A switch is a mechanical device used to connect and disconnect an electric circuit at will. Switches cover a wide range of types, from subminiature up to industrial plant switching megawatts of power on high voltage supply and distribution lines.
In applications where multiple switching options are required (e.g., a telephone service), mechanical switches have long been replaced by electronic switching devices which can be automated and intelligently controlled.
The switch is referred to as a "gate" when abstracted to mathematical form. In the philosophy of logic, operational arguments are represented as logic gates. The use of electronic gates to function as a system of logical gates is the fundamental basis for the computer—i.e. a computer is a system of electronic switches which function as logical gates.
A railroad switch is not electrical, but a mechanical device to divert a train from one track to another.
In the simplest case, a switch has two pieces of metal called contacts that touch to make a circuit, and separate to break the circuit. The contact material is chosen for its resistance to corrosion, because most metals form insulating oxides that would prevent the switch from working. Contact materials are also chosen on the basis of electrical conductivity, hardness (resistance to abrasive wear), mechanical strength, low cost and low toxicity.
Sometimes the contacts are plated with noble metals. They may be designed to wipe against each other to clean off any contamination. Nonmetallic conductors, such as conductive plastic, are sometimes used.
A pair of contacts is said to be 'closed' when there is no space between them, allowing electricity to flow from one to the other. When the contacts are separated by an insulating air gap, an air space, they are said to be 'open', and no electricity can flow at typical voltages.
Switches can be and are classified according to the arrangement of their contacts in electronics fields— but electricians in the electrical wiring service business and their electrical supplier industries use different nomenclature, such as "one-way", "two-way", "three-way" and "four-way" switches—which have different meanings in North American and British cultural regions as is delineated in the table below.
Some contacts are normally open (Abbreviated "n.o." or "no") until closed by operation of the switch, while others are normally closed ("n.c. or "nc") and opened by the switch action, where the abbreviations given are commonly used on electronics diagrams for clarity of operation in assembly, analysis or troubleshooting. The serve to synchronize meaning with possible mistakes in wiring assembly, where wiring part of switch one way and part another (usually opposite) way will pretty much guarantee things won't work as designed.
A switch with both types of contact is called a changeover switch or "make-before-break" switch contact, whereas most switches have a spring loaded action which momentarily disconnect the load and so are "break-before-make" types by contrast— which type is used could be important, if for example, the switch selects two different power sources instead of switching circuit loads, or the circuit load will not and cannot tolerate any interruption in applied power.
The terms pole and throw are also used to describe switch contact variations. A pole is a set of contacts, the switch's electrical terminals that are connected to and belong to a single circuit, usually a load. A throw is one of two or more positions (the nomenclature is also applied to rotary switches, which can have many 'throw' positions) that the switch can adopt, which normally, but not always correspond to the number positions the switch handle or rotor can take when connecting between the common lead of the switch and a pole or poles. A throw position which connects no terminals (poles), has a mis-match between positions and positions which connect terminals, but are quite useful to turn things "Off" or for example, alternatively select between two scaled modes of operation. (e.g. Bright illumination, moderate illumination, no illumination.)
These terms give rise to abbreviations for the types of switch which are used in the electronics industry such as "single-pole, single-throw" (SPST) (the simplest type, "on or off") or "single-pole, double-throw" (SPDT), connecting either of two terminals to the common terminal. In electrical power wiring (i.e. House and building wiring by electricians) names generally involving the suffixed word "-way" are used; however, these terms differ between British and American English and the terms two way and three way are used in both with different meanings.

