On Feb. 7, 2008, in my hometown of Port Wentworth, 14 people lost their lives in one of the worst industrial accidents in our state's history. The horrible explosion that night at the Imperial Sugar plant changed the lives of many in the greater Savannah area, reminding us how fragile life is and how important emergency services are.
I don't give a flip whether Jason Carter is elected to the Georgia state senate or not. He won't represent me because I don't live in Georgia's 42nd district. What I do care about is that his grandfather, Jimmy Carter, is at it again.
Recent decisions by the Liberty County Industrial Authority indicate that they are considering not continuing a request for the sewage treatment plant permit. The decision has little to do with the environment. It has to do with financial issues within Liberty County.
This weekend our nation will celebrate Mother's Day. It is a special day and I look forward to reinforcing with my mother how special and important she is in my life.
Day 39 (Tuesday, April 27): Today, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that the last two days of the session are here. The bad news is that there is still a tremendous amount of work left to be done as is evidenced by the 53 bills we have on the calendar today. And while the sheer number of bills is intimidating, of even more concern is the importance of the bills involved. While the more glamorous bills such as ethics, transportation and property tax reform have been discussed and debated in the media and different ...
It is official, the 2010 legislative session of the Georgia General Assembly adjourned Sine Die and came to an end midnight on Thursday, April 29. After spending months devoting our time and commitment in Atlanta under the Gold Dome. After being in session for 40 legislative days spread out over four months, continual committee meetings, agreements and disagreements, the members which represent people from all over our state came together and finished the work of the people. The two days of session this week the members worked into the late hours passing legislation. Key pieces of legislation were passed this ...
There are seven offices up for grabs in Bryan County. Four are on the board of education, three on the county commission.
The 2010 session of the Georgia General Assembly came to an end late last Thursday night, several hours after lawmakers finalized a $17.9 billion state budget for fiscal year 2011. Having started Jan. 11, this was the longest legislative session on record since the 1880s.
Animal-rescue groups from Liberty County and surrounding areas, while working for a very noble cause, are slowly tearing down their own credibility. The infighting among these groups is hurting their reputations and, possibly, turning off potential donors.
The Georgia Legislature has finally approved a funding mechanism for transportation. Next comes the jockeying for placement on project lists among advocates, agencies and authorities for the various modes. Just because there's finally an opportunity for transportation funding, however, doesn't mean throwing good money after bad. Taxpayers must be vigilant and demand sound solutions and bang for their buck – or their 1 percent sales tax, to be precise.
Some recent thoughts, in no particular order. No particular order at all.
Well, there you go! I spend time and take up valuable space in this paper telling people that offshore oil well drilling has a sterling reputation of success where oil spills are a concern and bingo! We now have the first serious oil rig spill in the history of the industry. I hope and pray the flow is stopped before the slick reaches the fragile eco-systems of the Chaudeleurs Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
Just a few weeks ago, most seemed glad to hear that President Barack Obama planned to open up areas off the Atlantic - and Georgia - coast to offshore drilling for oil. But there should be some second thoughts and careful assessment in the wake of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which is getting worse by the day.
Now that the legislative session is (drum roll, please) history, it is time to turn our sights to the governor's race.
Editor, National Small Business Week was May 4-9, but the must-attend event for small business entrepreneurs this month is the Mayor's Small Business Conference on May 20.
You are going to have to give me a little scat room today. I am having an attack of the nostalgias. Going down someone else's Memory Lane can be as boring as a lecture on the life cycle of guppies, but this has been a reflective few weeks for me. My beloved Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Georgia and the campus chapter of my college fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, both celebrated their 100th anniversaries this past month in Athens.
On May 22, my youngest child will graduate from high school, and I am ecstatic to see her turn that tassel and move on to her next chapter in life.
Once on "The Andy Griffith Show," Ernest T. Bass tried to join the Army. Several times, Barney says comically, "He's a nut!"
Someone asked the question, "Is Buddy Carter beholden to oil?" Would approximately $400,000 from a super PAC in Texas that represents big-oil interests mean anything? After all, the folks in Texas want Georgia to have good representation in Washington.
April certainly was the month for showers this year.
What if you were told that 95 percent of Georgians are using a product that may not always be the best value for money?
A college education in Georgia just got less affordable. Tuition is rising again in the wake of cuts in state funds for the university system. The HOPE Scholarship covers far less than it used to, and many students do not receive it. A college degree is more important than ever, yet it may be priced out of reach for many students.
