Digital Flap Indicator for C172M
Digital Flap Indicator for C172M
Has anyone had any experience with the digital flap indicator made by Visual Instruments as a replacement for the clunky, none-too-reliable analog flap inidcator on older Cessnas such as my C172M? Does it work well? Is the installation really as easy as advertised?
Re: Digital Flap Indicator for C172M
Is the unreliability from the indicator or the "clunky-old" flap position transmitter? (great adjective, "clunky-old")
My point is that if it's the position transmitter, I really can't see the benefit of a digital reading of a poor transmitter signal. You will only know the position inaccuracy to greater resolution.
If you can confirm it's from the indicator than an upgrade makes sense. If it's the transmitter I would look at an upgrade for it. The upgrade would have to be compatible with the indicator.
The cessna sevice manual discribes how to adjust the position indication by adjusting a rod connected to the tranmitter.
There may be a built in circuit filter or delay to compensate for noise on the signal during movement. (This is conjecture on my part.)
I own a C172M 1973. I generally time how long it takes for 10% of movement and then check. I hold the flap switch down for the count and then check the lagging indicator.
Time how long it takes to run the flaps from 0 to 40 percent. Then divide by 4 and thats how long to hold the switch down for each 10% of position. I never thought it practical to have to know the position to a very close accuracy.
Re: Digital Flap Indicator for C172M
Flap indicators with sending units? My flap indicator works as well today as it did in 1963 when the plane was built.......1 notch per 10 deg of flaps and that stick is mighty big to miss sitting on the floor there........
One of the reasons I wanted a 63 173 was that it was th elast year of manual flaps and first year of the 2300 gross. Pretty good deal there.
Re: Digital Flap Indicator for C172M
I also liked the big flap handle - definate and you knew exactly where it was,
and I like the newer detent switches which are easier and require less pilot attention-distraction but pretty exact as to the position - you know where your flaps are.
One of the biggest drawbacks to the 172K was the flaps-switch-indicator it was ALWAYS a guessing game and you here how pilots overcome it, by counting etc., but on short final I like to limit the quantity of distractions and improve the pilot knowledge/feedback, and the digital flap indicator system does this very well - easy to read, easy to scan, precise. When on short final (or a balked landing and a go around) and it gets real busy, and full of other air traffic its great to not have to spend a lot of time on the flap position, and right about then it's also way up there on the priority list just exactly where those flaps are, it's a bad time to not know or to start counting- cause you have other things to do rather immediately.
It's one of the simplest, best, safety improvements You can make.
Re: Digital Flap Indicator for C172M
I own a 1960 C210. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has bought and installed any of the after market flap position systems on this model.
I understand the installation is an easy fix? Do you have to pull new wires to make it work or can the old wiring support the new system? Is there a calibration problem after install??
Best source and price??
Re: Digital Flap Indicator for C172M
I just installed one of these and it is great. My mechanic sort of regards it as a vanity gauge and kids me that all real pilots always know where there flaps are at any given moment. Anyway, I like it, it seems to work well and give me balls-on accuracy as opposed to my old, original flap meter.

Ginger is a gem. A friend recommended it to me, especially for the unique rolls like banana crunch, which has spicy tuna, and the S&M which is spicy mango shrimp! Their sushi is a great deal. Cute small space. I live in Brooklyn, but go to Ginger fairly often. Best EV sushi for creative roll lovers.
Posted by Anonymous on 12/10/2004
I have had handfuls of favorites, but will never have another. This place has ruined all other "outstanding" sushi restaurants. The banana crunch roll is what hooked me, the Opium roll keeps me coming back. The owner is so friendly and personable and all the wait staff are incredibly friendly. Dine in, delivery, I can't say enough.
Posted by Anonymous on 11/15/2004
My favorite sushi place in all of Manhattan! Go out of your way to find Ginger. Restaurant itself is clean and low key. Sushi is EXTREMELY fresh and rolls are as unique and imaginative as they are delicious. You will not be disappointed. I was tempted not to write a good review so that I can keep Ginger as my secret retreat.
Posted by Fred and Claire on 10/05/2004
This restaurant has all you could ask for; delicious sushi, inspired rolls, at-home atmosphere, outstanding service...even the owner is nice. Stop by and say Hi to Ron, Albert, Kadee and the rest of the super-friendly staff. Beware; your present sushi loyalty will be severely tested.
Posted by kyra on 08/02/2004
Sushi places in the East Village are on every corner. But this place seriously has it all. Amazing service, intimate atmosphere and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They also make very creative rolls which I love.
Posted by doug on 07/18/2004
this lil place is about a block and a half from my house, and though there are TONS of good sushi restaurants in the general vacinity, i eat here constantly. the sushi is always, always great. totally recommended.
Posted by DSheaNYC on 12/30/2003
Great little sushi restaurant. Very friendly folks, fresh & inspired dishes. Try the banana crunch tuna. (Then go across the street to Lily Coogan?s for a pint.)