The momentary push-button switch is a type of biased switch. The most common type is a push-to-make switch, which makes contact when the button is pressed and breaks when the button is released. A push-to-break switch, on the other hand, breaks contact when the button is pressed and makes contact when it is released. An example of a push-to-break switch is a button used to release a door held open by an electromagnet. Changeover push button switches do exist but are even less common.
This type of switch performs much better than the ball tilt switch, as the liquid metal connection is unaffected by dirt, debris and oxidation, it wets the contacts ensuring a very low resistance bounce free connection, and movement and vibration do not produce a poor contact.
The "knife", a flat metal swinging arm, is moved by the user between two or more contact areas. The knife and contacts are typically formed of copper, steel, or brass, depending on the application.
The primary advantage of a knife switch is the extremely high current capability inherent to the design. The amount of surface area on the "knife" that shorts the contacts is also extremely high, allowing a wide range of high voltage or high amperage applications with no circuit degradation, choke, or arcing during the switch throw. Thicker components need only be accompanied by wider contacts to conduct higher currents, which allows the design to scale extremely well with size.
Although knife switches are inferior to traditional switches in applications where user safety is paramount, knife switches are still commonly employed in everyday high-voltage applications such as building transformers, large power relays, and air-conditioning units.
Switching a load on or off from two locations (for instance, turning a light on or off from either end of a flight of stairs) requires two SPDT switches. There are two basic methods of wiring to achieve this, and another not recommended.
In the first method, mains is fed into the common terminal of one of the switches; the switches are then connected through the L1 and L2 terminals (swapping the L1 and L2 terminals will just make the switches work the other way round), and finally a feed to the light is taken from the common of the second switch. A connects to B or C, D connects to B or C; the light is on if A connects to D, i.e. if A and D both connect to B or both connect to C.
The second method is to join the three terminals of one switch to the corresponding terminals on the other switch and take the incoming supply and the wire out to the light to the L1 and L2 terminals. Through one switch A connects to B or C, through the other also to B or C; the light is on if B connects to C, i.e. if A connects to B with one switch and to C with the other.
Wiring needed in addition to the mains network (not including protective earths):
First method:
Second method:
If the mains and the load are connected to the system of switches at one of them, then in both methods we need three wires between the two switches. In the first method one of the three wires just has to pass through the switch, which tends to be less convenient than being connected. When multiple wires come to a terminal they can often all be put directly in the terminal. When wires need to be joined without going to a terminal a crimped joint, piece of terminal block, wirenut or similar device must be used and the bulk of this may require use of a deeper backbox.
Using the first method, there are four possible combinations of switch positions: two with the light on and two with the light off. N.B. This diagram uses the American electrical wiring name from the table above.
If there is a hot (a unique phase) and a neutral wire in both switches and just one wire between them where the light is connected (as in the picture), you can then solve the two way switch problem easily: just plug the hot in the top from switch, the neutral in the bottom from switch and the wire that goes to the light in the middle from the switch. This in both switches. Now you have a fully functional two way switch.
This works like the first method above: there are four possibilities and just in two of them there is a hot and a neutral connected in the poles of the light. In the other ones, both poles are neutral or hot and then no current flows because the potential difference is zero.
The advantage of this method is that it uses just one wire to the light, having a hot and neutral in both switches.
The reason why this is not recommended is that the light socket pins may still be hot even with the light off, which poses a risk when changing a bulb. Another problem with this method is that in both switches there will be hot and neutral wires entering a single switch, which can lead to a short circuit in the event of switch failure, unlike the other methods.
This method is in defiance of the National Electrical Code (USA) and the Canadian Electrical Code. In nearly any and all applications, neutral conductors should never be switched. Not only is this a shock hazard due to mistakenly believing that a hot conductor is switched off; it is also a fire hazard and can destroy sensitive equipment due to excessive and unbalanced current flowing on hot conductors that would otherwise flow back to ground on the neutral conductor.
For more than two locations, the two cores connecting the L1 and L2 of the switches must be passed through an intermediate switch (as explained above) wired to swap them over. Any number of intermediate switches can be inserted, allowing for any number of locations.
Wiring needed in addition to the mains network (not including protective earths):
First method:
Second method:
Using the first method, there are eight possible combinations of switch positions: four with the light on and four with the light off. N.B. This diagram also uses the American electrical wiring name from the table above.
As mentioned above, the above circuit can be extended by using multiple 4-way switches between the 3-way switches to extend switching ability to any number of locations.
For this reason, most power switches (most light switches and almost all larger switches) have spring mechanisms in them to make sure the transition between on and off is as short as possible regardless of the speed at which the user moves the rocker.
Power switches usually come in two types. A momentary on-off switch (such as on a laser pointer) usually takes the form of a button and only closes the circuit when the button is depressed. A regular on-off switch (such as on a flashlight) has a constant on-off feature. Dual-action switches incorporate both of these features.
The reason for the difference remains a bit of a mystery. A few hypotheses are often put forward, (for example in the USA if the switch spring fails it cannot cause the switch to accidentally turn on, in other words it will fail safe), but none have been validated. Since there is no significant technical reason for either preference, the standards likely developed due to chance and some degree of cultural isolation.
In countries prone to earthquakes, such as Japan, most switches rock sideways to prevent the switch from inadvertently being turned on or off by falling objects.
Sequential digital logic circuits are particularly vulnerable to contact bounce. The voltage waveform produced by switch bounce usually violates the amplitude and timing specifications of the logic circuit. The result is that the circuit may fail, due to problems such as metastability, race conditions, runt pulses and glitches.
There are a number of techniques for debouncing (mitigating the effects of switch bounce). They can be split into wet contacts, timing based techniques and Hysteresis based techniques.
Mercury wetted switches are not a popular option today, primarily due to mercury's toxicity.
If an on/off switch is used with a pull up (or pull down) resistor and a single capacitor is placed over the switch (or across the resistor, but this can cause nasty spikes of current on the power supply lines) then when the switch is closed (generally pressed) the capacitor will almost instantly discharge through the switch. But when the switch is opened (generally released) the capacitor takes some time to recharge. Therefore contact bounce will have negligible effect on the output. The slow edges can be cleaned up with a Schmitt trigger if necessary. This method has the advantage of fast response to the initial press but the current surges through the switch may be undesirable. Other RC based systems are also possible with various responses and such systems are probably the easiest method when constructing with simple logic gates and discrete components.

Weight loss Healthy Diets
If you're looking for healthy and balanced diet plans to shed body weight there are quite a few options out there. I thought it was important to outline how to tell if an eating plan plan appears healthy and balanced or may be simply a dietary fads plan that cannot last the long run.
Healthy diet plans typically have the following properties:
1. The eating plan plan is balanced: The eating plan plan will be a balanced eating plan including foods from the major food groups as well as a good amount of vegetables and fruit.
2. The eating plan plan will include a lot of variety. One of the big needs you should look for in an eating plan plan is to be able to stick to the eating plan plan for a long time. Variety is important for this as I'm sure you have probably tried those limiting diet plans based on few foods and become sick to death of the eating plan plan after the first few days.
3. The eating plan plan should adopt a consistent long lasting approach to shed bodyweight. The goal here is not to reduce as much bodyweight as you can in a week, but rather achieve a steady losing bodyweight week by week that is sustainable and healthy and balanced.
4. The eating plan plan should provide a nutrient deficit over the amount of nutrient consumption you burn a day until a good and balanced bodyweight is achieved. While the above points relate to an eating plan plan being healthy and balanced, this one is the crux of whether you will shed bodyweight or not. At the end of the day a lot of losing bodyweight comes down to calories: nutrient consumption in and nutrient consumption out.
Given the importance of monitoring nutrient consumption in the losing bodyweight process, I would recommend to take a look at a nutrient finance calculator. This finance calculator will let you calculate a number of metrics that are important in the losing bodyweight process, including an estimate of how many nutrient consumption you burn a day. Additionally, the site includes an exercise nutrient finance calculator to give an indication of how many nutrient consumption are burned in various activities.

