Bruins-Canucks Game 2 preview
|06.04.11 at 5:12 am ET
VANCOUVER — They've been there before, but the Bruins would really like to avoid a two-game hole.
The B's will not hold a morning skate Saturday in anticipation of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals vs. the Canucks, while the Canucks are scheduled to go at Rogers Arena. The Bruins will hold availability at their hotel at about 2:30 EST. Here are two objectives, two stats and two players to keep an eye on in Game 2.
– Continue to make the special teams a wash. The Bruins may not have been as good on the power play Wednesday as they've said they were, but having both teams go 0-for-6 on the man advantage is a tradeoff the Bruins should be more than happy to take. Leaving Zdeno Chara in front of the net is the right move for the Bruins, even if it isn't paying off just yet.
– Get better chances against Roberto Luongo. The shutout for Luongo in Game 1 was much like Tim Thomas' shutout in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, only Luongo faced more shots. Though the Bruins got 36 shots on Luongo, the opportunities came far less often than the shots. As Milan Lucic noted Friday, the Bruins have to get in closer and be persistent in front.
– Luongo also had Game 1 shutouts in the first and third rounds, as he blanked the Blackhawks and Predators to kick off those series. In the games that followed, Luongo allowed multiple goals. He let in three in Game 2 vs. the Blackhawks and two against the Predators, though the latter came in double overtime.
– This one has made the rounds the last couple of days, but the fact that Johnny Boychuk has been on the ice for the Bruins' last seven goals against makes for a streak No. 55 would probably like to see end.
– Henrik Sedin. It was Daniel Sedin who turned in the standout performance Wednesday among the twin brothers, with Henrik doing little of note. Henrik didn't have a shot on goal (Daniel had eight), and he didn't even fire a shot all night. The Canucks' frist-line center also went 8-for-25 in the face-off circle and had a giveaway.
– Tim Thomas. It's been up to the Vezina favorite to keep the Bruins in the last two games, and though he's only allowed one goal over that stretch, he only has one win for it. The B's need Thomas to remain as sharp as he's been, but it would be nice if the Bruins' goal-scoring department gave him some support.

There won't he any federal unding of new road or street irojects in Cedar Rapids until a controversy is resolved con- cerning the route of 1-3110 north of the city. Howard Gunnerson, acting director of the highway commis- sion, said Monday certification of the Linn county regional jlanning commission's planning iroccss is being withheld until several aspects of a metropoli- iati transit plan have been ap- proved. "That does pote a problem unlil that's he said when asked if the Hiawatha jypass controversy was the jrincipal reason for the delay in certification. Some Exceptions Federal funding cannot be ob- tained unless the planning iroccss is certified. In the past, some exceptions have been made on a project-by-projecl basis, but Gunnerson said it is doubtful any more exceptions will be made. Only those projects which are already under way will continue to be funded until the certifi- cation is obtained, he said. Planning Director Don Salyer, who holds that position for both the city and the planning com- mission, said the highway com- mission, objections are due to ,he fact Hiawatha lias not ap- >roved an 1-380 route through .he city. Meeting Set Other cities in the region have approved plans showing both a jypass route and one through liawalha, but Hiawatha has np- iroved only a plan showing the jypass route. A meeting is scheduled Thurs- day night involving the planning commission and the city coun- cils of Cedar Rapids and Hia- watha to discuss the route con- troversy. Memorial Services Cunts, It.

Incidents The officials said some incidents of desertion falling within the scope of Ihe clemen- cy program were recorded dur- ing the Vietnam war. They said approximately 12.500 deserters arc still at large with about of them in Canada. About CGO deserters arc now serving sentences or are await ing trial. The President's proclamatior specified that cvadets or de sorters wanted on charges other than those associated v avoidance of military service might be forced lo have the other charges disposed of before clemency would be considered. "Honorable Service" For deserters, length of alter nale service would depend on "such honorable service as an individual may have rendered :rior to his absence, penalties already paid under the law, and sucli other mitigating factors as may be appropriate to seek cq- jily among those who partici- pate in this program." To be eligible for clemency, deserters would have to have commitcd their offenses be- wecn Aug. 4, 19R4, and March coal resources in Iowa. The main stumbling-block is the cheap removal of sulphur from the deposits. Taxes, the governor com- mented, have been reformed in avor of the poor and middle class without hurling the state treasury. Iowa spends less than it brings in, Ray claimed.

The J&K police on Saturday arrested Pradeep Singh, a daily wager with the public health department, who allegedly provided shelter to the two fidayeens who attacked a CRPF camp on Wednesday.
This is the third arrest in connection with the attack that left five CRPF men dead. Singh, 34, is a father of two and belongs to Kansipora, Baramulla, in North Kashmir. He reportedly provided shelter to the group of fidayeen after they crossed over to Kashmir from Pakistan occupied Kashmir a month ago.
Police sources said Singh, a retired army Havaldar's son, had lodged the militants in a government accommodation near his work place in Tangmarg area in North Kashmir.
The militants had met in Tangmarg on March 11, before coming to Srinagar on March 12.
This comes after the arrest of suspected Lashkar militant Talha Zarar and trans-border courier-cum-double agent Bashir Ahmed Mir alias Haroon.
According to sources, it was a SIM card recovered from the dead militants which led to Talha's arrest, who later revealed the names of Mir and Singh during his interrogation.
Mir had also arranged for a hideout in Srinagar and travelled to Bemina where the two militants were dropped for the attack.
According to Singh's wife, the militants stayed with Singh in Tangmarg. Independent sources told HT that Singh had been arrested once before in 2001for possession of fake currency.