New heart valve technology may provide improved quality of life for heart valve recipients
Ogden-based Heart and Vascular Institute at McKay-Dee Hospital, announced recently that it will be one of 15 institutions around the world to test whether a new innovative heart valve can provide an improvement in the quality of life for heart valve recipients. The valve is the creation of a team of bio-engineers lead by heart valve pioneer Jack Bokros, PhD, called the On-X Prosthetic Heart Valve.
Replacement of an aortic valve is a common surgical intervention performed in nearly 1,000 institutions and for approximately 80,000 patients in the U.S. each year. Most patients face a challenging decision of whether to have a biologic (animal tissue) valve or a mechanical valve implanted. Biologic valves have a finite life expectancy of approximately 10-15 years thereby requiring recipients to have the valve replaced and face the risks of another major operation. On the other hand patients who select mechanical valves rarely face re-operation.
The study being conducted at McKay-Dee Hospital, the Prospective Randomized On-X SJM Evaluation, or PROSE Study, will help to determine how the On-X valve compares on quality of life metrics to the older generation mechanical heart valves.
Michael H. Buch, MD Primary Investigator for the PROSE study at McKay-Dee Hospital notes: "It is important that we continue to bring the latest in technology to our patients in this area. The PROSE study was organized and conducted by one of the world's most experienced valve researchers, Eric Jamison, MD, of the Vancouver British Columbia University. It is gratifying that The McKay-Dee Hospital's experience is being included in this important research."
"We began implanting the On-X valve a few years ago based upon the request of local patients and after extensive study of this new technology," notes David R. Goff, MD of McKay-Dee Hospital. "We have been pleased with the valve's performance thus far and are happy that patients are receiving the valve they consider consistent with their life choices."
The On-X valve has been FDA approved for use in the U.S. since 2002. There have been approximately 100,000 implants world-wide. The valve is presently the subject of the PROACT trial being conducted in 40 Institutions in the US including Emory University and The Cleveland Clinic. The PROACT trial will determine if the On-X valve may be maintained in some patients without the use of Warfarin, an anticoagulation drug.
Clyde Baker, President and CEO of On-X Life Technologies, Inc. and former Ogden resident notes "It is gratifying to be associated with this new heart valve technology which appears to provide such meaningful benefits to patients and to be able to work with the professionals at the McKay-Dee Heart and Vascular Institute. It is an additionally wonderful coincidence that we have the opportunity to have a portion of this study conducted in my hometown of Ogden Utah.

About noon Plummer arrived with his column and a detachment of Col. William P. Carlin's troops. Capt. Stewart's Illinois cavalry company made the original contact. Col. Ross's 17th Illinois infantry engaged Lowe's troops first with skirmishers, then the main line of the regiment. A section of Union artillery was brought into service against the Missourians' 12-pounder, which responded. The 20th Illinois and 11th Missouri (Union) applied pressure to both flanks of Lowes's force as more Union artillery joined the battle. Lowe, having waited too long to disengage, was killed by a shot to the head, and his regiment retreated taking heavy casualties.
The 1st Indiana Cavalry attempted to pursue and to capture the exposed 12-pounder, but were stopped with heavy casualties by the fire of Thompson's forces on both ridges. They called for infantry support and the 17th Illinois surged forward to claim the now abandoned piece. As more Union infantry poured onto the field, Thompson began an orderly withdrawal of the guardsmen. In this he mostly succeeded, except for some routing cavalry.
Some of the Union soldiers believed that locals had assisted Thompson in the engagement. They were also angered by perceived mistreatment of Unionist citizens along the line of march. This resentment led to retaliation against the town by the rank and file. At least seven homes in Fredericktown were burned and other buildings damaged before the officers regained control of their men.

TRIPOLI, Lebanon: Four people were wounded when a quarrel late Sunday developed into an armed clash between supporters of rival families in Minyeh, north Lebanon.
The fight began after an attack on Abdel Wahed al-Kheir's family, which supports Future MP Kazem al-Kheir, security sources said.
An armed clash soon ensued between members of Abdel Wahed's family and others supporting Kamal al-Kheir, a losing March 8 candidate who ran in the 2009 parliamentary elections.
Three of the four wounded were identified as Omar Khodr al-Kheir, Ali Khodr al-Kheir and Hussein Mohammad al-Kheir.
They were taken to the local Kheir Hospital.
The Lebanese Army intervened and launched a search for the attackers, said the sources, who spoke to The Daily Star on condition of anonymity.

Old English etan (class V strong verb; past tense æt, past participle eten) "to eat, devour, consume," from Proto-Germanic *etanan (cf. Old Frisian ita, Old Saxon etan, Middle Dutch eten, Dutch eten, Old High German ezzan, German essen, Old Norse eta, Gothic itan), from PIE root *ed- "to eat" (see edible).
Transferred sense of "slow, gradual corrosion or destruction" is from 1550s. Meaning "to preoccupy, engross" (as in what's eating you?) first recorded 1893. Slang sexual sense of "do cunnilingus on" is first recorded 1927. Eat out "dine away from home" is from 1933. The slang phrase to eat one's words is from 1570s; to eat one's heart out is from 1590s; for eat one's hat, see hat.

v. ate (āt), eat·en (ēt'n), eat·ing, eats
To take into the body by the mouth for digestion or absorption.

