I've eaten healthy, eaten crappy, eaten 6 small meals, eaten 2 huge meals, I don't get it. Part of me is pleased about the lack of weight gain but part of me is concerned. And I have a leg injury so I'm not exercising. I've gained a lb or two here and there but it always goes away by the end of the week and proves to just have been constipation (ew). Anyone else?? Anyone's doctors have anything to say?? I'm overweight but not obese, I wear a size Large most places.
Anyone still not gaining?

I started this pregnancy over weight, and have been sick since July. I do have a belly that everyone is noticing now, however I have actually lost almost 5 pounds. I have had to cut a lot of food out of my diet because I couldnt stand being sick anymore. The dr hasnt seemed concerned about it yet, and as of my last appointment the 6th, the baby was great.
I actually lost a few pounds in the beginning and last time I was into the dr. hadn't put any back on. She said that at that point she wasn't going to worry about it but if I came back in 4 weeks and hadn't gained any, we were going to have a serious talk. Not sure what it would involve but yeah she would be concerned at that point. (I'll be 20 weeks 5 days when I see her next). I think since my last appointment I may have already gained a pound but I'm not sure if that will be enough for her. I do have about another 2 weeks to gain though.

Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island is a bucket of artisanal popcorn, an expertly made snack of kernels culled from the cobs of Alfred Hitchcock and M. Night Shyamalan.
Set in 1954 on an island off Boston, the film follows the investigation of U.S. Marshals Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) into the disappearance of a patient from the fortress hospital for the criminally insane.
Atmospherically, this psycho-thriller adapted from Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel makes a case that insanity is catching. On Shutter Island, lights flicker, pipes drip, the iron bars in the cellblocks make ominous music. The sounds are underscored - and occasionally overscored, if there is such a thing - by chilling, dissonant passages from composers John Cage and John Adams, completing the effect.

On the next pitch, Mesa hurled a curveball towards homeplate and the Mariners' centerfielder crushed it over the wall in left field to lead Seattle to a come-from-behind, 5-4 win over the Phillies Thursday evening in Veterans Stadium.
It was the ninth-straight victory for Seattle (40-18), all of which have come on the road. The win extended the Mariners team-high winning streak on the road to 13 games.
The Phillies (31-28) had a chance to either tie up the game or win it in the ninth after loading the bases with only one out. But Mariners' closer Kazuhiro Sasaki got Jim Thome to strike out and Bobby Abreu to fly to center, ending the game.
Earlier in the final inning, Philadelphia appeared to have a golden opportunity of knotting the score at five. After Tomas Perez led off with a single, pinch-hitter Jason Michaels scorched a Sasaki offering past Olerud down the right field line. The hit very well could have scored pinch runner Nick Punto all the way from first base, but a fan reached out and touched the baseball. Michaels was awarded a ground rule double, and Punto had to stay at third.
Cameron's late-inning heroics were set up when Bret Boone led off the ninth with a single, and Olerud followed with a walk. Three pitches later, the Mariners had a one-run lead.
It was the first time in 30 games that the Phillies had lost once leading after eight innings. Bret Boone belted his team-leading 17th homerun for the Mariners, one of two hits on the day. His recent hot-streak has his average up to .320, second only to Edgar Martinez (.324).
Seattle took the lead in the first inning when Ichiro scored on a wildpitch by Phillies' starter Brandon Duckworth, but Philadelphia took control soon thereafter.
Duckworth helped his own cause in second inning with an RBI single to right field, scoring Pat Burrell and advancing Perez to third base. Placido Polanco, who came over from St. Louis in the Scott Rolen deal a year ago, brought Perez home with a sacrifice fly to make it 2-1 Philadelphia.
An inning later, it was catcher Mike Lieberthal who would come up big for the Phillies. With two runners on and nobody out, the veteran doubled home both – Thome and Abreu – to make it a 4-1 game.
That's where it would stand until Boone's solo shot in the fouth drew the M's to within two.
Duckworth pitched his best game of the year, out-dueling Mariners starter Joel Pineiro. The right-hander gave up only four hits and two runs over seven innings, and struck out seven Mariners along the way.
Pineiro allowed four earned runs in six innings, but did strike out six.
Julio Mateo, who pitched a scoreless eighth inning for Seattle, earned his first major league victory. Sasaki, meanwhile, got save No. 10 on the season.
Mesa fell to 1-4, and saw his ERA raise to 5.62.

