Any suggestions for a performance chip? Ideally I would like something that gives better gas millage at home and more torque when pulling the camper. i dont mind reprogramming the chip.

Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
')})(); //-->
Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
In addition to the fuse issue, the wiring from the switch does not appear to be 200A wiring (3/0 THHN)
" High Leg " conductor in a 240 volts three phase fuse disconnect shall be located at right terminal .
That's incorrect. That's only in service rated meter sockets. Everywhere else; in panels, on breakers, in disconnect switches, they "high" leg is in the center position.
The supply fuse clips are two small, i.e. the fuse tabs should fit inside the clips completely (securely).
The fuses are the wrong type. They need to be type 'R' to accommodate the rejection pins in fuse clips designed for the class to which the fuse belongs.They are also lacking the proper markings.
Looks like non rejection type fuse in rejection
type clip. Short circuit protection may be compromised
Rejection type fuse holders with wrong class fuses installed. Likely called for current limiting fuses.
Fusible disconnect is designed with Class R rejection clips. Fuses installed are not Class R fuses.
A moron not an electrician put the fuses in That's whats wrong!!
The Handy man did it. now start arresting non licensed side jobers
Wild phase is required to be in the "middle" for fuse and switch gear. Only on right hand side in a meter socket - (Three Phase Self Contained 200/320A)
If this is delta with a high leg, the phase tape should be orange not red. This was a code change 20 years ago. Lots of things wrong here.
not being able to see all three wires, phase rotation could be counter clock wise, wire markers could be blue - red - black instead of black - red - blue. but the main thing here is the wrong type of fuse.
Why do you all think this is a high leg, anyone think that it is a disconnect that they changed phasing on for motor rotation? Common people the fuses are the wrong type. Maybe wrong amperage too, the person who has done this must be a first year journeyman.

Shine While You Dine :
Perfecting Etiquette and Landing Dream Jobs
Do you know which side your name tag should go on? Which fork to use first? Or how
you should eat your soup? At the Center for Career and Professional Development's
recent Shine While You Dine event students learned the importance of dining etiquette
and that these little details are important to landing your dream job.
Etiquette Educator Robert A. Shutt spoke to a group of nearly 150 students and
table hosts on Tuesday, February 25 during a three-course meal in the Mandela Room
on how relevant manners and etiquette truly are.
"It is relevant because research suggests that 85% of your success and your career may be based on your interpersonal skills," Shutt said. "It's about the subtle art of communication, that's what etiquette is."
Students networked with table leaders, distinguished professionals ranging from Fortune 500 company employees to Binghamton faculty, between lessons from Mr. Shutt, who noted that there are three foundations to dining etiquette- courtesy, focus, and respect. He said that respect understands a hierarchy.
"What we are practicing tonight is business etiquette, I like to think of it as
career success etiquette, and the hierarchy here is based on power and authority,"
Shutt said.
Shutt spoke about the importance of understanding who the table leader is during
meals in a professional setting, and following cues from the leader. For example,
Shutt advised "don't remove the napkin until the leader removes the napkin."
He also said that it is important to remember what the meal is really about.
"Remember that business dining is about conversation, business, and relationships, not the food or the beverage," Shutt said.
He joked that the quantity of utensils and plates can be daunting, but navigating the table is manageable with a few simple tricks. For example, your left hand makes a "b" when you link your index finger and thumb, thus your bread plate is on your left.
"You can watch Downton Abbey to see all the potential utensils that might be there but basically work outside to in," Shutt said.
Shutt also said that ordering could affect the impression you make on employers.
"Ordering is very commonly reported by human resources as one of the first assessments or tests" Shutt said, advising students to order neither the least expensive nor most expensive items. He also advised students to ask for recommendations, or follow the cues of the leader if they don't know what to order.
Other tests employers utilized included seasoning, which Shutt advised not to do until after tasting the food. Equally important, according to Shutt, is the size of your bites.
"Take smaller bites," Shutt said. "You don't want to have food in your mouth in case somebody asks you a question."
As for alcohol? That's a definite no.
"The reason why I was discourage it, one is your single most important goal, to shine while you dine," Shutt said. "When you drink alcohol you're no longer at your best. It might also affect you differently than you think."
Shutt said that even if the table leader orders a bottle of wine, you may decline in. In fact, according to Shutt, this could be a test employers present.
And when it's time to leave, don't forget your manners!
"Thank you times two!" Shutt said. "Thank the leader for the conversation and the meal. The most important thank you is the handwritten thank you they'll receive in the mail."
Students who attended agreed that the event was not only enjoyable, but also informative.
"I learned how to place your forks and spoons, I feel like there was a lot I learned that was valuable, especially moderation," freshman Wei Li said.
Yang Xu, a graduate student, added, "How to behave during a meal is important during the entire process."
And according to Shutt, dining etiquette can be summed up easily.
"The main thing to remember is you have one goal: to shine while you dine," Shutt said.

