Christopher R. Harz reports back from CES, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, about what gadgets the geeks are looking at.
The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas was huge, glitzy and overwhelming, as it should be. Whereas many of the products were more-of-the-same-slightly-better, some gadgets and trends stood out.
One major change is that DVR (digital video recorders) sets for home entertainment centers are becoming mainstream, allowing consumers to record TV programs on DVDs instead of todays ubiquitous VCR tapes. DVDs have the advantage that they take up less space and allow quick skipping to specific programs. A so-called combo DVR also has a hard drive that offers both nonlinear recording and easy integration with TiVo-type personal video recorder (PVR) features. Combo sets may have memory card readers (multi-format) and Firewire inputs, so consumers can download audio and video directly, to record and then watch on TV.
Typical of the new genre is the Toshiba RD-SX32, which has an 80GB hard drive and a high-speed DVD recorder. What makes the difference this year is price entries such as Gateways AR-230 DVD+RW recorder at $299 have made such sets affordable this year. Note that both DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W formats are still around, so you may want to buy a +/- dual format unit to be on the safe side.
Speaking of PVRs not only has the price of these sets come down, they are being offered for free with some cable and satellite services, merged with the companys set top box (STB). The growing acceptance of PVRs will have another major effect because they give viewers the ability to easily skip over advertising in television programming, the networks will have to look for new ways to insert ads. Look for more banner ads superimposed on the screen in the future, as well as increased use of product placement within the show itself both live and (because live footage with a product in it could wind up on the cutting room floor) as 3D computer animation added after a show is in the can.
The 500-pound gorilla of DVRs at the show was the DVR-250 HD satellite receiver from DIRECTV (www.directv.com), which can receive and record high-definition content, with four HD TV tuners (two for satellite and two for terrestrial), a 250-gigabyte hard drive and TiVo PVR features. What makes this set revolutionary is that it is the first real product (other than some very expensive digital tape recorders) that allows consumers to tape HD programs off the air and then replay them later to friends to show off their widescreen HD monitors and surround-sound speakers.
Up till now high-def content could only be watched live, with no way to record it for later viewing. The ability to record HD by consumers will mean both a growing demand for more HD content (which will affect broadcasters and post-production houses) and increased sales of widescreens and surround-sound systems (to show off said content to envious neighbors). DIRECTV (recently bought by Rupert Murdoch) is offering the DVR-250 for $999; the 250GB drive records about 30 hours of HD or 150 hours of standard programming.
High-definition content will also soon be available on DVDs, either with new compression techniques using existing DVD player technology, or with the new Blu-Ray technology, which uses a blue laser reader/writer instead of the normal red laser; the shorter wavelength results in much higher data density, up to about 30GB per DVD instead of the normal 4.7GB. LG is coming out with a Blu-Ray DVD player this year, which can record and play HD DVDs, the first such use for a consumer set.
Gateway was not the only computer maker that decided to enter the home entertainment market. Dell is now offering a full range of entertainment products, including TVs and DVD players. And Epson is making printers with widescreen TV monitors attached. HP is also born again as a CE (consumer electronics) maker, with 30- and 42-inch plasma flat panel TVs, an entertainment hub that serves as a distribution point for home audio/video media, and a deal with Apple to produce an HP-branded digital music player based on Apples iPod.
Another trend is that LCD monitors are getting larger and cheaper, making them an attractive option for people with limited space such as a university dorm room to use as both a computer monitor and television set; many new LCD monitors have both TV tuners and computer inputs built into them. LCD televisions were once relatively small, but there were dozens of sets in the 30- and 40-inch range at the show, topped by a 55-inch model from Zenith/LG, showing how popular this monitor format has become for television viewing.
