Hot Rod Frame Tutorial Part 2
Posted 25 March 2011 - 04:26 PM
Now get out your .010 styrene sheet. You need enough to cover the side rails completely…….see the example…these strips are about 30mm by 130mm to fully cover the sides. If you are crafty you can get the sides completely covered with minimal waste.
Now carefully glue the .010 styrene to one side of one of the rails. I coat the side rail with Tamiya Extra thin and then quickly place the rail on the sheet. Let it dry and trim the excess with a NEW SHARP #11 Xacto blade…….use the same process to "sandwich" both of the rails. When you are done it will look like this…..a nice smooth surface and a strong frame rail……NICE!!! Hint: trim ONE side at a time….NOT both….if you do both I will personally guarantee that you will gouge the frame rail……
By now you should be able to see pretty clearly where I am headed with all this fussing, cutting, sanding, gluing and fitting…….
SO….. let's see how we did on the original measurements……… SPOT ON!!!
Now you need to round off the front of the interior side rails. This is done to give the frame a finished look and blends into the front extension rails cleanly. ……be careful that you radius the side rails in two DIFFERENT directions so the finished rails come out symmetrical……You also need to add the front rails after you measure the length needed. Again, longer engines get longer rails……be sure to account for radiators and the front axle mounts as well. By the way the front rails are just bare .060 X .156 stock….no need to sandwich them as they will be plenty strong as is. Once you have done that you can glue on the front extension rails. Glue them on with a 10mm overlap….EXACTLY the same on both sides…..this is where one of your key cross members will attach…..botch this one and you have a "horizontally ZEED frame" …… NOT GOOD!!!! Note: longer transmissions, like automatics, may need a longer overlap to get the engine / transmission pair to sit correctly in the cowl area.
Mock up the engine to see how it looks…..OK so far…..as you can see the engine you use and the headers….(don't forget them) will dictate the width of the frame at this point. Everything else needs to accommodate that one element.
Still with me??? OK…now for the rear trim off. I want the rear frame to extend as far into the '32 as possible so I can rig up a mounting pad so…….I do this….
I keep a slight angle on the end to match the body panel…this may change later……I cut ONE rail and check the fit….if it is OK I do the other……It was pretty much spot on so I ended up with two perfect ends. One more time I checked the engine width and location and fit of the cowl area and I am ready for cross members………the cowl points measure out to 32mm across and the rails are now 2mm thick so my main cross member is 28mm…..I double checked the front extension rail width with the engine and it provides the required clearance……I cut the cross members (three of them) nice and square and 28mm long…….glue them in place and I get this……
I only did two cross members at this point – the transmission main and the upper deck member – this allows me to make adjustments later and maybe even change the rear end and engine combo. If the main member gets in the way I just section it out and build around it. One last check with the frame in the 32 body and……………
Here is a quick shot of what is possible….the frame on this 34 was built using this technique and I hung all the appliances you see on it…..
That's it for now….you need to hang your own appliances on this thing…..this should give you a good start on your own frame…..just work slowly and keep things square…..and remember the sandwich technique to strengthen the rails.
Have fun….

I personally swear by the "sandwich method" for rectangular frame rails. Nothing beats it for strength and appearance! Your explanations and illustrations are superb and should be of enormous help to many of us. In particular the "fit and measure" approach you illustrate so well, so that the results are customised for the actual bodywork and application your are doing, can't be stressed enough. Along those lines, here's a picture of the approach I use to create curved rails that fit exactly to the sides of the body shell. I clamp the side rails and then measure, fit and glue the main crossmembers in place with the clamps still in position.
Thanx again for an excellent and important how-to!

I've been planning to try this soon. I have a 29 sedan I want to make into a drag rod . Do you also Z the front?
Rob: I generally do not Z the front rails....I have had good luck working the front axle to provide a reasonable drop....one that would be driveable.... however, you can certainly Z the front.. I would suggest using a mild kick up or perhaps jsut a step up....

Thanks for taking the time for this informative tutorial. It takes all of the guess work out of scratch building a frame. I will put this to good use on an upcoming build. One question though. Is there a particular reason why you don't trim the end of the interior side rail to match the angle of the kickup like you did the rear side rail? I just think it would lend to looking a bit cleaner. Thanks again.
Hi Brad:
In the past I have left the end of the interior side rail square so I can hang a stabilizer on it for the rear end I use..... however, you can trim it and it will look very clean....to your point....Just do what works for you in this instance...... On a previous version I actually used some half springs from the 41 Willy's kit to spring the rear end and I used the square ends of the frame to anchor those springs with pins and nut bolt washer detail....so again....it's up to you on this one.

