Excellent Monitors
Very happy with this purchase. These MR8mk2 monitors are big, punchy, and sound great in our studio.
Very happy with this purchase. These MR8mk2 monitors are big, punchy, and sound great in our studio.
My only complaint is the low end frequency filter is pushed in on 1 monitor, but since it is set on normal, I haven't tried to fix it, since the monitor itself is working. When I get time I may try to fix it. That is why I deducted 1 point. Big sound for the price.
MY 1st pair of Mackie Monitors since I heard their Original HR824 in the 90's.... via the Track " Shadows : Apache " . These Mk2 has a very strong bass presence...via near-field in my bedroom. The Mid range seems to be overpower by the lower frequency .My settings was 0 for the Low Feq. filter. I haven't tried them on my Mopads yet..... My Mk2 are place on Soundking stands via spikes at the base on a Rug. I'm playing back at maybe only 20% on its Amp Power... I always use Pop Tracks to test its Playback color " Michael Bolton / Agnez Monica : Said I love you But I Lied ".... Warm Vocals on these Mk2. When you do try to Mixed your DAW tracks it can be Heavy on Bass... I suggest trying to play a normal Cd track without Eq via itunes to detect its Feq. color. Pop tracks with Vocals would be good, The fine details in Highs are clear though the mid range seems laid back when low & high strings are playback.... " Depeche Mode : Home ". The Mk2 are maybe better off as mid-field monitors or wider bedroom studios... Perhaps your Ears are your Best Judge! Cheers.
My Event 20/20 bas finally failed after 15 years use.
I had tried a pair of M-Audio BX5a Deluxe, but one of them died after only 3 days use.
I already had a bad experience with the standard BX5as and the new version of the Event 20/20 bas are up near the FOCAL CMS50s price. I could not justify this cost for my simple project studio. I took a gamble on the Mackie Mr8 mkIIs.
I have used Mackie Mixers etc, and these Monitors are not only of the same excellent quality that I have come to expect from Mackie, but they are also of a true reference quality (Very Flat and True). A big sweet spot! If Focals are out of your price range. These are a great alternative in my opinion.
for the monitors 10/10 for the costumer service 10/10 it was a plesure dial with u guys what i can only do 4 you is recomend this good service to my friends
Just picked up the MR8mk2's to replace my KRK's and had no idea what to expect! Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised with the Mackie's.
I use several high-end monitors in my studio as I like to listen on different speakers to my mixes & masters. My main mixing monitors are my Genelec' 1030's with sub and they are amazing monitors but I have to say the Mackie's come darn close.
This is a huge statement coming form a die hard Genelec guy like me. The Mackie's might not be quite as detailed as the Genelec's but the highs, mids, and lows are crisp, tight, punchy and clean.
Another thing is the incredible powerful / full sound that comes from these monitors blows me away! Amazing for the price.
I would give them a 5 if the ports were in the front so they get a very positive 4.5 from me.
YES, boring in its excellence, as in: Mackies quality NEVER changes. There's never any variance from "spot on". I had a specific purpose for these speakers, not what you'd think. We are going to use them to display our newest Organ, the SK1 at the NAMM show, where you cannot play loud. Our high-power Leslies made for the stage tend to get me in trouble with the floor managers!! The Mackies develop a full spectrum of sound at a close range without the need for high volume. They are doing EXACTLY what I ask of them, and are doing it perfectly. And thanks to Kevin Scott, "my guy" at Sweetwater for recommending them after I told him what I was looking for!

"He's tattooed, mustached, and sincere." – Flagstaff Live
For seven years running, decker. has been recording and performing some of the most vital music to be released from America's Southwest. The music is clearly drawn from the land itself—all that is at once comforting, eerie, haunting, healing, harsh and beautiful. He carves something unique out of the essence he grasps in his red rock home of Sedona, Arizona—a land of red clay mountains and vortexes. The music takes on a spiritual mantle, a deeper, ancient calling rooted to the land itself, tapping into the mysticism of old, weird America, divining its power, resurrecting what he sees fit and crafting it into musical odysseys of treachery, redemption, enlightenment and tenacity.
While seemingly possessed by his desert dwellings, decker. has approached his music with a blue-collar ethic, pressing himself to perform 150 shows a year and self-releasing six studio records in the last seven years. The songwriter has been either recording an album or touring in support of one since the fall of 2009 with relentless vigor—surviving a 2012 van rollover on tour, raising a young son and maintaining a relentless show schedule. The 2014 release, Patsy saw decker. make a hardy push to spread his desert lore, touring the U.S. three times over with all the fervor, he says, "of a drowning man." Magnet raved, "[Decker] bursts with emotion at every edge," while No Depression declared, "[Decker] combines dark mystic lyrics and off-kilter attitude with taut musicianship and psychedelic romanticism.
With barely a pause to reflect, Decker returned home and wrote what would become his 6th studio album, Snake River Blues, set for release September 23. Inspired by legendary psychedelic blues classics like Muddy Waters' Electric Mud and Chuck Berry's San Francisco Dues, Snake River Blues is comprised by tales of treachery and conquest, in blues archetypes viewed through decker.'s unique lens. The album signifies growth, while also a departure from his more acoustic and methodic efforts. It harnesses an American desperation, while being simultaneously rife with audacious confidence, grit and focus. Self-described as "psychedelic desert folk," Snake River Blues is altogether decker.'s tightest and most succinct effort to date.
The album is set for a September 23 release as decker. heads east to commemorate the release with a one-month residency at New York City's Rockwood Music Hall.

Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by leftybuff, Jul 9, 2008.
meh - much ado about nothing if you ask me. Both teams will have to play on the same field. BO was talking about having some kind of rally at Folsom anyway, so it's not like Folsom will be immune to the chaos either.
Think you'll feel the same way when we lose a key player to a season-ending injury due to stepping in some pothole on the field?
I hope they take some good precautions to protect the field, or better yet, make them fill the stands and keep the idots off the field.
Puh-lease. :huh:
There won't be any potholes on the field. They will cover it with a temp floor and it will be fine. This is making a mountain out of a molehill. They have concerts at the stadium in the middle of football season and nobody says a thing, but when it's a political event - OH HEAVENS!!!
I'm more concerned with the stink left behind by O'Clinton and his minions. That's going to take weeks to wash away.
This one's great :lol::
The first time Woody used the diaphragm metaphor for Invesco many years ago was one of his best columns. Too funny.
Will believe it when I see it. So go Puh-lease yourself. :smile2:
i'd believe it. i am sure that the broncs are none too eager for season-ending injuries, either, owing to holes in the ground.
i would guess they have a hell of a lot more money riding on their sunday dates with invesco than the proposed gathering.
As part of the stadium deal being financed by the public, Invesco was supposed to be made available for Denver's useage for 38 days a year - GRATIS.
It's alway irked me that the Broncos charge 2 state schools, $500,000 for the use of Invesco for the Rocky Mountain Showdown instead of letting them use one of the free days required under the stadium financing arrangement. It's not like either school is swimming in money. And it's not like Bowlen paid for that stadium even though he gets all the parking and concession money from the game anyhow.
Would be nice if Bowlen would at least finance some scholarships with some of the money he extorts for this game.
Now if you tell me they are giving the Dems (wouldn't matter if it was the Repubs) free use of the stadium by using some of those 38 days, I'll lose it.....

Officer shot Saturday night recovering
SANFORD - A police officer is recovering after being shot while responding to a call.
Authorities say two officers were shot at around 11:30 p.m. Saturday in Sanford. One officer was hit in the thigh, the other was not hurt.
Two suspects were also shot. One of them is 19-year-old Darrell Hill, who authorities say has been charged with attempted murder. The name of the second suspect has not been released.

Also the Regional Commissioner of Police, Rashmi had issued notice to all the contractual employees in the ATI stating that their contracts will not be renewed. In a press statement, she justified her move saying that some of these contractual employees were on extension that was issued by the previous DG for some vested interest.
Relating the incident that took place on Wednesday, Parashivamurthy, a security guard at ATI, said that he saw 53 year olf Venkatesh coming to the office premises at 6 am. At around 8 am, he was seen moving toward the sump. When he did not return for several hours, the guard grew suspicious. When he probed, he found Venkatesh's sleepers floating in the sump.
Soon, the police and fire safetymen were called to the spot who pulled his body out after the sump was emptied. It was sent to K R Hospital for autopsy.
When Venkatesh's body arrived at the ATI premises at 3 pm, Rashmi went to pay her last respects but was not allowed to do so. Instead, she was slapped and assaulted by the victim's relatives. Some also pelted stones on her. One was trying to hit her with a slipper when the security personnel shielded her. Police personnel from the Nazarabad police station arrived at the spot and handled the situation.
Ironically, Rashmi is reported to have lodged a complaint with the police after she started getting threat calls. Though a tense situation had prevailed on the ATI premises following the employee's death, enough police personnel were not deputed," she said.
Manjula, the wife of Venkatesh said that her husband was a victim of differences between the former ATI DG Amita Prasad and Rashmi.
Awaiting the autopsy report of the person, the Nazarabad police has registered a case of unnatural report as it was unlikely for a person to slip in a 2.5 feet to 2.5 feet sump. However, no suicide note has been found.

text: Over the Thanksgiving Holiday my father-in-law gave me a beautiful crossbow....it's LNIB and he tells me it has only been sighted in and then un-strung and re-boxed. The invoice is 4/24/81. The price was $333.60 so I assume this was a pretty good crossbow based on how well made it is as well as it's 1981 price. My daughter would like us to read up on the crossbow, practice and then deer hunt with it... Questions: Would this bow be usable as-is...the strings would be OK? The bow arm will still be good to use? We've put the string on this bow (a challenge for a novice...I now know why the call it the "bastard string") and hope with some learning and practice we can hunt. Assuming this bow is good to go...what is it's effective range for whitetail? We can hunt well within 50 yards if that's the cut-off. Any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated as we are at the very beginning of our learning curve. Thanks! Some pics... Bob

Weekly Market Report for Precious Metals: October 11th-17th
- Posted in: Precious Metals Reports
In this Weekly Market Report for Precious Metals, we see some downward movement in prices across the board, with gold making slight gains on Monday, October 17, 2016. Currently, speculation about when the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in the biggest short-term driver on gold prices. While silver is also sensitive to this speculation, platinum and palladium are not being affected at this time. Right now, investors are speculating that the Fed will raise rates by 0.25% in December, and that gold will reach $1400 per ounce by year's end. Investors are speculating that mining will actually come into play and be a longer-term influence. There has been downward pressure on mining company profits so far this year as mining supply has contracted. We are also seeing a few trends worldwide currently, including competitive devaluation of currencies outside the U.S., and inflationary trends developing in countries whose currencies are experiencing devaluation. Negative interest rates are also influencing money market funds.
Gold began the week at $1256.40 per ounce. By Thursday, it was up slightly to $1261.05. Friday saw a sharper decrease to $1251.75. On Monday, gold ended at $1254.80. More mining supply will lower the price of gold. Quarterly mining numbers are released with substantial lag; we will have preliminary numbers for the third quarter in December. The gold to silver ratio is at historic levels right now and it is not stable. Thirty years ago one ounce of gold bought about thirty ounces of silver. Now that number is closer to sixty-eight.
Silver started the week at $17.48 per ounce, and was up to $17.59 on Thursday. On Friday, it dropped down to $17.47. Silver remained down on Monday, ending at $17.40. Experts predict that if interest rates begin to rise it would be more favorable to silver. There will likely be some good investment opportunities coming up, during lows in silver prices.
Platinum began the week at $960.00 and was down to $935.00 at the end of Thursday. On Friday, it dropped again to $933.00. Monday it saw only a slight drop to end at $932.00. Platinum is currently feeling pressure from a drop in the value of the currency in South Africa, the top producer of the metal. The country is responsible for 73% of global annual supply. The good news for platinum is that there is no longer a significant threat of the miners going on strike.
Palladium started the week at $664.00 and was down to $642.00 on Friday. On Monday fell only slightly to end at $641.00. Palladium continues to struggle despite strong automotive sales in China and the United States. About 70% of overall palladium demand is from the automotive industry.

