This article is very in making a portable battery charger for mobiles but as the source of charging i want to use another li-lion batteries(like the that are in laptop battery) so how can i use that as that are also of 3.7v and can u please tell their Ah ratings as i couldn't find it on the batteriesReplyDeleteReplies
Laptop batteries may differ with their ratings depending upon the specs.Delete
However the ratings are very high than a cell phone battery, so can be ideally used for charging a cell phone via the circuit shown here:
Plzz can you help me, I need to do this circuit!! I want to order the IC and the transistors q1 and q2, what is the exact code of this IC?Delete
Thank you:)
and if I couldnt find this specific IC is there any other alternative?
LM3622 is the exact code of the IC.Delete
There's no other alternative, you may try this circuit though:
Ok thanks :)so the LM3622-4.21 is good for this circuit?Delete
one question more plz, did you simulate this circuit using PSpice?
I mean, are you sure it charges a li-ion battery? I tried designing the circuit on PSpice but couldn't find the transistors and the IC code to use them! how can I add them to my libraries? should I use the newest version of PSPice and what is it?
Thank you :)
Just want to make sure :pDelete
This circuit charges a phone battery li-ion cell right??
if I want to have the circuit as hardware what battery would i ask for from market ?
Thank you again :)
Sorry again, but my last question :pDelete
I want to design this circuit on PSPice and then I will do it on PCB to use it later in a device, I need the input from mechanical motion source, what do you suggest ??
Your help much appreciated :))
You can be absolutely sure about the circuits functioning because it's been taken from the datasheet of the manufacturer (Texas Instruments)Delete
the name is more than a guarantee. for further details, you may check it here:
Ok, but what about Pspice ? how can I model this circuit on Pspice, I still cant find the LM3622 and the DTA143ZKA :S can i replace them by other components for the simulation ? Am asked to do simulation cant only rely on hardwareDelete
I normally do not rely on simulators, and never use them so can't say much about them.Delete
You cannot replace the above IC with anything else :-(
i have removed the li-ion cells from the battery and their individual ratings are 3.7v and 2200mAh so i want to use them for charging the mobile batteriesReplyDeleteReplies
If it's fully charged then you may directly connect its poles with the cell phone battery poles, since the voltage ratings are the same the cell phone battery will get charged safely.Delete
However it would be better if you charge the cell phone battery inside the cell phone and not directly...
to charge the batteries in the cell can i directly connect the charging pins one end to this Li-ion batteries or any safety is required .??ReplyDeleteReplies
Connect the Lap top battery terminal voltage to the charging input of a mobile phone via a suitable charging pin.Delete
The mobile phone internal circuit will safeguard its battery and will automatically cut off when it's fully charged.
Do not connect the laptop battery directly to the cell phone battery, charge it inside a mobile phone as explained above.
ok thanks a lot for your help will try and tell youReplyDelete
I use a 3.7V L-ion 1000mA battery for a medical device... It also has a smaller 300mA battery (same voltage)..... However, the battery charger only charges a max of 700mA. The batteries don't hold a charge for very long.... Is there any ways to adjust the schematic to be switchable for the two battery types??ReplyDeleteReplies
You can use the same charger separately for both the batteries. you can make a simple LM317 current limiter circuit and use it in series with your existing charger output while using it for the lower rated batt.Delete
you may refer to the first diagram in the following link, calculate R1 as per the formula:
I have Li-ion battery (US18650GR), in 2 parallel 2 series. I want to charge them without remove each batteries. I also want to use them as a power bank. In other word, I want to charge and discharge the batteries with protection ( discharge min 2.9 v, charge max 4.2v each) and 5v output and it may not be used while charging. Thank you for your help.ReplyDeleteReplies
I am sorry have no idea how to charge li-ion batteries with series/parallel connections safely, so cannot provide correct info regarding itDelete
What about circuit protection to each battery?ReplyDelete
Thank you
Please what circuit can I use in charging an 11.1v, 33.6Ah, 373w battery (TH-68110146)? It has Four wires. Red Positive and Black Negative (thick wires), yellow and green (thin wires).ReplyDelete
A D4146 or AOD4146 transistor blew out in the charging circuitry and I can't locate it in the store. Any help about a substitute?Replies
In the diagram it's clearly shown that the the circuit is meant for a 3.7v li-ion cell phone battery. The battery that you have connected is no way applicable with this circuit.Delete
use a LM338 charger circuit for your battery, I have plenty of these circuits in this bog, you can search them through the given search box.
