post pictures of the yardsigns on the band's facebook. The MP3 we posted is on Deer Tick's ep Tim which a limited 200 copy pressing 10 inch will be available at the band's shows and here.
Also of note is that Deer Tick's allies, Diamond Rugs which is 2 Deer Tick dudes plus a dude from Black Lips plus a dude from Dead Confederate plus a dude from Six Finger Satallite plus a dude from LOS LOBOS has a new song over on the Rolling Stone website.

why would a "local" stay in a hotel? (unless, of course, his wife was home...)
Russia is a peculiar case. There's literally no affordable and reasonable lodging for a domestic traveler. Very small, almost negligible domestic tourism. The transportation grid is so underdeveloped that in most cases travelers from remote town have to travel through Moscow (overloading the city's infrastructure) just to get from A to B within Russia, sometimes literally flying over their destination. The lack of affordable lodging is both one of the reasons and a consequence of people's low mobility.
Most local people when traveling within Russia wouldn't even consider a hotel cause it's off their budget - they resort to friends and relatives, however distant they may be. There are of course, dorms and guesthouses remaining from the Soviet times, but those are either restricted to members of certain groups, or have become so unsafe that it would be unwise to stay there. This is a sad state of afairs, but it also offers a huge opportunity for a daring investor.
At least in the case of China, room prices are more affordable than this chart represents. While I'm sure these averages are correct, China has a larger range of room prices since there are no public safety standards. While traveling in Devon, England I was unable to find a room for under $120/night. Even in rural America, it is difficult to find a room for under $60. Throughout China, however, you can easily stay in a room with a squat toilet and black mold on the bathroom floor for less than $15.
In the West, a lower class worker is only allowed to purchase a room at the minimum of government health and safety standards, which can be quite expensive. In China, the larger range of price and quality ensures that there are hotels for everyone.
what are the kind of hotels surveyed here?
there is no common standard to classify hotels from every city in the world. this survey gives the impression that a 'local' never stays in a hotel in Delhi which is obviously very far from truth. of course by 'local' i interpret 'Indian'.
it is quite possible to find hotels less than $10-15, which are not too bad if all you want to do is stay alone for 2-3 days during night while you attend to your business during waking hours. if you are venturing with spouse (maybe including a kid too) you need not shell out more than double of that amount for slightly better ambiance. ask the many tourists who visit India, if you do not believe 'locals'.
so this survey gives a very wrong impression about 'Delhi', which should be correctly interpreted as 'India'. why they should want to do that is beyond my comprehension !!!
I expect these figures don't include a lot of hotels in some places. £140 ($218) per night might not be that far off the average in London, but I doubt 1200 yuan ($178) a night is typical in Beijing. I would guess 200 or so yuan (about $30) a night would be more normal for one of the huge number of commercial visitors to the capital. They will be staying in perfectly decent hotels by the way, but presumably ones that didn't make it into the survey.
Being cynical I suspect Hogg Robinson, travel agents, didn't want to include too many of the cheaper hotels in case companies started questioning staff travel expenses.
Just realised something.
Look at what ordinary businesses really pay for hotel rooms, and not the inflated prices quoted here, and you will find a room anywhere in the world costs 10 hours at the local wage. Russia might be the exception for reasons explained here in the comments, but it applies to London, Delhi and Beijing.
These kinds of surveys are completely and utterly misleading. You can get all kinds of cheap deals online for China, such as Holiday Inns for $50 or less. Sure, Delhi is expensive, because there is a chronic shortage of five star hotels in India. But the whole country is full of mid-range hotels for 1000-1500 rupees with satellite TV and air conditioning. These places are full of local Indian entrepreneurs and business people and the cost, around $20-$30 a night is around one-tenth of the ludicrous prices suggested here. The whole travel journalism industry is based around trying to sell these luxury properties, which are just a small segment of the market. It makes even less sense to compare business hotel prices against local earning power, as locals know where to get good deals, rarely stay in a hotel in their own city (why would you?) and in many countries pay less than foreign visitors for the same room.