Griffith Review 37 by Julianne Schultz (Text $36)
Probably Australia's best literary journal, The Griffith Review is always a pleasure. The writing is of an invariably high calibre, there's usually a good mix of fiction and non-fiction, prose and poetry, a page or three of stunning photography, and best of all, it never fails to be thought-provoking.
Number 37 is no exception to this general rule. It grabs you right from the opening line of the first essay A Troubled World: "'At last,' I think, as a boulder hurtles towards me."
The theme for this issue is "Small World", and the introduction and the work it contains reflects upon Australians' cranky relationship with the rest of the world.
Most of the works are, broadly speaking, travel writing, and there are some crackers: that Tony Wheeler piece is one; David Carlin's The Cigarette Seller of Addis Ababa is another.
Lesley Synge's Midsummer in Melanesia is ghastly (in a good way), the story of a holiday in the Solomons that the writer had, against her better judgment, with her son and his alcoholic dad.
Gayle Bryant's telling of the story of an Australian survivor of a terror attack on his Mumbai hotel in 2009 is stark and gripping. Mark Dapin writes with honesty about his inability to find the story when he went with an Aussie veteran on tour to the significant sites in Vietnam - a clear inability to see the wood for the trees.
And perhaps best of all, Kate Veitch's account of her rear-guard resistance to the advance and proliferation of digital imaging technology is a well-turned reflection on what it is to "experience" a place or time in the age of compulsive photography.
There's only room for three pieces of prose fiction this time around - two are fairly unremarkable short stories; one is a relatively apt excerpt from Murray Bail's odd latest novel, The Voyage - and for two poems.
The upshot is that the fiction seems a little like a sideshow in this edition. The photography, on the other hand, a photo essay called Extreme States by Michael Hall, is exquisite. They're landscape shots, alluding to the effects of climate change - a hallucinatory shot of a bulk coal carrier grounded in a vicious storm off Newcastle, a slate-grey lake among the melting ice of Iceland's ice-cap, the gasping cracks in the drying bed of Lake Hume, the headwaters of an Aussie hydro scheme ...
As editor Schultz points out, Australians are under pressure to come to terms with differences in nationality and culture these days, and it's not just our cousins across the ditch.
Technology has made the world smaller, and with climate change set to make the very walls close in on us, there are lessons in this collection for everyone, regardless of where they live.
John McCrystal is a Wellington reviewer.

Very amusing that last year we went to Colorado and didn't venture north past Denver to visit any Breweries. We did however, go to a local beer store and buy several Colorado Beers and brought them home to Texas. Never thought anything else about it, just stuck them in the pantry. Well, guess what...in the pantry sat the 4 beers from O'Dells that will be at the rally. Guess what my husband will be sampling tomorrow????

Needs more Ham Radios, and a CB of course. A 2M just won't do the job when you have all that space to hang another 10 or 12 radios. :lol:
i dig it.
LOL! Actually, it is a dual bander (UHF+VHF) which I primarily use to monitor fire frequencies. I have a 10 meter on my desk that has never been used in 2+ years... (The antenna and coax is still shrink wrapped and my tower is not up yet.
CB? Naaaa. I think I'll pass on that! LOL!
Great job on the garage, pictures and info. I love your vehicle name. Great job all the way around........ :great:
Very nice... Needs a bigger screen and 5.1.. But Great job so far.....:great:
See... I was going to do all of that since a teardown revealed that the coach and headphone jacks were all wired in mono... Until the wife said "do you think the kids will really notice the difference?" Realizing that I would always be on the "flight deck", and never kicking back in the rear, I decided that it was good enuff for the kids. LOL!!!
Wow, this looks great. Nice work on the writeup and presentation of this great van.
Thank you so much. I will do one for my truck soon too.

The new documentary series Frozen Planet is by itself an explanation for why HDTV exists. The beauty is so breathtaking, so jaw-droppingly gorgeous, that you may find yourself rewinding bits of it just so you can see it again right away. This is the mission of all good nature documentaries, of course: to be so compellingly beautiful that you may not even notice how much you're learning. And Frozen Planet has a lot to teach us.
Following in the footsteps of the tours de force that were 2006′s Planet Earth and 2009′s Life, Frozen Planet was made by the BBC's Natural History Unit, a group whose name scarcely begins to describe the lengths its members will go to produce documentaries. As with its predecessors, it's been re-cut and had re-narrated for the American audience — this time Alec Baldwin takes on the narration, and lends the production a comfortable American voice with enough gravitas that you hang on his every word.
If all good documentaries aim to show their viewers a part of the world they will probably never see, or to present the world in a way they could never see any other way, then Frozen Planet succeeds in spades. The arctic and antarctic regions of the planet are both its most remote and harshest environments, and ones that only a very small percentage of people will ever visit. And even those who do will likely never see polar bears fight over a mate, or watch killer whales produce waves precisely crafted to knock seals off of ice floes. Certainly few humans will ever spelunk through the caves beneath Antarctica's Mount Erebus, and witness firsthand what must be the most amazingly gorgeous ice crystals that have ever existed. Frozen Planet brings all of this, and a whole lot more, to you in the comfort of your living room. And, like most nature documentaries, it uses slow-motion to bring you, say, the beauty of an owl in mid-flight, and speeds up sequences so you can, say, marvel at how a brinicle forms (the first time this has ever been filmed, incidentally).
Frozen Planet also serves as a wake-up call about climate change, but not in a preachy or political way. The makers simply show you the facts of what has been happening to the arctic and antarctic, and explains what the future consequences of this change could be for the creatures of those areas — and the creatures of populated areas, too. The final episode of the series, titled "On Thin Ice" (which was not available for review) is hosted on-camera by naturalist David Attenborough, addresses the issue of global warming head-on, and early reports that the episode would not be shown in its entirety in the U.S. were incorrect.

