of Public Health. In the last 5 years, Dr. Siddiqui has obtained research support
from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, National Institutes
of Health and other agencies totaling about $3.5 million. His research has previously
been funded by National Research Council of Canada, National Foundation for Infectious
Diseases, Thrasher Research Fund and Health Resources and Services Administration,
among others. He has authored over 57 peer-reviewed publications and numerous book
chapters/reviews. Dr. Siddiqui serves on the Editorial Board of Parasitology Research,

has recently been awarded the prestigious Fulbright Research and Teaching Award for
Southeast Asia. The Fulbright Program is an international educational exchange program
sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to "increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States and the people of other countries."
Dr. Siddiqui's research interests include: Vaccine discovery, development and testing
for human parasite Schistosoma mansoni and Stronglyloides stercoralis hyperinfection.
For over 20 years Dr. Siddiqui and his group has been working toward developing a
vaccine against the human parasitic disease, schistosomiasis. This disease afflicts
over 200 million people in 76 different countries; and an additional 800 million people
are at risk of acquiring the infection. There is no vaccine available to protect against
this infection. His group has identified a vaccine candidate, Sm-p80, which plays
a pivotal role in the surface membrane renewal of schistosomes, a phenomenon employed
by hemo-helminths to evade host immunity. They have tested prophylactic and therapeutic
efficacy of Sm-p80-based vaccine formulations in mouse and nonhuman primate models.
Their published data indicate that Sm-p80 is now ready to be moved into the next phase,
i.e., Process Development, Formulation, Stability/Potency Testing, cGMP manufacture
leading to IND filing with the final goal of Phase I/II human clinical trials. Dr.
Siddiqui holds a US and international patent on Schistosomiasis Vaccine Compositions
and Methods of Use. The development of a schistosome vaccine would be a major breakthrough
and as the first anti-helminth vaccine could impact up to 1 billion people. An effective
schistosome vaccine would contribute significantly toward reducing the disease spectrum
and transmission of schistosomiasis.
Dr. Siddiqui's other research interest is on the parasitic disease, strongyloidiasis.
His work has led to the hypothesis that the major cause of hyperinfection with Strongyloides stercoralis is due to the direct effect of corticosteroids on the parasite and not necessarily
due to the general immune suppression of the host by corticosteroids. To elucidate
this phenomenon we have isolated a corticosteroid receptor from S. stercoralis which is a dauer larva formation gene 12 (daf-12). We are studying the role of daf-12
in the development of hyperinfection. Further the most cited review in the field of
"Strongyloides stercoralis" is also authored by Dr. Siddiqui.

Restricted free agent Victor Cruz was reportedly asking for $10M-$11M per year from the Giants while with his old agency.
The Giants previously offered a long-term deal worth $7M annually and $20M guaranteed, so the two sides were far apart. It's unclear exaclty what Jay-Z and Cruz's new representation will ask for, but we can bet they won't be handing out any discounts. Cruz appears to be seeking a similar contract to the five-year, $56 million deal Dwayne Bowe got from the Chiefs a month ago.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
If you see someone without a SMILE, please give them one of yours!!
I Quilt, I Nap, I Quilt Some More ... Aaaaah, The Good Life!
I also have an eddres you can use if you need to contact me with questions or suggestions that relate to our community: email@example.com
refer to the attached .pdf file to see one suggestion.
once you get the top and bottom halves assembled - minus the fussy cut center - you'd have two choices:
1- sew the two halves together and the inset the center square using a 4-point inset
2- use a 3-point inset to add the center to either the top or bottom and then a 4-point inset to attach the top.
I Quilt, I Nap, I Quilt Some More ... Aaaaah, The Good Life!
I also have an eddres you can use if you need to contact me with questions or suggestions that relate to our community: firstname.lastname@example.com
i thought the bom was going to be all hearts.
She who dies with the most fabric, didn't sew fast enough!
thank you. i just confused myself.
Thank you Sulabug, what a nice compliment, appreciate that. Your blocks and pieces you create are always top notch and I so admire your sewing ability.
Blocks sent boom water http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
Blocks received http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
Batik blocks swap http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...44-albums.html
Jan, I love the colors you are using! I am loving the March block. Thankfully I will have the blocks around for a while. I still am waiting on my Camera Charger. Hubby has sent me two packages, both were supposed to have it in the package, but still no charger! But he said the next box has it in there already! I am making my BOM Quilt out of Black and White Scrappy with a touch of Red. It is looking pretty awesome, especially the Feb block. I did all the stitching with red thread.
Give a smile away today, someone you meet might need one!
Yay, I got March block done. I'm looking forward to more!
I finally took the time to do this block, and had fun with it. I found the directions kind of confusing, maybe because my blocks were laid out different. So I looked at the video I posted previously and it really helped:
I found this video which I think explains it well:
I had a hard time deciding how to lay out my blocks so I found my crayons and colored the pattern to help me decide. I kept it handy to make sure I was keeping my blocks straight the whole time I was sewing:
I used this little gadget hubby bought me at Joann's so I didn't have to mark the 1/4th dots for the Y seams:
I could just place it right under my pressure foot and sew up to it. A tip: Trust that your seams will match up if you do the little back-sewing and wait to press them down until all three sides are sewn together. I was trying to press mine down and keep everything nice and neat, and it didn't line up right and "smoosh" flat.
I found my block was very bulky although I tried to press the seams so they would lock it is impossible in some areas. I often went back and pressed them in a different direction. I pinned through the seams perpendicularly to get them to line up really nice before I pinned the blocks together to sew them.
I'm going with the same color scheme all year, and will probably applique some color shapes to the open black pebble spaces I left on some blocks, or quilt a lot with some pretty multi-color thread.
I can't believe this month is almost over already!! Where does the time go....

How to get kissed on top of the Empire State Building
The Empire State Building is known as one of the most romantic places in NYC, but it has to be done just right or else it could feel like any other tourist trap. I went with my kids and parents once. It was fun. But romantic? No way. So last week for our anniversary, I wanted to try it again. And this time, I wanted do things differently to see if the Empire State Building really could be romantic.
1. Timing. This is most important. Go after the crowds die down at 12am. Last elevator up at 1:15am and everything closes at 2am.
2. Bad Weather. Go on a rainy day/cold/imperfect weather day. You'll have the place to yourself. We went on a day that I swore we would cancel due to rain, but right before we went up, the sky cleared.
3. Plan ahead. Buy tickets before you get there and avoid the hassle of waiting in line. Thanks NYCTrip.com for sending me tickets ahead of time! When I got to the building, I felt like Meg Ryan breezing right to the 86th floor at the end of Sleepless in Seattle. She must have planned ahead too. ha
4. Your date. Go with your favorite person in all the world.
5. Wait for right moment. There will be people asking you to take their picture and a few packs of giggling girls, but I promise you'll get a moment that can only be filled with a kiss. Wait for it.
6. Exit Though the Gift Shop. Afterwards, buy something cheesy from the gift shop. We bought an Empire State Building cookie and a coke. When we walked out of the building, we found a bench and tried to look all the way to the top of the building. The cookie was surprisingly good.
7. Flowers. Flowers on the walk home completes the night. Even if they are carnations.
So did my plan work? Of course. The kiss? As good as any movie. Happy Anniversary Rob. Love you.