what is the difference between using LM388 charger circuit and LM3622 charger circuit?ReplyDeleteReplies
ampere, voltage capacities.Delete
is there an alternative for the dta 143z transistor, preferably through-hole ?ReplyDelete
Thanks a lot
sorry, i do not have any reliable info regarding it.Delete
Hi Mr SwagathamReplyDelete
I am converting a cordless drill from Ni cad batteries to Lion battery with voltage rating of 13.2 volt
battery pack.. I have gone through lot of circuits regarding Lion batteries charging methods regarding the constrain in LIon battery charging but most of them are prefering to go for balanced charging of Lion batteries if your are connecting in series i,e 3.6x3volts
kindly help me out in designing a balanced charger circuit and posting on ur blog which would be great helpful from ur side
Thanks & Regards
Hi Balaram,Delete
We must go according to what is recommended, otherwise it could lead to overcharge or over discharge for some of the cells while the opposite for the others.
I would suggest that you use a single SMF 12V battery instead of a battery pack for avoiding the hassles.
hi Swagatam, the switching of the J1 and J2 is supposed to be a manual procedure rite??ReplyDeleteReplies
hi yeshwanth, yes it's a manual operation through switches.Delete
Hi Swagatam,ReplyDelete
May I know how to charge a li-ion four pack battery (14.8 volts), with an input of 12 voltsDC, using LM3622, based on your diagram above?Replies
Hi Vic,Delete
using the above circuit for a 12V to 14.8V application could be complex, it's better to go for a simple opamp based design with a boost converter instead.
I'm looking in to replacing a Li-Ion battery in a garden powertool. It's a small one that contains a 3.6V 1300mAh cell. The charger cirguit is covered with a water tight coating, so it can't help me much.
Do you think the system could handle a 3.7V 3000mAh replacement?
Thanks in advance.Replies
yes the above circuit will be capable of charging a 3AH, both the PNP transistors will need to be mounted on a heatsink for optimal performance
Hi, can I use this circuit as a protection circuit for a cylindrical 3.7v 2400mah li-ion battery cell? As I read the comments, it must not charge the battery directly to the circuit. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi, please check the datasheet and verify whether or not the circuit is capable of charging at a 2amp rate, if it is then you can use it for your purpose.Delete
You can connect and charge the cell directly with this circuit...what you read in the comment was related to charging a cell from another cell....not from the above charger circuit.
Thanks for the response. Just knew the IC LM3622 is not available in our area. :(Delete
you can try the following circuit also:Delete

General Motors CEO Akerson throws the anchors aweigh: Motoramic Dash
After a week of headlines about executive departures and other worries, General Motors Chief Executive Dan Akerson held a company-wide conference on Thursday. He bemoaned leaks to the media, calling them "an act of treason" -- which we know because the call was leaked to a few media outlets, including The Detroit News. He told employees to act with integrity, but that "forgiveness is better than permission." He also said the company has "done a pretty damn good job," then went on to list all the areas where it was falling down: Europe, pension costs, a choking internal bureaucracy and even suggesting some engines weren't as good as they should be.
So we know irony isn't a strong suit. But long-time auto industry experts worry about Akerson's choices at GM, and this talk didn't ease them. The trouble is there's no way to know who's right until it's too late.
Akerson, a former Navy officer who made his career in telecommunications and private equity, had never run a business as large and complex as GM before his sudden replacement of Ed Whitacre two years ago. Since then, there's been several executive shifts at the top, and Akerson has said the company needed a major reorganization to prosper in the 21st century.
Akerson has proven adept at spotting problems, inside and outside GM (famously saying, correctly, that Lincoln should go away). GM's 2009 bankruptcy was so rapid that there wasn't time for a more through revamp of a company that still seems to battle itself as much as others. By the end of this year, Akerson has pledged to move closer to a more modern structure, with a computer system that won't lose track of employees as GM's apparently has.
