Would definitely stay at the Viceroy again. Accommodation, ambience and service were top notch. We're from Redondo originally and the location was excellent for us to catch up with friends and restaurants in the South Bay!
Mark P,
It was our pleasure to play host on your return to So Cal. So happy to hear it was a rewarding trip. We hope to welcome many more of these reunions with friends in the future.

Royals rescue thrilling point
The Royals battled their way to a point against Fulham at Madejski Stadium, in a pulsating encounter that will certainly thrill the neutrals on Match of the Day on Saturday evening.
Mikele Leigertwood gave the home side a lead at the break thanks to a trademark rocket strike from the edge of the box, before goals from Bryan Ruiz and Chris Baird swung the momentum towards the Cottagers in the second period.
Substitute Garath McClearly leveled the scores once more by clipping home a cutback from Jason Roberts - but a well taken strike from Dimitar Berbatov appeared to have killed off any hope of a reward for McDermott's men's efforts.
However their never-say-die spirit was again exhibited, as another replacement - Hal Robson-Kanu, snatched a draw by bundling home in stoppage time.
In truth Reading almost won it at the death, as Robson-Kanu and McCleary were denied by Schwarzer - but once again the men in blue and white were denied their first victory of the season.
Former Cottagers man Pavel Pogrebnyak had the first real chance of the game, as Jobi McAnuff's breakaway ended in Nicky Shorey chipping a delightful cross into the danger zone – where under extreme pressure the giant Russian nodded wide.
There was certainly room for Royals wingers Kebe and McAnuff to manoeuvre in the opening stages, with Jason Roberts also providing plenty of width on his return to the side.
At the other end Dimitar Berbatov mustered his side's first effort of the game fifteen minutes in, lofting a shot high over the bar from 25 yards after clever work from Kieran Richardson.
A better chance fell to Berbatov's strike partner Hugo Rodallega five minutes later, as visitors' number 20 headed tamely at McCarthy when given plenty of space in the centre of the box.
The middle of the first half saw a slight change of momentum in the Cottagers' favour, as former Real Madrid man Mahamadou Diarra blazed a shot off target from distance with twenty minutes remaining in the opening period.
But Brian McDermott's men would bounce back – and with a bang. An astute move involving Roberts, Pogrebnyak and McAnuff resulted in the ball rolling to Mikele Leigertwood on the edge of the box – and 'Ledge' made no mistake, hammering home a superb strike into the top corner.
The Mad Stad exploded with noise, and Reading's popular number 8 was the definition of joy as he dedicated his celebration to his baby son, Cameron – born in September.
Blue and white tails were up, as Roberts' canny jostling won a free-kick on 20 yards form goal – which 'The Pog' hammered wide of the post.
As ever in the top flight, there was always a threat from the opposition, even in spells of Reading domination – as Rodellega again headed weakly at McCarthy from close ranges after 25 minutes.
Duff also latched onto a half chance from Richardson's square ball in the late stages of the half, but the Irish international steered wide of McCarthy's goal.
An initially quiet second half started to spring into life ten minutes after the interval, as Shaun Cummings swung in a dangerous cross to the far post that had Schwarzer flapping, – before narrowly flying over the head of Pogrebnyak.
Moments later Roberts broke into the right hand side of the box, before toeing the ball past Fulham's number one and into the danger zone, but some desperate defending from the visitors ensured Martin Jol's men conceded only a corner.
In need, perhaps of some inspiration – Jol introduced the technically efficient Bryan Ruiz with half an hour remaining - and it was he who would drag Fulham back into the game.
The Costa Rican didn't have too much time to ponder as the ball fell to him on the bounce 20 yards from goal, and it was therefore all the more impressive as he thundered a wonder strike past McCarthy and into the same corner Leigertwood had pinpointed in the first half.
The Royals almost found themselves behind in dubious circumstances moments later, as Berbatov appeared to foul Mariappa on the box before taking a snap shot from six yards – which crept wide and into the side netting.
The home side made an effort to respond – Kebe finding space on the right and dancing across the area before seeing his low shot well held by Schwarzer – with Roberts ready to pounce on any spillage.
Chris Baird's free-kick deflected narrowly wide as home supporters began to feel their hearts in their mouths with 13 minutes remaining, and from the resulting corner – heads slumped further.
Baird met a dangerous swinging cross at the near post, heading past a helpless McCarthy to leave Reading with an uphill battle.
However it was a battle they would relish as two substitutes combined to level the scores once more. Hal Robson-Kanu scampered into the area before laying the ball into the six yard box, where Roberts' neat touch allowed McCleary to clip home.
Another replacement, Adam Le Fondre tried to match the breath taking efforts of Leigertwood and Ruiz before him with five minutes remaining as he controlled deftly on the edge of the area before swinging a volley at goal – which was well held again by Schwarzer.
Once more, however, a touch of class would silence the home support.
The Royals were again forced to settle for a Premier League point after another pulsating encounter at Madejski Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The match will certainly be a favourite for the neutral on Match of the Day - as the momentum changed constantly following Mikele Leigertwood's brilliantly struck first half opener.
Martin Jol's men struck back in the second period through an equally impressive effort from Bryan Ruiz, before Chris Baird headed his side into the lead.
Garath McCleary came off the bench to clip home a leveler for the home side, and although Berbatov's 88th minute strike appeared to have killed off any hope for McDermott's men - they showed their hallmarked fighting spirit, as substitute Hal Robson-Kanu bundled home an equaliser in stoppage time.
Berbatov had been relatively quiet up until the 87th minute – but he sprung into action in front of the visiting fans, finding space before whipping an unstoppable effort into the net from the left hand side.
Anyone who witnessed McDermott's men rise to the top of the Championship last year would have noted that they didn't give ever give up without a fight – and the Cottagers discovered this to their cost as stoppage time loomed at Madejski Stadium.
Captain McAnuff won a free-kick on the touchline, and as the ball was clipped into the box an epic goalmouth scramble ensued – resulting in Robson-Kanu somehow bundling in from close range.
It didn't stop there – the home side went for the jugular. Schwarzer had to be on top form to deny Robson-Kanu and McCleary – before Roberts almost diverted into the net from all of a yard in the dying seconds.
3-3 it would finish – and certainly an encounter for the neutral to enjoy on Match of the Day.