Would you believe the Vette-Rod you see here almost became a race-only car? Believe it, because at one point in its history, any change would have improved it. That's because Bob Lucas started his '73 Corvette project with something less than a complete car. "There was nothing there but the back end of the car and a crap frame," he recalls from his Union City, Pennsylvania, home about what he started with. "We then went to Spring Carlisle and bought a really nice frame. Then we bought the front clip, and that was the start of the build."
Prior good service from HarborVette Corvette Restorations in Erie, Pennsylvania, led Bob to pick that shop to turn his basket-case '73 into something special. He says they met by accident. "I had a Z06 that I sent to Lingenfelter's," he says. "I got forced off the road in it, and I went to see [HarborVette]. They did the work to put it back together, and I was really happy with [it]." When Bob decided to move forward with this project, HarborVette Corvette Restorations got the call.
Over time, Brad Goetz and the HarborVette crew transformed the body panels and pieces into a smooth, yet aggressive unit. They added big L88 flares at each corner-with rocker panel flares linking them-and an L88 hood while smoothing the firewall and engine bay, fashioning a custom nose and grille, and widening the rear spoiler. All this before the silver/grey PPG paint went on. The body modifications were part of Bob's original plan for the '73: Build it as a track-only screamer. "Originally, it was going to be a race car," he says. "But it kind of got out of hand-we spent more and more money, and it's now so nice that I won't race it."
Those niceties include a chassis that had plenty of show-caliber work done to it. Bob says the Vette Brakes and Parts (VBP) C5 front brake conversion kit was prototyped on his car. "The folks at Vette Brakes would send us pieces that we would fit, and we would then send them back and tell them what needed to be done," says Bob. "Finally, they were able to get it all done, and they [VBP] now offer it as a package for C3s."
Once the suspension-as well as a VBP Grand Touring Plus monoleaf suspension kit and a Steeroids rack-and-pinion steering setup-had been fitted, HarborVette gave the frame some special attention. "They filled in all the frame holes that weren't being used with welded-in plugs, and ground everything down," recalls Bob. "We had it powdercoated silver, and coated the suspension and everything else in red."
Onto that dressed-up frame went a built-up LS1 and 4L60E automatic, which Bob says came from an unfortunate donor car. "The guy that had the engine before me had it in a Camaro, and he spent $8,000 on it," Bob says of the much-modified engine. "Then, the poor kid got hit from the rear, and that demolished his car. And I came out as the winner when he liquidated the engine."
As this project evolved from a pure racer to a Vette-Rod-style grand tourer, the interior got its share of special attention, thanks to Scott Zielinski at Sew it Seems in Erie, Pennsylvania. "The kid's a young kid, and he does really nice work," says Bob. "He does tuner cars for the most part. I saw one of those, and I liked what he did." Zielinski made the door panels and custom console, while the seat upholstery was entrusted to another local craftsman, Charles Sanner. "He's a guy that Brad knew, and he did a really nice job on the seats, putting in the stitching and all. It really turned out nice."

"Going into this program my expectation was that it would be a review of topics learned during my MBA studies and also various courses taken at other times within our company. It was indeed a review of many of these things, but my expectations were exceeded. They were exceeded because this program is put together very well and in such a manner that they are able to hit on the "right" issues that are relevant to the real world (not just text book "stuff"). They also do a very good job of tying things together throughout the week such that you come away with a lot of tools that can be used back on the job."
--Bill Wallace, Sales Director, Americas, Hercules Inc.
Value for You and Your Company
Application is a key element of program design. Developing Managerial Effectiveness includes a valuable business simulation exercise. In a risk-free environment, participant teams test implications of complex, long-range decisions in running their own company. The simulation drives home key concepts of the program by:
- developing strategic thinking,
- building competitive awareness,
- reinforcing financial fundamentals,
- demonstrating the overall interaction of various parts of a business; and,
- measuring the effectiveness of team-based decisions.
"I have to admit that prior to the attending the course, I was a little apprehensive since I have my MBA and have taken various management courses over the years. However, I did get a lot out of this course, with it serving as a refresher in many areas and more importantly, challenging my old habits and paradigms. I also got a lot out of the individual personality profile and the negotiating skills section. Overall, the course exceeded my expectations and is definitely one of the better ones I've attended."

Neurology, Psychiatry Grand RoundsEvent Details: 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m., October 27
The departments of neurology and psychiatry will host separate Grand Rounds sessions from 8-9 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, in two locations.
The neurology session, "Performance Improvement in the Hospital," will be presented by Becky Haden, infection preventionist at Saint Louis University Hospital since 2006, in Lecture Hall 1 of Schwitalla Hall.
Haden received her bachelor's degree in clinical laboratory science from Maryville University and had six years of clinical microbiology experience before transitioning to infection control and prevention. She is certified by the American Society of Clinical Pathology in medical technology (otherwise known as clinical laboratory science) and is board certified in infection prevention and control.
The psychiatry session will be held in a new location this week, Auditorium B in the the SLU Learning Resources Center. The program, "The Role of Psychiatric Assessment in the Evaluation of Decision Making Capacity," will be given by Daniel Haupt, M.D., associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine.
Haupt, associate professor of psychiatry, earned his bachelor's degree from Lewis and Clark College in Portland in 1991 and his medical degree from the University of Vermont College of Medicine in 1997. During his residency at Washington University, Haupt was honored with the Eli Robins Award for excellence in clinical psychiatry, teaching and research.
Haupt then joined the faculty at Washington University and received a National Institutes of Health career development award for his clinical research on adverse metabolic consequences of psychotropic medications. During that time, his ongoing love of medical education led him to pursue a larger role in clinical training and teaching. Since then, he has twice won the department of psychiatry's faculty excellence in teaching award from the psychiatry residents, along with the resident mentoring award.
He was recently awarded a 2011 Distinguished Faculty Award from Washington University, related to his efforts in house staff teaching, and was selected by the Washington University School of Medicine Class of 2014 to receive a Distinguished Service Teaching Award (Practice of Medicine Small-Group Leader of the Year).
Due to his many roles - directing two busy hospital consult services, teaching and patient care at BJC Behavioral Health's downtown clinic and the Wohl Clinic, Haupt helps train three-quarters of the nearly 40 psychiatry residents at any given time. He also plays an increasing role in the education of medical and surgical residents, both with scheduled lectures and informal didactic sessions as he helps residents manage complex medical, surgical, and psychiatric comorbidities on the consult service.