I already got one price today.
and remove it from the property cept' maybe leave a lil' firewood. Ball park. Its real accessable...right over the gravel driveway. No wires,,,no house in the way. Way dead. Long Island NY.
I already got one price today.
Approximate height and diameter? Will any damage occur to just drop it or will it need to be taken down in pieces? Any hauling of debris or will entire tree be left as firewood? You buck up into burnable size or leave 5' to 10' sections for homeowner? Any splitting involved of the bucked wood?
I want them to take most of it outta here cept for the trunk they can cut into firewood size pieces that I'll split. Not sure what kinda wood it is but if it's sumpin good like mahogany or oak I'm gonna see how much a mill near here wants to cut it up for me into planks but we're not figuring that in right now.
Thing too is...they don't have to haul the stuff to their truck being its all right in my driveway so that saves some time for them.
And no damage to anything will occur when sections fall being its over a gravel driveway and lawn.
I'm even "considering" renting a bucket lift and doing it myself....considering is key word
Couldn't tell from the picture, that sounds like a good sized tree, I'd probably charge around $200 if it can be dropped in one shot. If it's got to be limbed and pieced out, then closer to $400, since the tree would have to be climbed, limbed, and sectioned.
You can get some nice graining from locust. If the tree is long dead, however, you may have trouble finding someone willing to mill it because old wood = hard wood - quickly dulls blades. It won't hurt to check around though. Also, you may find a portable miller who will bring his mill to your tree, drop the tree and make the lumber right there. Could save on overall costs as well as ease transporting the log to a facility for milling.
How much if it were a Spruce? Well, I don't normally take contracts on family, but there are a few that I'd consider ...
$400? Man, Sprucey, you DO work cheap! Holy cow! I had some pricing done on this monster at my place--about 60 feet or more, though--little more convoluted with getting it "out" but still it was THOUSANDS. Of course, they want three times what I paid for the house to fix the chimney, so...I guess they think I'm one of them "Rich" Californians instead of a starving student.
My buddy owns a limo service. He'll be right over. Wear your boots...I'll wear mine...
That's a tree I wouldn't hesitate to cut down myself if it was on my property. The real work is in bucking off the stuff you don't want to burn & chipping it or hauling away.
BTW- locust is a pretty hard wood to cut & chip up, espesially if you have an old chipper like me. It would take me a day or two with a little help. Locust is pretty rot resistant & prized as fence posts. Not the best firewood, but it burns.
Give it to Moon, she can get it to burn ...

|China Doll: The forbidden doll photography of Liu Xia strikes a blow for freedom and democracy.
I'm not writing about some sort of fictional, alternate reality—like Suzanne Collins's THE HUNGER GAMES—I'm referencing China, a country that holds familial ties to me. One of the People's Republic's most famous dissidents is Nobel Peace Prize–winner Liu Xiaobo, who was recognized with the award in 2010. A professor and a public reformer for a democratic China, Xiaobo had been arrested in 2009 for his vocal and tireless agitating, and was sentenced to more than a decade of confinement.
While behind bars, he was given the honor of the Nobel Peace Prize, and his wife, Liu Xia, was immediately put under house arrest, where she still remains. And that is why her doll photos are so amazing and so chilling.
Xia utilizes dolls, which she calls "ugly babies," as props to represent the way the Chinese people are denied freedom and access to education, public discourse, and personal choices. Among her compositions is a pairing of a doll perched on the shoulder of her husband before his most recent incarceration: it is a testament to how all citizens of China can have their strings pulled—their fates cradled in the hands of others. They are left feeling impotent—needing to cry out and feeling afraid and alone.
A friend of the couple, Guy Sorman, who is a French economist and writer, visited Xia in her Beijing home in 2010. He saw the black-and-white photos, which she shot and developed in her personal dark room, and urged her to show them publicly. Knowing that she could not do so in her homeland, Xia agreed to allow Sorman to take the pictures out of China and give them a public viewing elsewhere. The photos have cropped up in Europe, America, and in other countries where democracies are functioning and flourishing.
The pictures are large—measuring 3 x 3 feet. They couldn't be simply carried inside a person's valise or backpack without raising eyebrows at customs. So, Sorman took a couple of prints, and then convinced other visitors to Xia's house to "smuggle out" the remaining ones. There are 26 photos in all, and each person agreed to ferry one to freedom. The transporting and traveling of the images took over a year.
The doll photos, which Sorman is the curator of, are packaged under the gallery name "The Silent Strength of Liu Xia," and they were at Columbia University for a few weeks. (The show closed on Thursday, March 1.) It is now heading to other locations, which Liu Xia is willfully ignorant of.
And that adds an additional heartbreaking aspect to this tale of dissent, underground exhibitions, and friendship that promotes political rallying. In order to protect herself and to be able to truthfully tell the government that she has no idea of the showings and its itinerary, Xia requested that she be kept entirely in the dark. She has no knowledge of when her photos are being showcased; where they are being mounted; and who is attending and commenting on it.
When a person is lucky enough to see this show as it wends its way around the world, he or she is striking a blow for personal expression. I found out about it as it heads toward its final American date in New York City (April 20, at press time), and was able to catch the installation (http://www.italianacademy.columbia.edu/).
Dolls have long been used as a metaphor in artist showings: creative types from Degas and Dahli to Beth B and even Gloria Vanderbilt have utilized dolls and doll parts to make a point and move an audience.
For Liu Xia, who finds herself confined in her home, these doll photos are eerily personal and prophetic. She took the series of photos back in the late 1990s, utilizing dolls that she had received as gifts from a friend in Brazil. At the time, she never imagined that she would find herself imprisoned in her house 15 years later. Just as a doll is placed in its dollhouse, and told what to wear, how to behave, and what to do by its owner, Xia is now locked away and given her daily marching orders by the ruling party.
Books and writing tools, bindings and blindfolds, suffocating plastic bags and crucifix-shaped wooden poles, play pivotal roles in her artwork. She is showing how the Chinese people—represented by the dolls—are denied autonomy and abilities to be self-directing adults.
Here, the dolls are more than just the "ugly babies" of her imagination. They are a reminder of how precious it is to have freedom of expression, freedom of communicating, and freedom of idea exchanging.
This is just a weekly doll blog, where I ask readers to offer up their two cents and to opine openly. It's a pastime—a little slice of entertainment.
In China, this would be forbidden, and would be scrutinized for content and hidden subtext. Today I invite anyone who reads this to post a thought—not because you may want to, but rather because you are able to.A rose is a rose is a rose, but a doll is a warrior for freedom. How sweet it would be, if a mere plaything managed to bring down a communist house of cards.