And somehow we're done with 2011 already. Last year I made one goal (getting this site to the top 50k in Alexa), and I didn't make any effort whatsoever to reach it, so at this point I'm giving up on yearly goals. But I will say this-- if SETT isn't rocking and rolling by this time next year, I'd better be a famous rapper.
I may be blind towards the future but hindsight is 20/20, so I'm going to a quick summary of the year.
When asked where I live, I always respond that I'm in San Francisco for half of the year and out of the country for about a third. I never actually knew how accurate that was until an hour ago when I went through all of my credit card reciepts and Tripit account to make a detailed list of everywhere I was this year. It turns out I was right on the money. Here are some stats:
Cities visited: 42
Countries visited: 18 (Portugal, Spain, Monaco, France, Italy, UK, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, China, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Germany, St Maarten, Antigua, Barbados, Panama, US)
New countries visited: 8 (Monaco, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Germany, Antigua, Barbados)
169 days in San Francisco (46%)
116 days out of the country (32%)
80 days in the country, out of San Francisco (22%)
31 days on a cruise ship (8%, overlaps with the above)
35+ flights
Overall, a pretty good year for travel. I did some good trips, saw some awesome new places (Berlin, Stockholm, Shanghai, and Iceland topping the list), and had adventures. At times it felt like I was rushing around a bit too much, but counter-intuitively, I got way more work done while traveling than when in SF.
During the first half of the year my work habits were subpar. The best way to explain is to say that I simply wasn't taking things seriously.
Some time during the year I experienced a mental shift, where all of a sudden it seemed idiotic to be wasting time with entertainment or useless crap when I have big goals that I'm not on track to reach. Let's say that there are four categories of things to do:
1. Things I want to do
2. Things I REALLY want to do
3. Things that are productive
4. Things that are REALLY productive
The first category is stuff like IM chatting with an acquaintance or watching TV or a movie or going to a party. The second category is stuff like camping in Japan or playing poker in the World Series.
The third category is stuff like redesigning my blog or making new business cards. The fourth category is things like building new features for SETT or writing blog posts.
I don't know what my time expenditure breakdown was before the shift, but afterwards I've almost completely cut out the first category. To a lesser extent, I've also cut out the third category. Now I spend about 20% of my time doing stuff I REALLY want to do, 65% on REALLY productive stuff, and the last 15% on the others.
Shifting so much of my attention and time towards REALLY productive stuff is by far the biggest change I made this year. My guess is that I used to spend about 15% of my time on this kind of work, based on feel as well as lines of code committed per week.
I did a lot of cool first things this year:
Created SETT
We technically started in December of last year, but everything substantial was built since then. SETT has taken more of my time and effort than anything else, and I'm more excited about it than anything else.
Learned to drive a motorcycle
I took my first motorcycle driving class on January 1, 2011, so I've been riding for just about a year (I didn't actually buy a motorcycle for a couple months). Biking has actually become a significant part of my life-- it's an enjoyable part of every day.
Flew a helicopter
I had always wanted to fly a helicopter, and finally got the chance to do it with a quick first lesson. Flying around is pretty easy; hovering is insanely difficult.
Played in the Word Series of Poker
Another long term dream was to play in the World Series of Poker. I played the $1500 buy-in Limit event and came in #100, one place above Jennifer Harman. Over the past year I've gone from being a losing poker player to a winning one, which is pretty cool.
Duing the portion of the year before I got serious about SETT, poker took up a lot of my time. It's nowhere near as important as SETT, but it's a really positive skill for the mind as well as the wallet.
Rapped for 1000+ people
In Mauerpark in Berlin, I had the chance to rap for over 1000 people in the Best Karaoke Ever. Video below.
Book hit the top 1000 kindle books
Thanks to the advice of Karol Gajda and the support of you guys, Life Nomadic was in the top 1000 Kindle books (out of over a million). That's the top .1%!
Fed a baby leopard and pet a bunch of tigers
I really like animals, and while I was in Thailand this year I had the chance to get close to a bunch of them. I fed a baby leopard who sat in my lap, pet a bunch of tigers (and walked a small one), and swam with sharks.
Rode the fastest train in the world and a private jet for the first time
I'm a sucker for superlatives, especially when it comes to trains, it seems. I've now ridden the slowest train (although it's decommissioned now) as well as the fastest, which is the Mag-Lev in Shanghai.
Thanks to JetSuite, I got to ride in a private jet not once, but twice! And, inspired by Kanye, I wore my PJs in the PJ.
Spoke at SXSW
Thanks to Jason Boehle, I got to speak at SXSW in Austin this year. That was another item on my must-do-before-I-die list, so I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity. Even better than getting to speak was getting a really great reception from a standing-room-only audience.
What could be better
I'm really happy with and proud of the things I did this year, but I think I could have done a lot more, especially in the beginning of the year. Too much time was spent just loafing around in San Francisco.
My dating life this year was abyssmal. I broke up with a long term girlfriend in March and have barely dated since then. I'm happy that I put work over dating (or productivity over pleasure, speaking more abstractly), but there's time for both. In February I'll be going out for 30 days in a row, so this should be fixed soon enough.
If I was going to grade my year, I'd give it a B+, penalizing myself primarily for not hustling a bit more, especially in the beginning of the year. I think that the biggest thing I need to focus on is not becoming complacent. I'm happy and have everything I need, so sometimes I have to prod myself to fire on all cylinders and really hustle.
Right now I'm working really hard, have several really exciting trips floating around as possibilities, and will be getting back into the dating scene, so 2012 will be started with some good momentum. I hope you had a great 2011 and are also going to crush it in 2012.
Dig your year in review. I hadn't thought of the categories like that before. Right now I'm doing a "Priorities" list (imminent things I must tackle to reach goals, similar to your #4) and a "Could Do" list (similar to #2 + 3) and block off an hour or two for #1 each day. I add to each list (could do & priorities) as soon as I think of an item, so I'm never at that "oh crap, i finished something now and i have free time what do i do now" spot. Gonna write a post about it soon.
Seems your system is working for you. Oh and congrats on SETT!
very nice round up, And yeah to put in a word being complacent is honestly the #1 productivity killer. So many times I have eveything I want, my life is floating along swimmingly when in fact i should stop being so complacent and take some serious action. Its weird, its hard to combat, but i find the best way is changing your current situation to make your realize how much complacency is making you miss out on
Excuses. Do 30 days in January on your own, then do another 30 with your friend.
This shit is fucking fun man. First couple of approaches per night in the first week are tough, but then it's fucking glory.
Going out solo has been amazing for my self-actualisation. You'll learn so much about yourself, who you are, how to push through your own resistance, how to socialize... all things that help you in literally any other area of your life as well. And you get sex as a reward, can't see why not everybody is doing that. Honestly.
It doesn't take that much time either. Instead of fucking watching a tv series or a movie go out and pimp it for 30minutes to 1 h then go hard on thursday-sat.
@Jake I'm not procrastinating, just waiting for a friend to get back in the US. Promised him I'd do the 30 days with him, but he's getting back into the country later than expected.
I've experimented with public goals and private goals.... doesn't have a big effect on me.
Dude, you wanted to start your PU challenge on January, stop procrastinating.
Anyway, I've just finished a 30 day challenge (I keep going actually) and it was amazing. If you want to get some tips on it, I'll be willing to talk with you about it. My e-mail is provided.
About goal setting, I'd recommend you this.
I get the feeling this is affecting you a lot as you seem like a very social person.
It changed this for me, too.
Me again... Maybe it's b/c I'm 38 and
remember when "Under Pressure"... er...
I mean "Ice Ice Baby" came out.
As we say in New England, Wicked Cool.
I'm sitting by a crackling fire at my aunt and uncle's house in New Jersey and we're just a couple hours into the new year, which means that it's a perfect time to review the year and look forward.
If I were to title my year, I'd call it the year I got serious. Something interesting happened near the end of 2011-- I realized that I wasn't actually on track for a lot of my goals, that I was going to have to actually get serious about stuff, and that this seriousness had to come in the form of action, not talk. I ended 2011 with a few months of solid productivity under my belt, and a year-end post that optimistically predicted a productive year.
I'm happy to say that the productive year materialized, and that my focus on getting serious has intensified.
When I was young, maybe third grade or so, a psychologist did a study at my middle school. We answered some questions and were offered two choices: a small prize now or a large prize later. I took the small prize now. I think knew it was the wrong move at the time, but the pack of stickers on the table looked like a lot of fun. Later on the big prizes were given to the waiters in such a way that I was able to see what they got. Sure enough, their prizes were a lot better and my stickers were long gone.
I got Jason Calacanis for a few minutes today during LAUNCH. I asked Jason what happened with TechCrunch ("different ideas" he said), what LAUNCH is all about (basically, awesomeness for startups) and what he wishes he'd done differently earlier in his career ("think bigger").
You can also see my LAUNCH coverage of Brian with Green Goose, and Adriana with Girls in Tech.
Here's the video with Jason. He committed to responding to comments posted on this blog, so if you have more questions for him, please post them below.