Editor, I, along with many other Americans, breathed a sigh of relief at the news that the six officers involved in the Freddie Gray case in Baltimore will face multiple charges. The death has been ruled a homicide. This is a great day for the cause of justice in our country.

Carrie enjoyably applied her pipes to a smattering of slick crossover tunes, peaking with the Jesus songwhich clearly suggests that those who die in car accidents are unrepentant heathensand even a GUNS N' ROSES cover, complete with adenoidal screeching. But generally exuding the personality of a studio singer, she didn't make an intimate connection with the audience, falling back on nicey-nice patter ("When they asked me if I was interested in going to Africa, I was like, yeah!") and so many references to her American Idol win that one junketeer compared it to GIULIANI's overreliance on 9/11 no matter what the question.
After more creamy vocals touchingly mixed with tentative dance steps, Carrie told the crowd that on her victorious Idol night, she didn't use hair spray because there were fireworks going on behind her and she didn't want to ignitenot literally anyway. "Thank the good Lord that didn't happen," she related, beatifically. But she'd have been better off having lost and flamed up a little. Carrie Underwood without hair spray does not quite work.
Jesus took a heel in the case of shoe-wielding attacker FLOTILLA DEBARGE, the local drag star who called me to say things are down to the wire on her footwear-instigated fate. (Yes, the other shoe's gonna drop.) "Will I be NAOMI CAMPBELL or will I be thrown in with PARIS HILTON?" she winkily said on my machine as her sentence drew closer. Either way, I'm scared. (But of course I don't condone violence. Resolve your problems blah, blah, blah. And by the way, I'm thrilled that while we still haven't nabbed BIN LADEN, at least we got Paris!)
Another clubbie turned assailant, killer diller MICHAEL ALIG, is gloating to people that when he gets out of the clink, he'll be bigger than Naomi, Paris, and Flotilla combined. Alig swears he'll have a photo book of his artwork that will coincide with a Chelsea gallery show; a remake of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? starring him and JAMES ST. JAMES; a Disco 2000 makeup line; a World of Wonder-produced reality show about his efforts to create a new scene; a movie about club life; and a day job as an assistant editor at Jane magazine. Then again, take it with a grain of . . . everything.
In other life-threatening news, the organizers of Cause Celebthe celebrity-memoir-reading event that plays various clubsare considering doing a PHIL SPECTOR-related evening called And Then He Killed Me.
Moving on, two, three: Violent whites fill HBO's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, which is tastefully done, with Native Americans radiating nobility even when saying stuff like, "Your words seem to come from your rear end." Co-star ADAM BEACH is superband hotreminding me that when I recently wrote, "I'd like to have sex on the Beach," a fellow Saulteaux Indian promptly shot off a letter saying, "We have been raped and pillaged for centuries! You will not add to that raping!" No, I won't, darling. And I'll never say another Saulteaux Indian is attractive again, OK?
Satan took the wheel and got me to Fire Island, which used to be a flat landscape (except for the chests), but which now has two large new structures about to open: a Cipriani market right where the Pines ferry lands, and a gigantic new community center farther into the woods. At least they're raping and pillaging the place for some buildings I might finally make sense in.
I fully belong at the Thursday night Kino 41 bash, which has grown in fabulosity to become like a larger-scale Happy Valley. But the other week, RUPAUL sashayed in, posed for a TINA PAUL picture setup, wouldn't pose for another one ("Didn't we do this?"), performed a fiercely attitudey song from her Starrbooty movie, drove the crowd wild, then raced out the door. Said co-promoter KENNY KENNY, "I guess I never met Starrbooty before. She's a tough cookieno smiles or kisses. The movie looks amazing. I just feel the old RuPaul will always be my hero." But why the 'tude?, I still wondered. Was Ru simply staying in character? "I'm not sure," responded Ru's publicist. "I know he was looking forward to performing at that party."
Another quickie celebrity drop-in, FERGIE, made appearances at gay bashes at Barracuda and Porky's over Memorial Day weekend, accompanied by MARC JACOBS's ex, who must know where the dead are buried. The gays loved her lovely lady lumps, though they normally spew their Cipriani lunches over such things.