so magical! this is my dream!ReplyDelete
I ADORED this post!! You're right; I so often equate traveling to the top of the Empire State building with fending off tourists with cameras, but a late night trip up there could be mighty romantic! I can't believe I've lived here 12 years and never gone up. Now it's my goal to go up before summer is over. Thanks for the inspiration:)ReplyDelete
You two are the sweetest! Love this!ReplyDelete
Your blog makes me smile every single morning. Your sense of humor always comes shining through. I have been to NYC many times, but you show me a city through fresh eyes. Stay that way. Thank you for being one of the first blogs I read every morning.ReplyDelete
You gave me chills. Ahh, I want to feel like Meg Ryan! Taking a trip to NYC next time my bf is in town.... ;)ReplyDelete
Awww this post just made me feel all warm and cozy inside. Happy anniversary to you!ReplyDelete

It sounds like you had a great time on your date:) How did Rob like the date?:) Happy Anniversary:)ReplyDelete
Ow, nice! Happy Anniversary!ReplyDelete
love it - made me miss my husband! you look gorgeous - love the spots and the scarf in your hair. what a special, memorable date!ReplyDelete
thanks everyone.ReplyDelete
Christine: yes, rob loved it too! it was great. :)
What an absolutely lovely post - this made me smile so much. Thank you for sharing! And re: the job hunt, as hard as it is, try not to let it crush your spirit - when the perfect job is meant to be, it will happen.ReplyDelete

I love them, too!ReplyDelete
even if they are carnations? those are gorgeous :) carnations are my new silly pleasure, so frilly & inexpensive! what a fun idea, maybe i'll have to pull myself out of my anti-tourism rut and take a trip with my husband to the top of our equivalent to your empire state building... the cn tower! (not quite as romantic i think)ReplyDelete
- Eliza_janeMarch 30, 2012 at 6:34 PM
This is so sweet. I love it!ReplyDelete
I loved this post!ReplyDelete
- Mackenzie M FieldMarch 30, 2012 at 6:34 PM
Great post. I have never been to NYC, but would love to go, and get kissed on the Empire State Building! Just started following. So glad I found your blog. Looking forward to reading more.ReplyDelete

Women are getting fatter because they've cut back on the amount of chores they do, controversial research claims.
They are burning up to 360 calories less a day than their parents did because they are so sedentary around the house.
Women have also used the hours gained from time saving technology like washing machines to spend twice as much of their lives sitting watching TV than they did in the 1960s.
The findings are likely to outrage working mothers for whom there is still a gender imbalance when it comes to housework.
Despite advances in women's rights in terms of pay and conditions, in many cases they are still doing the bulk of the cooking and cleaning.
The study was carried out in the US by Edward Archer, a research fellow with the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina. Similar studies have also shown the same result.
He studied thousands of "time-use diaries" provided by American women every year beginning in 1965.
He found that back then women spent an average of 25.7 hours a week doing the laundry, cooking and cleaning.
In 2010 things had changed and women were spending an average of 13.3 hours per week on housework.
A recent survey by npower in the UK found a similar trend.
On average women now spend 18.2 hours a week on housework, including cleaning, vacuuming, food shopping and cooking.
This compares to 44 hours a week on average in 1965, according to official figures from the Department for Education.
Dr Archer found that as a result of the change, housewives were burning around 360 calories every day - more than the typical chocolate bar - less than they did in the 1960s.
Working women burn about 132 fewer calories.
In a depressing twist, with all that extra time in their lives women have apparently used it to sit down and watch TV.
Dr Archer found that in 1965 women typically spent eight hours a week catching up on their favourite programmes.
By 2010 that had more than doubled to 16.5 hours a week.
Dr Archer said that the overall trend was to "large reductions in energy expenditure".
He concluded that women needed to "start finding ways to incorporate movement" into their daily routine such as walking to the post box, chopping vegetables or playing with the dog.
In Britain, research shows that women are still doing more around the house than most men.
According to one study from Oxford University, if current trends continue women will have to wait until 2050 before men are doing an equal share of the chores.
Feminist and relationships expert Jean Hannah Edelstein said it was a "preposterous, sexist assumption" to suggest that women should do more cleaning to slim down.
She said: "It's not like men are getting any thinner either - perhaps they should get off their behinds and do some more housework!"

Grim's Tales: No morels, but plenty of oysters
This spring came late, and with it came a late morel season.
I have a favorite morel hunting place deep in the woods that is marked by GPS so I can walk right to it every year.
I waited for rain and warm weather to correspond so I could hunt morels, and I wandered out to my mushroom spot. I was mosquito and tick bit. I found a baby porcupine, and I found tons of "half-free" morels, but I found only two tiny young morels. I left them and decided to come back later.
I returned a few weeks later, and the only morel I found was one of the ones I had found on my previous trip. This time, a deer had trampled it, so I picked it. I had similar luck when I went on a trip with the Paul Bunyan Mushroom Club. I guess it just wasn't the year for morels.
I was given ample mushrooms on a day I wasn't looking for them.
I was doing my weekly lawn mowing for a friend when her neighbor, a local santa, asked me to help identify some mushrooms growing on a poplar tree that broke in half a year or two ago.
There stood a colony of shelf fungi stretching from the ground to nearly 10 feet up the tree. I knew what the mushroom was from five feet away when the wind blew the scent of anise toward me.
I cut one of the mushrooms from the tree. I examined the way the gills extended from the tree all the way to the tip of the mushroom. I looked closely to see insects crawling in the gills, and I sniffed it again to check for the smell of black licorice.
Yup, these were oyster mushrooms.
I took three bags. I filled one with mushrooms that were pocked and full of white worms; I filled the other two with the cleanest mushrooms. There were still dozens of mushrooms when I stopped harvesting.
By the time I got home the smell of the mushrooms had shifted from licorice to fish. I cut the tough parts off of the mushroom, and discarded any pieces with tiny white worms crawling in them.
The rest were cut into pieces and soaked in saltwater brine like broccoli. I moved them to the dehydrator.

Emma S: Welcome! You can do it--just keep plugging away--any little bit helps and gets you a little closer
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Emma S: Welcome! You can do it--just keep plugging away--any little bit helps and gets you a little closer
Laura ya could pick out several o' those other blocks ta go around the star & add different borders ta 'em till they fit tagether. I just love how borders can fix "a multitude o' sins." (Sorry old sayin', it really means mistakes.)
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Gramajo: Thank you for the encouragement. I just ordered a camera, when it comes I will take pictures.
Thanks Bev. I think I am going to pull the star for a table topper, and see if I can just stick that other stuff together. If not, NewBee needs to get ready for a box!! lol
I am working on stuff though. I basted and got the binding ready for a basket weave piece I had played with. Hello table topper!! lol
EmmaS & Lara - I can't wait ta see what ya'll will come up with.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Laura, I love your blocks! If those were my sample blocks I'd put the star in my quilt too. I don't have a picture but a group did a sampler called Just Takes Two last year, it had a big star and loads of other types of blocks and it was fantastic! I think it's such a great idea to make your sample blocks out of like colors! You end up with a fun sampler quilt some day. And who knows... In 100 years someone will remake it and start a following. Do I hear DearLaura?
~If you can't turn the corners of your mouth up...let the middle sag!~
"Be not afraid, only believe."
I've been working on some UFO baby quilts; have 2 done, one quilted, 2 ready to quilt and another top almost ready to go. Was hoping to get it all done this week. Now my sister's coming next week and all we will do is talk, but she's making a GFG from vintage fabric and we're going to raid my stash for additional hexies. Will be fun to work together and talk!
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.
OK - That's gonna be fun!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
I have just been workin' on the PC blocks & the blue & yellow blocks. Well last week I decided that I "had" ta finish somethin'. I pulled out a nearly finished baby quilt fro PL. I worked on it a li'le bit at a time & will finish it taday.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
As February is slipping into the past and March oh so quickly approaches, I want to congratulate everyone on their fantastic finishes!!! Big hugs of welcome to our new members and we are so excited to see your projects and finishes. The train whistle blowwwwssss whoootttttttttt whootttttttttttt, in welcome as you climb aboarddddd.
I have to say I just love how this group has evolved. Everyone is so enthusiastic and supportive. You are all awesome!!! I want to say thank you to each of you for making this such a wonderful place to come and find the support we all need to get these UFOs out and finished!!! Big hugs and smilessssss.
Linda Wedge White
I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.

