Ha-1197 Am
Greetings all,
I don't have the expertise so I'm hoping someone is familiar enough with this AM demodulator chip to help me. Most circuits for I've seen are very similar for this chip but if it would be helpful I'll try to make a small scan and upload it. I'm having trouble with what seems to be an overloading condition input. When there's a spike in the signal input (as in Lightining) or even I can hold my hand on the ferrite antenna to suppliment the signal a little, the circuit will go into an oscillation that locks the whole of the circuit. Sounds like about 1-3khz, in that area. Switching the circuit off and then back on resets the circuit until the signal overloads again. I found I can prevent it happening by removing the 33k mylar cap that bridges from signal out to the b+ but I have the feeling all I'm doing here is lowering the gain of the chip? I'm past my understanding of the circuit here. Only thing I do know is there's no AGC in the circuit unless it's built into the chip itself. The frontend itself is purely vcap tuning, all amplification is done at the chip and post output. Thanks in advance!! Ron

Coaches, keep your language clean
So Jerry Jones has fired coach Rob Ryan. That's one less potty mouth at Valley Ranch. Even on the front page of the Sports section Ryan says, "I know I did a hell of a job. I'll find another spot. I'm just too damn good." He's certainly not the only one that sets this kind of bad example, but I haven't heard one of his interviews that didn't include swear words. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Rob.
Jason Garrett says, "We're going in a new direction." I hope that includes telling players and coaches to clean up their act.

Ranks | 14 |
- Power over the elements is power over creation itself.[1]
Healing Wave is the first healing spell that a Shaman starts with. It is a shaman's most powerful single-target heal, and in most cases, it is also the most mana efficient.
- Healing Wave is the biggest heal in the shaman's arsenal, and also the most mana efficient single target heal. The long casting time makes it somewhat unwieldy to use, but it provides a very large amount of instant healing when used in combination with [Nature's Swiftness] or [Maelstrom Weapon].
- The casting time of Healing Wave starts out at 1.5 seconds and then increases with each rank up to level 18, where it reaches the final casting time of 3.0 seconds. At level 20, the spell is complemented by [Lesser Healing Wave], which has a 1.5 second casting time regardless of rank.
- [Healing Way] increases the amount healed by 25%.
- [Purification] increases the amount healed by 10%.
- [Nature's Blessing] increases the amount healed by up to 15% of your Intellect.
- [Tidal Waves] increases the amount healed by up to 20% of your spell power.
Casting Time
- [Improved Healing Wave] reduces the casting time by up to 0.5 sec.
- When activated, [Nature's Swiftness] turns it into an instant cast spell.
Critical Strike Chance
- When activated, [Tidal Force] increases its critical strike chance by 60%, which is reduced by 20% each time you get a critical strike.
- [Tidal Mastery] increases the critical strike chance by up to 5%.
- [Blessing of the Eternals] increases the critical strike chance by up to 4%.
- [Thundering Strikes] from the Enhancement tree increases the critical strike chance by up to 5%.
- [Healing Focus] reduces interruption caused by damage by up to 70%.
Mana Cost
- [Tidal Focus] reduces the mana cost by up to 5%.
- [Improved Water Shield] returns mana up to 100% of the time when it critically strikes.
- [Elemental Focus] from the Enhancement tree reduces the mana cost by 40% after getting a critical strike with any Fire, Frost, or Nature spell.
- [Healing Grace] reduces the threat caused by up to 15%.
- [Glyph of Healing Wave] heals the caster for 20% of the amount healed when casting it on someone else.
- [Ancestral Healing] causes it to temporarily increase the target's armor when it critically strikes.
- [Ancestral Awakening] heals a second target for 30% of the amount healed when it critically strikes.
Tips and tactics
- Combine with [Nature's Swiftness] for a powerful instant heal.
- The large amount healed and the relatively slow casting time means that it is often useful to begin casting Healing Wave on a target that is taking damage before the target needs the full amount of healing done as the target will continue to take damage while you cast the spell. It can even be situationally useful to begin casting the spell on a target that has not yet taken any damage if you expect them to take a lot of damage during the next few seconds. If the heal turns out to be unnecessary, you can simply stopcast the spell before it finishes.
Patch changes
- / Patch 4.0.1 (12-Oct-2010): Level requirement is 7, and the spell is no longer free, available after character creation.
- Hotfix (2009-04-22): "The Thunderfall Totem will no longer increase the casting time of Healing Wave or Lesser Healing Wave when Tidal Waves is active. [2]"
- Patch 1.10.0 (28-Mar-2006): Mana cost on all ranks reduced approximately 9%.

