Landfill Says No to Tree Stumps
(LeMars) -- Tree stumps are no longer welcome at the Plymouth County Landfill. That decision was made Wednesday evening by the Plymouth County Solid Waste Agency and its board of directors. Solid Waste Agency manager Mark Kunkel says it was a topic that garnered a lot of discussion at the board meeting, but because of the expense and growing concerns, the board approved the action to stop accepting tree stumps.
Listen here
Kunkel says the board looked into the cost of purchasing a machine that would grind the stumps, but at $70,000 it just would not be feasible.
Listen here
Kunkel says the county landfill's decision to stop accepting tree stumps is effective immediately.
(LeMars) -- Floyd Valley Hospital employees have made a donation to the LeMars Back Pack program. At their Christmas luncheon held Wednesday, a check was presented to Brenda Nohava from Mary Helen Gibson representing the Floyd Valley Hospital. Gibson says in past years Floyd Valley hospital would offer a gift to their employees, but many times the employees would refuse to accept the gift, and instead instruct the hospital to offer that gift to someone else. Gibson says it was through the generosity of the hospital employees that led the hospital to give the option to its employees.
Listen here
The check was in the amount of $930 or $10 per employee. Gibson says the donation represents about one-third of the hospital employees. She says some employees chose to accept the gift, but they also made a donation to the local charity. Gibson says it's not just at Christmas time that the hospital employees are generous. She says many local programs have benefitted from the employees' generosity throughout the entire year.
Listen here
For the past two years Floyd Valley employees have donated both money and their time for the "Then Feed Just One" project, and they have contributed can goods to the Christian Needs Center, and the employees have adopted a family in need.

Over the course of the entire year, the Floyd Valley Hospital employees have contributed more than $15,000 to various charitable organizations and events.
(Storm Lake) -- Following a joint cooperative investigation by the Sioux Rapids Police Department and the Buena Vista County Sheriff's office into several Sioux Rapids burglaries, a Sioux Rapids man has been charged. On December 21st, the Sioux Rapids Police Department arrested and charged Matthew Chindlund, age 19 of Sioux Rapids with two counts of burglary in the third degree, one count of burglary of a motor vehicle and one count of theft in the second degree. These charges consist of three class D felonies and one aggravated misdemeanor. A search warrant was executed yesterday by the Sioux Rapids police and the Buena Vista sheriff's office. Siezed in the search warrant were several items of stolen property from several area burglaries. Chindlund is currently in custody of the Buena Vista county jail on bond. The investigation is continuing.
(Storm Lake) -- The long-time Storm Lake police department office manager has been fired and charged with theft in connection with missing city funds. Public Safety director Mark Prosser says 43-year old Lee Martin of Storm Lake was arrested Tuesday in connection with an investigation that began earlier this month. On December 2nd, Prosser was notified of possible irregularities in funds transferred from the public safety office to city hall. On December 6th, Martin was placed on administrative leave and Prosser ordered an investigation. Police allege Martin had been taking cash from deposits transferred to city hall totaling over 12-thousand dollars in the past 12 months, and also altered receipts. Additional investigation is underway into previous years of cash transfers from Martin's office to city hall. Martin worked for the public safety department the past 21 years. Prosser says the very person charged with insuring the department's books were balanced and funds were appropriately transferred to city hall is the one who allegedly was circumventing the system. He termed it a very disappointing case of violation of the public's trust. Prosser says additional safeguards have been put into place to insure that similar incidents are prevented. Tuesday afternoon, Martin was charged with ongoing criminal conduct, and first-degree theft. Martin was jailed on a $35,000 bond and her employment with the city was terminated.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Gov. Terry Branstad says Iowa's gas tax will eventually increase but there will be enough money in the state's transportation budget to avoid an increase next year.
In an interview, the governor says he has asked transportation department officials to find $50 million in savings, and the department expects to have an extra $128 million for projects in 2012 because of favorable bids, budget savings and more federal funding.
Branstad says 2012 should be a robust year for road-building programs in Iowa.
He says he expects a gas tax increase "down the road" to support a projected $200 million annual shortfall.
Democratic State Sen. Matt McCoy, of Des Moines, says he expects lawmakers will push for a phased-in gas tax increase when they convene Jan. 9.

Nice job Lingon.
Just finished my first city map! It was a commission for the writer Marc Wilson, who I'm very, very grateful to for trusting me to make this map without any other cities in my portfolio. As always, ink and watercolors for the landscape/city, and Photoshop for the labels. The font is Roman Antique by Dieter Steffmann. I also used PS to assemble the cartouches, from painted and scanned sections.
Maybe you'll notice on the compass that the map is flipped That was a decision we made to be able to keep the shape from Marc's sketch, which was in a standing A format, but still make it a double page spread in the book. If I remember my cartography history correctly, it was during the renaissance that it became popular to orient maps with north up, so i guess this map was drawn right in the transition period
Nice job Lingon.
Nice map !
Very cool map! Especillay like the outskirt farms and that central harbor area. The difference in colors of the structures isn't clear to me, though... Is it supposed to be a different construction or denoting less importance? Just the lack of detail as compared to the brown rooves throws off my eye. Not a deal breaker, though, love this map!
That turned out beautifully! Great colors and layout. Sadly I cannot rep you at this time, but you get full marks in my book!
I'll rep you since Arsheesh can't! ( his rep is worth more points than mine, but better than nothing!)
Great map, love the layout.

Great job man, really surprised this is your first city map! Always enjoy the watercolour you have in your maps. Only thing that I can really that I can really say could be different is the asymmetry of the legend at the bottom. I would have preferred it to be centered and symmetrical, perhaps either by using a smaller font or making the frame bigger, but that's just me.
Thanks everyone, glad you like it! Didn't expect to get a rating of 5, that was a nice surprise this morning
@Smilesandgimps: You have a point about the different roofs… I was trying to show both lower significance and different roof type at once actually, but I should probably detail them a little more next time.
@A.Woods: I kinda like asymmetry But there is a thought behind it's placement/shape: I wanted to put all locations on the left side in the left cartouche and vice versa to make it easy to read the map, and there were more things on the right side and also more space in the sea to write on. And they are sort of centered, they have equal distance to the center measured from the inner edge of the cartouches
I like the streets! Chaotic in the older sections of the town and more ordered in the newer sections. The story I read into it is the age of the city which started at the ocean's edge and grew from there.
Wow, nice work
Maybe the building outlines could use improvement, but I like the colors.
Strange compass flip
The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.