BALTIMORE -- Shortly after becoming the Baltimore Ravens' offensive coordinator, Gary Kubiak made this pronouncement: "As Ray Rice goes, we'll go." Two months later, Kubiak obviously has to make his first audible.
The Ravens need to take a running back in this year's draft, because they need insurance not only for this season but for the future. The best investment the Ravens could make in the middle rounds is to select a running back such as Towson's Terrance West, Washington's Bishop Sankey, Florida State's Devonta Freeman, Boston College's Andre Williams or West Virginia's Charles Sims.
Much of the talk at running back has centered on how much time Rice will miss in 2014, and it's a legitimate concern after he was indicted for third-degree aggravated assault after allegedly striking his now-wife unconscious. Rice was arrested and charged with simple assault-domestic violence Feb. 15 after a physical altercation with Janay Palmer at the Revel Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City, N.J. Even if Rice is found not guilty or avoids jail time, he is expected to face punishment from the NFL under the league's personal conduct policy.
The Ravens have repeatedly voiced their support for Rice, and owner Steve Bisciotti said he believes Rice has a future with the team. But the Ravens' front office is too shrewd to rest all of its hopes on Rice. No one knows what to expect out of Rice when he does line up in the Ravens' backfield. He is coming off a season in which he averaged a career-worst 3.1 yards per carry and produced more fumbles (two) than 20-yard runs (one).
The Ravens have done their part to help this offseason by re-signing left tackle Eugene Monroe and trading for center Jeremy Zuttah. Rice is working hard to rebound and has reportedly lost 15 pounds. What if this isn't enough? Bisciotti acknowledged at the end of the season that the team did bring up the question of whether Rice is done.
Numbers suggest Rice's days as a premier playmaker in the league are over. The wear and tear of the position has caught up to most of the running backs in the 2008 draft class. Of the top 10 backs taken that year, six averaged less than 4 yards per carry last season, and two are out of the league.
Those who defend Rice will say he lacked explosion after injuring his hip in Week 2 and he didn't have any running room because of the Ravens' dreadful offensive line. There is just no reasoning behind why Rice failed to make plays when catching the ball in space. He averaged 5.5 yards per reception, which was the worst of his career by an average of two yards. Since that memorable "Hey Diddle Diddle Ray Rice Up The Middle" moment in November 2012 -- when Rice converted a fourth-and-29 in San Diego with a 29-yard catch and run -- he has had three catches over 20 yards. That is over a span of 24 games, and only 13 of those came after Rice's injury.
Rice turned 27 this year, which is a telling age for NFL running backs. As ESPN's Kevin Seifert pointed out, running backs are peaking at 27 before suffering significant drop-offs. This is why 72 percent of running backs currently under contract are 26 or younger.
If Rice misses games or struggles again, the Ravens don't have much of a safety net. Backup running back Bernard Pierce's stock dropped last season. Pierce averaged 2.9 yards per carry, which was second-worst among qualified running backs, and couldn't stay healthy for a second straight year. He won't practice until the start of training camp after offseason shoulder surgery. There is no guarantee that he'll be at full strength when the season begins or whether he has the durability to handle the starting job for an extended period.
The need to draft a running back increased this offseason when the Ravens signed Justin Forsett in free agency instead of LeGarrette Blount as their third running back. Forsett has experience in Kubiak's system, but it's never a good sign to have "cut by the Jaguars" on your résumé.
It's no longer a question of if the Ravens should draft a running back. It's a matter of when. Most draft analysts have the Ravens selecting an offensive lineman and a safety in the first two rounds. The Ravens might consider using a pick on a running back in the third round, where they have two picks (79th and 99th overall), or fourth round (138th overall).
ESPN draft analyst Steve Muench's top picks in the middle rounds are:
West Virginia's Sims: "Doesn't have great power but sudden with quick feet and outstanding in the passing game."
Boston College's Williams: "Minimal production in passing game, and to a lesser degree, injury history, are concerns. As a runner he's a battering ram, and he shows deceptive speed when he gets a seam."
Towson's West: "He's a tough, hard-nosed runner who has flown under radar at Towson, and it would be a great story if he ended up staying in Maryland. If they can get him late fourth he could prove to be a steal."
Running the ball has long been a foundation of the Ravens' offense, and it will be a big part of Kubiak's play calling. Over the past five seasons, only five other teams ran the ball more than Kubiak's Texans. Establishing a strong running game is his blueprint to set up the play-action pass.
The importance of a running back in Kubiak's offense can't be overstated. That is why the Ravens have to make it a priority to draft a running back this year, whether it's for a contingency plan in 2014 or an investment for the future.
No one expected the Ravens to take a running back in 2008, when they drafted Rice in the second round. Six years later, it would be a surprise if the Ravens didn't draft his potential successor.