TELL CITY - Perry County will play host to some of the nation's top archers and turkey hunters in the coming week as the Hunting Simulation Organization and Campbell's Outdoor Challenge visit the county's 4-H fairgrounds.
The HSO will host its Motion Target World Qualifier Friday through Sunday, drawing top archery sportsmen who will take aim at a variety of moving and pop-up targets.
A Swiss photojournalist stops by the Tell City Museum Friday to talk with historical society member Mark Ress about the community's Swiss roots. Philipp Kunzli, right, lives in Olten and has been working with partner Kara Tyler, left, on "The Swiss Way," a project he said will show how ties between the two nation's continue to be impacted by immigration that occurred more than a century ago. The next stop, Kunzli said, was Chicago.
TELL CITY - "The Pink Lace Diamond." It's a classic murder mystery that will play out before the eyes of guests May 2 as the Tell City Regional Arts Association sponsors a murder-mystery theater.
The event, being held at Bill & Dave's Smokin' Pit, had been scheduled for January but was pushed back until spring.
"The guests become detectives and try to figure out who did it," said Cheri Taylor, executive director of the Perry County Chamber of Commerce and president of the arts association.
The next meeting of Wellness 2009 is planned for 6 p.m. Tuesday outside Tell City High School. Biking and shoe selection are this month's topics. A representative of Gilles Sports in Evansville will share tips on choosing the right bike, bicycle safety and picking out proper shoes for athletic activities. The wellness group is also teaming up with Nike to recycle old athletic shoes. For every pair of old shoes turned in, donors will receive a ticket in a raffle for a new Gilles bike. There will be refreshments.
TELL CITY - Good decision making, leadership roles and doing things better are just a few of the things speaker Keith Nord will discuss with students, staff and community members.
Canceled because of the ice storm, Nord will make up his visit to Tell City High School April 23 and hold three presentations. The first will be with students and staff of the Tell City-Troy Township School Corp., where he said he'd focus on several things, including making good decisions.
PERRY COUNTY - Steve Upmeyer, board president of the Perry County Community Foundation, has announced this year's recipients of the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship.
Ryan W. Kessens and Jason Hackbarth have been selected to receive the full-tuition, four-year scholarships to the Indiana college of their choice, as well as an $800 stipend for books and equipment.
TELL CITY - Teachers, counselors and other school staff who devote their talents to educating and protecting children gained new insight and skills last month into a new program that will change how Tell City-Troy Township schools deal with an ages-old problem: bullying.
First off, "Observe and Report" is not "Paul Blart: Mall Cop." Both movies may be about shopping-mall security guards, but that is where any major comparisons end.
TELL CITY—Tell City hit well and fielded well to beat Perry Central 11-0 in girls softball Monday.
The Marksmen had nine hits, including four doubles, in just four innings of batting, as they won the game in five innings by the 10-run rule.
Six Perry Central errors also helped Tell City's cause, contributing to seven unearned runs.
The Marksmen scored six runs in the first inning. Kyli Smithson walked, stole second base, and scored the first run on Josalyn Ress' single to left field.
TELL CITY—Kyle Osborne drove in three runs and Trent Benningfield pitched five shutout innings as Tell City beat Evansville North 3-1 in baseball Tuesday.
Tell City scored two runs with two out in the first inning.
Mike Maddle doubled to right-center field and Trent Gunn was hit by a pitch.
Both runners moved up a base on a wild pickoff throw, and both scored on Osborne's double to left-center.
The Marksmen added a run in the third inning on walks to Andy Chinn and Maddle and a single up the middle by Osborne.

Cinequest 2005
A second week of our film festival coverage: from local indie 'Charlie
the Ox' to Harold Lloyd and beyond
By Richard von Busack
SINCE the early 1930s, the movies have cross-pollinated with gangsters. Their crimes filled the screens; in return, Hollywood gave the gangsters lessons in behavior, speech and what to wear. Local director Scott Smith, whose Charlie the Ox is premiering at Cinequest, makes the actor-gangster relation clear.
This serio-comic, sometimes brooding, slightly bitter film concerns a hapless would-be safecracker. Charlie is drawn to heists for the adventure of the thing, more than for the money itselfmoney he doesn't have the heart to steal.
"I'm a big guy," Smith saysbuilt like a football player, Smith seems at least 6-foot-6. While he never considered acting the lead, he'd written the story of the oxlike Charlie with himself in mind. "It's a kind of a fable about being in a profession that doesn't want you."
Smith, who grew up and still lives in the valley, has worked in film-related industries for a couple of decades. He was the founder of Rez magazine and one of the founders of the international digital film festival Rezfest. Smith had originally been an animator, and at age 17 had been accepted at Cal Arts, right at exactly the wrong time in the history of animation; after debacles like The Black Cauldron and The Fox and the Hound, Disney had temporarily withdrawn its scholarship money and wasn't hiring much new talent.
Turning to feature film, Smith won an award at Sundance for a short film, and then wrote his screenplay for Charlie the Ox. Christian Slater was interested but didn't have an open spot on his dance card for two years.
In the end, Smith filmed his script himself in surprisingly warm-looking high-definition video, using the talented Cory McAbee of the band the Billy Nayer Show as the nice-guy lead.
Smith filmed his caper all over the valley last September, illustrating it with murals and graffiti by artist David Choe. The director/writer staged an attempted safecracking at the bank vault inside the former Café Leviticus. To create a visual motif, he shot scenes at a local laundromat and the Santa Clara train station. The final payoff/betrayal takes place at a construction site underneath the Mineta Airport flight path. The idea, Smith said, was for us to see Charlie always waiting for his break, as the world moved on without him.
In a two-scene part, Maverick Award honoree Jon Polito looks dapper, apple-cheeked and avuncular in a smooth brown suit. He does a classic double take registering the sight of a bottle of rum. Polito plays Freddy Boon, an actor hired on to pretend to be a gangster in an effort to double-cross the Ox. "Show him his motivation," says the villain (hefty D. Michael Kane) about Freddy, as he flashes a roll of bills.
The motivation for Charlie the Ox wasn't money, but the chance to show that a professional-looking and soulful movie could be made in the area. Smith says, "If this screening at Cinequest turns out to be our last hurrah, it's proof that we could do it. It cost us a lot of money and time, but it was a lifelong dream."

If you've been playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine this week you might have noticed some problems with the online multiplayer. While the problems with matchmaking in the PC version of the game have been fixed, PlayStation 3 owners aren't quite as lucky. Wait times to get into a match on PSN can exceed 35 minutes. While THQ have a patch coming to remedy the problem, the fact that such a substantial bug managed to get past the Relic Entertainment's quality control is really troubling.
Space Marine's co-op campaign won't be dropping for another three weeks. While it will be coming in the form of free DLC, between that and these bugs, it's begining to look like THQ shipped an unfinished product. Unfortunately they're in between a rock and a hard place with the fast-coming holiday season. Pushing the game back would mean increased competition for upcoming titles like next week's Gears of War 3. Hopefully THQ's attempts to expedite the patch will be successful. It would be nice to get in a match within a couple of minutes of booting up the console for once.
I actually held off on buying this game specifically because THQ made such a mess of Homefront and had similar issues… a great game but a crappy infrastructure. Homefront on the PS3 was near impossible to play with friends because the group function didn't work and they had similar matchmaking issues (with the added insult of waiting in a game lobby for the numbers to be high enough for a launch, only to be booted from the lobby for idling!)
I do hope that they get this resolved… but the Homefront intial patch did absolutely nothing to correct these issues. THQ needs better quality control before shoving half assed games out the door. The games themselves are totally ruined by poor infrastructure. They need to either go back to a simple server browser system, or fix their concept of matchmaking. -
why is it when i play online that the game will not let me proceed past level 5? it has stuck on 1 point behind from level 6?

