Thought i should start this topic to defend the 243 caliber rifles for deer hunting. My dad has used a 243 to shoot deer since he started hunting. He has knocked down many deer with one shot. I have also used it to shoot deer with no problem. Dont know why people criticize it so much. If you are good enough at shooting you dont need a big caliber. Just my thoughts.
243 caliber for deer hunting
My wife has been using a 223 to get her does the last 3 years without any trouble. Just have to make sure she has a good shot and her and the gun take care of the rest. I am looking at getting a 243 or a 22-250 for her cause she wants to get a buck tag next year and I don't want her to have to deal with a lot of recoil.
I couldn't agree more. The problem is there are yahoo's who figure you need a super dooper ultra magnum big caliber gun to hunt deer mainly because they lack the shooting or hunting skills they should have.
Their thought is you need a big gun in case of a bad hit on a deer running across the prairie, tongue hanging out, 30 miles an hour, 300 yards away. Go figure.
I'd go with the .243 in case she ever decides to hunt caribou. A .22 - 250 isn't legal for caribou, but a .243 works just fine.
My thought is shoot the biggest caliber you are comfotable shooting. If that is a 243, fine. A good shot is better than a wounded animal from a big caliber. But, I disagree with Bowhunting's thinking as many standing deer have been missed or wounded. I use a 7mm mag most of the time. I don't like to give an animal the chance to get into the thick stuff, I like quick recoveries. Even a lung shot deer can travel a ways.
i have never used larger than a .243 and my father has only used a .222...no need to use anything bigger
A .243 is a fine "youth" or ladies gun and I have shot many, many deer with a .243. However, if you are hunting trophy deer and need to put a big buck down at 300 plus yards. You certainly don't want to be plinking at the possible buck of a lifetime with a 100 grain bullet that is pretty much "out of gas" at distances greater than 300 yards.
The .243 kills very well because it is shot well! The ballistics are the same as the bigger magnums but because they are shot more frequently (prairie dogs and targets) than the bigger magnums (people flinch much more than they are aware) they do a better job on deer or antelope sized animals.
Thinking back on deer/antelope kills with my .243, I'm trying to remember a non-one-shot-kill with it, (must have been one or two but honestly can't think of any offhand) which is sure NOT the case with my .300mag and others shots by buddies I've hunted with who have used various magnums.
.243 is a great round! Perfectly adequate, even preferable, for deer and antelope sized stuff. I agree with bowhuntin.
A .243 will just bounce off of deer. Seen it many times. That's why I shoot a 460 Weatherby. ;) That and I enjoy emergency visits to the clinic to have my shoulder sewn back on.
From NXS on a different thread:
Rem. model 600 in .222 with a fixed 4x Weaver (fine plex) To date I have killed more deer with that rifle than any other I own.
nxs | Dec 9, 2007 8:47AM
????but the .243 will just 'bounce' off a deer?....please explain.
I think that nxs was joking. All i have ever shot is a 6mm and it has taken a few whitetails and mule deer with no problem
Sarcasm. It
If i remember right isnt the .243 acually a .308 necked down? I know theres about 100 ft-lbs energy between the two at 500 yd.s
Walleyestu said it best. Good gun for the ladies.
No, bobkat said it best. I challenge all those "macho men" who shoot big magnums to a test. Give their gun and some shells to someone, and tell that person to randomly either load or not load the gun, and hand it back. Then Mr. Magnum should aim and squeeze the trigger and hand the gun back. When they aim and squeeze on an empty chamber notice the reaction, commonly called flinching, or jerking.
I'm serious, try it and see what happens. I've done it with some who say they don't flinch and they were surprised by the results. Very few can shoot a large rifle without flinching, if you think you're one of them take this test and prove me wrong.
So far as that goes, many flinch on the smaller calibers as well. Only practice and the lack of fear that comes with it cures the twitch.
That's very true, there are a lot of people who flinch with smaller guns also. But the thought that a .243 is only a "ladies and kids gun" is so preposterous it hardly warrants discussion.
Regarding the 300 yard shots people talk about, I don't care what kind of gun you shoot, or what caliber, nobody has any business taking offhand shots at running game 300 yards away. I honestly wonder if people who say this realize how far a measured 300 yards is? Very few people could hit a basketball every shot at that distance offhand, heck, most would have trouble hitting a 55 gallon barrel every shot at 300 yards if they were shooting offhand.
But those are the first to criticize someone who uses a smaller caliber and takes only ethical shots. And for the record, I shoot a .270 for most of my big game, but do have a .243 that has killed it's share also.
Not sure about off hand but I can hold .5 MOA with my .308 at 300 yards with bipods. It takes me about 2 seconds to pop them out and get in the prone. ;)
And yes, I do know how far 300 yards is. At least I believe what my Lecia tells me. As I do 400, 500, 600....
My dad has hunted for 32 years with the same .243 and has shot lots of Mule bucks in the badlands up to 300 yards. The .243 caliber is good up to 300 yards as long as the person holding it is good up to 300 yards. And they are completely comfortable with the shot.
And those are standing shots at 300 yards. And as far as a shot with a .243 bouncing off of a deer i would sure like to see that.
Boy that "bouncing off deer" comment has gotten a lot of attention..... LMFAO! :D
Not sure about off hand but I can hold .5 MOA with my .308 at 300 yards with bipods. It takes me about 2 seconds to pop them out and get in the prone. ;)
I would have to see that to believe it. Not calling you a liar, just that I would have to see it before I would believe it.
I have been using a .243 for the last 20 years for the deer season and it has been very successful. Very accurate, fast and more than enough knock down for whitetail deer. Shot 3 deer this season, one at 482 yards, one at 367 yards and on at 286 yards. All shots the deer was standing still and was shotting from a bipod. 2 out of the 3 dropped dead in their tracks, the third one ran about 10 yards and dropped. I do have a 300 Win Mag but use .243 about 80% of the time. No regrets here for using a .243. but there are many calibers out there that perform just as well, my personal choices are the 6mm (.243) or the 30 calibers.
boondocks where do you live? Fargo area I hope.
0.5 MOA is 1.5" at 300 yards. My SPR A3 G shooting 168 gr SMKs being pushed by 42.5 gr of Varget WILL do that all day long off of a bipod and rear bag. I would love to show you. BUT, you have to come on here and admit it. :) Deal?
You are the exception to the rule and I have no doubt about your ability to make the shot you explained using a tripod.
I was talking about the majority of the general public who usually shoot their guns a few days before season to make sure they are still "on." Then they go afield with the gun and start taking 300+ yard shots at running deer. As you know 300 yards is a long ways, the bullseye looks pretty small in a 4X scope, and the crosshairs nearly cover the bullseye. But they hammer away at running targets, hoping one will eventually drop.
Those are the guys I'm talking about, I'd like to see them hit a basketball every time at 300 yards, offhand, with a wind, after walking. Most wouldn't be able to do it, like I said, I'd bet most couldn't hit a 55 gallon barrel every shot at 300 yards offhand in hunting conditions.
I would agree with you on that for sure.
If you rarely shoot your rifle and do a poke and hope shot at a running deer at 300 yards, it don't matter if you have a 243 or a 300 mag, you got a snowballs chance of even hitting it. That senario is is for a different thread. There are as many slob hunters using 243 as 300 mags. Just a question, am I a "Macho Man" for choosing my extremely accurate 7mm mag (which I have not wounded a deer for over 15yrs) over my 243 (which is my wife's)? What do you consider too big for deer?
Folks posting that a given caliber works are most generally speaking from experience, sometimes vast experience. Conversely quite often folks poo-pooing the use of a given caliber have limited, 2nd hand, "what I read somewhere", or NO experience with that very same caliber.
To make these threads and this whole site much more useful here's what we should do. Those who have 1st person good results with a caliber, bullet, scope, bincos, etc, post you're results. Thorough, yet appropriate post-mortum data to be included please. Entrance point, exit wound, bullet's path, hide/fur/meat damage, etc.
There are also some things that don't work well, so, those with good 1st hand knowledge of poor performance, please report. Again, accurate post-mortum (or lack thereof) data please. Or, reasoning behind some piece of equipment failure/shortcoming.
Now, there'll be a lot of time left over without the, "my buddy said", or, "I heard/read somewhere that" type of thread responses. My advice for using up that extra time, go to the range and shoot more, go hunting, spend more time fishing, scout, get outside!
243Win will whack the snot out of a whitetail LOTS further than 300yds (but don't tell anyone!).
NXS/.5MOA bipod deal, I've seen it, it's true. In fact I've seen him shoot targets @ 400 and 500yds from those same bipods. It was the same day I was making those same shots over my backpack to simulate field positions in preparation for elk hunting.
Funny thing about that practice, I was presented with a coyote this AM @ 425yds. 3MOA of elevation dialing and 1 shot later Mr. Coyote took the Nosler Nap. Not much guessing going on this AM.
nxs, I live in Bismarck. I thought .5 MOA was a 1/2 inch at 300 yards. My bad. Shows how much I know. I can believe 1.5 inches. That is some awsome shooting none the less.
Despite the caliber of choice, I believe the common ground we all share is witnessing a clean, human harvest of any game animal. I do agree with many of the posts that have attempted to defend the .243 (for deer sized game), but nearly every one alluded to standard ethical hunting practices which include: 1. Practicing shots of a typical hunting situation (free handing or off of shooting sticks after physical excursion) 2. Only shoot at game at familiar ranges 3. Only shoot at game that is not running 4. Repeatedly practice dry firing your rifle to eliminate/reduce your flinch....etc.
I would like to establish the other side of the argument. I am a proud owner and user of a .243 and have had also had many experiences in the field and at the range. In my experiences I have found that I have become comfortable taking shots on targets (the size of the area of a deer
Wind can me made moot. Caldwell Wind Wizard and an accurate, proven data set. Check the wind, dial your dope, and el-smacko, backstraps for dinner. A B&C reticle negates the need for dialing most days. Pick a bowtie, hold as necessary based on the 10mph subtensions, and again, el-smacko, backstraps for dinner.
It's not hard, it's just practice.
Good post sanddunes
LOCAL, you should consider a 7mm-08 for your wife. Great choice for someone who doesn't want the recoil without giving up too much knockdown power.
I just started using my .243WSSM this year for deer. it has primarily been my coyote gun but saw 2 trophy bucks taken at more than 300 yards with one shot a piece and that caliber sure did a number on them, neither hardly went more than a couple yards after being shot!! i love the caliber and as long and you take the time to sight in the gun properly it is one heck of a caliber all around!!!
