New water retention technology quenches crop thirst in drought conditions
By Darren Quick
January 31, 2013
With climate change predicted to increase the severity and frequency of drought events in many part of the world, water conservation is a growing concern. New water retention technology developed at Michigan State University (MSU) could help quench the thirst of parched crops while using less water, not only enabling crops to better deal with drought, but also improving crop yields in marginal areas.
Coarse, sandy soils found in semi-arid and arid regions have large pores that absorb large quantities of rainfall. However, they retain less than 20 percent of the water in the root zone that sits between the surface and depths of 60 to 70 centimeters (24 to 27 inches), leaching losses of nutrients and other chemicals into ground water as the water drains away.
The subsurface water retention technology (SWRT) developed by Alvin Smucker, MSU professor of soil biophysics and MSU AgBioResearch scientist, strategically places polyethylene water barrier films at various depths in the soil. The membranes are flexible, allowing them to be shaped to maximize water retention and provide space for root growth.
The films, which are installed using a specially designed barrier installation device (BID), retain water within the upper 70 to 100 centimeters (27 to 39 inches) of the soil, which Smucker claims has the potential to increase water retention efficiencies by up to 20 times. With proper spacing of the films, excess rainfall is also able to drain away.
Aside from the potential water savings, the films also promise to cut fertilizer costs and reduce groundwater contamination by agricultural chemicals. The polyethylene barriers are also faster and less labor intensive to install than asphalt barriers, as well as being more durable, lasting at least 40 years.
Prototype tests carried out in drought conditions saw irrigated sands produce 145 percent more cucumbers than control fields without the films, and also increased corn yields 174 percent. In addition to agricultural crops, the technology could also be used to increase the yield of cellulosic biomass feedstock used for fuel production that are grown on marginal lands.
"This technology has the potential to change lives and regional landscapes domestically and internationally where highly permeable, sandy soils have prohibited the sustainable production of food," Smucker says. "Water retention membranes reduce quantities of supplemental irrigation, protect potable groundwater supplies, and enable more efficient use and control of fertilizers and pesticides."
A team will test the patent pending technology "in the field" on farms in irrigated sandy regions of southwestern Michigan as well as semi-arid and arid regions of the south western and mid western U.S. with MSU researchers also looking at implementing the SWRT films in global locations susceptible to drought.
Smucker is working with MSU's technology and commercialization office, to commercialize the technology.