LCD monitors come in two forms: direct view (also called flat panels) and rear projection televisions (RPTVs). The RPTVs, which are definitely not meant for dorm rooms, come in a variety of sizes in the 40-65 inch range; although bulkier than flat panel LCDs, they are less than half the size and weight of the most popular rear projection sets, those using CRTs, which can be five feet high and weigh hundreds of pounds.
Another technology that could be seen everywhere was DLP (Digital Light Processing, at www.dlp.com), the Texas Instruments form of the micromirror chip, which was offered in a wide range of both front and rear-projection televisions. Toshiba, which had offered its own rival LCOS-based technology last year, caved in on that technology because of production difficulties, and now also offers a full range of DLP products, including HD sets based on TIs new HD+ DLP chip, which replaced last years Mustang as the champion in the 1260x720 range for HD 720p/1080i (and 16x9 native resolution) displays.
Digital cameras are selling better than ever, with a large number of 3-megapixel models in the $200-$400 range. Advances include better zoom ranges (4-12x instead of the traditional 3x) and more pixels, with several 6-megapixel models such as Canons hot-selling digital Rebel (www.canoneos.com/digitalrebel) showing what will soon be considered the minimum acceptable resolution the market will tolerate. The biggest improvement is in response time, both for startup and for picture-to-picture times several previous digital cameras (including some Sony models) had several seconds of delay between taking one picture and being ready for the next.
Digital camcorder sales are also brisk whats new is a lineup of very compact cameras the size of a deck of cards, such as the Panasonic SV-AV100 (www.panasonic.com/consumer_electronics) and the Sanyo/Fisher FVD-C1 (http://www.fisherav.com/FVD-C1.htm). These cameras achieve their tiny sizes by using removable Flash memory cards instead of DV tape for video storage (the Sanyo is also a 3.2 megapixel still camera). Although still limited in how long they can shoot (a 512MB card may allow only 15 minutes recording time in some models), these cameras will clearly come to the forefront with the availability of higher-capacity Flash memory cards. SanDisk (www.sandisk.com ), for instance, rolled out its new 1- and 2-gigabyte SD (Secure Digital) and Memory Stick storage cards, a development that will revolutionize not only vidcams and digital cameras, but a whole range of consumer products, including PDAs, cell phones, printers and game sets, which will orient towards better picture and display qualities now that gigabyte storage is available in a SanDisk chip the size of a postage stamp.
Flash memory grew 90% in sales volume last year. The SD, CF (Compact Flash) and Sonys Memory Stick remain popular flash card formats, while the MMC (MultiMediaCard) format seems to be falling behind, and the SmartMedia is essentially dead. Two new formats, miniSD and Memory Stick Duo, have been developed as reduced-size versions of these cards for the growing cell phone market, especially for cell phones with built-in cameras exceeding one-megapixel resolution (already available in Japan).
Once youve taken stills and video with your new digital camera, you of course want to edit and organize those, and there was a raft of offerings to help you do just that. One of the more interesting was Sound Pix (www.soundpix.com), which lets you edit an image and attach a sound file to it (such as, Happy Birthday! or Here we are backpacking), and Pinnacle Instant PhotoAlbum (www.pinnaclesys.com), which offers easy ways to edit pictures (with one-button color correction and red-eye removal), add frames and enhancements to them, organize them into a slide show with music and transitions, and then burn them to a DVD.
Instant PhotoAlbum makes editing and organizing digital images a one-touch process. © 2003 Pinnacle Systems Inc. All rights reserved.
Pinnacles new video editing package, Studio 9, remains as simple and friendly to use as ever, but has added lots of new features, including widescreen (16x9) support, video correction (lightening dark indoor footage and then adjusting color is a great help), and automated editing so you can zip up your video with lots of jump cuts without spending hours to do so.