Dubner and Levitt have written some counterintuitive points about global warming. You may have heard that buying locally grown produce is better for the environment because the closer your food, the smaller the carbon footprint. But according to Dubner, buying locally sourced food doesn't necessarily cut down on greenhouse gases.
"If you do the numbers, you find that food that's imported from halfway across the world has a much smaller carbon footprint than locally grown food, because ... big farms are more efficient," he said. "Something like 85 percent of the energy that goes into producing food is in the production phase, not the transportation phase."
In fact, Dubner says we spend too much time worrying over what comes out of the back of our cars, and not enough on what comes out the back of some farm animals.
"If you really are worried about greenhouse gases, you should be worried about something like methane, which is about 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. And if you're really worried about methane, then you should really worry about, let's say, cows."
Cows and other ruminants, he says, release methane every time they exhale or pass gas. "So, if you drive a Prius to the grocery store and then you buy some hamburger meat, you're canceling it out 25 times over. You wanna eat more kangaroos," Dubner said.
Why kangaroos? Because they don't emit methane. (It's worth noting that while methane is more damaging as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, there is less of it in the atmosphere. Methane's overall climate impact is nearly half that of carbon dioxide.)

Virgin Comics Directors Cut line allows film directors to come up with their own, unique comic book properties, teaming the filmmakers alongside comic book pros.
So far its offerings have included titles by John Woo, Guy Ritchie, Shekhar Kapur, and now writer/director/actor Ed Burns.
Working with comic superstar Jimmy Palmiotti, Burns brings us Dock Walloper, a five-issue mini-series about New York in the 1920s. Burns and Palmiotti each sat down with IESB to talk about their involvement:
Ed Burns
IESB: Can you give us an overview of the storyline?
Burns: Basically well, synopses are always tough for the writer It is a hyper-realistic gangster story set against New York during prohibition and revolves around a man with no history and no ethnicity, John Smith, who rises the ranks from, basically, dock-side brawler to eventually king of the New York underworld.
IESB: Is this a story that you had in mind before teaming with Virgin Comics?
Burns: I had an idea for an epic set against prohibition in New York City. I had been doing a bunch of research on another script about Irish-American gangs at the turn of the century. Mainly a guy named Ownie Madden who was the head of the Irish crime syndicate through prohibition and then was eventually killed much later. He was kind of run out of business by the Italians. I had an idea for just a reality-based film on him. When I went into to Virgin to talk about possibly doing a comic book loosely based on that screenplay idea, once we got to talking, we decided to create fictional characters. Thats when I kind of came up with the John Smith idea and Ownie Madden became Mad Dog Madden. It doesnt really resemble Ownie Madden at all other than the fact that hes the number one crime boss in power at the time of the story.
IESB: Is there a lot of historical accuracy involved in telling the story?
Burns: No, in the very first outline there was but once it was suggested to me by Virgin to have some fun with what you can do with a comic book in terms of hyper-reality, the more we started to play I started to make the characters a little more fantastical than if I was doing a more realistic film.
IESB: Where you a comic book fan prior to getting involved in this project?
Burns: I was a comic book reader as a kid. I wouldnt say that, as an adult, I wasnt a fan but I wasnt a non-fan.
IESB: Was there anything in particular you looked at for inspiration?
Burns: Not really, other than seeing 300 and Sin City. Those were the two films that got me excited with what you could do with green screen and CGI. When I first sat down to think about the screenplay probably ten years ago, recreating New York City in the 20s seemed like an impossibility because recreating certain set pieces I was excited about recreating. The old Penn Station that had been torn down. The third avenue elevated train. Also, the west side docks back when New York was a massive shipping port. Those were three things that, regardless of budget, would have been impossible to recreate prior to CGI. Then when I saw the license you can have after seeing 300 and Sin City where they werent at all even concerned with it feeling realistic. It was a live-action comic book but it wasnt an animated feature film. Thats when I heard that Virgin was doing these comic books with filmmakers. I immediately called my agent. I wanted to have a meeting.
IESB: Would you ever want to turn Dock Walloper into a film?
Burns: That is our intention. The outline that I gave Virgin was my outline for a screenplay. Then Jimmy [Palmiotti] helped me break it down. A screenplay tends to be a three-act structure. They helped me break it down into the five-act that you have for each of the five issues. Also, within each book, there are certain plots you have to hit. Jimmy helped me restructure my design to fit this model. Our intention is, when the graphic novel is published in March, to take that along with my original screenplay outline into studios and try and get the film made.
IESB: Is this a one-time thing for you or do you think youll be writing more comics in the future?
Burns: Ive fallen absolutely in love with this. We have two other ideas that were going to pitch to Virgin in March when this one is done. Ones kind of a prequel to Dock Walloper and ones a stand-alone more contemporary piece.
IESB: When ideas enter your head now, are you always considering if they would work better as screenplays or better as comics?
Burns: Yeah. Just because comics free you up. I think for me, especially, Ive written so many character-driven talk-fest indie movies. To sit down and write a screenplay, by habit I tend to slip into that type of screenplay writing. But once I started to work on a comic book because Im not writing the dialogue, Jimmy is that freed me up to just think about story and bigger stories and bigger plot turns and twists and things like that. A character piece is always going to be about the littler things that are said and unsaid whereas in these kinds of stories its about the bigger, heroic gestures. Thats new for me and its almost as if Ive kind of rediscovered the joy of storytelling in a way.
IESB: Did you sit down with the artist to, together, work out the look for the comic?
Burns: I didnt sit down with him. I went through Im a little bit of a New York history buff I went through all my New York City photographs and we scanned a bunch of images from the time period. Everything from the certain looks of characters to wardrobe to set pieces like I mentioned. The look of maybe what the nightclubs should look like. That kind of thing.
IESB: What do you have coming up, film-wise?
Burns: Were trying to get and hopefully it will happen Im trying to get this film called Rainy Dog which is remake of a Japanese film about a hitman in New York who is reacquainted with a ten year-old son that he never knew he had.