Living in America, we take all of our rights for granted. It's frightening that a series of doll photos could threaten a government. It shows how scared they are of their own hold on the people. I hope a protest does arise, and dolls could be credited for that. I enjoyed this posting.
The Chinese have a rich history of scholarly pursuits, innovations in paper and calligraphy, and respect for their elders, education, and knowledge. It all changed with the "Cultural Revolution." It's scary that the "culture" was stripped by this undertaking. Mao was a horrible man, but he is still loved by the Party. The Party rules with an iron fist. That's why the people can't or won't rebel. They are terrified of the repercussions if they fail.
I find Liu's story both touching and indicatave of China's problems. While much of America has gone through an East Asian mania mostly thanks to anime, I still haven't, not that anime is connected to China particularly, so far as I know. I'll say up front that I don't care for China one bit and never have. Especially where our relations with that country are concerned. I can't stand the way it treats its citizens. Now, having said that, a question arises in my mind. There are something on the order of 1.3 billion people living in that country. If they wanted to revolt on a massive scale and replace their government, nobody could hope to stop them. So, one wonders at the psychology of repression playing out over there.

Kickfolio, a service that allows developers to offer demos of their iOS apps directly in the browser using an HTML5-based platform, today announced it is now allowing devs to embed their iOS apps directly in the Facebook news feed. The news comes as the company raises over $1 million in seed funding and changes its 'Kickfolio' branding to a more suitable "App.io".
We've told you about the service before, which allows devs to embed playable HTML5 demos of their iOS apps directly on webpages and press releases for as little as $9 a month. Today the company is not only bringing that functionality directly to the Facebook news feed (as pictured above), it's also announcing that support for Android is on the way.
App.io currently has about 3000 devs signed up, most of which are using the service as a marketing tool to drive users to the App Store. The company says the average user spends about 1 minute, 19 seconds playing the demo with 12 percent making their way to the App Store and those stats are expected to increase thanks to the new Facebook integration. App.io plans to integrate its service with other ad networks and platforms in the future and also launch tracking and analytics features.

Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud. Robert L. Park. 230 pp. Oxford University Press, 2000, $25.
Physicist Robert Park is the longtime director of the Washington office of the American Physical Society and author of a weekly electronic column on science issues (which he always concludes with the disclaimer that "Opinions are the author's and are not necessarily shared by the APS, but they should be"). Voodoo Science is directed at the general public, although it can profitably and enjoyably be read by scientists.
Park does more than analyze and expose various kinds of bad ("voodoo") science. He demonstrates how valid science is distorted or ignored by the media and by those (including scientists) seeking to influence public policy. National science policy is often dominated by nonscientific considerations.
Park describes several categories of voodoo science. In pathological science, scientists manage to fool themselves, usually by misinterpreting unremarkable events and convincing themselves that they have made a great discovery. The cold fusion fiasco is a prime recent illustration, and comments on various aspects of it are scattered through several chapters.
Junk science usually consists of "tortured theories of what could be so, but with little supporting evidence." Junk science mainly fools nonscientists, ranging from jurors to senators. Park describes the politics and science behind claims that electromagnetic fields from electric power lines are a cause of cancer. This cancer fear became widespread with publication of Paul Brodeur's New Yorker articles alleging vast conspiracies to conceal the dangers of electromagnetic fields. Although junk science has facilitated successful lawsuits (for example, those regarding cosmetic breast implants), a 1993 U.S. Supreme Court decision requiring judges to limit expert testimony to that based on "scientifically valid principles" effectively killed suits alleging injury from electric power lines. Even so, as Park ruefully notes, the cost of these unjustified fears was something like $25 billion (a figure that includes property value losses as well as money spent on the relocation of power lines and dubious research projects).
Pseudoscience, which involves passionate belief with no evidence, is often the result of convictions based on religion or politics. Examples are beliefs that extrasensory perception exists, transcendental meditation can have material effects, the earth has been visited by aliens, magnets have healing powers and a "quantum jump" to a new level of consciousness can banish cancer. Pathological science, junk science and pseudoscience can all lead to fraudulent science, which involves deliberate deception.
Where science is incomplete and uncertain, nonscientific considerations are likely to trump science, especially if policy decisions need to be made. Park devotes several pages to the global warming debate. He describes those at the extremes as Malthusian pessimists and technological optimists and observes that they disagree more about social values than about science.
Space exploration priorities are political, not scientific. Symbolic Cold War triumphs seemed to require manned exploration of space, even though robotic vehicles are cheaper and of more scientific value. (The Pathfinder mission to Mars cost far less than a single low-orbit launch of the space shuttle.) Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the American space station has become an international one (with the United States paying most of the bills), whose overt rationale is international cooperation and whose tacit goals are to support the U.S. aerospace industry and to prevent otherwise unemployed Russian space engineers from working for rogue nations.
Park opposed efforts to build a missile defense system based on an x-ray laser and played a role in creating the panel whose technical evaluation ended congressional support for that particular version of Star Wars. His analysis of Star Wars would be more convincing if he had restrained his impulse to destroy Edward Teller's credibility as a physicist. Teller was ultimately responsible for labeling J. Robert Oppenheimer ("father of the atomic bomb") a security risk. "Many physicists [Park clearly includes himself] never forgave Teller for . . . his betrayal of a talented and honorable colleague." But Teller was right and Oppenheimer was wrong about the technical feasibility and strategic necessity of building a fusion bomb before Stalin. Yet Park credits Teller with an "almost unblemished record of technical failure." If Teller could be right about the need to build a fusion bomb, even though it was Stanislaw Ulam's conception, not Teller's, that proved viable, why couldn't Teller be right about missile defense, even though wrong about the specifics?—Malcolm J.

College Park, MD (Sept. 8) --- Magnet therapy--it's a billion dollar business worldwide. Companies are selling magnets that promise to relieve chronic pain ... on the golf course, at home, in the gym. A 1997 double-blind study at the Baylor College of Medicine concluded that magnets reduced pain in post-polio patients. But in today's Washington Post, a University of Maryland physics professor casts doubts on magnet therapy--with some simple experiments you can try at home.
Reporting that the Baylor results have not been duplicated or confirmed by researchers elsewhere, University of Maryland physics professor Robert Park has also found no plausible explanation for how magnets could relieve pain. Park, who is also a consultant to the American Physical Society, says that explanations currently being offered are false. Here are some highlights from the article:
Park warns that magnet therapy can pose a risk to people who ignore conventional medical treatment in favor of it. "Magnet therapy may not seem like a big deal," Park writes. "Magnets generally cost less than a visit to the doctor and they certainly do no harm. But magnet therapy can be dangerous if it leads people to forego needed medical treatment."

Arrhythmias have many causes. Chronic conditions may gradually damage the heart's structure or electrical system over a period of years while a
heart attack, may cause sudden, urgent rhythm disturbances. Prevention of arrhythmias is mostly a matter of keeping your heart healthy and preventing recurrent rhythm disturbances. Many risk factors can be managed or changed. The more risk factors you control, the more you reduce your risk.
There are a few measures that specifically influence your risk of arrhythmias.
Stress may raise your risk of arrhythmias if you have predisposing factors. Stress or anxiety can quickly increase your blood pressure and heart rate. Chronic stress can compound these problems. If you cannot eliminate stress from your life, you can take steps to manage it. You may want to try some of the following techniques:
Ask your doctor or pharmacist what effect your medications will have on your heart rhythm. If you are predisposed to arrhythmias, ask about substitutes for the medications that can precipitate an abnormal rhythm. Be particularly wary of:
Avoid illegal drugs, especially cocaine, methedrine, and other amphetamines. These drugs increase your heart rate, which can lead to heart damage and arrhythmias.
Maintaining a healthy heart will reduce your chance of developing arrhythmias. There are steps you can take to keep your heart healthy and strong:

This is the first picture I can remember seeing since Leelee Sobieski had her baby. She looks good. Except for the hiking boots.
I think Miley Cyrus still can't believe someone paid her to be in a movie for her acting while Greg Kinnear keeps saying to himself, "the check was really big. The check was really big."
Liam Hensworth and his brother Chris.
It's hard to believe this group of people is actually related to each other. And will someone for the love of God walk up to Billy Ray Cyrus with some tweezers and yank each one of those f**king hairs out of his chin.
Russell Brand on his way in to a Victoria's Secret party. Yeah, I can hear the clock striking midnight on that Katy Perry thing.
Apparently in Spain when the basketball season starts you find a player and surround him with Woody Woodpecker and a mariachi band.
Susan Boyle's new house.
The legendary Steve Earle and the equally amazing Allison Moorer.
I almost made this the top photo because I like Tim Blake Nelson so much. It was Keri Russel's mohawk that ruined it for Tim & Ed.
Is it me or does Tobey Maguire look different than he did before?