FEDERAL PROSECUTORS in the upcoming trial of six former Traffic Court judges and two businessmen are asking a judge to grant immunity to 79 people in exchange for compelling them to testify at the trial.
It turns out that many of these 79 people have apparently cooperated with the government and allegedly played some role, perhaps minor, in the alleged wide-ranging ticket-fixing scheme.
"In 25 years or 30 years of handling federal cases on both sides, immunities are far and few in between" defense lawyer Jeffrey M. Miller said yesterday. "I've never heard of a case, never been involved in a case" in which the government is seeking 79 immunities in just one case.

I have Maple 2016 on Ubuntu 16.04. I get an error message when attempting to plot with an x11 device, that means I have missing fonts.
I do not get this error message on Ubuntu14.04, so, I think the difference is in fonts installed.
> plot([sin(x),cos(x)],x=-Pi..Pi);> Maple X driver failure:BadName (named color or font does not exist)Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--14-*" to type FontStructWarning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-*" to type FontStruct
I have xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi installed.
Any idea what fonts I need to fix this?

I am working on a Windows machine. In older Maple versions, decreasing the font size for the screen display (via zoom factor) also decreased the font size for the printout. But now the printout comes with a pretty large font size and does not change when using the zoom factor. It practically makes no sense anymore to print. How can I decrease the fonts for the printout to my liking?
I have low vision, and the default fonts in Maple are too small for me to read. I can enlarge the normal input and output using the View/Zoom Factor, and this works very well for me. However, it seems to have no effect on the fonts in spreadsheets.
Can anyone tell my how to make the fonts in Maple spreadsheets larger? I'm using Maple 18 on Windows 8.1. Thank you.
Hello everybody,
Since I am geting older, I need to fix the font size form 12 to 14. I have been tryong to find where to do that permanent change. But without success. Could someone help to to resolve this problem. Thank you in advance for your help.

Dear Maple users

If you're interested in scientific fonts, the 1.0 version release of the Scientific and Technical Information Exchange (STIX) fonts was announced today (May 28, 2010).
See here for its main page, or here for wikipedia's point of view.
On some Linux distributions, the default font (Lucida Bright at size 12) for text mode in Maple's Standard GUI doesn't look as good as it might at the default magnification.
Here's a screenshot of Maple 12 and some text in a worksheet (on my very old Fedora Core 2).
Notice how some letters look odd. The "i" and "s" are mismatched, as are the "u" and "c", etc. The screenshot may not do full justice to its ugliness. That is with Maple's option for font antialiasing enabled (though it wasn't improved by disabling the antialiasing -- those letters' sizes were still mismatched).
This is with Lucida Bright, which as I gather is the "recommended" font for a Java application that is intended as cross-platform. That is used at size 12 as Maple's default style for text mode (on Linux).
So I installed the "Microsoft TrueType core fonts", by following the instructions here.
My old Linux FC2 X server can handle TrueType fonts, as I believe most modern Linux distributions can.
Now I get the following look, first with and then without font antialiasing enabled. It is much improved.
I don't know how the default appearance on other, more modern Linux distributions looks. Perhaps the Lucida Bright 12pt font appears more pleasing on new distributions using the stock fonts. Feedback is welcome.

Vt. Catholic Church settles abuse cases
Three years after paying more than $20 million to close almost 30 priest misconduct lawsuits, Vermont's Catholic Church settled a dozen new cases Wednesday just minutes before the first was set for trial.
The state's largest religious denomination had hoped to rid itself of nearly a decade of lurid headlines and legal headaches in 2010 when it sold its historic 32-acre Burlington headquarters and 26-acre Colchester Camp Holy Cross to make good with all its then-known accusers. But that settlement didn't preclude other former altar boys and young male churchgoers alleging sexual abuse from filing later lawsuits.
Lawyers for the first of 12 new plaintiffs were scheduled to argue their case in U.S. District Court in Burlington Wednesday at 10 a.m. But attorneys for the statewide Roman Catholic Diocese offered a settlement just minutes before the start of opening statements.
Neither church counsel Thomas McCormick nor Burlington lawyer Jerome O'Neill, representing all but two of the three dozen past and present plaintiffs, would reveal the amount of the settlement.