For what ever it is worth, the .243 w/ 100gr bullet has more kinetic energy than a .30-30 with 150gr. I doubt many would argue agains the old classic .30-30
Shear energy does not kill a deer. Hitting them properly surely will.
I don't like using a 6mm on deer primarily because of such a low KO factor. Even WITH a perfect shot, they are in some cases, able to run a heck of a long was before dropping.
.277 and up for deer hunting... If your THAT recoil shy, get a shoulder pad or stick to 22lrs on the bench, and stay off the field. A 22 cal has 0 place in the field, and 6mms are marginal at best.
That's a good point about the 223 round and its military purpose. That is in fact why the U.S. military went away from the 30 calibers of yore.
Here's an interesting question that nobody has ever been able to answer for me. Why do people think if a bullet doesn't leave an exit hole that it's not a quality shot, or quality ammo?
IMHO, any exiting bullet carries energy with it that would have been better spent putting the animal down. I kind of prefer to NOT have exit wounds on my game. That way I know that all the energy of my bullet was put into bringing home the bacon.
Allen, interesting you point that out. In most cases this is what I've found to happen to deer shot with .22 centerfire rounds. The body cavity of said deer is usually turned into mush. Won't live too long like that. I know this is a hard concept for some though. :)
Allen, two definate schools of thought in that area, neither is really wrong either.
My choice, I want a bullet that will get to the vitals regardless of angle. When I've decided to pull the trigger on antlers, meat is a secondary concern. I want a bullet that'll go through whatever is in its way, get to the vitals and cause damage. Yes I would shoot a deer facing striaght away if I wanted the set of antlers he was sporting. So, I shoot a bullet that on all but the lengthwise shots will normally exit.
I have shot bullets that expend all their energy inside the target. Inserted properly they kill like lighting. Inserted poorly they make a mess and don't get to the vitals. Ballistic tips kill quite well and I think when they're kept to 3000fps or less they no longer "detonate" as the early versions did. If you're in that 3200fps or more range, I think the Ballistic tip becomes much less predictable and can still be prone to detonation.
I shot a .243 for many years out deer hunting. I started with a .243 as just a kid and i killed plenty of deer with it, even when i took a shot that wasn't "ethical" it still hit them hard enough to slow them down to put a kill shot into them. I've seen just as many deer wounded with the big magnums as i did with my .243. I knew my .243 really well because i shot it for everything, sparrows, pigeons, prairie dogs, coyotes, rabbits, and deer. I switched a couple of times to the 30-06 i have because i thought bigger gun better kills, well that didn't work out so i went back to what i knew. then this year i switched to my .300 wsm i bought. i finally got drawn for a buck tag and wanted something incase i needed the extra range, didn't get to know the gun and missed shots that shouldn't have been missed and wounded my buck i got on an easy shot. completely my fault for not knowing the gun and had to finish him off with a gun i knew, my AR 15 in .223, two quick shots when we jumped him right through the boiler room, made it another 40 yards and was down for good. then shot a doe after that with the AR. My dad has killed alot of deer with his .223 and he has to shoot an AR cause his shoulder with a previous broken collar bone and other shoulder injuries can't hand the recoil and the AR has virtually no recoil. I'll defend the .223 and .243 any day as long as the shots are kept realistic for the caliber.
Good points Goose slayer....1. Realistic shots for the caliber and 2. Know your gun.... but faster, harder hitting calibers will expand the definition of "realistic shots" for a seasoned riflemen.
To address your questioning of exit wound importance. Actually a bullet that does not exit has transferred all of its Kinetic Energy into the target (no ft/lbs wasted), however I have never witness shock kill a deer. The damage caused by the energy of the bullet is what leads to the fatality. If you lodge a 100 gr 243 bullet into the front or rear quarters of a deer and it does not have enough energy to expand and cause damage to major vessels or vital organs or major weight bearing bones, the deer will continue with minimal blood trail only to die later, miles away from the crime seen.
On the other hand, exit wounds from "realistic shots" will always be bigger than the entry wound (as long as the correct bullet is selected) therefore leaving more opportunity to 1. Cause significant damage to major vessels/organs which will lead to quicker departure and 2. Leave a sufficient blood trail for tracking incase of my earlier mentioned wind swept bullet. Also as mentioned earlier...more velocity and energy down range means an expanded definition of "realistic" shot. In other words...243 faces limitations for deer sized game... that others cals do not.
Horsager and Jiffy (or nxs or whatever else you call yourself now days...LOL!),
What can a guy shoot (aside from ballistics gel) to replicate deer that you can recover the bullet to see how it performs? I would like to see how my bullets are mushrooming. They seem to be performing well, as per the dead deer that I get.
Wet tightly packed newspaper seems to work real well or wet phonebooks packed together. used both and puts a bullet through it's tests in my opinion. bunched up magazines really put's a strain on bullets, but that isn't as close to what happens when you hit a deer it's just kind of fun to do.
Jeepers!! I shot a doe last year with el-cheapo factory 80gn Federal soft points from a 243Win @ 350yds. The deer was quartering away. The bullet entered the rib cage towards the back end got a rib on the way in, traversed the thorax, center-punched the off-side shoulder through the large/thick part of the scapula and came to rest up against the hide on the off side. I hope that bugger doesn't jump outta da freezer when it finds out I didn't use enough gun!
Placement and bullet construction will TRUMP caliber EVERY time!
TSX's render caliber reletively moot.
5 deer and an elk this fall fell to tsx's. With the hide off you'd be hard pressed to distinguish the 243Win from the 300Win mag, or the 270, or the 7-08. Distances from 50-425yds if you were guessing caliber based on examination of wound channels.
Placement, placement, placement!! Construction, construction, construction!! In that very order. Caliber is WELL down the list of importance.
I have shot 2 deer with my .243 and couldn't tell the difference between it and my .270win. in the damage it did, the blood trail, or how the deer reacted. The bullet does make a big difference (I use tsx bullets in all 3 deer rifles), and placement is even more important. Granted I also used to think .243 wasn't enough, but research opened my eyes. I won't shoot past 350yd with it because energy drops below 1000 pounds at that point, but feel very confident up to that range. I also have not seen the bullet fail to give pass-throughs with the bullets I use. The Barnes tsx bullet rules.
LOCAL, getting back to your comment about a rifle for your wife that won't kick her to bad. I have both the 243 and a 22-250 in the M-77 Ruger, both equipped with Leupold Vari-X II scopes. The 243 with 100 grain bullets will kick less than the 22-250 with 55 grain loads. Don't really know why because the rifles are the same. The 243 is a real sweet shooter that my wife has used without any discomfort. The best solution possibly is to just buy one of each and try it out for yourself. Never to many rifles!
I guess I'm not really sure. I do know you can buy ballistics gel though. I can't recall how expensive it is off hand. That would be your best bet.
I've shot a .243 all my life. Two different Model 88's. I started hunting in '69 and quit in '97.
I can recall only one year where I needed to go after a wounded buck. The rest were put down with one shot. In the early years I was a meat hunter and learned where to place the shot to waste the least amount of meat. Of course placement of the shot when "rack" hunting is exactly the same.
Knowing the ballistic of you gun and knowing your gun are vital. Over the course of my 28 years of hunting, I got to know those 88's pretty well. The first one did not have bipods but put those on the second one.
My best memory is busting a buck out of a small patch of buck brush at 25 yards. We saw this buck sillouetted friday night, second weekend and targeted him from then on all weekend. Could not get permission to shoot him on private land that Friday. Rousted him up again on Sat. and chased him into this small patch on Sunday. We pretty much had him surrounded, three of us walking in on him, others posted in several positions beyond us. Doe busts out first, buck with 4 points on one side only next. Big one lastly when we got to within 25 yards of the brush. Buddy put a round in the dirt between the buck and himself before I got my rifle sholdered. We were all given a straight away shot at this beautiful 5X5, 4" g-1's, 10.5-11.5" g-2's, 10" g-3's, 20" wide rack. My first shot being a meat hunter went right between the left g1 and the right g1!!?? ALL three of us missed our first shot. Deer running wide open now, away from us. My next shot piled the deer up in a heap. Buddies gun jammed, other buddy hadn't gotten his second shot off. The deer was shot in the back of the skull and the bullet exited the right eye.
The taxidermist asked, "Why did you shoot him in the head"? Good question but told him that was the only shot I had. Can't ever remember shooting a deer in the hind quarters. Anyway the taxidermist thought he would have to use a different cape for the mount but took a shot at using the original and did a fantastic job.
And the one I'm not proud of but did harvest it just the same. 600 yard shot, I'm on the top of a hill waiting for a buck(5X5) that has showed himself the past two sundowns with other does just at sunset. Bipods down, buck feeding. I squeeze one off, buck rears on hind feet and heads for the creek and gets there before I can get another shot.
I trailed the blood into the creek and kicked him out, saw the front broken leg and decided it was too late/dark to continue. Went after him at first light and took a 30 yard shot to the heart to bring him down. Original shot grazed the bottom of his chest and went in and out the far side leg just above the knee joint. Basically found him very near where I kicked him out the night before. He had bedded down there and spent the night.
Most of the guys in my hunting party shot .243 in either Model 88 Win, or Savage, mostly levers. One .270 in the bunch I recall. We were always buck hunters. The neighbors took the does as we chased them onto their property. I finished my deer hunting career with three consecutive 5 X 5 's, got skunked hunting trophy only deer the last couple years then went fishing.
I don't recall any problems with knockdown power in the .243 caliber in all my/our experiences.
The only lead I throw now runs in 1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 3/16 ounce......you get the idea. Much easier to get on the water that time of the year than to beg landowners on getting permission to hunt.
I would never consider the .243 strictly a youth or womans round. My uncle I grew up with and learned the ropes from used a 22-250 every year I hunted with him. He took his share of trophies with that round.
Shot placement baby!!
this is only my second year hunting for im only 15 and use a 243 and shot a big body mully deer right in the heart and he ran 60 yards then droped a shot a doe right behind the sholder ran 50 yards and dropped both with onyl one shot 243 is fine to me