But spotting business problems is easy; knowing how to fix them is the tough part. Many business executives have washed up on the auto industry because of its myriad ways to lose large sums of money quickly. Akerson was apparently the motivation for GM to move up the launch of the new Chevrolet Malibu Eco months early -- a decision that backfired when the car got lukewarm reviews. If there's a fix for the European unit short of shuttering it, Akerson and team haven't revealed it yet. It will take another year to know how well Akerson's chosen team can execute a new model; GM is still working through a backlog of vehicles whose designs were interrupted by bankruptcy.
It's hard to think of a CEO job in America that's tougher today than GM's, between the business pressures and the spotlight of politics (more on that later.) As long as GM's profitable, Akerson has room to put his imprimatur on the company. The big test will be the launch of the new Chevy Silverado next year, GM's most profitable model, and the one ship that can't run aground.

(Actually, I haven't had a real job since 1987 – I got laid off and downsized before it was fashionable! – but didn't start seriously working from home until 1996)
I could probably bore you with stories about my great lifestyle, fast cars, luxury homes and all the other garbage some people claim, but I thought this picture of my (incredibly good looking and smart) granddaughter tells a story better than I ever could:
We were at the Long Beach Aquarium in Southern California on a Wednesday afternoon. Since I don't have a 'real' job we were able to go when we wanted to. She entered the bird sanctuary and quickly attracted the attention of some of the locals. The smile comes from knowing life is pretty good and not worrying about tomorrow. She is the happiest girl I know. And I had the privilege of spending another weekday with her because I don't owe my life to a boss.
So what does this mean to you! It means your SUCCESS FROM HOME ALLOWS YOU TO LIVE YOUR LIFE ACCORDING TO YOUR SCHEDULE! And maybe, just maybe, it means giving your kids and grandkids a pretty good life, too.
It took me a long time to learn how to succeed from home but today I do well because I DO WHAT WORKS, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AND I TEACH MY STRATEGIES TO MY FRIENDS THROUGH MY FREE EMAILS AND PERSONAL MENTORING.

It's Always Sunny in St. Petersburg
Evan Longoria, recent AL Player of the Week, had quite a night for the first place Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday.
The 22-year-old third baseman went 3-for-4 and drove in three runs to aid his team in a second sweep of the Boston Red Sox, rallying from a 3-run deficit in the seventh inning for a 7-6 victory.
Among chants of "Sweep! Sweep! Sweep!" at Tropicana Field, the Rays now find themselves 20 games above .500 at 52-32. Which is really more than remarkable when you consider they've never won more than 70 games in a season (2004). The Rays are on pace to win 100 this year... which might not happen, but it's a good pace nevertheless.
If you haven't hopped on the bandwagon to St. Petersburg yet, now may be the time.
Curtsey to Dan at Red Sox Monster for the video goodness.
Also, Troy Percival sure picked the right time and the right team to make his return, gracing the cover of the latest ESPN magazine along with fellow Rays stars Evan Longoria, Akinori Iwamura and Carl Crawford.

I don't see anything reprogramming the ignition switch. What's the problem?
Is there anyway to reprogram the ignition switch with out having to go to a dealer to have the key and everything reprogrammed?
Feb 16, 2012.
Feb 16, 2012.
If you are replacing tyhe ignition switch, no programming is required. If you are replacing the cylinder lock, they key would have to be reprogrammed. The other way is to match the key cylinder to the original key or you can dig the transponder out of the old key and bury it back into the new key.

Obama congratulates Cairo's new leaderComment on this story
Washington - United States President Barack Obama called new Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Tuesday and affirmed his commitment to a US-Egyptian strategic partnership, the White House said.
Sisi was sworn in on Sunday, almost a year after toppling elected president Mohamed Morsi, an ousting that Obama resisted calling a coup because it would have prompted Washington to cut off assistance to Egypt.
The White House said Obama called Sisi to congratulate him on his inauguration and "to convey his commitment to working together to advance the shared interests of both countries".