(Cl. B -408) invention relates to pressure sensing devices and more particularly to a pressure sensing device with a pressure sensing elementindirectcontact with the pressure fluid being measured.
Measurement of the pressure of process material at high pressures and temperatures, that is, at or above -2'500 p.s.i-. and 300 C., is diflicult to accomplish accurately because of the problem of providing adequate means, capable of withstanding such elevated pressures and temperatures, for carrying pressure sensings from thefprocess material to remote locations to operate suitable transmitters, indicators or control apparatus. Fluid filled tubes disposed to project into the vessel containing the process material have been used for this purpose in the'past, thefluidserving to sense and conduct pressure signals to remote, apparatus. However, such tubes tend to restrict flow of moving process material and, further, have inherentinaccuracies. resulting from expansion and contraction of the fluid under .high .temperatur'ercondi tions. 1
A general object of our invention is the provision of a flush diaphragm pressure sensing device which elimidates the need for auxiliary pressure lines intermediate theprocess fluid being measured and the instrument or mechanism which functions in response to the measured pressure. Another object is the provision of a completely mechanical frictionless pressure sensing device having no transmission lags. A further object is the provision of a self-contained flush diaphragm pressure sensing device which is easy to install-on the vessel ;or conduit con'taining the ,process fluid and which is .easily modified for different pressure ranges.
Another object is the provision of a pressur'e'sensing' de'sfi'ce with a measuring diaphragm and direct contact with the process fluid being measured, the sensin'gs. .of
e diaphragm being carried by mechanical means from the" hragm to allocation remote from the pressure vesseiroi actuatinga .rnechanism which functions in response to the measured pressure. A morespecificobj'e'ct is-the rovision of novel means for securing a diaphragm on the end of a tube. A furtherobject is-theiprovision of accurate .pressure sensing device for measuring pressure ofhig'h temperature'fluids such as molten metal, which is economical to construct and to maintain. These and otherobjectsof our invention will become apparent from the fol-lowing description of a preferred embodiment thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

