Run quicker searches on Google by browsing the web with GMarker. It's a quick and accurate add-on that returns the top most relevant search results based on real user feedback. Like with other internet browsers searches get lengthy and almost always return completely unrelated links. If your not a professional researcher this will more than likely get very frustrating very fast. GMarker is designed specifically to reduce the time you spend online and to increase your searching potential. Not only is GMarker returning the best search results but it is also highlights them right on the browser page without making changes to Google's format. This means that you no longer have to go through pages full of useless links and use more than one search engine to get the answers you want. You can also use GMarker with both Google and Firefox, which is a huge plus. This gets rid of the need to download yet another to your computer if your already running on Firefox. GMarker is also totally free of charge to you and its available for downloading to anyone at any time. Another great thing about having GMarker is that it wont slow down your search and you wont have to click through only sponsored links, multiple annoying pop-ups or spam.

By ANDRES CHAVIRA
Tucson Botanical Gardens and Pima Community College are partnering to bring a blockbuster Frida Kahlo art exhibit to Tucson.

SandScript wins first place in national competition
by ALYSSA RAMER
Pima Community College's SandScript 2015 recently won awards from the Community College Humanities Association. It was named National Winner and First Place Winner in the Southwestern Division of its Literary Magazine Competition.
SandScript is a printed collection of student art, short stories and poetry compiled by the Literary Magazine Workshop class (WRT 162) .
Sathya Lacey has worked closely with the publication and was in WRT 162 during the Spring.
"Last semester was my first time working on SandScript," he said. "I started off as our submissions manager, mostly working in the office, printing out and organizing the submissions into packs for the class to read, as well as putting together the digital files of the artwork for us to look at."
Lacey moved up through the ranks quickly and is now the assistant editor. "I was the person maintaining the screen of anonymity for all our submissions," he added.
Lacey helped assemble the winning edition.
"Working with everyone on the staff to get the magazine published and presented was a huge sense of accomplishment," he said. "It's quite amazing having a tangible piece of beauty that I know I helped bring into the world. I also was given the chance to help elevate the artistic voices of so many talented contributors."
SandScript has won the Southwest Regional Award for four years now. The first place winners include Daniel Kylma Bahman, for his short story, and Patrick Cobb for his artwork.
Khrystle M. Chavez won third place for her artwork, while Mariana Ceja won third place for her poetry. The awards will be accepted in Phoenix in November at the CCHA national conference.
"The award is a definite cherry on top," said Lacey. "I knew in my heart that the magazine we made was incredible, but to have someone else looking at many magazines and choose to highlight ours was a big moment."
Joshua Cochran, the advisor of SandScript and teacher of WRT 162, the editor Danyelle Khmara, and the rest of the student staff contributed greatly to the effort.
Lacey hopes to spread the word about the magazine around campus so others can experience it.
SandScript comes out in May, and includes submissions from both the fall and spring semesters.
Fall submissions are being accepted for its 2016 publication until Dec. 12. The spring deadline is March 2, 2016. All the submission rules and guidelines are listed online.
For students entering work, please do not include your name, only your student identification number to prevent bias. For artwork submissions, only a photo or a scanned file may be entered. Concerning prose and poetry submissions, please proofread work beforehand.