You must be quoting the 'official' rates & that too for 5-Star accomodation.
Most cities in the East have good, clean & comfy 3-Star hotels going for a whole lot less than the rates quoted here. Even 4-Star hotels are available at discounted rates well below your numbers.
What's the news?
In any case the purpose of building hotels is normally to serve visitors and not 'locals'
Appears to be 4 star hotels. I don't know many businesses that let its workers stay in 4 star hotels. I'm capped at US$150.
If it were possible to include some information about income inequality, at least at the country level, half of the Economist's graphs will be much more revealing.
178$ a night for a room in Beijing? I live near the center of the city, and I only pay about 250$ a month for rent.
The readers' comments that berate the idea that a local person will stay in their local hotel are very dumb.
The survey merely sought to relate hotel rack rates to local wages. The writer of the article got a bit carried away suggesting that locals are regular patrons of their local 4 or 5 star hotel. And some readers swallowed the bait.
I think the Big Mac Index does a similar thing (as an extension of the basic comparison)relating prices to wages.
Hey, where is Canada?
Good game yesterday, though, eh?! :-)
@ sanjuro
We all agree that high hotel room rates in Moscow should be an incentive for investors. Question is, does it work and if not, why not? Has it become too expensive even for hotel chains to buy property or are there other barriers like extensive red tape or organised crime that puts investors off? Can any hotel-chain CEO offer an explanation?
The data is based on "research" by a corporate travel firm. One can expect a bias towards expensive hotels with a fat commission for travel agents. Seems higly selfserving to me. Guess what they will show their clients when they complain about the high prices: A chart published in the Economist proving just how expensive hotels are in Moscow and other expensive cities.
I used to visit Moscow many times between 1980 and 1992 when I had to pay
as a foreigner a much higher room rent and in hard currency than Russians
who were paying a very very low rate. Apparently, with the new Russian Republic
turning partially capitalist, the global market rates have now come to prevail.
But one would expect more hotels for different economic classes might be
expected to come, but why preclude the Russians to pay the same rates as
others if not lower.
Regarding hotels in Delhi (and in other Indian metros), the business class and
the new rich can afford to pay a high room rent. Even at that rate, the hotels
are full, not only rooms,but restaurants and halls for events. There was once
a wishful thinking that three and two star hotels to cater to the middle class
would be built to enable local and international tourism. But these were mere
As someone who lives in Delhi, the fact that it "tops" the list is not a surprise. Indian hotels are expensive, especially given the quality of the product outside the top end of the 5* segment. Unless and until this is addressed, the development of Indian tourism will be stunted. Add in the very high domestic airfares that often make it cheaper for Indians to vacation in Malaysia or Thailand than in Goa or Kerala, it is unsurprising that the sector is so undeveloped in so large a nation despite the many attractions available.
I'm from China and I agree that China's hotel is so unproportionately expensive for locals. eex argued that you can always find hotels you can afford in China, that may be true. BUT, if you compare the prices of hotels of comparable quality, then the Chinese hotel rates in first or second tier cities are generally very similar to those in western cities. The pay rate of an average professional in Beijing is only one fifth or less than one in, say, Perth. I have been outraged at the high rate of Chinese hotels. The hotel staff cost a lot less, land value is probably more or less similar, then why it should be so expensive? One reason might be that visiting western guests have pushed up the hotel rates in Chinese cities.
good graph, very interesting; good thing I no desire to visit any of the cities; it took about an hour to breathe after exiting the Delhi airport in 2007