text: Michael, I read where you have made one and are in the making of another one, is this right? Here's a question for you and anybody else. I'm thinking of making a Horizonal brood and food chamber 30 frames long. Then put supers on the last 20 frames for honey when the food chamber is near full. So the first 10 frames will be just 1story tall and the next 20 frames can be 2 stories tall when needed for honey production. If I use a queen excluder under the 2 supers on the 2nd story and provide an entrance going into the supers, will this work will the bees fill the supers side by side? I'm just starting up in the spring from a 5 year layoff. Any advice? Darrell

text: I don't know but my first choice would be couple an used ATV's with trailers. You can get out of Dodge faster and further with less fuel and without being detected as fast, and you don't need roads at all for them. A sheilding of lead flashing around the CD boxs will protect it just fine. Ya also have to keep in mind hiding them when you get to where you want to be, unimogs are awsome but huge, and that could just ruin your whole day if your detected. After all you're just trying to get to your secondary position undetected and which should be already set up anyways. Come "bug out" time speed and mobility should be your primary concerns, an ATV will do all of that for you and better. Plus there just plain DAMN FUN, till that SHTF point comes. I've driven all types of off road rigs and an ATV will get you places that nothing else will, period, unimog included. Remember ya still have to get between the trees and rocks, even a logging road can become a choke point. After all you can zip under a blow down and hide an ATV instantly, try that with a unimog or a jeep, not going to work very well, to exposed and big. ATV's are my choice. And you can get 3-4 good used smaller ATV's for the same price.

An Ode to Joy on the Hiwassee River
Pinhook Plantation House • Calhoun, TN
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two on Sundays through Thursdays ($180) or Fridays and Saturdays ($195)
- Daily Three-Course Breakfast
- Bottle of Wine and Cheese Tray Upon Arrival
- Bottomless Cookie Jar, Market Basket with Pinhook Plantation House Monogram, and Seasonal Flowers
In the year 1810, Beethoven composed his famous piano piece, Für Elise, which became one of his most popular compositions. That same year, a different kind of melody was blossoming far from Europe—the Pinhook Plantation House.
More than 200 years old and just as hypnotic as Ludwig's most celebrated creations, this week's Escape to the gorgeous home in Calhoun, Tennessee, hits all the right notes.
Create a memorable movement with a two-night stay for two, Sundays through Thursdays ($180) or Fridays and Saturdays ($195), and find a bottle of wine, a cheese tray, a bottomless cookie jar, a market basket with a Pinhook Plantation House monogram, and seasonal flowers in your room upon arrival.
You'll want to burst into song when you see the tasty breakfast dishes each morning, including stuffed pears, French toast, and fresh ham. After savoring every bite, set off to explore the scores of antique shops in the area before taking a hike through the Cherokee National Forest.
Go whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River with Quest Expeditions using your ten-percent discount, and then let the day decrescendo with a glass of the Ocoee Gold Sunset or Hiwassee Red Huzzy at Savannah Oaks Winery.
In the evening, when you need a little sustenance, stop by The Open Door Cafe in Athens (you'll have a five-percent discount) for a symphony of steak and seafood that will leave you begging for a second sonata. When you return to the inn, let the peaceful acoustics and the cool breeze lull you to sleep.
Tune in to this week's Escape to Pinhook Plantation House for a trip that goes an octave higher than your typical Tennessee getaway.
"Beautiful inn! Views were incredible, food was delicious, atmosphere was cozy, and hospitality was impeccable."-- BedandBreakfast.com