Plug -2.8 into the Swingometer and you'll see 5 districts swing. Louisiana's second district was the fifth closest seat won by a Republican in 2008, and that Republican was Joseph Cao. He beat William Jefferson, the now-convicted felon who received bribes and kept the cash hidden in his freezer.
By election day Jefferson had already been caught, and the money had already been found. Why was the election so close? Incumbency matters.
Zoom ahead to the present. Most analysts have assumed Cao would at best have a difficult race this year, and at worst be crushed by the next Democrat on the ballot. Well, we now have a name for the most likely Democrat to face Cao in November: Cedric Richmond. So pollster Verne Kennedy of Market Research Insight took a look at the race.
That poll shows Cao almost doubling Richmond's support, putting him ahead 51-26 (MoE 5). Even this early in the cycle, I'm amazed that a Republican in such a left-leaning district could poll over 50%, even if he's working hard to keep his constituents happy and earning 54-9 (fifty-four to nine) favorable-unfavorable split. Incumbency matters.
All is not good news for Cao, though. Kennedy is making a specific assumption in this poll: He believes that, says Hotline, "turnout among black voters will top out at 57%" and weighted the results accordingly. So whether we believe this poll depends heavily on whether we believe that assumption.
For reference, Congressional Quarterly says that 64% of the district identifies as black. 57% would be under-representative, but not unreasonably so given the historically low turnout of that group in that region.

Cities in Russia
Cheap Flights to Russia with Vayama starting at $ 472
For one of the only true remaining nonconformist and adventurous places in Europe, make sure you buy flights to Russia. There you will discover a vast land where history was made by the tsars and the word 'oligarch' has become part of the language. It is a holiday worth waiting for so make the break today and book cheap flights to Russia with Vayama.
The country is so huge that trying to see a lot of it would be impossible unless you are planning on staying for months. The best thing to do when organising your holiday and flights to Russia is to concentrate on a few places such as the capital, Moscow, and surrounding area.
Worth the Russia flights alone are the Golden Ring Towns consisting of Vladimir, Suzdal, and Sergiev Posad, not far from Moscow. They all have beautiful churches and monasteries, and are a chance to observe how real Russians live.
Novgorod, meaning New Town, is actually an ancient capital which had its day in the sun during the Middle Ages. Remnants remain including the magnificent 9th century Kremlin, one of the oldest in Russia and the Cathedral of St Sophia, which was completed in 1050 and is one of the oldest buildings in the country.
A little enclave squashed between Lithuania and Poland is 'Little Russia', also known as the Kaliningrad region. Just a short flight from St Petersburg or Moscow, this tiny area is packed full of goodies from stunning beaches on the Baltic coast to historical delights and a positive outlook. The town of Kaliningrad offers the visitor leafy spaces, half-timbered dwellings, and the World Ocean Museum where you can explore a submarine.
Cheap flights to Russia are available from Vayama all year round. Fly to Russia either in the depths of winter when snow transforms the cities into magical places or in the summer when the weather is more amenable. A word of caution though, once you have bought your flights to Russia start sorting out visas as soon as you can because they can take a long time.
Russian Etiquette Tips
Flying to Moscow? Russia is a very proud country, rich in history and culture. As a visitor, you should practice the utmost respect not only to be polite, but you'll also blend in with the locals much better that way. Below are some Russian etiquette tips to help you out on your trip!
1. Dress Attire
- DO dress conservatively for business occasions. Men should wear dark suits and women should wear suits and skirts that come below the knee. Nothing flashy and no bright colors! Shoes should be formal and well polished.
- DO wear skirts as opposed to pants if you're a woman.
- DO cover your head with a scarf before entering a Russian Orthodox Church, if you're a woman.
2. Table Manners
- DON'T begin eating before the host tells you to start
- DON'T put your elbows on the table, but do keep your hands visible on the table and not in your lap.
- DO use bread to soak up sauce or gravy.
- DO leave a little bit of food on your plate to indicate when you are full.
- DON'T turn down an offer of vodka or other alcoholic beverages. It's considered rude.
- DO take bites of food in between sipping vodka. To not do so is bad form.
- DON'T leave the table until invited to. The guest of honor is usually the first to get up.
3. Tipping
- DO tip about 10% at a restaurant if the service was good.
4. Gift giving and Accepting Gifts
- DON'T give yellow flowers.
- DON'T give a baby gift before a baby is born; it's bad luck.
- DO expect a Russian to try to protest if you give them a gift. Explain that it's just a little something and offer it again until they accept.
- DO give gifts such as wine, dessert, or flowers.
- DON'T give even numbers of flowers. Even numbers are for funerals.
5. Body Gestures
- DON'T smile unless you mean it. In Russia, smiling a lot can be seen as insincere.
- DON'T show the bottoms of your feet. It's impolite.
- DON'T stand around with your hands in your pockets.
- DON'T point with your finger. Instead, point with your entire hand.
6. Greetings
- DO shake hands upon meeting.
- DON'T shake hands or greet someone over a threshold. Go into the room first, and then exchange handshakes.
- DO know the less formal greetings in Russia for close friends. Women kiss each other's cheeks three times, starting with the left cheek. Men hug and pat each other's backs.
7. Visitors Etiquette
- DON'T arrive more than 15 minutes late.
- DO take your shoes off upon entering.
- DO dress well.
- DO help your host with preparation and clean-up.
- DO bring a dessert or alcoholic beverage.
8. Business Meeting
- DO be on time. However, don't expect your Russian associates to be on time. Remain patient no matter how late they are.
- DO make appointments as far in advance as possible. Avoid making appointments the first week of May, because there are some public holidays that fall on that week.
- DO engage in some get-to-know-you chit chat before getting down to business.
- DO expect meetings to be sidetracked and interrupted.
- DON'T be impatient. Meetings and negotiations can be slow.
- DO have your business card translated into Russian on one side. Include any advance degrees on it and present it with the Russian side facing up.
9. Socializing and Conversation
- DON'T talk about politics or the U.S.S.R.
- DON'T speak too loudly in public.
- DO discuss topics such as peace and Russia's economy.
Don't let the long list of etiquette overwhelm you. You'll catch on in no time. Just try to remember as much Russian etiquette as possible, mind your manners, and have a great trip to Russia!

