A new ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of hyoscyamine and scopolamine in various kinds of crude drugs derived from solanaceous plants was evaluated using sodium dodecyl sulfate as a counter ion. A reversed-phase chromatographic system consisting of a chemically bonded ODS silica gel column with phosphate buffer (pH 2.5)-acetonitrile (65 : 35) containing 17.5mM sodium dodecyl sulfate as the mobile phase was used. Hyoscyamine and scopolamine in crude drugs derived from Scopolia, Atropa, Hyoscyamus and Datura species were separated from other compounds in the crude drugs and determined within 20 min after direct injection of the solution extracted with the mobile phase. The results for various kinds of samples are presented.

Although not nearly as epochal, director and co-writer Craig Zobel's Great World of Sound is a fitting 21st-century addition to the genre. The film's meager plotting and casual melancholy peg it as a modest indie, but these ingredients dovetail nicely with Zobel's bigger theme about the futility of the modern world.
Unemployed and living with his artist girlfriend Pam (Rebecca Mader) in Charlotte, North Carolina, Martin (Pat Healy) interviews with Great World of Sound, a local fly-by-night record company that hires him as a producer. Never mind that Martin has no record- making experienceas he soon learns, he and his African-American partner Clarence (Kene Holliday) will mostly be traveling around the South bilking any guitar-slinging sucker for a few thousand dollars in exchange for some empty promises about a label deal that will never materialize. Clarence is too grateful not to be living on the street anymore to let the ethical complications of fleecing get to him, but rudderless Martin secretly envies these young performers' optimism, telling himself that if he can actually help one or two of them reach their dreams, maybe the whole situation isn't as rotten as it appears.
Zobel's directorial debut is as bleak a look at working as Miller's or Mamet's earlier efforts, but what's most striking about this bittersweet drama is its absence of indignant rage. Instead, a weary inevitability hovers around the edges of the frame as Zobel and his co-writer, George Smith, construct the film as a series of concentric parasitic circles: the performers being taken by the producers, who are being taken by their sleazy bosses. Set far away from our nation's cultural centersthe characters consider Indianapolis the big timeGreat World of Sound creates a milieu in which everyone, no matter how high or low on the totem pole, is stranded on the same depressed economic plateau. Unlike other low-budget American indies, there are no homespun homilies about "regular folks" to be found, because lower-class desperation has sufficiently sucked the regular folk dry of such niceties. What's left in its place is a resigned sense of exhaustion, and Zobel fills the film with images of diminished prospects: cheap beer, old-model cell phones, cookie-cutter motel rooms, and anxious musicians who want a record contract just so they can quit their restaurant job.
Considering that the film's narrative arc is as predetermined as its luckless characters' fates, Zobel makes most of his points through his understated atmosphere of silent misery, which extends to the low-key performances. Wielding his boisterous demeanor as a defense mechanism, Holliday's Clarence in particular conveys the movie's pessimistic outlook on life as a succession of unappealing choices undertaken with a mixture of willful naïveté and callous calculation. As a counterpoint, Healy's Martin becomes a doomed figure whose still-flickering conscience is matched with a spinelessness that leaves him complicit in the company's deceit.
As smart as it is at dissecting the culture of lowered expectations, Great World of Sound fizzles when satirizing our fascination with instant celebrity, shown here through the real-life auditions conducted by Healy and Holliday (in character) with unsuspecting musicians who responded to phony newspaper ads looking for unsigned acts. While Zobel doesn't resort to reality TV's humiliation tactics, these nonfiction digressions make their point rather obviously: Everybody's got a dream, but very few will see it come to fruition.
Great World of Sound is far stronger when it doesn't place us in a superior position to anyone on the screen, when it forces us instead to identify with the film's multitudes of walking wounded. In the past, cinematic salesmen have served as harsh indictments of the dark undercurrents at the heart of the American Dream, but Zobel's very sad first feature suggests that, at least at one time, we all actually had a dream to believe in.