Radomski to speak at WAPOA annual meeting June 8
The public is invited to attend the Whitefish Area Property Owners Association (WAPOA) annual meeting and free breakfast Saturday, June 8, at Ideal Town Hall, located along County Road 16 west of Crosslake.
Doors will open at 7:30 a.m. for viewing of vendor displays, with a free breakfast to begin at 8 a.m. The meeting will conclude by 10:30 a.m.
The annual business meeting will be followed by this year's keynote speaker, Paul Radomski, research scientist with the DNR's Brainerd office. For more than 25 years he has worked on shoreland development management issues and has published extensively on ecological and conservation matters.
Radomski was the project manager/lead scientist for the Sensitive Lakeshore Studies being done on large lakes in central Minnesota, and he will provide a summary of the study of the Whitefish Chain, published in 2012. See http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/sli/index.html.
There will be a discussion of specifics that property owners should consider to preserve the shoreline habitat and actions all should take to ensure the lakes remain viable for future generations. A few board directors will give brief reports to let people know ways WAPOA is working in areas such as shoreland restoration and battling the spread of aquatic invasive species.
WAPOA always welcomes new members; membership is not limited to people who live on lakes.

Most of my 12 grandkids call me Grandma. My son's 3 daughters call me Grandma Newt. My 2 yr old grand son can't say Grandma yet so he calls me RahRah (that's my favorite!). My husband is Pa to all the kids.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Most of my 12 grandkids call me Grandma. My son's 3 daughters call me Grandma Newt. My 2 yr old grand son can't say Grandma yet so he calls me RahRah (that's my favorite!). My husband is Pa to all the kids.
I'm gramajo. My MIL was grandma (last name). I didn't want the same name so I told GS to call me gramajo. My GD couldn't pronounce it so I was Jojo for awhile. I loved that. My ex was just Grandpa. Other grandparents were Grandma and Grandpa (last name).
My blessed GK call me Nanna. I wanted to be called Nanna_____ by my son's 2 adopted daughters 'cause SIL mom was Nanna too. But Nanna stuck. My hubby passed when daughter only had 3 & he was called PawPaw. That's what I called my paternal granddad & paternal grandma was MamMaw. My maternal grandma was called Nannie. My is still living & she's called Grandma. My dad passed 10 yrs ago & he was called Grandpa.
~ I'm a Blessed Nanna to 2 Grandsons & 5 Granddaughters ~
~ I'm a Blessed Mom to DS & DDIL, DD & DSIL ~
~ Mom to 3 cats, Callie, Buddy & Daisy ~
~ God Bless the USA ~ ~ God Bless Our Troops ~
Our grandchildren and great grandchildren all call us OMA and OPA. My husband is Dutch and that is grandmother and grandfather in Dutch (also German).
The best one I have heard is from my friend Jackie. Her grandchildren always heard Jackie's husband call her Honey, so all her grandchildren grew up calling her Honey too. So Sweet!
There are so many things that can be said about this. I chose grandma because everyone else wanted to cutsie names so they would not sound old.
My mom was called Meemee as is one of my neices not that she GB's. My aunt was called mama by all and my uncle was daddy tom to all.
Granny is a friends of my and mema is another. For a while my nephew called my grandma gumbo. Pick what you like or be grandma until the little one decides what they want to call you.
A friend is someone who knows all about you and loves you anyway.
I'm not sure you always get to choose. Kids have a way of saying something before they talk well and then it sticks. I know a lady called "Mammy" because her first grandchild couldn't say Mamaw. She didn't love it at first, but now the great grandkids call her that, too.
My kids call my mother Mamaw. They call my father Old Bob. He started that when the first one was born and it stuck. He has grandkids from 4 to 25 calling him Old Bob.
When the first one came, I was Nana. Then came the second and he already had a Nana (her other grandkids call her that) and I didn't want him to think anything that I did came from his other "Nana" so to him I am Grammy...lol I get a little confused sometimes on who I am. I just hope they don't have issues...she's my Nana...no, she's my Grammy! They are only about a year apart.
I'm Mimi (with the first I sounding like I as in Kim not a long e) and my husband is Grumpy.
Ellen......I'm gonna go play now
My husband and I are G - Ma and G - Pa. Ever since my oldest grand started talking, this is what we have been called, don't know why he started calling us that - but it works.
Aronel aka Lee
I am Grammy and I love it!! Hubby is Pappaw but the little one calls him Pap Pap. I wish we would have chosen Grampy for him!

Defence Minister Stephen Smith has delivered an official apology on behalf of the Commonwealth government to victims of sexual and other forms of abuse in the military.
His apology, delivered midday Monday to the federal parliament, came after he announced a high-level taskforce, headed by a QC, into abuses in the armed forces going back to the 1950s and left the door open to a future royal commission into the most serious cases.
Victims could be paid up to $50,000 compensation and cases could be referred to the police.
''To those men and women in the Australian Defence Force or the Department of Defence who have suffered sexual or other forms of abuse, on behalf of the Government, I say sorry,'' Mr Smith told parliament. ''You should never have experienced this abuse.''
Mr Smith said that the independent taskforce, headed by Len Roberts-Smith QC, would determine if individuals should receive compensation of up to $50,000, counselling, restorative justice - such as reconciliation or direct apologies from perpetrators - or referral to the police or military police.
The government's response follows a review into Defence abuse, announced in April 2011, in the wake of the so-called ''Skype scandal'' at ADFA.
The review, by law firm DLA Piper, received allegations of abuse from more than 1000 people, dating back to the 1950s.
The Chief of the Defence Force, General David Hurley, issued a written apology today.
''On behalf of the ADF, I say that I am sorry to those who have suffered sexual, physical or mental abuse while serving in the ADF,'' he said.
He said that the range and number of allegations showed that some ADF members had ''failed to understand the responsibility that rank imposes, that rank is a privilege and not a licence for domineering, belittling or predatory behaviour''.
Accusations of sexism and racism showed that ''some have failed to accept that diversity, diversity of age, gender, race, culture and experience, is a strength in the ADF that needs to be built upon and not torn down'', he added.
Mr Smith said his apology would not impact on legal liability. Compensation paid out under the taskforce would not deprive a victim of the right to seek further redress through the civil courts.
Mr Smith said that a Royal Commission could still be recommended for two episodes of abuse. This includes 24 cases of rape at ADFA in the 1990s and allegations of abuse of young boys at HMAS Leeuwin in Western Australia in the 1960s and 1970s.
''There are very serious allegations of abuse,'' Mr Smith said of the HMAS Leeuwin allegations.
Mr Smith said he did not support a broad based Royal Commission into the cases of abuse, because it would not resolve individual claims quickly. ''There has to be a focus on giving the individual concerned an outcome,'' he said.
Major General Roberts-Smith is a former military judge and former Justice of the Supreme Court of Western Australia. Last year he retired as commissioner of the WA Corruption and Crime Commission. He is the father of Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith.
Mr Smith said he had told his Cabinet colleagues Defence would bear the financial cost of the compensation.
"If any organisation sees on its watch inappropriate or bad conduct, in the end there is a price to pay," he said.
From today, complainants can access information about the government's response at a free telephone hotline (1800 424 991).