Practical Emacs Part II
Christopher Howard, ARSC Research Projects Assistant
(Part 1 may be found in Issue 422, June 2013.)
Accessing the Emacs Manual on Emacs Version 21.*.
The command C-h r, typically used to access the Emacs manual, is not available in Emacs 21.* versions. In this article series, replace the command C-h r with C-h i m Emacs <RET>, when using a 21.* version.
Easy Customization Interface
Later in this article, the user will need to know how to set Emacs global variables. One method is to the use Easy Customization Interface, available through the command M-x customize-variable
VARIABLENAME <RET>. For more details, run the command C-h r m Easy Customization <RET>.
Dired (Directory Editor)
Emacs includes a built-in directory editor, Dired, which is useful for many common file management tasks. Use C-x d DIRECTORYPATH <RET> to open Dired for the specified directory. Alternatively, use C-x 4 d to open Dired in a separate window or C-x 5 d to open it in a separate frame.
Dired will list files in the specified directory. Use C-p and C-n to navigate this file list. Press "q" to bury the Dired buffer (that is, to make it go away).
Here are some practical commands that can be used inside the Dired buffer. These commands operate on the file over which the cursor is located:
<RET> visit a file v view a file (in a pager) ^ (caret) move up a directory C copy a file D delete a file R rename a file + create a new directory S create a symbolic link M change the mode of a file (as chmod would) Z compress or decompress a file :e encrypt a file :d decrypt a file = compare with another file
Emacs also provides a Dired-like virtual file system interface to archives. If the user opens an archive file (such as a file with a .tar.gz extension) Emacs will allow the files in the archive to be manipulated inside the archive with some of the normal file operations, such as renaming them or editing their contents.
Buffer Management
To access a full list of all buffers open in the Emacs session, use the command C-x C-b. To visit any buffer on the list, move the cursor over the list entry and press return. This list may also be used to kill multiple buffers at once: press the "d" key to mark the buffers to be killed and press "x" to kill them. Press "q" to bury the buffer list.
Automatic Buffer Restoration
Reopening files from a previous work session can be cumbersome. However, Emacs has a "desktop" feature that automatically restores buffers still open at the end of the previous Emacs session. To activate this feature, set the variable "desktop-save-mode" to "t". For Emacs 21.* use the variable "desktop-enable". Temporary buffers such as *scratch* will not be restored to their previous states.
To avoid an annoying delay from opening many file buffers at the beginning of a session, set the variable "desktop-restore-eager" to a low number. This is the maximum number of buffers Emacs will restore at the start of each session. The rest of the buffers will be restored as soon as the session becomes idle, that is, when the user stops typing or running commands. This variable is not available in 21.* versions.
Read-Only Mode
To avoid accidentally mutilating files accessed for viewing purposes only, open them in read-only mode. To do this, simply use C-x C-r FILENAME <RET>, which works the same as the regular find-file command, except that Emacs will not allow the buffer to be edited once the file has been opened. Additionally, C-x C-r will not create a new file if the named file cannot be found, thereby preventing the user from accidentally creating a new file.
For any buffer already opened, it is easy to toggle read-only mode off or on: simply use C-x C-q. The echo area will then describe whether the mode has been enabled or disabled.
Remote File Access
Emacs allows the user to view and edit remote files through the SSH protocol. This feature avoids the bother of opening a new Emacs instance on the remote system, or duplicating custom Emacs settings. To open a remote file, simply use the normal find-file command (C-x C-f FILENAME <RET>) or find-file-read-only (C-x C-r FILENAME <RET>) following one of these formats for the file name:
If using a "/METHOD..." format, replace METHOD with "ssh". If the method is not chosen explicitly, Emacs will first check the host name and user name for clues to determine whether the remote system is an FTP server. If no such clues are found, Emacs will assume SSH was intended. (Versions 21.* have only one method - FTP - and it is therefore never specified explicitly.)
Furthermore, the FILENAME may be relative to the login directory (usually the home directory). When possible, Emacs will auto-complete (use the TAB key) as it does with local file paths.
/dev.example.org:project/src/main.c /root@mailserver:/etc/postfix/main.cf /ssh:ftp.example.org:/home/ftp/README
The list-directory commands also work remotely (C-x d and C-x C-d) if a remote directory path is provided in one of the aforementioned formats.
Distinguishing Buffer Names
If Emacs opens two files that have the same file name but are in different directories, it will distinguish between the two buffers by adding a number after the name in the buffer name area: for example, "main.c<1>" and "main.c<2>". This gets confusing very quickly. However, if the global Emacs variable "uniquify-buffer-name-style" is set to the value "post-forward", Emacs will use a more helpful method: Instead, the file name will be followed by a pipe symbol, followed by the name of the directory (or, rather, enough of the directory path as is necessary to distinguish between the two files). For example, "Makefile|src" and "Makefile|dist" would be used to distinguish between makefiles in the "src" and the "dist" directories.
Column Numbers
By default, Emacs displays the line number of your buffer in the mode line. It can also display the column number, that is, the position index of your cursor on a line. To activate this feature, set the variable "column-number-mode" to "t".
Quick-Tip Q & A
Last time, we asked:
Q: Do you have a useful custom Unix/Linux shell prompt? If so, please share the code you use to produce your prompt, and make sure you mention which shell you utilize (i.e., an entry for .bashrc, .cshrc, ect.).
A: From Ryan Czerwiec:
There are definitely some very fancy things you can do with prompts, and I've messed with a few over the years, but my most common one is this (using tcsh or csh):
set prompt = "[${HOST}]:${cwd}/ ! >"
This lets me know which machine that terminal is on, which directory I'm in, and what number in the command history I'm at. It's not hard to truncate the pathname to the lowest-level directory, but I use so many parallel trees with the same name that I need the whole thing (yes, my prompt can get quite long). It also may not be necessary if your terminal dynamically updates the pathname on the title bar, but mine doesn't on remote systems, and doesn't have enough space to show more than a couple levels deep anyway. The command history number is very useful when I'm doing repetitive tasks and need to recall those or do command substitutions. So, it looks like this:
[spirit04]:/home/rmczerwi/ 25 >
The man page for sh contains a section on prompting (down around line 2550 on my machine-your mileage may vary) listing all of the different things besides plain text that you can put in your PS1 and PS2 (which is also described further up in the man page) shell variables for sh, bash, etc., or you can mix and match these with your PROMPT_COMMAND shell variable to do cool things. My prompt could be created in bash by:
PS1='[\h]:\w/ \! > '
Or by putting a printf command in the PROMPT_COMMAND variable instead, which would look similar to the csh syntax.
A: Richard Griswold uses the z-shell:
Here is the code that I have in .zshrc to set my ZSH prompt:
export PS1_COMMON=$'%{\e[1;%(#.31.32)m%}%~ %(?.:\).:\() > %{\e[0m%}' if [[ $TERM == 'linux' ]]; then export PS1=$PS1_COMMON else export PS1=$'%{\e]0;%(#.ROOT .)%m:%~\a%}'$PS1_COMMON fi
The prompt is broken down into two parts: a common part that sets the prompt text, and a part that only runs inside of graphical terminals, like xterm, that sets the title bar.
Here's the breakdown of the graphical terminal portion of the prompt:
$' - Process like the string arguments of the print builtin %{ - Start literal escape sequence \e]0; - Start setting xterm title %(#.ROOT .) - Prepend "ROOT " to the title if running as root %m - The hostname up to the first dot : - Literal character %~ - Current working directory, with ~ for home \a - End setting xterm title %} - End literal escape sequence ' - End string
Here's the breakdown of the common portion of the prompt:
$' - Process like the string arguments of the print builtin %{ - Start literal escape sequence \e[; - Start setting text color %(#.31.32) - Set text to red if running as root and green otherwise m - End setting text color %} - End literal escape sequence %~ - Current working directory, with ~ for home $(?.:\).:\() - Print if the last command succeeded and if it failed > - Literal characters %{ - Start literal escape sequence \e[0m - Reset text color %} - End literal escape sequence ' - End string
A. Greg Newby, your humble narrator, uses zsh on some systems, and tcsh on others (including most ARSC systems).
For zsh, the Z shell, this in my .zshrc:
PS1=$'%{\e[1;36m%}%m(%n) %~ [%!] > %{\e[1;0m%}'
The outcome includes the hostname, which user I am, the command number (for using command history features) the the working directory. Oh, and it's cyan. On one system, the prompt looks like this:
sysname(newby) /usr/local [206] >
With tcsh, I have a rather awkward embedded sed script that shows only the last two or three components of the directory path. This is useful when the path gets long. From my .cshrc:
set hn=`/bin/hostname -s` alias sp 'set prompt="${hn}(`whoami`) [\\!] `dirs|sed -e '\''s| .*||'\'' -e '\''s|.*[^/]\(/[^/]*/[^/]*\)|..\1|'\''` } "' alias cd 'cd \!*;sp'
Example, with a longish path:
cd /import/local/unsupported/arsc-updates demeter(newby) [129] ../unsupported/arsc-updates }
I'm pretty sure there are easier ways to do this.
Here is a new question for next time:

The concept for FF Videtur is based on bitmap fonts created by Axel Bertram for the state television broadcaster in East Germany (GDR-TV) during the 1980s. Thorough research and testing – including a broad series of experiments with the specific display conditions of 625-line television screens – led to three specific findings:
1. Serif letterforms are easier to recognize than those in monolinear sans serif typefaces.
2. Serifs help stabilize letterforms and improve the reading movement along a line of text. As to the serifs themselves, a balled-knot proved to be the most suitable.
3. An alternating stroke contrast leads to easier differentiation between letters.
Bertram drew his letterforms so that they would be open and functional. He defined the ductus of the television type through moderate contrast and a unique serif shape. In light of the specific display conditions, these design decisions led to the greatest legibility possible for the medium.
FF Videtur is a contemporary translation of this original typeface concept. Nudged forward by Andreas Frohloff, Bertram and Frohloff collaborated to develop the TV-Videtur into a modern text face that harnesses the extreme limitations of the 1980s to deliver a solution for the increasing demands of today's devices and media. In doing so, their design brilliantly masters both the higher resolution and complex display environments.
Freed from yesteryear's technical restrictions, all letters were drawn anew. The best characteristics of the earlier forms were kept, but the typeface's vertical proportions, serif shape, and stroke contrast were carefully reconsidered.
Although FF Videtur doesn't hide its underlying humanistic forms, it has a workmanlike appearance at first glance. Despite this certain sternness, its warm character is undeniable. The reasons for this are its modest stroke contrast, the open, clearly differentiated letterforms, the relatively short and rounded wedge-formed serifs, as well as the homogenous rhythm it sets in lines of text.
FF Videtur's four weights support the Latin-based European languages. In addition to both lining and oldstyle figures with proportional and tabular spacing options, the fonts include smaller-sized figures for fractions, scientific inferiors and superiors, as well as a series of arrows, symbols and ornaments. While the Light and Regular weights represent the typical forms of the typeface, the heavier Medium and Bold weights serve for emphasis; these expand the area of application for the family. The necessary changes to the letters' basic forms remain modest. Collapse description