Spent 3 days hiking here with the highlites being Angels's Landing (4-5 hours for 2500 ft elevation gain), Observation Point (6 hours for 3000 elevation gain), and the Narrows.
I unsuccessfully tried Angel's Landing in 1997 as the shear vertical 2,000 drops on each side of this narrow ridge got the best of me. 10 years later I was able to do it - luckily.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Beast's initial ferocity might scare younger viewers. And once kids have seen his gentle side, they may find scenes of him being hunted and stabbed by Gaston emotionally upsetting. The sequence in which a mob comes after Beast is also quite intense, and there's a fair bit of cleavage on display during the bar-set "Gaston" number. But kids mature enough for feature-length stories will find this one of the best Disney movies they could spend time with in terms of intelligence, quality, and originality -- not to mention having one of Disney's smartest, most independent heroines. Note: The movie's 2012 3D theatrical rerelease intensifies the musical numbers like "Be Our Guest" and the waltz scene in "Beauty and the Beast," but it doesn't make Beast's roars or the mob scenes too much scarier than they are in 2D.

What's the story?
When a prince turns away an old woman selling apples because of her ugly appearance, she casts a spell that turns him into a beast and his staff into objects. Only finding someone to love him can undo the enchantment, but misfortune turns Beast (voiced by Robby Benson) bitter and mean. When by young Belle (Paige O'Hara) from the village comes to the castle looking for her missing father, the staff -- a motley collection of servants enchanted to look like household items -- hopes she'll break the spell even as Beast holds her prisoner. At first repulsed by Beast, she later sees the beautiful person still inside him. But will her love save Beast from a village determined to kill him?
Is it any good?
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST may not be Disney's most famous movie, but it stands as the studio's crowning achievement, winning an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe for Best Picture. Stellar music, brisk storytelling, delightful animation, and above all compelling characters make it both a great animated feature for kids and a great movie for anyone. Although based on source material, this one escapes the fate of sounding merely recycled from previous Disney movies.
In essence all great stories are about transformation, and this one beats out even Cinderella as the ultimate makeover story, with Beast's inner transformation preceding his outer one. Some editions of the DVD include an additional scene and a new song, but the original movie stands on its own merit.

Lost Faces: Family Photo AlbumsLOST FACES is my collection of Family Photo Albums. One of my hobbies is going to antique auctions, stores, flea markets and garage sales. Whenever I spot one of those old Photo Albums from the 1800s with family pictures, I have to buy it! I can't bear the thought that the album and photos will be lost or destroyed. Even though they aren't my ancestors, and they can be very expensive, I can't walk away without it.Lost Faces is my way of saving these genealogy treasures and preserving historical documents. Most of the photo albums I rescue have identified photographs, but a few do not. These are my Orphan Photos. I have albums that contain funeral cards, memorial cards, obituaries, Christmas cards, and hand-written genealogies.