Engine overheating can result from coolant leaks which are commonly found at the thermostat housing gasket, water pump, heater return tube O-ring at the water pump, intake manifold gasket, and timing cover gasket. Our technicians recommend a complete inspection of the cooling system after any repairs are made to be sure there are no other leaks.Google+

Dodge Ram 1500 Multiple Coolant Leaks
Dodge Ram 1500 Problem
Model Years Affected: 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007
Engines Affected: 3.7L V6, 3.9L V6, 4.7L V8, 5.2L V8, 5.7L V8 HEMI, 5.9L V8, 8.3L V10
Average Mileage: 131,236 mi (47,700 mi - 230,000 mi)
Visitor, 2003 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.7L V8 HEMI, 108,000 mi
Antifreeze gone without any signs of leaking. Smells heavily of antifreeze in the coolant bay. 2nd time this has happened withing the year.
Visitor, 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 4.7L V8, 169,000 mi
Coolant "disappears". No evident show of leakage except after about 300 mi., have to add coolant. This also happens with engine oil. Told head bolts stretch on this model with no recourse but have all replaced and head(s) repaired.
Visitor, 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.9L V8
leaking coolant arround timing cover, seal replaced
Visitor, 1998 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.9L V8, 157,000 mi
Leaking antifreeze out back of motor can not find were it is coming from yet took starter off to get a better veiw of were it is coming from.
Visitor, 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, 3.7L V6, 55,701 mi
My 3.7 liter engine in my Ram 1500 is running hot. I replaced the coolant, flushed the radiator and replaced the thermostat. It still runs hot whether it is stop and go or highway driving. The water pump is pushing water and I verified the heater core was not clogged during my system flush. I am hesistant to replace the radiator or the water pump.
Visitor, 1999 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.9L V8, 171,029 mi
Water pump been replaced twice. Thermostat been replaced. Timing cover gasket replaced. Intake manifold gasket replaced. All failed one right after the other.
Visitor, 1998 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.9L V8, 172,068 mi
The intake manifold is corroded so badly where the thermostat sits that I cannot get it to seal up properly. Looks like I will need to replace the intake manifold to stop leak. Seems excessive to have to replace the entire intake manifold to stop a leak. I think dodge needs to rethink & redesign and offer a recall to get this issue fixed.
Visitor, 1996 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.9L V8, 179,000 mi
my friend decided to do one hell of a burnout in my truck and blew my intake gasket
Visitor, 2000 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.9L V8, 101,600 mi
my anti freeze started coming out of all gaskets.
Visitor, 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, 4.7L V8, 101,000 mi

Uptown Theatre, Saturday at midnight
No studio director was a greater hero to the Hong Kong new wave than Martin Scorsese, who here returns the compliment by remaking Infernal Affairs, the strongest HK action film of the past few years. Its key dramatic roles assumed mainly by cell phones, Infernal Affairs is one of those rare movies in which the premise is the star. Scorsese, however, has necessarily packed his Boston-set remake with names: Matt Damon as a rogue cop, Leonardo DiCaprio as the cop's undercover counterpart, and, towering over both youngsters in a role that has been vastly inflated from the original film, Jack Nicholson as a patriarchal crime boss. Neither a debacle nor a bore, The Departed works, but only up to a point, and never emotionally—even if the director does contrive to supply his version of a happy ending. "I don't want to be a product of my environment," Nicholson's heavy boasts before appearing with stage blood up to his elbows. "I want my environment to be a product of me." Yeah, yeah, and that's the problem. (The band Dante and the Lobster perform before the screening at 11:45 p.m.).

Had pack and play as a crib with no mattress for our son definitely not good for toddlers or infants. The only good thing was the breakfast that you had to pay for and for the price of the room there should be some sort of complimentary breakfast. I could keep going but I was not satisfied at all.
Swimming pool
No continental breakfast
The hotel was packed but when I went to take a shower the water was nice and hot, the staff is friendly, the hotel is mostly clean (saw a few hairs here and there). The hotel is about 3 miles from the Xfinity center and has great rates! If I were going to another concert at the Xfinity center I would definitely stay here again!
The mattresses are super springy in an uncomfortable way, making this hotel not ideal for an extended stay.Note to the hotel please add vending machines. Also Kayak please note that you give the option for smoking rooms while the hotel is completely smoke free (I am ok with this but others booking a smoking room may not be.).
The check inperson, young man with long hair was super freindly, but the cleaning lady in the morning couldn't even bother to say goodmorning.
Room was dark and depressing, uncomfortable pillows and hardly any water in bathroom faucet. Not even a glass in the bathroom so you could fill a cup and rinse your mouth.
Clean, polite and professional staff, suitable location, bed comfortable, nice indoor pool - a good experience overall.
Low ceilings in the bathroom, I'm 6'4 and If I was any taller I'd hit my head on the sprinklers.
Location to Xfinity center was great!! Loved to layout of the room!!