Nice, spacious and quite "little house" as Jean-Charles calls it.
Anne and Jean-Charles are very communicative, informative and friendly. Jean-Charles gave us a list of markets in the area and recommended the best transportation to use.
We spent 7 joyful days in the little house.
George & Susann
Lovely lovely hosts and a delightful cottage! We are definitely returning! My eleven year old was especially taken with the loft bed and I loved the art and ambience of this little abode. We were very pleased. A great location!
As mentionend in other Reviews: Beatiful House, good location in Paris, very clean, friendly Hosts - perfect, thank you very much
Huset ligger lugnt på en mysig liten innergård. Gatan utanför, rue Dénoyez, är en häftig gata med Paris enda legaliserade graffittivägg!
Jag trivdes väldigt bra i huset och sov gott om nätterna. Jag är jättenöjd med min vistelse och värdparet var väldigt snälla och gästvänliga. De var bortresta under största tiden när jag var där, så jag fick tyvärr inte se dem så mycket. Men de mailade mig och undrade hur jag hade det och hjälpte mig att via deras son få igång wifi som hade kopplat ur. Så de är verkligen superhjälpsamma och gulliga.
Jag rekommenderar det lilla huset varmt!
La maison est calme dans une petite cour confortable . La rue devant la rue Dénoyez , est une rue cool avec Paris légalisé mur de graffiti !
J'ai beaucoup aimé dans la maison et bien dormi la nuit . Je suis très satisfait de mon séjour et les hôtes étaient très gentils et accueillants . Ils étaient partis pour la plupart du temps , quand j'étais là, donc je n'ai malheureusement ne voient pas tellement. Mais ils m'ont envoyé et demandé comment j'étais et m'ont aidé à travers leur fils de mise en route wifi qui avait été débranché . Donc, ils sont vraiment super gentil et mignon . Je recommande la petite maison au chaud!
The house is quiet in a cozy little courtyard. The street outside Rue Dénoyez , is a cool street with Paris only legalized graffiti wall!
I liked very much in the house and slept well at night . I 'm very happy with my stay and the hosts were very kind and hospitable. They were away for most the time when I was there , so I unfortunately did not see them so much . But they emailed me and asked how I was and helped me through their son started getting wifi that had been disconnected . So they are really super helpful and cute . I recommend the small house warm!
My stay at the little house could not have been any better. Location,size, piano (being a musician) kindness and warmth my host & hostess extended to me I will remember forever. This is my first experience with Wimdu and it has been a wonderful experience. All of my 9 week trip in France was booked thru Air B&B because I was unaware of what a great service Wimdu provides. I saved the best for last. Thank you Anne, Jean-Charles and Wimdu.
What a pleasure to stay in such a beautiful house in the middle of Belleville. We were greeted by the owners son who speaks English very well and was extremely accommodating. The house is small but charming. This is going to be our steady address in Paris!
This was the perfect place to stay for our short break to Paris! The house was as cute as it can possibly get, conveniently located just a 2-3min walk from the metro station providing fast transfer to the city centre or Gare du Nord. The owners were charming, quick in communication, friendly and helpful as well.
I'm so glad we chose this accommodation. Much better than any hotel could offer at a comparable price. If you're hesitating to book this cute house, don't! It's well worth it.
Merci beaucoup, Anne et Jean-Charles! Overall, a grand experience!
We enjoyed it a lot. It was fantastic. The weather was perfect and Belleville took us by surprice. And we enjoyed staying in the little house. And yes it was allso good to se my friend in Paris.
Yes I hope we'll come back. And sure, I can recomend your place...