I called the reporter, Adam Rodriguez, to explain that last year in New Jersey the leaves turned fall color and fell off early too, and not from heat - it was a cool, wet summer - but because they are losing chlorophyll due to damage from exposure to toxic greenhouse gas emissions. I hope he does a follow-up!

I called the reporter, Adam Rodriguez, to explain that last year in New Jersey the leaves turned fall color and fell off early too, and not from heat - it was a cool, wet summer - but because they are losing chlorophyll due to damage from exposure to toxic greenhouse gas emissions. I hope he does a follow-up!

Your observations remind me of a comment made by James Lovelock in one of his books. From his holiday home in Ireland he noted a continuous decline in atmospheric clarity over a period of years, due to pollution. At the time he was apparently the only person to alert the public of this. Of course this decline is widely acknowledged today.
So it took a single determined & inquisitive observer to record what thousands of scientists & others seemed to miss or chose not to widely advertise. I suspect you are on the right track with your observations, & the lack of feedback you receive should not be taken as in any way disproving your case.
Having said that, here in New`Zealand I have not, as an amateur observer, seen any systematic decline in tree growth over the past decade. This might be explained by the overall cleanliness of the air, which carries fewer aerosols & has less tropospheric ozone etc - Lovelock had also noted the dramatic increase in air clarity on crossing the equator into the Southern hemisphere. Apparently there is quite a lot of decoupling of atmospheric circulation between the hemispheres, although the CO2 level is the same everywhere I think.
This might reinforce your arguments about the effects of ozone &/or acid rain - these will be elevated in the Northern mid-latitudes due to the pollution from Europe, the US, China etc. See http://www.niwa.co.nz/our-science/climate/news/all/ozone-recovery-a-good-news-and-bad (this links to some useful maps of world ozone distribution).Thank you so much for your encouragement and the terrific link! It's amazing to me how matter-of-factly scientists will state that ozone harms human health, harms vegetation, and lowers agricultural crop productivity. It seems we are willing to accept a certain amount of collateral damage in order to buy more stuff, and refuse to make the obvious connections between the industrial lifestyle and, say, childhood cancer.
That is very interesting about climate change making stratospheric ozone descend, I had not seen that before. Also the norther/southern latitude difference.

Noticed your comment at http://scienceblogs.com/builtonfacts/2009/09/wifi_and_radiation.php led to from a comment at http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/barrie-parents-demand-schools-turn-off-wi-fi/article1673535/ where i as "deever" am engaged in an almost one-man stand against all comers re the dangers of wireless.
Do you know about Volkrodt's et al warnings about 20 years ago, esp. based on radar effects? On my very property at est. 200m from a newly broadcasting 2.1 something gHz cell mast half a Norway is dead, half just fine, latter leeside to that mast. This kind of thing is occurring all over Toronto where I am. A limit has been reached for pulsed microwave tolerance for some species, and we're in big trouble.
So much to share with perceptive people like you -- how many have even clued in to what you are noticing? Feel free to email me at ck872 AT sympatico.ca . I have been in contact with umpteen Ontario foresters -- the problem is just as Volkrodt had it, there is an aversion to looking into physics for descriptions, they all incline to biochemistry & climate reference.
I have photos as well. Deformed leaf tips on grape & pear, dying otherwise robust rose. All in plume of the new cell mast. It is hard to map out because of varying susceptibilities,just as for people. I could show you an oak grove decimated to leaflessness, and a stand of red maple where every other tree seems fine (for now).
In the middle of so much online activity at this moment to to continue here just now, but we need to compare notes.

Phase Linear 400, SERIOUS AC!
Anyone have any idea's on this - A Phase Linear 400, Series 2.
with pure AC for output? I tried replacing the power supply caps, the bridge rectifier replaced, and has all new matched outputs, per stock. Brought up on a variac, ac output begins around 15volts, and by 50 volts or so, is shaking any speaker hooked up to it pretty close to distruction. It doesn't make sense to me, as the AC component should be pretty well filtered out, if nothing else. It actually seems like you're hooking a speaker directly to an AC wall outlet. Thoughts? |

well ...not really
it could be a couple of things
for once sothing is seriouslly wrong with the amplifier and of course you dont mains ac out ..... you get audio signal ..... it could be just a ground missing from your plugs so of course you get 50hz out noise that could easilly foul you for ac.... to determine what exactly this is you need a scope .... if your so called AC is controled by the volume knob then is not ac ...its audio .... then might be also something wrong with the amp and is ocilating modulated to 50 hz !!!!..... the chance that any cable melted in you have mains AC in the out for me is one in a billion best regards sakis

No volume control on a Phase Linear 400, maybe on the Series II, dunno.
Probably you have a shorted output device or a few. Remove the fuses that are on the back, and see if one or more is blown. No blown fuses, and not drawing too much power from the wall (variac and ammeter on the line are a good idea), then short the inputs and try again. Also with the amp off check the continuity between the ground of the speaker outs and the ground of each input RCA. Should be a dead short reading. Then check between the center pin of the each RCA (power off) and ground, both should read something in the kohm region, both the same. A shorted output device and or driver will draw a ton of current and pull the PS into big ripple, which = AC hum... _-_-bear