"The president reiterated the United States' continuing support for the political, economic and social aspirations of the Egyptian people, and respect for their universal rights," the White House said. - Reuters

Today's New York Times includes a piece on female bosses being occasionally more tyrannical that males (see A Tyrant Boss, Even Without the Y Chromosome – New York Times), which precipitated a chain of thought about collaboration, the future of work, and, perhaps, a return to an earlier basis for culture:
[by Benedict Carey]
In an authoritative 2003 analysis of 45 studies in a wide range of organizations, from schools to hospitals to financial companies, Alice Eagly of Northwestern University and Marloes van Engen of Tilberg University in the Netherlands found that women managers tended to be — on average — more collaborative than men, more encouraging to subordinates, more likely to include them in decisions. Men were more likely to lead by top-down command, or to be strictly hands off, distant.
"The differences are small and of course individuals vary," Dr. Eagly said, "but women score higher on transformational leadership, modeling good behavior, working with people, letting people know when they are doing a good job."
I have long believed that the best collaboration arises in groups where hierarchical dominance is tempered by egalitarian ideals: where the social norms favor hearing the viewpoints of the largest number of those involved in the work or subject at hand, and where the responsibilities and rewards of work are distributed. Not too surprising, those places where I have worked with the fewest number of women have been the places with the lowest degree of collaboration, trust, and happiness.
Being a natural loner, although an alpha male type, I have in general withdrawn into the hard shell of individual achievement in such situations, or, when working as a manager in these contexts, have worked to create a private world with social norms at variance with the larger context. Lamentably, both of these strategies had only limited success, or, at the worst, have failed miserably.
I believe that the best setting for collaboration – whether in the workplace, or in society as a whole – is one in which these principles of inclusion and egalitarianism are afforded the greatest importance. This is the primary motivation for my evangelism for Web culture, since it lacks any hierarchies except those based on respect, influence, and the inexorable power laws of reputation and emergent individual authority.
It is worth saying that the nature of collaboration is such that it flourishes in situations where the so-called "feminine" – which could be translated as egalitarian – approach to social interaction are expected and applied. This means that we need to move actively away from authoritarian – "masculine" – and hierarchical approaches to sense making, organization, and decision making, that is, if we wish to live in a world based on collaboration and inclusion.
Of course, the alternative is right in front of us. We can instead aspire to hold onto a world based on exclusion, divisiveness, and caste, where unilateral power politics dominate the world stage, and the parochial interests of the powerful few control the destinies of all.
And in business, we will watch as those who best learn how to collaborate will come to dominate the land-rush into the 21st century economy, and those who tried to control their markets – instead of building deep collaboration into their business models, as John Seely Brown styles it – will fail. It may well be that this will be the fulcrum upon which human culture turns, pried away from industrial era models of command-and-control, in business, in politics, and in society as a whole.
I sense that the Web stands as a strange attractor, where the relatively stable state of our world system can be rapidly transformed into a radically different but equally stable state.
On a personal level, I think that the rise of a new world culture, colored strongly by the Web and its subversion of all the pillars of culture, namely arts, entertainment, media, politics, and religion, will change people's aspirations and role models. Bill Gates will seem less an icon than Pierre Omidyar or Jason Fried, in the coming years. Gates, the last great industrial tycoon, and the information era the final chapter in the industrial epoch.
And it occured to me that this egalitarianism – including the near parity of men and women in social systems – is a major characteristic of hunter/gatherer societies. I wondered what other aspects of hunter/gatherer life might be worthwhile to reintroduce into today's world, or which are likely to reemerge as we move into the new epoch?
Communitarianism – Early paleolithic hunter/gatherers have been generally depicted, as Hobbes stated, "living lives nasty, brutish, and short," but current anthropology suggests that they may have lived much better that later pastorialists, agricutural serfs, or industrial factory workers. They certainly worked less, perhaps only a few hours a day, spending the rest of their time socializing, sleeping, and playing. Most interesting, it seems that in general, hunter/gatherers distribute their food in a communitarian manner, relying on a "gift economy" of obligation and favors to make sense of who should get how much of what is caught or gathered everyday.
I am not advocating a grasshopper lifesyle, with no food storage or planning for the future, but only suggesting that the current social norms fail to include the poor and disenfranchised adequately in our rapid movement into a brave new world. We need to adopt an "all for all" attitude, and distribute the benefits of our collective resources in such a way that all have a place at the cookpot. Any other philosophy – especially based on the arguments of centralized authority in the hands of ruling elites – will fail to find any resonance in the emerging Web culture.