You can also see my LAUNCH coverage of Brian with Green Goose, and Adriana with Girls in Tech. Here's the video with Jason. He committed to responding to comments posted on this blog, so if you have more questions for him, please post them below. Here's a transcript of the video: Jason Calacanis: That's quite a set up- I like it! Daniel: Thanks, thanks! Yeah, it's actually really inexpensive! J: So its a Kodak? D: Zi8, and it has an external mic- a really expensive microphone. J: I like it! It's a $2000 microphone with a $500 camera. D: It's a $200 microphone with a $100 camera! J: Oh OK, wow! D: So I'm here with Jason Calacanis, and I first saw you at Founder Conference up on stage! I was there and you seemed to be very entrepreneur friendly, also very polarizing. I don't really know you but tell me, what's your story, how did you end up doing this? J: Oh, you know there are a lot of stories of my life and a lot of ups and downs but the launch conference is my view of what a technology conference around launching should be. You have 100 companies here with small tables (????)....compliments 36 companies on stage who are just awesome companies. We had 700 people apply and actually 5 of these launch pad companies will get to be on stage with those 36 so we'll probably end up having 42-43 companies on stage. They each get five minutes to present their product, why they built it, the business model and then a very serious group of judges gives them feedback. Some of the most successful---it's an unbelievable group of people and then there's a grand jury of 15-16 members who will vote on the winners and there's 5 winners in each of two categories: 1.0 category= Brand new company, brand new product, 2.0 category= Existing company with a new product. D: I heard you say that if you guys make a profit you're going to invest that? J: Yeah, any profit from the event- and there looks like there might be $10,000-40,000 in profits for this event- we are going to invest in the companies. I am an angel investor so instead of taking a short-term profit we're taking a long-term worldview. Of course that will be a very small angel investment. Most companies are going to raise one half of a million dollars or $1M or more, but if we can put in $10-20K to a couple of them, we feel pretty good about that! We hope to do this every year, maybe multiple times a year! This is a conference for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs. The ticket prices are extremely affordable- $400 for bootstrapping start-ups. If you've raised money, or you're a lawyer, accountant, venture capitalist, angel investor, it's only $1000. And the other demo-like conferences are $3-5K to participate and some of them charge $20K to be on stage. Some of them charge $4K to have a table in the demo pit like this so we want to be extremely friendly, we don't need to make $1M in profit off of this, we just want to put on a great show and have people pay attention to the 140 companies. D: You seem like a guy who's willing to take risks...my audience is people who either are tech- entrepreneurs or want to be. What do you wish you knew 10 or 15 years ago? What mistakes to see you entrepreneurs making? J: The biggest mistake I made in my career is that I didn't go big enough. D: As in market size, or... J: Yeah. The scope of the products I built- I built products that appealed to a small vertical. And they were successful. Silicon Alley Reporter, my first magazine had under 1 million people who would be interested in it. D: And you sold that to Dow Jones. J: Yes. The second company, WebBlogs, Inc. was smaller, appealed to a couple million people, in Gadget Autoblog Joystick they had single-digit millions so maybe as a group, maybe collectively 5 million people. And my latest company, Mahalo, I'm building to appeal to everybody on the planet. A place where anybody can learn anything. Learn how to make a podcast, learn how to use that camera, learn how to do audio engineering, learn how to make vegan food, learn how to play the guitar, learn how to do math. I want to teach everybody everything with Mahalo. And I could have done that with the first two companies; I could have gone bigger. D: It takes the same amount of effort to start a company why not... J: That's what I always say. It takes amount of effort to build a small company as a big company, as a huge company. And what I mean by that is that the entrepreneur will put in the same amount of effort. He'll put in the 70, 80, 90, 100 hours a week regardless of the market size. You might as well swing for the fences. D: How would you apply that to mobile, for example? Mobile has a lot of promise, it feels like we've reached a tipping point, is that a great big space or ...? J: Huge! There are niche apps obviously but there are apps that will appeal to everybody so you have something like Angry Birds which everybody plays, from grandmothers to grandchildren, and everybody in between from rich people to poor people all play that. It's people on welfare playing angry birds and there are billionaires on private jets playing Angry Birds. There's an example of something that appeals to everybody, it's huge and makes 10's of millions of dollars- easily. But then you have niche applications that solve specific problem. Both are virtuous. It's OK to do niche stuff but if you're going to do something that's in a niche, after you get your foothold and you're successful, think "how can I do this for 10 verticals? or 100?" Or, "how can I take this success in a vertical and apply it to everywhere?" Foursquarer only worked in New York and San Francisco but now it's everywhere! The same thing with Yelp! Yelp was a local service for San Francisco foodies and now it's international. You can start in a vertical, that's virtuous and then go big. D: Just don't think small. Don't be thinking small, think big. J: Think big, take small steps. D: Any other last tips? J: Yeah- you miss 100% of shots you don't take. Take your shot. D: Would you be willing to respond to comments if I put this on a blog? J: Yeah! I will tweet it too- send me the URL. D: Awesome, Thanks Jason! . //

My most recently discovered heroine is Dr Mary Hobson, who, having started learning Russian at the age of 56, pursued Russian studies through her 60s, gained her PhD at the age of 74 – and was subsequently awarded the Pushkin gold medal for translation. What an inspiration to us all! Especially since it is traditionally held that you need to learn a new language before the age of 24.
And so I have dreamed of dedicating my senior years to pursuing academic studies that eluded me in youth: when I was growing up in Ireland, you didn't get to university unless you were one of the two cleverest scholarship students in the county or your parents could afford to keep you swanning around Dublin with young men in sports cars at a time when most youngsters were earning. I left school at 16.
However I was fortunate enough to get to Birkbeck College – that enlightened arm of London University founded in the 1820s for working men and women – in my 50s to do a mature BA. That was rewarding, although in mid-life you may also carry the responsibilities of the busy, working parent.
But to students who are embarking on a course at Birkbeck this autumn, what I say is – be grateful! Appreciate what a privilege it is to gain entry to this fine branch of academia – unique in its field in that it is a real campus that allows students to study at night, or part-time, so as to accommodate the working person's daily schedules.
I had hoped to study for an MA there, beginning this term, in a subject that is the love of my life – drama – on a course called Text and Performance. But alas, although I had a glowing reference, wrote a decent essay, and am actually a playwright whose work has been performed (attracting an encouraging review in the Guardian). I failed – twice – to qualify for the course.
There comes a time in life when you have to accept what the nuns taught us at convent school about welcoming an opportunity to practise humility. The judgment was, in effect, that I was too dim to qualify for an MA. I was informed that I did not have the academic skills to succeed on the course and was not suitable for the programme because I did not give "conceptually informed answers" at interview.
I was a bit put out by that last point. I am certainly no academic ace, but I have always fancied myself as being rather nifty at conceptually informed ideas. I was once so told by a BBC producer for whom I was doing a gig. "You're not great on camera," said he, "but you're great at concepts." Now I'm beginning to wonder if he was just being nice.
The Birkbeck interview was by telephone, which I thought was a bit one-dimensional. And it was a tad disappointing that I was failed in 2013 because I had failed in 2012. No second chances then – that could be a metaphor of the ageing process.
Still, any selection process means that some will succeed and some will not (or, as the nuns put it, "many are called, but few are chosen"). Birkbeck's Text and Performance – taught in conjunction with Rada – is, by all accounts, hugely popular.
And that's life. Some you win, some you lose and, as you get older, you are inclined to lose more. I am certain that Birkbeck does not, and would not, discriminate against applicants on grounds of age – an 86-year-old student was observed accepting her PhD in a degree ceremony there not long ago – but I am coming to accept the view that nature does.
In your late 60s, you may have more experience under your belt – some from which you have even drawn some wisdom – but the old brain neurons fire more slowly. Your ability to absorb new stuff is slowing down, and Birkbeck is right – I would struggle to keep up with the bright young things and their "conceptually informed" ideas.
Some ambitions are just left too late. Dr Mary Hobson is, very likely, one of that biological elite that illuminates an exception. Most of us probably do not have the ability to learn new disciplines in our 60s and 70s, although, pathetically, I still can't quite let go of the dream.