Too tight to call!
Stevo cannot wait for the play-offs to start and is wondering where the shock result will come from.
Last Updated: 14/09/12 4:22pm
It is the business end of the season and this is when the nerves really start to crank up. Are we going to have a shock? I think we may, but which of the four games this weekend will it come from?
I cannot look at any of the games and say there will be a certain winner, which is fanatstic for fans of our wonderful game. It should be a classic weekend as the best of what Super League has to offer will be on show.
Wigan v Catalans, 7.30pm, Fri Sky Sports 2 HD
Wigan are going to miss hooker Michael McIlorum big time, it is a huge blow. He has been playing so well all season and I don't know what got in to him. His three-week ban may have a huge impact on Wigan's Grand Final chances. A lot is going to rest on Thomas Leuluai who is short of match fitness. They will have to switch him into the hooking role - I know they have Matty Smith but Smith has not been playing with them long enough to have adapted to their style of play yet. Having said that home advantage is going to be a key factor too. Catalans will hopefully bring 1,000 fans but even if they were all opera singers they will still be drowned out by the singing of the Wigan fans.
Catalans have another huge problem and that is mentally they just don't seem to handle travelling and playing away. They can do it - we saw them fight back against St Helens and pip them at the post - but they really need to dig deep here.
If Catalans get off to a really good start and build their confidence then they will put Wigan under immense pressure. Catalans have the players to produce the goods - Scott Dureau has been outstanding this year. He was awarded the Albert Goldthorpe Medal for being player of the year and he is capable of doing something very special. If Wigan get behind they struggle - If Catalans get a couple of early tries that may make Wigan panic.
STEVO SAYS: I think with home advantage Wigan will just have enough to get past a very tough Catalan side.
Warrington v St Helens, Sat, 5.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD
What a clash this is going to be! Warrington's Michael Monaghan is back to his best and his clash against James Roby is going to be epic. Everywhere I look I see class players on each side who can nullify each other, however I do think that Warrington's depth just shades Saints' though. I think a lot will depend on Lee Briers' kicking game as well. Briers has certainly sorted himself out and he looks so hungry out there. Brett Hodgson is another player who have a big part to play for Warrington from fullback - especially his linking off Briers.
Saints have made the Grand Final six times in a row and who is to say they won't do it a seventh time? You would not bet against them with the likes of Francis Meli, Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Iosia Soliola and Jonny Lomax would you?
However, in games like this it is up front and I really think the likes of Adrian Morley and Ben Westwood will put in some huge performances.
A concern for Warrington is that they come up with too many errors and they need to cut those down. You have to applaud their desire to keep the ball alive but they must not keep on forcing the pass.
STEVO SAYS: Warrington should win but St Helens know how to spoil a party. Only one side has gone to Warrington this season and won there - and that is St Helens!
Leeds v Wakefield, 8pm, Sat, Sky Sports 1 HD
Wakefield are the in-form team and will be super confident going into this game. Wakefield coach Richard Agar has done a superb job getting the best out of his side. He is not asking them to do anything out of their scale. The likes of Kyle Amor works so hard and just never stops. They are not going to produce anything scintillating but they work as a unit and they just keep on coming. Okay, they fell of their perch a bit against Salford, but perhaps they eased off a bit knowing that they already had made it through and had one eye on Leeds. Tim Smith has had a wonderful season steers his forwards around the field. Wakefield do need to sort out their defence on the kick though.
Leeds were just not at the game last week against Huddersfield. They will need Rob Burrow to be back in form. He is the danger man and Wakefield know that too. Jamie Peacock will run himself to water too. There is no love lost between these two sides. A couple of weeks ago Leeds went to Wakefield and were taken apart - they will want some revenge for that and I expect them to start very aggressively indeed.
STEVO SAYS: I think Headingly should give Leeds the edge, however it will be mighty close.
Hull v Huddersfield, 8pm, Sun, Sky Sports 2 HD
Three or four weeks ago I would have thought Hull at home to Huddersfield would have been a certain win for Hull. Not anymore. Huddersfield, the side that looked all over the place, had no confidence, came out and gave Leeds an absolute hammering.
I think it was a stroke of genius making Danny Brough Giants' captain. He is the type of player who wants to be boss, and I think really gives them a lot of direction. One concern for me though is their defence - especially near the line. They cannot afford to waver there!
I've been very impressed with Tom Briscoe this season. He has really added a lot of quality to Hull with his skills. He knows where to put himself to take advantage and he can really turn it on. Hull concede too many penalties for my likeing though and I really do hope that they cuts those down on Sunday.
STEVO SAYS: It will not surprise me if it is a draw! However I'm sticking with home advantage giving Hull the edge.

I started The Looking Spoon primarily for two reasons:
That said, I don't know for how long this will last, but I have to give it a rest for a while.
It may be that this is just the super slow part of the political cycle, and so I'm just having a harder time generating ideas and inspiration...
Really though, I think it's that after creating more than 1,700 graphics in four years (over 700 or them in 2012), I'm spent. Mentally and physically spent.
I have a family, and they get my (almost) undivided attention from the time I get home from work until everyone goes to bed. Then, usually from 11 or 12 at night until 2 or 3 (or as my wife sometimes complains, even later than that). I look for really great stuff others create, THEN I work on my contribution to the mix.
I did this, night in and night out, for the last four years because I LOVED it (and still do). It has come at a great cost not only to my general health (I've forgotten what "well rested" feels like), but also to my finances. I pay to have this thing hosted, I paid quite a bit for someone with the technical know how to build this image gallery and the warts it still has.
Until last January this site wasn't even monetized, now it just has simple ads (which I get VERY little for). I had to do it because I have to start justifying my time spent and bring some economic gain for my efforts to my family as it continues to grow (I had a son born 10 weeks ago on Father's Day).
I've had bigger bloggers notice. First was John Hawkins of Right Wing News, we have a simple partnership that really gave a lot more notice to TLS. I continue to be grateful for his contribution to TLS's efforts.
I've received calls from even bigger names (one being much bigger) about potential "collaboration." One of them was the kind of call I've been hoping to get from before I even started TLS. It would not only have been something that would take TLS to a whole new level, but it was also a chance to at least try to make a career out of this stuff. Months and months later neither opportunity has gone anywhere, and I'm not optimistic they will eventually work out either....that's life.
I haven't been able to get TLS to the point I had hoped I could get it to by now, and for my family's sake (and to a secondary degree, my own) I'm working on something else that might be more successful since it will be focused on actually making money instead of blogging. While this new project is separate and distinct from TLS, it will actually be somewhat complementary to it as well.
In any case, I can't continue to work on making new graphics and memes for online consumption here AND pursue this new project.
This site will absolutely remain active, I will still post images I find to the image gallery and spin it out to all of the social media avenues that I've worked so hard to grow. I sure hope others will log in and post to the image gallery and share what they find there with their friends as well. However, in addition to my break from personally creating graphics, this portion of the site (the blog) will cease to be updated for an indefinite period of time, starting today.Add a comment