Watch Dave Matthews Band's new tour warm up videos
As Dave Matthews Band prepares to hit the road for its annual summer road trip across the United States — which will visit the Marcus Amphitheater July 2 during Summerfest this year — the band is helping fans get in the live mood with the release of two new "Summer Tour Warm Up" videos, and the promise of more to come.
Featuring a look in at shows from last year's summer trek, the two videos represent the band's past and present. The first video — recorded live last May at The Woodlands, Texas — is a nine-minute romp through one of the band's biggest hits and a live staple, "Ants Marching," which anchored its 1994 major label debut, "Under the Table and Dreaming," but also dates back to the band's earliest days and is featured in its 1993 independent live debut, "Remember Two Things." The second video — from the next night in Dallas — is a new live favorite, "Rooftop," from its most recent studio album, 2012's "Away From the World." Watch both videos below. And, as the tour approaches, keep an eye on the band's YouTube channel for new live videos. »Read Full Blog Post

How to Cheat in Photoshop shows you how to cheat in two important ways. First, you'll learn a professional montage artist's proven-to-be-successful tips for getting the best out of Photoshop's many features quickly and efficiently, so that you can create work under deadline while still maintaining quality. Second, you'll learn how to make an image look like something else entirely, for those moments when stock imagery just won't do and you don't have the time (or funding) to set up a photo shoot. Photomontage master Steve Caplin has been a recognized leader in the world of photo manipulation for many years, and in this invaluable resource for designers, illustrators, retouchers, students, and graphic artists, he shows exactly what methods he uses to create stunning imagery used in advertising, publishing, print media, and more. Fully updated to cover all of the new features in Photoshop CS5, this book is also backwards-compatible and can be used with any version of Photoshop. The accompanying DVD for Mac and PC contains over two and a half hours of video tutorials for additional training, and on the book's popular website, you'll find even more resources such as an 'Ask the Author' forum, sample images from other How to Cheat fans, and weekly challenges so that you can test your own skills and see where your creativity can take you. This is a complete How to Cheat in Photoshop CS5 learning package! It includes a fully updated book, a DVD containing all of the imagery used in the examples, over 2 hours of video tutorials, and website featuring a reader forum where your questions will be answered by other readers as well as the author himself. It also includes hundreds of tips and project ideas to help you get started, whether you're working to a professional deadline or just for fun. It is packed with professional advice from a photomontage artist who makes his living creating surreal works of art - you're learning from the best.

His satirical photomontage work is commissioned by newspapers and magazines around the world, including The Guardian, The Independent, The Sunday Telegraph, The Sunday Times Magazine, Radio Times, Readers Digest and L'Internazionale.