I liked this story a lot.
Everyone was perfectly in character which made it a great read. Poor Inuyasha...appologizing when she's asleep...
Anyway, the main problem I had when I first looked at this story was the formatting. You might want to change it so that it actually goes across the page fully. Also, try not to make everything bold and use proper punctuation and sentance structure, that is to say-capitalize the first letter of sentences and put periods at the end of them.
I was considering not reading this because of the bad formatting. Don't give others an excuse not to read your fantastic writing.

Comments on Nigel Wiseman'sA Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine (I) —On the "word-for-word" literal approach to translation

Comments were made on the "word-for-word" literal translation method used by Mr. Nigel Wiseman inA Practical Dictionary of Chinese Medicine. He believes that only literal translation can reflect Chinese medical concepts accurately. The so-called "word-for-word" translation is actually "English-word-for-Chinese-character" translation. First, the authors of the dictionary made a list of Single Characters with English Equivalents, and then they gave each character of the medical term an English equivalent according to the list. Finally, they made some minor modifications to make the rendering grammatically smoother. Many English terms thus produced are confusing. The defect of the word-for-word literal translation stems from the erroneous idea that a single character constitutes the basic element of meaning corresponding to the notion of "word" in English, and the meaning of a disyllabic or polysyllabic Chinese word is the simple addition of the constituent characters. Another big mistake is the negligence of the polysemy of Chinese characters. One or two English equivalents can by no means cover all the various meanings of a single character which is a polysemous monosyllabic word. Various examples were cited from this dictionary to illustrate the mistakes.

Everyone may know who James Corden is in Britain but in the US he is completely unknown. 'The Late Late Show' took a gamble and hired Corden to takeover David Letterman as the host and last night he made his debut.
After barely any promotion it was a surprise to find out that the US public warmed to James, although the long list of celebrities appearing on the show may have helped. Tom Hanks, Mila Kunis, Simon Cowell, Eddie Redmayne and Meryl Streep all made appearances. That's quite a lineup.
He opened the show by explaining his British roots and his shock at getting the job.
Lucky Corden got to interview Mila Kunis on his debut, being the first person to make her reveal that she's now married to Ashton Kutcher. He also did an 8 minute stint with Tom Hanks of all his films – which was pretty funny.

This Man Stopped Going To Work For Six Years, And No One Noticed
Have you ever had one of those days when you go to work but literally have nothing to do?
Yeah, that was this guy's life. So he decided to stop going.
Joaquin Garcia, a 69-year-old from Cadiz, Spain, started working at utilities provider Aguas de Cadiz in 1990, The Independent reports.
In 2010, the city elected to give Garcia a commemorative plaque for 20 years of service. However, before awarding him the plaque, they discovered Garcia hadn't worked a day for more than six years, despite continuing to collect his 37,000 Euro salary.
Though Garcia denied the allegations, claiming he went to work daily, he admitted he had no work to do. The man allegedly told investigators he didn't want to quit because he feared it would be hard to find another job.
A Cadiz court ordered Garcia pay back a year's salary, the maximum fine allowed. Considering that means he got five years' worth of pay for free, it still sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

16 June 2016,
New York, Rockefeller Center
Price realised USD 20,000
Estimate USD 6,000 - USD 8,000
CLEMENS, Samuel Langhorne ("Mark Twain") (1835-1910). The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. London: Chatto and Windus, 1876.
8° (195 x 138 mm). Half-title; advertisements. Original publisher's red cloth, upper cover blocked in black and gilt, spine printed in black and gilt, yellow endpapers (hinges starting, slight fraying at ends of spine, a few small, pale stains).
FIRST EDITION. "The irresponsibility, the love of odd adventure, and the sense of natural justice as opposed to the village code, which characterize the heroes of this book and its sequel Huckleberry Finn, presented a sharp contrast to the Sunday School or rags-to-riches literature which was then the common fare doled out to children... these books let fresh air into the minds of parents who had shut the door on their own childhood, and they will be classics the world over as long as there are boys" (Grolier). Published 9 June 1876, the English edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the true first edition. Mark Twain did not want an American edition published until the novel had first appeared in England, thus securing a British copyright. But the American edition was further delayed, and not published until nearly 6 months after this English edition. BAL 3367; Grolier, American 79.

