Showtime may lose big on Mayweather Gamble
This past week NY Daily News sunday edition had a Bob Raisman article which he compared the Mayweather deal to the Tyson debacle Showtime suffered years ago. Showtime lost millions on a multi-fight deal toward the end of Tyson's career. Initially Showtime did well with Tyson when he fought Holyfield twice; actually setting a PPV record until broken by Mayweather-DLH. However, by the time Tyson lost to Mcbride the network was on the red in terms of Tyson.
This brings us to the six fight Mayweather deal. It is a risky gamble as Mayweather is in the final stretch of his career. Are there six major opponents out there for Mayweather? Yes, but how likely is that he will face some of these big names? We can pretty much eliminate S. Martinez and Pac(even if he beats Marquez, Mayweather won't deal with Arum).
The fact that Mayweather won't sign a conditional stipulation essentially mandating a fight with Canelo, may mean that Showtime has limited veto power in choosing Mayweather opponents. If Showtime did have veto power they likely would have mandated a match with Canelo. It is possible that Mayweather may end up fighting Alvarez anyway.
The only fighters penciled in for the May 4 undercard are Andres Gutierrez and Hasim Rahman Jr, not exactly a promising card for fans. IMHO this is looking more like a regular showtime bout than a PPV event.
Only time will tell if Showtime's gamble pays off. CBS with their major money will obviously help, but it may be too late.

Definitely would be interested to see how much say Showtime has in picking Floyd's opponents. I am sure they will not be too pleased to see Floyd fight Devon Alexander type fights instead of the names the fans want to see.

That is a lot of money to bet on a 36 year old fighter, but as long as Floyd doesn't lose the first fight they should be alright.

Which is why he will fight very easy opponents. Made to order for him to win. No real super fights will come out of this deal. This is for ratings only and Floyds bank as he cashes out into retirement. He will not lose his 0 to anyone. Unless he by some chance gets nailed by a clean shot by some b-c class fighter.

Does anyone know how the showtime deal works or is it a secret? How much is showtime paying him and how? Are they paying him a set amount per fight or are they paying him for 6 fights over 3 years or what? If he fights the best possible opponents it becomes more and more possible he could lose and much of the luster will be gone. If he fights only guys he knows he can beat that won't go over very well with the paying customers. I think he will stay at 147. I think his next fight will be the winner of the Alexander-Brook fight. Then if Khan has not lost by then I think he goes to England and beats up Khan. If Bradley leaves Arum I could see him fighting Bradley. It remains to be seen if Showtime made a great deal or not.

I thought I heard where he was guaranteed 30 million per ppv fight? But what if Canelo loses to Trout? Who will Floyd match up against? Seriously? Alexander, Khan, Matthyse?
I also heard he can opt out of his Showtime deal after the first fight. So we shall see how it plays out.

How to link SharePoint calendar to Outlook for Mac 2011?
Connect to Outlook button is greyed and it says, that there is problem with user rights or some control objects are missing.
Thanks for the feedback.
Outlook for Mac 2011 does not allow connections to SharePoint. Other office applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint do allow connections.
This might help provide more guidance.
Hi KalervoM,
This is Jonis from Microsoft Online SharePoint Support.
I agree with the Carsten Winsnes post. It is not currently possible to sync SharePoint Online calendars, tasks, or contacts with Outlook on Office for MAC 2011. I would suspect that syncing with SharePoint Online will be available at some future point, but that is not definitive. If this is a feature that you would like to see in a future release of Office for MAC 201X, voice your opinion on the Microsoft Office MAC feedback form here.
If that does not solve your question please let me know as I will continue to monitor this thread for any additional posts or questions.
Is there any work around for this?
I use Outlook for Mac 2011 and SharePoint 2010 and I need to be able to sync them... is there any other way of doing this?
Like could I export the SP calendar to excel and manually add the excel calendar to Outlook 2011? Or anything else??