We loved the breakfast!
Location, facilities and breakfast all good
Carpet in room had food on it, needed to be vacuumed. Beds were hard.
Pool, hot tub, room was perfect !
Maybe a larger restaurant and free breakfast would have been nice.
Accommodated bed and room type choice when I called. Very spacious, comfortable, pretty pool/Jacuzzi area. Slider glass door to the courtyard.
under coffee maker sticky, room a little dusty and open beer on my patio. I'm newly in recovery.
Room was nice, clean and has lots of amenities. Staff. Was friendly and helpful.
The room service needed to be better
Room service
Staff was excellent. Brunch on Sunday and the buffet was amazing.
Pool area is dangerous with tile . It is very wet around the pool with slippery tile. They should have installed rubber mats around the entire pool area.
I had reserved a Non smoking room with a King bed. Instead they gave me a Smoking room with 2 full beds.
The sheets smelled just like cigarette smoke.
It was fairly clean. It was cheap.
It was in the middle of nowhere.
Beautifully restored home. I loved the detail and the attention given to the integrity of the hope and keeping as much of the original work as possible. They have done a wonderful job. Bed was very comfortable and we had everything we needed in our rooms. The cookies at night were a nice touch as well. Very nice staff and breakfast was delicious! Would reccomend this place.
location is a little further from boston than expected but traffic is not bad and Patriot Place is very close for dining and shopping.
The location was awesome... close to where we were going.
The showers were disgusting, the blanket had a hole in them, for being a smoking room it smelled like pure stale cigarettes..
Everything was so clean.
No eggs with the continental breakfast
Very friendly staff. Clean and comfortable. About 15 minutes from Gillette Stadium
Friendly staff and great accommodation for the price. The room was very clean and comfortable and the continental breakfast was delicious.
The location is a bit far from downtown.
Friendly staff, clean rooms
Hotel staff was extremely rude. Charged my credit card additional money with out notifying me first or asking and seems to think that is completely acceptable to do as a business. Urine on and around toilet from previous guests. Raw sewage smell all through second floor. Old food crumbs and pieces next to and under bed

So the title, along with my Avatar & Signature should help give some background to what I'm trying to do here!
My lock is 88 and there's really not a whole lot of room in my 10 man guild for melee especially for heroic progression, so I've decided to sit my rogue and finish off my lock.
I'm currently destro and am wondering if - what I've been hearing so far is correct - that Affliction is hands down the top damage spec to play?
Is that the case for a fresh 90 at 440 ilvl gear the same as it would be for a 475? If I stay destro will there be a big difference between specs as far as damage goes? And can anyone recommend some quick either beginner / advanced tips for maximizing damage throughput for a new lock?
Any input / comments / reading material posted is very much appreciated, thank you for your time!
Edit: I've noticed simcraft has affliction as top dps for all classes let alone warlock specs - but I know that it is tuned for T14 BiS, Does it still apply to lower ilvls?

You have lots and lots of boats to pick from. Manufacturers include the boats you mentioned plus Newport, Tartan, Sabre, S2, C&C, Ericsson, Beneteau, Jeanneau, and a few others.
Just about any basic coastal - cruiser would be OK.
Some things to think bout including your primary use. For just daysailing, smaller is better. For overnight trips, bigger is better. Think about features you want, like tiller vs wheel, inboard engine vs outboard engine, real marine head vs porta potty, etc.
How did you come with 1985 as your oldest boat? For a boat like a Catalina 30, there isn't much difference between 1980 and 1990. There are 1980 boats in much better condition than 1990 because they have things like new sails, new interior cushions, etc.
Anyway, my first 'big' boat was a 1986 Newport 28. I bought it because it was the smallest boat that my family of 5 could overnight on, and had the big boat features I wanted, like wheel steering, self tailing winches, cabin top traveler, marine galley, marine head, pressure hot and cold water, etc.
Good luck,

Yes you are right. The boat has even went up on the classification and is now in 13th on compensated. To be on that position regarding bigger boats and to be only in 13th on compensated that means also that it is a relatively fast boat (with a high rating), certainly a very fast boat for a full keel and one very well sailed (they are cruising not racing).