Better displays and storage naturally demand better graphics power, and companies such as NVIDIA (www.nvidia.com) had plenty to show not just for desktop PCs, but for gaming consoles, notebooks and handhelds. NVIDIA is now tightly associated with the gaming market, and sponsors contests and development of ever more creative applications of graphics displays at the edge of technology.
One of the coolest gadgets at the show was the Virtual Keyboard from Ibiz Technology (www.ibizpda.com). The compact device projects a laser image of a keyboard on a tabletop. It uses infrared technology to determine where your fingers are on the keyboard and tells the attached system PDA, desktop or laptop computer, or cell phone using Palm or Windows technology what letters you typed. MSRP is $99; a wireless version to use with Bluetooth-enabled PDAs and cell phones will be on store shelves by June.
Audio played a large part at the CES, with a myriad of new music players, including MP3 players included in PDAs, phones and almost anything that moves. One cool product shown is the LINK from Skullcandy (www.skullcandy.com), which is a low-cost connection between the two life-support systems for many young consumers the cell phone and the MP3 player. You need never miss an important call when head-banging again the LINK allows the cell phone to ring through on your stereo headphones, so you can answer the call and then return to the music. Since Skullcandy is located in Park City, it caters to snowboarders, who prefer not to have headphones covering their ears, lest they miss the screams of possible collision targets. Fear not Skullcandy has a new backpack with great speakers built into the shoulder straps, so you can get high-quality stereo on the slopes.
Surround sound audio is also getting more popular with ever-fussier consumers, with both Dolby and DTS players now available for car A/V systems as well as for home theaters. DTS, the highest fidelity surround sound format, has made major advances its included as standard equipment in cars such as the Acura TL, and is supported (in both 5.1 channel and 6.1 channel forms) in car audio systems such as the Alpine#1Status, which also uses the DTS Neo:6 system to get surround effects from MP3 and normal CD recordings. DTS sound is also available for desktop PCs, and offers a whole new dimension to playing high-end videogames such as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Another cool product is the IQue from Garmin (www.garmin.com), which combines a GPS navigation system (with voice) and an MP3 player into a PDA with a Palm OS, a definite must for the traveler. If you want to videotape while traveling, you might consider a Model 100 from Deja View (www.mydejaview.com), which consists of a tiny camera that you wear it can be attached onto your sunglasses and a cell phone-sized remote unit that clips onto your belt and records video clips, all for under $400.
There was also a full day of seminars for the Next Generation Internet (www.usipv6.com), which started with a quote from a Microsoft head of R&D, The most important thing we learned is that in the future everything over $25, other than food, will be connected to the Internet. A live demonstration showed one application how home lights and webcams (each with its own Internet address) could be turned on to check security while away.
A major application for the Next Generation Internet will be the widespread application of compact chipsets attached to just about everything manmade, each with its own Internet address, a set of sensors, memory, RF communications and power. In the near future every home will have hundreds of such Next Gen Internet chips in the car, in cell phones and game consoles, and in every kitchen appliance. Hitachi showed just how compact an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip used for tagging products could be (see www.hitachi.com/New/cnews/030902.html ) smaller than a thumbnail.
A final technology we will now see more of is solar panels, produced by companies such as ICP Solar (www.icpsolar.com). These range from small sets the size of a PDA for powering cell phones and other portable devices to much larger sets with flexible sheets some of which are so thin they were used as clothing in a fashion show at the CES. With so many portable devices becoming de rigeur, its assuring to know we will have some lightweight sources of power available.