By now you've heard from the various news sources that, in this week's Supreme Court arguments on California's Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act, a majority of justices expressed skepticism over both. So it's imaginable—even probable, if you believe the news—that we will find ourselves at the end of June with DOMA in the junk pile and marriage equality back on the books in California.
But don't put the pink champagne on ice just yet. In both days of argument, the justices spent an extraordinary amount of time dealing with knotty procedural issues. Both cases are complicated by the fact that the executive officers who usually defend laws in court (the governor and state attorney general for Prop. 8, the president and U.S. attorney general for DOMA) have no stomach for such defense, since they think the laws they'd be defending are unconstitutional. So as the nation anticipated a debate over the importance and meaning of marriage, the Court had a debate over procedure.
Wednesday, I was in the courtroom as the justices engaged three separate lawyers—one from the government, one from the congressional leadership, and one appointed by the Court—on arcane issues of whether the president was the only party who could challenge the decision in the lower court striking down DOMA. For almost an hour, the Court wrestled with the dilemma that this caused for the Court. Could the president steal from the Court its opportunity to decide the case because he did not want to challenge it?
Once the argument turned to the merits of whether DOMA was unconstitutional, there were a few minutes of active questioning of the congressional leadership's attorney, arguing in favor of DOMA. But the energy couldn't be sustained. As the Court's second hour of argument wore on, even Justice Antonin Scalia, usually one of the most engaged questioners, leaned back in his chair. Then Stephen Breyer. Clarence Thomas—never an active questioner anyway—went from leaning forward with interest, to rubbing his face as if to ward off a yawn. By the time the attorney for the original plaintiff, Edith Windsor, stood up to argue that the constitutional principle of equality should protect her same-sex marriage, the air had gone out of the balloon. After Windsor's attorney floundered on a couple of what-should-have-been-obvious questions, the justices seemed to disengage completely. What was left was a sequence of awkward pauses while the attorney looked through her notes to see what she should say in the absence of questions.
To paraphrase T.S. Eliot, the argument ended not with a bang but a whimper.
So the justices left the courtroom after surprisingly little discussion about the merits of the equal-protection arguments against DOMA. Instead, the key swing vote, Anthony Kennedy, seemed fascinated by the notion that DOMA was unconstitutional not because of the fact that it embodied prejudice against gay men and lesbians but because the federal government did not have the power to legislate in an area traditionally left to the states.
If Kennedy goes that direction, there is no way he will command a majority. The four liberals on the ideological left of the Court (Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan) may vote to strike down DOMA as unconstitutional discrimination, but without Kennedy there is no majority for that view. Kennedy's vote would be the fifth to strike it down, but on the deeply conservative and troubling grounds of the lack of federal power.
Such an outcome would be a victory, I suppose, but it would come at a high cost. There would be no agreement that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is constitutionally problematic, so other discriminatory statutes—for example, those banning adoption by gay couples—would survive. Moreover, a Kennedy opinion offering a rationale that prioritized state rights would mean that the federal government could not, say, adopt a statute protecting same-sex couples. (A hypothetical that Chief Justice John Roberts kept hammering.) Nope, Kennedy would say, that's up to the states. And of course, Kennedy's fixation on states' rights in the DOMA case would imply that he is likely to uphold state laws that limit marriage to between men and women. Like Prop. 8.
So DOMA could be struck down, with the price being a survival of Prop. 8. Or the Court could avoid ruling on the merits of Prop. 8 entirely, if it decides that the procedural issues are sufficiently problematic that it should simply kick the can down the road one way or the other. If that happens, the cases would end like the argument—not with a bang or a champagne cork but with a whimper.
So, don't expect much. No majority opinion exhorting the importance of marriage equality. Perhaps a bunch of tedious opinions about arcane standing law. Perhaps an opinion lauding the right of state "sovereigns"—they love that word—to make their own decisions on marriage. Maybe Prop. 8 survives, or maybe not. But bans on gay marriage in most states will still be on the books in a year. Or ten.
Earlier this week, at the end of my constitutional law class, I urged my students to remember where they were when these arguments took place, since we may see this generation's Brown v. Board of Education. But after the three hours of argument over the last two days, I don't think my students will need to save their diaries.
That day will come, but not this year.