The present invention relates generally to disk drives for signal reproducing apparatus and relates more particularly to speed control of a brushless direct current motor utilized for that purpose.
Disk drives are commonly used in signal reproducing apparatus. A disk platter or a plurality of disk platters are utilized for the recording and the reproducing of signals on a magnetic record media. A magnetic disk spins around a spindle supporting the magnetic disk, a transducer is positioned on a record track located on the disk platter which then records and reproduces signals on that record track. The disk platter is typically rotated around its spindle at a relatively constant speed by a spindle drive motor, e.g. 3,125 revolutions per minute. The speed of the transducer with respect to the record track and hence the speed of the spindle drive motor is critical for the accurate and dense recording of signals by the transducer.
In signal reproducing apparatus employing disk drives, it is important to minimize the surge currents required by the disk drive and to minimize the cost of the components utilized. The spindle drive system is a system which has required substantial surge currents while starting from standstill and lesser, but still substantial, surge currents during steady running because of the widespread use of so-called "bang-bang" or "drive-coast" speed control systems. The bang-bang speed control system has a speed variation inferior to that obtained with a continuous speed control system.
Bang-bang speed control systems draw bursts of the full surge current in between "coasting" periods. This results in a speed which oscillates continuously up and down over a range of typically �0.5%. Furthermore, the power supply is continually subjected to surge currents even while the motor is running at nominal speed. These surge currents cause transient voltages in the power supply distribution system. These transient voltages can have a deleterious effect on other disk drives, tape drives, etc. which typically operate on the same power distribution system.
A motor utilized in a spindle drive capacity in a disk drive system may typically be a brushless direct current motor. The system being driven by the spindle motor has a relatively large inertia and is relatively viscous. The system has a relatively large inertia due to the mass of the disk platter or multiple platters utilized. The system is especially viscous due to the turning resistance of the spindle drive motor, the spindle itself and associated grease and bearing drag, and to the drag which air flowing over the platter surface creates.
A motor control system is adapted to control an electric motor of the type having a rotor and a plurality of windings having electronic commutation for the plurality of windings, and having a linear speed control feedback loop for the windings utilizing a velocity feedback sensor. The motor control system employs a current sensor coupled to the plurality of the windings for producing a current feedback signal indicative of the amount of the current flowing through the motor. The control system also utilizes a comparator coupled in the linear speed control feedback loop and coupled to the current feedback signal of the current sensor for providing a comparison output responsive to the result of a comparison between the linear speed control feedback loop and the current feedback signal with the comparison output indicative of the desired portion of the rotor of the electric motor and of the current feedback signal. The system further has a transistor circuit coupled to the comparison output biased and capable of operating in both `on` and `off` states and operating therebetween. An inductor is coupled between the output of the switching transistor and the electronic commutation. A positive feedback amplifier is coupled to the current sensor operative when the current feedback signal exceeds a predetermined value to accelerate changes in the current feedback signal. The transistor circuit provides linear closed loop speed control feedback to the electronic commutation when the current feedback signal does not exceed the predetermined value and the switching transistor provides an oscillating pulse width modulation control of the electronic commutation when the current feedback signal exceeds the predetermined value.
The oscillating pulse width modulation control may be achieved by the oscillation of the transistor circuit. The control system may also include a driver coupled between the comparator and the transistor circuit to provide the transistor circuit with the amount of drive current required.
The current sensor may utilize a current sensing resistor coupled to the electronic commutation such that the amount of current flowing through the current sensing resistor is responsive to the amount of current flowing through the electronic commutation. It may further have an operational amplifier having two inputs and an output, the two inputs coupled across the current resistor and a feedback resistor coupled between the output of the operational amplifier and the comparator. The operational amplifier may operate in subtractive mode.
The comparator may include an operational amplifier having two inputs selectively coupled to the current sensor and to the linear speed control loop. The comparator may also include a compensation resistor and a compensation capacitor coupled between the input coupled to the current sensor and the output to provide closed loop current control.
The transistor circuit of the control system may include a switching transistor having a base, a collector, and an emitter. The base is coupled to the comparator and to an appropriate biasing circuit. The emitter is coupled to an emitter resistor and the collector is coupled to the inductor and to the cathode of a diode whose anode is coupled to ground. The transistor circuit may further include a capacitor coupled between the collector and the base.
Where the operational amplifier in the current sensor operates as a subtractive operational amplifier, the positive feedback amplifier may include a feedback operational amplifier having two inputs selectively coupled to the output of the subtractive operational amplifier, and to a steady state reference voltage. A diode has a cathode coupled to the output of the feedback operational amplifier and an anode coupled to a feedback resistor which in turn is coupled to an input of the subtractive operational amplifier. The positive feedback amplifier also includes a feedback capacitor coupled between the output of the feedback operational amplifier, and the comparator. This results in positive feedback being introduced to the input side of the current sensor.
The motor being controlled may be a brushless direct current motor where the motor controls the rotation of a record medium for the recording of signals thereon. The record medium may be a medium having a relatively high inertia and may be a disk platter.
A control system connected in this manner utilizes a phase locked loop servo system for continuous linear speed control and also uses a pulse width modulation control for initial start-up.
The linear speed control by itself is disadvantageous. While a linear speed control would operate properly at steady state rotation, its use is not advantageous during initial start-up. At initial start-up, the linear speed control operation is bad because of excessive current draw. Assume that a supply voltage of 24 volts is supplied to the brushless direct current motor; also assume that the motor windings have approximately 2 ohms in resistance with locked rotor. The voltage available to the locked rotor motor would then be 24 volts less the voltage drop across the power transistors (electronic commutation transistors) of about 4 volts. The surge current drawn would therefore be approximately 24 volts minus 4 volts, the quantity divided by 2 ohms or about 10 amperes. Since the motor and its load of disk platters have a fairly high inertia, this current must be sustained for several seconds during start up. This means that all of the power transistors must be rated for a continuous current of at least 10 amperes, since a time period of several seconds exceeds the thermal time constant of the power transistors by a substantial margin. Furthermore, the power supply must be designed to supply a 10 ampere surge current for one or more seconds. This results in transistors and a power supply which are sized much larger than would be dictated by the steady speed running requirements of 1 to 2.5 amperes.
The surge current could be limited to a predetermined value by current feedback. However, in conjunction with a linear power control transistor, the voltage not required by the motor at this predetermined current would be developed across the controlling power transistor (switching transistor or power driver), resulting in a substantial dissipation in the transistor. This technique therefore trades a current surge problem for a transistor dissipation problem, solving only the power supply size problem.
A pulse width modulated control system largely solves the power dissipation problem and the power supply problem. With the pulse width modulation control system, the current is limited to approximately 3 to 5 amperes through the brushless DC motor. However, such a pulse width modulation control system suffers the significant disadvantage of being electrically very noisy at steady state speed.
The control system of the present invention utilizes both modes of operation. The pulse width modulation control system is utilized when the spindle drive motor is starting up in order to conserve size and cost of the power transistors and the power supply. The present invention also utilizes the linear continuous speed control system at steady state in order to control the speed of the motor accurately, to reduce the amount of electrical noise produced and to minimize power supply surges.
The control system of the present invention solves a significant problem even though the start-up of the spindle drive motor is relatively infrequent. The problem is significant first because a power supply is needed whose continuous rating is for the surge power which may be drawn. The problem is significant second because, even though the start-up of the spindle drive motor may be a relatively infrequent event, all the power transistors would also have to be sized for the surge current drawn.
The foregoing advantages, construction and operation of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following description and accompanying drawings in which:

The basic control of brushless DC motors with a closed loop servo system is well known in the art. A text which describes such control systems is a text entitled Incremental Motion Control--DC Motors and Control Systems authored by Benjamin C. Kuo and Jacob Tal, published in 1978 by S. R. L. Publishing Company, P. O. Box 2277, Station A, Champaigne, Ill. 61820 which is hereby incorporated by reference. Basic linear control of DC motor is illustrated in Chapter 10 entitled "Linear DC Servo Amplifiers." Basic phase locked loop control systems and pulse width modulated control systems are shown in Chapter 11, "Pulse Width Modulated Amplifier for DC Servo Systems," Chapter 12, "Velocity Control Systems," Chapter 13, "Position Control Systems," and Chapter 14, "Phase Locked Servo Systems."
A portion of a closed loop speed control system for brushless DC motor 10 which may incorporate the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. A reference voltage 12, generally indicative of the speed error of the brushless DC motor, is coupled to one input of a comparator, operational amplifier 14. The output of the comparator 14 is then connected through a power driver, switching transistor 16, to control the current through the electronic commutation for the brushless DC motor 10. A resistor 18 is coupled in series with the electronic commutation for the brushless DC motor 10. The current flowing through the resistor 18 will therefore be indicative of the amount of current flowing through the electronic commutation of the brushless DC motor 10. Since the resistance of the resistor 18 is fixed, the voltage across resistor 18 will be indicative of the amount of current flowing through the electronic commutation of the brushless DC motor 10. A subtractor 20 is then coupled across resistor 18 to provide at its output 22 a signal indicative of the current flowing through the brushless DC motor 10. This output 22 is coupled to the other input of comparator 14.
The reference voltage 12 will control the current in the brushless DC motor 10 since the current feedback loop will act to minimize the difference between reference voltage 12 and the output 22 of the subtractor 20, which in turn is representative of the current flowing in the brushless D.C. motor 10. Since the reference voltage 12 controls the motor 10 current, it indirectly controls the motor speed. However, since the reference voltage 12 is indicative of speed error, an equilibrium is finally reached wherein the motor speed satisfies the dictates of the speed control loop (not shown in FIG. 1). This control is entirely continuous even if not necessarily quite linear. There are no discrete jumps in the relationship between motor current and reference voltage. The individual amplifiers and power drivers are said to be operating in a "linear" mode as opposed to being saturated, "on", or cut "off".
However, as indicated previously, linear speed control for brushless DC motors, especially those used for disk drives, suffers a disadvantage when the actual speed of the motor 10 is not close to the desired operating speed.
FIG. 2 illustrates the same feedback control loop as in FIG. 1 with an addition. Again, the reference voltage 12 with comparator, operational amplifier, 14 is sent through, power driver, switching transistor, 16 to the brushless DC motor 10. Also, again, resistor 18 measures the current flowing through the electronic commutation of the brushless DC motor 10 and subtractor 20 supplies on output 22 a signal indicative of that current flow. However, the control loop in FIG. 2 contains two additional components; inductor 24 and positive feedback circuit 26. The inductor 24 and positive feedback circuit 26 cooperate with the remaining elements of the feedback loop to provide an improved operating characteristic. Positive feedback circuit 26 monitors the amount of current flowing through resistor 18 and when it approaches a predetermined threshold positive feedback circuit 26 supplies positive feedback to the input of subtractor 20 and to output 22 to promote a rapid turn off of power driver 16. Inductor 24 coupled between power driver 16 and the brushless DC motor 10 operates during a pulse width operation mode to prevent instantaneous current changes in the electronic commutation of the brushless DC motor 10. The positive feedback circuit 26 will operate to accelerate the changes in the sensing of the current flow through the electronic commutation of the brushless DC motor 10 and supply that information to comparator 14 which then controls power driver 16 on or off in pulse width modulation. Inductor 24 cooperates with these elements to smooth the actual current flowing through the electronic commutation of the brushless DC motor while providing accelerated sensing and switching of the current flow. Inductor 24 also cooperates with the hysteresis created by the positive feedback 26 and the characteristics of the brushless D.C. motor 10 and load to control the operating frequency of the on/off cycling of power driver 16.
When the speed of the brushless DC motor 10 is at or near its desired operating speed, the voltage present on output 22 will drop below a predetermined threshold. This will allow comparator 14 to send an appropriate level to power driver 16 to provide linear speed control for the brushless DC motor 10. However, when the speed of the brushless DC motor 10 does not approximate its desired operating speed, the voltage present on output 22 as determined from subtractor 20 will exceed that threshold. In this case, comparator 14 will send a different signal to power driver 16 which then operates between its on and off states alternatingly supplying and interrupting current flow to the electronic commutation of the brushless DC motor 10 and providing that brushless DC motor 10 with pulse width modulated control. When the speed of the brushless DC motor 10 begins to approximate its desired operating speed, the voltage present on output 22 will drop below that predetermined threshold and the control system changes to its linear control at or near operating speed.
This dual feedback loop control system for the brushless DC motor 10 thus provides a dual mode of control for the brushless DC motor 10. The motor 10 is operated in pulse width modulated control when its speed is not near its desired operating speed such as at startup and is operated in linear control when its speed is at or near its desired operating speed.