BALTIMORE (AP) - One Baltimore quarterback will be portraying another in a movie that's scheduled to start shooting this summer.
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco says he'll play the part of Johnny Unitas, the former Baltimore Colts quarterback, in an upcoming movie entitled "Unitas We Stand."
The movie is being co-produced by Joe Unitas, the late quarterback's son.
He tells WBAL-TV that Flacco will portray Unitas in scenes of the 1958 NFL championship game, in which Unitas led the Colts to victory over the New York Giants. The game at Yankee Stadium ended in sudden-death overtime and is widely considered a football classic.
Flacco, whose Ravens won the Super Bowl in February, said on Twitter that he's excited by the opportunity.
Filming is scheduled to start this summer.

Navy officials say one of the people killed in a Colorado movie theater shooting was a Navy veteran.
Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello says 26-year-old Jonathan T. Blunk of Aurora, Colo., served three tours of duty between 2004 and 2009.
Military officials have also identified two active service members, 27-year-old Navy sailor John Larimer of Crystal Lake, Ill. and 29-year-old Air Force Reservist Jesse Childress Thornton, Colo., as two the 12 victims.
Larimer was a Navy cryptologist at nearby Buckley Air Force Base. Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Jakuboski says four other sailors were at the theater, including one who was injured and treated at the scene.
Air Force officials say Childress was a cyber-systems operator based at Buckley. Another Air Force airman from the base was wounded during the shooting.

Germain Declares Future Looks Bright As Team Celebrates the 2010 Championship with Todd Bodine After 4th Finish at Homestead
Posted by: lori on Dec 14, 2010
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing , GEICO Racing , GEICO , Bob Germain
Homestead, FL (11-19-2010) – Friday night, Todd Bodine put the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra where it has been so many times this season – at the front of the field. He led 18 laps and finished fourth in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The scenario might sound familiar to fans of Germain Racing and Todd Bodine as the No. 30 Tundra has led laps in 14 races this season and finished in the top-five on 17 occasions, including four victories. When the checkered flag waved the 2010 season to a close after 134 laps of racing at Homestead, the focus for Bodine and Germain Racing turned from winning races to celebrating a great season and their second NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship.
"Year after year, we consistently win and run up front. It shows the character of this Germain Racing team and what it's about. To do this year in, year out it shows the character and what we're all about. We never give up. We've had turnover in five years, but Mike Hillman Jr. (crew chief) and Mike Hillman Sr. (General Manager) have a knack for finding good people. We've lost good people and they find good people to replace them. In five years we never faltered, we never gave up. Last year, we should've given up, but we didn't, and here we are, champions again," said Bodine, who is the third driver in Truck Series history to earn multiple titles as well as the third driver to have clinched his title before the season ended
Team owner Bob Germain Jr. explained that this championship, certainly had a different feel than their first title win in 2006.
"In 2006 we were in a position where we were almost expected to win the championship. In 2009, we raced on a week to week basis and I really don't think it worked very well. So, when we started 2010, we made a commitment to the team that we were going to run for a championship. We made the commitment to run every race. From that point, Todd, Mike Jr. and the guys took over and got it done," explained Bob Germain, team owner of Germain Racing. "We weren't expected to win in 2010. But these guys worked so hard every week. We went to the track each week with the best stuff we've had in a long time. Mike Hillman Jr. worked through so much this season with personal issues and his injury, but Todd and Mike stayed focused, worked hard every week and I appreciate it. This championship…Mike Jr. had a lot to do with it, I think."
Bodine agreed with Germain but crew chief Hillman Jr. clarified that the results of this season were the result of a combined effort of team and driver.
"I'm the lucky guy that gets called a crew chief. I'm blessed to be surrounded by the people that I'm surrounded by. Todd drives his butt off every week and gives us 110 percent. It's amazing what we've accomplished. We weren't sure where Germain Racing was headed when we left Homestead last year. Bob, Steve and Rick told us to go get another championship. They put their faith in us, and we were able to do what they asked for. It's really awesome to be able to sit here and do this again," explained Hillman Jr. "My guys on the 30 truck, they poured their heart into every truck we built this season. The pit stops this season were nothing short of amazing and we had great support from people who work at the shop at Germain Racing. This championship is because of all their hard work and I appreciate it."
Bodine talked about the sense of pride in racing a truck bearing the Germain name.
"We're proud to be able to go out every week and represent the Germain family with Germain Motor Company on the side of that truck. To be able to come out of here champions, there's nothing better than for us to be able to do that for them," explained Bodine.
Team owner Steve Germain summarized the season expressing confidence that the celebration of this second Truck Series championship will not be the last of successes that Germain Racing will celebrate.
"We know the mistakes we made in 2009 and we didn't repeat those in 2010. There's no reason for us to go back to doing anything but having a championship team again next year. We've got a lot of momentum and we've got a great team. So next year I think you'll see us do even better," explained Germain. "I've never seen a team so determined as the 30 Tundra team this season. They were on a mission. Well, mission accomplished."
Germain Racing scored four wins, 17 top five and 20 top ten finishes in the 2010 season. By winning four races, they became the second team in Truck Series history to earn multiple wins for seven consecutive seasons.