Marshall Sahlins refers to a "Zen affluence" where
human material wants are finite and few, and technical means unchanging but on the whole adequate. Adopting the Zen strategy, a people can enjoy an unparalleled material plenty – with a low standard of living. That, I think, describes the hunters. And it helps explain some of their more curious economic behaviour: their "prodigality" for example- the inclination to consume at once all stocks on hand, as if they had it made. Free from market obsessions of scarcity, hunters' economic propensities may be more consistently predicated on abundance than our own.
I am not actually advocating returning to actually hunting and gathering itself – spearing fish from streams, or eating bark from trees – only the reapplication of the social models of hunter/gathers now that we have moved beyond a time in which most of us are working the land or laboring in factories. This Zen abundance is one example of how we might think, if we only wanted to.
Nomadism – A few thousand years ago, humanity stopped wandering around, and became tied to the land based on agriculture, and then moved from agriculural areas into the cities with the rise of industrialism. In a time when corporate agriculture employs only a few percent of the population, and a minority are involved in manufacturing, huge cities and sedentary populations are an artifact of outmoded economics. (As are, perhaps, all notions that derive from living in fixed places, which is too large a thought to pursue here, suggesting the inutility of things like nations.)
While New York seems the pinnacle of all that is metropolitan, parking 8 to 15 million people into a giant hive on some relatively low-lying islands and pennisulas sticking out in the increasingly restive Atlantic in a time of global warming is simply hubris, as the Katrina disaster should prove to anyone willing to connect the dots. A multi-trillion dollar disaster is just waiting to happen, and it really is not limited to just big catastrophes. Ditto Hong Kong and dozens of other locations.
The world is warming, and while we should do everything we can to decrease the rate of the rise, it is likely to rise for some time, no matter what we do. Our relationship to the earth has to change on many levels, and in one obvious one: we need to think about moving large populations away from the coastlines, where most people on earth live.
We could adopt the paleolithic ideal, which involves thinking of ourselves as nomads, and moving away from the "American Dream" which involves a relatively large home, surrounded by other similar, disconnected homes, in neighborhood unserved or underserved by public transportation, that require the entire energy apparatus of Western civilization to support it: commuting, cars, large road systems, strip malls, gas stations, the petroleum economy, wars in West Asia, and the growing carbon crisis.
Instead, we need to envision a time when we rely principally on non-personal transportation, using renewable energy sources, and a gradual decommissioning of all the elements of the current "Dream" – including the fixed tie to the land that a home implies.
I am not self-universalizing, suggesting that others should become jetsetters just because I am bouncing from place to place like a shuttlecock. But moving our aspirations away from a house in the suburbs, a job with a short commute, and a summer place on the Cape is a good starting point.
Why can't people in service jobs work nearly anywhere? You can, as the Web shows. And even folks in more prosaic jobs – the barrista at the neighborhood Starbucks – could just as well work in Tucson, as in Fairfax County, so long as people begin dispersing from the coasts and large cities into other locales.
This is a condemnation of the current mileau – politicians, governments, media, and other organized gorups – who refuse to mobilize toward a sustainable future. We will have to – no surprise – take it on ourselves to accomplish this transformation of human life on earlth, and most likely jettison those power structures along the way.
And my prediction is that people will begin moving into locales conducive to this sort of life style. [I better hurry to sell my suburban DC home before this trend surfaces.] But it is likely to require a permanent increase in energy costs and a few more coastal disasters before the notion becomes a movement.
Inclusiveness – Buckminster Fuller's Spaceship Earth notions are basically forgotten, but the idea is simple: we are on Earth together, and if we think of it as a vessel carrying us into the future, with limited resources and a growing number of passengers it will change our response to the problems that beset us. And good collaborative solutions will require us to adopt inclusionary and egalitarian approaches to work toward reasonable solutions: we will need to become more feminine in our style and society.
You can take this as the Sunday morning ramblings of a bleary-eyed, over-zealous student of technology and society, if you'd like. Some moony-headed geek hoping that technology will outpace the ills of our dysfunctional world. Maybe so.