FIG. 3 illustrates a block diagram of the present invention depicting feedback loop of FIG. 2 in combination with an overall phase locked speed control loop. Here, the brushless DC motor 10 is shown with two parts, motor windings 28 and electronic commutation 30. As in FIG. 2, resistor 18 senses the current flow through the electronic commutation 30, subtractor 20 measures the voltage across the resistor 18, and positive feedback circuit 26 supplies feedback to the subtractor 20 and to output 22 which is then coupled to the input of the comparator 14 and supplied to power driver 16 which in turn is coupled through inductor 24 back to the electronic commutation 30 of the DC motor 10.
The other feedback loop alluded to previously is also illustrated. The brushless DC motor 10 has position sensors which sense and indicate the position of the rotor. These position sensors are illustrated as motor photo transistors 32. With a brushless DC motor 10, it is necessary to know the position of the rotor with respect to the stator in order to supply the proper switching to the electronic commutation 30 to supply current at the proper instants of time to the motor windings 28 in order to run the brushless DC motor. This is necessary because the DC motor, being brushless, has no brushes supplying that commutation. The DC motor must necessarily have the current flow to the respective motor windings switched many times during every rotation. The motor phototransistors 32 are shown supplying their position sensing to amplifiers 34 which provide the appropriate signals to the electronic commutation 30. Such motor phototransistors 32, amplifiers 34 and electronic commutation 30 are well known in the motor art. One of the motor phototransistors 32 providing a position indication of the rotor of the brushless DC motor 10 is supplied to a feedback control circuit. This position indication is supplied to a frequency/phase detector 36 which is also supplied with a source of regular occurring pulses at a predetermined frequency supplied by crystal oscillator 38. The output of the frequency/phase detector 36 is supplied through a servo loop compensator 40 which provides at its output voltage reference signal 12. The use of the frequency/phase detector 36, the crystal oscillator 36 in conjunction with the motor phototransistor 32 through the servo loop compensator 40 is well known in the art. Thus, it can be seen in FIG. 3 that the present invention has two feedback control loops. One control loop is through the frequency/phase detector 36 and servo loop compensator 40. The second control loop is through resistor 18, subtractor 20, positive feedback circuit 26 and switching transistor 16 and inductor 24. This inner loop provides pulse width modulated control of the brushless DC motor 10 when the speed error signal, voltage reference 12, is large and linear control when the speed error signal is small.
FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of the electronic commutation 30 and the motor windings 28. Signals 52, 54, 56, 58, 60 and 62 are supplied from the electronic commutation amplifiers 34 to be described later. Signal 52 is supplied through resistors 64, 66 and capacitors 68 and 70 to transistor 72. Similarly, signal 54 is supplied through resistors 74, 76, capacitors 78, and 80 to transistor 82, and similarly, signal 56 is supplied through resistors 84, 86, capacitor 88, and 90 to transistor 92. Signal 58 is supplied through capacitors 94 and 96 to transistor 98. Signal 60 is supplied through capacitors 100 and 102 to transistor 104. Signal 62 is supplied through capacitors 106 and 108 to transistor 110. Resistors 112, 114 and 116 along with capacitors 118, 120 and 122 and diode 124 to complete the coupling of the electronic commutation 30. Transistor pair 72 and 98 operate to supply current to winding 126, transistors 82 and 104 couple to supply current to winding 128, and transistors 92 and 110 couple to supply current to winding 130, all contained in motor windings 28. In this preferred embodiment of the present invention, the brushless DC motor 10 contains three motor windings 126, 128 and 130.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the motor phototransistors 32 and the amplifiers 34. The motor phototransistors 132, 134 and 136 provide position indication of the position of the rotor with respect to the stator of the DC motor 10. The output of phototransistors 132, 134 and 136 are fed to one input of operational amplifiers 138, 140 and 142 respectively. Resistors 144, 146 and 148 along with resistors 150, 152 and 154, capacitor 156 and diode 158 bias the operational amplifiers 138, 140, and 142. Resistor 160 and capacitor 162 are coupled to operational amplifier 138. Resistor 164 and capacitor 166 are coupled to operational amplifier 140. Resistor 168 and capacitor 170 are coupled to operational amplifier 142. Resistors 172, 174 and 177 pull up the outputs of operational amplifiers 138, 140 and 142, respectively.
The outputs of operational amplifiers 138, 140, and 142 are fed both directly and through inverters 178, 180 and 182 to a bank of logic gates 184, 186, 188, NOR gates, 190, and 192, and 194, OR gates. Resistors 196, 198, 200, 202, 204, 206 provide pull ups, respectively. NOR gate 184 drives signal 52 through inverter 208. NOR gate 186 drives signal 54 through inverter 210 while NOR gate 188 drives signal 56 through inverter 212. OR gate 190 drives signal 58 through inverter 214. OR gate 182 drives signal 60 through inverter 216 while OR gate 194 drives signal 62 through inverter 218. Resistors 220, 222, and 224 provide pull ups for inverters 214, 216 and 218, respectively. Output 226 is made available from motor phototransistor 136 to be supplied to the frequency/phase detector 36 of the control feedback loop.
FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of subtractor 20 and positive feedback circuit 26. Resistor 18, as illustrated in FIG. 2, is coupled to the electronic commutation 30. This is also illustrated as reference numeral 125 in FIG. 4. Resistor 18 is coupled between reference numeral 125 in the electronic commutation 30 and a 24 volt return. The resistor 18 is coupled to the 24 volt return rather than to ground in order to subtract any ground return noise which may occur in the power supply. Operational amplifier 230 is coupled across resistor 18 through resistors 232, 234 and 236. The operational amplifier 230 operates as a comparator with resistor 238 coupled between its input and its output. Capacitor 240 and 242 decouple and filter the power connections to the operational amplifier 230. The output of operational amplifier 230, operating as a subtractor, then is supplied to output 22 through feedthrough resistor 244. The positive feedback circuit 26 is coupled to this current sensor with the output of operational amplifier 230 coupled to the positive input of operational amplifier 246. Capacitors 248 and 250 decouple and filter the power connections to this operational amplifier. The negative input to operational amplifier 246 is coupled to a steady state plus 5 volt supply with a filter capacitor 252. The output of operational amplifier 246 is coupled both through capacitor 254 to output 22 and through an isolation diode 256 and resistor 258, back to one of the inputs to operational amplifier 230. In operation, operational amplifier 246 provides positive feedback to the operation of subtractor operational amplifier 230. When the output of operational amplifier 230 is less than approximately 5 volts, the output of operational amplifier 246 is held to approximately minus 3 volts; however, when the voltage at the output of operational amplifier 230 increases above the plus 5 volt threshold, operational amplifier 246 amplifies this voltage toward plus 24 volts, diode 256 conducts supplying this greater voltage back to the input of operational amplifier 230, which in turn increases the voltage at the output of operational amplifier 230 thus providing a positive feedback and accelerating the change in voltage present on output 22 as it passes through plus 5 volts.
FIG. 7 illustrates a schematic diagram of the crystal oscillator 38 and the frequency phase detector 36 and servo loop compensator 40. The crystal oscillator 38 supplies a series of pulses at a fixed predetermined frequency. In a preferred embodiment a frequency of 208.3 hertz is utilized. These signals are fed through resistor 260 to one input of frequency/phase detector chip 262. The other input to the frequency/phase detector chip 262 comes from signal 226 which originates in FIG. 5 from motor phototransistor 136 providing an indication of the position of the rotor of the brushless DC motor 10. The frequency/phase detector chip 262 supplies an average signal less than 21/2 volts on its output if the frequency of pulses from the crystal oscillator 38 are greater than the frequency of the position signals coming from motor phototransistor 136, but supplies an average signal greater than 21/2 volts at its output when the frequency of signals from the crystal oscillator 38 are less than the frequency of the signal supplied from motor phototransistor 136. When the signals coming from crystal oscillator 38 and the motor phototransistor 136 are equal in frequency, however, if the positive edges of the signals coming from the crystal oscillator 38 lead the positive edges of the signals coming from motor phototransistor 136 then the average signal present at the output of the frequency/phase detector chip 262 will be less than 21/2 volts while the opposite will be true if the positive edges from signals from crystal oscillator 38 lag, the positive edges from the signals coming from motor phototransistor 136. Thus, the output of the frequency/phase detector chip 262 will be indicative of the difference between the frequency of the position signals coming from the motor and the frequency of the square wave coming from the crystal oscillator and indicative of the phase of those signals once their frequencies are equal. This signal is then fed to operational amplifier 264 through resistor 266, resistor 268, resistor 270, resistor 272, resistor 274, resistor 276, resistor 278, capacitor 280, capacitor 282 and capacitor 284. Resistors 274 and 276 along with capacitor 286 provide a voltage divider and filter for 21/2 volts. Resistor 272 provides a path to that 21/2 volts from the output of the frequency/phase detector chip 262. Resistors 266, 268, and capacitor 280 provide a carrier filter for the signal while resistor 270 and capacitor 284 provide a phase lead network for the input to operational amplifier 264. Resistor 288 and capacitor 290 provide an integration and phase lead in network for operational amplifier 264. Capacitors 292 and 294 are used to filter and decouple the power supply for operational amplifier 264. Resistors 296 and 298 on the output of operational amplifier 264 operate to attenuate the output of operational amplifier 264. This results in a reference voltage signal 12 which is indicative of the integral of the position error of the rotor of the brushless DC motor with respect to the square wave from the crystal oscillator.
The reference voltage 12 is then supplied to FIG. 8 showing a schematic diagram of comparator 14. The reference voltage signal 12 is fed through resistor 300 into the positive input of operational amplifier 302. The negative input of operational amplifier 302 comes from the second feedback loop, namely output 22 from FIG. 6. Resistor 304 and capacitor 306 compensate to ensure closed loop stability and provide a steady state DC voltage at the output of operational amplifier 302. Zener diode 308 operates in conjunction with transistor 310 which prevents the base-collector of transistor 310 from being forward biased. Transistor 310 along with resistors 312 and 314 provide an inversion, a power gain, and a level shift to supply the closed loop voltage signal to switching transistor circuit 16 illustrated in FIG. 9. The base of transistor 316 is biased with resistors 318 and the collector and emitters of transistor 316 are biased with resistor 320, capacitor 322 and diode 324. Diode 324 conducts when the collector of transistor 316 falls below minus 0.7 volts to prevent excess voltage on transistor 316. Capacitor 326 is coupled between the collector and the base of transistor 316. The output 328 of transistor 316 is then supplied as in FIG. 2 to a 250 microhenry inductor which in turn is supplied to reference numeral 123 in FIG. 4 of the electronic commutator 30 completing the double closed loop feedback circuitry.