I was curious about the boat that I did not knew and found out that the boat was built for a long time and only the first versions were made of wood. The designer Arvid Laurin designed a new boat in fiberglass in 1960:
"In their search for a suitable plug, they chose "Casella II" an Arvid Laurin design - which had participated in the Transatlantic Race from Bermuda to Gothenburg n 1960, arranged to celebrate the centenary of the foundation of GKSS (Gothenburg's Royal Yacht Club). Her owner - Yngve Cassel - was approached and for a fee he agreed to have his boat used as a full-scale mould
Somehow Arvid Laurin got wind of this plan and pointed out to MFI, that it was not recommendable to build a glass fibre version of an old design, when he could draw them a better and faster one, especially designed to take advantage of the flexibility of glass fiber construction. MFI agreed and Arvid Laurin set out to do something quite new to him, drawing a 32' boat that would not be built of wood but in a much more flexible material allowing curvatures that previously had been impossible."
Laurin 32
The last versions used cored hulls for superior stiffness and less weight. A very interesting boat that should have been very fast in its days and that today if well sailed can still have a relatively good performance. A nice one too:
I saw also that the boat has been used extensively for offshore sailing and have circumnavigated several times:

I'm still in LA, and still with limited access to the internet. Luckily, there hasn't been much going on in Ranger land other than the Zherdev to the KHL rumors.
In promising news, all three Ranger prospects made the cut for the US National Team (Chris Kreider, Ryan Bourque, Derek Stepan). Both Bourque and Stepan contributed points (1 G and 1 A respectively) in the US' dominating win over Russia, 8-1.
It is good to see the prospects contributing on their level, and we should hope their development continues.
Stepan is going to be gold.

Age is a fascinating thing when given a bit of thought. For example, you watch a film from many decades ago, say The Sound of Music. In the film, Liesl, played by Charmian Carr is a sixteen-going-on-seventeen year old (although Carr was 21) and whether you watched the film in 1965, or whether you watch it in 2065, she'll be forever young, frozen in time on your TV set. However that 21 year old is now an old age pensioner, shortly to hit the ripe old age of 72. Then there's the Johnny Cash video for Hurt-rather than the confident, maybe somewhat cocky and macho rock star, he's a frail old man. On the other side of the coin, when you see an elderly gentleman on the bus it's hard to imagine he was once a young person, getting up to mischief with his friends.
Age is a little like going back to childhood-the elderly become dependent on the help and support of loved ones and sadly are often unable to look after themselves. They become a lot more fragile and their mobility deteriorates. If I, as a young man, were to fall over, it would be pretty irrelevant, though perhaps somewhat amusing for anyone around to witness it. When an elderly person falls, you are gravely informed that they "had a fall" and it's considered a lot more serious, due to the fact they are more frail.
Due to the elderly not being as sprightly as they were back in their younger days, stairs possess a problem. My own Grandfather for example is 80 and suffers from bad arthritis. He struggles to walk a few feet let alone up a flight of stairs. Thankfully he and my Grandmother now own a stairlift which means they can get up and down stairs quickly and easily and without having to have someone assist them.
For a younger person, going up and down stairs is something you don't really give much thought to, unless it's a particularly big or steep set of stairs-the famous 199 steps in Whitby for instance and those old church staircases without handrails that twist and turn very treacherously. For a pensioner, the ability to get up and down stairs without the help of a carer is a fundamental part of their maintaining a sense of independence.
There are plenty of stairlift solutions for the elderly, taking into account both straight and curved staircases. If you have elderly relatives, or are elderly yourself, a stairlift is definitely something to consider. It will make going up and down stairs as easy as turning on the television.Add a comment Add a comment

An integrated circuit having a pinout configuration, having a first configuration of pins and a circuit to change the integrated circuit to a second configuration of pins.
1. An integrated circuit having at least two pin configurations, comprising:
said integrated circuit having a first circuit for connection to a first disk drive head and for connection to a second disk drive head;
wherein said integrated circuit has a first pin configuration corresponding to a function for connection of said first circuit to said first disk drive head and a circuit to change said integrated circuit to a second pin configuration corresponding to said function for connection of said first circuit to said second disk drive head from said first pin configuration.
2. An integrated circuit as in
3. An integrated circuit as in
The present invention relates generally to electrical connectors and methods, and more particularly to an integrated circuit socket and method for altering the effective pinout arrangement and/or connections of an integrated circuit.
In the modern electronic industry, integrated circuits and similar mechanically configured devices frequently are used. Such devices may, for example, be a microprocessor, a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), logic arrays, integrated logic circuits, switches, hard disk drive (HDD), etc. Such devices are usually mechanically configured to have a three-dimensional rectangular package within which the active or passive circuitry components, switches, etc., are contained and a plurality of electrical leads extending outwardly from the package to provide electrical connections for the respective circuits within the package to circuitry external to the package. For convenience of description, each of such devices will be referred to hereinafter as an integrated circuit (IC) device; however, such label is intended to include the previously listed devices and other types of devices that are contained in a packaged configuration. Moreover, such electrical leads sometimes are referred to as terminals, contacts, pins, etc., and for convenience of the following description, the same will be referred to as pins.