Cool beans! and corn. and cucumbers. Looks like it has double-digging beat and it lasts much longer. Only catch is the machinery. How much does that cost?MBadgero
Specially designed BID...
Is it a back hoe with a plastic dispensing roll?
Pretty clever idea overall, none the less. I'm sure it will benefit many, many people.Frank Forte
Not so fast, MBadgero. "...polyethylene...lasting at least 40 years." What do you do with it after that? And even more plastic in our food chain? Really? The machinery is no problemo. Labour is one thing the 3rd world isn't short of. I do wonder about the affordability - especially in marginal areas of the world - of miles and miles of polyethylene. How about polyculture farming instead of farming with polyethylene?Mike vC
I really do not see what the fuss is about. I am more impressed with the vast green houses of southern Spain and Israel. They grow tomato plants 20 feet high out of a bag the size of a diaper with drip irrigation. They don't even use any real dirt, its some sort of synthetic fiber glass stuff.Michael Mantion
Polyethylene sheets are neither membranes or films in any practical sense here. And concerning the PE ending up in the food chain, how exactly is the 2 foot deep plastic going to make it to the surface? Even if it did, so what? As far as I know you can ingest small amounts of PE without ill effects.Siegfried Gust
There is a less expensive, easier to implement way to optimize the water used for irrigation in drought and it is here: www.watersilos.us it is "solid water" that can be bagged and can be used everywhere, it is the invention of a Mexican cientist and is currently being used in the United States and other countries. There is no need to bury plastic everywherefelipepalos
A noble attempt. I am not trying to sound patronizing. There is a place for most things, perhaps even this in some situations, but not many. It would be a difficult and expensive proposition, esp. for large scale operations, and is unadvisable for several reasons.
It would be prohibitively expensive to displace tons and tons of earth in every field to lay these down, and then bury them again. The article talks about multiple depths, I hope that doesn't equate into multiple layers, b/c then problems compound. Machinery costs, not to mention huge fuel usage for such an operation. Also, as another poster added, you're putting plastic in the ground. On top of environmentally toxicity, it would impede much of the soil's natural micro-biological flora, depening on how deep it was layed. It would destroy any hopes of earthworms doing their work on the surface and bringing organic matter down and the other host of good things they do, also providing an "airtight" seal below the plastic, shutting off access to air and creating an anaerobic environment that pathological bacteria thrive in. Also, in many areas of the world this could lead to significant salt buildup, which could become toxic buildup in such a set-up. Same goes for chemical build-up.
I hate to sound critical. The best way, IMHO, is always to use the natural way that God set-up...it works perfect when we don't crop our lands in to oblivion with all our chemicals and over-use without regard to feeding the soil. Another words work with it, not against it. The best way to retain both bio-available fertility and water retention, and foster a good aerobic environment, is to have sufficient organic matter in the soil, which is largely missing in today's mono-cropping ag system. Cover crops like Alfalfa, vetches, ryes and various legumes which fix nitrigen naturally are key, which add organic matter, stabilize soil structure, increase tilth, prevent leaching of nutrients and even mine nutrients from deeper down, bringing it up. (plastic layering would get in the way of these roots too). These crops can be plowed under also, to be used as a green manure. Of course PH management is crucial as well. Sandy soils have very low cation exchange rates, meaning they cannot hold much by way of nutrients, so semi-regular, light foliar fertilizer applications may be necessary, esp. when first trying to recover soil conditions. Natural fertilzer is vastly preferable to chemical, salt-based conventional fertilizers.
The bottom line is there is no easy way to do this...it takes lots of work and long-term commitment. Problem is today farmers and society want instant production, instant crops, without long-term investment, planning and work, and easy, instant fixes to the problems that keep arising and growing through decades of such practise (constant, season long chemical spraying, GMO's, which do more harm than good, etc.) All these conventional practises and chemicals do vast harm to soil ecosystems and interrelated systems, which has huge implications in terms of bio-availability of soil fertility, etc: soil micro-boilogy has to be there! Crops and end consumers suffer as a result, as defiencies and compromised food quality follow.
Just read accounts of how extremely bio-diverse much of our countries were like 100 years ago, with thousands of insects buzzing around, scores of birds, many various types of animals, etc, etc. People could break ground for the first time 50 years ago and have instant bumper crops, without chemical fertilizers. Not anymore! Now many of these large commercial farming opertions are home to the plant being grown, and not much more. We are already "reaping what we have sown"...no pun intended. It will get worse if sustainable practises are not implemented fast. Many of the big commercial ag guys still laugh at these ideas, but they won't laugh anymore when fertilizer costs double/triple with oil costs again someday, and they can't afford to fertilize anymore, and then the soils will not be able to produce in their current shape. But then we'll all be screwed.jeddit
Excellent idea , I've worked in California Walnut,almond,plume orchard's and irrigation is necessary. The soil's that are highly permeable like the article states just pass through into the ground with the plastic it is a underground at root level vessel to prevent escape of h2o from root access and when properly installed lets over watering bypass the underground plastic staggered linings . That technology is great but how do you plow the ground without ripping up the plastic or is the plastic lower than the plow setting?Bryce Guenther
This device is to used in arid areas but what happens when, even in arid areas, the skies open and copious amounts of rain fall? Your corn, walnuts, whatever, drown and are lost?MBee
Or you could put wood under the plants, the wood soaks up the water and does not have the other issues the plastic does. You could even just use mulch.Nick Goodman
The wood industry produces plenty of sawdust. Sawdust absorbs water like a madman. I think that's a better idea than putting it in your cereal.Fretting Freddy the Ferret pressing the Fret
Costly and machine intensive, so of little use to small farmers living in arid areas.
In Morocco, I noticed that there was a problem disposing of vast amounts of used plastic water bottles. So, I gathered some up, cut them in half and buried them in the dry garden hoping they would catch and retain water like this system. I'm going back soon and I'm looking forward to checking out the results. If it works it could help toward solving two problems at the same time.
If you live somewhere dry, please experiment with this and tell me your experiences. firstname.lastname@example.com Scott
Without taking sides on this for or against (I like the concept but have some minor misgivings), it appears some comments misunderstand the installation, thinking it to be a sheet (or layers of sheets) of impervious plastic stretching from horizon to horizon - not so, the method calls for u-shaped channels at intervals horizontally and vertically, probably staggered diagonally, as well. Look at the picture, again.
This allows the channel to catch water and if/when full, excess water to drain away without water-logging. Processes such as earthworms and other creatures can go about their usual business and travel where they will. In very arid areas where the soil is otherwise too barren and devoid of organic material to support them at all, priming with some organic material would probably create a climate for earthworms and such within the channels.
This would probably be a good way to halt the march of desertification in Sahara fringe areas from West Africa through to Ethiopia, caused by the increase of carbon emissions in Europe, which have cut off the moist air flow currents that used to bring rain from the Atlantic. These currents have humidity but now at insufficient levels to precipitate.
There are several recent "humidity-to-condensate" capture innovations that could very well work in concert with this system in semi-desert areas with low rainfall and little irrigation water supply - such as dew net devices and http://www.gizmag.com/airdrop-wins-james-dyson-award/20471/.
The common misconception is "forests grow where it rains" whereas recent research shows that, counter-intuitively, "it rains where forests grow". On appropriate scale this could kick-start a reversal of desertification.davidubhai

Chaos in Brazil
Alberto Rondina steps up his game in Brazil
As Hurricane Sandy wreaks havoc on the East Coast of America, the gang at the North American Speed Sailing Invitational took advantage of this late storm's winds... and ended up on CNN. Watch the video here!
This was the 2nd Annual NASSI Event, sponsored by the Black Dog and Lynch Associates, and took place October 15-30th on Sengekontacket Pond, Katama Bay, and off of Cape Poge. Thirteen of the world's best speed sailors came together from around the world to competed for a $30,000 purse.
While the hurricane heightened the anxiety of the event providing strong winds, this group of highly skilled kiteboarders have seen faster speeds at other speed sailing events. It should be mentioned that no one was hurt during this event.
Cabrinha's Rob Douglas of Vineyard Haven won the $10,000 first prize and had the fasted average speed of 48.69. Damien Leroy in second averaged 44.583, Alex Caizergues at 43.075 took third, Brock Callen 44.040 at fourth, and Jamie Douglas took fifth having the second fastest average of 44.853.
The United States claimed the Lynch Cup and $2,500 dollars for winning the team standings over Europe. Honorable mention to locals Morgan Douglas, Brock Callen, and Bill Lynch who raced in the event with incredible performances.
The riders would like to extend a big "Thank You" to Brock Callen Sr, Bill & Beth Lynch, and The Black Dog for all their efforts to host a great event.
Specializing in the newest techniques and latest innovations Cabrinha's new state of the art twin tip board factory has improved precision and quality for the 2013 Range. Headed up by product manager Dave Kay, the ultimate boardroom is up and running. WATCH VIDEO!
Drumroll please....the winners of the Quest Eco Challenge have been decided! This was an almost impossible task and our decision panel has seriously struggled to decide how to rank the many incredible entries. So many inspiring things people are doing in their own personal lives as well as positively effecting their local and in some cases global communities. We'll be sharing many of these stories in the weeks ahead. But for now, huge congratulations to the Grand Prize winner Mike Hutchings and First Place winner Yancy Wright- who will be joining us on our inaugural voyage of the expedition this month; Second place winner Neil Townsend, and Third Place winner Tristan Fields who will score some great kit from Patagonia and Cabrinha.
Thanks so much to all of you who entered the contest!
Cagliari, Italy is playing host to the biggest Kiteboard Course Racing World Championship Event to date. With over 250 registered races from many different countries we have our eye on team CABRINHA with Damien LeRoy reporting back to us. The forecast is looking light for the event ... but they say the wind can change quite fast, so we will see how things play out. So far we see riders on 17 meter to 13 meter kites with gusty flat off shore winds.