June is one of the best months to find yourself in Florence, as it can be a lot of fun to watch the semi-final games for the Calcio Storico or the final match played on June 24, on Florence's patron saint's feast day for St. John the Baptist.
What is Calcio Storico?
The Calcio Storico Fiorentino is a combination of soccer, rugby and big time wrestling originated in 16th century Florence and played today in historical costume. The four teams of the historical neighborhoods of the city play against each other, first in two semi-finals and then the final match to determine the winner.
The four teams are: Santa Croce (blue), Santo Spirito (white), Santa Maria Novella (red), and San Giovanni (green).
Piazza Santa Croce, located directly in front of the church Santa Croce, has always been the home to this game, known as "giuoco del calcio fiorentino" or more simply just as Calcio (which means "kick" in Italian). The square is covered in dirt to "return" to those times when it was just a dirt square (today it is covered in stone) and recreate the setting. Of course, today bleachers are also set up so that spectators can better enjoy the game.
The official rules of the Calcio Storico were first published in 1580 by Giovanni de' Bardi, a Florentine count. Invented by rich aristocreats, Calcio was originally just played by just the higher social class and took place every night between Epiphany and Lent. Just like Roman harpastum, it was played in teams of 27 and both feet and hands were used. Goals can be scored by throwing the ball over a designated spot on the perimeter of the field with another goal running the width of the short ends. There is a main referee, six linesmen and a field master. Each game is played out for 50 minutes with the winner being the team with the most points or "cacce" scored.
Want to know what the game means for a "calciante" or Calcio player? Read my interview of Fabrizio Vallero, a "calciante" for the Bianchi of Santo Spirito to find out.
The prize for the winning team? A Chianina calf!!
Who plays who for the semi-finals? The teams are decided on Easter Sunday by drawing painted balls, see photo below.
The Dates
Over a weekend in early June, the two semifinals are played between the four teams. The two winners will then play against each other in the final match, which is always played on June 24th (at 5pm) in grand style on Florence's feast day for its patron saint, St. John the Baptist. On this day, a splendid parade in historical costume starts in Piazza Santa Maria Novella and heads through the center on its way to Piazza Santa Croce. Each of the four districts is in the parade, you'll see the players going by as they go to play the final, even those that won't be playing the last match. The parade starts roughly around 4pm since the final should start around 5pm. Just head downtown, you'll run into the fun!
Don't forget to end the day's celebrations along the banks of the Arno to watch the spectacular fireworks launched from Piazzale Michelangelo!
Get Your Calcio Tickets Ahead of Time
Tickets are generally sold in late May- early June through the online ticket reseller Box Office Toscana. Many of the seated places get sold-out early on so we do recommend you buy tickets ahead of time if you know your dates and want to make sure to go. If you're interested in being in the short-end tribunes (with fans of one team or the other), you could also just wait until you are here and buy tickets then since all of these are for standing room only.
Cost of tickets generally goes from 22 to 53 euro with the best central seats in tribune A being the most costly (plus cost of pre-sales on the website). Sale of tickets starts only once the semi-final dates have been decided, it varies from year to year. Start looking for tickets online from mid-May, as they often aren't available earlier (they can also start much later as well - so be patient! ;-)).
Calcio Storico Fiorentino 2017
The semifinals will be played the weekend of June 10 and 11.
On June 10th, the "Greens" of San Giovanni will challenge the "Reds" of Santa Maria Novella in Piazza Santa Croce at 5pm.
On June 11th, the "Whites" of Santo Spirito will go against the "Blues" of Santa Croce (also at 5pm).
Info on ticket sales is not yet available!

Say you've got a large group coming over for the holiday. Are you better off roasting one 20-pound-plus bird or two smaller ones?
That was the question posed recently by a reader.
The turkey experts at Butterball had ready answers. Basically, you have nothing to lose and much to gain by going small. Turkeys cost the same per pound regardless, and experiments in the Butterball test kitchens showed that the percentage of edible cooked meat yielded by a turkey is nearly the same regardless of size. So two 12-pounders would produce the same amount of meat as one 24-pounder.
The gains:
"We've had a lot of positive feedback from consumers who have chosen to do two smaller birds," said the helpful woman from Butterball.
It's also easier to find smaller turkeys than the really large ones (over 20 pounds), especially as Thanksgivivng Day draws closer.
The only downside, for the knife-challenged, is having two turkeys to carve instead of one. The glass-half-full answer to this: You have one turkey to parade to the table for presentation while the other is getting carved.

Chapter 6 - Pursuit
Delwind and Amaria had been walking about fifteen minutes, in total silence. Their packs were weighed down with food and full waterskins. Delwind's sword was sheathed and belted, and Amaria's quiver was strapped over her back. Her hood was up again to protect from the bitter wind that was gusting from the mountains. Delwind didn't feel the cold – he had lived on the edge of the mountains all his life.
'I'm so … tired,' Amaria yawned, putting a hand over her mouth. 'It must be nearing midnight now, surely.'
'It's only been about an hour since sunset,' said Delwind. 'We need to get as far away from Thorsbridge as possible now, because those soldiers might have horses. We need to find a good hiding place.'
'Aren't you tired?' she said, swallowing another yawn.
'No, I have to stay up late sometimes to make sure we get the harvest in.'
Amaria fell silent, considering this. Where she came from she had to go to bed early, and never had to do any physical work. She was starting to regret running away from home.
'We need to walk quicker,' said Delwind anxiously, looking behind him. 'They could be following us, and if we're further away we'll be harder to find.'
'Oh, for King's sake stop moaning, will you!' Amaria burst out suddenly. 'How will they see us when it's pitch black?'
'They might hear us if you keep talking like that,' said Delwind quietly.
'Shut up,' she snapped.
Silence fell again, tenser and more awkward. Delwind was surprised at Amaria's sudden outburst, and Amaria was feeling slightly ashamed of herself.
In fact, had they been talking, they would not have heard the rustling of the bushes behind them.
Delwind spun on his heel, drawing his sword. Amaria had her bow out in seconds and shot the soldier in the head as he emerged onto the path. His comrade came out behind him, about to blow a horn; Delwind charged forward and cleaved the horn in two with a two-handed strike that followed through and cut off the man's arm. The force of the strike forced the soldier backwards – he hit his head on a tree, fell to the ground and moved no more.
'See?' said Delwind. 'We've been walking for about half an hour and they can still find us.'
But Amaria was still silent. Her hands were over her mouth and she was looking at the soldier she had shot dead with shock. Once again, tears were sliding down her face.
'I killed again …' she said faintly. 'What am I turning into? I'm supposed to be a pr–'
Luckily for Amaria, she was interrupted before she could finish her sentence. Had she blundered on, she would have revealed her true past. Other men had advanced, and Delwind had pulled her down to avoid an arrow soaring towards them. More volleys were spraying from their direction. Delwind pulled Amaria off the path after him and felt one lodge in his pack.
Amaria swiftly climbed a tree for height advantage, and using a branch to shield from the arrows coming in their direction, she return fired, being swifter and more accurate than their attackers. Meanwhile, Delwind had edged behind them in the shadow of the trees. A swordsman turned to face him, as did a dozen archers. Dodging and deflecting their shots agilely, Delwind stabbed forward with his sword, and to his surprise, the man crumpled, dead, on the floor.
Delwind had no time to register shock. More arrows were flying, fletched with electric blue feathers. Using his sword as his main defence, Delwind blocked most of the shots, but had to dive behind the thick trunk of Amaria's tree to avoid the rest. Amaria dispatched the rest of the men then jumped down to the ground.
Now the shock was sinking in. I have killed a man, thought Delwind. He could still feel the jerk of pain that the man had given as the sword pierced him, could still see the terror in his eyes …
'It's strange, isn't it?' he said quietly, still sitting where he had dived for cover.
'Yeah,' said Amaria in a subdued voice. 'I've never felt so empty.'
'But we had to,' said Delwind with conviction. 'If we hadn't, they'd only have killed us.'
Despite taking part in sparring competitions and practising with his brother, Delwind had never, ever killed anyone. Now he felt nauseous, drained and culpable
'How do you know?' said Amaria. 'Why wouldn't they have just taken us prisoner?'
'They were shooting at us!' said Delwind angrily. 'They were aiming right for your head, if I hadn't pulled you out of the way – well …'
They fell silent, yet again, and turned back to the path.
* * *
It seemed to be a long time later when they were eventually too tired to carry on. They didn't want to stop for fear of more soldiers, but they were now so far away from Thorsbridge that the torches that lit the town at night could no longer be seen through the trees. Finally they reached a secluded spot under the roots of a fallen tree, and set up camp. Relieving their shoulders of their heavy packs, they sat down against the straggled roots of the oak and listened to the night in silence.
'So, what did you do when you were a child?' said Amaria.
'Not much, really,' said Delwind offhandedly. 'The farm's been the most important part of my life, it's the thing that's earned our food, our house, everything Dad used to get for us.'
'How could you leave it so easily, when we don't even know where we're going?'
'It wasn't easy. The only reason why I did it is because wherever we are from now on, Ildar'll be looking for us, mark my words. If we're in Thorsbridge, they'll kill every last one of the villagers until we surrender. I've grown up all my life with those people, and I'm not letting them suffer for something I've done.'
'You didn't kill that spy,' said Amaria. 'Why should they blame you?'
'I've still spilled Ildarine blood,' said Delwind. 'Under their laws I'm sentenced to death.'
The sound of the word 'death' seemed to wake Amaria up.
'But I've done worse than that!' she moaned. 'I actually killed that spy!'
'Yeah, and you killed loads of those soldiers back there,' said Delwind. 'So did I. Even though we're in Chalea, we've still killed men from Ildar. And that's why we have to defend ourselves. If we don't, we'll die either by hanging or falling in battle. What would you rather do?'
Amaria looked shocked at Delwind's matter-of-factness.
'What – so you think that we have to kill all of these men to stay alive?'
'What would happen if we didn't?' Delwind demanded. 'They'd run off, tell the others exactly where we are, then they'd have half a legion on us! We wouldn't survive that. All we need to do is stay hidden, and get to Rockhelm as fast as we can.'
'What do we do when we get to Rockhelm?' said Amaria.
'Take a boat down to Lionforge and tell the King.'
'We can't go to Lionforge!'
'Why not?'
'Because we can't!'
'Because – it's dangerous! Those men will be after us! They'll know we'll head that way.'
'They can't block us from passing down the whole mountain range,' said Delwind. 'They think we're going the quick way, across the plains. But if we go to Rockhelm first and take a boat, we'll be fifty miles south of where they're expecting us to turn up! Anyhow, they won't dare turning up close to Lionforge, otherwise the King will know straight away that they're here.'
'But – but – '
'Where else are we going then?' snapped Delwind acidly. 'Over the mountains? South?' He laughed sarcastically. 'I don't think so. We've got nowhere else to go, and the King needs to know.'
'Can you actually control a boat?'
'No, but there'll be people in Rockhelm who can, surely they'll –'
'Have you got enough money to pay them to take you to Lionforge and back?'
'No, we'll just have to stow away, or do work on one of the goods barges. They always have vacancies, there'll be a space somewhere.'
'Fine!' Amaria folded her arms and leant back against a gnarled fist of root that was jutting out from the lower branches. Delwind looked at her superciliously.
'There's no need to be so stroppy,' he said solemnly. 'Why do you have such a problem with going to Lionforge?'
'It's … complicated,' said Amaria. 'I don't want to talk about it.'
'Is it so bad that you'd die before you went?'
'Stop being so dramatic,' she said, 'does everything really have to be about living and dying?'
'I'm just trying to be realistic. So, is it so bad that you'd die before you went?'
Amaria thought for a moment.
'No,' she said finally.
'Fine, you won't have a problem with it, because you will die if we don't go. I'll die too. If you don't come with me, I'll go without you.'
And on that note, Delwind turned over onto his shoulder, away from Amaria, and went to sleep.