Texas Dad Accused of Murdering Drunk Driver Who Killed Kids
A Texas father, who watched a drunk driver strike and kill his two young sons, has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting the driver in the head moments after the accident.
David Barajas, 31, was charged with murder on Monday, more than two months after his sons David Jr., 12, and Caleb, 11, were killed steps from their home on a rural road outside Houston on Dec. 7.
Bond was set at $450,000, police said.
Barajas and his sons were pushing the family's disabled pickup truck toward their home late that night, as the boys' mother and two younger siblings sat inside, according to a police report released by the Brazoria County Sheriff's Department.
They were struck by Jose Banda, 20, the driver of a Chevy Malibu, instantly killing David Jr. and critically injuring Caleb, who later died at a hospital.
"Banda was determined to be intoxicated at the time of the crash," police said in their report.
When cops arrived on the scene, they noticed something else about Banda. He had been shot in the head. But they could not immediately find the murder weapon.
"Investigators recovered a projectile from inside of the vehicle that Jose Banda's was shot in. Investigators were unable to match that projectile to a weapon because no weapons were recovered at the scene," according the sheriff's department.
Witnesses at the scene watched Barajas walk to his home and allegedly retrieve the gun with which he shot Banda, according to a police report. When police searched the home, they found a pistol holster and ammunition, but no firearm.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by KATIERAIDER LOVE!!! This top is Fabulous !!!! I am 5'3" slender yet not a "young" woman any more, so must be waring of not age appropriate. That said, I do enjoy "fun" dressing !!1 this is great. It is not too long on me, it is also not too loose, I said it runs large due to the fact that I wear an XS in looser type FB shirt and a S in knt top. It is a nice heavy material with a nice flow, very feminine, can be worn all the way through the winter. I worn it belted, works well, does not bunch up at the bel area, with legging jeans and western styl over the knee boots !! Order this you will love it....the price is perfect !1 9.2.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Sydneymj LOVE! I am obsessed with this! The fabric is so pretty, especially when you walk and it flows around! It's a little to short on me to be a dress (I'm 5'5") but as a top it is perfect! Definitely true to size. 9.4.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by josie_biba be careful with the back strap.. otherwise perfect This is such a fabulous, flattering piece, I love everything about it. Super sexy yet comfortable as a dress and can be worn casually with a cute jacket/over jeans. The only thing you might want to be careful with -- the middle strap in the back. It can easily snap off, as I've seen a number of broken, dangling straps in stores.. luckily I haven't had any issues with it. I am 5'3", 110lbs and XS fits perfectly. 12.23.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Melie most beautiful top i have ever bought This tunic is amazing! I purchased the ivory colour when it came on the website back in April and it truly is a beautiful top. The ruffle layers are so light and drape beautifully. I would absolutely recommend this top to anyone. It's not long enough to wear as a dress, but it looks great with shorts or a miniskirt! Just be warned the straps are long and are not adjustable so in any doubt about sizing, size down. 5.23.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kikiweasel Wow! Love this flowing and whimsical piece! The material is silky and tiered very well, creating perfect layers on the body. I wish this came in like, a navy blue color combo! It is gorgeous, one of those dresses you feel like a princess in. 1.2.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by p1gp3n flowy pretty this has a surprisingly un-bulky fit for something with ruffles. sometimes i don't like the feel of polyester, but on this, it works. it feels silky and very light and drapes very nicely. i also like the faux leather straps. i'm 5'3" and i could technically wear this as a dress with the seamless romper, although it's still on the short side. i can also wear this with a bandeau and shorts, or with tights or skinnies. 10.1.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by THFL So cute but NOT for anyone with a chest! I wanted to love this, it's so pretty and feminine! BUT I have an hourglass figure and it made me look like I was pregnant- not flattering at all. Back it goes... 6.5.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by AJLaLa Too bad! I thought this was soooo pretty in the catalog and pictures and loved the material and idea, but in the end I had to send it back cause I just didn't find myself wearing it! I held onto it all summer (got the light blue colore-very pretty!) but I never wore it so I decided to send it back. I did try it on a few times and kept hoping it would magically look good on me, but it never felt right! Made me look like Phyliis Diller with one of her funny costumes! As pretty as the material and ruffles are, it just didn't work. I'm a slender gal with 34c bust. Maybe this is better on tall less busty gals? Oh well I tried! 10.4.2013