Electronic circuitry is usually designed for use with a particular integrated circuit, such as a specific microprocessor manufactured by a specific manufacturer or a specific circuitry such as a preamp for a HDD and having a specific pinout pattern or configuration. These pins are numbered for sake of identification. For example, pin number 1 of the integrated circuit package may be intended to connect to a voltage source, pin number 2 may be an interrupt input for the microprocessor, pin number 3 may be a ground connection, etc. The layout and interconnections of printed circuit traces on a printed circuit board to connect to the IC intended to use a specific microprocessor usually are designed for use with a particular microprocessor of a particular manufacturer.
In addition, such integrated circuits are used in conjunction with magnetic disk drives. These magnetic disk drives have read/write heads which are used for both writing data to a magnetic disk and reading data from the magnetic disk. During a write operation, a write signal is provided to a selected read/write head from a write control circuit. The write signal represents data to be encoded onto the magnetic disk. More particularly, the read/write head receives encoded digital data from a "channel" chip. The transitions of the signal received from the channel chip cause the write current flowing within the read/write head to reverse direction , which in turn induces a flux reversal in the magnetized material of the medium. During a read operation, the read/write head senses flux reversals from the magnetic disk and amplifies the signal for the channel by a preamplifier. The flux reversals are encoded onto the magnetic disk during the write operation. Based on the flux reversals, the read/write head provides a read signal to a read channel. The read circuit amplifies the read signal, and the channel circuit recovers the data. The read circuit then provides the data to a magnetic disk controller for further processing.
Each magnetic disk in the disk drive has a corresponding "head" adjacent to the top and bottom surfaces of the disk. Thus, there are two N heads per stack where N equals the number of disks in the drive. Normally, only one head is active at any time. Thus, for each head, there may be a plurality of connectors for either providing a read or write function. For example, one head may require four connections, namely a ground wire, a read wire, and a pair of write wires.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,609,241 a socket where the IC is placed can be readily programmed to adapt the pinout configuration of the integrated circuit device for convenient plug-in use for substitution in an environment such as the socket. However, such a device leaves the pinout configuration of the integrated circuit unchanged.
These heads require at least two current paths so that current can flow in two directions in the head. Thus, a 0 or 1 can be written on the magnetic disk. To write current in one direction, two terminals are required, and thus, for each head, four terminals are required for current to flow in two directions. It is possible to reduce the number of connections for the pins by using a common ground connection. Conventional ICs are limited by having a fixed pinout configuration. A fixed pin configuration is not desirable. Different manufacturers require the same functions in an IC, but different pinout configuration results in a multitude of parts having to be produced in order to satisfy manufacturer pinout configurations.
In accordance with the present invention, a programmable IC is described to change the pinout configuration from a first pinout configuration to a second pinout configuration. Thus, the same integrated circuit can be used for different manufacturers having different pinout configurations.
FIG. 1 illustrates a pinout configuration for a two-channel device;
FIG. 2 illustrates a first pinout configuration for a four-channel device;
FIG. 3 illustrates a second pinout configuration for the same IC as FIG. 2 with a pinout configuration for a two-channel device;
FIG. 4 illustrates the IC and logic circuits; and
FIG. 5 illustrates a detailed circuit diagram of the logic circuit.
A description of various pins found in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 follows. VDD is the pin for the 8-volt power supply, and VCC is the pin for the 5-volt power supply. The GND is the ground. The HGND pin is the MR head connection, negative end. The RnX is the MR head connection, positive end, for both input and output. RDX and RDY is the differential read data output. WDX and WDY pin is the write data input, PECL. The pin WnX and WnY is the inductive write head connection. The FLT/BHV is a multiplexer pin for a fault output or BHV. In the fault mode, (MRM=0) (ABHV=0), an open collector output is shown. Read mode, a low indicates abnormal read condition. In the write mode, a high indicates abnormal write condition. In the MR measure mode, the DBHV comparator output (MRM=1) (ABHV=0), an open collector output; a high indicates the head voltage is lower than the set threshold, and a low indicates the head voltage is higher than the set threshold. In ABHV mode (MRM=1) (ABHV=1), pin is an analog output. RDZ_WRT, read/write 2.5/3.3 V logic with internal pull-down. Write fis active high. MRBIASZ pin, the MR bias current is on, 2.5/3.3 V logic with internal pull-up. Bias current active at low. The SDEN pin is a serial port enable 2.5/3.3 V logic.