The Dog Days of Summer
Summer rolls around and that means a few certainties for me. First, I will be following and cheering for my daughter's fast pitch softball team as they make their annual push to qualify for the Western Regionals. Second, I will be down at the Santa Cruz Beach & Boardwalk at least twice (my kids love theme parks) and third, I will get to visit a few Santa Cruz wineries on the way to or from the land of deep fried Snickers bars, over priced popcorn and over-the-hill musicians trying to stay relevant (Can anyone say Eddie Money!?)
All kidding aside, Santa Cruz is indeed home to a great beach community with its fair share of hippy-like 'beach bums', a terrific college (The University of California, Santa Cruz) and many a surrounding winery. Though wineries like Ridge and Mount Eden Vineyards are amongst the most venerable and established names in California wine, Santa Cruz is only recently on the global radar screen- and it's long overdue.

Behind The Scenes With The Wolverines Behind The Scenes With The Wolverines On The Scene: The WCC Tournament Through Photos On The Scene: The WCC Tournament Through Photos Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More One And One LSU recruit Ben Simmons could be the next ambassador of Australian basketball by Jeremy Woo Twitter Email Posted: Fri Apr. 18, 2014 Updated: Sat Jun. 14, 2014 Ben Simmons chose to attend Montverde without ever stepping foot on the school's Florida campus. (Kelly Kline/Getty)Ben Simmons hunched uncomfortably behind a table at Madison Square Garden, with a towel over his shoulder and a microphone in front of him. Montverde Academy's 17-year-old junior forward had just led his team to a second consecutive national high school title, winning MVP honors in the process. Save for the white National Champions hat pulled low over his brow with tag still attached, you wouldn't have known it.The Australian-born Simmons listened quietly as his coach, Kevin Boyle fielded questions from media. Boyle discussed not what his star had just accomplished against Oak Hill Academy, but what was left for him to do – the improvements necessary to be a star, not just a contributor in the NBA.It's tough to blame Boyle. When you watch a player like Simmons, all you can see is the future, which will begin at the collegiate level in 2015 with the LSU Tigers. At 6-9, he moves unstoppably on the fast break, handling the ball and seeing the floor like a guard. He's explosive off the floor, strokes left-handed threes and defends the 2, 3 and 4. He's like the unfairly rated player your little brother created on Xbox.Then, Boyle was asked about the past. In a narrow win the day before, Simmons took just seven shots. He still made six of them, but seven shots weren't enough, Boyle said, as he'd reminded his team several times. Ben had to touch the ball more.Today, everyone listened. Simmons had taken 20 shots and made 11 of them. He had scored 24 points while still finding time to snatch 11 rebounds and dish out 5 assists. Montverde had won comfortably.For Simmons, learning to maximize his scoring output will be critical at the next levels, where his other gifts -- passing, rebounding, shot-blocking -- will translate, but won't be enough to make him the superstar Boyle believes he can be.It's all part of an ongoing adjustment to the American game, a process that has paid major dividends in just a year and a half."The basketball culture is a lot different in Australia," says Simmons. "It's more of a team-organized thing, and here it's a lot of individual play. You have to kind of change your game style. I'm definitely learning I need to be more selfish and take over the game sometimes."Ben's father Dave, a 6-8 bruiser from the Bronx, played professionally overseas for 15 years. While starring for the Melbourne Tigers of Australia's National Basketball League in the early '90s, he met his wife Julie, an Australian native with four children from a previous marriage. Shortly after, their daughter Olivia was born -- but the couple would struggle to conceive another child.Five years later, they had Ben, who was born in Melbourne during the Opening Ceremonies of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Ben learned to take care of the basketball from a young age. (Photo courtesy of the Simmons family)"I think it was an omen," says Julie, "that he was destined for big things. Ben grew up in the gym -- my husband was playing basketball, the kids were playing basketball, so Ben had no choice but to be dragged around from stadium to stadium, from a newborn basically."Ben began walking at 10 months and started running shortly after his first birthday. Six months later, he started dribbling the ball with a pacifier in his mouth.Noticing his son's quickly improving skills, Dave placed Ben in camps and clinics with much older players. By age 5, he was practicing with 12-year-olds. Basketball came to him easily, but competition didn't."I never wanted to play in the games," he says. "I was kind of nervous and shy. I used to sit on the bench with my mom. She used to always say, 'I'll give you 100 dollars if you go play.'"Once Ben took the floor for the first time, the nerves disappeared. He surprised even his father by making the local U-12 club as a 7-year-old. Also starring in rugby and Australian rules football, Ben attributes his competitive edge to playing with older boys. And the older he got, the more notoriety he gained -- soon enough, he was considered the top player in his age group within the Australian systems. He'd grown to 6-8 at age 15, using his guard skills to get into the paint and his newfound size to dunk everything.But the best competition was across the Pacific. In Australia, American high school stars are the standard by which youth players are measured. And when an invitation arrived from the prestigious Pangos All-American camp in 2012, the time had come for Ben, an American dual citizen, to test himself."I'm not even sure how I got the invite," he says. "It said DeAndre Jordan and Brandon Jennings had been to it. I thought it was just a joke. Then my dad called me, and explained they wanted me to come to the camp. That's when I got really excited."The camp was Simmons' first appearance stateside, and he didn't disappoint, earning a spot in the all-star game as one of the youngest kids at the camp. Every major recruiting service and countless scouts looked on as Simmons shone alongside future All-Americans Wayne Selden, Stanley Johnson and Cliff Alexander. He left