No input connections, no signal applied. AC being 50/60 cycle output at the speaker terminals. Not a missing ground.
50 Htz. oscillation? Is that possible? I have signal generators, oscilliscopes, etc., and know how to use them, but my background is in RF, and I'm used to seeing oscillations in mhz., not 2 digits. Clearly I'll be learning something new here. Thanks for having responded! |

Hello all,
Low freq oscillation is more common to tube amps but can be in solid state. It is known as motor boating. I'm thinking the old Phase Linear 400 had some kind of weird darlington affair in the outputs and dont like being run into no load . Maybe someone ha s a schematic and some experience troubleshooting these, however the most likely cause is a leaky cap being as how these were early 70's amps and are aged like me. Regards, Elwood

got scope - check for DC offset first.
the previous post also has good insight. RF is the same as audio, just lower freq, turn the timebase dial on ur scope. Class A or AB not C. _-_-bear

hello again...
Go back to the begining check your p/s at the filter cap look for a/c component(a schematic would be nice),maybe an open/shorted diode in the bridge rectifier. some amps have separate p/s for opamps, in which case p/s diodes and filter caps are suspect ck for same. good luck... Regards, Elwood

Remove any onboard fuses (O/P stages) before switching on and winding up the variac, then check your DC supply rail voltages are present and correct. I assume the problem existed before the Bridge rectifier was replaced ? SandyK |

The idea's and suggestions are coming so fast, i'm having a hard time reading up on everything. Thanks to all!
How do I measure the DC offset? I'm starting to consider just replacing every single component on the input and driver board? In response to a few posts - The problem existed prior to rectifier replacement. I assumed(naively) that the power supply caps were the cause, as there was some obvious leakage. I replaced the bridge rectifier just because it was old, and I was already in there and had a new one in my parts bin. I replaced the original outputs with new Motorola MJ 15024 as a couple of the originals had some funny junction readings, although no shorts. Again, I had these parts already. I believe the power supply components, and all outputs and drivers mounted to the heatsink are 100%. The inputs measure the same resistance, roughly 30k, AMP OFF, and the grounds are good. That leaves some 40 misc. diodes, resistors, and transistors, along with 2 opamps to look at. This is a Series 2 amp. and the only schematic I have available is for a series 1. They are not really very similar. So, I'm now reading up on DC offsets. One problem is the dearth of electronics suppliers in my area anymore. 10 years ago, we had 9 electronics dealers. 5 years ago, we had 4 suppliers. Today, only one, and it's all surplus, and pulls, if the "shack" isn't included, of course. Sign of the times I guess. |

Sometimes you find a product that's just too beautiful not to share. It may be out of your price range, you may not ever expect to own it but there is a pleasure in just looking and appreciating the design, the craftsmanship, the creativity and, in this case, the colors! So, just for fun (no one's stopping you from purchasing also!), visit http://orbixhotglass.com/catalog/index.html [1] I like the curly pitchers. But then I also like the opaque curly pitchers, the optic pitchers, the mini raisin bottles. The colors say summer but they may be even better when summer is long gone and you want to hold on to its brightness. So just take a 5 minute walk through the website and smile. That's what I did…

Wing Lei Restaurant Review: The view of its garden with 100-year-old pomegranate trees and a Botero sculpture outside Wing Lei's wall-to-wall picture window provides an elegant ambience for this Chinese restaurant. There's also a pedigree --- Wing Lei's English translation is "forever prosperous." The extensive menu includes a two-course Peking duck dinner with table-carved roasted duck, steamed buns, cucumber, scallions and hoisin sauce and diced duck in lettuce cups. From the à la carte choices, we like the crispy shrimp toast with green papaya salad and plum sauce. Sampan prawns served with crispy garlic, scallions and jalapeño; grilled sea bass accompanied by lotus root, enoki mushrooms, spinach and asparagus; and wok-fried Maine lobster with scallions, ginger and sherry sauce are also winners. Among popular side dishes are three cup eggplant and mapo tofu. Sesame crème brûlée and refreshing lychee sorbet are among sweet finales. The noteworthy wine list nicely complements the versatile cuisine. Wing Lei welcomes children aged five years and older. |