It would have been an unlikely scenario just a few weeks ago, but the Silver Ferns head into tonight's third and final test against Malawi in Hamilton under real pressure to perform.
When these three tests were first scheduled in the window after the Constellation Cup, they were meant to be a chance to tune up different combinations and give coach Wai Taumaunu more time with the national squad to apply some polish and panache in a low-pressure environment.
But the series against Australia spiralled downwards rapidly after they won the opening test and the first two games against the African side were patchy, particularly last Sunday's performance in Napier.
Taumaunu has rotated her squad - using Katrina Grant at wing defence, Joline Henry at centre and Laura Langman at wing attack - which could account for some lack of fluidity and cohesion but the two displays have been well below the high standards set by the Ferns.
Coming into the Constellation Cup series Taumaunu said one of her major aims was to see a "genuine 60 minute performance" from her team - unfortunately six weeks and seven matches later she is still waiting. There were few positives from last Sunday's game, as Malawi outscored the Ferns in the third quarter, at one stage closing the gap to seven. It was ragged and rough, as the Queens caused problems at both ends of the court and forced a staggering 21 turnovers from the Ferns.
Taumaunu is expected to field her top line up tonight and nothing less than a convincing and quality victory will suffice. There will also be a temptation to give Cathrine Latu more game time at goal shoot, as her combination with Langman continues to build.