Money well spent. Made well and looks good !!!
dual stripe
Reviewer: Damian (parma hts, oh)
Nice work shirt. Not to thick to be heavy and uncomfortable in summer months. Comes clean easy. Better stiching and heavier material than the automotive crew shirt.
Great, comfortable, and professional looking shirt !!!
Reviewer: John Cowan (Lees Summit, MO)
Just opened my first auto repair shop, so I'm on a tight budget. These shirts are very well made and are very comfortable to wear. I get a lot of compliments on how professional they look, especially with my shop name embroidered on the front. The cost of these shirts can't be beat for the sheer quality your getting.

A brief account is given of the research that D.I. Arnon did before he ventured into the field of photosynthesis, viz. his work on inorganic plant nutrition in the laboratory of D.R. Hoagland. The connection between the two areas is indicated. In his work on plant nutrition Dr Arnon emphasized the role of specific nutrients and, with P.R. Stout, formulated a definition of essentiality that is used to this day. It is now necessary, however, to take into account elements not meeting their criteria of essentiality, as shown by a consideration of the element silicon.

Chapter VII, Face, TheGirlMature
I hobbled past a stammering Don, still in pain, and grabbed onto the fence. The girls had backed off a little. I supposed they didn't know what a dick was, just as I had no idea why their chests were so swollen.
"Sorry to scare you girls," I said. Old Tricker used to tell me that girls loved a guy who understood them. And you had to "be nice, or pay the price." I'd asked him once what the price was, but he'd only grinned perversely to himself and said "You'll know it when it happens, lad." He was skimpy with the details, was Old Tricker.
"Yeah, well, you did!" snapped the one with the short hair.
Jeez. Old Tricker never mentioned they were cranky. Oh well. It wasn't me who insulted them.
I hit Don's arm witht he back of my hand. "For fuck sake, Don! Don't you know how to behave in front of lovely women?"
Don shot daggers from his eyes. Speckz, who was rubbing viciously at his cheeks, burst past us and spoke through the fence.
"So, what are your names?" he asked bluntly.
The londe one who'd kissed him blushed and stepped forward. "I'm Tonsy."
"Liebe," said the pixie girl.
"Dolly," said the one who had underestimated the pain that had been inflicted on my dick.
"I have a question - is it true that you sometimes exchange blood? Like, bite each other and drink each others' blood?"
Tonsy turned wide eyes towards the other two, and they all cracked up laughing.
Heat filled my face and anger filled my stomach. What an idiot. Was he trying to completely humiliate me?!
"No!" Dolly screeched with laughter. "No, we do not!"
"Interesting!" said Speckz. "Coz my friend Face here -"
I slammed my shoulder into him. "Shut up, you four-eyed idiot!" I yelled as he fell on the ground. He grabbed onto my legs and pulled me down. I didn't mind having to beat him up - Old Tricker always told me that girls loved a tough man who could fight for himself. We wrestled and cursed and spat at each other for a while, when I suddenly realized the girls had lost interest in us, and were crowded around Don.
I shoved Speckz away from me, sat up, and wiped a little blood from my lip. The girls giggled at something Don just said. Fuck.

A/N: Yeah, I know. It's been forever. I was having trouble with inspiration. Hopefully the length of the chapter makes up for its lateness. Thanks to Lizzie for the beta.
A/N: Before we get started, more than one reviewer has asked me why I think Draco Malfoy was at Hogwarts for his seventh year. The answer is simply because canon heavily implies that he was. For one thing, all students, except Muggle-borns, were required to attend Hogwarts that year. Secondly, when Harry and the gang get captured and taken to Malfoy Manor in chapter 23 of DH, Narcissa says that Draco is home for the Easter holiday (and thus he is available to identify Harry, Ron and Hermione), which implies that he's been attending school.
Rated: PG-13Summary: With Harry off hunting Horcruxes, Ginny, Neville and Luna reform the DA and do what they can against the new regime at Hogwarts. Contains spoilers for DH!( Chapter TwoCollapse )Chapter 3