30 May 2012
For many homebuyers in South Africa, security has become one of the main influencing factors when deciding which home to purchase.
This is according to Grant Gavin, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Panache, who says South African homebuyers are among the most security conscious people in the world due to the fact that so many have been affected by crime in some way.
He explains that this is why homes within secure estates and properties with state-of-the-art security systemsare generally sought-after and have a greater return on investment.
He says this is evident in the premium homebuyers pay for homes in secure estates.
Homeowners can add value to their homes by upgrading their security, as well as have the peace of mind of knowing that the occupants in their home are safer, says Gavin.
Barry Brown, Director of Marshall Security, a security company in Durban North, says there are a few ways that homeowners can increase the security of their homes and deter criminals.
He gives a few pointers that homeowners should consider:
1. Physical protection is best
According to Brown, physical protection and barriers such as palisade-style fencing or good quality electric fencing is no match when it comes to deterring would-be burglars.
He says, however, that it is important to remember that an electric fence around the perimeter makes the front gate the weak spot, so it is advisable that the gate is alarmed as well.
Motion beams or outdoor passives are a great backup to good physical security, he says, as they provide early detection and an alarm, should the physical barriers fail.
2. Don't be an easy target
The longer it takes to break into your home, the less likely it is that this will happen.
Avoid anything that can make your home an easy target.
Keep bushes, trees and foliage trimmed back so that there are no hiding places for intruders and keep entrance areas well lit.
Be careful not to leave garage doors unlocked or open to advertise the contents stored within.
Get a guard-dog that has been trained to bark at any disturbance and talk to the children about the importance of identifying who is trying to gain access to the home.
3. Don't ignore the intercom
If the gate buzzer or intercom rings at any hour of the day or night do not ignore it.
Brown says that some criminals use this as a method to check whether the occupants of the property are home.
If it is ignored, an armed intruder may take that as an invitation to proceed to enter.
If the intercom does not work, remove or repair it as soon as possible.
4. Never advertise being away
Most criminals want to avoid a confrontational situation, so they would rather break into a home while the occupants are not there.
Signs such as uncollected post can make the property more vulnerable to burglary.
Homeowners who don't already have timers, should consider installing timers for the lights, for both inside and outside the home, and leave a car where it is safe but visible from the outside.
5. Don't keep keys in usual places
Brown says that a new trend among certain syndicates of housebreakers is to take your vehicle in addition to your household belongings.
To combat this, keys and their spares should be kept out of all the usual places.
Keeping them on key hooks and on counters and desks is a no-no.
He suggests that homeowners who are going away on holiday should make sure that their keys are hidden safely away.
6. Be involved
Join your local community policing forum and get fellow residents together to form a neighbourhood watch with shared time schedules.
Gavin says although there is no fool-proof way of ensuring that your home and occupants will be protected at all times, being prepared and taking the necessary precautions is a step in the right direction.