California an elite prospect."It was a breakout event for him," says camp director Dinos Trigonis. "He was a big, very versatile forward that could play inside-outside, didn't force the issue and let the game come to him. He was a very skilled player, very polished, with a terrific all-around game."After Pangos, Ben started receiving mail from the top American prep schools and the interest was mutual. The closely-knit Simmons family mulled over the options. He had older siblings in the States -- sister Emily working in Chicago, brother Liam an assistant coach at Nicholls State in Louisiana. They'd be around to look out for him. The decision was especially difficult for Julie, letting her last child leave home – to go halfway around the world, at that. But the move had been on Dave's mind for a long time, as he watched Ben dominate at every Australian youth level."It was more or less about Ben continuing to improve," he says. "We knew to get him to realize his potential, he needed to get over to the States and play with kids similar to him in size and athleticism. We started to wonder what would happen if he stayed here, and if this was going to be the best option for him."Ben and his family chose Montverde Academy, a small boarding school outside of Orlando with a considerable amount of international students and strong academic support. The basketball program was nationally prominent, and offered the chance to play for Boyle -- who had developed NBA players including Kyrie Irving and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist while coaching St. Patrick High School in New Jersey.Simmons had befriended Montverde stars Kasey Hill and Dakari Johnson at Adidas Nations and the U17 World Championships the previous summer, liked the idea of Florida weather and embraced the challenge of American ball. He decided on the school without ever setting foot on campus. He enrolled at Montverde in January 2013, and quickly won over his new coach."I was impressed with the way he carried himself," says Boyle. "He's confident, yet humble and respectful. You could feel right away that he would fit in, because it's important here that the athletes especially don't think they're more important than anyone else in the school. If you have that attitude here, you won't last long. He fit the mold right away."Joining the country's top-ranked high school team, Simmons, coming off a minor knee injury, eased in while the Eagles blazed their way to a national high school championship. Simmons dealt with homesickness, living away from his parents for the first time over those first six months. Simmons could be the next star for the Australian national team. (Sandra Mu/Getty)Simmons decided to head back to Australia for the summer to train -- and his services were in high demand. He accepted an invitation to play for the Australian men's national team (known as the Boomers), and became the youngest player ever to appear in a game for the senior side, logging minutes against New Zealand in the Oceania Series."The thing that really stood out to me the first time I saw him in our environment was his ability to see the floor, pass and create for others," says Boomers head coach Andrej Lemanis. "That's a special skill, and that's an Australian style. Everybody creates for the good of the team. We believe making the extra pass is a good way to play."Simmons fit right in with the senior team alongside childhood friend Dante Exum, an 18-year-old guard and projected lottery selection in June's NBA draft. Both have American fathers -- Dante's father Cecil played at North Carolina with Michael Jordan before playing pro in Australia -- and offer elite athleticism that the Boomers have never had."In practice, Ben was playing defense and got blown by, which as a coach is frustrating," remembers Lemanis. "But as the guy was going to the rim, Ben turned, pinned the ball on the backboard, got the ball off the backboard, took two dribbles and led the break down the other way, which ended up in a score. Maybe that was just part of his strategy."Before the start of his junior season, Simmons ended his college recruitment, giving a verbal commitment to LSU. After taking an unofficial visit to Baton Rouge, Simmons chose the Tigers over offers from Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and others. LSU had an early in, thanks to assistant coach David Patrick -- Dave's former teammate, and Ben's godfather."At the time David became his godfather, no one was thinking anything about what was going to happen," says the elder Simmons, who lived with Patrick during their playing days. "We weren't thinking, 'Years down the track, I'll be recruiting him.' He's a great family friend."With the World Championships approaching this summer, Lemanis hopes Ben will be able to attend his first training camp in May. With Simmons and Exum in the fold and young players including Matthew Dellavedova and Patty Mills logging significant NBA minutes, Australian basketball has hit an upswing. Though Ben's not guaranteed a spot on the roster, he'll get a long look."I think that just speaks to the quality of development we have here in this country," says Lemanis. "We're a long way from everyone else, and I think sometimes that gets us overlooked by the rest of the world, but I think the proof is starting to be in the products."With the win over Oak Hill, Eagles finished the season 28-0 (their sole loss to Chicago Curie was reversed by forfeit after it was revealed the Condors used ineligible players). He was just named the MaxPreps Junior Player of the Year. Next season, a third consecutive national title will be within reach.Next week, Simmons will debut on the American AAU circuit for Orlando-based Each 1 Teach 1. He'll have plenty of opportunities to play in front of scouts and evaluators, with the No. 1 ranking in the 2015 class up for grabs. Given all he's done to this point, it's easy to make the case that he should already hold it.In a year, Simmons will prepare to take on the college game, and in two, he could be the next one-and-done star to make the NBA jump. For a kid who's always played above his years, the progression is natural. "He's improving constantly," says Boyle. "The scary part is, I think he'll be even better next year. He's really improving his shot. I think he'll be taking more jump shots, developing his pull-up and his second move when someone helps. When that happens, and he's not that far, it's going to be scary. The sky could be the limit for him." Promoted Stories Comments