Zachary Wright '05
Teacher, Philadelphia Outstanding Teacher of the Year
- 01-15-2014
- By Megan Morley Thomas
When Zachary Wright '05 describes his UVM undergraduate experience he uses words like "transformative" and "transcendent." His hope is that students in his twelfth-grade English and AP literature courses, many of whom come from some of Philadelphia's tougher neighborhoods, get to enjoy a similarly powerful college experience.
"My years at UVM were extremely significant, and it remains an incredibly special place for my wife and me," says Wright, whose spouse, Laura Salmon '05, created an internship for students at the Vermont Respite House as an undergraduate. "The more you did, the more the school did for you. When I'd propose an idea, my professors were like, 'Let's go for it.' I came away feeling that this is a place that has to be shared."
Related ...
Wright, who teaches at Mastery Charter School, one of about a dozen Mastery Charter Schools in the Philadelphia area that take over failing schools slated for closure and turn them around, decided the best way to share his alma mater was to load up an old van with eight of his students and drive eight hours to Burlington.
"They slept through New Jersey and woke up near Glens Falls, New York," Wright recalls. "As we approached Vermont, they started seeing cows and forests for the first time and just couldn't believe how peaceful it looked. Most of them had never been outside of Philadelphia and live in areas where hearing gunshots is normal. They were amazed to see how people could live so carefree and not have to worry about being safe."
Wright was named 2012-13 Outstanding Teacher of the Year by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter
After three years of making the trip with his senior students, Wright decided to call the UVM Admissions Office to inquire about Discovering UVM, a program assisting high school seniors from under-represented groups with their college search by exploring academic and extracurricular offerings at UVM during a two-day immersion program.
Things flowed from there. The result was the Mastery Catamount Scholarship, which allows for up to five Mastery Charter School students to attend UVM on grants, scholarships, and work-study with student loan responsibility not exceeding $5,500 per year.
"I was actually thinking about stopping the trips because I didn't want to create dreams that weren't possible because that would have been irresponsible of me," says Wright. "But now with the creation of the scholarship they can live out that dream."
Says Wright of UVM: " I wouldn't want my kids to go anywhere unless they are loved, and UVM does the little things that will make them feel that way."

Number of Medi-Cal Providers Down by 25% in Spring 2014

James Roache PharmD
Millions more enrolled in the last year, now 10.7 million and rising. I believe we now have between 1 in every 3 to 4 'residents' of CA are card-carrying Medi-Cal beneficiaries. Couple that with Mr. Cava diverting attention to his new found ability to remove physician providers rather than addressing the absolute decrease in Medi-Cal providers, it is negligent not to be looking at the true implications to patient care nor asking the right questions as cited in the last paragraph. With our Governor blocking the cancellation of the 10% rate reduction for providers despite the unanimous opinion of our legislative Conference Committee and doing so in a year with record excess tax revenues, instead, he flips the decision back to DHCS to adjust rates only if there is a perceived access to care issue. With fewer and fewer providers it would seem his policy is aimed at creating access issues rather than caring for those that need the care the most with the federal dollars the ACA provided.
July 15, 2014 at 10:57 AM
Richard VanGorder
The reality of lost providers is that patient access is going to be negatively impacted even more so than it currently is. Patient's are waiting 6 weeks or more to be seen for routine care. Walk-in patients are being turned away and patients with appointments may wait more than 3 hours to be seen by a care provider. More patients are being seen by nurse practitioners and physician assistants: Some practice sites do not have a physician on-site most of the time and this will negatively impact quality of care. All of this can be traced back to the 10% reduction in Medi-Cal reimbursement on top of the fact that Medi-Cal is one of the lowest Medicaid payers in the country.
Juan P Perez
People enrolled in Medi-Cal are served by managed care network providers. Doctors in a managed care network do not need to enroll directly in the Medi-Cal program. More people in managed care = fewer Medical enrolled doctors.