Instead, shed your PC room's fashion faux pas with AOC's new 22-inch 2218Ph LCD monitor, or so the company implies. AOC claims its new monitor "finally brings PC users the element of style Mac users have enjoyed for the last few years."

Of course, if you're trying to impersonate a Mac user , take extra caution when others are around. Removing the side panel to upgrade a crucial component or firing up a bevy of games are surefire ways of exposing yourself as an uncouth PC user, even if you're wearing jeans and sipping a Starbucks.

Mitochondrial DNA Variability and Development of a PCR
Diagnostic Test for Populations of the Whitefly
(Priesner and Hosny)
M. N. Maruthi,* A. R. Rekha, P. Sseruwagi, and R. J. Hillocks
The whitefly, Bemisia afer (Hemiptera; Aleyrodidae), is emerging as a major agricultural pest. The
current identification methods based on adult and pupal morphology are laborious and unreliable. A diag-
nostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol was developed for the first time in this study to discrimi-
nate B. afer from other whitefly species. Primers specific to mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene
(mtCOI) were designed to amplify a band of approx 650 bp. The PCR products were sequenced from B.
afer samples collected from Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Zanzibar, and the United Kingdom. Phylogenetic
analyses of mtCOI sequences and those of reference B. afer sequences clustered the African B. afer sepa-
rately from the UK and Chinese populations and from other whitefly species. The African cluster was
divided into two clades by parsimony and neighbor-joining methods. This indicates the existence of at
least two genotypic clusters of B. afer, which are diverged by 0.8 to 3.2% nucleotide (nt) identities. Analy-
sis of molecular variance indicated that these differences were the result of within population variation but
were insufficient to identify discrete populations. Among the whitefly species used in the analysis, B. afer
was equally dissimilar to Bemisia tabaci and Bemisia tuberculata (21.3–26.2% nt identities). As is the case
for B. tabaci, these data show that mtCOI sequences are informative also for identifying B. afer variants,
which lack distinguishing morphological features.
Index Entries: Aleyrodidae; cytochromoe oxidase I gene; genetic diversity; genotypes; molecular markers.
1. Introduction
The whitefly, Bemisia afer (Priesner and Hosny)
(Aleyrodidae; Sternorrhyncha; Hemiptera), is an
emerging pest whose geographical range is increas-
ing (1,2). It is an apparently polyphagous pest of a
variety of crop plants belonging to 20 families
(3,4). High numbers of B. afer adults and nymphs
cause extensive damage by direct feeding on cas-
sava in Malawi (5) and South Africa (J. P. Legg,
personal communication), on soybean and citrus
in China and Italy (2). The first outbreak of B. afer
s.l. in the New World occurred in Peru on sweet
potato (1). More recently, B. afer has been found
colonizing ornamental plants in the United King-
dom in unheated polytunnels with temperatures
near freezing levels.
The taxonomy of whiteflies has long been prob-
lematic because of similarities in the morphology
of adults. Precise identification of B. afer and
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), which occur together
on cassava in Africa (6), is difficult and presents a
practical problem for field ecologists. In addition,
nymphs and pupae of Bemisia species exhibit phe-
notypic variation in response to differences in leaf
surface topology (7) and to environmental and
physical factors (8). For these reasons, whitefly spe-
cies have often been synonymized (3,9). B. afer, for
example, was described originally in the genus

RESET program aims to standardize delivery of excellence for redeploying Soldiers, families
May 19, 2008
By Installation Management Command-Europe
Related Links
SCHWEINFURT, Germany - Riding the wave of momentum established since the Army Family Covenant was announced in October 2007, Installation Management Command-Europe and U.S. Army Garrisons Vicenza, Schweinfurt and Bamberg recently initiated a groundbreaking effort to ensure Soldiers and their families receive consistent excellence in the delivery of redeployment services and programs following an extended wartime deployment.
Seizing on this summer's planned redeployment of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team from Afghanistan, representatives met in Schweinfurt May 5-7 to develop a standard model, for possible future Army/garrison-wide implementation, to afford 173rd warriors and Families spread among the three garrisons in two different countries with maximum equity and accessibility to redeployment-related programs and services regardless of the community to which they return.
RESET, one of Four Army Imperatives, and the basis for the pilot program, will establish a balanced process following an extended deployment that systematically restores deployed units to a level of personnel and equipment readiness that permits the resumption of training for future missions.
"In addition to fixing and replacing and upgrading our equipment and training for future missions, we also have to revitalize our soldiers and families by providing them the time and opportunity to recover from the cumulative effects of sustained operations," said Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey when he announced his four imperatives in October 2007.
Installation Management Command's purpose under the RESET initiative is to ensure Soldier and Family programs, as well as installation facilities and ranges, support the implementation of Army Force Generation, the structured progression of increased unit readiness over time resulting in recurring periods of availability of trained, ready, and cohesive units. The RESET pilot focus is on the unit; accelerating the reconstitution of the force, increasing unit readiness, and improving preparation for deployment for subsequent deploying units.
Garrison and IMCOM-Europe representatives from a diverse cross section of functional areas, from public works to MWR and public affairs, brainstormed key tasks and developed integrated approaches that will be captured in a model that participants are hopeful will be a benchmark for any RESET operations involving any unit and any garrison. Their work was augmented by key enablers representing the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team's rear party, and European Regional Medical Center.
"Today's Army family is dramatically affected by operational tempo, and we're excited that the lessons of this pilot ensure the needs and concerns of all audiences impacted by the 15-month redeployment cycle are foundational planning factors in the RESET process. Through this groundbreaking work, we're able to assure the redeploying unit that IMCOM-Europe and garrison support structure is fully cocked and ready to deliver a consistent level of excellence of support regardless of where a unit is in the RESET process," said JoAnn Chambers, IMCOM-Europe chief of staff.
Issues discussed ranged from creature comforts like bagged lunches for Soldiers disembarking from flights out of theater, and synchronizing the implementation of the seven-day Soldier reintegration program to a unit's particular needs, to consolidated marketing efforts to educate affected audiences, including host nation communities, on the Army's priorities during the RESET process. Participants laid the ground work for a plan that will eventually nest within the Department of the Army's RESET model, provide additional accountability through the development of standardized guidance and resources for Garrisons to accomplish reintegration tasks, and clearly articulate standards to ensure the same quality level of service at all garrisons.