Electrical conductivity of fluorite and pyrochlore LnxZr1-xO2-x/2 (Ln = Gd, Nd) Solid Solutions
Dijk, T. van and Vries, K.J. de and Burggraaf, A.J. (1980) Electrical conductivity of fluorite and pyrochlore LnxZr1-xO2-x/2 (Ln = Gd, Nd) Solid Solutions. Physica Status Solidi A: Applied research, 58 (1). pp. 115-125. ISSN 0031-8965
704kB |
Abstract: | The ionic conductivity of ceramic GdxZr1-xO2-x/2 and NdxZr1-xO2-x/2 solid solutions is measured as a function of composition. Both solid solutions are of the defect fluorite type and the fluorite-related ordered pyrochlore phase is present around the stoichiometric compositions Gd2Zr2O7 and Nd2Zr2O7. As a function of composition the conductivity goes through a maximum for stoichiometric Gd2Zr2O7 whereas the conductivity is minimal for Nd2Zr2O7. It appears that at the stoichiometric pyrochlore composition both, activation enthalpy H and pre-exponential factor 0 are minimal and that the absolute magnitude of the pre-exponential factor accounts for the difference in the net conductivity effect of the systems studied. The results obtained from both, single crystalline and ceramic samples can be correlated with the defect structure and ordering in the anion sublattice and with deviations of Vegard's law in the fluorite subcell dimensions. No discontinuity of Q0 or δH is observed at the fluorite-pyrochlore phase boundary. This suggests the existence of a hybrid phase around the fluorite-pyrochlore phase boundary in this type of system. |

What Is A Good Suit?
THERE IS A GRADING SYSTEM for suits which is quite arbitrary; in fact it is written into the contracts between labor unions and clothing manufacturers. A Number Six suit, the highest grade, is made almost completely with hand labor; a Number Four suit has a good deal of hand stitching, particularly in the jacket, and the rest is done by machine. A Number Two suit has almost no hand stitching. In the trade, suits numbered Two or lower are known as "sanitary suits" because they are "untouched by human hands." Since bad pressing can ruin a suit no matter how well made, the higher grade suits get more careful treatment during the original pressing done at the factory. A presser finishing Number Six suits does about four and a half garments in an eight-hour day. A Number Two suit generally costs less than $100; a Number Four, from $135-$160; a Number Six, over $200, sometimes far over.
But the matter does not end there. Nothing has been said about the material. Since the number of yard goods manufacturers have decreased (see discussion of Double Knits), the buying habits of clothing manufacturers have changed considerably. It used to be that makers of Number Six suits would not find themselves bidding against the makers of Number Two suits for the same material. Today it happens all the time.
Number Six manufacturers, with prices rising all around them, are faced with the problem of cutting costs somewhere to keep their suits, though naturally expensive, from becoming so expensive that not even an affluent customer can afford them. Frequently that cost is cut by using a good material rather than the best. Number Four manufacturers, on the other hand, have found that their suits, though not constructed with the precision of the Number Sixes, sell quite well when made from superior material, even at the higher price that that material will necessitate. Consequently, it is not unusual to find a Number Four suit made from better material than a Number Six, even though a Number Six still costs noticeably more.
A Number Four suit is a good suit, a satisfying garment for all but the most fastidious dressers. In the $150 to $200 price range, they are eminently acceptable for most everyone's business and social occasions. If you're not content to judge just by price, and you shouldn't be, these pointers will help you come to an independent conclusion:
1) Check the material. Is it soft enough to be comfortable or will the suit stand in a corner on its own? Crinkle a small part of the trouser leg in your hand. Does it wrinkle easily? Does the material stretch slightly? That's desirable; but if it stretches, watch how it recovers. A fabric slow to return to its natural shape will soon sag.
2) Check the lining. Is it good material? Is it well sewn, tight stitches, no sloppy threads? Is it hand sewn (distinguishable by irregularity between the stitches)?
3) Check the back seam of the jacket. Is the sewing clean? Is it by hand? Does the seam hang straight and lie flat?
4) Turn up the collar and look at the seam. The collar is a very important part of the suit. If it is tailored incorrectly, the jacket simply will not fit properly. The collar, therefore, should be hand sewn.
5) Examine the buttons. They should not be sewn flat against the fabric but have a short throat of wound thread. They should not be made of plastic, though this is not an absolute test. Some manufacturers of cheaper suits use very fancy buttons.
6) The slacks can have considerable machine stitching without great loss of quality. Still, the work should be clean, not frayed or cluttered with extra thread, and the seams straight and neatly gathered.
7) If the suit or jacket is plaid or any other prominent pattern, be sure it is "mitered" properly. Neither the chest nor side pockets should interrupt the pattern; and the sleeves, when hanging straight, should themselves continue the pattern as if they were part of the body of the jacket.
Do not be inhibited in making such examinations. A store selling good merchandise will not be afraid of what you find. In fact, they'll probably be happy to sell to someone who understands the quality he's getting. By the same token, if you've asked to see an $80 suit, don't then complain to the salesman about the lack of hand stitching. In clothing, if not in love, you get what you pay for.
Is That Tie Really Hand Sewn?
For a while there was a rumor floating around that if a tie's lining was striped, the tie was hand sewn. Whether or not that was ever true, it's not true now. Clothing manufacturers keep their ears to the ground for such rumors. Had this one gained widespread credence, every tie in America would have striped lining.
There is one sure way to tell. Turn the tie over and look at the broad end. Is there a thread dangling from somewhere within the tie? That's left after the seamstress ties off her last stitch. Machine-sewn ties don't have it. Yet.
Another fashion myth is that a suit whose jacket is fully lined is a good suit. Remember that lining can cover up bad work as well as good. A $50 suit that is fully lined is a $50 suit that is fully lined.
Staying Fashionable While Staying Solvent: A Few Hints
Remember that the noticeably new soon looks noticeably old. Men's fashions change rather slowly so that a well-made, well-fitted suit should look stylish for at least three years and maybe, depending on the suit and the times, for as long as five. So look at the suit you're thinking about buying. Are you going to like yourself for buying it three years from now? If you aren't, you can spend your money in a better way. Remember that while you may buy gimmicks, you must choose style.
That doesn't mean, however, that you must never buy a