We know that Duke will need to find replacements at both kicking positions this year. At punter, Duke will replace 4-year starter Trey McDonald with senior Chris Sprague. After transferring from junior college before the 2004 season, Sprague was originally slated to redshirt. When Duke needed to find a reliable kickoff man, however, he stepped up and helped the Devils in that role. As the only scholarship punter on the team, Sprague will need to provide consistency and stability to a position where Duke has had few questions over the last four years.
We also know that Duke will once again have great kick coverage units. The Devils allowed a paltry 15.4 yards per kickoff return, easily the ACC's best mark. Special teams standout Zack Smith leads this unit as the fearless "wedgebuster", taking on the meat of the opponent's blocking wall. Not to be outdone, the Duke punt coverage team was also among the league's best, led by standout "gunner" C.J. Woodard.
Duke also discovered a dynamic kick returner last year in rising sophomore Chris Davis. He finished third in the ACC and in the top 20 nationally, averaging 25.8 yards per return, including a dynamic 94-yard TD against Maryland. Davis has been elected preseason second-team all-ACC return man, which indicates the level of respect he has earned in his short career.
What we don't know:
We don't know who will step up and be the first string kicker this fall. With the recent news of Alex Feinberg leaving the program for a season, Duke will have two players vying for the top job. Incoming freshman Joe Surgan possesses a cannon leg and was the top rated high school kicker in Florida last season. He will battle with returning walk-on kicker Randy DeSmyter for the starting role. DeSmyter has really improved his leg strength and accuracy over the past year, and will not be a pushover. Still, it is difficult to imagine Surgan losing this battle.
While having a reliable kick return game, Duke has struggled mightily over the past four seasons returning punts. Many players have tried their hand at this chore, but none have enjoyed much success. Chris Davis will probably get first crack at the job, but don't count out players like Jabari Marshall, or even one of the freshman wide receivers such as Marcus Jones or Eron Riley.
Freshman PK Joe Surgan – While departed senior Matt Brooks enjoyed a fine moment last season with his game-winning 54-yard kick against Clemson, he spent most of the season struggling with consistency and distance with his kicks. Surgan has a dynamite leg and has 50+ yard range. Another facet of Surgan's game that can't be overlooked is his kickoff ability. Last season, he put 90% of his kickoffs OUT of the end-zone. If he can consistently produce touchbacks, the Devils will gain a field position advantage they rarely enjoyed last season.
What will happen in 2005:
Duke will once again have a solid season covering kicks and punts. Chris Davis will return at least one kickoff for a touchdown, and will also seize hold of the punt return duties. Joe Surgan will win the kicking position and provide Duke with its most consistent kicker since Sims Lenhardt. Surgan's leg strength will also prove to be a weapon on the kickoff team. Sprague might struggle with his punting consistency, but will mix a few eye-popping punts in. If he can become more reliable, the entire Duke special teams will be a big asset for the upcoming season.

Resurrecting an idea that surfaced a few years ago, but led to no meaningful legislation, the House gave overwhelming approval last week to House Resolution 4, which proposes a settlement with the state of Tennessee in a supposedly long-standing boundary dispute.
By way of brief explanation, the initial boundary between Georgia and Tennessee was the 35th parallel of north latitude, but an 1818 survey erroneously placed the boundary about a mile south of the 35th parallel. There have been some legal efforts to adjust the boundary over the years, but nothing that has overcome observance of the 1818 survey as the boundary between the two states.
The legislative aim of HR 4 is to prevail upon the state of Tennessee to move only a portion of the boundary to the 35th parallel. Not coincidentally, moving the small section of boundary described in the bill would give Georgia access to the Tennessee River and its water.
Interestingly, HR 4 comes on the heels of suggestions made in recent years that Georgia could expand road and rail links to Chattanooga in exchange for Tennessee River water, or that the role of Chattanooga's airport, given its proximity to Atlanta's busy airport, might be expanded in exchange for access to the river's water.
Tennessee officials have, according to published reports, regarded Georgia's efforts to get at the Tennessee River with some bemusement.
As far as HR 4 is concerned, what makes it different from earlier legislative maneuvering is that it has the backing of both Democratic and Republican leadership in the House, which may account for the 171-2 House vote in favor of the measure. For the record, all of Athens-Clarke County's House delegation — Republicans Chuck Williams and Regina Quick, and Democrat Spencer Frye — voted in favor of the bill.
The bill has been read in the Senate, and will be the subject of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing today. Of course, even if the proposal sails through the Senate, lands on Gov. Nathan Deal's desk and gets his signature, there's no real incentive for Tennessee officials to accept its proposed adjustment of the boundary, outside of whatever concern they might have about the state of Georgia engaging them in some sort of protracted and expensive legal battle over the boundary.
But, briefly, for the sake of argument, let's say that Tennessee does decide to accept Georgia's proposal. At that point, some serious concerns would emerge. Getting the Tennessee River's water into Georgia would require pumping it across at least one — and in the case of metropolitan Atlanta, two or three — river basins.
The environmental and other possible impacts of interbasin transfers are not completely understood, and state law currently prohibits interbasin transfers into metropolitan Atlanta.
A legislative effort to halt that prohibition failed last year, but if HR 4 did manage to bring Tennessee officials to the table, it's a safe bet that the interbasin transfer issue would be revisited. At that point, the legislature's efforts to get at the Tennessee River would cease being an entertaining sideshow and would demand serious attention.