Ingenious scam discovered
Target 13 Investigates
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - It's moving day for Matteo and Lorraine Moreno and their four children. However, it's moving day because a scammer targeted them. A month ago, the Morenos answered a Craigslist ad of a home for rent and it could turn into a rent to own. A man they say identified himself as Ethan met them at the door of a home on Gossamer street. Here's where it gets ingenious. Ethan had a lockbox on the door with the key to the property. He said he was representing the bank and the property was in adverse possession. Ethan even had paperwork that focused on adverse possession.
Matteo Moreno said Ethan told him 800 dollars a month with no deposit and no background check. Matteo told me, "We hesitated at first, but it sounded like a good deal. Ethan told us that if we kept the property like it was our own that we didn't a deposit and eventually we might be able to buy this property or another one with a low deposit."
Matteo and Ethan met at a bank to seal the deal with a money order. Fast forward to today and Matteo says he got a call from Ethan saying, "He was concerned about me and my family and that we couldn't be in the house." Matteo says Ethan told him that he'd been arrested and so had another person in the company because they had been renting properties that were vacant and not in foreclosure. Matteo told me, "It's devastating. We have four kids. We changed three different schools for our children. Now we're left without a home. Ethan knew we had four kids. I've giving him every dime I have to move into this house."
I've contacted Colorado Springs Police who will only tell me that this is an open investigation. I'm not revealing Ethan's last name. according to the Morenos or the company name so it won't jeopardize the CSPD investigation. Police will only say there could be more arrests and more victims of this scam.
Now let's talk about Adverse Possession. It's a real estate term that is basically squatters rights. In wild west days, you could squat on someone's property and say it's your own after a certain number of years. Now it's much more complicated and takes a lot longer to claim adverse possession.
Be careful if you are looking at rentals online or anytime. If someone says they are a realtor check out their credentials at your county's association of realtors. You can also look for free at your county's assessor's office to see who actually owns the home before you pay to move in.

The talking heads don't think we can win. The 9ers players and fans trash talk so much you'd think they were the eagles. All this talk about Alex Smith becoming elite. Bragging about how they threw for 300 yards and rushed for 300(even though they played a terrible bills teams so it's really not that impressive).
Cruz, Bennet, Nicks, Barden.
Bradshaw, Brown.
Tell me guys.
Did ANYONE OF THOSE TALKING HEADS think Eli was gonna outshoot Rodgers in the playoffs last year?
The 9ers haven't beat anyone. A "decent" 2-3 packers team that gave up a 23-6 lead to the colts, a TERRIBLE jets team, and a equally TERRIBLE bills team that got blown out by that same jets team, and a 1-4 lions team.
We haven't beaten great teams either but the point is that we should be on equal ground. Not on assuming we'll lose.
Strahan himself came up to those D men and basically said "get your *** in gear".
The world is watching.
Make sure you mute the 2nd video for extra power then play them both at the same time.

Amazon 'Fire TV' May Spur Content Sales, Says RBC; Boost to NFLX, P
RBC Capital Markets's Mark Mahaney today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Amazon.com (AMZN), and a $425 price target, writing that the company's announcement today of its "Fire TV" set-top box is "encouraging" for Amazon.
The device helps expand Amazon beyond the existing content in its "Prime" subscription service, to things such as Netflix (NFLX) video and Pandora (P) music, and also video games, and it might spur sales of digital content for Amazon:
We are encouraged by the functionality and the technical specs of Amazon Fire TV – and we believe that an open ecosystem featuring other services in addition to Prime instant video (including NFLX, P, Hulu, etc) will contribute to the overall user experience,
while allowing Amazon to play a roll in content delivery – much like the Kindle Fire. Finally, increased adoption of Amazon Fire TV could be a modest medium term positive catalyst for digital unit growth. We view the release as an incremental positive for Netflix and Pandora, as they will continue to build their streaming ecosystems.
Amazon shares ended the day down $1.03, or 0.3%, at $341.96.

Mitt Romney gets the GOP nomination
On Tuesday, delegates to the Republican National Convention, in Tampa, Florida, formally made Mitt Romney their party's candidate for President. Romney received 2,061 votes. When he got the necessary number of delegates needed for nomination, the crowd began to cheer, "Mitt, Mitt, Mitt!"
Later in the evening, convention goers listened to several speakers. The top applause-getters were Ann Romney, the wife of Mitt Romney, and New Jersey's governor, Chris Christie.
Ann Romney told the crowd, "no one will work harder. No one will care more. No one will move heaven and earth like Mitt Romney to make this country a better place to live."
Christie brought the delegates to their feet—literally. He asked the crowd to stand up to show their support for Mitt Romney.
Wednesday's scheduled speakers include former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan.
Young Republicans
More than 4,000 delegates and alternate delegates from all around the country have gathered in Tampa. One of the delegates is Evan Draim, of Alexandria, Virginia. What makes him special? At 17, Evan is the youngest delegate at the GOP's big show. Evan turns 18 in September. That means he'll be old enough to vote in the Presidential election on November 6.
"The delegates represent who [makes up] the Republican Party and what issues matter to voters going into the election," Evan told TFK from his seat on the convention floor. He is part of a group representing the state of Virginia. "People watching [the convention] at home are looking to the delegates to convey the message of this party and I thought that having a younger delegate here shows that the Republican party is taking into account the issues that matter to student voters."
One of the issues that matters most to Evan is education. He's about to start his senior year at St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School, in Alexandria. Soon, he'll also start applying to colleges. He wants to make tuition more affordable, and to ensure that more students have access to higher education.
Never Too Early to Get Involved
Also part of the Virginia delegation is 18-year-old Emma Grace Byler. On Monday, Byler began her freshman year at Christopher Newport University, in Newport News, Virginia. After her classes, she traveled to Tampa, arriving late at night but ready to get down to business.
"I think that it's time for my generation to realize that it's never to early to start getting involved," she says. "It's our turn, and it's our turn to decide how we want to grow up and how we want our children to grow up."

Thank you for great instructions. Made one and now think I will make several! Love that they are washable.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thank you for great instructions. Made one and now think I will make several! Love that they are washable.
A lot of quilt shops will tell you Warm and Natural is 100% cotton but I have found it is NOT. It has a small non-cotton content. PLEASE if you plan to make these (and I have made several), use Warm Tater batting AND 100% cotton thread. It really does make a difference.
That is a great idea! Thank you for showing us.
Cyndy K
Great idea!
Why do I keep trying to find the "like" button?
Viking Husqvarna 950 S; Bernina 1150 MDA
Glaced cotton thread has a coating that will eventually end up in your sewing machine...do NOT use it for machine sewing..It also states that on the spool info...the reason not to use anything poly for the bowls is the melting factor that could happen in the microwave and ruin it..
Quilt shops in South Carolina are now selling kits for these and are calling them "Koozies"
I have read this tute many times and it is bookmarked. I have made many over 12 for gifts and I do give them away if my husband lets me. He absolutely loves them and uses them any time he has a bowl, hot cold whatever. Thanks so much for sharing this. I appreciate you.
Finished is always better than PERFECT!!!!
What a perfect and useful thing you make... so easy and understandable tute... I am going to make some tomorrow...
Thanks for sharing ...
Thank You So Much! I have been looking for this pattern.
what a fantastic idea, thank you, Margarete Jones

I'm nearly there anyway. I have a bunch of ideas to try and such but am stuck with one question:
How do you start a package in a TBH? Lot's of things to read explain how you stick the queen cage between the frames in other hives. Do I need to hang the queen from the top somehow? Can I just set her in the bottom and the bees will get busy making here a new home on the rafters?
Hmm, quit counting the questions...
And if I start with a nuc, how will that work? Can I set it on the bottom with the queen excluded on the outside (of nuc, inside TBH) and expect that the bees will begin their new comb and the brood in the nuc will eventually move?