IESB: Would you be acting in that as well?
Burns: A small role. I play the cop who is pursuing him. But were still in that delicate time where were trying to get a specific actor to do the role and all our money hinges on his answer.
Jimmy Palmiotti
IESB: When you look at this project, what do you feel its really about?
Palmiotti: Its a buddy story. Its about two guys in New York in the 20s during prohibition and how theyre pretty much just regular schmoes. Regular New Yorkers trying to get by. Trying to get some dock work. Trying to get to the next day and basically its the story of how they get wrapped up in a world bigger than them and shoved around between an Irish gang and they deal with the Italians. This is actual stuff that was going on in the 20s. These two characters, at first, just get involved and then they actually become players in this world. So its very much a rags-to-riches kind of buddy story with a really colorful backdrop.
IESB: How did you become involved?
Palmiotti: Virgin Comics was talking to Ed Burns about the project and they thought it would be a good thing because he hadnt really read comics since he was a kid and they thought it would be kind of a cool thing to pair up a comic book writer with Ed who is a writer/director. I happened to get picked for it and Ed liked my work. They gave him a couple of books I had worked on called The Monolith and some other stuff. Ed really liked it and we kind of got together and met and we clicked. We got along like old friends. Ed had pretty much everything laid out like he wanted to see it and at the time of our meeting we changed a lot of stuff and took it to a bigger scale. Again, it was a learning process for both of us to work together. I got lucky, basically. For me, its a real gift to be able to work with Ed, the real ground-breaking filmmaker and writer, that he is. Its a real cool gig for me. For him, its probably like hes just stuck with this schmuck who writes comic books and he has to deal with it. But for me, it was pretty damn exciting.
IESB: As a writer, youre all over the map with different comic book companies. What brought you to Virgin?
Palmiotti: I read a lot of their books and Ive been keeping track of what they do. This whole thing with working with Virgin, though, was all about the opportunity of working with Ed. I kind of like writing genre stuff. Superhero genre is how I make my bread and butter but any opportunity I have to write something like Jonah Hex or Painkiller Jane antiheroes I kind of jump at because I like the variety of what we do. The actual challenge of writing stories set in history is very exciting for me. I do like the research and I do fall in love with every era that I get wrapped up in. Every story I do in a different time and place I tend to research to the point of exhaustion. But its a happy kind of job for me to do.
IESB: So were not going to see you signing an exclusive deal with one company?
Palmiotti: Actually, I have exclusive with DC for the next eight months. But part of my exclusive is that there are certain projects Ill be able to do. Like Painkiller Jane. Because I co-created it, I get to do Jane. With Virgin Comics, working with Ed, I presented it to them as an opportunity to work on something I wouldnt ordinarily get to and they were totally cool. They understood that it was something I really wanted to do and as long as I got my work in and fulfilled my commitments, they were very flexible and I gotta say, more power to them for being that cool about it.
IESB: Youve got a number of monthly books youre doing right now. Is there anything youd like to move into?
Palmiotti: We have Jonah Hex monthly and thats a western and we have Freedom Fighters which is basically the most political comic out there right now featuring Uncle Sam. Probably a super-hero book. A straight, hard-core superhero book. Recently we got the rights to which is out in trade right now a Friday the 13th book. Theres so much out there. Science fiction. Id love to do a romance comic but make it really crazy. I only have one life. Ive gotta try everything. Maybe Ill get a little better. The opportunities are there so I try my best to grab them and go for it.
IESB: Ed talked about Dock Walloper one day becoming a film. Is that something youd like to be involved with directly?
Palmiotti: Oh my God, yes. It comes down to Ed. Eds the voice on that. Anything hed want me for if he was going to do that. Id even hold the microphone and be best boy if he was going to do that. Ive sat on a bunch of peoples productions. John Singletons a good buddy. Ive sat in on maybe two episodes of Painkiller Jane. Its something Im fascinated with. How can you work in comics and not be fascinated with film? I dont understand how you can not be. Its another way of getting a story across. If and when Ed makes this into a movie I sure do hope Im somehow involved. Hes a really great guy. The more I get to know him, the more I like him. Well see. Theres no promises or anything set in the contract or anything like that. It comes down to how important it is if he needs me. Ill carry his luggage. I dont care.
IESB: Do you ever look at some comics and think theyd make great movies but then look at others and think that they should never be movies that they belong as just comics?
Palmiotti: Oh, yeah. Some things dont translate well. Then there are the things that are made into movies where Ive said, Why did they mess that up? Some things dont translate. With CGI and green screen, its getting easier to get closer to the mark but also, at the same time, I feel that sometimes they make a movie and they get the comic property and do the complete opposite of what its about. They screw up. In my own experience, Painkiller Jane was not the comic. It was 22 episodes of something that wasnt my comic. Although I love everyone on the set and theyre all great people, I felt that they didnt stay true to property and it hurt them. It didnt get a second season. Its not the actors fault. It just comes down to the writing and what works and what doesnt. Its just amazing to me how they buy things and once they get it, they change it. I always ask, Why did you buy it? Thats like saying, Im gonna buy a blue couch and when I get home, Im gonna paint it orange. I dont understand it, but its a learning process. I think that comic book movies are getting better. The Iron Man trailer looks amazing. Like, The Punisher. The good stuff are the parts from [Garth Ennis] Welcome Back, Frank. The bad parts are everything they added. You look at Elektra or you try not to look at it because, dear God, one of my favorite comic book stories ever, I cant even watch. If they stayed true to the comic, it would have been knocked out of the park
WOW. Some exciting stuff!
I was about to say thomas jane wrote a book lol.
Oh Gawd... I've never been a fan of Burns. His acting is weak, his writing and directing is weak... I just don't see what the big deal is about this guy. The Brothers McMullen was a piece of shit. Now he's going to take a stab at comics because nobody wants him doing more films...
Well, my hats off to you, Ed. Can't wait to see what medium you'll latch onto once nobody accepts you for a second time. Maybe he'll write sardonic children books about a polar bear who has to choose between two hot polar bears. Pretty exciting stuff.