I purchase this as a craft for princess themed party it was very nice quality but should have included other decorating items like gems or glitter pieces. All items included where the same colors and material as the crown. So I had to go out and purchase more items to give the children more personal expression choices

Montbell Ex Light Down Jacket
$160 | www.montbell.com | 5 Stars
Montbell's Ex Light Down Jacket weighs less than that cheap, tissue-thin short-sleeve T-shirt you scored at Country Jam and may be the lightest-weight insulated jacket ever made. Tipping the scales at a mere 5.4 ounces and stuffed with 1.8 ounces of 900-fill goose down, the Ex Light is literally featherweight, yet warm enough for the needs of most folks, most of the time. I wore it this past winter in Colorado for mixed and ice climbing, and as my everyday town and work coat, and can report that it kept me toasty in the 20 to 25-degree F range, which is just about right for everything except serious mountaineering.
Its secret? For one, this thing is so minimalist it would give a Trappist monk morning wood. There's no pocket, no hood, and the cuffs are simple bands of elastic. A sewn-through construction eliminates weighty baffles and keeps the price reasonable. The fabric is a trick "Ballistic Airlight" that weights just 1.1 ounces per square meter, and, due to a strange and wonderous thread-shingling process, is "down proof" due to its DWR treatment that helps keep the down dry in a light sprinkle. All that fancy jargon aside, it really is a great jacket. Often, I have it on and, snug and warm, I don't even realize it.
—Duane Raleigh

You do modular arithmetic several times every day when you are thinking about time. Imagine, for example, you're going on a train trip at 11pm that lasts three hours. What time will you arrive? Not at 11+3 = 14 o'clock, but at 2 o'clock in the morning. That's because, on a 12-hour clock, you start counting from the beginning again after you get to 12. (On a 24-hour clock, you start again after you get to 24.) So, on a 12-hour clock you have:
4 + 9 = 1,
and so on. When you are subtracting hours, you do the same but backwards:
4 - 7 = 9
You could play the same game using other numbers, apart from 12 and 24, to define your cycle. For example, in modular arithmetic modulo 5 you have
4 + 2 = 1
These sums can be a little tedious to work out if you're counting on your fingers, but luckily there is a general method. Let's say you're doing arithmetic modulo some natural number p and you're looking at some other natural number x. To find the value of x modulo p (the value of x on a clock with p hours), compute the remainder when dividing x by p: that's your result.
This also works when x is negative (noting that the remainder is defined to be always positive). For example, for p = 12 and x = -3 we have
-3 = (-1) x 12 + 9,
so the remainder is 9. Therefore -3 modulo 12 is equal to 9. (If you use the modulus function in some computer languages you have to be a little careful though, as some return a different value for negative numbers.)
If you want to add or subtract two numbers module some natural number p, you simply work out the result, call it x, in ordinary arithmetic and then find the value of x modulo p.
There is clearly something very cyclical about modular arithmetic. Whatever number p defines your arithmetic, you can think of it as counting forward or backward in clock with p hours. To put this in technical maths language, modular arithmetic modulo p gives you a cyclic group of order p. You can find out more about group theory in this article and about modular arithmetic on our sister site NRICH.

One way to start getting your head around groups, those slightly scary abstract structures that belong to the field of algebra, is to think of a 12-hour clock. You can add hours on this clock, for example
2 o'clock + 4 hours = 6 o'clock 8 o'clock + 5 hours = 1 o'clock 3 o'clock + 12 hours = 3 o'clock
and so on. One thing to notice here is that however many hours you add, the answer is always going to be a number between 1 and 12. In this sense, addition on a 12-hour clock is closed: it never gets you out of the 1 to 12 land.
Another thing to notice is that adding 12 hours gets you back to where you started (it's the same as doing nothing): for any starting time a, we have
a + 12 = a.
This is why you could equally well write 0 for the number 12 in our clock-world.
A third interesting feature is that when you have added some number a of hours, you can get back to where you started by adding another 12 - a hours. For example, starting at 1 o'clock and adding 7 gives
1 + 7 = 8.
and then adding another 12 - 7 = 5 hours gives
8 + 5 = 1.
So adding a and then 12 - a is the same as doing nothing (or, equivalently, adding 12).
Taking a small step into abstraction, we can describe our 12-hour arithmetic as follows. We have a set S (which consists of the numbers 1 to 12) and a binary operation that combines any two elements of S to give a third (the operation is addition modulo 12 in our example). The set and the operation satisfy the following three rules:
There is also a fourth rule satisfied by our set and operation:
Move the slider to rotate the 12-gon.
There are many other structures that also satisfy these rules. As an example, think of a regular 12-gon, as the one pictured on the left. You can rotate this shape clockwise around its centre by 30 degrees and what you end up with is the same shape as the one you started with. The rotation is a symmetry of the 12-gon. Now let our set S consist of all the clockwise rotations through multiples of 30 degrees. So that's 30 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, etc, all the way up to 330 degrees and, finally, the full turn. (All of these are symmetries of the 12-gon.) Think of adding two rotations as doing one after the other: so the rotation through 60 degrees plus the rotation through 90 degrees equals the rotation through 150 degrees.
This structure forms a group. Addition is closed because when you follow one clockwise rotation through a multiple of 30 degrees by another, the result is also a clockwise rotation through a multiple of 30 degrees. There's also an identity element, namely the rotation through 360 degrees. For every rotation there is an inverse rotation, so that combining the two is the same as doing the identity rotation. For example, the inverse of the rotation through 30 degrees is the rotation through 330 degrees.
In general, a group is a set S of elements together with a binary operation that satisfies the four rules above. Our two examples here are finite groups in that the set S has finitely many elements. But there are also infinite groups. You can try to convince yourself that the set of whole numbers (including the negative ones) with the operation of addition forms an infinite group.
It's interesting to note that two groups can consist of different objects and involve different operations but still have the same structure. By an unbelievably lucky coincidence, the two groups we have seen so far are an example of this. In our clock face example above, adding one hour corresponds to turning the clock hand clockwise through a twelfth of a turn — that's 30 degrees. Adding b hours corresponds to turning the hand through b twelfths of a full turn — that's b x 30 degrees. In fact, the elements of the clock face group (the numbers 1 to 12) behave under their modular addition in exactly the same way as the elements of our 12-gon rotation group do under their own notion of addition. If, in our clock face group, a + b = c, then you know immediately that in the rotation group the rotation through a x 30 degrees followed by the rotation through b x 30 degrees gives the rotation through c x 30 degrees. And vice versa. The two groups are said to be isomorphic. (See here for a technical definition.) Mathematicians often find that a group that arises in one context is isomorphic to a group they know from a very different context.
This table represents a group called the Klein 4-group.
This is why it can make sense to think of a group, not as made up of rotations or numbers or some other explicit type of objects, but as a collection of abstract objects (we can use letters to denote these objects) that combine in a particular way under the binary operation. You can keep track of how they combine in a table, such as the one on the left. To see the result of the sum f + g, find the cell corresponding to row f and column g. Its entry is h, so f + g = h. The symbol e in this table stands for the group identity.
The group described by this table is known as the Klein 4-group. It's isomorphic to the symmetry group of a rectangle, writing e for the identity symmetry (doing nothing), f for the reflection in the horizontal axis, g for the reflection in the vertical axis and h for the rotation through 180 degrees. Using this abstract representation, you can describe groups that are isomorphic, even if they arise in very different contexts, in one go. That's the power of abstraction!