September 30, 2016 (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - US officials have threatened Syria and its allies - including Russia specifically - that the collapse of a US-proposed ceasefire will lead "Gulf states" to arm militants with shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.
One U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss American policy, said Washington has kept large numbers of such man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, out of Syria by uniting Western and Arab allies behind channeling training and infantry weapons to moderate opposition groups while it pursued talks with Moscow.However, in reality, ambitions to down Russian and Syrian aircraft over Syria are not Saudi in origin, but rather come from the highest levels of policy and politics within Washington. Washington-based corporate-financier policy think tank, the Brookings Institution, in a paper titled, "What to do when containing the Syrian crisis has failed," would admit (emphasis added):
But frustration with Washington has intensified, raising the possibility that Gulf allies or Turkey will no longer continue to follow the U.S. lead or will turn a blind eye to wealthy individuals looking to supply MANPADS to opposition groups.
"The Saudis have always thought that the way to get the Russians to back off is what worked in Afghanistan 30 years ago – negating their air power by giving MANPADS to the mujahideen," said a second U.S. official.
We must also be clever about employing various options for no-fly zones: We cannot shoot down an airplane without knowing if it's Russian or Syrian, but we can identify those aircraft after the fact and destroy Syrian planes on the ground if they were found to have barrel-bombed a neighborhood, for example. These kinds of operations are complicated, no doubt, and especially with Russian aircraft in the area—but I think we have made a mistake in tying ourselves in knots over the issue, since there are options we can pursue.In a 2015 Fox News interview, US Senator John McCain would admit:
I might do what we did in Afghanistan many years ago, to give those guys the ability to shoot down those planes. That equipment is available.
When asked to clarify his statement as to who would be shooting down the planes, McCain would answer:
The Free Syrian Army, just like the Afghans shot down the Russian...In essence then, the US is merely laundering anti-air weapons and the ambition to use them through Saudi Arabia, as it has done so with all the weapons, terrorists, vehicles, money, and support used to trigger and perpetuate the ongoing war in Syria - with the Saudis at best, merely partners.

Les Vieux Temps
Driving around Acadiana after hurricanes Gustav and Ike and seeing so many small fires in people's yards reminded me of the importance of smoke to people.
At first I thought that the main purpose of the fires was for the burning of branches and leaves, but when I talked to neighbors they pointed out that another reason was that smoke was used to drive away those awful and plentiful mosquitoes. Aerial spraying and pesticides were unheard of in olden times so the first line of defense against mosquitoes was smoke.
Smoke was also used by our elders as a source for preserving food. Almost every farmer had a smokehouse to prepare bacon, sausages, hams, chickens, fish, alligators, and wild game. Even today we enjoy our smoky barbecue meals.
Beekeepers learned long ago that smoke calms bees. The bees, like humans, realize that when there is smoke there may be fire, so the bees go on a feeding response in anticipation of possible hive abandonment due to fire. Without the use of smoke, the beekeeping industry would not be what it is today.
Smoke signaling is one of the oldest forms of communication for mankind. It was used in ancient China along the Great Wall to warn of impending enemy attack. Guards were able to transmit messages as far away as 300 miles in a few hours. Smoke signaling was used in religious offerings in Israel as early as the 5th century BC. It is still used in religious ceremonies today. The use of incense dates back to biblical times. It was used by the pharaohs to neutralize unpleasant odors, to drive away demons, and for other religious purposes.
We all remember old Western movies where the Indians communicated via smoke signals. Most tribes would have a short code or two that conveyed a predetermined message. Most messages usually contained a few puffs of smoke and were done by adding wet grass to a fire and removing it. The blanket as seen in the movies was seldom if ever used.
Smoke signals are still in use today. In Rome, for example, the Vatican uses a smoke signal to indicate whether or not a new pope has been selected. Eligible cardinals conduct a secret ballot until someone receives a vote of two-thirds plus one. Black smoke indicates a failed ballot; white smoke means a new pope has been elected.
One of my favorite songs is "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," written by Jerome Kern and performed by Irene Dunne in a 1935 film co-starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The song was also made very famous by Nat "King" Cole in the mid-1940s and became a number one hit in 1959 for a singing group, The Platters.
Smoke is so popular with the people of South Louisiana that each year there is a Le Festivale de la Viande Boucanee, better known as the Smoked Meat Festival, in Ville Platte, where delicious food coming from clouds of smoke is enjoyed by locals and visitors from all over the world.