The SDATA pin is a serial data open collector output (5 mA current sink). The SCLK is a serial clock 2.5/3.3 V logic.
FIG. 1 illustrates a two-channel preamp IC 100. The left side of integrated circuit 100 includes the pins necessary for the integrated circuit 100 itself while the right side includes pin connections for the read/write head. For example, at the top right at pin 23 is the HWOX pin, pin 22 the HWOY pin, pin 21 the HROX pin, pin 20 the HGND pin, pin 19 the HRIX pin, pin 18 the HWIY pin, pin 17 the HWIX pin, pin 16 ground, pin 15 ground, and pin 13 the FLT/BHV pin.
FIG. 2 illustrates a four-channel integrated circuit 200 in a first pin configuration. The left side of integrated circuit 200 shows the connections for head 3 at pins 29, 28 and 27, and the pins for head 0 at pins 16, 17 and 18. In FIG. 3, which illustrates the same integrated circuit 300 as FIG. 2 in a second configuration, the bottom three pins on both the left and right sides have been inactivated on integrated circuit 300. Namely, pins 13, 14, and 15 on the left side of integrated circuit 300 have been inactivated, and pins 18, 17 and 16 on the right side of integrated circuit 300 have been inactivated. On the left side of integrated circuit 300, the connection for head 0 is illustrated. More particularly, pin 29, pin 28 and pin 27 are for head 0. Thus, the pins 29, 28 and 27 have been switched from connection of head 3 in FIG. 2 on integrated circuit 200 to connection to head 0 on integrated circuit 300 as illustrated in FIG. 3. Thus, the integrated circuit 300 in FIG. 3 has the same pin configuration, albeit some inactive pins, as integrated circuit 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1. Consequently, the pin configuration of the same integrated circuit can be changed to meet a different design or to meet the requirements of different manufacturers. The configuration is changed from a first pin configuration to a second pin configuration.
How this pin configuration is accomplished is discussed next. In FIG. 4, fuses 404, 406 and 408 are illustrated as a portion of integrated circuit 400. Logic circuit 402 reads the terminals between fuses 404, 406 and 408 to determine a binary code from these fuses. Different binary codes can be achieved from the fuses 404, 406 and 408 by blowing either one or a select few or all of fuses 404, 406 and 408. Thus, each different state (blown or unblown) of pins 404, 406 and 408 could represent a different pin configuration for integrated circuit 400. Logic circuit 402 reads this fuse circuit, and the detect circuit 504, as illustrated in FIG. 5, instructs the reroute circuit 502 to reroute, through internal traces of the integrated circuit, the various circuits necessary to perform the function as required to achieve the new or second pin configuration. Thus, a gain in bandwidth or backsetting can be achieved, and it is possible to sell the same die to either a first manufacturer or a second manufacturer where each of the different manufacturers require a different pin configuration.

NEWBERRY COUNTY — Twenty two Newberry College nursing students, DSS employees and other individuals from the community volunteered their time in the 2014 Point-in-Time homeless count Thursday to figure an estimate of how many homeless people are in the county.
The students partnered with individuals who worked last year's homeless count at four different locations around the county. The volunteers went to Westview Behavioral Health Services, the detention center, The Daily Bread food pantry and DSS.
DSS employee and homeless liaison Pandora Jones also did the night count along with a few other DSS employees to count those who may get missed during the day.
"They (the volunteers) ask people about their living situations and if they are homeless, they take a survey," said Jones. "All the surveys and forms are confidential and locked up until they are turned into the S.C. Homeless Coalition."
It will most likely be around April sometime when the results from all the counties are tallied and results are given through the Midlands Area Consortium for the Homeless, according to Jones. Last year's homeless count found 13 unsheltered people in the county.
The volunteers went to the four locations because those are the places that homeless people are most likely to be found or will go to. In addition to taking surveys, the volunteers also hand out emergency kits from United Way to the homeless, Jones said.
The students are senior nursing students at Newberry College who are taking the class, Nursing Care of Diverse Populations as taught by Laurie Harden, assistant professor of nursing.
The students are focusing on the impact of homelessness and the impact on the state in addition to what happens without a shelter and how important it can be to get a shelter, said Harden. Of course they also study other topics and are also involved in other community activities including hospice care, disaster training and home health care.