Percy Creuzot
Percy Pennington "Frenchy" Creuzot, Jr. (May 28, 1924 – June 6, 2010) was a restaurateur who founded Frenchy's Chicken in Houston, Texas.[1] Due to his success, he became known as "the black Colonel Sanders."[2]
Life and business[edit]
On May 28, 1924, Creuzot was born in New Orleans. His father, Dr. Percy P. Creuzot, Sr., was a doctor. Creuzot, Jr. served in the United States Navy in World War II and received an honorable discharge in 1946. In 1949 he graduated from the Hampton Institute, now known as Hampton University. In the 1950s he worked as an insurance agent.[1] Creuzot stated he was losing money selling insurance, so he moved to Houston.[2]
In Houston Creuzot initially wanted to establish a Louisiana-style sausage business, but he found that it would be more costly than he originally believed because the Texas and federal authorities had increased regulations on those types of businesses.[2]
He arrived in Houston in 1965.[3] Herff-Jones Jewelry,[1] an Indiana-based manufacturing company of high school graduation supplies hired Creuzot as a salesperson for the black high schools in Houston.[2] On the side, Creuzot sold New Orleans-style sno-balls.[3] After desegregation allowed employees to serve schools of any race, the company reduced its workforce and laid off Creuzot. Creuzot found that his new job at the Texas Workforce Commission did not pay enough to "buy the grits and grease" and he "wanted to live a little better."[2] Creuzot established Frenchy's in 1969.[3] Prior to the opening of the restaurant, Creuzot was not known by the nickname "Frenchy". He gained the nickname "Frenchy's" because people associated the name of the restaurant with him.[2]
By 1985 Creuzot had purchased property in Galveston.[2]
On Sunday June 6, 2010, Creuzot died of a stroke,[3] at age 86. His funeral was held at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church. His grave is located at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Houston.[1]
Philanthropy and other efforts[edit]
Creuzot constantly supported Texas Southern University (TSU). Governor of Texas Bill Clements appointed Creuzot to the board of regents. He eventually was elected vice chair, and he served for twelve years.[1] He also served on the board of directors of Catholic Charities. In addition he was a member of restaurant associations at the Houston, Texas, and national levels and he also was a member of the Houston Citizens Review Board.[1]
In 1986 Mayor of Houston Kathy Whitmire appointed Creuzot to be one of the 16 members of her "Visions for Houston" panel.[4]
Creuzot had an affiliation with the Greater Houston Visitors & Convention Center, and he was a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).[4] He was a member of the Knights of St. Peter Claver and the fraternities Alpha Phi Alpha and Sigma Pi Phi.[1]
Creuzot gave money to Hampton University, TSU, the NAACP, the United Negro College Fund, University of Houston, and Xavier University.[1]
Personal life[edit]
He married Sallie Coleman in 1947 and had three children:[1] Percy III, Angele, and John C.[3] Percy III became the owner of the original Frenchy's, and for a period Angele operated a Frenchy's on South Shepherd in Neartown.[5] John C. Creuzot became a state district judge; as of 1994 John lived in Third Ward.[6] Creuzot also had 3 sisters, Alexa Delahoussaye, Hortense Turner,[citation needed] and Martina Cox. After his death, he was survived by his sister Martina, wife, and children.[3]

City Councilman Eric Garcetti earned the endorsement of former rival Kevin James on Tuesday, giving him the backing of all of the other major candidates from the March 5 primary for his runoff mayoral campaign against City Controller Wendy Greuel.
Greuel on Tuesday, meanwhile, offered a more detailed policy rundown of her platform in a major speech on the UCLA campus, outlining plans to reduce the budget of the mayor's office and City Council by 25 percent and establish a $50 million fund to create tech jobs.
Both candidates are seeking to differentiate themselves, firm up their bases, and attract voters before the May 21 runoff.
James, the only Republican among the leading candidates, finished a surprising third in the primary, starting the campaign in obscurity but building support through a conservative, anti-government message and financial backing from a Texas billionaire. He particularly showed strength in the San Fernando Valley, which has traditionally had more conservative voters than other parts of the city, and finished with 16 percent of the overall citywide vote. Garcetti has also won the backing of the other major primary candidates, City Councilwoman Jan Perry and tech executive Emanuel Pleitez.
A former talk show host who earned attention for his brash criticisms of City Hall, James frequently slammed Garcetti, Greuel and Perry during the primary for their lack of leadership while the city suffered through years of substantial budget deficits.
But standing next to Garcetti on Tuesday outside City Hall, James credited the former council president with being willing to "step up and admit" there are problems in city government.
He also praised Garcetti for recently staking out a position in opposition to two hot-button projects: Moving a runway at Los Angeles International Airport to the north, and a 55-story twin skyscraper project proposed for Hollywood.
Locals in those respective neighborhoods, Westchester and Hollywood, oppose the projects. Greuel has publicly said she hasn't made up her mind on either.
"That's leadership that I am talking about," James said. "And we're not seeing that from the other campaign. "
James' backing of Garcetti speaks as much about his support of the city councilmember as it does his frustration with Greuel. As he did during the primary, James said his biggest issue with Greuel is her support from the Department of Water and Power union, which is part of a group that spent $2 million on her in the primary.
"I think it's a conflict of interest," James said, pointing to the DWP union's influence at City Hall.
Garcetti praised James' critiques of City Hall, saying he'd like to retain him as an advisor.
"We need people to point out what we're doing right, and what we're doing wrong," Garcetti said.
Across town, Greuel shrugged off the James endorsement, telling reporters at an event in Westwood that she would rather have the backing of former mayor Richard Riordan, who recently endorsed her.
For the first time in her campaign, Greuel outlined major policy initiatives she would undertake if elected mayor. Tuesday's speech also marked a new chapter following the replacement of her campaign manager, Rose Kapolczynski, two weeks ago.
She offered voters numerous new policy initiatives, including a technology jobs fund, and a plan to cut the budgets of the mayor and City Council.
She said the $50 million fund would be modeled on a successful New York program and would involve partnerships with the private sector to develop new technology and leverage private capital.
Greuel also focused heavily on the Los Angeles Unified School District, promising more reforms. "Improving our schools isn't just up to the school district, it's up to each elected official in office," Greuel said. "It's up to every parent. I know that as a parent of a child in public school. This is the single biggest threat to our city, and I'll use my role as mayor to make progress. "
Noticeably, the speech didn't mention the two key components to Greuel's primary campaign: $160 million she said she had identified in city government waste in controller's audits, and a plan to add 2,000 police officers without raising taxes. The Garcetti campaign and other critics have questioned the validity of both statements.
But Greuel continued to hammer away at Garcetti. The City Council is unpopular with some city unions, who've publicly complained that Garcetti goes back on his word.
"Do (voters) want a fighter--a doer--as mayor?" Greuel asked. "Or do they want someone who is good at the handshakes, but who won't stand by his work or his commitment? "
During her speech, she also quoted UCLA basketball coach John Wooden. "Failure is not fatal. But failure to change might be. "

Beginners: please read this post and this post before posting to the forum.