Looking for a set of gently used RPF1s. Must be 17x9 +35 with 5x100 pattern since my '12 WRX hatch is riding a stock suspension and I'm not willing to roll fenders. SBC color strongly preferred.
Must be in good condition without major damage. No center caps or lugnuts required. Would be nice if they were in New England area but willing to pay for shipping if price is right. I'm near Boston, MA, willing to drive out to see them if need be.

The Caldwell Bipod Pivot Lock for XLA Bipods is the exact tool XLA bipod owners have been dreaming of! This pivot lock works on all XLA bipods by replacing the thumb nut with the included 10x32 thread adapter for those bipods with SAE threading. The functionality of the Pivot lock is awesome! It lets you lock the bipod pivot in place, and when you need to pivot you just flip the lever and you can shoot away. Conveniently, the lever is spring loaded so that you can more easily move it.

The SuperTruck program launched in 2010 with four teams led by Cummins, Daimler, Navistar and Volvo, and the goal of the US Department of Energy-funded program was to raise fuel-efficiency for Class 8 tractor-trailer trucks by 50 percent from the typical six miles-per-gallon range. Such gains by the industry would mean 300 million fewer barrels of oil consumed in the US each year and $30 billion less spent on fuel annually.
With President Obama in February outlining details for improved heavy-duty truck fuel efficiency standards and groups like the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) joining in, such fuel-efficiency gains are in the works. In fact, already, the Cummins and Daimler teams have already boosted fuel economy by more than 50 percent. Waste-heat recovery systems, more efficient transmissions and better aerodynamics are among the improvements truck makers are applying to boost fuel economy. Check out the Department of Energy's press release below.
This Class 8 tractor-trailer by heavy-duty manufacturers Cummins and Peterbilt reaches more than 10 miles per gallon under real world driving conditions. The truck was on display at the Energy Department today.
Pedestrians passing by the Energy Department headquarters in Washington, D.C. today saw quite a strange sight – an ultra-modern 18-wheeler, Class 8 tractor-trailer parked outside our building! This is no ordinary truck – it's called a SuperTruck, a demonstration vehicle that is part of the Energy Department's SuperTruck initiative. This program's goal is to develop tractor-trailers that are 50% more efficient than baseline models by 2015.
The truck on display, developed by heavy-duty manufacturers Cummins and Peterbilt, has exceeded this goal. Since 2010, the truck has demonstrated a 20% increase in engine efficiency and a 70% increase in freight efficiency, reaching over 10 miles per gallon under real world driving conditions on a Class 8 tractor-trailer. In comparison, an average Class 8 truck typically gets 5.8 miles to the gallon. This accomplishment is so impressive that on Tuesday, the SuperTruck served as a backdrop to President Obama's announcement of new fuel economy standards for heavy-duty vehicles.
Improving the efficiency of long-haul tractor-trailers is one of the many ways that the United States can reduce the amount of petroleum we use and the carbon pollution we produce. Commercial trucks, which include Class 8 vehicles, haul as much as 80% of the goods transported in the country. Although they only make up 4% of vehicles on the road, they use about 20% of the fuel consumed.
Increasing these vehicles' efficiency can also benefit our overall economy. In general, the long-haul truck fleet is quick to adopt technologies that improve fuel efficiency and lower costs for owner-operators. Based on the current price of diesel, these technologies should save truck operators more than $20,000 per year on fuel costs.
Lowering these trucks' fuel costs reduces the amount companies need to spend on transportation and can allow retailers to charge less for their goods. If all Class 8 trucks in the U.S. were SuperTrucks, the country would consume nearly 300 million fewer barrels of oil and spend nearly $30 billion less on fuel each year.
SuperTruck also supports the Energy Department's Clean Energy Manufacturing Initiative – a broad effort to strengthen U.S. manufacturing and competitiveness. Companies will integrate these technologies into trucks built right here in the U.S. When Cummins and Peterbilt adopt these fuel-saving technologies in their product lines, they will be manufacturing them in their facilities in Indiana and Texas.
In addition to Cummins, there are three other companies that have been working with the Energy Department since 2009 to develop SuperTrucks. Each company has its own unique approach, but at least 20% of the efficiency improvements will come from advances in the trucks' internal combustion engines. Companies may also improve the vehicles' aerodynamics, reduce their weight, reduce rolling resistance with high-efficiency tires, and install equipment that limits idle time.
From the Energy Department to the highway, SuperTrucks are set to improve our country's economic, environmental, and energy sustainability.

I'm still in the middle of the art table project, which of course needs more coats of white than I thought. I get so antsy mid-project. Instant gratification is sooooooooooo my thing. I don't like when things take days and days.
I'm running around with the girls...music class, gymnastics, and every grocery store in town. Today we went to Central Market, trying to pick up some fall blooming branches, just like the ones I got two yrs ago when we still lived in Montrose...baby-less. I barely remember that life!!! It's too early though, ya'll. Too early for my perfect fall blooming branches that last from mid October all the way to Thanksgiving. As a consolation prize, the sweet darlin boyish man working there gave each baby girl a sunflower. They were sooo excited and I was wishing he gave me one too!
Also, in case anyone was wondering, there is an EXCELLENT children's resale shop in The Heights. It's called Thread and it's in the middle of 19th street. Perfection. I tried to go today, but it was CLOSED. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. But ya'll need to go. I was drooling in the window and I'm hoping I can find some cute big girl "dressy" attire for my pups. I've exhausted the baby gap for now...I need variety.
Also....we're dealing with a sad loss over here in the Peirce world. My aunt, Anne, is losing her battle with cancer after 7 years of fighting like a champ. Cancer ya'll....it is what it is...sadness. When my mom died, I can so clearly remember Anne coming up to me at the funeral and saying, "This sucks, Jessica." It was exactly what I needed someone to say out loud. She treated me like I was her own daughter from that day forward and I miss her already.
She has however, planned an incredible memorial service for herself complete with fajitas, a mariachi band, and the glee soundtrack remixed with Joni Mitchell to be played in the background. Sounds like the perfect celebration of a great life to me.
Let's live and love like we mean it today!!! Ok?!?!

I am swamped with stuff but shoot me some pics of what you have and Ill try to sort through it!
I don't know if you already know about these sites, but they have a lot of CNC conversion info.

I am swamped with stuff but shoot me some pics of what you have and Ill try to sort through it!
Thanks 762, I tried to look around at those sites but it's hard to find trouble shooting info (mainly show setup, which I went through/checked several times) and with the forums you need to join to use the search function.
I don't know what kind of pics to send?
As for what I used, it's basically everything you have. But I think the only difference I went with was a 48v power supply and the 495 oz motors, oh and right now I have 2:1 pulleys on the table (larger puller on the screw).
So let me know what info you need or give me some settings from yours to try, I don't know what else to look at with all these settings to adjust.
More info from me
The last couple times I messed with it I was trying to make a circle pocket in a piece of wood, well it was more like an oval, the Y was narrower then it should have been, the X was close but still off a little.
So I setup the magnetic base & dial indicator to check the distance movement on the Y, I'd do a test move of .100" and dial it into that with the calibration thing in Mach, but when I'd do a .100" jog (going in one direction only so there wouldn't be any backlash in the move) it would give different readings almost every time, some would be on and others would be over or under anywhere from .004-.012". Then there would be times the DRO would move and the motor didn't, or it would start then stop almost right away, or stop and then start up again.
I've been searching for info but everything I find is mainly for setup, not trouble shooting.

Coils ck pm
Sorry for my absence the past month.
Between work, pc problems, and everyday things needed done around the house I didn't have any real free time for anything else.
I'll be back soon with more details of my issues.
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
OK let's see if I can get some of this figured out, and I think most of my issue is the motor tuning part in MACH3.
I'm using stepper motors that have 200 step per revolution, on the table I'm using a 2:1 pulley setup (smaller on motor), and a Gecko G540.
One thing I really can't find info about in the motor tuning of MACH is;
What do the "Step Pulse" & "Dir Pulse" numbers do for tuning? Look at pic (not mine), I added the red arrows to show what I'm seeing. I've seen these set at different numbers but no one explains what they do.
WTF I can't get the pic to load?!?!
Well here's the link to the gallery
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
Glad youre back! I have not changed those on my set up. I am pulling doubles this weekend but will check it iut as soon as I can.
Im building a cnc router setup now and have a guy getting ready to do a cnc plasma cutter.
We could do a phone call to go screen by screen if it would be easier.
LOL I guess you never figured out what they are either
But I'll ask if you could check yours and let me know what they are set at, like I said I see people using different numbers in those two boxes. Other then the size of the motors I got basically the same setup as yours.
If it comes to it we can do the phone thing. Thanks for offering the help
"Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" Ronald Reagan
here you go. My basic return to if there is a computer problem.
If you are on a scroll down sub menu it is the same as the majority of the presets. Meaning if you have a pic of the top of the sub menu and pic of the bottom of the sub menu but not the middle of it. Just make sure it is the same as where I left off
My pin numbers will be different than yours. It depends on how you connect your wires to the gecko and stepper.
^that one above to this one below v are all the same in between green check on estop is the exception

Jaden Smith's 'Karate Kid' Is A Hit
Watch out Will Smith, your adorable son Jaden Smith is about to drop-kick you out of the spotlight!
Little Jaden, who stole all of our hearts in The Pursuit of Happyness stars in the remake of The Karate Kid and is already getting some major buzz about his acting skills and professionalism. And all at 12 years old! It looks like not only does Jaden want to follow in Dad's footsteps, but surpass them.
He made months worth of commitment to learning kung-fu and training as well as filming in China, where his close-knit parents came along as producers.
"What I did get to see was pretty cool," he said of the move. "I got to run on the Great Wall."
His co-star Jackie Chan was much impressed (the two are pictured together yesterday at
The Karate Kid" street festival and screening yesterday iin Chicago, Illinois). "It was very fun to work with him," the movie star said. "He taught everyone things."
On top of that, the 12-year-old just won the 2010 ShoWest Breakthrough Male Star of the Year for the role.