I
Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view of the measuring end of the probe rod and easing of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a greatly enlarged fragmentary section of the diaphragm connection at the end of the probe casing.
Figure 6 is a section similar to Figure 4 showing a modified form of probe end construction.
- Figure 7 is a section showing a modified diaphragm construction.
vIn the practice of our invention, the pressure sensing device has a rigid probe mounted on the wall of a vessel, such as a conduit, in which the high temperature process material whose pressure is to be measured, is contained, the probe extending through the vessel wall and terminating flush with the interior of the vessel. A pressure measuring or sensing diaphragm mounted on the inner flush end of the rigid probe makes direct contact with the process material and detects pressure and changes in pressure of the material. A probe rod is disposed axially within the probe casing, one end of the rod engaging the diaphragm. The opposite end of the rod is pivotally connected by frictionless pivots to a link which actuates suitable pressure transmitting, indicating.
recording and/or controlling apparatus. The sensing diaphragm thus directly contacts the process material, senses pressure of the material and transmits the pressure sensings mechanically as force signals by the rod and associated linkage to remotely located apparatus which operates inresponse to those signals.
Referring now to the drawings, a preferred embodiment of our invention is shown in Figure l as a probe generally indicated at '10 which is mounted on a conduit 12 through which a process material, such as a polymer, asphalt, slurry, viscous fluid or molten metal is carried. A mounting adapter 14 having a well 15, see Figure 2, in alignment with an opening 16 in the conduit is welded to the outside of the conduit and the probe 10 is secured by integral flange '17 and screws 18' and nuts 18' to the top of the adapter and'extends into the well and conduit opening. Jack-screws 19 threaded into the flange and engaging the top of the adapter facilitate removal of the entire probe from the adapter Well and conduit opening for inspection and maintenance or for modification of the probe for measurement of different pressure ranges.
The upper end of the probe, as viewed in Figure .1, joins a linkage housing 20 which may be connected opposite the. probe by bolts 21 to an enclosure 22 containing, for example, mechanism for amplifying and converting pressure signals generated by the probe in response toprocess-material pressure into electrical signals which are carried by electric output leads 23 to suitable pressure indicating, recording and/or controlling apparatus, not shown. Amplifying and conversion mechanism of the type described and claimed in Schweitzer application Serial No. 376,931 filed August '27., 1953, now abarn doned, may be used for this purpose.
The probe .10 comprises a preferably thick walled casing :or tube 25, see Figure 2, having -a central longitudinal bore 26 extending from end to end of the casing. The lower end of probe casing 25, as viewed in the drawing, comprises .an open ended cap 30, see also Figure 4, removably connected as by threads 31 to the end of the mainbody of the casing and extending downwardly therefrom. The cap 30 has an annular external shoulderfiz which engages a gasket 33 supported on a corresponding shoulder 34 in the wall of the conduit for sealing the connection "of the probe in the bottom of the adapter well 15 when the transmitter is assembled. The lower end of the cap 3'0'eXtends into the-conduit opening "16" with its end face 36 flush with the interior surface 37 of the conduit.
In order to sense pressure of the material in the conduit, a measuring diaphragm 38 is connected across the inner flush face 36 of the cap. The diaphragm is formed from suitable material capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, pressures and corrosive characteristics of the process material to which the diaphragm is exposed, and we have found relatively thin metallic diaphragms in the order of .001" to .005 thick and made of stainless steel, Inconel, and the like have given satisfactory results. Diaphragm 38 is generally disk-like in form and is shaped with a concavo-convex annulus 39 between flat central and outer portions 40, 41, respectively.
In order to secure the diaphragm to the end of cap 30, an annular groove 43, see Figure 5, is formed preferably centrally, in cap end face 36. Groove 43 is defined by a cylindrical inner wall surface 45, a bottom surface 46 and an outer wall surface 47 which is cylindrical adjacent the bottom surface 46 and outwardly tapered or bevelled at the outer lip 47a of the groove. The marginal edge portion 41a of the diaphragm is bent around the inner rounded lip 49 of the groove and extends along groove surface 45 for a substantial portion of the depth of the groove. A retainer ring 50 preferably made of the same material as the diaphragm and having a mean diameter equal to the mean diameter of the groove is forced into the groove and tightly presses the marginal lip 41a of the diaphragm against the inner groove surface 45 to securely hold the diaphragm in place.
The diarnetric thickness of ring 50 preferably is the same as the width of groove 43 and when forced into the groove over the marginal portion of the diaphragm, squeezes the latter with considerable lateral force against the side of the groove, the force exerted being of an order of magnitude to cause the diaphragm to be positively frictionally bonded in tight metal to metal contact with the inner surface of the cap groove. The depth of the groove preferably is slightly larger than the dia metric thickness of the retaining ring, and we have found that the ring can be pressed into the groove with modest force to effect a tight clamping action on the marginal portion of the diaphragm in the groove capable of holding the diaphragm in place throughout the range of pressures for which the diaphragm is designed. The bevelled outer lip 47a of the groove relieves the lateral force developed by the ring 50 as it initially enters the groove and prevents shearing of the diaphragm at the inner lip of the groove. In practice we have found that a retaining ring formed of .031 diameter hard temper wire satisfactorily secures a diaphragm .002" thick in a groove .031" in width and .032" deep.
The central portion 40 of measuring diaphragm 38 moves normal to the conduit opening 16 it covers over a range of approximately .0001" to .0002" or less in response to pressures of the process material in the conduit. This movement of the diaphragm is transmitted remote from the conduit by a probe rod 53, the lower end of which, as viewed in the drawings, engages the cen tral portion 40 of the diaphragm. Probe rod 53 is smaller in diameter than bore 26 of the probe casing and, in one form of our invention, is centered within the bore by means of a centering disk or diaphragm 55 closely axially spaced to measuring diaphragm 38 and within the casing bore. Centering diaphragm 55 is tightly clamped between cap 30 and the inner portion of the lower end face 56 of the main body of the probe casing 25 and, if desired, may be secured further by retaining ring 58 pressed against the marginal edges of the diaphragm in an annular groove 59 in face 56, the groove 59 preferably having the same shape as groove 43 in cap end face 36. The central portion of diaphragm 55 is connected to the probe rod and for this purpose the lower end of the rod comprises an extension plug 61 having a thread- 6d stud 62 engageable in a tapped hole in the end of the upper part of the probe rod. Centering diaphragm 55 is secured between the plug and the upper probe rod during assembly of the latter, the annulus 63 of the diaphragm extending unsupported between the probe rod and the casing and permitting limited axial movement of the rod within the casing while restraining it against lateral movement.
The upper, as viewed, end 64 of cap 30 abuts tightly against shoulder 65 on casing 14 when the cap is assembled on the end of the casing body, the inner cap shoulder 66 simultaneously pressing the marginal portion of centering diaphragm tightly against the end face 56 of the casing body. When nuts 18 are tightened on screws 18 against probe casing flange 17, cap 30 is seated tightly on the gasketed shoulder 34 of the conduit wall and further is pressed axially against the casing body, making the cap rigid with the casing body.
Probe rod 53 extends upwardly through the casing and into housing 20 and is connected by a frictionless spring pivot 67, see Figures 2 and 3, to and near one end of, the left end as viewed in the drawings, a transversely extending link or bar 68 which is supported at its left end by frictionless spring pivot 69 secured by opposite brackets 70 to the side of housing 20, see Figure 3. The pivots 67 and 69 are laterally olfset from each other and bar 68 thus is a moment arm fulcrurned at pivot 69 and actuated to rock about the pivot by the action of probe rod 53 applied at pivot 67. Accordingly axial movement of probe rod 53 within the casing causes bar 68 to rock about spring pivot 69, the motion of the probe rod being amplified at the outer end 72 of bar 68 by the ratio of the length of the bar to the spacing of the pivots. Outer end 72 of bar 68 is connected to suitable conversion means for producing electric or pneumatic signals or is connected to directly actuated mechanical indicating means. An example of conversion means of this type is the motion amplifying linkage and differential transformer described in the Schweitzer application mentioned above.
Figure 6 shows a modified form of probe in which the auxiliary centering diaphragm for the probe rod is omitted, the measuring diaphragm being utilized for this purpose. In this form, probe casing 25' is fitted with an end cap 75 having an internal annular flange 76 circumscribing and closely spaced to probe rod extension 78 which is threaded on the end 79 of the main body of the probe rod 53. The opposite end 80 of extension 78 engages the central conforming part of measuring diaphragm 38, the concavo-convex annulus 39 of the diaphragm embracing the end edge of extension 78 and restraining lateral movement of the rod. In order to provide fine adjustment of the effective length of the probe rod 53, the extension 78 is adjustable axially on the threaded end 79 of the probe rod body, tranverse locking pin 81 being insertable in aligned holes 82, 83 in the extension 78 and probe end 79, respectively, to secure the extension in its adjusted position. Annular flange 76 of cap 75 serves as a stop to prevent excessive lateral movement of the probe rod incident to vibrations and jolts experienccd in shipment and which might otherwise damage the measuring diaphragm. In event of rupture of the measuring diaphragm during use, flow of the process fluid upwardly through the probe casing is substantially restricted by the narrow clearance 84 between the annular flange 76 and rod extension 78, the clearance being in the order of .004".
The measuring diaphragm 38' may be connected to the end of cap 75 by the ring-in-groove connection described above or, if desired, may be secured as by welding 85 to the outer peripheral edge of the cap as shown in Figure 6. In applications calling for an all welded construction, the cap is welded externally to the casing body along a V- shaped annular groove 86. Additionally other connections of the components are likewise welded, for example, at the junction of the flange 17 to the conduit adapter 14 and at the junction of the probe casing to the linkage housing 20.
In order to increase the thickness of the measuring diaphragm, and thus its strength without unduly increasing the stiffness, we have found that two or more diaphragms 88, 89, see Figure 7, disposed in juxtaposition with each other as shown give good results. The stiffness characteristic of the diaphragm increases proportionally with the cube of the diaphragm thickness whereas with the laminated or multi-ply diaphragm construction stiffness increases directly in proportion to the thickness. Thus the laminated construction may be utilized with the flush type pressure transmitter for measuring process materials at elevated pressures without substantial loss of accuracy. For example, a .004" thick, two-ply diaphragm has onequarter the stifiness of .004" thick single ply diaphragm and has substantially the same strength as the single ply diaphragm.
Our pressure sensing device is particularly well adapted to modification by the user for measuring pressures at different ranges. To accomplish this, the end caps 30 or 75, in non-welded constructions, are removed from the end of the probe casing body and are replaced with an end cap and diaphragm assembly selected for measurement of pressures at the desired pressure range. This feature of our transmitter construction pemits on-location change of the instument by the ultimate user and eliminates shipment of the entire unit to the factory for this purpose.
In the adjustment of our pressure sensing device after assembly, the probe rod 53 is set to engage the central portion of the sensing diaphragm 38 or 38' without imposing any load on the diaphragm. That is to say, the weight of the probe rod is counterbalanced through the spring pivots 67 and 69 and bar 68 by suitable balancing and adjusting mechanism connected to the outer end 72 of the bar so that the end of extension 61 or 78 just engages the sensing diaphragm in its neutral or zero position without axially loading the diaphragm. Any force transmitted to the probe rod as a result of pressure sensed by the diaphragm is thus an accurate measure of pressure in the conduit.
The range of pressures which our device can sense is variable and depends, inter alia, upon the effective area of the sensing diaphragm used. For example, to measure a range of pressures from a minimum of 0-200 p.s.i. to a maximum of 0-1000 p.s.i., a diaphragm having an eifective area, that is, the area of the casing cap opening which the diaphragm covers, of approximately .5625 square inch (.75 in diameter) may be used; for a range of 0-4000 p.s.i. minimum to 0-2500 p.s.i. maximum, a diaphragm having an eflective area of .1648 square inch (.406" in diameter) is used. Pressures in the order of 6000 p.s.i. have been accurately measured with our sensing device.
It will be apparent that various modifications and changes to and in the above described preferred embodiments of our invention will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the precepts and scope of our invention and it is to be understood that the above description is given by way of example. The essential characteristics of the invention are summarized in the appended claims.