The insulting paranoid clown, or the annoying
adopter of judging to scapegoat or mollify simply
by virtue of the fact that naked pointless
judging can afford that, and the concomitant
arrogant ego defender will all be likelier
gay gene carriers, actually, though there is
actually a pecking order for that based on
Virtually all murderers of gays or straights mistaken
for gay have proved gay. Virtually the entire leadership
of the religious right has step by step proved being
gay, or else variously mysognist and/or liker of
dominatrix services. Both fathers and mothers will
replace recognition and love with scapegoating, mollification
and ego defense if they are absorbed by witchhunt.
Hitler was reported by the British press soon after the
war to have had Eva Braun relieve hereself on his face.
The genetic basis comes from direct scientific work.
The witchhunt community sends it into its own community.
Besides what would ordinarily be optimal
occurrence developmentally (after a few babes,
a few more for special purposes for the sake of
numeric genetic advantage--the Spartan army
was a gay army, something resonant with
America's mercenaries, drenched with inadequacy
from an emotional family likely related to
the Peter Pan Syndrome, though those voluntarily
encouraging their own needs for angioplasty
lest they be wrongly ferreted out as gay would
indeed be the most physically as well as
emotionally inadequate,) we know from a
simultaneous proving:
science: history, morality
morality: science, history
history: science, morality
that it is indeed genetic.
Judging (morality/) transference (psychiatry)
to scapegoat/mollify/ego defend serve
control, slavery.
History's greatest control freaks have all
been gay fascists.
Hitler was famously feminine.
JFK's killers were gay fascists, with an
ego defender and gender asserter killing the stooge.
Jack Ruby was no different from the punk in the
pick-up truck tailgating families on the
freeways in L.A.
Boys hurt animals. Men don't, but they do if they
need asserting gender.
There's nothing the least bit wrong with machismo.
There is much wrong with paranoia, which is Greek
for all knowing.
I think it's conveyed by the same people who
provided Gilgamesh's instruction that good deeds
informationally immortalize with good information.
I think that's consistent with logos (living word,)
which the Greeks arrived at with paranoia (all knowing.)
I think Pascal discovered a connecting of morality, science
and history in Nostradamus' coding.
I think Pascal's version of Yang Hui's triangle reflects that.
I think Pascal's probablism is a restatement of Gilgamesh
and a pre-statement of quantum mechanics.
I think quantum mechanics is a mathematical confirmation of
logos, implying information lives.
I don't know if Christ ever existed.
I do think Moses/Mohammed (educated by a woman who would
become his wife--Kadija/) Christ are deliberately
conceptualized to reflect living informations: freedom,
equality, love (brotherhood/sisterhood historically, with
sisterhood added by myself.)
Demonizing has involved an infinity of vulnerabilities and
instances of divide and conquer besides demonizing gays so
as to control every straight male. Women were burned at
the stake when midwives threatened medieval doctors.
The bottom level of transference is fear of the person
resembling the obnoxious prior, identifying modern life.
The witchhunt expression instead of the non-judgemental
expression will complete our enslavement and destruction of
our appropriate ecology.
The following is searchable/utterly true.
Thomas Jefferson believed in UFO's. He thought
moral thought and science were linked.
He rewrote the Christian Bible minus those things that
could lend themselves to judging.
There's a basis of validation for that on a purely
moral level, while being simultaneously on a science
level/history level.
If the Kaifeng Jews are the lost tribe, then, as the
Vatican discovered hundreds of years ago when Father
Matteo reported the leader of the lone, surprisingly
discovered Chinese Jewish Congregation was himself
Chinese and was also the official emporer's Master
of Confucianism, then it's true and prophesy is
completed presently: a conveyed experiment is completed.
The Chinese religion is the same as the Western.
Except whereas we were admonished to not judge but
our leaders followed the formula of witchhunt anyway,
the Chinese did not.
China has very many ethnicities but has not known
witchhunt. It has never demonized gays.
Yet, it is Judeo-Christian-Muslim.
Hinduism and Buddhism, upon close inspection, confirm
all telling elements and are the same also.

My insurance was good for North America, Europe, and the Middle East. There is a policy that covers Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and maybe a few others.
As for safety of my bike...I always felt that if someone really wanted something, they were going to take it. I opted to take a cheap bike I could easily replace and not take any items that would devastate me if lost/stolen (family heirloom ring or something).
I would park inside the hotel/hostel or in a secure garage. Left all my gear on my bike except my laptop and shower stuff. Only time I had anything stolen was two t-shirts and a pair of shorts I had just washed that I left on my bed in a hostel.
People that had GSs and multi thousand dollar cameras/laptops/gear were paranoid ALL the time. Don't be that person.
Do you, or does anyone, know countries that require insurance AND do NOT permit you to buy it at the border, excepting of course those that I can easily get cover for on a Green Card, like from ADAC? In my travels this year in Western and Eastern Europe and a bit of Asia, I did not come across any that would not let me buy at the border if they were not on my Green Card.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson video: Will he play DC Comics hero Shazam?Add to Favorites | Today
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has hinted -- not for the first time -- that he wants to play a DC Comics superhero in a movie. This newest hint comes from an interview with "Today" on Tuesday (July 22).
In the interview, Johnson explains that he has a project in the works that's only waiting for a script before it can get going. "Yes, it is going to happen. I've been dying to announce it, by the way," he tells host Savannah Guthrie. "We still have to find the right writer. We're having two, three takes right now. But I'm very excited about it. It's going to be great. I've been waiting a long time for this, and so have the fans, by the way."
While this interview doesn't give any hints as to which character Johnson might play, speculation has arisen from another interview, this one with TotalFilm.com in which Johnson claims the character has "the power of Superman." He also hints that fans should just "say the word."
These two clues have led some to believe that Johnson is hoping to play Shazam, a classic superhero since the 1940s.
But there is nothing more concrete than this at this time.

MEMPHIS, TN (localmemphis.com) - July 1st: 83°; August 1st: closer to 90° and a bit more humid but not bad.
Despite the somewhat different start, the two months might end up being very similar.
For much of July, the jet stream was pointed right over the Mid-South leading to more fronts; meaning more storms and cooler temperatures. To think of it simply, North of the jet stream there is cooler air. South of the jet stream there is warmer air.
We've started August and the jet stream has not moved much. It's inched slightly North but it's still close enough to paint on a cooler than average scenario; especially the more North you go. In the same way the jet stream separates cool and warm, it separates dry and wet. NOAA's outlook gives the Mid-south a 30-40% chance of a wetter than average August.
The 'jet' also acts as a highway for storms that form to our northwest. As they pop up they'll follow the jet stream right into the Mid-south leading to higher storm chances, more clouds and as a result lower temperatures.