Oct. 26, 2012
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Riding a five-match win streak. the Tennessee Lady Vol volleyball team opened Friday night's home contest against Southeastern Conference rival Kentucky by taking the first two sets, but the Wildcats rallied in the third to grab the momentum and win the match in five frame, 21-25, 27-29, 25-14, 25-22, 15-5.
It was the Lady Vols eighth five-set match of the season and the loss drops the Big Orange to 14-6 overall and 7-4 in the league. Kentucky improves to 14-8 overall and 8-4 in conference action with the win. It was the 72nd meeting between the two sides and the seventh five-setter against the Wildcats in the Rob Patrick coaching era.
"We just take it one match at a time," said Patrick. "We wanted to protect our streak and play well at home - which we did for two sets - I was really happy with how he competed, with the choices we were making on the court and with defending. I think we just relaxed a little bit and you can't do that against a really good team."
Sophomore Tiffany Baker led the Lady Vols for the second-straight match with 18 kills and posted a team-high .361 attacking clip on 36 attempts. Junior outside hitter Kelsey Robinson added her 41st career double-double with 17 kills and 11 digs, while sophomore setter Mary Pollmiller handed out 41 assists and notched 10 digs for her 11th double-double of the season. Robinson also added three aces.
Defensively, Tennessee got another huge effort from junior libero Ellen Mullins. The Nashville native had 29 digs and is approaching the 1,000-dig plateau with 972 career scoops. Over the last six matches, Mullins has 144 digs for an impressive average of 5.54 digs per set. She's now just 28 digs away from becoming the 13th member of UT's 1,000-dig club.
At the net, the Lady Vols out-blocked the Wildcats by a decisive 15-8 margin. Redshirt senior DeeDee Harrison fell one short of her career high with eight blocks, including two solo, while sophomore Olivia Okoro recorded four. Robinson, Pollmiller and Kayla Jeter combined for 10 blocks.
Kentucky had four players record double-digit kills and four players notch double-digit digs. UK out-killed, out-hit, out-dug and had more assists than the Big Orange.
The Lady Vols got five kills from Baker and five from Robinson in the opening set as well as five massive blocks from Harrison to gain early control of the match with a 25-21 first set win. Tied at 21, Tennessee rallied for four straight points, which included back to back Baker kills to end the game and go up 1-0.
The second frame was one of the most highly-contested games of the season as it consisted of 17 ties and seven lead changes. The two teams were separated by no more than three points throughout the entire set. Kentucky had four chances at set point, but the Big Orange rallied to take the game, 29-27, and go up 2-0 into the break.
Kentucky got things going after the break, leading the entire third game and out-hitting the Lady Vol by a .353-.088 margin to cut the match deficit to 2-1 with a 25-14 win. UK closed the third on an 11-2 run.
Tennessee led by as many as six in the fourth set on four occasions. Down 15-9, Kentucky came out of a timeout and went on an 11-3 rally to take a 20-18 lead and would go on to take the set, 25-22, and force a fifth game.
Kentucky rode a .500 hitting and 83 percent sideout percentage to cruise to a 15-5 fifth-set victory and complete the comeback.
Alabama comes to Knoxville on Sunday afternoon for a match that will be broadcast live on FOX SportSouth. First serve at Thompson-Boling Arena is slated for 1 p.m.

Would you ever pay for a Voice Command type of service on your mobile handheld? Remember, I said "service", so this is a recurring monthly fee. I'm a little skeptical of the business model, but when I hear about MobileVoiceCommand over at Windows for Devices, I was intrigued. So much so, that I downloaded a free 3-day trial and put it to task. All in all, it's not bad; not perfect, but not bad. By comparison with my limited usage, I'd say it's almost as good as Microsoft's Voice Command which you can buy or the limited Voice Speed Dial that Verizon includes with the XV6700.
The MobileVoiceCommand service is only supported on certain devices at this time, and those are few. Here's the rundown:
- Blackberry 7100i
- Blackberry 7130e
- Blackberry 7520
- Treo 600
- Treo 650
- Treo 700p
You'll note that these are devices on the Sprint network, however my XV6700 on Verizon Wireless is essentially the same device as the PPC-6700, so I took a chance on the download (which did work). After a short installation, you'll find that when you press and hold the Record button your device (at least on the XV6700) you get the following window, indicating that the application is listening.
Once done speaking you just let go of the button and the application "does it's thing", which is interesting since it's not immediate. I'm not sure why, but there's a delay of several seconds after commands. My gut tells me that the application sends data back to a service hub via your wireless connection and this hub is where the voice processing takes place. Why do I think that? Three reasons:
1. The service requires a wireless data plan.
2. The installation was about 500 Kb; way too small for a full fledged voice app.
3. It's a service!
Sure there are pros and cons between an application and a service, but features could be easily added to the service at any time from a centralized area. As far as features, there's a pretty impressive set in MobileVoiceCommand:
- No training necessary
- Call contacts by name (how did that jk get in here?)
- Look up contacts by name
- Voice activated Calendar entry (I tried this with a fake appointment and it worked well)
- Short e-mail entry by voice
- Voice activated web browsing
- Weather lookup (tried that too; see below)
- Stock quote lookup
- Sports scores
- Movie times
- Top stories
You can see that the list is more extensive than similar applications; again, this is the benefit of a service. The monthly fee is $6, and there's no discount for a yearly subscription; it will set you back $72. Would I use it? Not likely because there are features I don't need; most of what do via voice is dialing and contact lookup. However, some folks with the supported devices could benefit and you've got 3 days of a trial to find out if it's for you.

Friday Night Lights
Page Tools
Quest for victory: Billy Bob Thornton as football coach Gary Gaines in Friday Night Lights.
(PG) General release
★★★ ½
Arriving in the final throes of the AFL pre-season, Friday Night Lights paints a gritty, compelling picture of football and the meaning of life, or football as the meaning of life.
Based on a non-fiction account of a season of gridiron, it's the story of a small town in which optimism and pessimism revolve around the fate of the high-school football team.
In Odessa, Texas, the success of the Permian Panthers in the State Championships represents the most that the town feels it can aspire to. When the team plays, every store shuts, and the signs in the window read "Gone to the Game" - a ritual of religious significance. The film looks leached of colour, a reminder of how much life is infused into Odessa by the Panthers.
The recently appointed coach, Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton), must constantly be reminded of what's expected of him: victory, nothing less. Gaines carries himself carefully: he's gracious when dealing with townspeople and fans; capable of inspirational rhetoric when he's urging on the team; aware, at the same time, of their vulnerability.
The players, hulking schoolboys, bear the burdens imposed on them by others. Don Billingsley (Garret Hedlund) fumbles passes, and has to endure the abuse heaped on him by his drunken father (country singer Tim McGraw), who has the State Championship ring to prove that he knows what he's talking about. Dour quarterback Mike Winchell (Lucas Black) has the expectations of his fragile, obsessive mother weighing heavily on him.
Only Boobie Miles (Derek Luke), the extravagantly brilliant running back, seems serenely confident of his talents and the glittering future that awaits him.
It's not a new sporting scenario and there are aspects of it that feel familiar - highs, lows, moments of fragility and despair, friction on and off the field, panic, determination, opportunities taken and lost.
Nevertheless, director Peter Berg brings something fresh and raw to the mix, and he's equally interested in portraying the football itself, and the pressures derived from it.
Success comes the way of the Panthers, but it's provisional, filled with anxiety: there's always an edge of desperation, when nothing less than the championship will do.
Friday Night Lights has an ambiguous relationship to victory - sceptical but open, acknowledging the exhilaration of the moment, the rush that individual players feel, the camaraderie of the team, the emotional investment of spectators and the mysterious power of the championship ring gracing the knuckles of many an ageing citizen of Odessa.
And that ambiguity is maintained throughout the film, right down to the last - to the final second of an all-important game, to a revealing title that gives the events of the film a new context, and glimpses of what happened to the real-life models for these characters.