I hope that instead I am simply advocating a return to our wiring, a resurgence of trust in ourselves and how we have come into being on this green, small, and fragile watering hole, this third rock from the Sun. We need to move past the fractious adolesence of a troubled humanity and take on the tasks of adulthood, which means caring for all of us, not just our friends and families, and putting aside childish cliques and games.
Its time to learn to hunt, and forage, and memorize the old, old songs that tell the paths to the summer fishing grounds and where the nuts are sweetest. Fables that teach us that humor trumps evil, and that the wisest of us all might be an old crone full of tales. Stories that warn us against the short and hard promises of war, and argue against the cold logic of hatred.
We need to move to the edge, and leave the center behind. We have so much to do, so much to lose, so much to regain.

text: 1. Your task in physics laboratory is to make a microscope from two lenses. One lens has a focal length of 2.8 cm, the other 1.1 cm. You plan to use the more powerful lens as the objective, and you want the eyepiece to be 15 cm from the objective. What is the magnification of your microscope? 2. Thin lens equation M_obj = -s'/s M_eye = ??? 3. In part one I solved for s, and s = 1.2cm. The more powerful lens is the one with f = 1.1, and s' = 13.2. Thus, the magnification of the objective lens should be -s'/s = -13.2/1.2 = -11. Is that correct? Also, what do I sue for the magnification of the eye? I know that I have to mutiply those two values to obtain my final answer.

Kota Bharu
Travel Guide
In a nutshell
Conservative Muslim Kota Bharu may usually be a transit point, but is worth a stop to immerse yourself in traditional Malay life. Stop at a few museums and enjoy a performance at the cultural centre. Tuck into a plate of nasi kerabu — with your fingers, of course.
Kota Bharu, the capital of Kelantan, is the launching point for many travellers heading to the Perhentian Islands, just off the northern coast of eastern Malaysia. Possibly due to Kota Bharu's strict Muslim ideology and its status as "The Islamic City", many travellers spend little time here or bypass it altogether, but its history, culture and architecture make it well worth some exploration if you're in the area.
The Sultan Mohammed II of Kelantan established the city Kota Bharu in 1844; he built the new capital of Kelantan as a legacy to himself. The city itself was initially built in the Islamic architectural style of the period and many of the original buildings are still standing, such as the Muzium Islam, built in 1902. Prior to the British Treaty of 1909, Kelantan was part of the Siamese Empire and even now, due to its proximity to Thailand, Kelantanese culture is greatly influenced by Thailand, especially when it comes to food. Traditional dances like Mak Yong are no longer practised because the perceived Hindu influences are thought to contradict Islam.
Adding to an already culturally and historically rich area, the 19th century also saw an influx of Chinese seeking prosperity and freedom in the region. As a result of this immigration, Chinese from other parts of then-Malaya also gravitated to Kota Bharu to establish what has become a considerable presence in the city today.
Kota Bharu's key businesses, sights and activities are located within relatively easy walking distance from the central bus terminal, which appears to be the hub of town more so than any other particular area.
With the exception of Fridays and holidays, most everything is open daily and at convenient times. The daily lunch hour is diligently observed, so avoid any pressing business or sightseeing between 13:00 and 14:00. It is also advisable to not choose a popular eatery during the citywide meal break, unless you don't mind waiting.
Relatively inexpensive taxis are easily available, but the extensive public bus service can get you just about anywhere at a fraction of the cost. The City Liner buses leave from the central terminal like clockwork; the #639 departs daily for the jetty in Kuala Besut, the #10 bus will get you to PCB beach and the #9 will get you to the airport.
For those who simply don't feel like walking, a few weary trishaw guys still pedal their trade (get it?) They can be negotiated for longer hire to deliver you to various Kota Bharu sights and even wait in the shade between your stops. This is a colourful way to explore the town.
Most locals are quite helpful in answering questions, and two tourism offices have excellent maps and sightseeing information. Take advantage of the free weekly cultural shows at the Cultural Centre too.