yep, i've doing a little bit of research on the intended version. i'm away at the moment but i'll be visiting the ship this next month. it will be a relatively easy build for children yet should still represent the vessel fairly accurately.
Thank you, Mchale; I have the ju52man download, but it's rather difficult to figure out the proper placement even with the deck plan that I have. I might try it at some point.
I still look forward to Nebel's design, which, as he said, will be fairly accurate. Cheers! Jim |
Mchale, what do I need to do to have permission to use that kit on a page to encourage people to donate to the USS Texas fund? Maybe we can have a "tiered" approach where ANY donation gets the simplest model, larger donations get a nice FG style semi-scale, semi-detailed model, and if we ever get a real masterpiece, that can be offered for a larger donation or sale. Ryan
Certified Flight Instructor in San Antonio, TX at www.TexasTailwheel.com Member: Alamo Liaison Squadron Websites: www.doolittleraid.com & www.lbirds.com |
Time to come out of the closet. Ryan contacted me a few weeks ago about taking on the Texas as a design project. Since then it has been like one of those tunes that, once it imbeds in one's brain, just won't go away. So, although it looks as if it is really going to push the envelope of my design ability (the Colorado is only the first model that I can really claim as a "from scratch" design attempt vs a re-engineer of an existing kit...and was greatly aided by existance of a BS Profile Morskie booklet of the Colorado), I'm going to jump into the big leagues with this project. My thoughts of the moment are to put as much detail into the beast as is within my own humble micromodelling building ability. Between my copy of the warship pictorial on the Texas, the Utube "Texas tour" videos, and the HNSA blueprint file on the Texas, I have enough to get started, but am needing a lot of assistance from you guys who have been dreaming about this project. One thing that I will very much need is a ton of still images of the details of the ship...anyone reading this who has photos of the Texas, I would really, really appreciate if you would send me an electronic file of them....pm me for the email address to get them to me. And, if anyone is planning on visiting the Texas in the near future, please take along your trusty digital camera and fresh SD card and do a 'walk-around' type photo shoot of the nooks and crannies and small details of the accessible areas of the ship (and, maybe if Ryan can sweet-talk the powers that be, even some of the inaccessible areas....at least of the command deck level of the island). My most immediate need is photos of the small structures on the main deck area where the 5/51 guns were moved to and of the exterior bulkheads of the main structures so I can get an idea of porthole (in some cases, windows) and hatch locations, annotated with location info if not obviously identifiable. Longer term need is photos of the compartment interiors, at least of the main deck level of the island, and maybe even of the next level down. There is a method to my madness....Chris has been a bad influence on me regarding some of the project aspects I'm considering. Along with the 1:200 model of the full ship, I'm thinking that a 1:87 companion model of the island command level (and maybe of that portion of the next level down) would be possible....and maybe even of some of the upper levels. A 1:35 scale model of the conning tower interior isn't out of the question given enough detail photos. And, really going for pie in the sky, a walk-around type tour book is also a possible product from this humble little task. So, if you do contribute documentation images, publication permission would be greatly appreciated, just in case dreams come true.
Now, with respect to the crass financial aspects. This task has all the appearance being of the "chicken heart that ate Detroit" nature, and is going to take a big portion of my life away for a significant length of time. The design blog thread is liable to overtake Koolik's Big Boy thread for size and duration. So, I intend reserving rights for commercial distribution of any paper model kits that may emerge at project's end, but will grant the USS Texas restoration project unlimited and unconditional (but not exclusive) permission to use any and all intellectual properties that may result. Hopefully, this little project will stay in the realm of fun hobby and not that of "frikkin' job."
It's not good to have too much order. Without some chaos, there is no room for new things to grow. |

M. Ward/Yo La Tengo at Prospect Park - 8/7/12
M. Ward has been touring internationally all year in support of his new album, A Wasteland Companion, and after having played Webster Hall back in May, he made his way back to NYC on Tuesday (8/7) for a Celebrate Brooklyn show at Prospect Park with Yo La Tengo (who were without bassist James McNew due to medical reasons) and comedian Wyatt Cenac. M. Ward mixed his 21-song set up pretty evenly between material off of his four most recent albums, and threw in a handful of covers as well, including dedicating his first of two encores to all Daniel Johnston covers.
M. Ward was a paid show, but the free Celebrate Brooklyn shows in Prospect Park, which included Wild Flag, Mission of Burma, and Ted Leo last week (8/3), continue with Little Dragon and Frankie Rose on Friday (8/10).
You can catch Wyatt Cenac in NYC again when he plays Carolines on October 11 - 13. Tickets for those shows are available.

I was about to post a correction. He hasn't aged well. Dave Rick doesn't live that far away, they should have gotten him to play! Would have been a noisier YLT. Love the band, but need to hear Ira feedback craziness.

I hate to dissapoint all the YLT fans here but they sounded awful at this show. I know it was supposed to be a stripped down set but it was still bad. I saw they play a near pfect show at the bell house this past winter. expected a lot more. mward sounded great but he always does.

there goes your shot at credibility
Posted by Anonymous | August 9, 2012 3:38 PM
@3:16 - don't know if you noticed but james wasn't there. he went to the hospital on sunday with appendicitis. georgia and ira playing without james hasn't happened in over 20 years, and since they had less than 2 days to prepare for the show with 2 musicians they don't play with very often (though they are both very talented), i think cutting them a little slack might be in order. so sorry they didn't meet your expectations, but i'm guessing you would have preferred that they had just bailed on the show altogether.
Posted by Anonymous | August 9, 2012 4:48 PM
I knew they were short handed but didn't know the whole story. thanks for explaining to me. the fill in musicians came up really short. and to attacker of my credibilty, everytime I've seen mward perform he's been great. saw him open for my morning jacket on their first tour ages ago and he won over the whole crowd who had no idea who he was. never seen him let down a crowd.