I'm very shortly about to order a significant amount of 009 track and points - all PECO, I know that you can do better if you build your own but I simply don't have the time.
One thing concerns me, I currently use SEEP point motors for my 00 gauge track, all well and good and I've had no problems. However the "auxiliary switch" so to speak is nothing more than a slider between two contacts on the PCB and I'm concerned that if used with 009 gauge track there won't be enough throw on the points for the auxiliary to work as designed.
Anyone here running 009 and can advise?
"Chris Wilson" wrote
I don't think you'll have a problem Chris, but if you do you can always add a small microswitch. You're aware, I assume, that the 009 points are 'Insulfrog' and that there's no need for a switch to change the frog polarity.
John Turner said the following on 15/11/2006 23:55:
And it's this 'Insulfrog' that seems to be the cause of so much poor running of many OO9 layouts I've seen. Short wheelbase, big dead section, not good!
John Turner wrote:
Not in recent years - Peco 009 points have been electrofrog for a looooong time now, in fact the old insulfrog ones are very difficult to find any more. I can't comment on the effect of the limited throw on the auxiliary except to say that it's probably equivalent to N-gauge points, which will have the same throw. Personally I use an arrangement of two capacitors and one side of a DPDT switch which can operate a twin solenoid without the need for passing contacts, and that gives me the other side of the switch spare for switching the frog.

I wondered as soon as I'd posted my message and when I came to check today found I was wrong. Thanks for correcting me! :-)

I had to think about that but now I've figured it out in my head that's a very good idea. What size/type capacitors do you use? I don't have any at all at the mo to have a play with.
Chris Wilson wrote:
I got a batch of 2200 microfarad electrolytics a while ago from Radio Spares. One or two across the supply, then one for each point between the switch centre contact and the negative power terminal. One solenoid connects between the positive power terminal and one of the switch contacts, and the other between the negative power terminal and the other switch contact. There's never a DC circuit so there's no risk of heating the solenoids; when it's switched one way it charges the smoothing capacitor(s), the other way it charges the capacitor on the point, and the only current flowing is the transient on switching as the relevant capacitor discharges, so no need for a CDU. The drawback is that you need a capacitor for every point motor (although you can drive eg a crossover with a single capacitor) so it costs a bit.
The scheme wasn't my idea - I got it from a fellow Ipswich club member, Bob Wilkinson, who's used it on several other layouts - but I wouldn't use any other arrangement now.
On a related point, my daughter told me about a friend of hers who's making a railgun using capacitors from the flash units from used disposable cameras - apparently camera shops are happy to give them away. Anybody know what sort of size capacitors they use?

Hi Dave,

The idea has been around a long time -- I remember seeing it in mags in the fifties. Here's a diagram:

Yes, I was being rather imprecise there. What I mean is that there's no need for the constant current charging circuit that would be included in a commercial CDU for electric pencil switching - an advantage for me, as my electronics skills aren't up to much more than putting a few capacitors and switches in the right place. The big advantage, as the web page Martin gave says, is that the switch indicates the point direction, so it works really well on a track diagram style control panel.

Far be it for me to criticise a ciruit that has apparently been around and in use since the 1950s, but the circuit Martin linked to only discharges through one of the coils, and even then only if it has had a chance to charge in the first place (hence the need to switch in each direction on first power-up). The other coil will never have the capacitor discharge through it - it can only be used to charge the cap. Therefore the only initial "oomph" it will get is from what the power supply can give it, rather than the capacitor.