A solar eclipse observed in Australia in 2012. Image: Davidfntau.
On Friday March 20, between around 9:25 GMT and 10:41 GMT, people in the UK will be able to witness a partial eclipse of the Sun! It's the first one since the total eclipse in 1999 and there won't be another one until 2026.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun, blotting parts of it out and casting its shadow on the Earth. Some parts on the Earth will see a total eclipse, in which the Moon completely blocks the Sun, giving a great view of its outer atmosphere called the corona.
On Friday only a narrow path a few hundred kilometres wide will see a total eclipse. The only two landmasses in that path are the Faroe Islands and the arctic archipelago of Svalbard. In the UK the Sun will only be partially obscured to varying degrees: Edinburgh will see 93% of the Sun blotted out, Lerwick in the Shetland Isles 97%, and London 85%. In London the eclipse will start at 8:25GMT, peak at 9:31GMT and end at 10:41. Times vary slightly in other parts of the UK, with things happening earlier the further West or South you are.
The geometry of an eclipse. In the region called the umbra, bounded by the small yellow circle, people see a total eclipse. In the penumbra, bounded by the larger yellow circle, people see a partial eclipse.
But even when the eclipse is only partial, there are still interesting things to look out for. You might see dark spots on the Sun — sunspots — which are caused by the magnetic field of the Sun dimming its light output. You might also be able to observe the outline of the Moon's surface, with its mountains and valleys. If you're somewhere where the sunlight passes through tree foliage, you'll see lots of images of the eclipse projected on the ground and other things around you, as the holes in the foliage act as pin hole cameras.
Pinhole images on a car during the 1998 eclipse in Guadeloupe.
It's really important that you don't look at the Sun directly, not even while it is being eclipsed, as this can seriously damage your eyes. Even sunglasses aren't good enough protection. But even if you haven't got specially produced eclipse viewing glasses, chances are there is something in your house that will help you view it. A colander and a piece of paper, for example. Standing with your back to the Sun, let the light pass through the colander onto the paper to see lots of images of the eclipsed Sun appear. You could also use a mirror to reflect the light onto a wall, or build your own pinhole camera. See this lovely booklet, produced by the Royal Astronomical Society, to find out more.
Now all we need is a clear sky!

England's Metisse Motorcycles is building a replica of the Desert Racer it made for Steve McQueen in 1966. Housing a reconditioned Triumph TR6 engine in a custom, oil-bearing steel cradle frame, the bike is specced the same as McQueen's personal bike: BSA yokes, battleship grey bodywork, Amal components. It looks like a neat scrambler for casual dirt riding, but its spec, price and heavy-handed use of McQueen's name leaves us cold.
While we understand that it was necessary to associate the new bike
with its old rider, the constant reassertion of the link complete with
a reproduced autograph on the tank and the use of McQueen's endorsement
-- "This rig is the best handling bike I've ever owned" -- just makes us
think of the meaningless endorsements of vacuous modern celebrities.
Combine that with the drum brakes front and rear, the £13,000 price,
the limited production run (300 units) and the precise level of
recreation and we're afraid that what we have here is a bike that's
going to sit in a collector's living room, not something that's going
to be ridden. That's a shame, because it looks like the Desert Racer
achieves something the similar, but modernized, Triumph Scrambler
doesn't: performance.
Metisse (Thanks for the tip, David)

Robert Elmer Balaban was born on Aug. 16, 1945, into a show business family of sorts. His father and uncles were founders of Balaban and Katz Theaters, a large chain of beautiful, classic era movie theaters in the Chicago area. Yet another uncle served as the president of Paramount Pictures for nearly three decades. Balaban himself was interested in the world of entertainment from the time he was a young boy and began making short films with his father's 8mm movie camera. By the time he was a teenager, he was performing comedy with the influential Second City theater troupe; eventually moving on to study at the New York University Film School.

I am curious about the j2me client's status and future. I ask so that we can make informed decisions on future mobile platform decisions.
Is there a roadmap/timeline for GA, and for what phones? What is the current consensus on the stability of the client? Is there much demand for the j2me client (read: Is the j2me client here to stay)?
I searched around the Zimbra site but couldn't find much official information, and it doesn't seem that the j2me client is included in the product management portal (pm.zimbra.com).