The Who's Pete Townshend has apologised to a seven-year-old girl and her father after he mouthed a profanity at them during a recent concert in Canada.
According to the Toronto Sun (via The Hollywood Reporter), the rocker mouthed an expletive at 50-year-old Eric Michael Costello and his daughter, Janey, during the band's concert in Hamilton, Ontario on February 19.
Per the report, Janey, who was hoisted on her father's shoulders and waving a placard that said "Smash Your Guitar, Pete!", and Eric had moved toward the stage when they were singled out by the guitarist.
In video footage posted online, Townshend can be heard saying on stage, "Go away with that sign please, just go away with it, just go away with it.
Don't bring your children...use them. I want to tell you two words but I can't because you've got a child on you."
He then mouthed the words "f*** off".
"I expect a 70-something-year-old man to respect the fact there's a seven-year-old girl standing in front of him," Eric told the Toronto Sun.
"Whether it was directed to just me or both of us, you can't tell - she was on my shoulders and he was looking directly at us. But nobody talks to my seven-year-old daughter like that. Nobody tells my kid to f*** off."
He added, "It all happened so quickly. Some people have explained that (Townshend) had thought that I was using her (to get up to the front) and I want to make it perfectly clear that is not what happened at all and I support my daughter in what she wants to do."
He claimed that his daughter is a "huge" Who fan and was the one who painted the sign.
"I'd like him to know in some small way he broke a little girl's heart," Eric said. "Both she and I were huge fans of the band and now I'm left trying to explain to her that heroes are not infallible. Instead of being this joyous, momentous occasion, it turned into a sad, regrettable kind of incident."
He concluded: "I don't want people to think I'm exploiting the situation. I don't want anything out of this. I would appreciate an apology from Pete Townshend, but I certainly don't expect one."
The 67-year-old rocker (with the help of a local radio DJ) has since addressed the incident, reportedly sending the family a personal letter of apology.
"Apologies and condolences from my side, and very best wishes to you and your family," Townshend wrote, the Toronto Sun reports.
"I asked my friend Mike Tyler to find you so I could tell you that I am so sorry the story about us blew up the way it did, but also to tell you that I sympathise with you both, and your daughter's mother, and that I am most certainly not angry. I was not angry on stage either. I was in rock star mode...the big mouth."
He went on: "I could have handled it differently. I thought of sending someone to find you both and telling you I was not upset, but we were flying to New York straight after the show, and had no time to spare. I wish things had been different. It would have saved you from all this furor.
"I thought your placard was fun," he continued. "I had a job to do (to announce our musicians) and I didn't want to lengthen the show by trying to deal with you directly and in detail.
"I was also worried that your daughter looked a little frightened as the crowd started to follow you down the aisle. The ushers should not have let you leave your seats and walk forward. All that said, you did nothing wrong."
Townshend was reportedly making arrangements to meet the pair in April.
Check out video footage of the exchange here.

Der Aufenthalt in der Wohnung hat uns super gefallen. Die Wohnung ist zentral, dennoch ruhig gelegen. (Alex in Zu-Fuß-Nähe).
Die Ausstattung ist pragmatisch und für einen Wochenendtrip absolut perfekt.
Super appartement, propre, spacieux et bien placé. Nous avons passé un super séjour! Nous reviendrons avec plaisir!
Net appartement met alles wat je nodig hebt; gezellig ingericht en vlakbij een metrostation. Enig minpuntje: de wijk is niet leuk, wat desolaat, vrijwel geen winkels en eetgelegenheden.
Dejlig lys lejlighed med god plads og udstyr. Ligger meget centralt og der er kun 50 m til U-Bahn. Indkøbs muligheder inden for 500 m. God serice og kan kun anbefale denne lejlighed.

It was a very nice apartment where everything was excellent. I had some very nice days. hope I will be back.
Nice apartment to stay with friends. Good service and host. Close to the highlights of Berlin.
Really nice flat in Mitte, very close to a station, shops, baker and some clubs (although we didn't go to them). We enjoyed our stay very much. Danke!
I stayed with five friends in this appartment. The appartment had a nice location and was very clean.
It's located nearby the centre of Berlin.
We stayed 2 nights at this nice apartment quite close to Alexander Platz. Very near to a couple of U-Bahn stations.
Clean, there were loads of towels, sleepers, shampoo and other bathroom stuff which we did not expect. Same for the kitchen, there was coffee, tea, sugar, some spices etc.. quite a nice surprise.
There is a Lidl and also a Kaiser´s supermarket around the corner.
The contact with Myra and her colleagues was fluent and they were very caring. They organized a quite late check-in without any problem and the same for the late check-out.
All in all I would definitely recommend it for a stay in Berlin.
Maybe the only minus is the building block the apartment is located in, as it´s not beautiful, let´s say, it´s an old block from a few decades ago, and the lift only goes up to the 1,3,6,9 th floors, and the aprt. is on the 5th so need to go up or downstairs a floor, which might result inconvenient for old or disabled people.

@ewkerLocale: southeast
Thinking about breaking down and finally getting a GPS. I saw where a few folks had mentioned this one for a beginner.
I know nothing about them so just wondering who has or had it and what your thoughts were on itFeb 16, 2012 at 7:55 am #1840163
Ben WortmanBPL Member
@bwortmanLocale: Nebraska
I have had the Vista HCX for about 5 years. I find it to be very accurate and durable. You can load TOPO maps on it and it will also tell you your elevation once you have it calibrated. The battery life is also very good. (you can use lithium batteries in it al well normal alkalines) I can get a position lock while in my house, so I don't think there should be a problem out on a trail unless you are in a deep slot canyon.
I have no complaints so far, and don't have a need for anything more.Feb 16, 2012 at 8:00 am #1840164

One of my favorite features is that one that allows you to download and print your trip map and elevation profile.
Decent screen, easy to use and reasonably light.Feb 16, 2012 at 8:59 am #1840188
Brad WalkerMember
@brawaLocale: SoCal
Pretty simply, it's a fully featured GPS without a fancier LCD screen. The Alti/Baro/Compass works nicely, but I don't know if they were worth spending extra on.
I'm not sure if the newer etrex have a better chip/antenna, but I haven't had any issues with the vista hcx (except in slot canyons).
I imagine you can get a good deal on them now since the new etrex line is out?
If you get a Garmin be sure to check out gpsfiledepot.com for free maps.
I definitely use mine, but always wonder if I just should've gotten a Foretrex or similar that's smaller/lighter. I rarely take advantage of the mapping capabilities, mainly using it for logging, altitude, and pacing.Feb 16, 2012 at 9:24 am #1840198

Waterproof, barometric pressure sensor, high-sensitivity GPS antenna, WAAS enabled, long fairly battery life, rugged. I love it.