I don't care about the torque/max velocity.I don't care about maximizing strength/efficiency. I'm a beginner and I'm almost at the point were I can get a motor to move. I just want that for now, so I can fiddle with it and learn.Question: so how can I set up a " current monitoring and adhusting system"?I can use transistors, yes? (I don't know enough about circuits yet. Still reading)Tell me if the following is true: I just need to increase the current somewhere between the driver and the motor, right?Then the thing will turn w/o anything burning up? (again, neglect efficiency).
Actually I don't think I can do that first suggestion.[...]My motor: http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/Motion_Control/Stepper_Systems/Motors_-z-_Cables/STP-MTR-23055[...]So yeah, the bottom line is I screwed myself because I didn't have enough understanding before I started ordering stuff in the first place, and now I have to make it work with this stuff or I can't justify ordering more because its not my money.
Hi,You sure did, but hey, call it a learning experience and it ain't all bad The driver I posted wouldn't work anyway, as you bought yourself a step motor.I assume you got the 2.1V from the 2.8A and 0.75 Ohm spec(?) but a stepper is sually driven from a higher voltage with a chopper or similar to back off the current when the field winding is near saturation - that's why it hasn't got a voltage spec.You can still make it move though and with a resistor in each winding (two in total, as it's a bipolar motor) you can keep the 754410 (1A out) alive.Carbon/zinc cells are the lowest quality of all battery technologies and won't work for long, but aiming for the 6V Lantern battery, a 3.3 Ohm (4W or higher) resistor will keep your driver alive, as the driver itself will "steal" around 2V of the available 6V. The motor will probably not be able to run/drive anything that way, but it will let youexperiment with making it go.Did you buy a stepper on purpose, or did you mistake it for a regular DC motor?If so, you might be able to trade it in for a suitable DC motor, but the one you have ain't half bad, provided you build or buy a proper driver for it.
Besides experimenting, do you have a future goal/purpose for this motor?
So essentially I just need to add two resistors to appropriate places in the circuit to prevent anything from smoking?
Would it be OK for me to draw up a circuit diagram and ask you or someone else here to double-check it for me?
So overall, the idea here is to protect the driver by diverting some of the voltage to resistors?
The driver you posted involved several transistors, right? Is there a way I can use transistors in the circuit to increase the current going to the motors?
I purposely bought 3 of that stepper model because I originally intended to make robot limbs (arms and legs) and eventually a completely humanoid-shaped bot (though not life-sized). I had to keep scaling back as and putting goals off as I learned more about what skills were needed. Originally though I just bought some stuff to jump in and get my hands dirty, and learn as I go. Things haven't been going as smoothly as I hoped, but I don't care, I sill love doing this kind of stuff.
Yes. It's gotta be power resistors though.
If you still have the connector on the motor, one resistor go to either pin 1 or pin2 (doesn't matter which) and the other goes to either pin 3 or pin 4.
OK, have fun with it (it IS), but consider getting those dirty hands on a DC-motor as well, as they are the bread and butter of motion control and is an easy first step to learn.You can either rip one from a toy car (or similar toy) a broken down VHS recorder, cordless drills/screwdrivers and so on - the size doesn't matter for experimenting
Here's the schematic.
Also, I mistakenly put 3ohm in the picture where it should have been 3.3ohm resistor.
Like this ?: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12554561&filterName=Type&filterValue=5-watt+resistors
Why the hell are these things so hard to find? Radioshack sucks. I'll probably have to order those two little resistors.
Can I instead put 3 10ohm resistors in parallel to get 3.3 ohms? They are more likely to have 10 ohm resistors in store.
What is the "connector" you refer to? Is it one arm of the resistor?
Could run it with the other driver I have on hand (L193D)? Would experienced people normally use a driver like that for running a DC motor? Or a simpler driver instead?
Could anyone tell me if the schematic posted above would work?
Also, if I used a higher voltage battery, would I need higher ohm/ watt reistors? Or would the answer be no because the situation is that the motor is pulling current through the circuit as opposed to the battery pushing current through the circuit?
-Where do the 4 wires labeled "phase" lead to?
They come from the controller.
-The schematic specifies 24V supply at the top. Does that mean I MUST use 24V battery for this project? Or "12V" battery? Or am I still using 6V like I was originally going to?
-Why are we talking about 10 ohm resistors now when we use to be talking about 3.3 ohm resistors? Is it because we went from a 6V battery to a 12V battery? Or was that post just a very thorough example for a different voltage from what I'll be using?0 (if so, thank you so much again for going through the basics for me like that. You can probably guess how enlightening it is for me)
-When you said before that "If you still have the connector on the motor, one resistor go to either pin 1 or pin2", the pins you refer to are the 4 motor connector pins right?
-Are the black triangles on the right side of the picture diodes? Shouldn't they be white triangles, or am I mistaken?
-So besides the obvious (microcontroller, driver, battery, motor, breadboard and hookup wires), according to the schematic I also need 8 diodes, a 10 kilo-ohm resistor, and 2 3.3 ohm resistors? Am I missing anything?
-Do I really need those diodes? Would it be a big mistake to leave them out considering that the motor is not running full capacity/strength? I ask because dealing with the diodes is an element of uncertainty for me and I would rather avoid them this time if I could.-If I do need the diodes, do I connect them in series? Is that how the schematic is read?-What kind of diode should I get? Will any do? How about this one :http://m.radioshack.com/radioshack/product/detail.do?itemId=13015070&categoryId=&path=

Heart Attack Risk Not Increased By Laughing Gas
The findings by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis will appear in the July issue of the journal Anesthesiology.
"It's been known for quite a while that laughing gas inactivates vitamin B12 and, by doing so, increases blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine," said lead author Peter Nagele, MD, assistant professor of anesthesiology and genetics. "That was thought to raise the risk of a heart attack during and after surgery, but we found no evidence of that in this study."
Nitrous oxide normally is used as an adjunct during general anesthesia because by itself the drug isn't strong enough to keep patients unconscious during surgical procedures. The drug's influence on B vitamins and homocysteine is unrelated to its anesthetic effects.
Nagele and his colleagues followed 500 surgery patients at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis who had been diagnosed with coronary artery disease, heart failure or other health problems that could contribute to a heart attack. All subjects in the study had noncardiac surgery and received nitrous oxide anesthesia.
The patients were divided into two groups. Half received intravenous vitamin B12 and folic acid to help prevent homocysteine levels from rising during surgery. The others did not get the intravenous B vitamins.
"There were no differences between the groups with regard to heart attack risk," Nagele said. "The B vitamins kept homocysteine levels from rising, but that didn't influence heart attack risk."
To detect heart attacks during and after surgery, the researchers monitored a marker of heart damage, cardiac troponin I, for 72 hours. A rise in troponin levels indicates damage to the heart. But they found no link between patients' homocysteine and troponin levels.
The study also looked at gene variations that naturally lead to elevated homocysteine. Individuals with common variants in the MTHFR gene already make excess homocysteine. If people with those variants then get nitrous oxide anesthesia, their levels can climb even higher.
But only 3.1 percent of patients with the high-risk genetic variants had heart attacks during or after surgery, compared with 4.7 percent of the patients who didn't have the risky variants. Neither the gene variation nor treatment with B vitamins had an effect on troponin levels following surgery.
"People who had the gene variant did, indeed, develop very high levels of homocysteine in response to nitrous oxide," Nagele said. So the question is whether those patients would be at a higher risk for heart attack, and that answer is no."
Funding for the VINO trial comes from the National Institute for General Medical Sciences and the National Institute for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It also was supported by a grant from the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research, as well as Roche Diagnostics, which provided high-sensitivity troponin T assays and funding to cover the costs of running those tests but had no role in the design of the study, data collection or analysis or manuscript preparation and submission.
NIH Grant numbers K23 GM087534 and UL1 RR024992.