Anyone remember M Ward sitting in with YLT at Maxwells? He butchered a few songs. Awful. Crowd that day were sure let down.

This is what apple should have done in the first place. Comply but sly
Personally I think the Judge has acted out of bound on this. Forcing a Public apology... even after the slight cringeworthy 'Cool' comment. It's more the sort thing of a Tabloid has to do when it has made up stuff about a celeb. The judge himself appears to be ok - having thown out the ACS:Law Case where they were send out scare letters to little old ladies to make them pay money for downloading Hardcroe german porn. Now they were scum of the earth and glad they had to shut down. |

Yeah, I see their rebellious responses to the court as proof there's still people that Think Different at Apple who can/did publicly mock the judge's decision in a somewhat legal way.
Not everyone thinks that judges, courts, or government laws should always be followed or feared. Just because the masses are now using Apple products doesn't mean they are like Big Brother. I remember Apple's roots and attitude from the beginning. Bravo Apple.

Courts shouldn't be feared (unless you've done something wrong) but its generally a good idea to follow what they tell you to do, as Apple found out after their original statement. |

If Samsung truly felt the ruling was unfair or incorrect, AND the judge was silly enough to rule they must apologize, but not make that ruling very specific, then yes, by all means they should come up with creative ways to mock the court. But that would mean Samsung would have to be creative on their own.

I see apple back in court on this one, they were told to prominently display it, not hide it off the bottom of the screen...
and they have already p***ed the judge of once, if he feels that apple are now just making him look small, he will call them back in and demand that its put as a banner prominently on all EU Apple pages. If i was apple i would have complied with the spirit and word of the judgement, not just the loopholes you think your exploiting to turn it into a marketing tool, Judges, especially UK ones, have NO sense of humor, and this will be seen as a slight against the judge directly, he will respond. Apple, your a patent troll (and, fanboys, they are a patent troll company, but so nowadays are most large companies), the UK judge ruled against your trolling, so, live with it, move on, and comply with what they want, don't try and turn it into marketing spin, or hide it, just do what they request, and get it over with,

Perhaps if Apple paid their UK taxes, I'd have a little more sympathy for them, but as it happens, they screw us in the UK via higher product prices and then don't pay their share of tax either.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...w-overseas-tax There's nothing 'admirably rebellious' about Apple's behaviour, it's just arrogance and greed. |

The landscape pics are not a good indicator of what's going on, as it doesn't just "resize" as some people are saying - it physically re-arranges to keep the preferred content filling the screen.

All I know is that if I was the judge, and Apple was still playing these games after being called out once, I would be pissed.
I would literally hand them a web page in 48 point font with designated language along the lines of "SAMSUNG DID NOT COPY US AND WE SUED THEM WRONGLY" and say, welcome to your new homepage for the next year. I'd probably put it in hot fuchsia text on a black star background with a blink tag just to piss them off. Then I would fine them for contempt. Judges don't like it when you try and skirt the spirit of their rulings. |

This is NOT necessarily true. The Apple website has been doing this for a while now and even does it on the apple.com/iPhone page.
See here for evidence that it was working before the second statement was posted by Apple: http://needmoredesigns.com/blog/appl...ebsite-design/ And here for the iPhone demo: http://www.apple.com/iphone/ Think abut it, from Marketing it makes perfect sense to have the adverts showing at all time and all resolutions. It shows the lower adverts even on the iPhone so makes perfect sense. It's not to hide a statement. |

As I wrote in another thread...
I think this puts to rest the idea it wouldn't take 2 weeks. And I believe this actually conforms to the courts order. This changes EVERYTHING. The new statement is magical. No one has ever made this statement before. The new statement is much thinner than the original statement. It's the thinnest website apology Apple has made. Ever. Oh - and this apology is even snappier! |

Which Witch?Mystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.In the medieval age, witches and warlocks were quite numerous. There were many, but the best of them all were three witches: Rubo, Baggo, and Zadi. One day, someone summoned a spell only the three witches could do: burn down all of England with green fire. The King of England, the only survivor, knew where all three lived and called them to come to a meeting. He asked, "Which of you summoned the calamity that destroyed all of England?"
Here are their alibis. Rubo: I was off in China at the time, taking a well deserved break. Are you insinuating that I'm an evil witch? Baggo: Why would I want to summon a calamity? I heal and tell the future, not summon fires! Zadi: Er...Um...What calamity? Er...er...yeah...I was in Germany you see... The King of England arrested one of them. WHO WAS IT AND WHY? What Next?