DALLAS – With the clock running down Friday night, junior guard Jason Conley attempted a 3-pointer from the right wing.
Similar to many of his other shots, the high-arching shot sailed long and bounced off the back of the rim. Conley, though, wasn't the only Tiger to unable to get in a rhythm in the Tigers' 94-69 loss to Kansas in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament in Dallas.
The Tigers shot a meager 34 percent a day after they made a Big 12 Tournament-record 60 percent of their shots in Thursday's win against Texas A&M.
"This was probably the worst game for this to happen, but it did," Conley said. "We were shooting it, and it just wasn't going in."
The Tigers finished the first half with 33 percent shooting, and their shooting did not improve much in the second half when they made 35 percent.
"We did the things we wanted to do, we got the shots we wanted to shoot," sophomore guard Jimmy McKinney said. "The shots just weren't falling. It was just that night. We came out great; we were making shots at the beginning of the game."
After a quick start which allowed the Tigers a 26-14 lead with 9:03 left, the Jayhawks got their offense started, and the Tigers played against a set defense for the rest of the game. Against that set defense, they did not fair well.
The game plan called for senior center Arthur Johnson to get the bulk of the touches, similar to the most recent game against the Jayhawks. After Johnson exploded for a career-high 37 points on March 7, the Jayhawks elected to aggressively double and triple team Johnson whenever he touched the ball to counter him.
That response worked, for although Johnson again excelled against the Jayhawks diminutive interior, he needed 16 shots for 26 points.
In contrast, Jayhawks forward Wayne Simien scored a game-high 31 points on 12-of-14 shooting. Simien's 85.7 percent set a record for highest individual field goal percentage. He also tied the record for single-game scoring and field goals made.
As a result of the inferior shooting, the Tigers had several debilitating droughts that allowed the Jayhawks to control the game.
The first came with the Tigers leading 31-27. After Johnson scored with 5:47, the Tigers would not score for 4:30 until another Johnson basket. In that time, the Jayhawks erased their deficit.
In the second half, the Tigers had stretches of 2:17, 2:29 and 4:42 in which they did not make a field goal. During the longest spell, the score went from 53-46 in favor of the Jayhawks to 70-51. The 17-5 run all but ended the Tigers chances for a comeback.
Conley, senior guard Rickey Paulding and senior forward Travon Bryant struggled the most to find the range. Conley, who led the nation in scoring as a freshman at Virginia Military Institute, missed 9-of-11 shots. Paulding, who averages 15.5 points, missed 8-of-11. Bryant, who made 6-of-9 against the Aggies, also missed 8-of-11.
Coming into the game, Conley averaged 43 percent, Paulding made 40 percent and Bryant made 54 percent. Conley, who finished with five points, said he has had worse shooting games and can't let this troublesome evening hurt the Tigers' confidence.
"The only thing I can do now is keep working at it," Conley said.
Although the Tigers have struggled from the field in other games this season, their performance against the Jayhawks couldn't have come at worse time.
"Yeah, I think for me especially," Paulding said. "You feel like you want to step up in big games. Kind of having two off games in a row is kind of disappointing for me. I didn't play the way I wanted to play. This being my last Big 12 Tournament, this was not the way I wanted to go out."
Paulding had nine points in the Tigers first-round win against Texas A&M.

Va. Sheriff's K-9 Dies During Training Exercise
Sheriff's K-9 Maco
Photo credit: Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Office
A Dinwiddie County, Va. Sheriff's K-9 died after being hit by a car during a training exercise last week.
Sheriff's K-9 Maco was taking part in the exercise with his handler, Deputy Brock Tomlin, at the Five Forks Battlefield on Nov. 1 when the incident occurred, according to a news release.
The German Shepherd-Belgium Malinois began chasing deer near where the exercise was taking place, eventually running onto Courthouse Road before being struck.
The dog joined the Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Office K-9 team in July 2012 and specialized in drug and narcotics detection, tracking and article location.
"Hardly a day went by that Maco didn't find drugs," Maj. William Knott said in statement.
Officials said that Maco was assigned to Tomlin in March and that the two became very close. Maco was cremated and the remains were given to the deputy.
The Sheriff's Office is planning a memorial service.