Ah, good - someone else has raised what's been bugging me since I looked at the circuit. :-)
Paul Boyd wrote:
That's why I put a pair of 2200 microfarad smoothing capacitors across the supply - the other coil gets its impulse from the smoothing capacitors discharging into the point capacitor. In fact, the circuit I use is slightly different in that the capacitor and switch are the other way round - the centre switch contact goes to the high voltage rail and the two outer contacts go to the two solenoids. This means that there are four wires per point motor rather than three, because there can't be a common return; not much of an issue if you haven't got too many turnouts, but on a big layout it'll be significant. I'm not entirely sure the circuit in the diagram is right, but the version I use works very well.
The cautionary note about the capacitors retaining their charge is worth noting. After switching the power off I can switch a point back and forth typically 10-12 times on one of my layouts, and waiting a few hours doesn't make much difference. Only having a single 2200 microfarad capacitor across the supply seems to make it more like 3-4 times. Worth knowing if you're testing the circuit or altering the wiring - those big capacitors can give quite a spark.
Dave Rogers
Hi Paul,
> Far be it for me to criticise a ciruit that has > apparently been around and in use since > the 1950s,
Why not you? <g> Nothing's perfect, criticise away. But it's almost certainly older than that, the date I gave was the first time I saw it. In those days the capacitors were massive, but you could apparently buy them in your local ironmongers!

That's true, and why I didn't describe it as a "CDU", although I see someone else tried to. This design needs an adequate power supply. It doesn't make up for a feeble one.
In fact a power supply which is only barely adequate without this circuit probably won't work with it -- you need a decent sized transformer. I covered this point in the discussion on the 7mm Yahoo group (the reason I originally prepared the diagram).
The main advantages of this circuit are:
a) you can use any simple 2-way switch: toggle, slide, rotary, home-made, whatever -- it doesn't require a momentary contact.
b) that means that you can also use it with relays and logic to control the points.
c) most such switches usefully indicate the points direction on the panel diagram. Especially if you use a rotary switch with a pointer knob (but make sure it is a break-before-make pattern).
d) it is impossible to burn out the point motor coils. (Unless the capacitor fails -- make sure the capacitor voltage rating is at least 25 volts for rectified 16vac supply.)
But a CDU it ain't. Or at least, only in one direction. If the points are stiffer one way than the other, it's worth arranging that to be the discharge direction.
p.s. The circuit actually described by Dave requires a 4-terminal point motor (i.e. independent coils). The circuit at: http://www.85a.ision.co.uk/info/solenoid_motor.htm works the same way, but allows for 3-terminal point motors with a common coil connection.
Martin. ------------------ http://www.templot.com
There's a circuit on the Modratec website (modratec.com/mud/php) that uses diodes as well as a capacitor so that you only need one wire plus the return wire to each point motor, instead of two. However, as far as I can see it is still only a "half CDU" in the same way as Martin's and Dave's.
Has anyone come across a simple circuit that can operate both coils by capacitor discharge using a toggle switch? I have an idea that with diodes this should be possible -presumably you would need two capacitors per point and a DPDT switch not an SPDT - but the details are beyond me unfortunately.
I'm interested in this as I have a bank of old Post Office keys that I want to use as a lever frame but using capacitor discharge if possible.
Hi John,
> Has anyone come across a simple circuit that can operate > both coils by capacitor discharge using a toggle switch? > I have an idea that with diodes this should be possible
I would advise against mixing diodes with capacitor discharge. For reliability you would need some robust high-current diodes which will cost more than any saving in connecting wire.
Why bother with capacitor discharge units? All you need is to do as Dave has done and beef up the power supply with some capacitors across the output. This works fine for all methods of working impulse solenoids -- passing contact switches, centre-biased toggle switches, electric pencil + studs, etc.
If you add an additional capacitor per points-motor as in the circuit we have been discussing, you don't even need a momentary contact -- ordinary 2-way switches work too, such as your PO keys.
It works. It's simple. No diodes to fry. Why would you want more?
Martin. ----------- http://www.templot.com
Martin -
That's very helpful - thanks.
I have no particular desire to make things more complicated than I need to; in fact, quite the reverse. I suppose I have become used to CD point operation over the years and for sure the three circuits I have seen - yours, Dave's (if I have visualised it right) and the Modratec one - all feature CD for one of the coils but not the other. As a result I had wondered if it was possible to use CD for both coils, but I think I see what you mean when you say that beefing up the power supply does away with the need for this.
So if I can follow this train of thought a little further, bearing in mind that words are no substitute for a diagram, I assume that your circuit also could have a capacitor added in parallel with the power supply to give the same effect as on Dave's? If so I think the Modratec circuit could as well. One advantage of the Modratec circuit is that only two wires - one feed and one return - need to be run from the switch to the point motor, thus cutting down on the inter-baseboard connections. However, it does need diodes to achieve this.
So, I think my choice will be between the Modratec circuit with added capacitor (two wires, with diodes) and your circuit with added capacitor (three wires, no diodes).
Any further thoughts would be most welcome.
Hi John,
> I assume that your circuit also could have a capacitor > added in parallel with the power supply to give the > same effect as on Dave's?
Yes, sure. Whether you really need it depends on the size of the power supply. I would use a 100VA transformer and a 10A bridge rectifier, which is more than adequate by itself to throw any ordinary points-motor. If you have a smaller supply you can beef it up by adding one or more capacitors in parallel with the rectified output. They should ideally be rated at least 35volts and designed for high-ripple currents, but it depends how rugged a system you want to build. Make sure the supply's bridge rectifier is good for at least 50volts PIV, preferably 100volts.
> One advantage of the Modratec circuit is that only two wires - > one feed and one return - need to be run from the switch to > the point motor
The circuit at:
also requires only two wires per points-motor. The third connection is to the layout ground (common return) which already exists on each baseboard. If you prefer a separate return for the points-motors, that is still only one additional wire per baseboard. There's no real need, providing the existing return is done with good thick wire, as it should be.