Anybody see anything terminally wrong with this ebay item no 140087278572 before I sell a couple of the kids and jump in? I realise that now I have drawn everybodys attention to it the price is going to be silly - DOH!
Towards the end of March you will see the appearance of the Sieg X2 and Sieg Super X3 cnc converted machines on the market. The price is to be announced, but expected to be in the region of �1800, and �2,800 respectively. There will also be conversion kits available.According to my sources they are currently in production and the UK web-site is currently under construction. That's about all I know at the moment, but I hope that helps. FWIW, I wouldn't chase the price up too much on the eBay one, you could be inheriting someone elses problems, on the other hand the seller has got good feedback and is well-establisehd. If I get any further information on the above, I'll post it. Hugh
I would hope that the reserve is lower than the buy it now price, but I'm cheap enough that I'd waste �5000 of my own time and pay more for the materials by buying the wrong thing too cheap several times :-(
Can't see anything obviously wrong, but Why hasn't he finished it?
Mark Rand RTFM
It's not an X3 but an X2 and one of the early Simply conversions. If it starts to get anywhere near the buy it now price it's possible to convert an X1 long bed machine which actually has greater travels than the X2 for about the same price but better spec.
Those conversions used the 3 axis Xylotex driver card running flat out and to be honest it's not a good way to go as if one drive pops the whole board is toast and they have no protection or isolation circuits built in.
If it goes cheap ? and I suppose that's relative then it's a good start and can always be modified later. -- Regards,
John Stevenson Nottingham, England.

Yep - its the old RoHS gotcha. You could always get some shipped to a buddy in the states & get them to forward on.
There is a company in the UK that sells similar boards based on the Allegro chip that Xylotex uses. However, from my own experience using boards based on these Allegro devices, they are very fragile, and can be prone to noise problems (I attempted to construct a workable 4 axis setup using them and failed - the axes would "creep" when they weren't being stepped...never bottomed the reason so I sold off my remaining Allegro-based drives having blown two three-axis boards in the process).
The better option from a number of points of view would be to replace them with decent drives such as the 3A ones sold by Arc. These will handle higher supply voltages and are (in my experience, at least) far more robust than the Allegro-based drives; they also have opto isolated inputs, which is a bonus.
Regards, Tony

Hi Tony, thanks for the info. I've set myself a target of finishing the X2 CNC here by the end of 2007 (it's been going on for more years than I care to admit to), and will likely visit the controller side again.
I'll use the Xylotex to get it up and running as all the noise & decoupling problems have been sorted out, and it's boxed up ready to go anyway.
I've had a look at the Arc 7.5A driver, not that I need anywhere near that current but it does 80V instead of 40V which confers other advantages (and only 20 notes extra).

You're right - the 80V supply capability does confer advantages in terms of the speeds that you can obtain with the same motors (broadly speaking, double the supply voltage and you double the speed for a given dynamic torque) - however, the real advantage that you would gain by that would be more apparent if you were building a large router or a laser cutter, where the improved rapids would be of real benefit in reducing machining time. On a small machine like the X2, you certainly don't need more speed for cutting, and the table is small enough that increasing the speed of your rapids won't deliver much real benefit in reduced machining times anyway. On my X3, I can manage in excess of 2 metrres/min rapids, but I have actually set it for slower max speeds (1 meter/min) as the X3 table moving at that speed scares the cr@p out of me.
Regards, Tony

These Leadshine drivers are also available from Motion Control Products in Dorset. Their page for them is here
The prices are excluding VAT, they do have a slightly larger range than Arc. Also they often sell a bit cheaper from their Ebay Shop.
These Chinese drives are pretty good, I use a few of the 8amp ones on a fullsize machine, and have had no troubles, even after the odd crash.

I don't know, but I suspect the accuracy of the belt drives might be a bit off the accuracy available from a direct drive.
The minimill ballscrew conversion kit mentioned seems to be for an X1 mill, not an X2 - what's that? It ain't an X3 though, however you look at it.
The Z drive - well, who knows? You can't see it, or the ballscrews - and who fitted them?
Simplycnc is a Warco brand, and their machines are usually green, not red.
I don't know whether any of these are deal-breakers, but I'm being picky.