The most popular of the Taylor body shapes, delivering the unique design and modern sound for which Taylor is known
Traditional body shape that's well-suited for flatpicking and rhythmic playing
Deeper low-end response than the Taylor Grand Auditorium, due to a wider waist and lower bout
Found in Taylor's 500 Series, tropical mahogany is a good place to start a tonewood discussion. With its thick, present midrange, mahogany offers a well-balanced, traditional sound well-suited to blues and other "rootsy" styles. It's an an ideal starting point for players who aren't sure what tone they're looking for.
Indian rosewood is found in Taylor's 700, 800, and 900 Series. This classic tonewood takes the sonic signature of mahogany and expands it in both directions, yielding deeper lows and brighter highs with a more scooped midrange. Its high-end sparkle will benefit players who naturally have a darker playing tone.
Big Leaf Maple lends a bright sound to Taylor 600 Series guitars. A dense hardwood with an extremely focused tone, maple-bodied guitars cut through a mix well, making them well-suited for live performance with a band. Maple is a great choice for lead players who require clean articulation with a somewhat quick note decay.
Prized for its spectacular patterned appearance, Hawaiian koa delivers a tonal blend between maple and mahogany. Koa is employed as a top wood or body wood on Taylor's Koa series -- models that start with K. This tropical hardwood initially produces a bright tone that becomes richer and warmer the more it's played.

Ready girls? We're about to show you how to get those bodacious buns you've been seeing all over the runways and on the tele. Big, voluminous, larger-than-life hair buns (what did you think we were talking about, naughty girl?) used to be reserved for girls with long and thick hair. But thanks to the clever use of a simple tube sock, girls with fine or shorter hair can also rock this ballerina-babe hairstyle. Take a look at our picture tutorial below and we'll show you how GoJane Writer, Emily turned her teeny-weenie, sad bun into a pumped up masterpiece. No
steroids professional hairstylist required!
You'll need: hairspray, a comb, an elastic hair band, scissors, bobby pins and a long tube sock.
Tips: the longer the sock, the bigger the bun. Choose a sock that best matches your hair color for better blending.
Cut off the toe-end of the sock.
Roll the sock into itself until it looks like a donut.
Gather your hair into a ponytail at the very top of your head & secure tightly with the elastic hair band.
Wrap the sock donut around the tip of your ponytail.
Secure your hair to the sock donut by wrapping the end of your ponytail around the donut and tucking it into the center.
Start rolling the donut down with your hair, while spreading your hair around the exposed parts of the sock.
Keep rolling until your bun is sitting on top of your head. Spread your hair around to cover any part of the sock that is still visible.
Tip: this is where choosing a sock similar to your hair color comes in handy.
Use bobby pins to secure the bun to your head.
Spray lightly with hairspray & smooth down flyaways with your fingertips.
Voila! Now you can rock big-ass buns without anyone knowing you're a sock stuffer!
Give the sock bun technique a whirl and let us know how it worked out for you!

Nyuck Nyuck....
Posted 04 January 2013 - 08:18 PM
Rather than just plugging it in and switch it on when it's been sitting a long time unused, you plug it into a variac transformer and slowly bring up the voltage over a day or so to Rejuvinate the capacitors. But some wont form correctly coz they are too dried out and old and blow anyhow. The usual procedure is to replace all the electrolytic capacitors, check for burnt or open resistors and check the transistors and that fixes 90% of the usual problems with such things.
Your smoke came from the Main unit, not the hand controller right?
Posted 04 January 2013 - 10:40 PM
I pulled the covers off mine and took a look, I would think it should cost less than $20 dollars in parts to fix it, maybe $25 ish if both the power transistors are blown.
The hand controller has a 12v adjustable oscillator made from small signal transistors and ought to be just fine. It pulses 12v through the two power transistors into a transformer that steps it up to near line voltage to drive the motor. I can fix it if no one is closer to you as I'm an electronics tech if you want.
If you have a small phillips screwdriver, unplug the power cord from the wall and pull the main box's lid to see if you can see one of the 3 grey electrolytic capacitors bulged or leaking and if one or more of the three black rectifier diodes have burned.
Hopefully the orangeish large power resistor next to and below the diodes is unburnt as it goes to the power transistors. Also, check the handbox plug to make sure a wire isnt loose or shorted at the plug. the plug cap unscrews if you want to check it but be gentle, dont force it if it's stuck. Has the fuse blown or is it intact?
Posted 05 January 2013 - 11:24 AM
What I have found is about 90% of the time on these type of drive correctors is that one of the power transistors has gone bad and is now shorted to ground. This causes all the current to be dumped into the secondary of the transformer, which causes things to heat up and then let the smoke out.
The other common problem is that a wire breaks in the hand controller. The hand controller contains parts which form the oscillating circuit. If the circuit doesn't oscillate what happens is one power transistor is turn on all the time and again all the current is now flowing thru the secondary of the transformer and things get hot.
As Dgreyson sugguests pull the cover off and see what looks damaged and if you can post some pictures I'm sure that we can get a good idea of what went wrong and how to repair it.
All the Best,
- Dave

I admit I dont know a resistor from a Flux-Capacitor!
I am recovering from my 6th surgery after getting hit by a car, then getting Staff infection,and a Hear attack after a surgery and I threw a blood clot. I thought it would be a good time to have it looked at. I'll try and dig it out.
BTW dont laugh about the Dynamax, it has superb optics!
Posted 05 January 2013 - 02:54 PM
If it isn't working off the battery then it the odds are low that it will work off the 110 VAC house current since all the rectifier circuit does is take the 110AC and make 12 volt DC, just like the battery is providing. When you hook it up to the battery the rectifier section is out of the circuit.
Anybody got a schematic ? The guys at Criterion were pretty smart and they also got many of their ideas from the literature of the day so I bet the circuit is pretty close to the Saxon circuit publish in Jan 1975 Sky and Tel.

Larry packed it up and sent to me and when it arrived I pulled the cover of the unit and took a look. Larry had said that as soon as he plugged it in that it smoked. It didn't take long to see what part had fried. It was the power resistor. Actually it cracked in half it got so hot. Here is a picture showing it still installed in the circuit.