Anna Lena Phillips
BETWEEN PAGE AND SCREEN. Amaranth Borsuk and Brad Bouse. xi + 36 pp. Siglio Press, 2012. $24.95.
In most tellings, the relation between print and electronic media is a tense one. Between Page and Screen, by Amaranth Borsuk and Brad Bouse, teases out and tests the space between the two. In a series of letters between "P" and "S," Borsuk makes page and screen lovers. This ongoing correspondence is interspersed with textual experiments—visual poems, sometimes animated, that play with words and their origins.
The book's website describes it as a "digital pop-up book." On each right-hand page sits a matrix barcode (often referred to by the trade name of "QR [quick response] Code"; the authors call them "markers")—and nothing more. Readers must go to the book's website, http://betweenpageandscreen.com, and hold the book up to a webcam (after adjusting Flash Player settings to allow website and computer to connect), which allows the site to "read" the marker. On the screen the reader sees herself and the book—and then a poem pops up three-dimensionally from the page. It's hard to describe what it's like to watch a poem appear midair, perhaps because Between Page and Screen embodies language in a way that resonates with my own experience of it. The shapes and sounds of words can have a reality equivalent to, or greater than, what exists in the 3D world. To see them moving within that world is deeply exciting.
From one page, the word "pageant" rises in all caps. Its letters slowly disappear and rearrange themselves to form new words. Another animated poem plays with the pararhyme of pale, pawl, peel and pole. The correspondence between P and S is notable for its soundplay and concern with word origins. Here is one particularly nice missive:
Dear P,
You give me space to undulate,
SCHEREN. My best subject was always
division; I like partition. You only
get a portion of the stuff that makes
me up—or anyone. The rest hides. I
own both sword and ploughshare, sure.
I lied—not idle, I'd sidle up to either
side that held me, let slide my I. Oh
Dear P,
You give me space to undulate,
SCHEREN. My best subject was always
division; I like partition. You only
get a portion of the stuff that makes
me up—or anyone. The rest hides. I
own both sword and ploughshare, sure.
I lied—not idle, I'd sidle up to either
side that held me, let slide my I. Oh
We can't assume that this set of letters is complete. What's here leaves me wanting more of the conversation, more hints at the nature of this relationship, which in turn hints at the nature of each medium and why we might love it or be troubled by it.
It's hard to stay in this liminal space. The markers must be held with no bend in the page, or the site will not be able to continue reading them and the letters will fly from the screen. The pages are not numbered, so it's difficult to find a given spot again. Readers may find themselves in a T. rex pose—arms extended from the elbow—holding the book up to the webcam in something like supplication. This makes it hard to copy down bits of poems to contemplate later. The implication is that they are not intended for such: Read them in this slightly discomfiting interface or not at all. The temperamentality (and temporariness) of the interaction engenders fascination and a kind of productive frustration. Like many on-screen interfaces, Between Page and Screen removes agency from the reader by demanding dependence on an intermediary between reader and page. The book also insists that readers focus solely on each poem, one poem at a time (the procedure occupies eyes and hands, eliminating the potential for flipping back and forth between different online tasks). Thus, paradoxically, the project returns another kind of agency to the reader that many digital environments threaten or discourage: that of focused attention.
The present paperback version is a pleasing object, with a die-cut cover and heavy paper. Its orientation is designed to privilege human readers. Hold it upside down, toward the screen, and a mirror image of the text appears; hold it as you would any book and the text displays directly. Reading it reminded me of manual typesetting, which requires working upside down and in mirror image. In fact, Between Page and Screen was first produced as a limited-edition, letterpress-printed book. Running one's fingers over the impression made by a plate, I imagine, would be a tactile analog to the way the words expand on the screen.
Earlier books have made bridges between print and digital. Stephanie Strickland's 2002 WaveSon.nets / Losing L'una employs that favorite trick wherein a book can be begun from either end; at the center of the book readers are sent to an interactive website, still available at http://vniverse.com. The book sparked much discussion about hypertext poetry. The online interface is fun to play with and beautifully designed. It is also marked by the time in which it was made: Things now standardized, such as how fast text should scroll across a screen for comfortable reading, are not quite settled. Similarly, quirks in QR Code– reading software will eventually be smoothed out—and when they are, we will pay less attention to how we interact with the technology. Between Page and Screen will then be even more useful as a tool for contemplating that interaction.
The website lists the software programs that Bouse, a web developer, used to make the project go. One can also download and print a sample marker. Some of us have most of the apparatus required to read the book at our disposal every day (indeed, some of us must exert considerable effort to avoid them). Unfortunately, others will have more difficulty accessing it. But those who are interested in how we read, and those who like a good anagram, should not miss the experience of this book.

©2003 Jim Murphy; (P)2004 Recorded Books, LLC
"This audiobook is sure to be a hit with students interested in medical science or U.S. history." (School Library Journal)
"Murphy's dramatic history book...brings to life the determination and perseverance of a people whose future was uncertain." (Christian Science Monitor)
"History, science, politics, and public health come together in this dramatic account of the disastrous yellow fever epidemic that hit the nation's capital more than 200 years ago." (Booklist)
"Don't expect technical depth..."
I was disappointed by the book. I felt too much time was spent on the nuances of people's lives and how they reacted to the event. It seems that the author is much more interested in the people than the topic. I get the feeling that this is just another "people in crisis" book within the setting of a yellow fever epidemic (and even in that light, it's not particularly well done). It's not until the last 20 minutes that the author finally gets around to explaining how it's spread. I thought that if the author could spend the time to patronizingly explain supply and demand economics, he could have surely bothered to take a few minutes to explain what yellow fever does to the body that actually causes the symptoms (some of the symptoms are very interesting, I'd like to know why).
"Slow Narrator"
A very quick little volume despite the narrator's terrible pacing. The story itself was not that interesting and I felt there was no actual narrative arc, rather just a regurgitation of facts and news clippings.
I am a wee bit over the half a century mark in years. I enjoy audiobooks,cats,rats and most days my family,not necessarily in that order!lo
"An American Plague"
This was an interesting read but was not as scientific as I was hoping for.I found Mr Bottinos narration rather dry.
I never knew about yellow fever's effect upon American and world history. Fascinating! A nice quick listen of information that will stay with me forever.
"not very good at anything"
no because the book was the hardest thing to read. it had no bace line story. it had no character description, it was mostly boring to read.
maybe if it was not a history book because i did not like this book.
anger and disappointment i was hoping this book would just be ok but its not. this book needs a lot of help if i were to read it again. it is very history and not really cool and fun to read.
if you need a book to write a paper book on and you are the person that can read boring books then this is the book for you
pony rider
"Nice story, not the best narrator"
The story was well done with many quotes from people who lived through the horror. I did not like the choice of reader, the reading is too plodding/careful. He uses inflections with his voice going up and down, but reads at the same pace as if he were reading to a metronome.
I would try the author again. The subject is interesting and the writing style is comfortable.
The reading sounds forced and unnatural lacking the speed variations common in most readings. He is very careful in pronunciation. The reading style just doesn't feel comfortable to me.
Yes. I learned a lot about that time in history, the plight of the poor, the heroic efforts of nurses many of whom were black, and how life changed because of this plague.
"Content 4, Narration 1"
New narrator
Take diction lessons, with an emphasis on not GASPING for breath after every third sentence.
I have listened to several books but this is the first time that I was made aware of EVERY SINGLE BREATH the narrator took during the reading.