Triode VS. UL bias
Need some wise words here. I'm getting ready to wire up a simple EL34 UL amp. Using the triode and UL curves for the EL34 on the Audiomatica site, I get very different -Vg points between the two connections, using the same Va and Ia, and a 5K loadline. For example, at 300V/60ma triode-connected I get about -24Vg. Same conditions but ultralinear-connected, I get ~ -34Vg.
Is this right? Thanks very much for any insight offered. Jim |

No. Use the triode curves for DC idle state. The UL curve is a dynamic curve, with the screen tagging along at 40% or so of the plate's excursion from idle.

The U-L curves depend on where they're started from. What you'll find in practice is that U-L and triode bias conditions will be the same( both have the same voltage on the screens). So as Tom said, for initial design use the triode curves to calculate values. cheers, Douglas

Thanks Tom and Douglas. So, plotting loadlines based on the triode-connected curves will get me where I want to be with UL connection. Good -- so then there is no meaningful change in the load the tube expects to see going from triode to Ul.
I'm converting a compact little 2a3 I built years ago, which uses a 6688 triode-connected as driver. My plan is to try an E-Linear variant using what's in my junk box. I've never used pentodes as pentodes before, much less ultralinear, so I'm learning somethng new here. Thanks again for the help. Jim |

Well, got it wired up. It works. Used 6v6's instead of el-34's after deciding my power supply was marginal for the bigger tube. Currently driven by 6J4's, but have 9-pin sockets installed and wired for triode connected 6688's, so I'll give the E-Linear treatment to this soon.
I haven't scoped it yet, but I'm guessing I'm getting about 3 watts into 16 ohms. Big sounding watts, too. I'm a little surprised, frankly. Thanks for the help again, guys. I learned a few things ... Best, Jim |

Note that if you are implementing any nontrivial object, and want to correctly store them in a HashMap or HashSet, you MUST override hashCode() and equals(). hashCode() can do whatever you like (it's entirely legal, but suboptimal to have it return 1.), but it's vital that if your equals() method returns true, then the value returned by hashCode() for both objects are equal. Confusion and lack of understanding of hashCode() and equals() is a big source of bugs.

A general contractors (GC) success depends upon selecting reliable and highly qualified subcontractor partners. For this reason, SubQual, LLC was established to pre-qualify subcontractors for General Contractors that use Subcontractor default insurance programs. This allows the GCs to confidently build their teams and to deliver top quality projects on time and under budget.
Becoming a pre-qualified subcontractor is easy. Just complete the Online Prequalification Form. Any questions can be directed to our Prequalification Department at 1-800-407-6192.
Information from your prequalification statement may be shared only with the GCs that are subscribers to SubQual. This information is maintained in a database for the GCs to review and select subcontractors.
Please note financial statements are required if you want to be prequalified for more than $50,000. The actual financial statements you provided to SubQual are kept confidential and are not open to the GCs or any other party unless SubQual receives written permission from an officer of your company. SubQual will use the financial statements to prepare financial ratios. The ratios and the information provided on the pre-qualification form and the letter from your surety, will allow each GC to independently establish their maximum per project contract limit for the subcontractors.
Being pre-qualified to bid on projects has multiple advantages. First, you are placed on a list of available subcontractors for your specialty work to be considered when the general contractor is putting together a bid.
Second, you know that the other subcontractors working with you on a project are qualified to perform their specialty and have adequate financial resources to complete their work.
The other major advantage is the ability to use Subguard, a subcontractor default insurance program that is used in lieu of performance and payment bonds. Using Subguard frees up subcontractors bonding capacity so that it can be used for other projects.