BMC Health Services Research 2010, 10:274 doi:10.1186/1472-6963-10-274Published: 21 September 2010
Home healthcare services are important in aging societies worldwide. The present nationwide study of health insurance data examined the utilization and delivery patterns, including diagnostic indications, for home healthcare services used by seniors in Taiwan.
Patients ≥65 years of age who received home healthcare services during 2004 under the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Program were identified and reimbursement claims were analyzed. Age, gender, disease diagnoses, distribution of facilities providing home healthcare services, and patterns of professional visits, including physician and skilled nursing visits, were also explored.
Among 2,104,978 beneficiaries ≥65 years of age, 19,483 (0.9%) patients received 127,753 home healthcare visits during 2004 with a mean number of 6.0 ± 4.8 visits per person. The highest prevalence of home healthcare services was in the 75-84 year age group in both sexes. Females received more home healthcare services than males in all age groups. Cerebrovascular disease was the most frequent diagnosis in these patients (50.7%). More than half of home healthcare visits and around half of the professional home visits were provided by community home nursing care institutions. The majority of the home skilled nursing services were tube replacements, including nasogastric tubes, Foley catheter, tracheostomy, nephrostomy or cystostomy tubes (95%).
Nine out of 1,000 older patients in Taiwan received home healthcare services during 2004, which was much lower than the rate of disabled older people in Taiwan. Females used home healthcare services more frequently than males and the majority of skilled nursing services were tube replacements. The rate of tube replacement of home healthcare patients in Taiwan deserves to be paid more attention.

I am a "LONG STANDING" client. I purchased this arrangement, transposed to F major. I "THOUGHT" it would include a "SEPARATE" solo part, that would also be in F Major. To my surprise, and dismay, there is "NO SEPARATE SOLO PART"! What kind of "NONSENSE" is this? The whole purpose of purchasing a "Solo & Accomp" setting of "ANYTHING" is to be able to perform it as "Solo & Accomp"! Totally unprofessional of them to have me purchase this and not get a solo part!!!