King-Size Losers
As the Phoenix Suns continue their season-making-or-breaking playoff push, the Sacramento Kings recently clinched something as well: our award for 2008-09 NBA masters of sucktitude.
Along with the Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies, and L.A. Clippers, the Kings have spent the entire season toiling in the leagues cellar. What makes Suckramento suckier than the aforementioned bunch? The team recently suffered its second six-game losing streak of the season. Add that to two previous eight-game losing streaks and, well, the Kings are basically the epitome of that refrain from that infamous Consolidated/Yeastie Girlz song. You know the one.

Seat bottom fits great. Openings for seat belt latches are great. Side slots for seat belt straps are great. Head rest straps are great. Only complaint, and it is fairly major, is that the straps that go around the BACKS of the seats are too short. Do you have any velcro extenders that might help alleviate this? Thank you, Ann

Ashley Steele - Jailed After Shooting Man To Death Who She Believed Gave Her Herpes
Chicago, Illinois (The Weekly Vice) - Ashley Nicole Steele, a 21-year-old Chicago area prostitute was jailed Tuesday after she allegedly shot a client to death because she believed he gave her herpes.
According to Chicago police, Steele reportedly went to 40-year-old Derrick Gray's residence on February 4th to have paid sexual relations.
While they were in the bedroom, another woman knocked on the front door and claimed that Gray had given her herpes. She showed Steele text messages on her cellphone in which Gray apologized for giving her the disease.
Investigators say while Gray was talking to the woman, Steele stole a gun a bedroom end-table and began formulating a plan to murder Gray and then rob him.
When Gray came back inside, she pointed the gun at his head. Gray begged for his life and offered her money to let him go. When Gray attempted to push past her into a bedroom, Steele fired a shot through the bedroom door and struck him.
Steele then opened the door and shot him two more times.
After steeling cash from his pocket, she fled through an open window and was met by a car waiting down the street.
Detectives noted that Steele bought clothes, shoes, bleach, gloves and a baby bathtub from an area Wal-Mart soon after the murder, according to surveillance video. She then scrubbed the gun and changed out of her clothes she was wearing at the crime scene. Police later found the gun, clothes, and cleaning supplies in several Calumet City trash dumpsters.
Steele was booked into jail and was charged with first-degree murder. She was denied bond. A a preliminary hearing was set for April 26th.

Get home safely, Gene.
Boy, I wish you were near us. I'm trying to find a speaker on
Hosta for my Horticulture School in May. There is an active
Western New York Hosta Society, and an Upstate NY Hosta

operation, we can't offer enough money to have speakers
come from a distance.
We're having a gentle snowfall that so far hasn't amounted
to much but is promised to continue today and turn into
icy precipitation tonight, up to a foot. I've had about enough

For 30 years, Ray Harryhausen put the "special" in "special effects". Photographing his own handmade models one painstaking frame at a time, this pioneer of stop-motion animation created monsters, mythical creatures and above all dinosaurs that thrilled and inspired generations of film fans. As one of them, I'd still favour the skeleton battle from Jason and the Argonauts (1963), or his Medusa sequence from the original Clash of the Titans (1981), over all the 3D and CGI of Avatar in terms of excitement. It's like the difference between vinyl and digital download.
Harryhausen turns 90 next week, and this milestone is being fittingly celebrated. On Saturday, a BFI/Bafta tribute night at BFI Southbank, hosted by John Landis and featuring video messages from James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and Nick Park, kicks off a series of screenings of his films. And on his actual birthday next Tuesday, June 29, the London Film Museum's splendid exhibition of his creations opens to the public.
Kudos is due to the venue for conceiving and arranging it. It is not a huge show, since most of Harryhausen's titans and tyrannosaurs were only 18 inches high. But there are wonderful things: the phenomentally detailed and expressive dinosaurs from Valley of the Gwangi, the crab carcass that Harryhausen
re-articulated with a metal skeleton for Mysterious Island, the figures from his Fifties fairytales that look as if they could step straight into a present-day Tim Burton film. And one of those battling skeletons — created for the first of Harryhausen's three Sinbad films in 1958 — still wickedly grinning.
Where a model has been lost it is represented by a bronze sculpture that, along with illustrations and storyboards, showcase Harryhausen's skill as an artist. There's a larger-than-lifesize Medusa to startle kids who have seen the small working model and scary footage of her round the preceding corner. Each display case for the smaller figures comes with a screen showing them in action, or featuring their modest creator talking about them. The show deftly and briefly locates his place in the history of special effects and three-dimensional animation.
Sometimes the decayed state of the models tells its own evocative story of what low-budget genre film-making was like. The latex skin of a Tyrannosaur he made for an unfinished film in his teens (inspired by Willis O'Brien's stop-frame models for 1933's King Kong) has rotted to reveal the sophisticated metal armature. The giant octopus from It Came From Beneath the Sea (1960) only ever had six legs for budgetary reasons, and is now a glowering head: its limbs were recycled as dinosaur tails. Harryhausen's model of Raquel Welch, complete with fur bikini, for 1966's One Million Years BC, has aged less well than the real thing.
Harryhausen was working with perishable materials in an unsentimental era but it's right that he should be recognised with a show like this. Like the early film noir directors, he used iffy material as his springboard to create some truly memorable film sequences. Special effects indeed.
Ray Harryhausen: Myths and Legends is at the London Film Museum from next Tuesday, 020 7202 7040, londonfilmmuseum.com. For details of Saturday's Bafta and BFI tribute, or other screenings, see bfi.org.uk or bafta.org