In fact, the students got involved in the homeless count because of their involvement with Hospice Care of Tri County.
Harden points out that this gives nursing students an opportunity to find what their interest may be and where they may like to work after graduation.
"Homelessness does cross over into the medical field because we do see them. Certain areas are just included more," said Teresa Halfacre with Hospice Care of Tri County.
Halfacre got involved in the count last year. She volunteered at the detention center as well as the Living Hope food bank and decided she had to do it again.
"Everything stems back to the (coalition) meetings with Charles Weathers where I met Pandora," said Halfacre, and it just stemmed from there.
Halfacre is talking about the sessions with motivational speaker Weathers brought forth by the Newberry County Coalition on Underage Drinking. The meetings held downtown were meant to get people involved in reaching out to the community on a variety of topics and homelessness was one.
This is how the organization Helping Hands was formed which raises funds and holds events and drives to collect supplies for the homeless. The organization is attempting to bring an emergency shelter to the county.
"I came across people I knew and that surprised me. I'm just happy to be a part of this," said Halfacre about volunteering and helping the homeless.
Other volunteers who acted as coaches to the students included the Chamber's Michelle Long, Ebony Young and DSS employees Kisha Wertz, Christy White-Mill, Sarah Smith and Linda Langford.
The count is given through MACH which strives to end homelessness. They were founded in 1994 and is a Continuum of Care as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Letters: Gore cartoon, blight and more
Now SDG&E wants to add an additional fee for solar users, and change the rate for net generators. At the same time, they are looking for solar producers to generate peak-time power to keep their grid from shutting down during high summertime demand periods. Does this all small bad?
Can anyone stop SDG&E from repeatedly changing the playing field for solar customers? – H. A. Levine, Rancho Bernardo
SDG&E claims that as "more of its customers install solar panels, its rate system [net metering] becomes increasingly unfair to nonsolar customers," that net metering is "too generous and doesn't cover associated costs" and that "this forces its nonsolar customers to subsidize solar customers by $15 million a year." How touching for SDG&E's concern as it goes before the CPUC seeking to right this wrong for it's customers!
Does that mean that SDG&E is going to pay the 100 percent that it should of the wildfire claims instead of only the 10 percent with the other 90 percent being paid by ratepayers? No?
Does that mean that SDG&E is going to pay for the Sunrise Powerlink instead of ratepayers paying for 100 percent of it? No?
Didn't the CPUC last month shoot down SDG&E's gambit to modify net metering by creating a solar customer transmission fee? So, SDG&E is just at it again under a different guise? Shocking.
What an incredulous audacity of feigned concern! – Jim Land, Chula Vista
Same-sex marriage
Your letter writers who oppose same sex marriage (May 20) seem to universally miss the point. Letter writer Grant Kuhns seems to think that the "best argument for same sex marriage … is economical." It's not. The best argument is constitutional. The 14th Amendment precludes the singling out of any minority group of people for the sole purpose of denying them of the civil rights enjoyed by the majority.
And, letter writer George Henry seems to think that this issue cannot be properly addressed without first consulting the Bible. He, too, is incorrect, again on constitutional grounds. Just as the First Amendment provides freedom of religion, it also provides freedom from religion. As the state may establish no religion, religious dogma has no legal basis for legislation. Mr. Henry can quote the Bible, but that does not make any of his observations relevant to the issue.
Its interesting how right-wing types, the U-T editorial staff included, are the first to accuse others of trampling the Constitution, all the while ignoring the parts they don't like when it suits their views. – Steve Hartman, Poway
Hats off to Molly Cohen (Letters, May 20). She is echoing what I have felt all along on the same sex marriage issue. Marriage to sanctify the union between a man and a woman has been in use in multiple cultures through multiple centuries. In many religions this union is very sacred, and its purpose is the procreation of children, (as well as having the man and wife being helpmates in life).
By using the term "marriage", the gay community is stepping on many people's faith and beliefs, thereby making them angry and unable to compromise. I have come to understand that the gay community does have a need for a civil and sacred ceremony to unite those who love each other. I think they might be surprised at how many people would back them up, if only they not use the term "marriage." I would be one of them. – Marilyn Link, Pacific Beach

Center Kwame Brown has decided to stay with the Pistons and play out the final year of his contract. He is currently penciled in as the team's starting center, though Detroit is expected to at least attempt to trade for another center. He had a player option in his contract that would have allowed him to opt out and become a free agent had he elected to do so.