How Vikings Really Fought: Gotta-See Video
Sword fighting is back in style (assuming it ever went out) with as movies like Lord of the Rings and television epics like Game of Thrones leading the charge. Vikings were fighting here in the New World long before the rest of Europe made it across the Atlantic, but how they were fighting is somewhat of a mystery, until now.
This father-son duo are professional fight choreographers, so they understand the body movements, dexterity and strategy behind sword fighting as well as anyone alive. Here you can watch them wield Viking steel and fight Viking style, however, they have many critiques of the Hollywood influence on how we think sword fighting should look.
Watching them fight looks more like controlled flailng then what we'd think of swordfighting, but I'd wager that's due to the heavy influence of stage fighting which is in turn influenced by fencing.
As it turns out, when a hoard of Vikings landed on your shores, thrust and parry wouldn't keep you alive as easily as slash and hack. via Wimp

There are these things called TV Tuner cards for computers. They have Component in jacks. You can plug a console in and play it in a window on the monitor. I used to do this with an ATI All-In-Wonder.
I used to have some Ocarina of Time Gameplay that I video captured this way.
Anyway, that's very obviously what he's doing here.
Put the IR bar under the monitor, Plug the Wii into the Tuner Card, Play Wii windowed in Windows. No Emulator involved.
And he borrowed a second Wii. Because holding up one Wii proves you don't have another on the floor plugged into the computer. Really.

We are a backyard specialist! (No bucket access). When a bucket cannot access the area we have multiple certified climbers that can safely and efficiently access the tree. We never use climbing spikes to climb except on removals. Spikes leave open wounds that spread disease and are very detrimental to the tree and can often lead to death.
"I have loved trees ever since I was young but unfortunately didn't always know how to best take care of them. After watching a hackberry decline when I was young in the backyard after improper pruning. I decided I wanted to learn to take care of trees the right way."

Cross Canadian Ragweed coming to Dawson County Fair
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, June 1, for Cross Canadian Ragweed.

According to Cross Canadian Ragweed's website, at www. crosscanadianragweed.com, the band has sold more than a million albums, signed a major label deal and sold out venues from New York to California.
Appearing with Cross Canadian Ragweed will be country-music band Jonathan Singleton and The Grove.
Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door the day of the show.
More information about fair activities, including the 4-H part of the fair, will be published at a later date in The Times.
Other grandstand entertainment at the fair includes:
Wednesday, July 14, 5 p.m.—Presentations by area high school drill teams and cheerleaders in front of the grandstand.
Thursday, July 15, 7 p.m.—Demolition derby in front of the grandstand.
Sunday, July 18, 6:30 p.m.—Stock car races in front of the grandstand.