Inheritance Is Still The Problem Of Fuzhou Juban's Selected Provincial Cultural Heritage
Fuzhou, the Fujian provincial government Juban's become the first provincial-level intangible cultural heritage list of the news spread like wildfire, Juban's this cultural heritage, and finally by all levels of government in the Golden Age of the attention and protection. However, deeply rooted in the "old Fuzhou" memories of 10 fan music, how to inherit Fuzhou intellectuals became the "heart."
Chen Ying Mu old artist has been over 7 late this year, and he died the same generation of artists mostly, Xia Yibei apprenticeship which is also not particularly outstanding. Juban's most original style to be passed along from his hands, has become the old man could not understand the mind.
Juban's had recently been invited to Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions shows that the ups and downs of the melody, wonderful music, the long march of progress, has won praise overseas Fuzhou, Fuzhou, to understand the massive Chinese culture accumulation.
Juban's what's produced in which, now, not research. Reportedly, the Qing Emperor Qianlong 40 years, there is "Juban" tournament, played Fu, Lu, longevity, happiness and other tunes. During this period, it is already a very mature folk music, musical instruments, mainly flute, funny pipe, coconut Hu, gongs, wolf string, the size of gongs, cymbals size, clear drum and ten. Later added to the Sheng, wooden fish, etc..
Full Juban civil interesting music, began as civilians were enjoying themselves around the small festival mood. It does not scores, totally relies on dozens of understanding between the players. Somehow, Qing Palace this "it was difficult to something presentable and acceptable" forms of music are very much appreciated, have special gifts title "Heming Dance" words. Since then, the band will be in Fuzhou, Juban, "Heming Dance" as the team name, open to the transmission in Fuzhou.
In the "Juban" the birthplace of Fuzhou chating area, then still a lot of old grand gusto to bring. They said there Chating has to "listen on floor," "visit to listen to on floor", "Chin Yuet House," "Crescent" and dozens of social classes, attendance in the thousands, and social class separate ways also competed Dalei. Music Club show staged during the stage, and the brightest class community drum gongs, dragon and tiger fight, in full swing; audience, people, emotions were running boiling marketplace, great joy, think of this lively scene, high-pitched melodious, smooth and bright tunes like still Fang Jian, never dispersed.
Juban, music tunes, the capital of a certain content of each, describing a certain mood. "Peach will" is a cheerful birthday music, birthday, said the Queen Mother in heaven Assembly of Immortals Get birthday, man called Dong Fang shuo people, by nature-indulgent, not invited to the list, but to steal peaches, Queen Mother had invited him to an exception seated. A funny little incident, so that between host and guest happy. The tune then I do not know how many people to the birthday added to the scenery.
Today, we are still able to enjoy the Spring Festival and other traditional festivals, to the wood represented by Chen Ying, Fuzhou Taijiang "Juban" live band performances, but as the music stops, only by means of modern high-tech audio and video recordings, etc. can not satisfy people's most original Juban music appreciation.
I am an expert from Cheap On Sales, usually analyzes all kind of industries situation, such as jimmy choo mahala , nurse tote bag.

When I was a lad growing up in the 90s, computers were still considered magical whether you watched the old star trek movies with the commodore graphics or you watched a few cyberpunk films that depicted technology advancing to plateau's beyond man's dream. I personally feel in this time we know all the better and some of the design choices in todays offering simply doesn't inspire me like the old days. Even with all the bugs, slow internet, and headaches, that we had to deal with in , the journey was still fun whether we got mad, or frustrated like a love/hate relationship. I missed the old internet, not this web2.0 nonsense we're in right now.
Now things just seem too boring..
I remember as a Windows user I use to keep up with Apple's every move, I was really dazzled, and envious at the kinds of designs and features they were pushing back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Even the feel of computer hardware back in those days felt full of possibility.
Some memorable machines i liked:
Compaq Armada 4200
IBM Thinkpad 390X
Custom Built AMD Newcastles on display
Sony VAIO V505DC23
Titanium Powerbook
G3 iBooks
G4 Cube
iMac 2nd Gen (Graphite G4) (I was very fond of these machines in grade school got to experience slot load disc drives for the first time with OS9)
Yeah I'm nostalgia tripping but that feel when another generation will never understand..

'SLU 101' Draws Thousands of Students, Parents to Campus
Members of the University community welcomed thousands of incoming first-year and transfer students and their parents during this year's SLU 101 summer orientation programs.
Nine SLU 101 programs and four transfer orientations were offered throughout the spring and summer. A total of 1,637 new freshmen and approximately 1,915 of their parents visited the campus and 262 new transfer students attended the transfer orientation program.
During SLU 101, there are parallel programs for students and their parents. Highlights of the program for students include individual appointments with academic advisors, registering for fall courses, meeting with faculty in their school/college, taking placement tests, hearing from a panel of current students about their experiences and learning about campus resources and opportunities for involvement. Students cap off their experience with a night of social activities and staying overnight in a residence hall.
Parents attended sessions on topics such as the SLU academic experience, the college transition for parents, student services and had individual appointments with members of the student financial services staff to discuss their financial aid package.
Kent Porterfield, Ed.D. vice-president of student development, said SLU 101 provides a wonderful opportunity for connecting students, family and the SLU community.
"Our SLU 101 program is widely recognized as a 'best practice' in higher education," Porterfield said. "Through SLU 101, we help students get better acclimated to the University and better positioned for success when they arrive for the fall semester."
Students and parents evaluated the orientation programs as very effective ways for them to accomplish multiple objectives as well as getting to know other members of the SLU community prior to the beginning of classes. Porterfield considers those evaluations a valuable resource.
"Each year we make improvements to the program based on the feedback we receive from incoming students and parents as well as input from the campus community," Porterfield said.
The program is supported by the Student Involvement Center, the Office of Admission and the academic advising offices.
The success of the program can be attributed to the involvement and support from various faculty, staff and students across campus who welcomed the new members of the SLU family.
Thanks go out to all members of the SLU community who participated and supported the "SLU 101" Summer Orientation program.

The African continent accounts for 14 percent of the world's population and is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. With a growth rate expected to average 7 percent annually over the next 20 years, Africa is poised to become a leading source of innovation in a variety of industries. With this growth comes many challenges spanning traffic congestion to the delivery of fresh water.
If you have what it takes to help solve these grand challenges, the IBM Recruiting team invites professors, scientists and qualified university students to participate in a Research Virtual Recruiting Event for several open positions at our new lab in Nairobi, Kenya. The event will take place on 5 December and you can participate in several ways.

Caso explains his "pot o' gold" version of off-track betting system for Nassau County at press conference/Plan, similar to the one in use in Italy, Sweden and Puerto Rico, must first be approved by the New York State Off-Track Betting Commission before being recommended as a local law to the Nassau Board of Supervisors. Caso's "pot o' gold" system works as follows: A bettor picks the winner in each of six designated races as a single bet, with those who correctly pick all winners dividing a large portion of the pot pool. Those who select five winners will divide the remainder of the pool. If nobody correctly picks six winners, the payoff is on five and four, then four and three, etc. LUCKY GUY - Hempstead Councilman George Murphy, Republican candidate for State Senate to succeed the late Senator Edward J. Speno in the 4th S.D., receives congratulatory kisses from members of his campaign team. The pretty "Murphy Girls," left to right, are Jeanne DeSantis, Pam Tunison, Eileen Kratochvil, Maureen Fortner, Kerry Curran and Beverly Thompson. Town Supervisor John W. Burke announced this week that Councilman Salvatore Mosca will head two standing Town Board committees, including the vitally important Codes & Ordinance. ;Cwtj;WUtteeu Burke said Mosca will also serve as Chairman of the Committee on Safety. Mosca, who was recently appointed to a seat on the Town Board, served for six years on Town Attorney Bernard F. McCaffrey's staff and has been responsible for drafting and initiating much of the legislation relating to existing codes and ordinances in the Town. By assigning coun-cilmen to head various committees, the Board will develop more research and expertise that can be utilized in the legislative process of local government. Mosca will be assisted on the Safety Committee by Councilman Warren M. Doolittle. On the Codes & Ordinances Committee he will have Doolittle, Ralph Diamond and Lewis J. Yevoli as panel members. Mosca, a 39-year-old Bethpage resident with an active interest in youth-related problems, will also serve on the Recreation Committee which is under the chairmanship of Doolittle. *Harwoodon T.V.