No problem with belt drives, even the 45,000 pound machines use them. You can direct drive a stepper system but servo drives always have to be geared down to get the torque out of the high revving servo's.
No ball screw on the Z but a worn driven drive to the standard rack and pinion. Link to the X and Y ballscrew suppliers in the advert.
This is Simply new web page as they are now tied up with Warco Nice to see them with some new pages as at the recent shows their Warco machine has been sporting an X3 in red on the startup screen <g>
Never, never.<g> -- Regards,

As John S has pointed out, you can do better with the long bed X1 as a starting point, rather than this X2, and going the Xylotex board route for the driver wouldn't be my choice either. Much safer from the maintainability point of view to use three single axis drives rather than a single thre-axis drive.
Mechanically, it doesn't exactly look like a professional job to me either - maybe thats why the current owner was re-working it.
There have been one or two threads on X3 and other small machine conversions in this newsgroup over the past few weeks - worth taking a scan through those before you shell out for this one - unless it goes for a *really* low price.
Regards, Tony

No I didn't ! I decided my budget was what it would take me to get to the same stage with my X1 and since that looks like about 600 so far I ducked it. Oh and the X2 X3 mess-up was me - just wishful thinking I suppose, besides I've got a significant investment in M2 tooling now!
I'm sure I'll re-visit the question.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Recent heavy rains that soaked Kentucky delivered a late-season setback to some tobacco farmers as their leaf ripens, dampening their hopes for a bumper crop after a couple of drought years.
More than a half-foot of rain fell across part of the Bluegrass State last week as the bulk of the burley tobacco crop was curing in barns - an autumn ritual when the long, green leaves gradually change to reddish brown in a process that prepares the leaf for market.
The prolonged stretch of wet weather in the state that leads the nation in burley production at least briefly heightened the risk of tobacco being afflicted with mold or fungus that can rot away part of the leaf.
Fields with uncut tobacco turned into muddy bogs, slowing harvest and hurting leaf quality.
"It's certainly putting a hardship on the farmers," said Nick Carter, agricultural extension agent in Fayette County in central Kentucky.
Will Snell, a University of Kentucky agricultural economist specializing in tobacco, said burley, an ingredient in cigarettes, started out curing well, but the combination of high humidity and rain has been "very hard on the crop."
That has added to the anxiety of farmers growing tobacco under contract for tobacco companies. A poor crop can be turned away or fetch a lower price.
"There's a lot of fear with guys knowing that the tobacco companies aren't going to take low-quality tobacco," said Kenny Seebold, a UK extension tobacco specialist.
"Everybody here is on thin margins. They need all the income that they can get."
A weekly report said some farmers indicated that the high humidity and wet weather are "taking a toll on housed tobacco," according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service's Kentucky field office.
Snell said timing could be crucial in determining how well each individual crop cures this fall.
Burley that reached the barn early in the season "may still do well," he said, but later-planted tobacco housed just before the onslaught of rains "may have some major issues."
Another factor, he said, is that "some farmers crammed the tobacco in the barn too tightly due to limited barn space, and that is just adding to the problem."
About one-third of the statewide tobacco crop - it includes burley and dark tobacco - was rated fair or poor, while the rest was considered good or excellent, according to the latest report by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Two weeks earlier, before the heavy rain, slightly less than one-fifth of the tobacco crop was considered fair or poor. Dark tobacco mostly is grown in western Kentucky and is used in smokeless and chewing tobacco products.
The nation's largest tobacco manufacturer, Philip Morris USA, remains upbeat about prospects for the Kentucky burley crop, which is blended with other types of tobacco in making cigarettes.
"Our perspective is that it looks like it's going to be a pretty good year," said David Sutton, a Philip Morris spokesman.
In Tennessee, also inundated with rain last week, 27 percent of the tobacco crop was rated fair or poor, with the rest in good or excellent condition. Three-fourths of Tennessee's burley crop has been harvested and is in the curing stage.
Elsewhere in the tobacco belt, burley cutting in Virginia was 80 percent complete, as was the harvest of flue-cured tobacco, another type of tobacco. In North Carolina, the burley harvest was 72 percent complete, and the flue-cured harvest was 85 percent finished.
In northern Kentucky, field hand Clinton Yates was slogging in a muddy field Tuesday where yellow, wilted tobacco leaves showed signs of too much rain.
"My boots weigh 50 pounds apiece," he said.
Around him were tobacco leaves stretching only a few inches long when they should extend 2 feet, he said. Yates said only 8 or 9 acres of tobacco in a 54-acre field would be salvageable.
"We're going to put it in the barn and see what it will turn out like - as long as it doesn't rain again," Yates said.