New Book Shows Why Childhood Abuse can Lead to Chronic Illness and Premature Death in Adults, and How Abuse Survivors can Heal. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Adults who have been abused or neglected as children have higher rates of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and are more likely to die at younger ages. New book by Praeclarus Press Editor, Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, Treating the Lifetime Health Effects of Childhood Abuse, 2nd Edition, describes why child abuse survivors are more likely to get sick–and more importantly, what they can do to heal.
Amarillo, Texas (PRWEB) April 27, 2013
Research over the last two decades has clearly shown that men and women who were abused as children are more likely to suffer from serious diseases, such heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and die at younger ages than their non-abused counterparts. Abuse survivors are also more likely to have chronic conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and chronic headaches.
A key question is why does child abuse make people sick?
In her new book, Treating the Lifetime Health Effects of Childhood Abuse,2nd Edition, health psychologist and Praeclarus Press´s Editor-in-Chief, Kathleen Kendall-Tackett synthesizes 20 years of research to describe why child abuse increases the risk of health problems in adults. Dr. Kendall-Tackett describes five ways by which abuse can impact health.
- Physiological changes. Childhood trauma can change the body. Abuse survivors become more vulnerable to stress, may not sleep well, and often have a lowered pain threshold, which means higher rates of chronic pain syndromes.
- Harmful behaviors. Abuse survivors are more likely to engage in harmful behaviors, such as smoking, substance abuse, and high-risk sexual behavior.
- Negative beliefs about themselves or others. Childhood abuse changes the way abuse survivors see the world. They are more likely to have poor self-esteem, blame themselves for the abuse, or feel shame. They are less likely to trust others and more likely to believe that others want to harm them.
- Dysfunctional social relationships. Abuse survivors also have higher rates of revictimization in current partnerships. Even if there is no abuse in the relationship, abuse survivors are more likely to get divorced or report lower satisfaction with their current partners than people who have not been abused. They may be very socially isolated, or they may be caregivers to many without receiving any care in return.
- Poor emotional health. Abuse survivors are more likely to be depressed, or have posttraumatic stress disorder or anxiety disorders.
Each of these pathways by themselves can negatively impact health the health of abuse survivors. Unfortunately, abuse survivors usually have more than one of these factors present. The more types of abuse that someone has experienced as a child, the higher the risk of serious health problems for adults.
Fortunately, there is much abuse survivors can do to improve their health. By understanding all of the factors that are involved, interventions can be targeted to specifically address the issues abuse survivors face. A key intervention is helping abuse survivors become less vulnerable to stress. Some ways to help with stress include Omega-3 fatty acids, exercise, cognitive therapy, sleep interventions, and for women, breastfeeding.
"In this remarkable text Kendall-Tackett synthesizes theory and empirical data to arrive at a fascinating review of the impact of child abuse. Examining multiple pathways across physiology, cognition, emotion, behavior, and social variables, she assembles a volume that is simply a tour de force for scientists, clinicians, and students of trauma."–Terence M. Keane, Ph.D., VA National Center for Post-traumatic Stress Disorders & Boston University School of Medicine
"This book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date available on the impact of childhood trauma and adversity. It has a clear and compelling model, a thorough review of the research, and a frank grasp of the complexity of the problem. Throughout it is infused with a sense of compassion for survivors and a vision of how to heal." –David Finkelhor, Ph.D., Crimes against Children Research Center, University of New Hampshire
Treating the Lifetime Health Effects of Childhood Abuse, 2nd Edition, is published by Civic Research Institute. Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, Ph.D., is Editor-in-Chief of Praeclarus Press, a small press specializing in women´s health.

Refiners may consider using alliances with contractors to shorten design and construction time for environmentally driven projects
Due to worldwide environmental mandates, refiners will be considering how to cost-effectively reconfigure their operations and process "cleaner fuels." The primary focus of these new regulations is the reduction of sulfur in gasoline and diesel. Other rules mandate reduced levels of aromatics, especially benzene, olefins and oxygenates. These changes will be phased in. With some exceptions, clean-fuels projects will be implemented only to meet impending government regulations. Yet, refiners must strive to increase profitability and achieve acceptable rates of return on capital for these investments.
"Green fuel" projects. The main drivers for refiners who need to implement clean fuels projects are:

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Waiting to Hear From You
I believe I made the starter post right. It wouldn't let me start a thread in the TTC section, until I tried from my phone! Of course I couldn't do everything from my phone so I had to crawl out of bed to fix up the November ONE Thread for y'all. I'm not sure if I should remove @momof2trying43 and @anjalisa. Are you two out there?
Anyway, today marks our switch to TTA. Just for the month though. Not like I'm ovulating anyway, lol. I hope everyone had a good Halloween/Samhain. We had fun. DS got tired partway through trick or treating but he did end up with a lot of candy. I should get to bed now though. I'm hoping I get this thread admin thing right!
Add me to waiting to know
ETA: somewhere between 3-5dpo
We're starting to BD again tonight. I'm taking a more low-key attitude to this cycle: not temping or using an OPK. Just regular BD every other day. We got the results from my husband's latest semen analysis and motility is back to normal. Counts are still low (5 million), but they're rising. So we're hopeful.
We use PreSeed as lube whenever we have sex to try to conceive. I use the applicator to insert it right before we start. Haven't had a positive result yet, but that's because of the low sperm count.
WifeofAnt, thank you for taking the thread! I know it was difficult with all the glitches. It looks beautiful!
Good luck everybody!!
Hello, ladies! I would like to get added to the thread. I am getting back to TTC after a miscarriage in September. My first AF came 4 days ago and is winding down now, so I am hoping to ovulate in about 2 weeks, which was my pattern before the miscarriage. My first cycle was insane - 44 days. I am both excited and nervous. Here is my chart: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/helenne32