It's cherry blossom time. I know this not from seeing cherry blossoms outside my window (unfortunately), but from seeing so many on Pinterest. I don't think Boston is big in cherry blossoms. In my neighborhood it's magnolia trees that bloom like crazy, though not quite yet. If you're wild about cherry blossoms, when you're done scrolling through these, click over to my "Cherry Blossoms in the Home" post on Wayfair's blog today too.

Now that my workspace has been relocated to the living room, I'm thinking of getting a new desk chair. The one I've been using from Hold Everything is literally falling apart. I'm uncertain whether to opt for a stylish dining/upholstered chair or for a more ergonomically-correct, but not as living room-y, office chair. I think a rolling swivel chair may be too office-y for my workspace (I'll post a photo of it tomorrow), though some of these look lovely. I love the Eames Management chair, but at over $2,000, it's not likely to make an appearance at my house.

I'm not really all about retro, but I am loving sputnik chandeliers. (Though I wonder if the trend will be too over soon. These days it's really about the raw light bulb.) Chunky chrome anemone fixtures, spiky brass models, expansive hand blown glass designs, and crystal floret-adorned vintage beauties are all still on my mind. I'm thinking an amazing, somewhat intricate eBay find would add glamour to my soon-to-be-in-the-works living room. (Of course, I'd need to hire an electrician.) While I'm at it, a sleeker model might be just the finishing touch my bedroom needs. I must do an accompanying "Get the Look" post to this montage. Stay tuned. (A post on exposed light bulbs is also in progress.)

A heavily wooded campground about 60 miles north of Philadelphia, close to the Delaware River and other northern Bucks County attractions. Difficult to find; watch out for narrow roads - plan ahead. Arrived late on a Friday night; "David" thankfully escorted us to the site, which was wide, clean and flat with stones. Permanent sites are separated from transients. Most permanents in good shape. An active campground with organized games throughout Saturday for children and teens. Camp store is well-stocked, with an indoor game area. Large lake for fishing and two pools with water play-features. A high cost for only water and electric - knocked down my rating. Charges $7.50 per adult guest. One dumping station means you'll be lining up to get out on Sunday. Be sure to leave an extra hour. Trash is picked up on site (didn't learn that until we drove around looking for a Dumpster). There's a honeywagon too, but the service isn't available on weekends, or wasn't well advertised. We have friends in the area and will likely visit again. - Lancaster Camper
Aug 2014 - $49.00
This campground is probably wonderful for families. There are lots of activities, a lake and a pool, hayrides, etc. But not so much for old fogies like us, in a big rig. The roads to the campground are 10 miles of narrow, winding country lanes. The driveway into the campground is not quite one lane wide, with obstacles or drop-offs on both sides. There are few places for a small car to pull off to let an RV pass. The site we had (Lake-8) was so steeply sloped that we could not level the coach. It did not have 50-amp service or a sewer at the site. We had no trouble with the Wi-Fi. We found the camping cost to be very expensive – the second most we've ever paid anywhere in 15 years of RVing! We would not stay here again. It was my mistake to choose this campground. - SusanRon
May 2014 - $40.00
This is a very different RV park from the ones we've been staying at for this past year on the road. We are used to well manicured, well furnished parks for older folks who are traveling. On the other hand, this very rustic park is family and kid friendly. Over the weekend, the place was crawling with happy children, running around unsupervised and seemingly safe. So, it depends upon what you are looking for. The place is tucked away in the hills and a bit of a challenge to find. Roads are paved and smooth, sites are gravel and fairly level. WiFi worked fairly well, though a bit slow at times. Our biggest gripe as full timers was the lack of sewer hookups. Our large tanks served us for five days before we had to leave. For families with small children, it is perfect. For Geritol Gypsies, it is less so. - Ray Waugh

Stayed for a month. Restrooms are clean during the week but get trashed during the weekends when the campground fills up and there is only one restroom (mens and womens has 3 toilet stalls and 2 showers each) in the whole place. Owner and staff nice. No sewer hookups, honey dipper service was weekly and additional $. Seasonal people were very nice and friendly and welcoming, they have events for kids every weekend. Pool was nice, got crowded with people and their oversized toys sometimes. No lifeguard. Cute baby pool. Wi-Fi in clubhouse worked well. Location is great and we would stay again. - sbrigga315
Aug 2014 - $42.00
Good for families who want playground and pool and events; pricey and a bit too much activity for full-timers who just want a nice, quiet campsite away from it all. Approach from south, not north, as roads wind and are difficult from north. Restrooms clean enough, but dated. With lots of seasonals and local families with kids staying here, it was not one of our favorite campgrounds. That said, if you want to be in this area, which we did, this will do just fine - just expect a lot of activity in the summertime. - Jolly Out There
Sep 2011 - $34.00
Another good experience here. Sites are shaded and nicely set up. Quiet area, with little traffic on the road running along campground. Owners are welcoming and the bathrooms are clean. A lot of seasonals, and no sewer at the sites, but they do have a dump station. Nice playground, game room and decently stocked store, has pamphlets for area attractions. Rained hard the first night and had minimal puddling. Sites are a mix of gravel, dirt and grass. Will stay here again. - acenorm

I didn't want the first entry to be too long, it was War and Peace just for day 1.

Projects, the backstories #2: Open form in oak, day 1
03-25-2014 06:31 PM by PASs | 7 comments »
Seth (my daughter's boyfriend) does yard work for spending money and got some oak logs for me (about 4,000 pounds worth).I decided to try an open form with a (small) piece of it.Since it was green it was heavier than I wanted to try lifting onto the lathe. Besides that's why I have a chain hoist and trolley. Seth was doing the hoisting…lots of pulling to bring it up…but he's young. Initial mount to the headstock is a 4" faceplate, the biggest I'...