You won't find much in the way of alcohol in Kota Bharu, but the few Chinese restaurants in town will have some in stock; it may not be on the menu, so just ask. Public toilets usually require 30 sen to enter (extra for tissues), so it's good to have some extra nature's calling change within easy access as well as your own toilet paper (for when there's also a lack of hose/water).
Although there is no dress code in Kota Bharu, it is a very conservative Muslim area. Dressing in appropriate attire is respectful, will help locals feel more comfortable and keep you from getting unwanted attention. Having a long sleeve shirt or sarong handy can often be a quick solution if your travel fashion statement is suddenly out of place.
Kota Bharu sees its share of rainy days, but more so between August and January. It may also see slightly lower temperatures between December and February, a welcome relief. Malaysia has quite a few school holidays in addition to nationwide holidays and that means a lot of local travel traffic. All means of transport are popular, especially long distance buses.
Additionally, various religious holidays have dates that change from year to year, so check both holiday and school holiday schedules when travelling through many parts of Malaysia to avoid hitting peak times. Inexpensive accommodation can also fill up quickly and negotiability of rates goes out the window during these times as well. Fridays can sometimes be the worst day to be in transit anywhere, due to many places being closed.
A wealth of information can be obtained from Kota Bharu's two tourism centres and should not be overlooked as a superb source of free maps and information brochures.

Kota Bharu has plenty of ATMs, but note that most are designed to read a microchip on the card and if yours does not have a microchip access may be denied. Some businesses will give cash back with purchases. If you need a money changer, one is located across the street from the central bus terminal on Jalan Padang Garong at Azam Photo. Azam Hotel (next door) will also change money.
There is an immigration office and it may be possible to extend your Malaysian tourist visa depending on your country of origin. Costs for doing this vary state to state, and in Kelantan the charge is 50 ringgit per month (for up to three months, again depending on traveller's country of origin).

Border crossing
A popular stopover on the route between Thailand and Malaysia, there are two crossings close to Kota Bharu. The more popular crossing is between Sungai Kolok on the Thai side and Rantau Panjang on the Malay side. Vehicles must stop here for immigration formalities and you'll need to get off with all your belongings to stamp out of Thailand and into Malaysia (or vice versa). Once you're in Malaysia, Kota Bharu can be reached by State Bus #29 or a shared taxi. Sungai Kolok has frequent minibus departures to Hat Yai and other destinations in southern Thailand and also has a train station, with daily departures to Hat Yai and beyond.
The second, much less frequented crossing is on the coast between the Malay town of Pengkalan Kubor and the Thai village of Ban Taba. Pengkalan Kubor is around 20km northwest of Kota Bharu reached by bus #27 or #43. A small ferry will whisk you across the river. Once in Ban Taba, Tak Bai is a short songthaew ride away from where you can press on to Narathiwat -- the latter is about 40km from Ban Taba.

Awesome question.
The Diet Coke commercial she did is more arousing that any porn you are likely to see.
Yes, this pisses me off. We all could have had one of these.
Put her and Charlize Theron in a movie and I don't care what it's about I'll see it.
Love this woman! Soooo hot…

So the NCAA is about to vacate Memphis' Final Four from 2008, presumably because -- while he was in high school -- 2008 Memphis star Derrick Rose used a fraudulent test score to get into college in the first place.
But what about the program that made it to a Final Four with a player who, the NCAA later found out, had accepted more than $2,000 from his AAU coach while still in high school? That player also should have been ineligible. That school also should have vacated the Final Four.
But that player was Corey Maggette. And that team was Duke. The year was 1999.
So nothing happened. To anyone. To this day. Nothing has happened, and it never will.
My point? My point is that the NCAA, even with as much progress as it has made under Myles Brand, still uses selective justice when crashing down onto various schools or coaches. Then-Memphis coach John Calipari is on the NCAA's hit list, and so the NCAA ostensibly holds him responsible for Marcus Camby's dalliance with an agent in 1995, and for whatever Derrick Rose did while he was in high school hundreds of miles away in Chicago.
But Mike Krzyzewski is not on the NCAA's hit list, so Maggette is fine, Duke is fine, 1999 is fine, the world is a happy place full of seashells and balloons.
Forgive me if I vomit up a conch.
I said conch.