Are you guys using maca root or anything?
AFM - Argh, my teeth are killing me. I really need to get at least one of my wisdom teeth out but I don't have dental insurance and don't want to spend so much money. I might end up getting forced to have the one out because its partially erupted and I've already needed antibiotics for it once because stuff gets in between the tooth and the gum. I haven't been able to open my mouth all the way in a while without some pretty bad pain.
I also had another fake fertile phase. I think, if I don't ovulate by the 20th, I might ask my doctor for Provera. If my body is trying to use the same egg each time it starts over it's probably going to be no good if I ovulate this cycle anyway.
Yeah, he just started taking FertilAid for Men and Count Boost. He had his vasectomy reversal in May, so we're still in the normal recovery period. I'm also drinking FertiliTea and taking Evening Primrose Oil for cervical mucous, so our counter looks nuts. :) But it doesn't hurt and it makes us feel like we're doing all we can.
emilyg25 - I've heard *amazing* things about maca root. I'm guessing FertilAid is going to have some of that in it. I have DH taking some maca root and multivitamins 'just because'. We didn't conceive DS until about 3 months after he started vitamins so maybe there was something to it last time. Maybe it was a coincidence.
AFM -Its a little depressing knowing that no matter when or how this cycle ends that I won't have a "2WW", since my time window closed and I didn't ovulate (no August due dates!). If I ovulate pretty close after my time window opens again, I'll be able to POAS around Christmas or New Year's. DS will be 3y9m at my earliest EDD. Never would I have imagined a 4 year gap when I was pregnant with him!
Welcome Kaliakra! I'm sorry to hear of your mc in Sept ;( Sounds like your cycle is picking right back up though, and it is rumored that fertility is higher for 3 or so cycles afterwards. Lets keep our fingers crossed for a big turnaround!
wife - you really got right on it making sure we had a new Nov thread. nice work - and thanks! Is not ovulating something new for you? Wisdom teeth are such a pain (literally and figuratively). You could always apply clove oil until you get it squared away. Clove oil is mildly antiseptic and it dulls pain. My md used it after my wisdom teeth were removed (had dry sockets) and it was a lifesaver. The pulsing radiating pain stopped within a minute.
scjp - still nothing? when will you retest? Re Preseed, I usually have decent CM so lube hasn't been an issue... UNTIL last month when I started taking Femaprin. Whoa - it was as if I was on max decongestants all month! We just used Preseed like normal lube (it was our first time trying it). It seemed like good stuff though. -btw I stopped Femaprin (it has vitex in it) when AF arrived and CM is back to normal this month.
emily - I can totally understand that desire to feel like we're doing all we can. Same here - it seems like conception is my new full time job! Have you noticed any changes in your body since starting the supplements?
AFM - CD 9 and nothing to report. One question though - I started using OPK sticks on CD4 since I have short cycles and I've never used those before. Aside from the dark control line, there was a very faint line that progressively got lighter each day through CD 6, then it was completely negative on CD 7. I really felt like we conceived last month bc I had very out-of-the-ordinary symptoms but I didn't do a proper HCG test... AF came a day late and that was that. Do you guys think the fading on the OPK sticks could indicate the lessening of HCG after a chem pregnancy?
Alivewithyou - If you aren't charting, you're going to want to keep trying. It can take a few months off of birth control for your body to get back into the swing of things. You may ovulate late or you might not ovulate at all. Every other day until your period shows up should cover it. If it doesn't, I'd test when you think you're "late" and a week after that.
innacircle - I'm coming off of Depo Provera. Its no longer "effective" but it could still take a while for my body to start ovulating again. I'm just going to sit and wait until January (when it should be undetectable in my blood) but we're going to use barriers for the month because we're avoiding August due dates.
WifeofAnt thanks for adding me, I've already O'd, can you move me to waiting to know?
Waiting to O! ( And my first post:)) LMP was 10-20-2013, I O on the 3rd of Nov ( my body is like clock work) This will be my SO and I's first child. After having a 13 week miscarriage in June, and losing my children and burying another...we are REALLY hoping for this. Grasping at straws for healing I suppose, but it is what it is.
Hi everyone!
Thank you wifeofant for this thread! I'm on CD 20, testing with opk every day, all negative. I'm also temping for the first time since after the first ppaf... everyday is pretty much the same but temp dipped yesterday, so I'm hopeful! Opk still negative though. Will I ever ovulate? If I had a ppaf, does that mean I ovulated? My daughter is still nursing a lot...
Sorry, lots of rambling on my part..
scjp1109-- I conceived twice on pre-seed. I had almost no cervical mucus so decided to try pre-seed after after 2 years of TTC and never got pregnant. Well, there were other reasons for that, but the 2 cycles we used pre-seed I conceived both times (miscarried first and conceived immediately after), so I think it's pretty awesome. Back then I was checking my cervical position to determine ovulation, and just used it on the days around ovulation.
DH thinks I'm nuts but I'm spending my time being an information sponge. Reading "The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant" and found this little nugget.
Maybe, even *if* the egg survives 12-24 hours its not really a 'good egg' if its not fertilized almost immediately? Interesting.
Hi all! Happy November! I'm on day 28 of my cycle. Had some spotting today. I'm pretty sure it's AF. This is our 2nd month of trying. I guess getting pregnant could take a while. I'm a little sad, but still hopeful.
I'm thinking of having my partner take some vitamins. What is suppose to help?
I have been taking vitex and while i'm pretty sure i am not pregnant, PMS was decreased this month. At least one win!
I know it is super early but I still feel very different.. mostly just in my pelvis.. just feels "heavy" almost and I keep getting random twinges.
OregonMoon - For starters, a good multivitamin with zinc and selenium. Whatever changes you make for him, know that it takes almost 80 days for sperm to grow from start to finish. There will be some improvement before then but the best improvements will be around 90 days after making changes.
Innacircle - what a coincidence! I just picked it up from the library this morning. I'm a fast reader