Finding the right guest bloggers for your site is a great way of building up your content, and getting new information to your readers. Kronick / Shutterstock.com
Dear Shama,
As a new start-up, we know that it is important for us to gain more awareness. We already blog and are slowly (but steadily!) building up our social media presence. Recently, we were approached by someone who wanted to guest post on our site, and it got us thinking that we should also consider guest posting on other sites. We want to do this correctly. Any tips on how to land guest posts, and any etiquette we should follow?
—Max B.
Dear Max,
Thanks for your question, and congrats on your new company. Guest posting can be an excellent strategy to increase visibility, gain a credible introduction to a brand new audience, and for boosting your search engine rankings (links back to your website from another relevant and credible website can earn you points in Google's books.) So, what's the challenge? Most bloggers are wary of guest post queries. They are tired of being bombarded by requests from people who clearly understand the benefits of guest posting for themselves but have little or no consideration for the blogger.
Here are the key components to becoming a successful guest blogger or even being accepted as a guest blogger. One, do your research. Look for blogs which are relevant to your subject and audience. Don't necessarily focus on the biggest blogs either because the chances are that they already get approached by too many others. Second, read the blogs you want a chance to guest post for and familiarize yourself with their approach and content. Leave your own comments when appropriate. Next, come up with a few topics and ideas which you believe may resonate well based on your research. Finally, when you pitch the blogger in question, be sure to do it in a personalized and courteous manner.

Thanksgiving dinner more expensive this year, Va. Farm Bureau says
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - It's going to cost more to feed the pilgrims this Thanksgiving.
The Virginia Farm Bureau has released its annual Thanksgiving survey of grocery stores. It indicates that feeding a group of 10 adults will cost $48.03. That's $4.46 more than last year.
The survey menu includes turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, rolls, peas and cranberries. It also includes a relish tray of carrots and celery and, of course, pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
The cost could be higher or lower depending upon location. The survey found the highest average cost for a Thanksgiving meal was in Keysville in Charlotte County at $60.59. The cheapest was $39.03 in Ruckersville in Greene County.

Ideas to decorate the front door
Although most are not fully aware, the gate input is one of the most important parts of a house as it is the first thing you perceive all members of your family, like your guests to enter the home, saying much yourself. So, for your whole house a good impression, you should begin by the entrance.
Furthermore, according to Feng Shui, a nicely decorated front door can attract good energy, something that we all need right now therefore, do not you think you have to take into account your decor? We give you a few thoughts. Ready?
Believe it or not, the color of the gateway can help your home shoulder above the rest. Darker shades will give your home a more elegant, while the brown tones will give warmth. Even if you prefer a touch fun, you can always opt for the most striking shades like yellow or red.
Plants, flowers and wreaths
Another good idea for the entrance of your home to a good impression is to place plants near the door. It is best to choose containers and, if you can, opt for the flowers of each season. Also, you can decorate your front door with crowns depending on the season. Now that Christmas comes is a good time to do so.
The number, the handle and the handle
You can also play with some basic elements that are usually always in the front doors. For example, if you want to give a special touch to your home number, you can paint, use a vinyl, buy numbers large metal or pick them. You can also choose different doorknobs and handles, whether acetate minimalist, old or original.

A lip kiss is something that raises the eyebrows of few people always when it comes to pulling it on Telugu silver screen. We are of course witnessing them now and then these days, but this one that happened on a dance reality show is simply shocking.
Almost all Telugu channels have come up with dance shows that feature dancers, choreographers, anchors, TV serial actors and some faded heroines. One such program is called 'Super Jodi', where actors from TV serials dance along with their girlfriend/boyfriends or real life partners. There is this beauty named Pallavi, who went on to become household name after her lead role in the serial 'Pasupu Kumkuma'. Dancing with her husband Gokul in the show, she shocked one and all at the end of her performance by kissing him on the lips. The ordeal lasted for couple of seconds before judge Lakshmi Manchu went jaw dropped with a shocking expression.

The report, written by Fred Pearce, says that Uganda is violating a 50-year-old international agreement designed to protect the lake. The following is a release from the New Scientist.

Covering nearly 70,000 square kilometres, Lake Victoria takes a big bite out of surrounding Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. An estimated 30 million people depend on it for their livelihoods. Since 2003, however, the lake has lost 75 cubic kilometres of water, about 3 per cent of its volume, leaving international ferries stranded far from their jetties, fishing boats mired in mud, and towns running low on water.
The only outlet for Lake Victoria, which is ringed by mountains, is at Jinja in Uganda, where it forms the Victoria Nile. Until 1954, the lake emptied into the Nile over a natural rock weir, but that year British colonial engineers blasted out the weir and replaced it with the Owens Falls dam, now renamed the Nalubaale dam, which effectively transformed the lake into a giant hydroelectric reservoir.
At the time, engineers agreed that the amount of water flowing through the dam's turbines should mimic the old natural flow over the weir. The formula -- known as the "agreed curve" -- set a maximum flow of between 300 and 1700 cubic metres per second, depending on the water level in the lake. The agreed curve remains in force today under a treaty with Egypt, the ultimate user of most of the Nile's water.

African lakes disappearing -- UN survey
The dramatic and, in some cases damaging environmental changes sweeping Africa's lakes are brought into sharp focus in a new atlas. Produced by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Atlas of African Lakes compares and contrasts spectacular satellite images of the past few decades with contemporary ones.
However, it now seems that the dams themselves are as much to blame as the recent drought. Daniel Kull, a hydrologist with the UN's International Strategy for Disaster Reduction in Nairobi, Kenya, calculates that if the dams had been operated according to the agreed curve during the past two years, the drought would have caused only half the water loss actually seen. "Today's lake levels would be around 45 centimetres higher," he writes in a report released this week by the California-based environmental lobby group, International Rivers Network. Kull estimates that in the past two years, the Ugandan dams have released water at an average of almost 1250 cubic metres per second. That is 55 per cent more than the flow permitted for the relevant water levels. While Uganda does not routinely publish figures on the dams' operations, Kull says sporadic official reports show that releases were nearly twice the permitted rates in both March and November 2005 -- supporting his conclusion. "This dam complex is pulling the plug on Lake Victoria," says Frank Muramuzi of Uganda's National Association of Professional Environmentalists.