The Rosco Image Pro GOBO Slide Projector not only has a "wow" factor, but is certainly a one-of-a-kind invention by Rosco, a leader in the field of audio-visual lighting and filtration. The Image Pro is an ingenious way to create and project a slide on to a background.
The ImagePro projects an image created from a simple plastic slide. Attach an iPro Slide cartridge to the back plate of the ImagePro and insert it into the iris slot of any one of several common luminaires. Then simply turn on the light to project anything from a dazzling full color panorama to a corporate logo, or even a last minute custom gobo texture.
With a form factor similar to the Rosco Gobo Rotator, the ImagePro is both elegant and simple in its engineering. Using three different systems; cooling airflow, infrared reflection, and thermal barriers - the slide is well protected from the extreme heat of the luminaire. Unique toolings on the backplate allow the ImagePro to fit snugly into the four most common luminaires: the Altman Shakespeare, ETC Source Four, Selecon Pacific and Strand SL.
Think of it - your company gets hired to light a corporate trade show and need a logo to "splash" over the floor or backdrop. Or, you want an impressive nighttime image of his corporate headquarters illuminating the back wall of his booth. Using Rosco's IPRo Slide Service, your custom ISlide will be prepared and ready for projection in its cartridge in 24 hours.
With more than 25 years of lighting experience for both pro and amateur needs, Rosco has designed a "library of images" to accompany the Image Pro. With more than 400 designs in 14 categories, there is something for everyone. And, your IPro slide can be prepared in about 24 hours.
Note: The ImagePro should not be used on a Source Four 750; Damage to the luminaire's reflector may result; Not for use with Selecon VNR 5-deg lens
- With this item, anything becomes projectable - from a personal slide of an unusual scene to a corporate logo
- IPro Slides can be made of virtually any image you can create on a computer; Print any image using an ink-jet printer
- Cost effective solution for logos, event marketing, and theatrical projections
- Slides project with incredibly sharp, photographic resolution
- Printed on a high temperature plastic base using conventional printing technologies, the iPro slide can project high quality images in full color and photographic detail previously available only through advanced projection systems like PANI or from expensive glass gobos
- Use low cost, bright theatrical lekos as your projector
- Will last from 15-50 hours with no fading or degradation
- Using the optional IPro Slide kit, you can create your own images from your own artwork 1
- Order a standard image from the iPro Slide Library found on the website or the CD-ROM that comes with your ImagePro
- Since the temperature at the gate is reduced when the lamp is dimmed, plug your ImagePro into the same dimmer as the light fixture; Then as the lamp dims, the fan speed is reduced proportionally
- Theatrical projections - scenic elements, slide projections, lighting effects; especially suited for situations where budget is a primary concern
- Trade Show/Industrials - corporate logos, museum signage, exhibit identification, changeable backgrounds; use in situations that require temporary projections
- Film and Television - backings, special FX compositions, multi-colored cookies; iPro slides give a Gaffer tremendous flexibility

Hi there, wich model of earphones are you talking about?
I have lost my earphones that came with the iPhone 4 and I want to buy the original, but I have a doubt about this two models:
MB770G/B and MA814LL/A
Wich is the original? Does any of these works better than the other one?
- Answered by Diego G
Yep they do and yes it does :-)
- Answered by Dean S from Chesterfield
"The remote and mic are supported only by iPod nano (4th and 5th generation), iPod classic (120GB/160GB), iPod touch (2nd generation), iPhone 3GS and iPad. The remote is supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation). Audio is supported by all iPod models."
This appears that it is not compatible with iPhone 4.
- Answered by Dana M from Lexington
I have these earphones and an iPhone 4. The output audio works but no VC, no pause, and no mic. Of course this is contrary to the compatibility information on the store page.
This is also the second pair I have had. Some problems with these. One side eventually goes bad. Sounds like a cracked speaker that rattles.

Great holiday location for outdoor activities but not much around for entertainment otherwise
see below
Stayed in a deluxe lodge which had everything you could possibly need for a self-catering holiday including washing machine and dishwasher. The lodge was spotlessly clean and the outdoor hottub was the icing on the cake. Would have no hesitation in recommending to others.
Our first experience of a lodge holiday was at Kippford Holiday Park in November. The park was beautiful and the lodge and hot tub were spacious and luxurious.
Your prices at Blairgowrie are roughly the same as Kippford but the lodges are half the size as is the hot tub. The location is in the middle of a council housing estate and doesn't have the same feel as other parks.
The hot tub maintenance team were intrusive, at Kippford we didn't see or hear anyone but we had the same level of service.
For the price we paid I expected luxury and at best got standard accomodation and service
Ideal place to stay and explore Scotland
Was a really lovely time away. Quaint little village with lots to do, really nice surroundings.
The staff kept meeting on our porch for some reason and the guys maintaining the hot tub were round every hour or two to do tests, we had to get out for them to add chemicals then wait half an hour to get back in then they. Quite inconvenient.
Lovely sarroundings, 15 min walk to town with a good whetherspoons pub, nice walk along river river ericht,
Beautiful caravan and very clean and comfy.
A warm cosy lodge in a beautifully landscaped park. We did have some minor issues - such as finding the lodge from the site map, which was quite inaccurate - and the insistence on providing a credit card number on arriva outsidel in the dark and cold, when we could have sorted it out next morning in the office. However the stay itself was perfect.
We were only in the caravan for a short time till we were upgraded to a Rowan Lodge. But the caravan was rated as above.
Can't emphasise enough how helpful, approachable and nice all the staff where. Nothing was too much for them.
My wife and I both enjoy lodge holidays in peaceful surroundings and Blairgowrie fits the bill perfectly for us. There is also plenty to do in the area within short driving distances, and lovely walking areas in the immediate vicinity as well. We both like the town of Blairgowrie very much, and we always make sure to visit both it and Perth when we are there. We have been to this park on numerous occasions now and it is still our first choice for a holiday destination.
Cabin couldn't be faulted good location clean and tidy hot tub was awesome and well looked after by staff through out our stay will definetley be back
Gorgeous caravan
Holiday was great with the girls to celebrate my 30th Birthday. Although neighbours had complained about being 8 of us when there was only 7 of us with one of the girls going back home to Perth early hours in the morning after our night out. Also advised that we were smoking in lodge which was untrue as we were outside. Very poor lighting in area very dark.