I have an Oregon. I wish I had the buttons of the eTrex.Feb 16, 2012 at 10:14 am #1840221
I own the Etrex Vista Hcx and while it's good, it's old technology.
I have had the Etrex20 for a few months and have tested it side by side with the Vista and can honestly say that for the price difference, get the new Etrex. You'll be wasting your money if you buy the old Vista. There are so many new features on the new Etrex, it's actually amazing they can sell it for so cheap.
Improved features on the Etrex20 are:
– smaller form factor (and lighter – 4.5 oz with 2AA lithium)
– More accurate track logs
– nicer interface
– bigger screen (not much bigger but a tiny bit)
– supports custom maps – this is very cool as you can georeference jpg images (ie. I can convert a pdf park map with trails and local detail, into a jpg and load it onto my gps unit and use the trails on the jpg directly on my screen!)
– supports Garmin's Birdseye imagery – this is the best part, great imagery with my topo maps, tracks and waypoints overlayed on top of the imagery… doesn't get any better than that!
– Fully integrated paperless geocaching if you are into geocaching
– Increased track and waypoint storage.
– 1.7 Gb of built in memory and you can add a media card as well although the 1.7 GB goes a very long way.Feb 16, 2012 at 11:11 am #1840242

@ryan-c-linnLocale: Maine!
Good to know, Mike. I've had a Vista HCx for a few years now, and am quite happy with how accurate it has been, but how much more accurate have you found the new eTrex to be?
And I'm a bit curious about the birdseye imagery… if you have that on the GPS, can you switch from topo to birdseye and back while in the field?
edit– One other thing I noticed is that the eTrex 30, for an extra $100 only adds altimeter and compass. Geez… is it really worth $100 for just those two features?Feb 16, 2012 at 11:33 am #1840255
drowning in spamMember
@leaftyeLocale: SoCal
I never use the altimeter. That's what those topo lines are for. I do use the compass. I don't even bring a regular compass anymore, although I might if I hiked trails (or non-trails) that were harder to navigate than the PCT.Feb 16, 2012 at 11:38 am #1840258
Paul HopeMember
I own the Garmin Etrex Vista Hcx and highly recommend the unit– it has everything that I was looking for:
-Mac compatible
-High sensitivity receiver
-Expandable memory
-Accepts lithium batteries
-Color Screen
If I was purchasing a new one today, then I would probably opt for the newer eTrex 30 however if you can find an Vista HCx for the a good price– pick it up, you won't be disappointed.
If you do a lot of winter hiking, climbing etc then I would stay away from touch-screen devices, it will such having to take off your gloves and thus exposing your bare skin to the wind-chill each time you need to use your GPS. Also practice at home using the device with your gloves on– pressing the buttons, switching screens, making waypoints etc that way when you are out in the field you will be able to use it with ease without shedding hand layers and sacrificing warmth.Feb 16, 2012 at 1:21 pm #1840310
The accuracy of a GPS is always a bit subjective, so I'll explain what I meant by saying the Etrex 20 was more accurate than my Vista Hcx.
The track log that I record is what I use for defining accuracy. I did a series of tests (actually ran 4 different units) with the GPS's in various locations like facing skyward (best case scenario) or in my pocket or my pack. My Etrex Vista Hcx was very good but still occasionally produced "spikes" which are caused by poor reception or poor coordinate interpolation. This was seen on my Vista a few times in my side by side comparisons but never happened on the Etrex20. To date I have never seen anything but a perfect track from the Etrex 20. Whether this means the receiver is better or that it just has better software that hides the spikes is unknown, however it makes me happier.
The biggest difference is in the quality of the track that is recorded. The Etrex 20 does a far better job at putting down more points to deliniate a curve than the Vista. The Etrex 20 is very similar in track quality to my old Garmin 60Csx which had a high quality Sirfstar receiver in it (I still consider that the best receiver I have used).
The Birdseye imagery is an image that is displayed as a back drop to the vector mapping (ie. Topo Canada, City Navigator etc.). You see the imagery in the background and the topo lines, roads, POI's and other features are drawn on top of the base imagery (which is awesome)! You can turn "layers" on and off in the map setup, so I can shut off the imagery or the topo or leave them both on and let them overlay. Garmin did a crappy job at allowing you to upload the various map products separately but that's for another forum discussion. As long as it can be done I'm happy (thanks Google for that one). I suspect they may fix this in a future software upgrade.
With Birdseye you have the ability to download blocks of imagery but are restricted by the block size. You can however, stack a pile of blocks for download to get what you need. I actually find the download pretty straight forward but is time consuming if you want to download a very large area. I'm starting to like their new Basecamp mapping software (hated it originally) but it supports 3D topo and I can drape the imagery over my 3D topo to get a Google Earth type view of the terrain and my tracks etc.
The Etrex 30 has the altimeter and electronic compass just like my Vista Hcx but since I never used either of those features on the Vista, I save $100 by purchasing the Etrex 20.
The Etrex 20 holds 2000 waypoints (Vista holds 1000) and it stores 200 saved tracks while the Vista only saves 20 tracks. This was a big plus for me (I like tracks!)Feb 16, 2012 at 2:46 pm #1840358

Don't confuse GPS accuracy with tracklog smoothness.
For example, if you are standing at the point of 50 degrees 0 minutes north, 120 degrees 0 minutes west, and if your GPS receiver reports 50 0 0 N 120 0 0 W, then that is real accuracy.
Tracklog smoothness is rather different. All GPS receivers use Kalman filtering to smooth the result display, or to get it to throw out the spikes, so to speak. Different receivers use different factors in their Kalman filtering somewhat depending on the purpose of the receiver. For instance, the GPS receiver in a jet fighter is going to have different filtering from the receiver in a hiker's handheld unit. Besides, if you walk a specific route five times, and if all five tracklogs line up perfectly together, that doesn't mean accuracy. It might mean that all five tracklogs had the same error.
Too many times, the error, or lack of accuracy, is really the fault of the underlying map database or the datum of it.

I agree Bob, that's why I said it "makes me happier" when I don't see the spikes, not that it's more accurate.
But if I walk around a sharp curve on the trail and the Gps shows it as a straight line that cuts off the bend then I consider that an inaccurate representation of the trail. My Vista HCx does a poorer job of this than the new Etrex 20, which fills in the gaps a bit better. That's likely all in the software however when I compare the results to a good base map, the track from the Etrex 20 more closely represents the trail.Feb 16, 2012 at 3:52 pm #1840397

"But if I walk around a sharp curve on the trail and the Gps shows it as a straight line that cuts off the bend then I consider that an inaccurate representation of the trail."
Yes, each design of GPS receiver uses different software, so each has a slightly different sampling interval. So, some are better for the jet fighter going straight at Mach 3, and others are better for the hiker going around zigzags in a trail. Further, the same unit may get different results from one day to the next day, and some of that comes from the specific satellites that are in view.
I think it would be great if the receiver allowed the user to input some parameters that would help the receiver software select an optimum sampling interval.
Generally, one thing that will get you improved accuracy is a high-powered local oscillator (clock) in your receiver. Unfortunately, those burn extra battery power, so you find them more in the jet fighter and not in some thing in the palm of the hiker's hand. Geophysicists mapping earthquake faults often get the goosed-up oscillator, and they also use a choke-ring antenna to exclude multipath interference for improved results.