'House of Food': Brooke Williamson is embarrassed she's not been to AsiaAdd to Favorites | House of Food
When chef Brooke Williamson signed on for MTV's "House of Food," it was to teach. As is so often the case with teachers, she wound up learning.
"I learned how to approach situations differently," she tells Zap2it. "I come from a place of being a very understanding person in a kitchen. I started out in kitchens knowing nothing. But to understand where they were coming from and why they were there, I had to be harder on them than I normally would be on someone with no experience. They had to be broken down a little bit. They felt like they had won this opportunity, but I did not know yet if they deserved it."
The Monday show combines elements of reality shows where all contestants live together with learning to cook from experienced chefs. Some participants had no idea it was such hard work; others didn't take it seriously enough.
"I teach all the time in my kitchen, but I teach people who have experience," Williamson says. "We have interns who we stick on the side and do prep work and knife work. These people were depending on us to be functional people in a restaurant and had absolutely no knowledge."
Williamson learned by doing.
"I did not go to culinary school," she says. "I trained in kitchens in L.A. with some great chefs. I attended a cooking school at 15, but I never did serious classic training."
She and her husband, chef Nick Roberts, have three Los Angeles-area restaurants.
"Hudson House is a cocktail-driven gastro pub," she says of the restaurant named after their son, Hudson. "The Tripel is a very, very small craft beer-focused [eatery] and another sort of informal but upscale bar meal. And Playa Provisions is four concepts."
Called Playa because it's across the street from the beach, it offers an ice cream shop, a seafood restaurant, a backroom whiskey bar and a sit-down restaurant.
Like anyone who loves a good meal, Williamson's willing to travel. Just how far would she go?
"I would go across the world," she says. "I have yet to go to Asia, which is embarrassing to me because Asian food is my favorite food to eat. I am dying to go to Japan and eat phenomenal sushi."
What did you have for dinner last night?
"I had tomato soup out of the box. I went to Trader Joe's. I was out of milk for my son. I had the organic tomato soup and the bag of Ruggedly Adventurous Cowboy Bark."
What is always in your refrigerator?
"Peanut butter, sparkling water, almond milk, yogurt and carrots."
What do you hate to cook?
"Artichokes. They are my favorite vegetable on the planet to eat, and I hate cooking them."
What is the best thing you make?
"Braises and stews are my thing. I love making braised chicken and braised short ribs and beef cheeks."

1945-S Half Dollar, MS631945-S 50C Walking Liberty Half -- Struck on an El Salvador 25 Centavo Planchet -- MS63 NGC. Large S. According to the Whitman reference 100 Greatest U.S. Error Coins, the Walking Liberty half "is the second-scarcest series for major mint-error coins" with "only two known that are struck on foreign planchets." The other such piece, a 1943-S half on a Peruvian half sol, is offered elsewhere in the present auction as part of the Geyer Family Collection. The U.S. struck 25 centavos for El Salvador dated 1943 and 1944 (KM-136), and apparently a planchet lodged in a hopper and ended up struck sometime later between half dollar dies. Fortunately, its unusual appearance caused it to be set aside prior to circulation. Lustrous with a hint of tan toning and one small dig (likely made prior to leaving the mint) above the I in LIBERTY. Most of the date and mintmark are clear. The rims and portions of the centers are lightly brought up. Photographed on page 208 of Mike Byers' World's Greatest Mint Errors.

Editor's NoteLEGENDS OF THE FALL: Director Edward Zwick's epic romance, set against the backdrop of WWI and the wide sky and rugged terrain of Montana, stars Anthony Hopkins as William Ludlow, an idealistic retired colonel who disapproves of the war and the army's indecent treatment of Native Americans. Abandoned by his blue-blooded wife, Ludlow raises his three sons in the remote foothills of Montana with the help of Native American friends. Before the war, Samuel (Henry Thomas) brings home his fiancée from the East Coast, Susannah (Julia Ormond), a stunning beauty who can ride, rope, and hunt like the Ludlow boys. When the war breaks out, Samuel, the youngest and most idealistic son, enlists in the army. Brothers Alfred (Aidan Quinn) and Tristan (Brad Pitt) follow suit, more as protectors than as cohorts. Despite their best efforts, however, Samuel dies in battle. Upon returning home, Tristan becomes involved with Susannah, who is devastated by her loss but profoundly attracted to the brooding brother. However, tormented by his inability to save his little brother's life, Tristan abandons her and sets out on a long journey of self-discovery. During his absence, Alfred reveals his own passion for Susannah. Although she does not reciprocate his feelings, Susannah--who has despaired of ever seeing Tristan again--agrees to become his wife. Ultimately, Tristan does return, setting off a dangerous conflict between the brothers. A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT: Fly-fishing figures prominently in this poignant tale of two brothers growing up in Montana in the early 20th century under the stern rule of their minister father. While both boys rebel, Norman (Craig Sheffer) channels his rebellion into writing, but Paul (Brad Pitt) descends onto a slippery path of self-destruction. The beautiful scenery of Montana is used to full effect with the awesome cinematography of Philippe Rousselot. Directed by Robert Redford, this adaptation of Norman Maclean's classic autobiography also features Tom Skerritt and Brenda Blethyn as the Reverend and Mrs. Maclean.DEVIL'S OWN: THE DEVIL'S OWN, Alan J. Pakula's last film, is a character-driven thriller that confronts suspense and gritty realism head-on. Harrison Ford plays Tom O'Meara, an Irish-American cop in New York who opens his home and family to Francis "Frankie" McGuire (Brad Pitt), whom they believe is a refuge-seeking immigrant from Belfast. They later discover that their visitor is an IRA rebel on a terrorist mission. Buoyed by tense, strong performances from both stars, the film is ultimately a tragedy that explores the unexpected friendship of two men of similar ethnic roots, yet of different places, times, and values, and the cruel and senseless cycle of violence they face.