"It seemed like poetic justice" stated an elated resident as James Tucci took his seat on the Island Trees Board of Educationat the reorganization meeting Tuesday night, July 6, and was later named President. Although Tucci had been the victim of a diabolical scheme to unseat him during his last term of office the people rallied to elect him again. The scheme hatched by a group of people politically opposed to Tucci petitioned the Commissioner of Education to make • Tucci give up his elected position on either the Library or School Boar*. This "trumped up" scheme led to a ruJing by the confused Commissioner that holding both the elected library and school board posts at the same time was "legally incompatible." What the Commissioner failed to realize is that at the time of Tucci's election to both posts nothing in the law prohibited his election to both. The Commissioner's exhalted position allowed him to become the tool of Tucci's opposition and helped them to gain their selfish end which was to unseat Tucci. The Commission of Education did for Tucci's political opposition what they could not do for themselves in a democratic election. They lost the election and his decision gave it back to them. If holding both elected posts was "legally incompatible" how is it that throughout the state many officials hold the same offices after having been elected to them, as does Tucci. The - people in the Island Trees District wanted Tucci on both boards and elected him to both boards. Now that he has won the School Board seat again the Commissioner's ruling will force him off the library board and the "will of the people be damned" because King Nyquist rules the Kingdom of Education <? Isn't it about time the King was dethroned and the power of the vote of the people given its rightful meaning and authority?

What does all the "lofty jibber ish" in the state approved textbooks amount to regarding democracy when in practice the head of the State Education Department-- the Commissioner of Education makes a decision to destroy that vote.

Rockstar has released 12 new images, now I've seen this storm drain before
and I don't remember seeing water in it...
That isn't just a storm drain, that's the GTAV interpretation of the L.A. River ... most likely the Los Santos River for the game.
I'm wondering if it appears after bad weather doubtful, but would of been cool.
Actually, it would have (or would've) been cool, not "would of" . . .

NXT-G v1.1 Available August 07
Read the entire press release from LEGO here.
32 comments:
Wow.. when I started reading it I thought it's going to be for free .. but I won't pay 20$ for that, not when I have NBC and other languages around.
- May 7, 2007, 11:16:00 PM
- Jonathan Daudelin said...
Yeah I guess if you like programming in a third-party language there isn't much use in upgrading NXT-G. For NXT-G users, though, I think it'd be worth it - I know it would be worth it to me.
- May 7, 2007, 11:27:00 PM
- David Levy said...
hmmm. I wonder how this affects the FLL registration for fall. That is, if one orders a NXT kit when registering, will the software include the upgrade?

Thanks a million for letting me know about this (via Jonathan's post)!! I got to have that upgrade! In the post on the LEGO site about it stood following: The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT software version 1.1 will be available in the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT #8527 robotics toolset from August 2007. I wonder if there will be any extra parts in that toolset. There was a set like this for RIS with a IR control, some pneumatics, software upgrade, some extra sensors/lights and some parts. I hope this set will be something like that, I'll buy that instead if there is some extra/cool parts in it and if it is not to expensive. I will get that upgrade whatever it takes, mainly because it frees up more space, is faster, compitable with more OS's etc.
David: I ask the same question. It is a officially LEGO software so it should be okay but it is an upgrade and the FLL rules says nothing about it. We'll probably have to wait until the official FLL rules for the Power Puzzle Challenge 2007. Thanks again!
- May 7, 2007, 11:49:00 PM
- Eric D. Burdo said...
Andy, if you google on the phrase "LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT #8527" you see that it's the robotics kit.
My guess is that LEGO will just upgrade the NXT-G software. Everything else will be the same.
In the past (with the RCX) LEGO assigned a new kit # when it made parts changes (1.0 -> 1.5 -> 2.0)
- May 8, 2007, 12:36:00 AM
- Andy said...
Eric, I knew that about the set, I understood it but forgot it again while writing the post. (Yes, I am not good in remembering things!)
The previous RIS sets did have a small "recourse" set with the parts I explained earlier. Like a add-on set for the RIS sets (1.0, 1.5 and 2.0). That extra set had software v1.5 in it (it was for those who had v1.0 if they wanted a new FW and SW).
PS. The post that stands it is removed is a post I deleted cause I forgot to write something in it so I copyed it, edited it and posted it again before I deleted it.