Soon Ben and IV drug users all over the state will have the same access to syringes he enjoyed in his suburban youth. Thanks to a law passed two weeks ago, drugstores throughout New York will be able to sell up to 10 needles at a time without a prescription. Certain hospitals and clinics will also be authorized to give drug users syringes. The change can be expected to significantly lower new HIV infections among drug users; soon after Connecticut passed a similar law in 1992, the number of people who shared needles decreased by about 25 percent, according to Robert Heimer, an associate professor in the department of epidemiology and public health at the Yale School of Medicine. It also brings New York in step with the vast majority of states, which already allow pharmacies and clinics to dispense needles without prescriptions.
Having tried to push one version or another of the legal needle law through the system for more than a decade, AIDS activists are welcoming the change with relief. "It's about time," says Joyce Rivera, executive director of the St. Ann's Corner of Harm Reduction, a community group that runs a needle exchange in the South Bronx.
For Drew Kramer, executive director of the Lower East Side exchange, the first response was a simple "Hallelujah."
The true impact of this new law, scheduled to take effect on January 1, is bound to be anything but simple, though. Based on studies in Connecticut and other states where needles recently became legal, exchange programs can expect their participation to shrink by more than 30 percent as those who can afford to start buying their needles in nearby stores. But ask New York drug users about the coming shift, and many will tell you that, even with the promise of cooperative pharmacies and doctors, they plan to keep frequenting the exchanges that provide social services as well as needles.
Juan R., a 51-year-old who used to run a shooting gallery on the Lower East Side, was worried when he first heard that pharmacies would begin selling needles. "I thought, 'Wow, will they be closing the needle exchanges now?' " says Juan, who gets needlesand takes occasional classesat the Housing Works needle exchange on Crosby Street. "Then I thought, 'I'm going to have to hit the corners again, buying them at $2 a pop.' "
Even if the law were to mean the end of needle exhange (an eventuality no one anticipates), Juan figures he wouldn't buy needles at pharmacies. Living on a mere $700 a month, he would rather pay the higher street price, anywhere from one to as much as five dollars per needle, than face the disapproving eyes of other shoppers in a drugstore. "I would go into a pharmacy with the working Joes and the middle-class ladies standing in line, and here I am asking for syringes?" he says, shaking his head. "No. I'd pick up a complex right away."
Stopping by St. Ann's outdoor needle exchange on 148th Street in the Bronx, one grandmother agrees. "Nobody's embarrassed to come here," she says, gesturing toward the old card table set up near a vacant lot. "At the drugstore, they'd see what you're asking for and be like, 'Oh, shit, there's a drug addict.' "
There's also the not-inconsequential matter of price. Ben's buddy, Mike, for instance, says that he'll never pay for needles. Ben confirms: "The sad fact is, Mike would rather share than spend the money. That's how junkies think. Whatever you pay is money that could go toward your next bag."
Money weighs heavily for Marie, too. A small, blond 22-year-old who works as an escort, Marie is at first excited by the idea of buying needles near her apartment in Far Rockaway, an option that would spare her frequent hour-long train rides to the Lower Eastside exchange. But, pausing to calculate what the 70 or so needles she uses a week might cost, she reconsiders. "Why would I pay if I can get them for free?"
There are other limits to what the new law can do. Under it, pharmacies are explicitly forbidden from advertising the fact that they sell needles, which will no doubt leave some users unaware of this new option. Since drugstores won't have to participate, some will likely decide not to, if only to avoid attracting addicts to their shops. In New Haven and Hartford, about one-third of pharmacies have chosen not to sell needles without prescriptions. And though New York's law will require that needles be sold with an insert explaining proper disposal, the law doesn't require drugstores to collect dirty syringes in containers, as needle exchanges now do.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Latin American picture archiving and communication system (PACS) market is expected to clock a compound annual growth rate of 29.6 percent till 2017. Although the PACS market in Latin America is far behind North America and Europe in terms of penetration, the rapid increase in image diagnosis equipment and the number of images per study will have a positive bearing on new PACS installations.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.healthcare.frost.com), Latin American PACS Market - Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, finds that the market earned revenues of $81.1 million in 2011 and estimates this to reach an impressive $372.6 million in 2017. In 2011, 634 PACS units were sold in the Latin American market, and the number is expected to reach 2,383 by 2017.
"The technological sophistication of state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment has resulted in an increase in data management requirements, encouraging PACS installations," said Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Federico Baguear. "The introduction of public health plans has further conducted to more diagnostic examinations, boosting the need for PACS in Latin America."
Brazil drives the pack in the region, with the government investing huge resources in healthcare improvements. In Argentina, the lack of imported radiological films has led the government to mandate PACS while the Mexican government has invested more than $3 billion in healthcare programs.
In addition, healthcare institutions themselves are installing PACS. They recognize the significant return-on-investment generated through reduced film consumption, improved quality of diagnosis, and greater flexibility in decision-making.
The purchase of higher value-added PACS products is made easier, as health providers are increasingly consolidating and forming big groups of hospital