I'm having the same problem with Logic Pro 9. Exasperating. I didn't upgrade to version 9 until Lion forced it upon me... and am wondering if this bug is related to Lion.

Same problem. Searched everywhere and cannot find an answer. VERY irritating - especially when trying to edit in Piano Roll. Help Apple!!!

Just found a short-term solution until Apple (hopefully) fixes the problem. If you have a mouse with a scrollwheel, hold down your Shift key while scrolling and it will scroll horizontally. The scrollbar doesn't jump when you do this.
BTW, in case Apple monitors these posts, I am using Logic Pro 9 on a Mac Pro with OS X Lion. The scrollbar problem did not start until I upgraded to Lion.

Same problem here, but it seems also related to the screen in use, at least in my setup. I'm running Logic on my MacBook with a native screen resolution of 1200x800. I have a second screen attached above it with a resolution of 1920x1080 which I use for the main Arranger screen, the MacBook screen itself is mainly used for displaying the mixer and AU's.
When the arranger screen is on my larger display the horizontal scrollbar is flying all over the place when I try to move it, but when I have the arranger window on my MacBook's screen it behaves normally. Seems like if Logic gets confused by the different widths of the screens, like if it is behaving to have 1200 pixels to scroll on while there are 1920.
Whatever happens, it's kind of annoying...

Same problem for me.. Mini OS X 10.7.3 with standard keyboard and mouse. No solutions that I can see?

in response to upbeatpenguin
Having this same problem! Vertical scroll works perfectly. Horizontal centers back whenever it wants too. Very Annoying! Almost impossible to arrange regions precisely either in the main arrange or piano roll. Avid Logic user for the past 3 years and never had this problem...until I cleared and refresh my Imac 10.6.8 and reinstalled Logic Pro 9 w/ lasest updates.
Help! Anyone!

Proxy Falls is very difficult to shoot when there is a constant stream of mist flying at your lens. I was stoked to get something this time, since the last was unsuccessful.
*Thanks in advance for the comments and faves
nice image..
i love this place!
Very cool. I like the misty look, despite the challenge it presents.
Great! All those moss and spray. It's looking very wet, indeed.
This is so pristine!
Nice shot!

Ha! Love the derpy one on top.
Huh. Is it me or did you go through a bit of a style change? Or is it just the fact that you're using lines that threw me off?
I tend to jump styles a lot, usually when I get bored with coloring/finishing a certain way. It's fun to do different stuff.
Sweet. It's always great to see you draw animals & it's awesome to see you drew them in a new style!
those are the cutest sharks i have every seen

The BEST crate!
posted 8 years ago
We LOVE the Nylabone crates, and wouldn't think of using any other. We have them in 3 sizes - small, medium, and large.
The small one has a front door and a top door. It's Tippy's private space in the living room, and we use it to transport him in the car, too.
They conveniently fold down for storage, which is great, and are very easy to clean, too.
We wouldn't transport our dogs by plane, so I'm not sure how good they would be for that purpose. I think I might prefer a metal or non-collapsible one for that.
Pros: Lightweight, safe, folds down
Cons: None