Star football recruit flashes hundreds
The NCAA makes millions of dollars off of their athletic programs but the star recruits who help pack the arenas and stadiums have little to show for it other than an education - if they stick around long enough to graduate.
The NCAA needs to come up with a way to pay players in profitable sports. College students need money. Sometimes you want to eat something different than the cafeteria food or you may want to go out on a date or buy clothes. Some may even need to send money back home to help support the family.
Paying athletes is the right thing to do, especially when universities are making more money than they ever did due to television and shoe contracts.
This week a highly rated Texas high school wide receiver KD Cannon, posted a picture of himself with hundreds of dollars in his lap. The caption read: "It's real out here ya heard me." He deleted the post, but people want to know where did all of that money come from.
So far 14 schools have offered Cannon a scholarship and while there is no indication that the money came from a school trying to recruit him, the last thing a university wants is the NCAA sniffing around one of its recruits.
Cannon is 17 and I'm sure he regrets the post. He surely opened himself up to being a person who can easily be influence.
The NCAA can cut down on young athletes falling into the traps by paying them. Will paying athletes knock out all the leeches in sports? No, but it can help. It could also be the incentive to keep an athlete in school longer.

Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
The Space
We are pleased to offer the 5th night for free when you pay for 4 nights in April and November 2016. Simply enquire for the dates you want to join us, and we will adjust the price before confirming your booking and before your payment is made. This special offer is valid for new bookings only, for travels between Apr 1st and November 30th, 2016. Discount is not valid on cleaning and airbnb service fees.
Please note our neighbours will build a new villa from Nov 1st. Construction should run until the end of May 2017 and some noise nuisance is to be expected while you are at home. The construction will stop between Dec 21st and Jan 4th.
Villa Bamboo is a picturesque 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom villa located on the hillside of Grand Cul de Sac, overlooking the lagoon, the ocean and La Tortue island. Beautiful sunrise!
The king bedroom and comfortable living area open onto the covered deck which leads to the inviting pool and open sun deck on two levels.
The beautiful bathroom has a glass door from which guests can take a shower and then jump into the pool! Enjoy the view while preparing breakfast in the perfectly placed open-air kitchen.

Guest Access
Villa Bamboo is one of the few private residences in Grand Cul de Sac located directly on the beach. You will enjoy extended panoramic views of pristine lagoon and breathtaking sunsets. The beach is in front of you: a 4 minute walk will allow you to bath in the sea. You might also like your private swimming pool anytime of day or night.
Interaction with Guests
You will meet my sister Sarah or her partner Vincent on arrival. Should you require anything, they live nearby.
Bambou is our family property: no agents will be between you and us. Sarah works in a travel agency, she can advise you on flights to St Barths and Car rentals.
The Villa is a private Villa so therefore everything is for the enjoyment of the Guests.
The Neighbourhood
About Grand Cul de Sac: the shallow reef-protected bay makes this a popular spot for water sports, especially kayaking and kite-surfing, with lots of pit stops nearby.
Getting Around
Your drive will take about 15 min from the airport to Villa Bambou.
Other Things to Note
NOV 2016-MAY 2017: There will be some construction going on next door as a new house will be built (heavy construction starts around Nov 2016), this is why the rental price is discounted. By booking, you understand that we have no control over the noise of this construction as it could start as early as 7am. We suggest you plan your day around the beaches and enjoy the house from 4pm when the construction workers finish their day.
NOTE THERE WILL BE NO CONSTRUCTION GOING ON BETWEEN DEC 21st 2016-JAN 4TH 2017
This is a non smoking property. You can however smoke on the outside deck.

The term "visual aid" is unsuitable for TD996. This is an accessory that ushers in a new you, emphasizing your clear view on fashion.
The rimless frame recedes discreetly into the background, giving it a sophisticated flair. The frame is reminiscent of an inverted trapeze. Because the frame is wider at the top, the side edges narrow downwards, giving a softer look to the face. The metal frame is very light and comfortable to wear. It is both robust and classy. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
The glasses are in stock. If you order now, we can send out your glasses immediately. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.