Hi there, As the subject says, my iphone won't work anymore. When I plug it, the phone not boot. A friend tell me that I can try the reset process ( top and middle button pressed few seconds ), but the top button not work since one year. I would to know if there is an issue to get back its memory (address book, photo, ...). Any suggestion ? Thx in advance, Gont
There are some of us who are interested in how to safely crack the 3G for whatever the reason. Keep up the good work.
Impressive display. The rest of it Made in China?
why did you crack it? ;-)
There is no TI chip! There is no Qualcomm chip!! Oh.. I forgot this is a GSM-EDGE iPhone. I was trying to identify an OMAP, and a MSM chips with failure. :o) Now the components make more sense. Still there are too many unidentified Apple chips. When are you planning to rip open an iPhone 3G CDMA phone? http://sunnyeves.blogspot.com
still take the blackberry internatinal over the iphone any day of the week. I can turn tethering with verizon off and on as much as I want during the monthly time frame. Without tethering Iphone is worthless. Just my 2 cents. I hear the phone service is at best weak.Iphone a small compter. I like keyboard on blackberrry. Each to his own. Some techies will always want to take a new phone apart. Just part of the nature of the techie.
hi my name is adonis and i was wondering if you can teach me more about iphone 3g. on how to unlock iphone 3g to use in other country sim's cause im using other sim which is from other country and it doesent work to my iphone, i have been jailbreak my iphone in 2.2 firmware and intall the yellow snow unlock application into my iphone. it works but my problem is i cant use call an i cant use text but i have a load on that phone, i only this he says when i try to call is the sim is not supported in this phone. can you help me,. you can email me at email@example.com i hope you can help me thanks,.
Excellent Job ! Thanks ! -Mofassir
Is the iPHONE 3G screen identical to the iPOD touch screen? I mean can an iPOD touch screen be swapped with an iPHONE screen and vice versa? Thanks
Will TR consider to crack the HTC Touch HD?
I couldn't do the restore i kept getting error 21 and or error 1604 I took the phone apart using this manual and reconnected connection points. I got the back-light working again and the phone is restored. I just have one hurdle left. I have to get the touch screen working. Becareful with the screen I left a permanent mark on my screen because I pulled on it two hard trying to pry it from the glass.
My iPhone got dirty so I threw it in the laundry with my clothes and washed it for about 10 min. :) I need to remind myself not to drink and wash whee. Thanks for the pictures because I figure the warranty is already void as it is not water-proof. With these pics it only took me 15 min to take it apart though I had to use a flat-head#1 screw driver as my ph00 wouldn't work. It was just stripping the screws. I'll take it into work later and bake it for awhile in one of our thermal chambers to dry it out and I'll reassemble and hope it works. Thanks for the info.
amazing! i wanna know where is the 3G antenna... could you please show me? cheers!
I have always had a problem with Apple and their proprietary shinanigans! I think this was awesome! It's a way to stick it to the man. It's just too bad they put it back together.
What will your finance department think?? Ref: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/decisioncentral/?p=122
A very detailed set which besides showing how it is arranged inside also shows how complex things also can be designed so that they are neat and elegant inside out. email@example.com
so where is the hard drive or flash for the 8 Gigs or 16 gigs ???
I've been enjoying the slideshow, but I must say, the one that made my day, but needs at least two more angles is the thumb injury. That's a keeper!
now, we may be able to buy a thinner better Iphone 3G clone at half of the iPhone cost without contract made in China or Thailand.
Nice work, Bill. I couldn't believe it still worked once you put it back together again. I shared your story with my blog readers at skylarknetworks.com/blog
When a person or organisation buys a device, that person or organisation owns it and can do whatever they wish with it. I for one am interested in what the owners have found, in particular with regard to Apple's gradual slide from being a Company that is grateful to its customers (as it was in its heyday) to one where money seems to be the prime motive. However, that doesn't detract from the brilliance of the products, despite its leaning to a change in philosophy from "Do what you want with our products" to "This is the way you MUST use our products", with its inherent restrictions - in this case restricting a user to a specific carrier. The fact that so many people are jailbreaking the product shows, in real terms, what people think of that policy.I do hope that Apple as it gains market share will not become the new M1crosoft.
the pic of the scratched up/torn "Do Not Remove" sticker is hilarious!
Really would like to see how it gets reassembled
Does this IPhone have Wi-Fi?
Thanks, you saved me the money of buying one just to see how it works... didn't want one, just curious about the "guts"
I use to do that to all my toys when I was a kid. The challenge was in putting them back together. You won't see me doing that to my iphone.
EMIs also function as heat sinks than... Clever!
Where is the GPS chip?
Wow.. Did cracking it open void your warranty? No matter it still works!
Check out Will It Blend?. They disassemble the phone much faster. http://www.willitblend.com/videos.aspx?type=unsafe&video=iphone3g
Did y'all notice or know what version of SIM card is in the iPhone 3G?
Its just a toy that resembles dad's Smartphone. Just like i-Pods, it is all hype, i-Pods don't use respectable compression, its a horrible format actually, but people still buy into the proprietary hype and then go out and buy everything else Apple overpriced for it so that it can be used like any other cheap MP3 player. What is it with marketing and geeks, the two just go hand in hand, SO easily sold.
Does IPhone 3G have Wi-Fi chipsets?
I dont see the fuss about an iphone 3G when mobile manufacturers such as samsung, motorola & nokia had 3G phones five years back.
This was a good article. Very informative and interesting. Satisfied my curiosity about the insides of the iPhone 3G. Thank you for the work put into it and publishing it for me to read.
Good job. As I'm asked to fix such things it helps a lot to see it done by you guys. Garry
Gr8 work indeed. Keep outshining yourself and continue amazing your audience. It was very informative.
When you make a gallery like this, try to make a low quality version option so that those of us who are on dial-up do not have to wait 4 hours to see a picture and a sentence at a time. A simple option to read a description of the interior without visual aid would be appreciated.
Hi Daniel, Please, how did you manage to get the backlight working again? And where is the small orange piece marked 3 supposed to enter? Thanks a lot! Olivier
That way of thinking puts a lot more pressure on the poor slob taking it a part. Thanks John. ;)
Ah yes, we all fell for the sales, marketing, business development hype. HANG ON... that's what you do for a living! You read this far... :) N
People still use dial-up??
My deepest condolences to you.
As a techie, I didnt buy a PDA, didn't buy a smartphone, didn't buy a crackberry. But I bought an iPhone and love it. My iPhone, as currently configured: * is my iPod for music * Plays superb quality videos and movies * is a pitch pipe for quartet singing * records audio from said practice session * is my GPS * finds destinations for said GPS by doing google searches * gives me a fully usable browser from which I can do my online banking from anywhere * uses encrypted wifi in my house, costing me nothing for airtime * gives me an 88 key piano for working out music passages * gives me a nice quality camera for vacation pics * tells me the weather anywhere I need to go * keeps my stock quotes near at hand * Lets me VNC from the road * Lets me RDP from the road * Lets me SSH from the road * has a subnet calculator * has a unit converter * has a level * has a copy of The Art Of War for me to read * has a searchable Bible * synchronizes calendar, contacts, etc. with outlook * slips into a shirt pocket or the small inner pocket on my jeans * Has the equivalent of a G-Tech pro performance meter for testing mods on my car and launch techniques * has dozens of games for idle moments I don't even do email on it -- that would be for somebody else's benefit. All that stuff, above, is for me. And for that, I paid $200 cdn and $30 per month. Yes, clearly I'm a helpless victim of hype.
Once you get out of the major population centers and even then it's slow compared to what they get in Cities. Col
thats what it is, well in 'technical terms'. Just like sites have to be accessable to the physically disabled so they should for the technical. It is through no fault of their own they can only get dial up!
I seem to remember an article on broadband penetration in Australia suggesting that in 2008 about 64% of Australian homes would have either ADSL (vast majority) or cable (most of the rest) internet connections. Any reason why the percentage of Australian high speed internet users has dropped in the last while? An item authored by Matthew Sainsbury quotes penetration of 49% by the end of 2007 with the expectation of reaching 69% by 2010. As for dialup disappearing, it is still hanging in there in areas where there are no reasonably priced alternatives. Too many areas where the telco's physical plant was installed when a rotary dial phone was the lastest and greatest innovation. ISDN? ADSL? Cable? Fugget it.
I totally agree, i live out towards rural areas although i can still pick up the signal for the wireless broadband sometimes it isnt even worth it the signal is that bad. Some people employed in this company still use dial up because the simple fact broadband does not exist for them. We are not that far away from the city and their are still people that cant get broadband. Try go to broken hill or somewhere remote such as tamworth, good luck. I totally agree Col but before we start to include larger pictures in blogs we need to account for these people who do not have access to these resources. In the end it all comes down to that not everyone has the access to broadband whether they cant afford it or whether it exists in their area
Play toy as it will not work. The 3 G network is patchy at best and poor in the country usually. Even the old Digital System leaves a lot to be desired once you leave the cities and bigger regional centers but the moment you hit the back roads you have a problem with coverage. The CDMA network has better coverage but as it's now gone in most places you are up against things. But when you get outside of towns you really don't have any option but Dial Up. Even here in Brisbane if I hadn't of offered to go to the Media during a election to the then Federal Government Communications Minister I would still be on a shared Telephone line using Dial up at half speed. It took a question to the Communications Minister to get ADSL and I was then under a mile from Carandale Shopping Center on the main road and Telstra insisted that I was on Acreage even though it was a small domestic block that had underground power and other services. Of course the Telco's didn't run Cable underground as it was too expensive so there is only this option available to overhead services. Even the local telephone exchange which is under 2 K away is still waiting to be upgraded and that is now something like 10 years after cable started to be rolled out. Of course Wireless Broadband is now taking up the slack so that the Telco's don't have to roll out any more cable but it's still got very limited coverage in anywhere but Sydney & Melbourne. Sorry but Dial up isn't even close to being dead yet way too many people are still using it and have no other option at all. Col
A good standard to have when posting pictures or graphics are to aim them to the 56k people. Its an access issue for all of those people who want to visit the site. Yes dial up is depleting rather fast but people still use it. I use it when im on the road, only because i havent been to look at wireless broadband although it is only viable for some people to still use dial up
As of the last cencus,August 2006, 70% of internent users were on broadband. Since then more options have become available and I'm sure that figure would be a lot less now. I know some people can't upgrade or who don't want the extra cost of braoband but the reality is dialup is disappearing.