Folds flat for easy storage
posted 8 years ago
These carriers are great for storage, they fold flat and sit on a shelf until you need them. There's plenty of room inside, especially if you travel with your cat. There's room for food and water bowls, and a small litter box.
Pros: Plenty or room for large cats/small dogs
Cons: Challenging to put back together

We've had ours since Max was a kitten
posted 6 years ago
We have used this to take Max to the vet and anywhere else he needs to go since he was a kitten. It has held up very well. The handle and door latches on the top have been strong enough to support the weight of the crate and Max. We have the smaller one that opens on top and in front, which is a great convenience. Max does not seem to mind being in the carrier and it is easy to carry. I also like that it folds up for easy storage. I would recommend this product.
Pros: durable, easy to clean. open on top and front
Cons: none

Have an older design
posted 7 years ago
I have an older design crate from Nylbone so maybe that atests to its durablity. However after leaving it unfolded for a long time it is kind of stuck in the unfolded position. The hinges can stick and the ventilation holes are so small as to make it hard to clean except by spraying and letting it dry which of course gets the hinges wet and starts them to rusting. Still all in all, I do like the crate.
Pros: fairly durable
Cons: cleaning can be hard

The name, and very little tailoring, is about all the Broncos would have to change with their No. 15 jerseys now that Tim Tebow is here and Brandon Marshall is not.
Tebow is as outsized in stature and celebrity at quarterback as Marshall is — with a bit of troubled twist — at receiver.
"I will wear whatever number they want me to wear," Tebow said. "If that's 15, I'll wear 15. If that's 95, I'll wear 95. I don't really care just as long as I can wear a Denver Broncos jersey."

I Have a KWA KM4 and I am going to put a 11.1v lipo battery in it. IMPORTANT - I need a small one that can fit in the buffer tube. I am using a MOSFET and I was wondering if it will hurt the gun to use a battery with over 1600 mAh.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but mAh stands for milliamps per hour. It's pretty much how much of a charge a battery can hold. It has no effect on how much voltage the battery is putting out.

I've also heard milliamper hours but that works too. But what would hurt the gun is the dump rate from the battery. I think the 11.1 Lipos have like a 20C dump rate? And a 9.6 Nicad or Nimh has a 10C dump rate I believe. But with a mosfet you should be fine.
I also just read in your other post that you wanted to put a Magpul stock on. In that case, what you should do is find a battery that works, and buy a second. That way if the first dies you have a back up. I can't remember who I stole that from.. One of the techs on here recommend that. GCW? I don't remember lol point is, get two of the same battery that you like that work well. A place I've heard works well is hobbyking.com They sell cheap batteries that work well.

The only issue I have with the lipo batteries that fit into the buffer tube, is that with a retractable stock, sometimes because of the length of the battery, plug & wires, you won't be able to fully retract your stock.

FinMin asks banks to get ready for 2nd phase of DBT scheme
New Delhi: With government set to launch the second phase of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme, Finance Ministry has asked PSU banks to put in place robust automated systems to ensure that the beneficiaries list does not undergo any changes.
"All banks...Need to have robust automated systems to ensure that there is no possibility of altering the original list of beneficiaries generated by the user department," the Department of Financial Services (DFS) circular to heads of public sector banks said.
It further said banks also need to ensure that a secure 'server to server' connectivity is operationalised with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) which will automatic download and execution of payment advise file and generate the return of file indicating status of transaction, among other things.
NPCI, an umbrella organisation for all retail payment systems, is conducting a pilot run with five banks for establishing secure server to server connectivity and is scheduled to be completed in this month.
The DFS further said banks also need operationalise connectivity with NPCI.
"Based on the work done by NPCI in the pilot...All banks must operationalise this by May, 2013," it added.
The second phase of ambitious DBT scheme is scheduled to operational from July 1 in the select districts spread across 19 states and two union territories. In first phase that started from January 1, 43 districts were identified for DBT transfer of 26 government schemes.
Banks would be required to strengthen the banking infrastructure, particularly in the areas so far not covered by the banking services.
Earlier, the Ministry had asked the banks to undertake focussed programme for issuance of debit cards, particularly to the beneficiaries under the various schemes, so that they are able to draw the benefit as per their convenience.
Banks have to seed Aadhaar Number into the bank account of the beneficiaries based on the details received from the district administration or concerned department.