Heil AMT Prototypes? Anyone ever seen anything like these units?
I recently picked these up from a local craigslist ad. Paid more than I should have for them, considering the diaphragms are pretty much destroyed. But I couldn't pass them by because I've never seen an AMT that looks anything like these, (and I've seen many AMTs, considering they've been my favorite toy for three decades!)
The man I purchased these from had little information. He'd got them in a bulk purchase of speaker parts. He previously had never seen an AMT, and was suprised to find out they were so unusual. The man he purchased them from told him they were early prototypes built by Dr. Oskar Heil. Also, they had served for years as part of the sound system that toured with the Greatful Dead. (Who knows if there is any truth in this, but it does make for a nice story.)
Each unit is aprox. 4"Hx 8"Wx4"D, and weighs aprox. 20-25lbs. The massive "U" magnets appear to be Alnico. The U mags attach to very deep V-shaped focus plates that form the gap. The Focus plates also serve to hold the diaphragm in place, with a little help from the good ol' blue ESS putty-goop (Though in these, someone had used gobs of some horrid black gunk that had long since turned hard as a rock....Maybe ESS didn't have the blu goop yet).
The diaphragms that were in these, the poor things, we're almost certainly early ESS....They were/are totally undamped (no little fish net glued on), have the blue and purple lead wires and the original ESS production circuit pattern. However there are subtle differences that I have never seen before. Still, I'd bet that they are one of the early AMT 1 diaphragms, which changed design several times, mid-run, as the good people at ESS worked out the bugs. They also are obviously not the diaphragms originally intended for these units, as they are 3/4" taller than the magnetic gap.This unfortunate detail has led to their destruction... Seems poor handling devistated the exposed areas, even ripping off one of the lead wires.
Oddly enough, one of the diaphragms still worked, at least at the time when the man selling them to me insisted on showing that one did indeed work. (He hooked it straight to his amp, no crossover) It sounded quite good, even in it's tragic state....As a matter of fact, it sounded amazing.
When I got the diaphragms out, I was suprised to see that there was none of the "twisty-wear" you'd expect to see on a well used (or even moderately used) undamped diaphragm. This is odd. Especially if you consider they were suspposedly used in pro-sound reinforcement for many years! I suspect the gap flux density may be unusually high ( given that Alnico, oz. per oz, is around 3x stronger than ceramic magnets), but I have no device to measure the magnetic flux at the moment.. If the gap strength is greater than other AMTs, this extra Bh may have something to do with the lack of wear on the diaphragms. Perhaps it even explains the almost hypnotic sound I briefly experienced during the sellers percarious demo. That, or it could just be the golden sonic signature of Alnico V. (Could also have been no-crossover thing).
For now, they sit silent, as I wait for the universe to lead me to diaphragms at a reasonable price. I could canibalize a couple of my other Heils, but I don't want to risk it as diaphragms are so very hard to come by these days, at any price. (Thanks a lot Audio Int'l! To think I was originally excited to hear you'd aquired ESS.). I just might be able to repair the diaphragms that came with them....I've managed to bring back ones that were nearly as badly damaged. (Hmmm...How sadly desperate that sounds...Oh well, I was lucky enough to grow up down the street from ESS, so they've been a wonderful part of my life almost as far back as I can remember. Now some German kid will get to have the same great experience I did...Provided he's filthy ritch!)
Meantime I'm wondering just what I have here...An early AMT made by or for another brand? A custom order for a rather ecentric rock band? A pro-sound product? A DIY Project? Or a real honest-to-goodness Heil AMT prototype, actually touched by Dr. Heil himself! (Oohh...the goose bumps!). Never mind if Jerry Garcia had his mits on them.
So...If anyone has ever seen these, knows anything about them, or can just venture a good guess as to their origins, I'd love to hear from you.

Hi Matt28sr - you might try these guys for replacement ESS AMT diaphragms: http://www.simplyspeakers.com/12diaphragms.htm (Look about 2/3 down the page.) They are listing two types and one is a bit shorter than the other. You could email Nelson Pass at Pass Labs as he worked with the good Doctor H while at ESS. You can also email him her at diyAudio as he often visits and offers kind words of wisdom and advice. (Look him up on the Pass Labs Forum) If those are early prototypes of an Heil AMT I would think that he might be interested just for S&G's
As to this device being used by the "Dead" - John Curl - who also wonders into these forums - might know. I went to quite a few Dead concerts and my buddy and I were both very much into the tech that went into the "Wall of Sound" (we worked club PA's) and I don't recall seeing anything like this device sitting around. Take a look at http://dozin.com/wallofsound/ for a diagram of the stage and PA layout.
To me they look like someone's attempt to DIY a set of AMT's - but heck - you never know.
DIY audio can be expensive but getting to see things go up in smoke - that's priceless!!!! ..... "whatever - call it brainfart of Mighty ZM"

Are they AMTs or just Ribbons?
Big **** horseshoe magnets there!
How do they open up??
Is that WELDING I see on them??
Clearly homebrew... imho.