From Helsinki To Russia (or Monday part 2)

20:24 So I'm off again, just boarded the plane for Russia. It's a Russian plane. They clearly like to pack people in, although the plane was not totally full you can tell by the knee room-my knees were touching the seat in front and I'm only 5'6! Hmmm, the lights keep flicking on and off. I don't like that much. I'm on an airbus A319-100 this time. Just behind the exit. I have an immigration card to fill in. Filled most of it in. No sure what patronymic is yet - and that's the translation! Will have to ask. Took off feeling more nervous this time, probably because it's a Russian plane
Bah, so much for tea. Everyone appears to be having tomato juice. Well, not me, oh no, that's the last thing I'd dare pass my lips. I opted for.... Apple juice. Sorry, can't face alcohol yet. I was also given a cadburys 'Tomno' bar. I have a photo, for an awful second as it was places in front of me I thought I read tomato. I was relieved to read otherwise. It's 4 layers of wafer with a layer of chocolate between each and all round. Not sure it goes with apple juice, but that's why I ate it first!
Sorry if I'm boring you with silly detail, after a day of mostly travelling and waiting I needed to occupy myself somehow and I have a nice little app on my iPhone called Momento which is essentially a diary and allows me to write when I want. I read that the train doesn't have power so if the sun doesn't shine (thereby powering my many solar chargers) I might have to resort to pen and paper.
As I type, there is a remarkable amount of accelerating and decelerating going on. An unusual flying style indeed as my apple juice comes sliding towards me across the table top. Ah, that's what the observers drinks hole must be for in this case. Don't normally need it on normal flights as they tend to cruise at a consistent speed. Not sure what this pilot is doing. If he's a trainee he needs to learn not to chase the speedo!
21:26 Flying in to St Petersburg, we emerged through low cloud and what I saw initially was lots of council blocks and high rises. Everything was covered in snow, and then I started to feel a bit sick- with worry I think more than anything else. There were several Chinese people on the flight, 3 of whom were wearing surgical face masks, which just looked a bit odd in amongst everyone else
After first finding a toilet which was a mission in itself as the signs were useless as nothing is written in English, I asked for a taxi to the hostel. 960 Roubles it was, which I decided was less than the $40 the hostel said it charged, so I accepted and got into the taxi with the driver.
As we sped up the main road at about 50mph on very snowy roads, I clung to my rucksack in the back as it was the only thing wedging me. In fact if we'd had an accident on the road the rucksack would be the only thing stopping me hurtling around in the back of the car!
We whizzed briefly past many points of interest, I did attempt to take the odd photo but the speed, the fact it was dark and bumping about in the back just meant the pictures were blurred. There was a 2nd world war memorial with a big needle (similar to the one in Washington DC) with some very Russian looking bronzes around it. There were trams that also travelled up the same road, the buildings all appear very ornate and my initial impression is that it seems to be a cross between Edinburgh and London. We drove over several frozen rivers (using bridges of course) and I also started to notice a large number of very old looking beaten up cars being used. To my amusement about 50% seem to be those awful old Ladas. I vaguely remember them in England, I also remember the incredibly bad reputation they have for being totally crap. I have to say, that if these cars are STILL going here, amongst the deep snow, salt, wet and array of awful speeding drivers, I'm not sure how they got such a bad rep. I mean, they still work!
Anyway, eventually we arrived on quite a dark slushy street, the driver informed me that we had reached the destination, because he got out of the car and started trying to help me unwedge myself. I looked left and right and couldn't see anything that looked like an inviting front door to the cosy hostel that would welcome me in and bring me vodka. No, Mr Taxi pointed me down a small alley and gestured right. So with blind faith I ventured round the back looking for, I dunno, a red and white awning with sparkly lights? Indeed not, I found a dark alley, several uninviting steel doors and no signs at all.
I trying buzzing a few numbers, nothing. I turned round and went back a bit and found an old lady going back into her building and said "is there a hostel here?" I was met with a full on one sided conversation from her in Russian, which is where you stand there look blank, and just say out loud "I have no idea what you're saying, I don't think you know what I'm saying either, I'm just going to go now..." as I raised my hand, stepped backwards and started to sort of wave and smile.
Shit, this wasn't good. I had no idea where I was, I had 24kg on my back and it was 11pm on a fairly quiet road.
I went onto the main road again and found the number I was supposed to be at, phew I was just too far up the road. I buzzed the buzzer and got let in through a gate, disappeared round the back of another alley, found a door and went in. It was a stone reception area, I was relieved to have arrived at my destination even though it looked horribly unwelcoming. I plonked my kit down, said I was here and I had a reservation, she looked confused, I showed her my paperwork and she said no, this is the office. Confused I again pointed at my itinerary and said look - reservation for Na Sadovoy hostel. Again she said no, it was the office. I rooted though some other stuff and found a voucher with apple hostel written on it, AND Na Sadovoy. She said wait a minute, made a phone call and said I was at the wrong place I was at the office. BUGGER! She called a taxi, I stood in the hallway and watched several seedy looking people come in and out. 10 mins later she said I should go out as it would be here. So I got laden up and wandered back into the cold.
About 5 mins later after looking blankly up and down the street, a taxi arrived. Again, I wedged myself in, the taxi driver seemed to know where I was going as the lady told him. We drove a while and turned up somewhere else. I was determined this time not to get out until I was sure I was where I was meant to be. We arrived on a street, the taxi man didn't seem to know exactly where I was meant to be as he started making calls then reversing down the street. At last, a picture of an apple! It was the hostel! I got out and staggered over to the gate through a pile of snow. Another gate, 2 sets of doorbells, no instructions. Argh! Thwarted again!! I stood randomly pressing buttons hoping to get in. It was about 1145pm now. Throughout the last hour I hadn't been cross, upset, worried, tearful anything, because let's face it, the last year has been more traumatic than being vaguely lost in Russia with 24 kg on my back. However now, I was just tired and a bit pissed off, not much, but I wasn't a ray of sunshine by any means as I tried to work out what I might do.
Fortunately I was rescued from throwing a tantrum by the arrival of another person who did know how to get in and attempted to talk to me. All I gathered was that he was called Alec, appeared to be Chino-Asian and knew where the hostel was. He offered to carry my rucksack but it was late, I was paranoid and fobbed him off with it being good for me to carry it. I climbed 2 flights of stone stairs a door opened and I had the biggest most surprising welcome that I had totally not expected. Inside a lovely women, called Alla, must have been about 65, welcomed me in, opened her arms to embrace me, gestured me into the hostel, took my daysack off me and got me to sit down. Ramon checked me in, Alla took me to my room then made up my bed for me and gave mea towel before ushering me into the kitchen to see if I wanted a drink. I met Irene who is a Russian doctor studying in a psychiatric hospital and living in the hostel in the same room with me.
We chatted a while, I told her where I was going on my trip and we went to the kitchen and she gave me half an apple, half an orange, 2 pieces of fried bread and some yoghurt with something weird derived from milk in it. I still have no idea what it is. It is White and crumbly and seems to have the consistency of feta. It doesn't smell amazing and is apparently made by boiling milk until it separates into wateriness and this weird crumbly stuff. I tried to mixed with yoghurt which was how it was served. I did not like. If anyone knows what it might be let me know. They seemed surprised I didn't know.
It was midnight by now, I had a quick cup of the trusty decaf Tetley tea you all know I love, which I brought. Everything seemed familiar and good. Maybe that's why when trams crash in corrie or planes land on emmerdale or half of eastenders cast are killed off on a freak killer monkey escape from the zoo, that the first thing everyone offers is a cup of tea. Because just for a moment, everything is alright again (despite the mass carnage that has just occurred and will be forgotten in 2 episodes time), it's just British.
Going back to it being midnight, half the hostel arrived in the kitchen both to see me and eat their supper. I was informed that a lot of Russians ate at this time and went to bed late and still got up early. I made my excuses and went to bed. Ear plugs in, eye mask on I tried to sleep. I woke up briefly when my fellow room mate came in and got into the squeakist bed I've heard and opened the window! I got rather chilly rather quickly, but fortunatly she closed it after a while. And I managed to sleep on feeling really quite settled.
Oh Zoe! Its all so exciting! I'm really enjoying reading your blog so far, finding out about your adventures. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your time in saint petersburg! I'm glad you finally got to your hostel and the people were nice. :-) loving the pictures too!!! Take care and stay safe! x
the cheese didn't look like that though! It didn't look smell or taste like cottage cheese. I've only had cottage cheese a few times and i honestly couldn't identify it because it was so dry and crumbly