A while ago I wrote about one of my favorite John Wayne Movies, The Quiet Man. The Quiet Man was a romance and a departure from the War and Western films that John Wayne was most well known for. My second favorite John Wayne film, The Shootist is also a departure from his usual role even though it is a western, it is the story of an older gunfighter now battling a greater battle; cancer. Seeking a place to spend his last days, he takes up residence in a boarding house run by a widow who is against everything the gunfighter's life represents while her teenage son harbors a secret desires to be just like the old shootist .
The cast for The Shootist is among the best. Besides "The Duke" as the shootist J.B. Books, the film features Lauren Bacall as boarding house owner Bond Rodgers and Ron Howard as her son Gillom. Despite the film's title you won't find a lot of shoot outs in the film. It's the story a dying man, who wants to die with dignity and perhaps regain a little taste of the life he could have had if his life had not taken the violent turn it did. Yes, John Wayne is still the tough guy, but his view is now tempered as he faces his cancer and the knowledge that there is nothing he can do to win his battle against it. Each character must in the end examine themselves as they are faced with Books' mortality and eventual death.

He continues to hear voices, each time leading Ray to a different era of baseball and one step closer to his estranged father.

John Wayne is one of the most famous and beloved actors of all time. He had an acting style that was uniquely his own. While he is best known for his westerns and war films, my favorite John Wayne film, The Quiet Man, falls in neither category. John Wayne plays boxer Sean Thornton returning to his Irish boyhood home from America after retiring from the ring and from fighting altogether after one of his opponents dies from the blows he suffered in their fight. His desire is to return to the simple life he knew as a boy and the town he grew up in. It doesn't take long before he finds love with Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O'hara), but it is this love that is going to make his life far from simple.
Set during the McCarthy hearings of the late 50's The Majestic tells the story of a blacklisted screen writer named Peter Appleton (Jim Carrey) who, after freeing himself from a car wreck, finds himself in a small town devoid of his memory. He encounters an older man who mistakenly believes Peter is his long lost son. Peter, having no reason to doubt the man, believes this must be who he is and so settles himself down in the town
Cocoanuts was the first feature film starring the four Marx Brothers: Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo. It may also have the distinction of being the first true movie musical, that is, a movie where the musical numbers were meant to be part of the story telling process rather than a performance for audience within the movie. It wasn't that the studio didn't plan to have a band playing with the musical scenes. A "band" was hired for the first day of shooting. Apparently they were to follow the actors around ready to play whenever someone was tempted to burst into song, but the director soon realized there was no reason to have them around and that they would distract from the plot of the movie; something that the Marx Brothers were already managing to do pretty well on their own.
Joan Rivers passed away Thursday September 4, 2014 after suffering complications from surgery. Rivers was perhaps best known for her standup comedy and somewhat caustic wit.

Opening - Season One: It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
Babylon 5, created by J. Michael Straczynski, came to our Televisions in the early 1990's, about the same time as Star Trek's Deep Space Nine. The two are often compared. Fans of each have called one a "rip-off" of the other. The truth is they were both developed and planned independently of each other. Babylon 5 did something that was amazing at the time; it got Trekkers and Trekkies alike talking about a new show. Some of them even thought this new series was better than Star Trek.
This last Sunday brought us the passing of actor, producer and director Richard Attenborough. He is perhaps most recently remembered today as John Hammond, the eccentric founder of Jurassic Park. However, he has been involved in the movies since 1942. Besides being on screen as an actor he has produced thirteen films, including Gandhi and Cry Freedom. He directed twelve films including Gandhi, A Chorus Line and A Bridge Too Far. The library has a nice collection of his films. We hope you enjoy them.

He takes along two interns: one of whom, Darius, ends up applying for the position in order to get the story behind the ad.
Yesterday we lost one of the most memorial actresses of classic film, Lauren Bacall. She exploded on to the silver screen in 1944 in the film To Have and Have Not as Marie "Slim" Browning opposite Humphry Bogart. Few could forget the sultry look and delivery of one her most famous lines, "You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and blow." This film also introduced her to Humphry Bogart the man who would later become her husband, in a life imitates art moment. They were together until his passing in 1957. It is said that she placed a whistle in his coffin as a memorial to the line and film that brought them together. She stared in more than forty-three films in her career. In 2010 she was given an honorary Academy Award of her work in what is termed the Golden Age of Hollywood.