Getting married the 2nd time
There have been many, but I guess the biggest was letting my marriage fall apart.
Yeah, we've been divorced for 5 years now. She left and is out of my life now.
Not spending more time with my dad. He died at age 38 while I was 17, I regret it every day
Hey, don't be sorry!
Everything happens for a reason.
I am stronger every day
having a fight with my brother the day before he hung himself.
Ty. It's been hard. My little brother was the only one of my family members that i considered family.
one of mine is, when i said that i want to marry my first crush... >///<
There's so many I don't know which one is worst.
Not giving a presant to the person who I loved when I was going to.
I was 15 and I was going to make this letter with pictures on it because I used to do that for her but on that day I chose to go out with a friend instead so I didn't get time to make it.
Well she passed away. That would of been the last gift I would of given to her so that's why it was my worst mistake. I should of done the gift and sent it to her instead of playing soccer.
Moving to this Red Neck Inter breed state.
there are alot more than you hear about on the news .
Marrying my first wife.
No, it was a mistake. I dated many women after I got a divorce.
I have. I got divorced many, many years ago. I met and married the right woman for me. WildSpectrumArts is the love of my life.
Thank you.

The Cleanwell units under the Kudumbasree Mission involved in garbage collection will now be equipped to carry on their job in a better way, thanks to a generous dose of financial assistance extended by the City Corporation.
The first instalment of the assistance package totalling Rs.10.56 lakh was presented to the women workers of Kudumbasree at a function held here on Monday. Mayor C.Jayan Babu distributed the funds.
As many as 72 units will benefit from the package for improvement of basic facilities for Kudumbasree workers that has been included in the People's Plan Campaign.

Join today! Learn to play Harmonica. Upload songs, videos and pictures. Share your progress and get feedback from other members.
An A harmonica will be the easier of the two mentioned to bend in the upper register; the blow bends
in holes 8,9,10. Because the reeds are so short and the tolerances so close the C harmonica will be
a bit more difficult to play the blow bends in the upper 8-10 register. Difficult but not impossible, approach
these bends slowly. The draw bends in the two harmonicas you mention are in my opinion equal as far
the difficulty in facilitating the bends (holes 1-6 draw), as the reed slots are the same length in many
models allowing for the reeds to have the same shape but different weight for tuning/pitch. Because
these reeds are approximately the same length you can expect similar response. Hohner and other
vendors use what is known as Short Slot and Long Slot reed plates. The harmonica key C and down to
G (and low pitched harmonicas) are in the Long Slot category. Keys D and above are Short Slot.
So to sum you may notice a difference in draw bend difficulty in say an A harp and an F harp. However,
difficulties in bending cannot be ever solely attributed to the harmonica, how we shape our mouth cavity
is a bigger factor in developing a correct bend, your mouth shape will change ever so slightly with each
bend be it blow or draw bend.