Ryan –
I'm home now so I thought I'd throw up a picture of the Birdseye imagery with the topo mapping detail displayed on top of it. The Topo mapping is 3D capable and I was surprised to see that the imagery drapes over top of the 3D topo. While it looks like Google Earth, it's not. It's Garmin's Basecamp application and I find it way easier to use than Google Earth and my tracks, waypoints, geocaches and topo detail are all automatically supported.
While the Etrex 20-30 series doesn't support this 3D imagery, some of Garmin's other (higher end) GPS's will support the 3D mapping. I don't like touch screen because I use this all rear round and am often wearing gloves so the Etrex was a better choice for me (and better on batteries than the touch screen models).Feb 16, 2012 at 6:09 pm #1840473

Interesting. That does look mighty nice. I quite like Basecamp, although it seems to be a resource hog on my computer. How close can you zoom in with that birdseye imagery and still have decent image resolution?
I have yet to pay for any of Garmin's maps for Basecamp or the eTrex. I've been using free maps from gpsfiledepot.com instead, which seems pretty great so far. I may have to look into the birdseye images sometime, though.Feb 17, 2012 at 6:55 am #1840672

I think the new Etrex 10/20 series are basically same as the Dakota 10/20 series but with the joystick button instead of a touchscreen.
If you have used an Etrex before then you will probably want to stay with that interface, but if this is your first GPS then I would suggest that the touchscreen on the Dakota is much more intuitive to use. Some reviews question the visibility of the screen but I have no issue with this.
"I think it would be great if the receiver allowed the user to input some parameters that would help the receiver software select an optimum sampling interval."
The sampling/calculation period is fixed at 1 sec on this type of GPS, but you do have control of the recording frequency for the track log. On the Dakota you can select from a range of recording frequencies based on time, distance or change of direction (automatic).Feb 17, 2012 at 8:20 pm #1841061
>> How close can you zoom in with that birdseye imagery and still have decent image resolution <<
That depends on a few factors. From what I've seen and read (reviews), the image quality varies considerably depending on the geographic area you choose. You can also choose to download images in three image qualities (Normal, High, and Highest).
I've been downloading Highest quality only and in most areas I've been looking at it's pretty darn good. I have read complaints from other Canadian users that live in more remote areas that say the quality is poor. Apparently, the coverage/quality in the U.S.A. is better.
I've found the quality excellent overall with some poor color matching and low quality imagery in a few areas where I travel but it's still far better than not having imagery.
I agree that the mapping is expensive but I like having decent quality mapping that has the least amount of fiddle-factor involved, so I just pay the price. I also like to have all the searchable POI's that come with the Garmin mapping as I've found that really helpful when travelling.
Here are a few images of the product (from a recent walk in one of our regional parks). The first picture is a screen capture of Birdseye on my GPS. The second picture is a screen shot of Birdseye in Basecamp on my computer. The GPS actually lets you zoom in farther than Basecamp, so I have matched the scale of the GPS to the best zoom level of Basecamp for these two photos.

Seniors win powder puff game
As part of Pequot Lakes High School homecoming, the annual powderbuff volleyball game on Thursday, Sept. 26, featured the senior boys defeating the juniors by winning two of three games while the powderpuff football game on Friday, Sept. 27, had the senior girls defeating the junior girls 14-0.
In the powderpuff football game, the seniors scored first on Vanessa Lane's 50-yard touchdown reception from Katie White.
The seniors eventually regained possession after a quarterback sack by Erin Rudbeck. Lane quickly added a 52-yard touchdown run, and with Shai Peterson's two point conversion run, the seniors led 14-0.
The juniors were moving the ball late in the first half, but an interception by Kelsey Hart ended the threat.
In the second half, Rachel Allen had a couple nice runs for the juniors, but the drive eventually ended on a fumble that was recovered by Ellie Buschmann.
The seniors quickly moved the ball to the juniors' 8-yard line. The seniors were hurt by penalties, including a touchdown run by Lane with 6:24 left that was called back by a holding penalty. The drive then ended on Taylor Crocker's interception.
Caitie Ryan then had a long run for the juniors, and then Hart passed to Crocker for another big gain. But the drive ended with an interception with under two minutes remaining in the game to preserve the 14-0 shutout for the seniors.
In the powderbuff volleyball match, the seniors won the first game 25-9 behind several kills by Tyler Tappe and Travis Jacobson.
In the second game, the juniors grabbed an 8-3 lead on a kill by Jon Bocklund, and later led 15-6 behind a couple blocks by Eric Elverum. The juniors eventually won 25-10.
The seniors came out with a different lineup in the third game and quickly built a 7-0 lead behind a couple kills by Jacobson and Keegan Johnson.
The seniors later led 12-5 after a kill by Jackson Goerges against a much taller Jacobson. The seniors eventually won 15-9.

ordered a kit :)
if only every day was friday 13th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucky Guys…. believe me this is a beast! Kind of Swiss Army Knife of Filters . . . . .
Snagged it! Bring us moar toys please! Wish every month had something new in store :p
Very X-panderesque! Yarr!
I had forgotten all about Olivier mentioning a new filter board in the works some time ago! So this was an unexpected surprise.
I really don't need 5 Shruthi's.. So of course I ordered one anyway :)
So how does all this fancy filter shenanigans get configured in the GUI? I've not seen anything sneaked into .96 aimed at this..
And.. Is this a limited kit, like the Polivoks kit was?
I have one already though… :)
Good thing I got the white OLED at Reichelt in case I need to go beyond the LCD and make a deluxe version :)
Here kitty kitty…
is that reichelt list right ?
there is a SMD led in it (LED 0603-360 RT) which is not mentioned in the BOM
also 3x 1N 4148 (BOM says 2x)
ok i see, the smd led if for the eye.
and the 1N 4148 is listed twice in the bom one time 1x and one time 2x
no mistakes after all.
Yups, SMT is right, its placed in the Eye of that beast on the Filter Board….
Must….. resist…...
Thank you Your order was placed successfully.
Damn how did that happen? :))
As far as i can see comes the Kit with a white LCD. White OLED should be this (without waranty!!!)
shameless self-promo:
UI-wise, you select a new entry, 4pm in the filter board selector and get a new menu. This new menu entry is disabled in all the builds I have distributed so far, but is enabled in the most recent build of the v0.96 on the site. The kits are obviously flashed with the right version, pre-configured for 4pm.
OLED Mouser part # is: 790-EAW162-X3LW
On order 10 weeks :-\ $43.58 USD
My procrastinator hurts.
ProWHAT? Is this something filthy?
It feels filthy…
oooooooh! surprise surprise :D
damn too broke right now though…
is there really just the complete kit, or are pcbs already out of stock?
already, hehe, more than an hour after release.
Please tell me this isn't going to be a limited run and that I can pick one up when my gear-funding reservoir fills back up again?
I still have a dual-SVF on the bench… :-\
If you plan to do more than one Shruhti (ok, you will get addicted anyway) id recommend some not so cheap tools as this billigschrott™ can ruin your hole project and the day with it…. So this soldering station would be a pretty good start if you plan to buy from Reichelt.
While you are at it get this solder – it has integrated Flux, so no need for anything else.
A Pair of small Pliers for cutting and fixin is also recommended.
For the Multimeter anything in the 10€ will to for Shruthi Purposes, as you are measre +-9-12 V DC + Resistance only, so this one will do fine. Next usefull step would be a Scope…
I use this Wallwart.
Oh, small Tip if you never soldered anything before: get a Perfboard PCB and some Sockets/cheap parts like Resistors and just try soldering some 100 pads before you need to reorder a mutable Instruments PCB – especially a limited run type.
Argh, I'm out of work now! Is this limited edition or do I need to sell one of the kids right away?
Lol. My thoughts precisely.
@fcd72 I love that digital soldering station…
If you will be doing more DIY I would recommend getting a multimeter that can measure capacitance, and also has a transistor test socket. Those are handy functions to have! Plus maybe a scope when things get serious…
Yups, might be handy – or do it the fcd72 way: just get a new cap/transistor ;-)
130€ for a kid? Is it out of this Diaper Thingie Phase? ,-)
I don't plan to do another run… Maybe sell some pair of boards like for the Polivoks.
One important thing: the number of cases I have in stock is 75% of the total number of kits I have prepared. This means that when those 75% are sold, the kit will be listed out of stock until the new cases are delivered. If all goes well, this will be out of stock in 1 week ; and then the remaining 25% will be sold when fcd72 has received some more white plexi!
mine is purchased …. :)))
Oh god. And it's white too. Like a TI Polar. All white and shiny and has eyes that blink.
Anyone want to buy an assembled one? I don't need five. I'm not looking to make money either, just some money towards the shruthi-ti-polar.
Maybe for two. The girl might be worth it, almost 18, cute… I better cut this off before my wife finds out.
you can use this with the regular control board… but of course the one that comes with the filter is white and looks totally awesome :)
Its a totaly normal digital Board ready fory any Shruthi-1 compatible Filter Board if thats what yopu wanted to know…
Bah, temptation was too great so I've bought one. Feeling bad at not being able to resist. But it will at least let me put off writing anything for another week or two :)
My RGB backlight LCD arrived today too, might go well with this. Adjustable backlight colour :)
6581, I've seen those RGB displays on Adafruit, amongst 1 or 2 other places.. I was thinking that you could probably do something cunning with that backlight, via the aux CV outputs. Rather like some of us did with the UFO illuminations thing a while back.
I have a spare blue OLED display that I might put into this. I already tested it briefly a while back, and it's quite a bright, but pale blue. Perhaps more white than blue. It could look pretty good in the white case :)
Indeed, could change colour on the beat or have the display colour defined within the patch. But of course these would need additional hardware and software changes. A bit of a gimmick I guess :)
I've got to build up a little circuit for the display with three small trimmers to vary the brightness of the red, green and blue LEDs. At least with a semi-opaque case this little extra board won't be so easily seen.
Should have done a "Store is down…etc" Apple style :)
And yet another one and beautiful sounding! That is a sick game, please stop.. :)
Will the filter board be available alone in the long-term? I simply have too many pcb's waiting to be soldered to justify another one to my wife right now :(
Looks and sounds amazing.
Edit: stay on topic.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Re: The deadly legacy of America's fields of gold
Fructose is a sugar that can only be metabolized by the liver, so as such it is "worse" than sucrose (table sugar), which is 50% glucose and 50% fructose. The thing with fruit is that you at least get the vitamins, minerals and fibre as well as the fructose, which makes it a bit better that HFCS on its own. But if you're after weightloss or have a problem with over-eating sweet things you are better to avoid fruit purely because of the sugar (and to be honest, there isn't much in the way of nutrition that you can't get from vegetables anyway!). With honey, depending on how processed it is, you are also getting some trace minerals and goodness to offset the fructose - but personally it is also something I avoid on a regular basis.
It really is a personal thing - I try to avoid sugar in all its forms as much as possible. I do not add it to anything any more (or any other kind of chemical sweetener, either), and I only eat fruit very occasionally otherwise I set off a craving for sweet things, but this is very much an N=1 situation. On the whole, though, I think avoiding sugars is good - and being careful with fruit is also a good idea, too.