Hey c2cthomas and bear..... Thanks for the input!....The contact information is especially great....I'll follow those leads and report back what, if anything, comes of it.
To answer bears questions: They are pleated diaphragm AMTs, not flat ribbons. They don't open up (I suspose you could pull the magnets from the focus plates, but it'd be a hell-of-an ordeal to do so). The diaphragms simply slide into place like all ESS Heils. (One of the magnets was appearanltly removed, or worse, knocked out of place at some time, and it is out of exact alignment with the focus plate. You can see this in the close up photo. I'm researching on how best to correct this.)
The stuff you see that looks like welding is the "horrid black gunk" that I refered to before. Actually, once I got all that off, the fit and finish is a little better than early production ESS AMT's, which had chipped magnet edges, so-so focus plate machining quality and all kinds of DIY looking variations of ways they tried to hold the diaphragm firmly in place....(As time went on they did get a better fit and finish, but, once you get them apart, the F&F was never all that percision. I once read, that because of the way they worked, super high manufacturing tolerances were unnecessary as the electrical signal across the opposing pleats of the diaphragm forced it into perfect alignment.)
Anyway I'm inclined to agree with your DIY conclusion. But there are a couple of clues that still make me wonder:
It's a little different than any DIY design I've ever seen. Specifically, the "slide in diaphragm space", and the way it holds the diaphragm into place, or actually dosen't hold the diaphragm into place. You'd think that anyone technically sophisticated enough to design and make something like this would go to the trouble of including a system to hold the diaphragm. The only way this exclusion makes much sense is if you were considering the ease and economics of mass production, or that you weren't quite sure what the diaphragm was ultimatly going to look like.
Another oddity is the focus plates themselves. At their narrowest point, they are more than 1" deep, not at all an ideal (or even reasonable) way to let the sound radiate from the diaphragm. From looking at the AMT 1, it's obvious that Dr. Heil went to extrordinary trouble to open up the radiating space for the diaphragm. If a DIYer was using an AMT 1 as a design example, this is quite a deviation from it. Again, the only way this design makes much sense is if the designer was just trying to get the damn thing to work right in the first place.
Finally consider the use of Alnico, by the mid/late 60's it was fast becoming economically impractical for use in mass production loudspeakers. But back up just a bit on the timeline and it was the magnetic material of choice for audio. That might just place it around the time Dr. Heil was most likely first tinkering with the AMT idea.
I once saw a late prototype AMT built by Dr. Heil. Though it looked very much like a taller version of the first production ESS AMTs, it was very home-made looking. He used huge nuts and bolts of different lengths to hold it all together, and didn't bother to trim the excess that stuck out 2 or 3 inches above the unit. Compared to that, these AMT's look pretty sophisticated.
So we have a bit of a mystery here, and I do love a good mystery. Let's see if Mr. Pass can shine some light on the matter. Or anyone else. I plan to attempt to contact Mr. Pass in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!
Again, thanks so much for your input guys.

Looks an awful lot like an old Litton magnatron.
The folks at Heil, would have likely know the folks at Litton's Grass Valley Group.

Hi janneman
I think we are a lot here that would love to read that article.
If it's that old I think you can just post it here. Otherwise a mail would be super
Looking farward to that.
Thanks in advance and best regards Baldin

I've got a pdf scan of the article, although it is a bit hard to read because of the amount of bleed-through from the opposing pages. The article appeared in the 2/77 issue. There was a follow-up letter in the 4/79 issue that described how to etch the diaphragm, and this method is MUCH easier, especially if you apply more modern etch resist methods.

Historic neighborhood braces for change as downtown redevelopment moves forward
EL PASO, Texas - Some believe proposed downtown development, including a baseball park, an arena and private investment will bring revitalization to Sunset Heights, one of El Paso's oldest neighborhoods.
Others think the Downtown growth will price out individuals who currently live in the neighborhood that's walking distance from downtown.
"My husband and I both felt that Sunset Heights was the next neighborhood you were really going to start to see revitalized with the trolleys and the baseball park and the city working toward creating these amazing master plan projects with walkable neighborhoods and communities, we felt that this is the neighborhood where we wanted to be and have our children exposed to the amenities around them - the museums the libraries, the baseball stadium, UTEP," said Angelica Talavera.
She and her husband bought a home in Sunset in the summer knowing it would soon be one of the most coveted neighborhoods in the city.
Talavera, who along with her husband started a grassroots organization to advocate for the passage of the Quality of Life Bond and the baseball stadium Downtown, said she can't wait to walk to the ballpark with her family. "How exciting that'll be, to be able to walk there, especially for the opening game," she said.
The young mother said she's seen how diverse and walkable Sunset Heights is.
"There's a young resurgence of art and music in young El Pasoans in the 20-something age group, and then you have families with children. And then you have young professionals, single, living in the neighborhood; students going to UTEP living in the neighborhood and I think that's what gives it its character; it's that it's a mixture of different representations of El Paso. That's what makes a community and that's what you want to see," Talavera said.
A UTEP student who rents an apartment in Sunset Heights said he's concerned nearby Downtown development will increase property taxes and raise his rent.
"Humble students like me couldn't stay here that much longer because bigger people with bigger pockets would be here enjoying Sunset Heights," said Manuel Bolardi.
A young professional who walks from her home in Sunset Heights to her job Downtown said she wishes there would be more things to do downtown and wants some of the private development but is concerned on the toll it will bring to her neighborhood.
"I wouldn't want people to be pushed out by gentrification or by rents going up because of the ballpark. I'm kind of divided. I'd like nothing to change but everything to get better," said Amelia Furrow.
Talavera believes development will, in the long run, benefit all El Pasoans, including those living in Sunset Heights.
"I see kind of the big picture. You're hoping that with those quality of life initiatives, you're bringing in industry and you're bringing in industry that can afford to pay people livable wages. And so if you see that price increase in rent, you want to see that increase in livable wages, in being able to pay people competitive salaries and not losing those folks to Austin or San Antonio or Dallas. I can see that happening - property values certainly going up - which I think is always good for a neighborhood, however with the city constantly working to increase quality of life initiatives and industry - you're going to see a redistribution of the tax base," she said.