Powermatic 3520b #1: Remote controller modification
12-07-2013 05:21 AM by PASs | 7 comments »
Powermatic 3520b Motor Controls Rewire I got my Powermatic a couple years ago.As I was researching its features I came across an article about removing the entire motor controller panel and putting it into a switchbox.I like that Idea much better than the factory on/off remote option. After a year and a half I finally got around to doing the job.Since a picture is worth a thousand words I decided to photo-archive the job.Also it's easier than writing down which wire goes where.The...
Review of the Powermatic PM1500 15 inch Bandsaw
03-31-2013 05:36 PM by Marty Backe | 47 comments »
In this video, I review the new Powermatic 15 inch bandsaw. I recently upgraded from my 14 inch Delta 1HP bandsaw. I was originally considering an 18 inch bandsaw until I heard about the Powermatic offering. I liked the idea of the resaw capacity of a larger bandsaw, but the compactness of this 15 inch. The two bandsaws are shown side-by-side, and then I show the various features of the new saw. There's a lot to like about this new Powermatic offering, but I also don't shy a...
Safety (or the lack thereof) #1: Rule #3, if your lathe has a safety shield and you can use it....DO!!!
01-14-2013 05:06 AM by PASs | 8 comments »
My wife, who loves me more than I deserve, let me get a new lathe a few months ago. A Powermatic 3520b.I love this lathe, especially better than the old Craftsman tube-types I had. Anyway, I've flung a few pieces of wood off the lathes over the past 40+ years, and I'm always conscious to keep my face shield/mask/goggles in place (unless I forget in the heat of the moment.)But the safety cage just looked better holding a couple of worklights than down in its intended position. ...
goodbye to an old freind
12-03-2012 02:25 PM by randyb | 3 comments »
Last month I had to say goodbye to my restored 1960's Powermatic model 66 table saw. It was my dream saw with a Excalibur sliding table, as the old Rush song said from a better thanish time. I spent a lot of time on putting this old saw back to work. I bolted it to the floor, and tried to "dust proof" it. As I was sitting in my shop looking at all of the things I planned on selling to clear out my shelves and make some room. The Excalibur sliding table was huge!!! and took a...
My New Tool: 15 inch Powermatic Byrd Helix Head Planer
04-13-2012 09:54 AM by Boxguy | 3 comments »
Addendum: I have had my Powermatic for two years now and have planed hundreds of boards it is still working flawlessly. I have not as yet rotated the cutters. My only objection is the loud clunk it makes at the start. I wish they would have added a soft start to the motor. Yes, this is an expensive tool, but if you are going to work in your shop several days a week, like I do, it is a joy to use and makes woodworking much more fun. After 30 years of using my trusty Makita 400mm ...
Powermatic 45 Lathe #3: Stand painted, started Putting it all back together.
03-17-2011 06:48 PM by stevengaletodd | 5 comments »
The stand is now painted, it did take a little work to get it cleaned up. I used SoyGel on the old finish that was caked on. I put it on and let it sit for 30 minutes and the old finish scraped right off. I was also able to find a could missing pieces that I needed for the tool rest. I'm getting ready to put the lathe back on the stand. Here is a picture of the tool rest before I put it together. I also got the head stock assembly put back together. It cost me about $...

i have about 2 weeks, i'd like to do the regular tourist things but would also really enjoy doing things that arent so touristic-trying the local style if possible. i enjoy doing anything outdoors -open to try anything new
There are certainly BF members who would go for a ride with you if you desired to do that--a ride up Mount Tamalpais perhaps? Perhaps a visit to some of the state parks, so you would be off the beaten track. There are plenty of museums, bars, etc., to keep you busy just in San Francisco mind you!

People who have sat through a power point presentation know they can be tedious. Yet anyone who has witnessed Arthur Meek present one knows it doesn't have to be that way.
A power point presentation won Meek the Chapman Tripp best male newcomer award in 2008 - the bizarre On the Conditions and Possibilities of Helen Clark Taking Me as her Younger Lover.
This week Meek's alter ego, Richard Meros, will be back on stage with his laptop at Downstage to present Richard Meros Salutes the Southern Man.
Audiences would be advised to catch him while they can because Broadway is about to get the Richard Meros power-point presentation experience.
Meek has been awarded an $80,000 Harriet Friedlander residency in New York.
"The Americans haven't felt the power of the technicolour power-point," Meek said. "This is it: the technicolour power-point - taking it to a whole new level. The entire show in a laptop."
Meek said Meros was following the same path as Christ.
"Basically, Jesus was a run-of-the-mill prophet in the Middle East until someone wrote about him," Meek said.
"Richard Meros just needs someone to take him to New York and the world."
The idea of the show is to take the "what- would-Jesus-do" ethos and turn it to "what would the Southern Man do?".
"The fact is the Southern Man has never been more important than he is now," he said.
"We are in the midst of a global recession that John Key and Barack Obama haven't been able to solve," he said.
"Hard yakka for little rewards can make people incredibly happy."
Meed said the Southern Man predated Speights beer advertisements, scarfies, couch-burning and even the invention of rugby.
He could be found in a vast array of literature - "basically, a gospel's worth".
Meek said he had brought the Southern Man to Downstage because it was Wellington's largest venue, and it had sold out for the 10-day run of Helen Clark.
"Wellington audiences are the most pseudo-intellectual in the country and that suits Richard Meros' education.
"I just find it much easier to interact with the Wellington audiences."
Meek has made some outrageous promises to theatre-goers. If his pyrotechnics fail to set the house on fire, audiences will be able to claim one free beer or house wine from the Downstage bar.
Furthermore, said Meek, tongue firmly in cheek, Education Minister Hekia Parata had agreed to grant one level-three NCEA credit to every audience member who did not have a degree or other qualification or, to those with degrees, two Fly Buys points.
Perhaps theatre-goers should check their eligibility with reward providers.
Richard Meros Salutes the Southern Man was written by Arthur Meek and Richard Pinfield. It will be performed by Meek and directed by Pinfield and opens at Downstage on Friday, November 23. It runs until December 1.