So with the transistors out of the circuit I powered up the unit. The rectifier section had no problems and was making 16 volts of clean DC.
The next day I brought the hand contoller into work so I could use the test equipment in my lab. I dissassembled the unit to see what was going on. I flipped over the circuit board and discovered the another resistor was cooked and broken in half. This thing took a real hard hit. Luckly I was able to take the pieces of the resistor and look at them under a microscope and was able to see the what was left of the color coding strips that determine it value. It was 680 ohm and the one right next was also of the same value. I replaced both of them.
Here is a picture of the back of the circuit board and the inside of the case showing were the resistor had burned the paint off the inside of the box and the two new resistors installed on the board.

Dave, you are the epitome of the classic forum! You certainly have given good advise to me.
Congrats Larry,
I'm sure Dave won't stop until the controller is better than new!
Posted 19 January 2013 - 12:39 PM
The problem is that the transistor (2SB187) used are vintage Japanese germanium units that at one time were very commonly used in radios but not any more. Luckily EBAY comes to the rescue and I found a cheap source there. So when they arrive I'll replace them and I hope that will get this section up and running.

Dave you really know what you are doing!
There are people in this world I admire, People loke Dave, also Guys that can do Body Work. I've tried and it come out looking like someone threw a handfull of mud on the fender...
Thanks again Dave.. Like you I also Love Criterion I have a great old RV6!
The DX6 Dynamax that tracker came with has outstanding optics, and is in mint "cosmetic" condition. Like that Dyna Track is.. Sure was a lot of smoke coming out of that thing.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 05:23 PM
So can anyone who has one of these unit please take the cover off the hand controller and take some close up shots so I can read the values of the parts and also turn the circuit board over and take a picture of it. It would be of great help in getting this unit repaired and back to Larry. I have traced the circuit and will post it once I get it working so others might be able to repair their unit in the future.
Many thanks,
- Dave
Posted 31 January 2013 - 07:04 PM
Hope someone steps up with the info ya really need!
Posted 01 February 2013 - 09:25 AM
The Criterion E-6 unit is 100% transistor based. It most likely was designed and built in Japan under contract to Criterion. The transistor based Flip/Flop as it is now doesn't make any sense and of course isn't working. I'm sure that either it was built wrong are some component(s) were not installed.
- Dave
Posted 01 February 2013 - 11:14 PM
Anyway, in the 1970 article, there's more discussion about the first corrector diagram in a 1968 S&T Gleanings article. So maybe, you are running into some transistor based flip-flop issues that were later corrected. Or, maybe something isn't properly grounded? Grounding has gotten me once or twice in electronic circuits and I'm sure you've checked, but a reminder doesn't hurt

Men and women have been rocketing into space from the Earth's surface for the past half-century — long enough that much of the general public now views space missions as relatively safe, rote endeavors. Sure, inconceivably complex and technically nuanced projects like setting an SUV-sized state-of-the art roving laboratory on the surface of Mars — without breaking it — can still grab the world's attention. For countless people, however, when it comes to manned missions like the discontinued Space Shuttle program or flights to and from the International Space Station, the thrill is long gone.
But the business of space exploration is not, and has never been, safe. Explosions, fires, parachute failures and other disasters have left scores of astronauts, cosmonauts, test pilots and crew workers dead and wounded through the years. Some (Challenger and Columbia, for example) are spectacular, terrifying catastrophes. Others are smaller, quieter calamities — but for anyone involved who survives, injured or not, the experiences are life-changing.
Here, LIFE.com recalls one of the worst disasters in NASA's history — and its first public tragedy — when astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee died in a fire inside their command module on a Cape Canaveral launchpad on Jan. 27, 1967. As TIME's Jeffrey Kluger (the author of Apollo 13) once wrote, when commemorating the three astronauts:
Test pilots can sense straightaway if they're working with a good vehicle or a bad one, and the Apollo 1 crew . . . knew almost immediately that they'd been assigned to a stinker. By late 1966, the last of the sturdy, two-man Gemini spacecraft had flown, and NASA was rolling out the three-man Apollo ships that would, at last, carry men to the moon. The spacecraft were sweet-looking machines, but in test-runs on the pad, they were a mess. The electrical system fritzed, the communications died, repairs and upgrades were late in coming. . . . Most worrisome, however, was NASA's insistence on continuing to use 100% pure oxygen in its atmospheric systems — an explosively flammable gas that had worked fine so far in the Mercury and Gemini ships but that could burn like gasoline in the presence of so much as an errant spark . . . Early one Friday evening, when the Apollo 1 astronauts were locked down in the spacecraft for a practice session out on the pad, just such a spark got loose from a frayed wire next to Grissom's seat. In less than a minute, all three men were dead. For a while, it seemed, the Apollo program would perish too.
The program, of course, survived, and less than three years after the 1967 launchpad fire, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins flew Apollo 11 to the moon and back — leaving human footprints on the lunar surface — in what some consider the signature triumph of the 20th century.

What should I be doing instead of this?