text: In general, I tend to think that animated movies are ones that I thought I wouldn't like because of the concepts of being a kids movie. I find that I usually am surprised about the message and how well it is portrayed. I liked 27 dresses, when I thought that it was going to be a typical chick flick. I think we went to see something that was sold out and 27 Dresses wasn't. Fantastic Four was another one - yeah laugh at me, but I do find it fun. I had heard that Mama Mia was awful, but I totally enjoyed it. I also find that I am generally unimpressed with movies that are supposed to be good or on the cutting edge. A billion years ago, "Clockwork Orange" was to be the cutting edge absolutely must see movie. I found it disgusting and the beginning of violent movies for the sake of violence and nothing else. Sideways, Alferd Hichcock movies, other classics - I didn't like.

Products that may interact with this drug include: aliskiren, ACE inhibitors (such as captopril, lisinopril), angiotensin II receptor blockers (such as losartan, valsartan), cidofovir, corticosteroids (such as prednisone), lithium, "water pills" (diuretics such as furosemide).
This medication may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with other drugs that also may cause bleeding. Examples include anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel, "blood thinners" such as dabigatran/enoxaparin/warfarin, among others.
Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers (aspirin, NSAIDs such as celecoxib, ibuprofen, or ketorolac). These drugs are similar to piroxicam and may increase your risk of side effects if taken together. However, if your doctor has directed you to take low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams a day), you should continue taking the aspirin unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
OVERDOSE: If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include: severe stomach pain, trouble breathing, extreme drowsiness.
NOTES: Do not share this medication with others.

Have you guys seen the article?
http://mdn.mainichi-msn.co.jp/sports...sp030000c.html Does anyone know which quad she managed?
Wonder if she'll use it in comp. this new season. She'll be hard to beat then...
I'd imagine it was the quad salchow, the same as she has attempted, landed once, in competition before. Sure, having a quad will make her tough to beat as long as she also lands her 3lz/3lp, improves her FW, spins and spirals! Problem is, she has so many rough edges, it won't hold her up. I like Miki, and I would love to see her back a comeback, but under COP, landing the quad is the least of her problems.
On the other hand, I am really excited at the prospect of seeing Yukina Ota again!! She's such a lyrical, soft skater. Hope she stays health!
The emphasis on 4 turns in the air has reached an almost MUST HAVE element at any level of skater.
I'm fairly sure Plushenko, Joubert, Lambiel, Li will land 9 quads out of 10. for the Ladies, it is only Ando who has shown to have landed a few.
Skaters who land quads half the time: Sandhu, v.d. Perren. Takehashi, Lindemann.
Skaters who just never made it: Cohen, Weiss, Weir, Buttle, and who else?
It's not yet a standard jump, but I am hoping Miki does land one in competition to keep the ball rolling.
Well, if Miki actually landed a clean quad, then goes in to fall on a couple other jumps and hits the wall on her spirals and falls out of a spin, that quad is not going to help her. On the other hand, even if Jeffrey falls on the landing or Evan/Johnny badly two foot it, the rest of their programs will just be boosted by the fact they rotated 4 times in the air.
Sasha Cohen could do a quad salchow early on in her career. She stopped though because of injury. I believe there is a video on Sashafans.comOriginally Posted by Joesitz
But the difference is, Miki's quad salchow was landed in competition and was ratified as the first quad in women's competition. Sasha's quad salchow was only sucessful in practice. It doesn't count unless you do it in competition. (Just as I believed Sasha didn't need quad salchow, I don't think it's absolutely necessary for Miki to do quads.)
I am positive that Weir landed a fully ratified quad in the LP at worlds and I am pretty sure he did it in the QR. Lysacek also landed it in the LP. Neither attempted it seriously before worlds. (I don't think) So although they are not consistant, they have both done it.Originally Posted by Joesitz
I'd bet Kimmie Meissner can do quads without bonking afterwards.
Miki last successfully landed a quad in competition in the 2002-2003 JGPF, nearly four years ago, when she was just 14. Her body has changed drastically since then, and perhaps that is the reason why her quad attempts since then have been failures.
If it is psychologically helpful for Miki to have landed the quad again, that is fine. But there is a danger of injury if she is trying to practice the quad with the intention of putting it back in her programs. She was having problems completely rotating her 3/3s last season, and her presentation still needs lots of work. I hope she keeps her priorities straight.
I think Miki needs a quad. In my opinion the only thing Miki had that made her stand out among other skaters was her ability to jump. When she lost that last season, she was a disaster. Although I admired her desire to become a more graceful skater, her attempt really didn't work in that area.
I doubt Miki will have the full rotation consistent enough to be helpful for her in the new system. I saw the quad she did in that JGPF, and I doubt very much she would have been given credit for it under the new system.
I hope Miki has a great season. She'll be 22 in 2010 and may pull a Shizuka in Vancouver.
I agree -- it was only 3.5 turns in the air.Originally Posted by CDMM1991
The best one she ever did was during a special exhibition at 2002 NHK - totally completely clean. The one she landed at 2003/04 Japanese Nationals looked pretty clean to me - maybe just under a quarter short.Originally Posted by Zuranthium
It's a shame her skating has regressed so much - her 04 Worlds SP was just terrific.