Here I am in beautiful Arizona. I love the harmonica! I've never been any good at it since business and family always came first. My best friends father found a harmonica in a cabinet one year when we rented a cottage on the beach one year when I was about ten. I never forgot how he took that harmonica out and played it! Was I impressed! Now around 57 years later I'm trying it again. If I play my cards right, with enough help in another ten years at 77, I'll start a ragamuffin band. We can always play at senior living centers to the old folks. Just saying

Howdy everyone,
First, I think the new site is great! Kudos to the designer.
I received a harmonica as a Christmas gift 3 Christmases ago and fooled around with it for a while but never got serious with it. I decided either I would learn to play or just forget about it. I decided to learn to play it.
I have been taking lessons now for about 2 and a half years. It is slow going and at times discouraging but I am determined to stay with it. My one disappointment is that I do not know any musicians and my effort to find someone with similar experience has not panned out but I keep looking.
Keep On Harping everyone!

Davey Godman copied the Hohner Harmonette. The Harmonette was first introduced in 1909,
Hohner put out some re-issues a few years ago, I remember them being red with a
silk screening on them, and at the time were made of Black Forest Pine. You may
search some vendors or the web for photos, descriptions, or availability. What Davey and
George are building look very similar and I am guessing perform the same, however I am
a big proponent of "sonic resonance" simply meaning difference in density of materials used
in making the body can have an effect on the tone of the "box". The term "Hoot Box", as best
I can find, comes from down under way and were/are very popular in New Zealand and Australia.

Getting the blow reed to stop is the first step toward an overblow, close gapping the blow
reed can help as well as gapping the draw reed a bit closer. As far as embouchure for the
overblow in hole six use the same embouchure as the draw bend (half step) in hole six, this
will allow for the same resonance shape in your mouth. A practice is to hit the draw bend in
hole six and them while holding the same resonant mouth shape try to hit the blow bend. The
other way of familiarizing yourself with the sound of the bend (the pitch raises) is to remove the
mouth covers from your harmonica and manually stopping the blow reeds activation. Hearing
the pitch of the bend is a great help in forming your mouth to the correct resonance.
I repair and do custom harmonica builds (hence the handle) I can tell you that a harmonica set
up to facilitate overblows will not be as responsive as one set up to play to its optimum, The
overblow is a compromised harmonica that will not respond to an aggressive attack because
the reed tolerances are so close. A hard attack will cause the reed to choke off and not sound
at all, remember that the overblow needs no more force to play than a normal bend.
You can find much more info on overblows here: www.overblow.com
If you have any questions regarding set up or maintenance of your harmonica feel free to post
I will do my best to answer promptly and to the best of my ability.

Hi Knud and welcome to the new site. Its great to have you here. I intend rebuilding the tab page but it may take a while. The old site was starting to fail because the software was no longer being updated and becoming vulnerable to attack, so I had to act fast which means it'll be a while before this site is fully built.
I've started another discussion where people can suggest tab sites for addition to our links page. Hopefully this will be helpful.

I'm going to add a list of tab sites to our links page, so if some of you could recommend sites that would help me

The previous/old site had a Tabs-section with hundreds of tabs for songs you can't find anywhere else. I know because i, among others, made a whole bunch of them. They are gone now!! I don't really care - because i learned a lot by doing them. You have to listen really carefully to the song to make them. Also you have to think which position is the best to play in.
If you need some advice (in this seection some tabs) about how to play a song - then post here in this forum. Just remember to be precise about it. A link to the song at Youtube will do.
Before posting use Google - maybe they already are made. There are several places with tabs. One of them is www.harptabs.com/ - but they are not all good. But try - lots and lots.
Maybe someone could post some links, where it's easy to find tabs - maybe here:: www.harmonicaclub.com/home/harmonica-links

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The heavy pollution of the downstream stretches of the Karamana river has created unsanitary conditions for devotees visiting the Parasurama temple at Thiruvallam to pay obeisance to their departed forefathers.
The stagnant waters and the accompanying stench at the bathing ghats near the temple put off even the most determined devotee from taking the customary bath.
In a bid to obviate the need for devotees to immerse themselves in the polluted water, the Travancore Devaswom Board has installed showers at the ghats.
Local people are up in arms demanding governmental action to check the pollution of the river. They are joining hands with mass organisations to highlight the environmental and health problems caused by the polluted waters.
They also fear that the unsanitary conditions would lead to a public health crisis and affect the region's nascent tourism industry.
Raw sewage
The Karamana river, flowing through the city, joins the Killi river at Pallathukadavu (upstream of Thiruvallam) and wraps around the Edayar island on its way to the Poonthura estuary. Both the rivers carry large quantities of raw sewage discharged from city drains.
Untreated waste water from the Milma dairy plant at Ambalathara is another source of pollution. The heavily polluted Parvathy Puthanar canal joins the river at Munnattumukku near the Poonthura coastal village.
The flow of water on the western side of the island is blocked due to heavy silting at Munnattumukku and accretion of sea sand at Kunnumanal.
During high tide, seawater from the estuary surges up to Thiruvallam through the eastern side of Edayar. When the tide ebbs, the dirty water from the Parvathy Puthanar rushes in, covering the upstream portions up to Thiruvallam and beyond.
Several projects to desilt and deepen the Parvathy Puthanar canal have fallen by the wayside due to the apathy of the government machinery. Last year, the Department of Water Resources took up a project to restore the canal. But that too was bogged down after the initial spurt of activity.
Local people feel that the pollution of the river can be prevented by dredging the waters on the western side of the Edayar island to facilitate tidal flushing. They point out that heavy silting obstructs the flow around the island.
According to Kovalam MLA George Mercier, the pollution problem can be resolved only by stopping the discharge of sewage and waste water into the Karamana and Killi rivers.
He said the Corporation and the government failed to kick-start a major sewage restoration programme despite getting ample funds from the Union government.
"The funds sanctioned under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) have been locked up for two years now," he points out. "As a people's representative, I find it difficult to face the electorate," he says.
Scientists feel that sand-mining from the upstream portions has also aggravated the pollution of the river by depriving the river of its natural filtering mechanism.
In 1997, the Legislative Committee on Environment reported that the pollution caused by the release of raw sewage into the Killi river near the Jagathy Bridge was at an 'explosive' level. The same year, the Pollution Control Board (PCB) issued notice to the KWA to stop discharge of untreated sewage into the river.
But lack of political and administrative will has hampered efforts to clean up the river.
The mass death of fish reported from the Thiruvallam- Pozhikara stretch of the river has triggered alarm among the people living along the banks. They fear that the pollutant responsible for the incident will contaminate their water supply.
There are also fears that the larvicide used by the Corporation for vector control could have led to the mass casualty of fish. According to L.Thankamma, former mycologist at the Rubber Research Institute of India, there is a possibility that the larvicide being sprayed in the Parvathy Puthanar and Amayizhanjan canals and the sewage farm at Valiathura could have been lethal for the fish.
She calls for scientific investigation to assess the toxicity of the larvicide.
Dismissing the apprehension, Corporation officials maintain that the biolarvicide is non-toxic and eco-friendly.