Stage Door: Spaghetti, Macbeth and More
Last night I was at the Cincinnati Playhouse for the opening of I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, a charming one-woman play based on Giulia Melucci's foodie memoir from 2009. The frame of the show is that it's set in a stylish kitchen where actress Antoinette LaVecchia prepares a meal while sketching out her numerous disconnects in search of love, feeding boyfriends but finding herself starving. Four couples pay a bit more ($35 apiece beyond the ticket price) to sit at tables directly in front of her kitchen where she serves antipasti, salad and spaghetti Bolognese that she prepares as she talks about a series of amusing but unpromising relationships, convincingly painting portraits of her ill-fated choice in men. La Vecchia is so natural in the role (which she originated in 2012 and has played at several regional theaters since then) that you'll feel like you're one of her best friends. Running through Oct. 26, this Shelterhouse production gets a Critic's Pick. Tickets ($30-$75): 513-421-3888I also thoroughly enjoyed New Edgecliff Theatre's production of The Little Dog Laughed (at Hoffner Hall, 4120 Hamilton Ave., Northside). The four-actor comedy by Douglas Carter Beane is about Diane, an acerbic agent, and Mitch, the actor whose career she's advancing. He's found a boyfriend he really likes (even though boyfriend is a male prostitute with a girlfriend), but she's convinced that this news could ruin his chances … and hers. Kemper Florin is a hoot as the motor-mouthed agent, spouting all sorts of crazy theories about how things should be in monologues that directly address the audience. The entire cast does a fine job, and I gave this one a Critic's Pick. Tickets ($20-$27): 888-428-7311 Area universities have two classics to offer. At UC's College-Conservatory of Music in a brief weekend run (through Sunday) it's Shakespeare's classic tragedy, Macbeth. In an unusual twist, the production features third-year female drama student Laura McCarthy as the power-mad military man who seizes the throne of Scotland. Tickets ($27-$31): 513-556-4183 … South of the Ohio River, Northern Kentucky University presents Euripides' The Bacchae, a play first performed in 405 B.C. The tale of power, revenge, decadence and debauchery takes place in Thebes, where citizens are torn between worship of the god Dionysus and the centrality of reason and humanism. Sunday will be the conclusion of a two-week run of the production. Tickets ($14): 859-572-5464 The musical Dirty Dancing, based on a hit movie from 1987 about young love at a family resort in the Catskills, wraps up two weeks of performance at the Aronoff Center. The touring production, presented by Broadway in Cincinnati through Sunday, features some dazzling video and lots of dancing. The story is pretty predictable, but it's one that people love. "Don't put Baby in the corner." Tickets ($39-$89): 513-621-2787

Stage Door: Options Abound
You'll have to pick and choose this weekend because there's so much theater onstage. In addition to our professional theaters, it's worth checking out production at universities: Tonight through Sunday, CCM's esteemed musical theater program is offering the cult favorite Chess, with music by ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The story is set in Bangkok and Budapest during a mid-1970s world chess championship — and it's driven by gamesmanship between nations, between lovers and, of course, between chess players. I saw the opening on Thursday, and it's a BIG show with a gigantic cast. Several leading roles are double cast (with more juniors than seniors, in fact, which bodes well for CCM productions for this season and next). In particular, Matthew Paul Hill, playing the Russian grand master Anatoly, lifted the roof of Corbett Auditorium with his powerful baritone voice singing the stirring "Anthem," the Act 1 finale. Tickets ($30) Box office: 513-556-4183. At Northern Kentucky University you'll a production of Royal Gambit by German playwright Hermann Gressieker (translated into English in the late 1950s). The subject is King Henry VIII and his six wives, and this looks to be a beautifully costumed show, featuring senior Seth Wallen in the leading role. Tickets ($14). Box office: 859-572-5464. Neil Simon's funny and endearing Brighton Beach Memoirs is onstage at the Cincinnati Playhouse. I gave it a Critic's Pick (review here), and I'm sure audiences will love this sweet portrait of growing up in Brooklyn in the 1930s, where a loving but fractious family copes with hard times. It's told from the perspective of Eugene, a precocious adolescent (he's really Simon as a 15-year-old), who takes notes on his family's behavior. Well acted and beautifully staged. Box office: 513-421-3888l. My schedule hasn't permitted me to see several shows that are getting good notices, including recognition from the folks evaluating productions for the League of Cincinnati Theatres. I'm catching up this evening with Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, which is offering two shows this month. Romeo & Juliet is its mainstage show, and Sara Clark is getting high marks for her portrait of romantic but tragic young love. Brian Phillips' staging picked up an LCT nod, and the show received an overall recommendation from LCT. On the evenings when R&J is not onstage, there's another Shakespeare work for thrill seekers, specially selected and staged for the Halloween season: the bloody, gory tale of revenge, Titus Andronicus. Veteran actor Nick Rose plays a crazed Roman general, and just about everyone I've heard from says his performance is memorable. (It earned him an LCT nomination, too.) Box office: 513-381-2273. This weekend is the final one for Mrs. Mannerly at Ensemble Theatre. When Harper Lee reviewed this one for CityBeat (review here), she gave it a Critic's Pick, and I agree wholeheartedly. (LCT named it a recommended production, too.) CEA Hall of Fame actress Dale Hodges is great fun to watch as a strict etiquette teacher in 1967, and Raymond McAnally plays all the other characters — a bunch of kids who are learning how to behave in a "mannerly" way. It's funny from start to finish, but there's a heart-warming message within the story. Definitely worth seeing. Box office: 513-421-3555. At Clifton Performance Theatre, Clifton Players are staging A Bright New Boise, which also picked up an LCT recommendation. I haven't seen it, but the show won an Obie Award (that's for outstanding off-Broadway plays) in 2011, and it has a strong cast. This is a newish venue that's specializing in "storefront theater." Should be worth supporting. Tickets ($20): 513-861-7469.

Stage Door: Shark Eat Muffin and Playhouse
OK, so it's MidPoint weekend and I know you're busy running from bar to bar and band to band, but variety is the spice of life, right? So wouldn't you enjoy it all the more if you took in a show, just to break up the monotony of all that great music? Here are a couple of theatrical ideas. Shark Eat Muffin is a new Cincinnati theater company — with a name that sounds like a band! They're breaking onto our local theater scene with three short plays they're calling Just Beyond Reach. For one ticket ($10 in advance, $15 at the door) you'll get into Newport's Monmouth Theatre (636 Monmouth St.) to see Abbie Doyle's It's a Real Shame, David H. Hughes Acapulco and Catie O'Keefe's The Noise Maker. This is mostly young talent, so it's your chance to catch the theater equivalent of the up-and-coming Midpoint bands: Doyle is a senior at McAuley High School, Hughes is a recent UC theater arts grad and O'Keefe is New Edgecliff Theatre's young playwright-in-residence (and Shark Eat Muffin's artistic director). Their scripts are derived from the theme of "just beyond reach," one of several suggestions posted on the company's Facebook page two months ago. Sounds like fun: performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Tickets: www.sharkeatmuffin.com. The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park just opened its first Shelterhouse production of the season, Daniel Beaty's Through the Night. It's a one-man show that Beaty wrote and performs — it's already won an Obie Award in New York City (that's "OB" as in Off-Broadway). He plays six African-American males whose lives intertwine during the course of one night. It's an exploration of the place of such men in America today, especially how they influence one another. I chatted with Beaty about his play in my CityBeat column this week, and I expect this to be a thought-provoking performance. Box office: 513-421-3888. If you want something more tried-and-true, head to the Northern Kentucky University campus for You Can't Take It With You, a Pulitzer Prize winning comedy from 1937. It's about the wacky but endearing Sycamore family and the oddball characters who fill their lives. It's truly a comic masterpiece, with lots of opportunity for actors to make their mark. Box office: 859-572-5464.