Congratulations For becoming a featured author :). Welcome to the club. and btw your family portrait is just adorable :).
Thank you Tarun!
hi king of random i love your videos can you say hi? it would mean a lot
all of you projects are excellent, i was wondering, what software do you use to edit your videos and place the animations?
Hey, I just wanted to say that you do inspire lots of my prodjects. I hope to someday make instructables as good as yours. I have one question. Have you ever won any awards for your awsome instructables? Also what do you think about making an alcohol stove for one of your posts? It would be a good post because lots of people don't have, or don't want to get a hot plate for kitchen chemistry. Plus it's a cool thing that I think would be very popular. Thanks for reading. It would be really cool if you responded. Thanks for all of your awsome post. I constantly check for when a new one comes out. Always look forward to what your making next.
My younger brother loves your youtube channel when I told him you had a instructable account he was so excited.
Love your work, and am not surprised to hear it takes so many hours to make high-quality videos.
Are your kids getting involved in your projects? And if so, what do they get most interested in/excited about?
Great work. You are one of my favorite authors on Instructables. I have done a few of your projects and they are always very well explained. Keep it up!
I love the Magic Mud project! Where did you learn that a potato could act with those properties?
Super cool!
Finally!! Congrats, sir! One day I hope I'll be able to make videos even 1/10th as good as yours. It's so hard to do!
Love the family portrait too, so cute! :D

Phoenix Business Journal: Tips For Handling Tattoos And Piercings In The Workplace
Shayna Balch offered the Phoenix Business Journal tips for handling tattoos and piercings in the workplace.
Tattoos and other forms of body art were once considered to be part of a counterculture. Prior to the 1980's, tattoos and uncommon piercings were a rarity with an average of 1 out of every 100 people having a tattoo or other form of body art, Shayna explained. Today, approximately 1 in 10 Americans have a tattoo, and one-third of those age 25 to 30 have tattoos or some type of atypical piercing.
While society is becoming more liberated and expressive, and piercings and tattoos are now a part of everyday life, some employers are still finding it a challenge to manage body art in the workplace.
Shayna wrote that employers should draft their dress code policies in a manner that has a justifiable business rationale and does not discriminate against particular groups (i.e. gender, race, national origin, religion, and other protected categories).

Brain wi-fi' reverses leg paralysis in primate first
An implant that beams instructions out of the brain has been used to restore movement in paralysed primates for the first time, say scientists.
Rhesus monkeys were paralysed in one leg due to a damaged spinal cord.
The team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology bypassed the injury by sending the instructions straight from the brain to the nerves controlling leg movement.
Experts said the technology could be ready for human trials within a decade.
Dr Andrew Jackson talks about the primate brain chip
Spinal-cord injuries block the flow of electrical signals from the brain to the rest of the body resulting in paralysis.
It is a wound that rarely heals, but one potential solution is to use technology to bypass the injury.
In the study, a chip was implanted into the part of the monkeys' brain that controls movement.
Its job was to read the spikes of electrical activity that are the instructions for moving the legs and send them to a nearby computer.
It deciphered the messages and sent instructions to an implant in the monkey's spine to electrically stimulate the appropriate nerves.
The process all takes place in real time.
The results, published in the journal Nature, showed the monkeys regained some control of their paralysed leg within six days and could walk in a straight line on a treadmill.
Dr Gregoire Courtine, one of the researchers, said: "This is the first time that a neurotechnology has restored locomotion in primates."
He told the BBC News website: "The movement was close to normal for the basic walking pattern, but so far we have not been able to test the ability to steer."
The technology used to stimulate the spinal cord is the same as that used in deep brain stimulation to treat Parkinson's disease, so it would not be a technological leap to doing the same tests in patients.
"But the way we walk is different to primates, we are bipedal and this requires more sophisticated ways to stimulate the muscle," said Dr Courtine.
Jocelyne Bloch, a neurosurgeon from the Lausanne University Hospital, said: "The link between decoding of the brain and the stimulation of the spinal cord is completely new.
"For the first time, I can image a completely paralysed patient being able to move their legs through this brain-spine interface."
Using technology to overcome paralysis is a rapidly developing field:
However, he said, rhesus monkeys used all four limbs to move and only one leg had been paralysed, so it would be a greater challenge to restore the movement of both legs in people.
"Useful locomotion also requires control of balance, steering and obstacle avoidance, which were not addressed," he added.
The other approach to treating paralysis involves transplanting cells from the nasal cavity into the spinal cord to try to biologically repair the injury.
Following this treatment, Darek Fidyka, who was paralysed from the chest down in a knife attack in 2010, can now walk using a frame.