Hi everyone! first time here. I have a Traxxas ford raptor, I love it but its just lacking power for me. So.
I have decided to go brushless sometime. The velineon 3500 and vxl 3 would be best? Since I am reasonably new to RC are there any other things I will need to upgrade because of more speed?
Also I will be towing an RC boat most of the time, so if someone could recommend good gearing for that, that would be great!

bogdan informed us about his latest post on electrobob.com. It's about a level translator for WS2812 LEDs. He writes:
WS2812 LEDs are one of my favourite toys. Apart from all the things that you can do with them in terms of lighting, displays or even light painting you can also use them for your projects as indicator lights.
The great advantage comes from the fact that you can use a single pin to drive so many of them and it takes just 3 wires ran across the whole box for practically any number. This in turn comes with the disadvantage of more complex control and problems driving them (5V devices) from a 3.3V microcontroller.

Ralph shared his auto-reset feature of his Arduino board. He writes:
Various versions of the Arduino will reset the board by toggling the serial DTR line, a feature called auto-reset. Since it relies on the DTR line, it won't work with TTL serial adapters that don't break out the DTR line. After writing my half-duplex serial UART, I thought of using the TTL serial break signal which holds the line at 0V for several ms. Normal serial communications would also send 0V, but at 57.6kbps, it would never last more than 160us before returning to the idle high voltage state. So what I needed was a circuit would not reset when the line is low for 160us, but would reset when the line is low for 100ms or more.

asidorenk @ obddiag.net pointed us to this great little USB to Serial board:
This USB to serial (TTL) converter project is easy to build, it is simple and inexpensive. It is based on the PL2303SA USB to USART bridge from Prolific. The PL2303SA chip is not required an external crystal as the internal clock oscillator is continuously tuning up to USB bus frequency. Having chip in SO-8 packaging does not require special soldering skills to assemble the project. Please note: the TX and RX signal levels are 3.3 Volts.

This morning I decided its about time I learn how to use the UART hardware in most PIC microcontrollers. I started off with a USB-RS-232 converter that I got for US$3 from DealExtreme. There are a few reasons why I used a converter, firstly being because my main PC no longer has an RS-232 port since its old tech, but also because I thought it'd be alot neater for my projects to have a USB connection and it means I can interface with TTL signal levels (0-5v) instead of the RS-232 standards -12v – +12v which would have added complications, but we'll get back to that just now…

The last project I built, the Masochist's Video Card reminded me of how fun pure TTL digital design can be and since the 7400 contest seems to be allowing multiple entries, I figured why not build something else?
The accelerometer is an interesting sensor that is now extremely tiny thanks to MEMS technology. Specifically, the accelerometer senses gravity, and since earth has a constant 1 g-force always pulling toward the center, we can use that reference to find the tilt of any object. With some digital design and LEDs added to the mix we can even build a tilt sensor as I will show you in this article.

Easter Shadowbox featuring Cottage Cutz diesTuesday, March 31st, 2015
Today I want to share a fun Easter decoration — a cute little shadow box that features a Cottage Cutz die, Miss Lily Garden Bunny. Here's a photo:
This was like most projects, it started with a die. A number of the Cottage Cutz dies are like this one in that they contain pretty much everything you need for a project on a 3.75″ x 3.75″ surface. Miss Lily Garden Bunny makes an adorable card, but for this project I wanted something a little more. I found the cute shadow box on one of my frequent craft store visits (yes, I am a craft-a-holic), and I knew that it was just perfect for a little Easter display. I thought maybe I would put some little bunnies or chicks in the boxes below the main display, but when I found the flowers I knew they would be much more appropriate. (Much cheaper too, they're from a dollar bin!)
I like to do little holiday displays in my home, but storage is always a problem. I decided to make this little Easter display so that it can be removed from the shadow box and another holiday or special occasion can be substituted. That way I'm only working with one shadow box, but an endless number of holiday displays. It is very easy to do that. First I cut a piece of poster board the size of the largest opening. This will provide some stability for my Easter decorations. I also cut a piece of the coral/ivory polka dot cardstock (Graphic 45, of course) the same size. I used my Angel Craft tape to attach the two together. The poster board gives a little more stability to the cardstock and makes it a little easier to decorate and move in/out of the frame (see the video for more details);.
To get the pieces that I needed to assemble the shadow box scene, I needed to cut a number of colors using the Cottage Cutz die. With everything on one die, you have the choice of cutting all of the pieces out of each color (but then do you have a use for a purple bunny?), or you can use scraps of cardstock and try to just cut only the pieces that you need from that particular color. I used a mix of both methods for my display. For example, I cut the greens twice using the entire die; the bunny, was cut from a scrap of brown paper laid just over the bunny portion of the die. There is no right or wrong answer on this — just do what makes sense. I cut the "Happy Easter" word from ivory cardstock using my Sizzix Big Shot. I used two of the new Tim Holtz Distress ink pads to add a little color to the words (sponged the colors on with a small craft marshmallow). Here's a close-up of the words —
Assembly of the scene was super easy. Again, to make this a removable display, I was working just on the cardstock. I began with the main pieces (the sentiment and the bunny) and placed them appropriately on the polka dot cardstock. I added greens and flowers, as needed and the scene came to life. Note that I determined placement of everything before I started to attach it in place. I also added little bits of chalk or ink to enhance the flowers and the bunny, etc. This should also be completed before the pieces are attached.
When everything was ready, I began attaching items. The bunny can be attached early on (use a low dimensional adhesive to pop it), but the "Happy Easter" needs to wait until the flowers/greens behind are glued in place. It is a very easy process — just lift the pieces one at a time, add the glue (mostly just at the base of the piece to allow some dimension to occur) and set in place. When everything else is set, add the "Happy Easter" using low dimensional adhesive. Here's a close-up of my little Easter scene —
This was a quick and easy project. I love how it turned out! I added the scene and the flowers to the using Scotch removable double-sided tape. Please take a look at the short video for more information on how I kept my shadow box reuseable.
Cottage Cutz dies are a lot of fun, and are easy to use. Be sure to check out the full selection on the Cut @ Home site. Also remember that Cottage Cutz makes a "Universal Shim Plate" that assists in cutting some of their more intricate dies (I didn't need it for this one, but have needed it for others).