Is AIPAC Readying U.S. for "War With Iran?"
No, and some pundits are distorting a pro-Israel resolution to say so
For more than thirty years, we have constantly been almost going to war with Iran. With Passover just around the corner, why would today be different than any other day then?
Ali Gharib, writing in Open Zion, warns that "a joint resolution set to be introduced declares U.S. support for an Israeli military strike against Iran's nuclear program." Not to be outdone, Hayes Brown, in a hyperbolically titled article ("Hawkish Senators Ready Backdoor To War With Iran"), puts the point still bolder: "Two hawkish Senators want to set U.S. policy in favor of prematurely pulling the 'military option' trigger against Iran, pledging American backing of absolutely any strike by Israel against Iran and its nuclear program."
Worse, Mr. Gharib tells us that the resolution "will be supported by the thousands of delegates to the [AIPAC] annual conference that will stream through the Capitol this weekend." I don't know about you, but I'm scared.
So is an attack on Iran imminent? (I really thought Israel would attack last summer.)
The resolution does not "press to green light" an Israeli attack on Iran, nor are these "hawkish" senators seeking a "backdoor" to war with Iran and its nuclear program, which a majority of Americans already support.
The actual text of the Joint Resolution:
"Urges that, if the Government of Israel is compelled to take military action in self-defense, the United States Government should stand with Israel and provide diplomatic, military, and economic support to the Government of Israel in its defense of its territory, people, and existence."
The Resolution goes on to note:
"Nothing in this resolution shall be construed as an authorization for the use of force or a declaration of war."
In other words, the Resolution does not mention supporting a strike against Iran's nuclear program, as Mr. Gharib suggested. Nor does it mandate that the US support "any" strike by Israel against Iran and its nuclear program, as Mr. Brown alleged. Instead, it contains the rather banal statement that the US should "stand with Israel" if it is "compelled" to take military action in "self-defense" (two qualifiers in that sentence). It is noteworthy, too, that the Joint Resolution, in talking about military action, does not mention Iran directly.
Would AIPAC like for the US to state unequivocally that it supports any military action Israel may undertake against Iran and its nuclear program? Maybe–perhaps they believe a credible Israeli threat, backed by the US, will make Iran think twice about taking a hardline at the negotiating table. Does this Resolution state that? Absolutely not.
So rest easy: Your friends and the "thousands of delegates" going to the AIPAC conference are not warmongers after all.

AutoFire in Space..... or not
Ok I right click my weapon icons and for some reason they will not light up green like they do when autofire is enabled. Anyone else noticed this? it only seems to happen in space.
Mine were already lit up green, as I use auto-fire for space alot. However, while they're lit up green, they're not auto-firing properly. I'm using the "Maintain" option on auto-fire, and it's not doing anything. The other options work somewhat, but not in a way that is comfortable for me.
Same is true for ground auto-firing.
I bring this up as I sometimes have to step away from the computer while playing, and for longer than the 45-second "pause timer" allows for.
Someone once had clued me into a text command that you can enter into the chat box to bring the green up, though. I can't remember off-hand what it was.
This seems broken on live. I just made a new character and it will not allow me to set autofire.
yeah im stuck without my autofire as well since today actually when I put my new steam console on my ship i had to reorganize and im stuck now THANX I need a hand
I found a work around with help thanks to 2nd fleet :D
Bring up your HUD by pressing ESC key.
look for the green box that says "Ship Weapons" UN HIDE THIS BOX then right click on them to activate autofire. You may re-hide this box when done.
NOTE: This is not the normal box "Personal Tray" as shown in green if you view your HUD.
Nothing else works other than this for this issue that I have found this time around.
In addition to this, you may need to ensure that your power tray is minimized to 1 line as opposed to 2 or 3.
My fix wouldn't work until I did that.

Tell me about it, this morning, I woke up and I shit a squirrel, but what I can't get is the damn thing is still alive. So now, I've got a shit covered squirrel running around my office and I don't know what to name it.
Haha..Meade shouldnt worry about winning a title. He should be worried about getting on the podium based on how he did last year that's a more realistic goal. 65 is way softer than 74 this year imo.
He couldnt touch Lewnes Henrich or Reader in my opinion.
Don't think he goes up with Benefiel in the line up either.
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
I wouldn't like him against Lewnes or Henrich, but like you say its immaterial because he isn't going up anyway.
don't forget the 8-2 housing at NCAA's that was AFTER his 2 point loss.

Mint (kinda?) condition book, The Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading. I bought this, planned to use it....but never did. Famous last homeschooling words, right? I must have set it down on our kitchen table and something was spilled, so there are some pages sort of stuck together in one small area at that measures about 1" wide x 1/4" deep for the first 1/2 of the book. There is no ripping, no resistance to separating pages to turn them, I just didn't want to list a book as unused only to have it arrive with slight damage. Retails at Amazon for $19.77, I am selling for $10 + media shipping.