I have the 2008 Silverado 4.8 liter engine and my truck runs at about 209-210 degrees. When I sit at the drive thru window it sometimes goes up to 220+ and than the fan kicks on and it obviously lowers. My truck has always ran at 210, just wondering what everyone elses runs at?
I have an '89 with a 6.2(383 stroker) and I run around 185-190 normally, if that. Right now it varies since my thermostat sticks at random times, then the truck will max out at 260, then drop back down around 190, so I think your truck is running a little too hot. Hope that helps at all. P.s. I was talking to my dad about this, he's good with cars ans trucks, he said that you should ne able to call up your local dealers parts/service department and ask them what your trucks water temp should run at with no problem.
Mine sits at that 208 210 mark. Unless its real cold that's were it stays. I think that just the sweet spot on these trucks. Alex

CD/LP/Track Review
More articles about Thirteen Ways-
Palmetto Records
2000 -
Milky Bomb Records
I do not know which to prefer
The beauty of inflections
Or the beauty of innuendoes
The blackbird whistling
Or just after.
That's the idea behind this trio: to harness a lifetime's worth of jazz exploration in the cause of delicate motion. Fred Hersch, as he has revealed on recordings under his own name, tends to naturally occupy this space. His duets with Bill Frisell, for example, took the avant guitar master to a new zone of gentle discovery. Saxophonist/clarinetist Michael Moore is probably best known for his work with the Clusone 3: wild, zany, and impossible to predict. Here Moore settles down and plays a more direct melodic role. Not to say that he always falls within some restricted circumspect lines that dictate jazz normalcyquite the opposite, in fact. Some of the most revealing moments on Focus occur when he leads the trio just outside the boundaries. Drummer Gerry Hemingway is also better known for his work in avant jazz circles, but here he plays the role of colorist. The percussion on Focus is like a painting done with watercolors instead of with oils. It's not sharp and bold, but it conveys a smoother and more delicate continuum of rhythmic space.
While those who come to Thirteen Ways from the world of avant-garde jazz may find themselves wondering what happened to the splash and bang of "out" jazz, it's not a difficult feat to settle into the more reflective environment Focus projects. It's outstanding listening for the late night hours, when action gradually settles into reflection. Certainly not background music, but a big leap from what you might expect given the previous material from the players in this trio.
Track Listing: Focus; Janeology; Out Someplace (Blues For Matthew Shepard); Autumn Eves; En Tee; Tango Bittersweet; Bug Music; Fim De Inverno; Identity; One Note To My Wife; Habanera.
Personnel: Fred Hersch: piano; Michael Moore: alto saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet; Gerry Hemingway: drums, percussion.
Record Label: Palmetto Records

Enjoying a pour of PHC 2010 @ 107. Near about perfect.
Ritt BIB tonight. Added another bottle to the bunker so life is good! Have a good weekend.
4RSB OBSK from TPS, coming out my nose from laughter when my wife objected to me playing a CD by Morphine, because she mistook it for Megadeth. "I kept waiting for them to start screaming", she said. Nothing but a two-string bass, drums, and two saxes for the whole album...
AAA 10 start tonight. Went over to a friend that will only drink it mixed with ginger ale or sprite. At 12.95 a liter perfect combination of a good mixer and one that can still enjoy neat or on the rocks.
Ya know EJ, I keep reaching for that 10 Star, but always pull back. Didn't care for it the last time I bought a bottle...but that was more than a few years ago. Your positive take on it, as well as others good reviews recently, is prodding me to pick one up next time I'm at the store (i.e. tomorrow)
Tonight, for me, it's Bowman Brothers Small Batch while solving world problems in front of the outdoor fireplace.
Wag more.
Bark less.
"Every bottle is its own learning experience." -- Sensei Ox-sama
Yep, their newest one. It's fantastic, all subtle 4R and a whopping of dry, yummy aged rye. I'm 3/4 through the bottle and only put water in it for the first time last night. It opens up the rye to the point that it tastes much stronger, even though the proof is lower. Before yesterday I had thought, 4R is so smooth anyway, and this bottle definitely is, even at 62%, so why in the world would I add water? But, it's better with it, and I'll finish the bottle this way. If you get it, please try it once with water- I tried 1 part water to 6 parts nectar - and see what you think. I think it takes some of the sweetness out of it that comes with high proof, and lets the rye shine.
tasty night of Vintage Rye 21 and PHC Cognac. Good end to the week.
Thanks to a generous friend I tried PHC 27 year for the first time. I have now had them all and can say that if Parker Beam puts a whiskey into the PHC I will buy it. I have yet to be let down by the PHC. The 27 year was not at all what I was expecting. I had a hard time believing my own nose but the first thing I picked up was corn. I would be very interested to watch others taste that one blind and see if anyone could guess the age or even pick it out of a lineup of much younger whiskeys. Great stuff.
OGD114 '82, OT BIB '67/'72, 4R OESO, and Redemption High Rye followed. The Old Taylor bottle didn't make it back home with me so I guess it was the crowd's favorite.