There is an undeniable aura and mystique to the marathon. Legend has it that 26.2 miles killed the first man (Phidippides) who covered the distance.
While death has not been the result for many who have trained for and completed the marathon, there's little question the time and commitment required for marathon training is daunting.
If you're a relatively new runner, you may want to consider the half marathon first. Here are 13.1 reasons why this distance might be right for you to tackle before going after the marathon.
More: Top 5 Half Marathon Fears and How to Conquer Them
1. It's a challenging, but manageable distance.
The marathon has the appeal of scaling Mount Everest, but just as in preparing to scale Mount Everest, preparing to run 26.2 miles is no walk in the park. If you're brand new to the sport, you're likely looking at six to nine months of consistent marathon training including long runs of 3 hours or more.
The half marathon may lack the "sexiness" of the full marathon, but most new runners with three months of training can conquer a half marathon. Long runs likely won't exceed two hours. There is some commitment involved with half marathon training, but it doesn't have to consume your life.

2. You're not ready for a full marathon.
There could be a variety of reasons why this is the case. Maybe you didn't allow enough time to train. Maybe it seems too daunting. Perhaps a slight injury compromised your training. Your work schedule is too demanding. Whatever the reason, the half marathon is still a challenging distance and 13.1 miles is nothing to sneeze at.
More: How to Work Up to a Half Marathon
3. There are countless races to choose from.
The number of half marathons taking place throughout the year has simply exploded the past few years. It's the fastest growing race distance out there and unquestionably the most popular race distance. Virtually every weekend you can count on one or multiple half marathons taking place within driving distance of your home. So, you've got no shortage of options when it comes to a half marathon race.

After years of watching contractors install centrifugally cast, fiberglass-reinforced, polymer mortar (CCFRPM) pipes in trenchless projects, the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) decided to do some installing themselves.
A public utility owned by the city of San Antonio, SAWS is having its crews perform more utility maintenance, relying less on contractors. "We saw an opportunity to save time and money and we capitalized on it," said Gordon Mahan, SAWS manager of distribution and collection. "We had been considering expanding our work projects to include doing live sliplining ourselves. We had the equipment and the manpower to do it."
A group from SAWS visited the HOBAS Pipe USA factory in Houston to watch pipe production and get a better understanding of the product and its use. They also visited a sliplining project in a neighboring city. Although many feet of the pipe have been installed in the San Antonio area, this was the first SAWS attempt at sliplining. "For this project, we needed a proven product; we didn't consider products without a proven history," said Dennis Laskowski, engineer II.
Structurally Sound
After the collapse of a 48-inch outfall, SAWS crews put their knowledge to the test. Initially, the failure location was thought to be in an isolated area that included a siphon. Crews made emergency repairs, but a thorough study determined additional areas south of the collapse also needed repair, though not on an emergency basis. "We had a contract to install cured-in-place pipes in the deteriorated areas of the siphon but wanted a more cost-effective approach to the rest of the line repairs," said Mahan. "We decided to take our time and do it right, and do it ourselves."
Laskowski, one of those responsible for the design, voiced concern: "The failing line was under a roadway adjacent to a cold storage plant where 18-wheelers travel constantly. We were concerned about the structural condition of the pipe due to these heavy traffic loads and the condition of the pipe, which could cause an immediate pipe failure. Sliplining the existing pipe would solve the structural issues, prevent further pipe corrosion, and ensure leak-free joints. It would also reduce the amount of street cutting and downtime the cold storage plant would suffer if the pipe were to be open cut.
"Another reason we considered CCFRPM pipe is the capacity of the line," said Laskowski. "With the hydraulic characteristics, we wouldn't see any flow reductions from the decreased diameter." A 42-inch diameter pipe was evaluated hydraulically and met the design needs.
SAWS issued an invitation to bid/ proposal for 2666 feet of 42-inch, 82-psi stiffness class, 20-foot joints of bell-spigot pipe. Because of the agency's positive experiences with the manufacturer, the pipe's ability to meet the design criteria, and confidence in the product, they chose to take bids only on that material.
Ease of Installation
SAWS crews began by scanning the existing line with remote-controlled cameras to assess conditions and look for joint offsets or misalignments that might hamper sliplining. The first push was upstream; it appeared relatively straight and had been sufficiently cleaned. "Throughout the duration of the project, we were in touch with HOBAS field service group," said Mahan. "They provided us with a lot of information and guidance."
"Initially, the installation of the pipe itself didn't set any records for pace, but it was consistent and non-eventful," said Omar Carrasco, HOBAS field service technician. "On day one, they installed 10 pipes. By the end of the first run, pipe installation rates were up to five pipes an hour, with the first 1000-foot run completed in only three days. The next run was inserted from the same pit, but downstream. There was one point, close to the end of the second push, where I thought they might have some difficulty, but [SAWS crews] used sand bags in the pipe to divert water to the annular space, lifting the liner pipe over the obstruction."
Carrasco credits the crew's preparation and knowledge—and the pipe's attributes—for the rapid installation. He cited the consistent outside and inside diameter, and the pipe's dense wall and high compressive strength, which allows for high jacking capacity.