Carlos Quentin scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning when he knocked the ball out of catcher Josh Thole's glove, and the San Diego Padres denied R.A. Dickey his 15th victory with a 3-1 win over the New York Mets on Friday night. Clayton Richard (8-11) limited New York to one run and eight hits in seven-plus innings. Dickey (14-3) held the Padres to one run and one hit through six innings before San Diego got to the knuckleballer in the seventh, scoring two runs in the inning - one earned. The Padres managed only four hits but won for the second time in seven games. Huston Street got the final four outs for his 18th save in as many chances. New York, which had won four of five, is 5-4 on its season-high, 11-game West Coast trip.

I am working on a group purchase of these products for APUGers living in the US to reduce the costs of bringing them across the pond. I will handle the ordering, receiving and distribution in the US. The plan is to collect one half as a deposit with the balance due when I receive the products prior to the US distribution. Not sure when the order will be placed and the timing will probably depend on the interest level. I just finished up a darkroom workshop with Les McLean and I am anxious to get one. Please let know if you are interested via PM and I will keep everyone updated with regard to the timing. There is always the possibility that there will not be enough interest so I will not collect any deposits until the interest level warrants it.
I am also going to work on getting the "Hocus Focus" device which is a very simple yet effective focusing device used when printing.

Black Window Bug (Solutions and the way Nvidia is handling it)
View Single Post
Registered User
Join Date: Mar 2007

Re: Black Window Bug (Solutions and the way Nvidia is handling it)
The official workaround is not to use the composite extension at all.
The unofficial workaround (for Beryl) is this:
Originally posted by
So to make a resume after your really valuable feedback kriko and all of you guys:
The suggestion finally is:
With driver 9755 and older or 9631 legacy(no info about 7185)or betas 100(03,06) under hood...
First in your xorg.conf you should have the following options in order to run beryl best:
Under "ServerLayout" section:
Option "AIGLX" "true"->(Maybe it does nothing but give it a try! If you don't notice any difference remove it! )
Under "Screen" section:
Option "NvAGP" "0" -> (terryxela's suggestion FOR PCI Express CARDS ONLY!!!!)
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" ->(For betas 100 drivers this one is not necessary)
Option "DamageEvents" "True" ->(Jupiter1tx suggestion really helps a lot!!)
Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
Option "BackingStore" "True" ->See NOTE below...
NOTE: Use BackingStore option with CAUTION it may NOT work on all systems especially 6 series Geforce cards!!! (freezes when load beryl-manager as kriko said and other strange stuff, too low performance) but give it a try cause it helps performance when works properly otherwise PLEASE REMOVE IT!! If you get any kind of strange stuff with the settings remove this option and try again!!
Under "Extensions" section:
Option "DAMAGE" "Enable"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
Option "RENDER" "Enable"
See my xorg.conf too!!
If you have an AGP card add the following options in your modprobe.conf.local or any name this file has in your distro:
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 NVreg_EnableBrightnessControl=1 NVreg_DevicesConnected=1 NVreg_VbiosFromROM=1 NVreg_SaveVBios=1 NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_VideoMemoryTypeOverride=0 NVreg_NvAGP=3 NVreg_ReqAGPRate=8->(8=for 8X AGP, 4=for 4X AGP)
Also try to use kernel's agpgart module(NvAGP=2 or 3) instead of internal nvidia agp if possible.
If you have a PCI express card here are the options for you:
options nvidia NVreg_VideoMemoryTypeOverride=0 NVreg_NvAGP=0 NVreg_ReqAGPRate=0 NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_DevicesConnected=1 NVreg_VbiosFromROM=1 NVreg_SaveVBios=1 NVreg_EnableBrightnessControl=1
Second after rebooting or just logout->login(to reload the driver):
In Beryl's Advanced Options use the following setup:
"Texture from Pixmap" "Don't Use COW or Automatic" "force AIGLX" "XGL binding" "Indirect rendering or Automatic"
For beta 100 drivers if you upgrade to one of them and have beryl-manager settings pre-setted from the previous driver as mentioned above you may face the bug!!
Just switch from "force AIGLX"(all the others leave them as above) to "force Nvidia" and then back to "force AIGLX" and everything would be as with 9755 driver.
If you are using KDE and have beryl starting automatically with the 2 links(the first straight to beryl and the second to beryl-manager at /home/****/.kde/Autostart/ folder) do the following:
PLEASE REMOVE THE ONE WHICH SHOWS STRAIGHT TO BERYL AND LEAVE THE ONE THAT LINKS TO BERYL-MANAGER!!! Cause if beryl.bin is loaded first you WILL face the bug cause it autodetects nVidia mode NOT AIGLX!!! and so it does not load our settings!! Beryl-manager is enough to load beryl automatically and with our settings on!!
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE!!: (kriko's founding)
Custom kernels maybe can cause serious problems to beryl!!! Lagging, too slow or even freezes!! Be careful with those stuff for more info look here:

Aerith woke up. She couldn't remember falling asleep, so perplexity furrowed along her brow. Tired greens took in the ruined room. Mateus was nowhere to be seen. The embrace and conversation they had shared couldn't have been a dream. The pain was small now, but still throbbed in her abdomen. He must've left for something or other - Chaos business, or whatever you'd call it. He had to keep up appearances, as she did. If any of their allies found out about this thing they shared... No, she wouldn't think of the consequences. There was nothing shameful about it.
Sitting up should've been an Olympic sport. A deep groan accompanied every small movement, and even still once she was sitting properly. She felt heavy, that same underwater feel cascading over her. A moment was taken. With a couple deep breaths, the last being held, she finally pulled herself to her feet. Legs felt like jelly, so she opted to taking baby steps. Slowly, she moved out of the room, hand to the wall as both guide and walking aide. Little by little, she made it to the throne room where Firion was last seen. There was only evidence of that horrifying fight left. No person was waiting for her.
With a frown, she ascended along the ramp, boots skidding against red carpet. With a sharp gasp, she found herself against the throne. A glance behind told her the rug had come somewhat loose and decided to trip her. At least she didn't hit the ground.
Eyes closed, gravity was allowed to pull her down. She rested in the throne, arms splayed across one of the armrests, head resting upon them. It was troublesome to move the small distance she had.
Time sped away from her. She didn't know how long she had been sitting in that throne, wondering how Firion was doing;If he was even alive. What of Mateus? Would he be back soon? It was lonely without him. She didn't like this time alone. It gave her reason to think over everything that had happened and what might occur. It was frightening and something she didn't want to face until it smacked her. For now, why couldn't she just live in the present? Happy with her enemy.
A sigh escaped pink lips and she sat up. Slowly, knees were drawn to her chest. Her wound stung just a little bit from the small action, but it wasn't enough to persuade her to choose a differen't pose. Images tugged at the back of her head, ones she hardly recognized. Head leaned back against the throne, and then found itself on top of her knees.
She tasted blood.
Lips parted, a hot stream sliding out the corner of her mouth. As she fell back, arms collected her, holding her near. She could hear voices, but words weren't very clear. Her vision was going, but she could make out the slender neck of her Emperor. The very weight of his wordless voice crushed her heart. Heartbreak, anger, and confusion.
It was hard to breathe, air coming and going in shallow huffs. Still, she was held closer, crushed into his strong chest. Everything felt so distant. She couldn't hear his voice now. The only thing constant was his scent. Some sort of incense coated every strand of gold hair. Strength losing her, a single word and image stood out in her mind's eye, Gardenia...
Gasping sharply, Aerith's eyes snapped open. She looked up, around, and forward. Still, she was alone. Had she been asleep? What a horrible nightmare.
Looking to the source, Mateus stood in the exact center of the doorway. Immediately, she relaxed, breathing a soft, "Mateus..." With a bit more strength, she swiftly added, "I didn't see you when I woke up. I thought I'd try walking but I got tired."
Careful heeled clicks carried him to where she sat, nestled in that throne and looking far smaller than she was. He didn't say anything, but the concern was obvious behind his usually collected countenance. Long fingers ran through her hair. Her eyes squinted, then closed. She relaxed heavily under his ministrations, allowing him every access to her head.
"Where did... you go?"
"I was summoned to Chaos' throne. T'was nothing of import." He certainly said that quickly. Aerith sat up and gave him a look, expecting more. He looked away, fingers relinquishing their hold on chestnut locks. "We should leave this place. We've lingered too long."
A knot formed in her stomach. Taking his outstretched hand, she got to her feet. "You're not telling me something important." He didn't say a word.
With his help, they left the Chaos Shrine behind them. All the while, Aerith tried putting the pieces together. What had happened was probably the consequences she hadn't wanted to worry about. Because of Kefka's death, Mateus was now in hot water. Killing a fellow warrior didn't sit well with Chaos. Now, they were on the run, to protect himself and her. What she didn't know was they were running to solely protect her.