Re: The deadly legacy of America's fields of gold
As I wrote earlier there is some research into the differences between how the body metabolizes HFCS and refined white sugar. I will try and find the some relevant reference links.
basic difference as I remember it is that the glucose fructose in refined white is bonded and that bond needs to be broken before either can be absorbed through the gut wall. ( through enzymatic action if I remember properly) .
the fructose in HFCS is unbonded and as such it can start being absorbed higher in the digestive track and faster as the enzymatic action to break down the white sugar doesn't all happen at once.
This doesn't make a whole lot of difference in things like baked goods or other foods but in liquids it can mean that a larger amount of fructose can hit the liver in a shorter time from a drink sweetened HFCS rather than refined white.
I wouldn't take that to mean that refined white is somehow good for you, just potentionaly slightly less damaging in large quantities in soda or other kinds of drinks.
I will see what references I can dig up later when I have time.
edit.. The study was relatively small sample size but here is an article about it at this link

I read that sucrose-sweetened beverages tend to make you feel hungry...you drink 2 glasses of 'O% sugar' pepsi, coca-cola etc...think that you are dieting and then eat more than usual.
Something about danger in sweets too, a not natural agent that has been found to be cancerous ... just an example was given with M&M's in the sugared shell ..?? sorry, i'll try to find the name.

Re: The deadly legacy of America's fields of gold
the issue is not just quantity.
it is quality too. berries don�t make people fat. if they did, the fenno-ugric nations would be the most obese people ever.
honey, from a farm, not the supermarket and hotel kind, does not make you fat if you live in a cold region.
corn syrup - I dont buy processed foods and I am not sure if there is something even near me with corn syrup.
but I am seeing a lot of fat people lately in my country and especially men have really lost their shape. it is ugly. they all have this bubble around their belly and it is not from beer. too large quantity of meat in one meal is the estonians� problem. it is like for most people, meat is the only thing that is called food. a grilling night at Midsummer can have 2 kg of meat per person. I am sure cookies, soft drinks and cereals are becoming a trend as well, but mostly I blame the lifestyle, sitting down, and easy access to food and snacks. you can eat anywhere, any time. Eating is not a necessity, but an addiction and a habit. If they are not eating, they are chewing gum. Their teeth can�t get rest... they need to give constant impulses to their stomach.
many doctors are blaming obesity to too much protein as well though, compared to too little fat and fiber. Normal foods contain fat and fiber, processed foods, like zero fat prducts contain sugar INSTEAD and the fat and fiber are taken out. It is not just the sugar, it is malnutrition from the lack of vital nutrients. Imbalance. too much sugar can be easily burned with exercise, but it doesn� t compensate for the nutrients you don�t get at all, that help your body function.
but yeah. it is worrying how estonians as well have blown out of proportions literally.

Hi Danny,
Noticed that you were mentioning Pure White and Deadly by John Yudkin earlier this year, as it was featured in the BBC 2 Documentary.
It's actually just been re-issued by Penguin, as it had been out of print for years, so you can get hold of a copy now. And it has an new introduction by one of the medics featured in the programme.

It's a shame that Yudkin got the short end of the stick.
Here's a link that I posted in this thread already to a lecture given by Dr. Robert Lustig.
He's featured in the documentary several times.
Sugar: The bitter truth 2011
It's unfortunate that the documentary doesn't include his findings about how the liver processes alcohol, sucrose and glucose. It starts a min 46. But watch the whole vid.
I wonder what big business will twist this into next.

Pope Clement XII
- Lorenzo Corsini
Born to the Italian nobility. Studied at the University of Pisa. Lawyer. Treasurer-general and governor of Castel Sant'Angelo in 1696. Member of the Curia of Pope Clement XI. Created cardinal on 17 May 1706 by Clement XI. Vatican treasurer. Cardinal–priest of San Pietro in Vincoli. Cardinal–bishop of Frascati. Elected 246th pope in 1730.
Nearly blind when he ascended the throne, he eventually became bedridden, conducting all his audiences from there. Worked to restore Vatican finances, forcing corrupt ministers to return all they had stolen under his predecessors. He brought in so much money that he embarked on many building and beautification plans around the city, paving streets, supporting art galleries; he built a port at Ancona, Italy. Disavowed claims of the Papal States over San Marino, Parma and Piacenza. In 1738 he issued the first papal decree against the Freemasons. Opposed the French Jansenists. Worked for the reunion of the Roman and Orthodox churches, meeting the patriarch of the Coptic Church. Persuaded the Armenian patriarch to remove the anathema against the Council of Chalcedon and Pope Leo I.