Waterfront shanties earn their keep
Written by Paul Gauvin
May 29, 2008
The business of art is doing quite well along the Hyannis Harbor.
Paul Gauvin photos
NET INCOME- Roz Lukasewski of Cape Cod Lady Slipper Jewelry said her first year last year in a waterfront shanty tenant was "awesome."
The seven so-called artist shanties at Bismore Park, now eclipsed by a new, scene-stealing two-story harbormaster building, produced $130,000 in collective income for artists last season, said Beth Dillen, special projects coordinator for the town's Growth Management Department.
"I did an awesome business last year," concurred Roz Lukasewski, of Cape Cod Lady Slipper Jewelry. "People like to take home a piece of Cape Cod." Pointing to the proximity to the water and shoreline, she said, "Can't get any better than this - seashells and the water."
For its part, the town collected $11,000 from the rentals, Dillen said. Six of the seven shanties are rented to various artists for $400 a month while the seventh is set aside for itinerant artists who rent by the week for $175.
The shanties opened for weekends on May 17 and will begin daily summer hours June 14 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
While there are only seven shanties, named after their color, there are 14 artists who have contracted with the town for their use. Dillen said most of the shanties are split between two tenants who display their products simultaneously.
Renting and sharing one of the shanties for the first time this year is photographer Beth Higgins of Sandwich, whose photography has appeared in numerous publications.
Higgins' Cape photographs, although she started with a film camera, are taken with a Nikon D-70 digital camera. "It doesn't miss a shot," she said while simultaneously making change for an early buyer last weekend.
"This (the shanties) is a very good thing Barnstable did," she said, noting the she is looking forward to a "good year" on the waterfront venue.
The Blue Shanty has four tenants displaying their wares at different times this year while the White Shanty is reserved to highlight a variety of local artists on a weekly rotting basis at $175 a week.
Of the 14 artists sharing six shanties, six are newcomers while eight are returning for another season.
Among the new:
Trish Semrau Holloway
, a watercolorist who also uses pen and ink in her work. She has painted in Scotland and France and en plein aire (French-in the open air) in this region. Holloway exhibits at the Middleboro Art Gallery and is an event planner and calligrapher.
Rick Paulus
, a former White House chief calligrapher, is also a verbal artist presenting prose and poetry that reflects the special qualities of season, light and air on Cape Cod, also drawing from the Cape's rich maritime past, and is known for masterful invitations, menus and place cards.
Deborah Harper
, a hat designer who studied fashion design and millinery at the Fashion Institute of New York, offers hats that have been featured in
Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Women's Wear
New York Magazine
Beth Higgins
, photographer whose work has appeared on the covers of numerous publications including those of the Cape Cod and Falmouth chambers of commerce and Payomet Performing Arts Center. She offers her work on fine art canvas, uniquely framed and matted.
D. Randolph Foulde,
38-yearspecialist in architectural interiors for home magazines and teacher of photography whose passion is fine art landscape photography. His work includes large archival limited editions and smaller pieces sold to corporate clients and interior designers.
Robert John Cook
, plein-aire painter, pen and ink artist and a descendant of five Pilgrims, has more than 25 years' experience in capturing Cape Cod's charm and presence in a collectable series of seascape themed pieces.
Returning this year are
Margo Sherman
of Tapestries Unlimited, hand-made totes, shoulder bags, placemats, coasters, wine bottle bags and other items in a variety of fabrics;
Sue Patev
of Sea Hag Sue, designer of shell wreaths, clay and beaded jewelry and one-of-a-kind polymer mermaid jewelry returning for her fourth year; and
Sandra Bordeaux
, watercolor and oils, murals, juried member of the Cape Cod Art Association.
Barry Olofsson
, treasurer of the Cape Cod Art Association, former businessman who has established himself in oil, pastel and charcoal portraiture, maritime and local village scenes;
Colleen Vandeventer
, instructor at Studio 5 in North Attleboro, works in oil and pastels, plein aire landscape and studio still-life painting; and
Bonnie Conlon
, decorative artist, floral designs and landscapes indigenous to Cape Cod, whose handpainted giftware can be personalized or made to order.
Bonnie Perry,
wearable glass art of hand-made glass beads and wire wrapped jewelry; and
Rosalind "Roz" Lukasewski
, Ladyslipper seashell jewelry pieces, the shells hand selected from Cape Cod shores.

In large stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel, the stellar core collapses to a hot and dense proto-neutron star that cools by the radiation of neutrinos and antineutrinos of all flavors. Depending on its final mass, this may become either a neutron star or a black hole. Black hole formation may be triggered by mass accretion or a change in the high-density equation of state. We consider the possibility that black hole formation happens when the flux of neutrinos is still measurably high. If this occurs, then the neutrino signal from the supernova will be terminated abruptly (the transition takes ≲0.5 ms). The properties and duration of the signal before the cutoff are important measures of both the physics and astrophysics of the cooling proto-neutron star. For the event rates expected in present and proposed detectors, the cutoff will generally appear sharp, thus allowing model-independent time-of-flight mass tests for the neutrinos after the cutoff. If black hole formation occurs relatively early, within a few (∼1) seconds after core collapse, then the expected luminosities are of order LBH=1052 erg/s per flavor. In this case, the neutrino mass sensitivity can be extraordinary. For a supernova at a distance D=10 kpc, SuperKamiokande can detect a ν̅e mass down to 1.8 eV by comparing the arrival times of the high-energy and low-energy neutrinos in ν̅e+p→e++n. This test will also measure the cutoff time, and will thus allow a mass test of νμ and ντ relative to ν̅e. Assuming that νμ and ντ are nearly degenerate, as suggested by the atmospheric neutrino results, masses down to about 6 eV can be probed with a proposed lead detector of mass MD=4 kton (OMNIS). Remarkably, the neutrino mass sensitivity scales as (D/LBHMD)1/2. Therefore, direct sensitivity to all three neutrino masses in the interesting few-eV range is realistically possible; there are no other known techniques that have this capability.