Tales From the Table: NYCC 2012on October 18, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Overall it was an exciting time at the New York Comic Con. It got a little frustrating when tired con goers decided to rest and camp out right in front of our booth. But being there with the awesome Comic Book Diner crew of John Gallagher, Rich Faber, Jamar Nicholas, Thom Zahler, and my brother Chris, it was nearly impossible NOT to enjoy the day.
I did a TON of art cards that I'll be adding to the flow on my Facebook fan club page. Some very interesting requests came from my good friends at Unwinnable.com

Dancing With the Stars 2013: Peta Murgatroyd's Shocking DWTS Diet (PHOTOS)
Peta Murgatroyd was as scantily clad as ever on Dancing With the Stars Season 16 Week 3 (April 1), baring her totally flat belly in a tiny cropped outfit. She must be on that carrot and celery diet to achieve that amazing bod, right? Very wrong.
Taking to Twitter to show off her snack of champions, Peta posted a late-night photo of a hefty cheeseburger and a milkshake, and wrote, "This is happening right now... Oops." Attagirl!
And that wasn't the only cheese Peta encountered that night. Hours before all of that meaty goodness, Peta and Sean hit the dance floor for a super cheesy, but loveable YMCA performance.
Nonetheless, with those 7-9 hour a day workouts, we don't blame our girl Peta for chowing down!
Catch the next episode of Dancing With the Stars on Monday, April 1, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Was there ever really any doubt about this? Konami announced the voice cast for the PS3 exclusive (as far as I know) "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots." Among them is David Hayter (pictured) who's been voicing the character of Solid Snake, the series' hero. Also coming back are the folks who voiced Otacon, Raiden and Roy Campbell.
In addition to his voice stuff, Hayter's the writer who wrote the original screenplays for "X-Men" and "X2: X-Men United." Not too shabby. Here's the quote he gave for the press release:
I couldn't be more excited about this game. What I've seen of Metal Gear Solid 4 has absolutely blown me away. To bring the focus of the story back to Solid Snake, and to work with Kris Zimmerman and many of the amazing actors that provided iconic voices for the previous games, is like coming home, said David Hayter. I'm so proud and grateful to have been involved with Mr. Kojima as the voice of Snake, for nearly a decade, on this legendary video game series. This game is going to plunge players into the ultimate Metal Gear experience. And personally, I can't wait to play it.

High fives for Emma as favourite breezes to victory
Posted: June 21, 2012|
RUNNERS in the Cornwall Grand Prix Road Race Series, supported by Cornwall Glass and Glazing, made their way to the wild and windy village of Sticker on Saturday evening, for the Sticker 5 mile road race, sponsored by Hewaswater Garage.
As expected Emma Stepto (Cornwall AC) was a clear winner of the Ladies' race, with surprise package Dan Rodgers (Launceston Road Runners) finishing strongly over the hilly final mile, to record his first ever Grand Prix victory in the Men's event.
The Men's race soon developed into a three way tussle, with Rodgers joined by the Cornwall AC runners Justin Thomas and Colin Snook.
Thomas pushed the pace for the first half of the race, with Rodgers and Snook content to follow.
Thomas won the battle against Snook, his Cornwall AC training partner, followed by Mile High's Tony Brewer (4th), again finishing in the leading positions, ahead of two more Cornwall AC runners, first veteran finisher Steve Wherry (5th) and triathlete Ceri Whitmore (6th).
With four runners in the top six, Cornwall AC's Men's team cruised to victory in the team competition.
St Austell Running Club, with their six scoring runners in the top 29 places, comfortably won the runners-up prize, with Newquay Road Runners in third place.
The seventh place finisher was another Cornwall AC runner, the leading lady Emma Stepto, who won her fourth GP race of the year, this time by over two and a half minutes, with Isobel Wykes (Truro Running Club) comfortably clear in second place.
There was a real scrap for third position with Revis Crowle (East Cornwall Harriers) leading Heidi Cottam (Cornwall AC) into the final field, before the younger Cornwall runner mounted a spirited sprint for the line, edging out her more experienced rival, with both runners sharing the same time.
The Ladies team competition was also won by Cornwall AC, with the club's winning team equally divided by the more experienced runners and the young pretenders.
Race winner Emma, together with Donna Raggett (7th) and Karen Harrison (10th) provided the experience, with Heidi Cottam (3rd), Jenny Almey (8th) and the Under 20 winner Elisha Hurst (19th) providing the element of youth.
Hayle Runners packed well, finishing second, 32 points behind Cornwall, with an under strength Newquay Road Runners team a distant third.
Hayle Runners were again out in force with 57 members competing.
Jordan Morant continued his fantastic form by leading the team home in a time of 29.40 minutes, closely followed by Russell Turner.
The Hayle men's team were fourth overall and Jordan and Russell were supported by Scott Abraham, Richard Mayes, Matt Curtis and Simon Timms.
The club's female team had an even better result, coming second behind Cornwall AC.
Debbie Harrison was first woman home, followed by Fiona Ruetsch, Charlotte Bennett, Faye Toms, Lisa Maskell and Helen Rule.
There was string of individual trophies for the club. Lia Foreman was third woman under 20, Charlotte Bennett and Faye Toms first and second respectively in the 35-39 years age group, Debbie Harrison second female 40-44, Fiona Ruetsch second 45-49, Ann Senior second 55-59, Timothea Cardell first over 70.
For the men, Scott Abraham was third 40-44, Stewart Townend second 65-69 and Howard Haynes first over 75.
Hayle Women's captain Faye Toms said: "We had some really good results throughout the field with many of our runners achieving personal best for the course and others running for the first time.
"It was great to have such a good turnout and the team is in good spirits for the races in the next few weeks."