Funding via Aqroinvest Credit Union
Milk, yogurt and meat are very popular foods in Azerbaijan. People use meat in everyday national dishes such as pilau and dolma and often use yogurt as a sauce. Milk products are considered very healthy to eat; they are present in everyday life.
Rovshan's cattle business brings in 200 AZN a month, the family's only income. It is not enough to cover the basic needs of his beloved children. He has applied for a 1300 AZN loan with ACU (his second loan with them) to purchase two cattle, one milker and fodder for them. Rovshan has a good client history.
Success!! The loan was 100% repaid

West Brom star warns QPR after Norwich win
15:00 24 December 2012
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Zoltan Gera hopes West Brom can reap the benefits of being in a more relaxed frame of mind after ending their mini slump when they visit QPR on Boxing Day.
Midfielder Gera scored Albion's opening goal in their 2-1 weekend home win over Norwich - their first in five games after climbing at one stage to third spot in the Barclays Premier League.
The Hungary international knows questions were starting to be asked of Steve Clarke's side but is hopeful they can now regain momentum and sustain a push for a top-six spot.
Gera said: "We lost three games in a row, then drew against West Ham, and finally we've won.
"If you're losing games or drawing then people will ask questions, but that's normal.
"In every team, every single side, there will be frustrating times. Hopefully that's in the past now.
"Maybe we can relax a bit now - and maybe we can win more games.
"We have lost to good teams in recent weeks but we feel much better after winning. We have 30 points and we just want to win more games."
Gera, who netted his fourth goal of the campaign against Norwich, added: "Is the top six a realistic target? You never know, it's very tight in the top 10.
"If we can finish higher than last season (10th) then everyone will be happier."
Gera knows the importance of Albion matching relegation-threatened QPR's desire to win.
He said: "It's not easy, especially against a side fighting relegation. QPR will be desperate to win against us.
"I think they're looking for the next game and will think they can beat us. We have to make sure they don't want to win more than us. That's the key.
"We have to build on what we have done against Norwich.
"Harry Redknapp is a very experienced manager. He did a great job at Spurs and Portsmouth.
"But they're in a difficult period and we have to look after ourselves."

RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — Dozens of carp and goldfish died in an irrigation pond in Richland.
The Kennewick Irrigation District says it didn't expect fish to be in the pond and they may have been killed by the routine application of herbicide to remove aquatic plants that can clog the system. Or the fish may have been killed by a warm-weather algae bloom.
The Tri-City Herald reports the fish were found over the weekend by a man who took his granddaughter to the pond at Richland's Badger Mountain Village to feed the fish.
Irrigation district manager Chuck Freeman said the irrigation pond is not supposed to have fish, and it has received several treatments with weed killer.

Norfolk Southern claims those promises actually were good-faith projections that'have been soured by a slowing economy.

BY PHH, Staff Writer HOLLIDAYSBURG A Blair County judge lias dismissed the last remaining lawsuit from the 1998 natural gas explosion of the Boardwalk Pizzeria in Lakemont. Judge Hiram Carpenter ruled that the owners, Michael and Patricia DeUensis, already have been paid for the damages. The ruling was made just days before a jury was to be selected to hear the DeRensises' case against Peoples Natural Gas Co. and Consolidated Gas Co. of Pitts- burgh, which provided natural gas to Lakemont. In Carpenter's opinion, filed Monday in the Blair County Court of Common Pleas, the DeRensises have been paid more than in insurance money and for the land at 320 Logan Blvd., where Hie pizza shop was located. The value of the property was which means the DeRen- sises have been compensated for their financial losses, Carpenter ruled. The legal action brought by the DeRensises1 attorney, Alexander J. .lamiolkowski of Pittsburgh, also asked for punitive damages from the gas companies. Punitive dam- ages would award the plaintiff money above the actual financial loss to punish the gas company for the negligence that caused the explosion. DeRensises have] been compensated in full outside the context of a litigation; there is no legal basis to go Carpen- ter wrote. "Put another way, punitive dam- ages cannot be imposed unless some compensatory damages are capable of being awarded."

While juror pay hasn't changed in 20 or more years, John J. Ebersole and John H. Eichelberger Jr. said they would prefer to see the state cover the cost of a unified court system. Jurors would be paid through that system. If state legislators pursue an increase in juror pay without a unified court system, it will be up to the counties to figure out how to cover a pay increase. At the Blair County Courthouse Monday, Judge Thomas G. Peoples urged a panel of jurors selected to Ebersole Eichelberger hear a criminal trial to contact their legislators and ask them to support a bill to raise the amounts jurors are pain. State legislators have talked about increasing juror pay to per day plus reimbursement for toll charges and parking fees and dou- bling the mileage reimbursement.

Ashe, signifying life force and energy in the Yoruba language and culture, is also a powerful concept in Cuban popular and folkloric culture. Timba, or modern Cuban Salsa at its most energetic and multifaceted, is an urban expression that fuses native African and Cuban rhythms, as well as Afro-American Funk, Jazz, Soul, and Go-Go.
Aramis Pazos Barrera, a native of the el Cerro neighborhood in Havana, Cuba, formed his own group to continue to promote this tradition in the United States. He and his musicians want to introduce Americans to another style of Salsa, different from Puerto Rican salsa and "Salsa Romantica."
Aramis y su Orquesta Ashe is composed of three singers (1 woman and 2 men), three percussionists (drum set/ timbales, congas, and bongos), 1 bassist, 1 pianist, 1 saxophonist, 1 flute player, 1 trombonist, and 2 trumpet players. During their shows, they incorporate dance performance, which is intended to inspire dancing. The band's large size is a reflection of the older big Latin bands, such as Beny More, that originated in the early part of the century.