Rep. Steve Drazkowski's said on the House floor today that he knew of elections officials that were already asking voters for photo ID. That got us wondering how extensive the practice already was, even before the Legislature and Governor pass a law or put the issue on the 2012 ballot. Here's what the Mazeppa Republican had to say:
Q: Where are election officials asking for ID from voters?
A: I'm not going to give you an idea where. I've just heard from folks that say in their particular precincts where they are election judges, they're asking for it.
Q: Is it a lot? Few?
A: It's hard to tell. More than one that I've talked to, but certainly not widespread as far as I can tell. But its an indicator of, you know, people wanting to bring foreward the certainty, the uniformity and the trust of a system. And they're adopting it, at least part of it, prior to us actually passing it.
Q: Is that OK?
A: It may not be legal, what they're doing. I don't know. Or it may be. I don't think they're requiring it. But I'm really not sure.
Q: Your county? Wabasha County?
A: No.

Washington, D.C. - When asked to choose who they prefer to see for their medical care, Americans overwhelmingly want a
physician (72%) over a nurse practitioner (7%), while roughly a fifth (21%) either has no preference
(16%) or doesn't know (5%), according to a new survey of 1,000 adults and an oversample of 320
opinion leaders (for a survey total of 363 opinion leaders) conducted on behalf of the American Academy
of Family Physicians. In addition, 73% of adults and 84% of opinion leaders prefer to take a loved one to
a physician over a nurse practitioner.
Americans' preference to see or take a loved one to see a physician is reflected in their current medical
choices. More than seven in ten Americans (71%) currently see a physician for their main medical care,
and three quarters (75%) take a child or loved one to a physician for their main medical care.
Perceptions of Physicians, Family Physicians
When asked what characteristics are most important in the health professional people see for their main
medical needs, 'knowledgeable' (37%), 'up to date when it comes to the latest medical advances and
treatments' (29%), 'experienced' and 'someone you can trust (both 27%) rank highest.
Furthermore, when asked to assign a list of 19 characteristics to physicians, family physicians, nurses, and
nurse practitioners, a majority assigned 15 of the 19 characteristics to physicians and family physicians
(together), including the ones respondents say are most important in the health professional they see for
their main medical needs: physicians lead on 'knowledgeable' (77%), 'up to date on medical treatments'
(80%), 'experienced' (77%), and 'someone you trust' (72%).
(Click to enlarge image)
When asked about the 'core' medical team that would oversee and confer about what is best in terms of
an individual's medical needs, Americans' first choice is a primary care physician (41%), followed by a
physician (24%). In total, 88% choose a physician of some kind as their first choice, and nine out of ten
Americans (90%) prefer to have a physician lead their medical team.
These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) from
November 8-15, 2013. For the survey, a sample of 1,000 US adults 18+ was interviewed online, as well as a
'booster' sample of 320 Opinion Leaders (defined below) for a survey total of 363 Opinion Leaders (43 occurred
naturally in the core sample of 1,000 US adults 18+). The precision of the Ipsos' online polls are measured using
credibility intervals. In this case, the credibility interval for all adults is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The
credibility interval for Opinion Leaders is +5.9. For more information about credibility intervals, please see the
appendix. For this survey, Opinion Leaders are defined as individuals who are registered to vote; have at least a
college degree; are over age 25; are employed or looking for work; make more than $75,000 annually unless they
are between the ages of 25 and 29, who are heavy news consumers, and who are politically engaged.
The national sample of 1,000 was weighted by gender, age, region, ethnicity, education, and party identification.

Raonic intends to apologize to del Potro for net controversy
MASON, Ohio -- Milos Raonic says he regrets his decision not to own up to touching the net during his controversial win over Juan Martin del Potro at last week's Rogers Cup, and intends to apologize to del Potro when he sees him this week at the Western & Southern Open.
Late in the second set of their competitive third round match in Montreal, Raonic ran forward to cover a short ball and clearly touched the net with his foot, which should have cost him the point. The umpire missed the call and, despite Del Potro's appeal, refused to overrule himself even after seeing the replay on the big screen. Del Potro didn't win another point for the rest of the match, losing 7-5, 6-4.
"Very upset after the match I lost," Del Potro tweeted after the loss. "About the end... I think everybody saw what happened."
Raonic initially defended his decision not to concede the point even though he knew he touched the net. "It's a big point," Raonic said last week. "If you can put somebody in the situation being down breakpoint, same thing happens, do you call it on yourself?" When a reporter told him it should have been Del Potro's point, Raonic again refused to concede. "Hypothetically yes, technically no," he said.
Now that he's had time to reflect on the incident, Raonic admits he was wrong. "I feel like I made a mistake in the spur of the moment, something, I guess, because I hadn't been faced with it before," Raonic said in a pre-tournament interview. "I'm disappointed with myself, how I dealt with it, and it's something I learned a lot from. I really didn't have the opportunity until really the last two days to think about it that much. It's something that I feel sorry about and something I want to apologize to Juan when I see him here. I don't think I dealt with that the right way, and I think it's something that I probably should have in that situation, and probably in the future, call on myself."