Airbind is a free Android app that enables users to wirelessly sync their iTunes media library to any Android device over Wi-Fi. Now, don't get me wrong, there have been other apps in the Android Market that perform a similar task, but we thought we'd give Airbind a shot and see how it compares.
There are many music lovers (myself included) who still use a Mac and iTunes but also have an Android smartphone. It's never been as straightforward syncing your music collection to your Android devices as it is to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, but Airbind claims to make it easier.
You download and install the program for your Mac or PC from the Airbind website, then you install the app from the Google Play store. Once your computer and smartphone/tablet are visible to one another on the same Wi-Fi network it starts syncing. Before long, there is music on the SD card or internal storage of your device. Or, at least, that's how it's supposed to work.
One size does not fit all
See, first off, there's no flexibility here. It starts syncing your entire library, and if you have 20,000+ songs like me taking up 100GB on your computer, that ain't all gonna fit onto your SD card. The app developers claim that a way to selectively specific playlists was added in a recent update, but I couldn't see that option. Other apps like AirSync by DoubleTwist ($4.99) and iSyncr for PC and iSyncr for Mac (both $2.99) allow you to select individual playlists so you can upload just a selection of tracks and not run out of space. Sure, they run you a bit of cash and aren't free like Airbind, but frankly, they work better. I'm betting there are even some decent free syncing apps in the Google Play Store that do a better job, too (feel free to mention them in the comments below).
More importantly though, I couldn't get the darn thing to work. I followed the instructions to the letter, but my Droid Incredible did not fill with songs as expected. Also, the app on my MacBook Pro (running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8) doesn't offer any indication the app is syncing. It's sluggish to react to clicks and gave me a Java error. Subsequent times, I opened the app on my smartphone and didn't have the app open on my MacBook. Airbind didn't even tell me to open Airbind on my host computer. Sorry, both apps seems fundamentally broken, and with no support on the company's website, it just seemed easier to use one of the well-respected, proven apps above, or get with modern times and use a cloud service like Amazon MP3 or Google Play Music. I'm sure I could have spent some time figuring out how to get it to run properly, but apparently I'm not the only one – reviews in the Google Play store have been overwhelmingly negative so far.
So Airbind has potential, that's for sure. But right now it's fundamentally flawed which is a shame. To add insult to injury, the app description says it's not even compatible with Google's flagship ICS-running Galaxy Nexus smartphone. But fear not, you're not missing out. Though Airbind apparently does what it sets out to do for some people, its lack of flexibility is a bit of a pain, unless you keep a very small collection of music in your iTunes library.
That's if you can even get it to work.

Introductions: still got pains post MI and PCI
Hi all
just finding my way around after having heart attack (MI) on 12 July 2012 and subsequently having one stent fitted (PCI) on 18 July 2012
Still getting chest pains and have been back to hospital 3 times now.
each time all ECGs are ok and blood tests normal they even did a repeat angio gram to check for any problems but all ok
They suggested stomach problems but I am already on lansaporzale and I have even taken gaviscon when got the pain but to no effect the GTN sppray has little or no effect and the last time when waiting in A & E to be transferred to a ward whilst waiting blood test results they gave me somemorphine IV to ease the pain problem was they only got 5 ml of the morphine in before the pain got to be wrose than when I went to hospital and they stopped the injection
any ideas on what is wrong ???
feel a fraud calling 999 etc when still got the chest pains even after taking 3 lots of GTN over a 20 min period only to spend 24 hours in hospital and told everything is ok
am now getting reluctant to call them again and waste everybodys time
hope someone can point me in the right direction
I have made an appointment to seemy GP but htat is not until next Monday
regards Ron H
Hi Ron,
Im sorry to hear about your recent problems.
I had an MI a year ago and 2 stents fitted. I had chest pains for a few months after, and was told it was just the stents settling in. What I had to keep reminding myself was although I didn't have open heart surgery, doctors still had been poking around in my heart with instruments. So Im thinking this could be your problem.???
I understand about feeling like a fraud calling for an ambulance so often. The week before my MI I had chest pains every day and I was in hospital 3 times for 12 hours per time and was told nothing is wrong then bang!! I had a heart attack. If you are in any doubt what so ever phone for one..better safe that sorry.
I hope you get to the bottom of it and the pain go away soon.
Keep in touch and let me know how you get on.
Hi Ron,
Welcome to the Community. I'm really sorry to read that after having your heart attack and stent insertion you are still experiencing symptoms and can understand why you might feel you are wasting everyone's time. I am keen to reassure you though that you are doing the right thing. It is important to rule out that your symptoms are not due to another heart attack and it is great news that you haven't had another one.
I am pleased you have made an appointment to see your GP as your symptoms do need further investigation. In the meantime it is important to continue what you are doing when you experience symptoms, taking the GTN spray and calling 999 if it doesn't work. Feel free to phone our Helpline if you would like to speak with a cardiac nurse in the meantime.
All the best and I hope you get a diagnosis and treatment for your symptoms.
I hope this helps in someway, I had heart attack 15 months ago and had 3 emergency stents inserted. I had chest pains from the word go, I went back to hospital on two occassions convinced I was having another attack but nothing showed up on any of the tests they gave me. Over the following months I saw the specialist and my own doctor a few times and underwent a treadmill test to see if the pains were heart related but all the results were negative. I had my medication tweeked a few times and this helped but it was 10 months before I had my first pain free day. Now I am as right as rain and actually feel better than I have for many years. I would say its very early days yet so don't expect miracles too soon just stick with it give it a bit more time and keep your doctor informed and I'm sure in time you will get through it. Good luck.
HI you guys,
I too have 2 stents fitted (july and September) and having the same anxious feelings over chest "niggles". I got myself into a right old state, went to the doctor , who took blood and did a heart trace( both ok)
she upped the dossage on my betablocker, which she said would lower my bp and help calm me down.
still feel anxious, and still getting the odd twinge (real or imaginary)
so what a relief to stumble upon you guys, and realise I'm not alone!
especially like the post from Neil who says it took 10 months to settle down,and now he's as "right as rain"
I find that so reassuring!!
all the very best to you all, keep on getting better!
Hi all,
I had my MI in August and had one stent fitted, afterwards with every twinge I felt anxious to the point where I was convinced that it was happening again. I was prescribed Fluoxetine which after 20 days made me feel worse, I started shaking, sweating and was so anxious that I thought I was going mad. I came off the Fluoxetine and realised that I needed to control my thoughts, its been difficult but day by day I'm getting there. I still get palpitations but dismiss them and still get mild pains in the chest but they soon go. It seems that I was putting myself in a perpetual loop with worry. I feel now that my recovery is well under way.
Good Luck to you all

Ridiculously heartwarming!
It's nice to have an anime series where the couple actually does get together
and reminds you of what it feels like to fall in love, *gush*!
My favourite romantic-comedy anime of 2015.
"Heels, clothes that are extremely delicate or uncomfortable, high maintenance hair styles—all of that might be beautiful, but how many of us can wear those things in our everyday lives?"Also, loved the sentiment and evolution of style discussed in Garance's Women at Work.