2001 Nissan Sentra Q&A
2001 Nissan Sentra Question: MIL Light on Code P0420
So, I know what the code is, but in order to get it repaired, I still needed to smog my car (knowing it will fail) with hopes that the test will tell me what needs to be fixed. I am in CA. Well, low and behold, my car passed all emissions, the Cat passed, everything except for the fact that the MIL is on. It will clear with the code clearing when hooked up to the OBDII, but within a few days comes back on. It first came on after a coil and plugs were replaced. Then it went off for a few days on its own before coming back on. Any clues as to what is causing the issue when all other functions are passing? BTW, I passed emission with flying colors (low numbers based on max allowed) - petersln
Answer 1
It's a catalyst efficiency code - and it's measured by the engine's processor. It's not seeing enough of a change from the pre-cat oxygen sensor's readings and the after-cat oxygen sensor's readings. Some manufacturers have processor reprogramming that can aid this reading, but it sounds like you may have had a true deterioration of the cat if you had plugs and coils at issue in the past. Having passed the smog numbers, at least, you can certainly try and hope for another alternative. Good luck. - DaveJHM

Tannoy Reveal 802 Monitors
Speaker firm enters the studio market
Tannoy's name is synonymous with speaker design but it is more readily associated with PA speakers and larger sonic installations than with active studio monitors. That may well be set to change now with the new Reveal range, which sports model numbers from the smallest/cheapest 402, through the mid-sized 502, to the flagship 802.
As its name and number suggest, the latter is the largest speaker in the range, featuring an 8-inch bass driver and a 1-inch tweeter, with a rubberised padded base incorporated to provide acoustic isolation and a more balanced bass end.
Around the back, you can connect balanced (3-pin) or unbalanced (1/4-inch) input sources, whilst Tannoy also supplies a mini-jack cable which can either be used as an input source in its own right or supply an auxiliary monitor link, allowing you to send an output from one Reveal to another - a useful way of connecting a portable music player or iPad via a single cable and distributing the output on to a second speaker. A blue LED indicates that the power is on and we're glad this is on the back panel as it's very bright!
Natural selections
"Alongside the volume input dial, there is also a rocker switch to select a natural frequency response"
Alongside the volume input dial, there is also a rocker switch to select a natural frequency response, or additional offset options to increase or decrease treble balance. This can be useful, as it'll help tailor the speaker's overall sound to the natural frequency response of your working space.
As ever, be careful that these options aren't simply engaged 'to taste'. If you're particularly partial to enhanced treble levels, don't simply activate this switch to satisfy those 'shiny needs', as it could end up leading to your mixes sounding too light at the top-end elsewhere.
The final option supplied on the rear panel is a proximity switch, which lets you adjust bass response depending on the distance of your speakers to walls behind them. Adjustments made, you're good to go. The full frequency response of the monitors is an impressive 42Hz to 43kHz, with the crossover frequency between the Low/Mid and High Frequency drivers at a sensible 1.8kHz.
Revealing the quality
In use, the standout quality of the 802s rushes to the fore with a punchy bass response with an extremely rounded tone. For the size and price, we were impressed by the consistency and weight of this bottom-end; these speakers really have been designed with low frequency clarity in mind.
More surprising yet equally pleasing is that the top-end is more discreet than we were expecting. Rather than rushing out to meet and impress you in an artificial way, the 802's treble end is a more sophisticated performer, providing more than adequate level without over-brightening sounds.
This makes prolonged mixing sessions on these speakers much more pleasurable, lessening the likelihood of ear fatigue. Stereo imaging is good too, with a wide listening sweet spot and a pleasing depth of field which will appeal to soundtrack writers and producers working on less beats-oriented music.
However, if solid and tight bass response is a key ingredient of the music you make, the Reveals are particularly worthy of a few minutes of your ears' critical listening. For Hip-Hop and EDM producers, you won't fail to be impressed by the reach and clarity of the lowest frequencies of your mixes on these speakers, without things getting messy.
With up to 100 Watts of power, it's especially pleasing to hear that they respond consistently between very quiet and loud monitoring levels too, so regardless of the volume at which you like to mix, you can be sure the nuances and subtleties you're putting into your mixes are being accurately replayed. Things just got a lot hotter in the mid-price active monitor department.
MusicRadar Rating
Tightly controlled, well-rounded bass. Treble response is pleasingly unflashy. Monitor link option provides easy amplification of portable music players.
Not much.
The established players in the mid-price active monitor market just got some serious competition.