Cpl. Arthur Eisenstein: Viet Nam Vampire (2)Mature
"Fall out!" L.T. orders as the sun settles on the horizon. "We'll make camp here."
We break ranks and drop our gear. As the last rays disappear, I pull off my hood and feel the steam rising around my bare skin.
"Shadow! Front and center!"
In a flash, I'm standing at attention before my C.O. "Yessir!" I say.
"You've got watch," L.T. says. As he turns and starts to walk away, I glimpse his carotid. Its pulse is tantalizing and I reflexively bare fang.
L.T. freezes in his tracks and does a half-glance. He's good. You could almost say his senses are vampire-like. Almost.
"Doc!" he barks out at last. "You're on with Shadow."
Chappy jumps to his feet. His hand is on the stake at his belt. "I'll go," he volunteers.
"I said Doc!" L.T. countermands.
Doc steps up. He's our field medic and a good guy to know, but he's always been nervous around me. He's smiling, but his hand is on his stake.
I sigh and say, "Let's go."
I take point and we head off to establish our perimeter.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – No more are the Toronto Raptors nervously waiting for any sign of hope. No more are they catering to their franchise star – if only because, well, they don't have one. The greatest player in the team's history is gone, he isn't coming back and unless the Raptors tuned into sports radio over the summer, they likely haven't heard much from him since he left for Miami.
Chris Bosh(notes) has left, and the Raptors say they've moved on. Where exactly they're headed is the obvious question. Most league observers think Toronto will be challenged to even contend for one of the Eastern Conference's last playoff seeds.
"We see where the prognosticators have us and we use that as motivation every day in practice," Raptors coach Jay Triano said. "I don't constantly mention it to them, but I don't have to. They know what other people think about them.
"Our goal is to prove them wrong."
Bosh became the cornerstone of the Raptors' franchise after Vince Carter(notes) left midway through the 2004-05 season. He became an All-Star and left as the franchise leader in several major categories, including scoring and rebounding. But the Raptors also never won more than 47 games in a season with him and never advanced past the first round of the playoffs.
Still, the franchise wasn't ready to see Bosh go. Raptors officials routinely consulted him on team matters and personnel decisions – all in an effort to persuade him to re-sign.
"Everybody in the organization, top to bottom, including his teammates, wanted him to stay in Toronto," Triano said. "Everyone was trying to do things that they might not have done had he been under a long-term deal. I think a lot of players and staff and management tried to, I wouldn't say cater to him, but they wanted him to stay, and they did things to try to make him stay."
The sales pitch extended to the court, where every win and loss was measured on how it impacted Bosh's future with the franchise.
"Sometimes when you play with a superstar or an All-Star type of guy, you tend to defer," guard Jarrett Jack(notes) said. "I think all of us do. 'Get it to Chris, or get it to LeBron [James] or get it to Dwyane [Wade],' without doing your normal, instinctive, aggressive thing.
[With Bosh gone], it allows people to spread their wings, grow and see where they are as players for an overall season, which is kind of cool. We don't have to worry about, if we don't get him 25 shots, it's going to be hell on Earth. It's kind of cool being able to go out there and play."
Bosh's final season in Toronto ended early after he suffered a facial fracture in a game against Cleveland on April 7. With the Raptors still in contention for a playoff berth, team officials hoped he'd continue to play with a protective mask. He instead opted to miss the final five games, three of which the team lost. The Raptors finished one game behind the Chicago Bulls for the eighth and final playoff seed.
The Raptors had a good feeling after the season that Bosh wasn't returning. Triano said Bosh's agent, Henry Thomas, ended the suspense by calling Raptors general Bryan Colangelo about a week before free agency began to let him know Bosh would not be back. Bosh made it official on July 7 when he announced that he was joining Wade with the Miami Heat.
"I was disappointed," Triano said. "I had been with the organization the whole time with him being drafted and helping him become a better player. That part of it hurt. At the same time, there is a reason why people go through free agency and there is a reason why they sign contracts for the ability to make change if they want. I respect that."
Bosh's departure not only left a sizeable hole in the lineup, it robbed the Raptors of their most marketable player. And no one's quite sure who will become the new face of the franchise.
Gritty forward Reggie Evans(notes), currently the NBA's leading rebounder, is now the most popular Raptor because of his blue-collar style of play. Rookie forward Ed Davis(notes) is expected to make his debut sometime this month after recovering from right knee surgery, but no one is expecting him to make an immediate impact like Blake Griffin(notes) or John Wall(notes). DeMar DeRozan(notes) is gifted athletically, but is inexperienced and still needs to develop a consistent jump shot.
That leaves Andrea Bargnani(notes), the 7-foot No. 1 pick of the 2006 draft. While he was comfortable to defer to Bosh, Bargnani now has more freedom to grow his game. Bosh's absence has also impacted him in more subtle ways: Bargnani said he's getting more fan requests for pictures since Bosh departed.
Bargnani's confidence received a boost during the summer when he averaged 24.1 points and starred for Italy's national team in qualification games for the 2011 European championships. Through the Raptors' first three games, he's averaged 23.3 points while making 55.6 percent of his 3-pointers.
Bargnani is also averaging just three rebounds. And during two separate possessions at the end of the Raptors' 111-108 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday, he failed to get the ball for a needed 3-pointer. Still, he insists he's ready for the pressure that now comes from being one of the Raptors' top players.
"Why should I hide from this?" Bargnani said. "This is everybody's dream. That's why you practice every day and get better. Otherwise, why should you practice so much? Stay home. The pressure is a good pressure. If someone is putting pressure on you, that means you were doing good and they expect more from you, otherwise no one is going to expect nothing from you."
The Raptors, however, still aren't quite sure what to expect from Bargnani – which is why their coach isn't sure who will become the new franchise cornerstone.
"I think Andrea is the guy people kind of look to, but I'm not sure he's ready for that," Triano said. "He's still getting better as a player and he's still developing. That's what makes him the probable candidate along with the young players that we have."
This season's Raptors have played hard and fast. Whether that's enough to continue to win over Toronto's fan base remains to be seen. Bosh has moved on, and the team he left behind seems intent on building its own identity.
"People from the outside don't expect much," Bargnani said. "They see us as a bad team, but we have a lot of potential here.