SIMPLE 1KW AB Amplifier
Rangkaian Power Amplifier 1000W Creest.jpg
Part List 1000W amplifier.jpg
i think this is very simple of 1kw ab amp for me as beginner of DIY,
but does anyone know the truth of 1000watt Lable?

If you are a beginner at DIY audio electronics I'd humbly suggest you look into proven DIY designs that are a little, no actually quite a bit, more modest than sighting 1kW amplifiers. There's lots of stuff here, some fairly generic others exotic that would be a likely better place to start.
In looking at the schematic and parts list some of the values seem less than ideal to me. Also why is there an output Zobel at the bases of the 2SC2922 outputs and not on the actual speaker output? I don't suggest trying to build this as it is presented.
Even assuming zero losses I'd think not quite 1000W but let's see what we get anyhow. Let's give the best chance for a high output and talk of a 4R load.
63Vpk^2/4R=992.25Wpk that would be ~496W average power in a perfect lossless world. There is no such thing as RMS watts, RMS voltage and current but power is average. This is as close as you are likely to get and the value was still rounded up.
Now the SOA curves indicate just over 3A per device at the supply voltage for the outputs specified on the parts list. 63V/4R=15.75A total peak current divided by 5 pairs is 3.15A, right at the hairy edge of the SOA and flirts with second breakdown. This also does not account for a reactive load. So a nominal 4 ohm load in the real world would likely violate the SOA of the output stage. Also there is no protection at all considering how close it would potentially be to releasing all it's magic smoke.
Let's account for some losses and see where we go from there. Start with the power supply and assume under no / minimal load such as a quiescent state and your mains is delivering its ideal nominal voltage that you actually have 63V rails. Now lets say the mains is down near the allowable -10% (for my area at least) mark, that would reduce the rails down to about 56V. Of course bulk supplies that would likely power a project as this aren't totally stiff either and let's assume a further 6% loss under full load. Now our rails are in the neighbourhood of 52.5V. Now let's look at the OPS. Assume hard clipping, the output transistors themselves have a saturation voltage of 2V, so with our drooping mains and supply rails we can say perhaps realistically a 50V peak output to the load.
Now things look more like 50V pk^2/4R=625W pk, or 312W average.
Now the VAS has an unusually large amount of degeneration with R11 being 330 ohm and a VAS current of 12mA. This will cause the loss of another 4V of swing from the positive rail. Also the CCS being supplied by a 4V7 zener will cause about 4V loss of swing towards the negative rail.
What's left? 46V pk^2/4R=529W pk, or 264W average.
At least with some losses accounted for the OPS devices are not so close the their SOA limit but a highly reactive load would still present a danger to them. The 1000W claim seems a little fluffed up and in reality a 1000W amplifier would be a little more involved than the design presented here.
Find a nice, honest 50W to 100W design for a place to start if your skills are decent or if some of the design work id already done and tested for you, such as a group buy on boards with an established group of successful builders. Otherwise start smaller and work up from there. My and that's exactly what it's worth...

There is no such thing a a simple 1KW amplifier and the above circuit is very poor, wrong in places and simply very niave, and nowhere near a real 1KW.

what is the purpose of R5 and R9?

R5 just absorbs some of the voltage from the LTP current source. R9 prevents the VAS current source from latching up when the amp clips. It WILL do this if you just tie the bases of the current sources together. Try it sometime (with a low power amp). It's really annoying, and the sims won't necessarily show a problem.
+/-63 for a kilowatt. Right. I guess they assume everyone's using 8kVA toriods to get regulation and 1 ohm loads to get power. I really wish they'd stop this. There is probably enough SOA for a real world power supply and load, but it's a 150W amplifier. 200W at the outside, assuming you spent $300 on the toroid. And there are way better 150W amplifier deisgns out there.
Want a kW? Try one of the Workhorse or Apex designs - or clone a big QSC. Even "Project 117" is just a starting point not a complete amplifier.

For those of you who don't know, The Gruffalo's Child is a follow-up book after the original The Gruffalo. However, instead of coming from the view of the mouse family, this time we are actually introduced to the Gruffalo family. Here's a quick synopsis of the book and the movie:
In The Gruffalo's Child, the Gruffalo tells his child an extraordinary story of "The Big Bad Mouse," warning her never to go in the woods alone because there is a terrible creature lurking there. Waiting until her father falls asleep, the Gruffalo's Child sneaks out into the deep dark woods to see The Big Bad Mouse for herself. Along the way she runs into a snake, an owl, and a fox and discovers that while they have similar features to The Big Bad Mouse, they are, in fact, not him. Just as she is about to give up her search, she stumbles upon a tiny mouse. Cautious of her, the mouse listens to what the Gruffalo's Child is looking for, and then decides to reveal his big bad secret.My Take: I had the great opportunity to not only review this movie, but also the book! My kids love books, as do I, so it was obvious that I started the night before reading the book to my kiddos. They loved it. The pictures are so entertaining and interactive. They enjoyed trying to guess what each creature was on every page and then both were surprised with the cute ending.
The next day we decided to watch the movie. At first I didn't tell the kids there was a movie so they were pleasantly surprised. The book is a quick read so I expected the movie to be super short but instead they drew it out to a reasonable 40 minutes. It was the perfect length. Now, parts were a little spooky for the kids but nothing disturbing or to worry about. My kids are 3 and 4 and they enjoyed the suspense. I put the DVD in while I was resting, they took the book and basically "read" along with the movie! Perfect!
Buy it: The Gruffalo's Child can be purchased for the SRP of $9.99 (very reasonable) from Toys 'R' Us, Walmart, Target, Amazon and also www.NCircleEntertainment.com.

We Hit the Roads of Northern Mexico
Ok, I know the previous stories were getting a little boring perhaps. I mean what happens travelling the great ribbons of roads that make the USA what it is to us travellers, although they are not thought of nor appreciated by everyone in the USA who has to get anywhere at anytime, their highway system is the best, bar none, and most of it is free, at least all of the roads we took from Port Huron to Mercedes Tx. They are clean, well maintained, ...
Getting caught up on the trip
... a water park that we stay in every time we come this way. It has hook up for RVs. We stayed at Chris and Juan's for 4 days in Monterrey, They had a really nice place for us to park the motor home and Chris took us all over the city. Juan cooked a great meal and we had so much fun.
Pics of An Intense Thunderstorm
Today we were just casually chilling on our terrace when suddenly all hell broke loose around us, or respectively in the mountains close by. Luckily we were spared and stayed dry, and therefore we all had our cameras out to take some pictures. It took me about 250 pictures, but I managed to snap a few lightnings as well ...
Improving Our Knowledge of the Mexican Culture
... entered the museum, we wanted to claim a student discount. We did so by showing our temporary schedules, because our student IDs were not yet ready ;) Entrance cost was about 1€. In the museum, which was surprisingly not very full, an employee offered to tell us some additional information about a particular exhibit, but ended up showing us around for the entire duration of our stay. Check the pictures to get an impression of what it was like. Overall I really liked that ...