Russia considers state monopoly on wine production
Russia, wine, monopoly, Russian Parliament, State Duma, winemaking, sanctions News Wine News http://www.decanter.com/news/wine-news/587400/russia-considers-state-monopoly-on-wine-production http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/000008ac0/8df7_orh100000w160/russian-parliament-state-duma.jpg http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/000008ac0/2f3c/russian-parliament-state-duma.jpg- 2014-08-20T15:32:00+01:00 Wednesday 20 August 2014
According to Oleg Nilov, a member of Parliament and one of the architects of the new initiative, the production of wine in Russia should take place only at the facilities of state-owned enterprises, and enterprises where the controlling stake is owned by the state. Nilov believes that the introduction of a state monopoly would allow Russia to increase the quality of wine produced in the country and significantly boost state revenues from the domestic wine industry. A spokesperson for A Just Russia, a social democratic political party in Russia, which submitted the new draft bill to the national parliament and the government, said the introduction of a state monopoly would help Russia to remain independent of - and not dependent on - the international wine industry in case of restrictions or an entire ban on the wine imports to Russia, measures currently being considered by the national government as a response to Western sanctions. According to the State Duma, the introduction of a state monopoly would also provide an impetus for Crimean and Krasnodar winemakers to increase their production volumes and would provide them with space on shelves of national retail outlets. However, leading Russian analysts in the field of alcohol and wine business have criticised the initiative. According to Vadim Drobiz ,the Director of the Center of Research of Federal and Regional Alcohol Markets (CRFRAM), a leading wine business analysis agency, the introduction of a state monopoly would make the Russian wine industry unprofitable, as it currently remains heavily dependent on VAT and excise duties and would create conditions for corruption in the market. According to CFRAM analysts, the adoption of these plans would also result in an increase of contraband wine being brought to Russia and a significant decline of the quality of domestic wines. The new draft law is expected to be debated by the Russian Parliament during the first week of September.

Urban Terror is a free multiplayer first person shooter developed by FrozenSand, that (thanks to the ioquake3-code) does not require Quake III Arena anymore. It is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh. Urban Terror can be described as a Hollywood tactical shooter; somewhat realism based, but the motto is "fun over realism". This results in a very unique, enjoyable and addictive game. Please post all support issues in the forums for the game.

An extremely fun and addicting game. I'm tired of all the cookie cutter FPS games out there that try nothing to improve the genre. In Urban Terror you can power slide, do pullups, and treat people like Goombas. Ah so good.

I really like this game, I've played it a lot and I'm still playing it now and then. For a fast first person online shooter this is the best and it doesn't require you to have a great computer either.
I give it 9/10 because of all the gaming joy I have received from this game.

UrT still has the best balance between realism und arcade action. My all-time favorite.

"Great-tasting roast turkey flavor. Cook an 8-pound turkey breast on the weekend and enjoy flavorful turkey sandwiches all week. Can also be used on a full-size turkey. Cooking time is about 15 minutes per pound. If desired, make 1 cup seasoned butter and add 2 tablespoons to your turkey gravy."

We received so many compliments last year on our turkey that we are doing it again this year. We hosted two Thanksgiving dinners totaling 45 people and used this recipe. Rave reviews. Turkey was moist and had a great flavor that was subtle and delicious. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
This will be my third year using this on a whole turkey. It's great! Everybody loves it.

Along the left side of this image, we can see a portion of the interior of the Schubert impact basin. Located in Mercury's southern hemisphere, Schubert was named for the early 19th century composer Franz Schubert. The basin's smooth floor resulted when the basin filled with lava, further evidence of past volcanism on Mercury.