Stage Door: Last Call for Summer
OK, it's the last day of August and the last true weekend of summer. That typically means there's almost no theater, since most of the stages in town are readying their season openers. But you do have a few choices: At the Clifton Performance Theatre you can see the last few performances of Nothing, a production brought back from this year's Cincinnati Fringe Festival. It's a one-man show about bullying and autism, told with lots of illustrative video. It was a popular item during the Fringe in June, so it's certainly worth checking out. Tickets: 513-861-7469. Another Fringe-like option this weekend is a mash-up of OTR Improv and True Theatre, happening at Know Theater, which is kind of like the crazy uncle of these two groups that make the Over-the-Rhine venue their home. On Saturday evening at 8 p.m., they'll present another installment of The Chronicle, a long-form improvisation based on the real-life stories of special guests. Dave Levy and Jeff Groh, the guys who make True Theatre go, are the starting point for the evening's fun and games. They'll tell stories, and then the improv folks will turn them into something more. You can get tickets (for $5) at the door — located at 1127 Jackson Street in OTR. The Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park opens its new season (with a new artistic director) next Thursday with The Three Musketeers. But here's a tip: You can see previews starting Saturday, and tickets are more affordable than during the actual run of the show. You might know the story of D'Artagnan and his three swashbuckling buddies, Athos, Porthos and Aramis — but I bet you've never seen such a rollicking, have-a-great-time production as this one. I just finished reading the very conversational and funny script, and I suspect that audiences will love this show, especially if it's pulled off with visual panache. It's our first chance to see a work directed by Blake Robison, the new guy in charge. He says this is the kind of work he wants to bring to the stage regularly. Be among the first to see what he's up to. Box office: 513-421-3555. Other theaters opening shows next week include Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati on Wednesday (Good People is about unemployed folks dealing with the "new normal") and Cincinnati Shakespeare Company starts its production of To Kill a Mockingbird on Friday. Both productions have fine casts: Annie Fitzpatrick is playing the hard-pressed central character in Good People; Bruce Cromer is the virtuous attorney Atticus Finch in Mockingbird. Both are among our most watchable actors. My Curtain Call column in CityBeat this week offers more about these shows and others that are opening this month.

Titanic (Review)
Rick Pender
3 Comments · Monday, May 14, 2012
The opening 15 minutes of Titanic: The Musical, recreating the tragic 1912 sinking of the doomed ocean liner, is one of the most stirring, evocative sequences in all of musical theater. It grabs you as you meet dozens of characters boarding the ship, overflowing with great expectations — of success, of escaping poverty, of new life in America, of achieving dreams. But we know what awaits many of them in the freezing North Atlantic after the collision with an iceberg.

Menopause the Musical (Review)
Show evokes knowing reactions, but it's predictable

I am not the target demographic for Menopause the Musical, the show that's spent 10 years "celebrating the Change." The tour is in the midst of a three-week stop in Cincinnati, playing to largely "girlfriend" audiences at the Jarson-Kaplan Theater at the Aronoff.

Love this piece- and mood! thumbs up ! :)
Hi Paul, and thanks so much for the comment! Really happy you like the picture.
such perfection. Your style is charming.
Thank you so much, Laura, for your kind words!
The eyes are so enchanting! It's as though these two share a strong, mysterious connection and the secret lies in their eyes. Beautiful!
What a wonderful comment, Jacqueline! I love how you see the relationship of the two characters. Thanks so much for coming by.
Maybe my favorite one : )
Hey, I missed this one! And it's wonderful, as always... Love your characters, posture and atmosphere!
So nice of you to come by and comment! Thanks so much, Jeannette and Efi!
I feel like she's enthralled by some story the owl is telling. A thought provoking story. Is that just me? Like she asked for advice, but instead of just saying it, the owl tells her a story. Hard to explain, but I have a vivid imagination.
I love what you see and read into the picture, Amy! A vivid imagination is a good thing, and I'm glad you can see all those things in the picture. Makes it even more enjoyable! thanks so much for stopping by with this great comment!
Well it's not hard when your artwork is so fantastic! I love it, I would buy so much of it, if I wasn't studying. I just put up my first painting so hope it goes even a fraction as well as yours do.
@Amy: thanks so much for your kind words! I truly appreciate it! It does take a while to get recognized when it comes to art, and it can be very frustrating. I've been working on my style for years and years, always trying to improve and get better. I wish you good luck with your new painting!
@Sergio: Thanks so much!! Really glad you like the picture!
Beautiful & enchanting, as always!
Really happy that you like it, Deepti! Thanks so much for stopping by!
The details of that white tree really grab me. And of course the characters are wonderful! Owls, yes!
Hey Rachel, great to see you, and thanks for the great comment! The owl was actually part of the commission request. My friend wanted a picture with an owl and a little girl. Really happy you like the tree. I love working with white ink.
Oh I just noticed the table/chess board. Love it!
Thanks, Amy, I'm glad you noticed it! The table wasn't even part of my original layout. Really happy you like it.
It's the best! I love that when I look at your pictures, I always find something else that I didn't see the first time. I hate to ask, but would you look at my paintings and give me some feedback?
Lovely! Lovely! Lovely!
@Süyümbike: Thanks so much for the comment! I really appreciate it!
@Amy: Yes, of course, Amy! I'd be happy to. I'll have to run some errands, but I'll be back later to take a look. I hope that's okay.