Finally Intel Mac support... but $20? NXT-G is crippled on the intel macs, did they really have to make us pay for functional software?
I was thinking of getting another NXT anyway, I guess I'll just wait until I can get the updated software with the new one.
- May 8, 2007, 12:49:00 AM
- aaron said...
+3 for Lego in having the clue to open up development on the platform, encourage experimentation, foster the user community.
-1 for being so clueless as to _sell_ an incremental upgrade to the users.
Do they realize they just canceled out a good bit of goodwill with their existing users?!! If it really was a leap, then ok. But improved compression and a few blinks and bobbles for $20 leaves a slightly sour taste in my mouth.
I suppose Lego is, just like all companies, going to make good decisions and bone-headed ones. Hopefully their good decisions will continue to outweigh the bad.
I still love 'em.
(thankfully, though I occasionally make bone headed decisions, my wife and kids still love me, too)
- May 8, 2007, 1:18:00 AM
As an NXT-G user I think this is good news. There are plenty of (niggling) bugs in the present software and it would be a good thing to be free of them. Of course I'd rather not have to pay for these improvements, but $20 is not so bad providing the V1.1 is not just a bundle of existing add-ons. (e.g., the 30% saving in memory, sounds like the already (freely) available miniblocks). I'm surprised the press release talks of the update being available as a CD and not as a download.
- May 8, 2007, 1:51:00 AM
- Andy said...
Aaron, I think it still is worth the money for the improvements though.
Tony, I agree, you Intel based Mac guys hould be able to get it for free or atleast cheaper then the other ones.
- May 8, 2007, 1:52:00 AM
- Andy said...
Andrew, thats true (all of it).
With 100+ updates it should be worth the money. The good thing about the new version beeing on CD instead of download cause it is easier to install it on multiple computers (for private use in home, YOUR work computer etc.). It could also be easier/better if your computer crashes etc.
- May 8, 2007, 2:02:00 AM
If they are shipping the FLL kits in May (as shown on the FLL season schedule on the USFIRST website), but the 1.1 upgrade is not available until August, how will they be able to include the upgrade to FLL purchasers?
- May 8, 2007, 3:09:00 AM
- Jim Kelly said...
I'm trying to get a list of the 100+ improvements (changes/updates) from LEGO - hopefully the list may justify the $20.
Until I know what is being provided, I'm holding my opinion :)

I don't understand why everyone is upset. You can still use your NXT with version 1 of the software. It's not like this new version makes your robots stop working. Buy version 1.1 or don't buy it, but don't blame Lego for trying to recoup its costs for ongoing development. I work for a software company and when we release an upgrade we charge for it. If we didn't, we would not and could not continue to put manpower into improving existing software. Sorry to be so blunt, but deal with it.
- May 8, 2007, 3:30:00 AM
- Andy said...
I agree with you there Cam! Good said, it isn't a big deal if you don't want to pay for it, just don't buy it then! If you want it, buy it, it isn't harder then that.
Jim: I hope you get that list! I would really like to see the improvements! I hope they include a zoom-in/zoom-out function too.
- May 8, 2007, 3:53:00 AM

from Doreen (12:09pm est)
"If they are shipping the FLL kits in May...."
FIRST will be sending an email about this to all of the FLL coaches later today that will hopefully answer some of these questions for everyone.
- May 8, 2007, 3:59:00 AM
Im glad they decided to fix there software. I just want to say, enhancements and add ons may be worth money but fixing problems with existing software should be a patch for the software and free.
Thats my opinion, of course.

I'm waiting for a normal OSX Intel Version...
AND now I have to pay for it ?
I'm searching for another OS like pbLua or NXJ!
Sorry! That's too much.
- May 8, 2007, 7:25:00 AM
wah wah wah
anyone else sick of the whining?
fine. quit your whining and don't buy it.
- May 8, 2007, 7:49:00 AM
- Christer said...
I think Lego has to reconsider this. It's not the money. It's the feeling of beeing conned and the trouble to get the fix, that make me upset. Just because I bought NXT early, I have to pay for the fix. Those who buy NXT after August 2007 will have the fix for free.
- May 9, 2007, 1:14:00 AM
maybe, but I bought my 2007 Toyota last November. I see that the 2008 Toyota coming out at the end of this year will have Satellite radio included. I think I should get the Satellite radio for free because it's better than the CD player I got.
I'm siding with those on here who say buy it or don't buy it, but don't blame Lego for trying to recoup its investment in the upgrade. It's $20. If you don't want to buy it then keep using 1.0
- May 9, 2007, 1:44:00 AM
- Jonathan Daudelin said...
Right... it's not like this update is a "fix" - the current version works fine. It's just some extra advantages you can get if you'd like to pay $20.00 for it.
- May 9, 2007, 3:21:00 AM
I will hold my decision until Lego publish the full list of what is fixed and what the enhancements are.
How ever I think that if there are too many bug fixes there should be a patch for free (not including new enhancements)
- May 9, 2007, 5:58:00 AM
- Tony said...
I have to disagree. At least for Intel Mac users. NXT-G on an Intel Mac is painfully slow and unresponsive, not to mention the fact that it can't use the bluetooth connection. I would say this update is a "fix". Its more like buying a 2007 Toyota which can't go above 30mph and the radio doesn't work. :)
- May 9, 2007, 7:28:00 AM

" At 12:21 PM, Jonathan Daudelin said...
Right... it's not like this update is a "fix" - the current version works fine. It's just some extra advantages you can get if you'd like to pay $20.00 for it."
Just ask any Intel Mac owner if he agree...
- May 9, 2007, 4:49:00 PM
- Jonathan Daudelin said...
There's lots of software that don't work on Macs - why should NXT-G be any different for free? It would be one thing if LEGO said the old software worked with Intel Macs when you bought it and it didn't. Then I would agree that they should give out a free update that makes it work on them. But if they haven't said it works, why should they make it work for free?
You might say it would be good business for LEGO to make their software work with Intel Macs for free, but they are certainly not entitled to.
- May 9, 2007, 10:13:00 PM
- Tony said...
Don't get my wrong, I'm very grateful that they took the effort to make a universal version that works with Intel Macs and $20 isn't that much, but its very annoying.
- May 9, 2007, 10:54:00 PM
- Andy said...
Tony and Jonathan, I think that you two guys have cleared this "mess" up for many people now, I say thank you because I have gotten very tired of seeing so many peoples complaint about it. I use Windows XP so I will only buy the upgrade to get the features though.
- May 10, 2007, 12:56:00 AM
- John Doe said...
I believe the main benefit of NXT sw v1.1 is full VISTA support. All commercial software manufacturers charge big $$$ for VISTA compatible software upgrades, so $20 is a fair deal from LEGO! Especially if the only alternative was NO special upgrade for us!

UFC president Dana White spoke about the situation on Monday and his advice for Alvarez was just to fight for Bellator.
Via MMA Junkie:
"He should fight for [Bellator]," White said Monday. "First of all, they have every right he signed a contract, and they have every right to him. But at least pay the kid the money. (That's) the reason that you get that clause in your contract where you get out find out what you're worth. You get to get out there and shop around and see what Eddie Alvarez is worth. Well, Eddie Alvarez found out what he's worth, and they've refused to pay him that. It's bulls---."