When I test my android app, I log messages that show up on LogCat. But the messages drain out the top of the window quickly making it impossible to read them quickly enough.
How can I stop this?
There's a scroll lock in the logcat window that you can use to pause the printout for a moment.
To get complete logcat messages, you can redirect them to a file:
It depends somewhat on what you mean by "drain". If the problem is simply that messages are scrolling by too fast and you need to stop auto-scrolling to the bottom, you can pause this feature in the IDE (or in DDMS/Monitor). HOW you pause it depends on your IDE, in IntelliJ you can just click somewhere in the log output to place a cursor, and in Eclipse there is a button above the logcat window to pause the output scrolling (don't forget to turn it back on or you won't see new messages).
However, if your problem is that so much data is being logged that you cannot scroll up to see what you need even if scrolling is paused, you need to log less. This is because the Android logcat driver is a fixed-size 64KB circular memory buffer. So if you log enough data, it will begin to overwrite the older entries in the log and they will be gone before you've had a chance to read them.
There are some methods:
Why don't you filter the logcat, so it shows the things your are most interested in.
You can display only the tags you are interested in with the following syntax (using the adb tool from the command line - also available in the logcat view in Eclipse):
You can include as many TAG combinations as you want. Don't forget the *.s which silences all the rest.
I prefer teeing to a file:
This way you get whatever you think you're looking for in your terminal window, but if you need to look at the full logs you have them saved off in a file.

all cs haters rossi WAS stoner IS.
Simple fact is Stoner is the most successful racer in the 800 era(more wins than any other rider)Considering the passion of Rossi supporters and in light of the fact that he has been the most consistent rider in taking it up to Rossi (occasionally daring to say he may be wrong) is it a surprise a lot of fans DON'T like him?If anyone other than Rossi pulled off that move at the corkscrew (could they???) they would have gotten a black flag.
the man could be a legend,if he did,nt grizzle so much and let his riding do the talking.
Poety in motion
It would be good to see slow motion fottage of Rossi riding through a few corners . See how hard he riding the bike and how commited he is. I am a stoner fan and respect Lorenzo, they are both great riders, it was great to see that determination,last race.
Dear Phill46you are correct in that you did not say Ducati hated Casey Stoner.I over responded to your remark, mea culpa.However, your general hatred of Stoner does my head in. And you are re-inventing history. The Ducati was NEVER the best bike, it was once the fastest in a straight line and then Stoner rode the wheels off it. He complained that Preziosi (spelling?) never listened and indeed did Marco Melandri was also ignored.My point, Livvio S was happy to get Stoner into Repsol.If he could not set up a bike would that have happened?We see Stoner setting up a bike FASTER than anyone else out there right now.Undeniable.The issue with Ducati is Preziosi. He just builds them his way and they do not work. He has to go... I am a long time Ducati fan and rider. I have a desire to have Ducati do better, but I am not a Stoner hater nor a Rossi hater and I think you could get some balance. I may be a Preziosi hater... as I want him G O N E.
I don't care who you are but that is god damn awesome to watch. That must feel awesome. I'd love to have the skill to get the elbow down! I'm happy scuffing the Knee Sliders up 5 or 6 times a year at Eastern Creek! Go Son!!!
Beautiful to watch, the back wheel is spinning and still getting traction
Would love to see a video like that of a MotoGP rider backing the bike in - rear wheel in the air and starting to lean into the corner...
What about a vid of Stoner on the duc going into the gravel.
