OK. Dealer says wait till 6k miles to do 1st oil change.,, well I'm figuring NOT. Just back from a nice trip out west,high speed driving,construction zone trolling etc Sooo w/2875 on the clock I order everything online Pennzoil Ultra 0w-40w 3 cases Amazon K&N HP 2010. I pick up the oil filter wrench at local part store $5.95 for the factory filter ( may use Mopar one next time). Filter wrench makes it easy to take off Magilla Gorilla tighten filter. Used a 4.5gal. Oil tray(no splashing/spilling potential)
Original filter oil ring was stuck to block(make sure you check). Oiled up new filter ring and added some oil to filter. Checked and tighten everything,added exactly 7qts of oil ( checked at 6qts ( fired it up and checked for leaks ZIP) all the way to 7qts. Dip stick registered at 3/4 in safe zone exactly as from factory I'll check again and decide if it needs a few more ounces (I added a couple ounces when new to bring it up to top of safety zone mark. No oil consumption to date.....) I feel better now having changed oil and filter. My 09 SRT Challenger with 12,500 miles has never been back to dealer. Just my oil changes (as it should be)
Re: First oil change
Hah, you went the same route as I did, Amazon, Pennzoil and K&N. I just cannot see 6000 miles on 0W-40 with the sheer amount of heat and compression these 392 Hemi engines put out.
And I can attest to what others have said, that factory oil filter was on there TIGHT and so was the drain plug! Be sure to also look for the oil filter gasket too as Jetcop stated as mine was stuck on the block too.
Re: First oil change
Approx $82 give or take, shipped to my door and after tax (WA state).
Re: First oil change
Penzoil have pulled out of the Australian market for some reason, i am going to ask my mechanic if can source some, but i doubt i will have any luck. What other oils do you guys in the US recommended/suggest?
Re: First oil change
I've read MANY threads and posts on Pennzoil Ultra vs Mobil 1 vs Royal Purple on various Challenger SRT and oil discussion forums. I've read the Blackstone Lab oil quality/findings reports. A lot of negligible animosity and opinion against Royal Purple IMO but the bottom line is that all three are great oils.
I've also been intrigued by the "Hemi tick" threads in perceived correlation to different engine oil brands and/or weights. So I have been keeping an eye open on this particular subject to see if the "increased moly" in the relatively new formulation of Pennzoil's 0W-40 may have been an unpublished attempt to address that issue.
Just for kicks have you asked/tried to price/order a 5 gal unit of Pennzoil 0W-40 Ultra from the Chrysler dealership? I'm not very familiar with trade laws so I apologize in advance if that was a silly question.
I've also read the many many posts and pissing contests on Amsoil and the super long oil change intervals and other related topics of that sort.
I like a few others look at oil change intervals like cheap preventative maintenance. It's not necessarily a required thing to do, but if it makes you feel better and you can afford it, I say just do it for peace of mind.
I'm sure you probably can wait that long with the Ultra, but to me changing the oil and filter on a regular basis is still cheap maintenance. Bottom line is it's your vehicle, you maintain it like you want. Just my opinion...
Re: First oil change
If you use synthetic, and change it less than 6,000 miles, or even 7,000, you are wasting your money on synthetic. Just use regular oil and cut your oil cost in half if you are going to change it less.
I've been around high HP cars for a while, many V8, and seen countless Blackstone Lab analyses on forums that show oil protection is still completely safe at these levels. This is even with turbo'd and SC'd vehicles. The one thing nice about Blackstone is that they keep your info historically, compare your analyses, and even give great feedback and jovial candor in their hand typed write up they do for each analyses. I know of instances with LS2's where they were even able to provide input on potential engine troubles currently occurring that were not known, or on the horizon.
I'll be doing my first oil change in a another 2k miles I want to install the drain valve I picked up at the same time. How should I go about jacking her up since she has the QL I'm not sure it's safe to just put it in offroad 2 lvl and crawl under there? I ask this because I've noticed at times when I have the Jeep parked and off the QL is still working and lowering itself or some crap.
Also when you put oil in the filter is that part of the 7 quarts or extra?

Re: First oil change
i'm another sucker who changes oil to soon but as r/suns & a/noise if it makes you feel good do it, it really is cheap security in my mind some of my first clunkers bought 10th hand had sludge yuk!
Now i just need to trade up from a WJ to a SRT!

text: Souths run Roosters ragged in 28-8 whipping Thu 06 Mar, 2014, 9:45pm By Chris Kennedy, National Correspondent, NRL.com @CKennedy80 Tweet Email Print The highly anticipated 2014 season opener lived up to its billing as the two cross-town Sydney rivals traded a series of massive hits for 80 minutes, with the Rabbitohs eventually claiming a very physical match 28-8 on the back of a Greg Inglis hat-trick.Watch: Rabbitohs v Roosters match highlightsGreg Inglis lauds halves and forwardsRobinson laments Souths' ruck dominanceMan of the Match Burgess a team player: MaguireSonny Bill facing three-weeks banAs it happened: Rabbitohs v Roosters live blogOverall the Rabbitohs dominated possession with a 57 per cent share, ran a whopping 2049 metres compared to the Roosters' 1595. They made five line busts, with the Roosters failing to register even one.The Roosters had to make 105 more tackles than their opponents.The referees showed they will continue their crackdown on shoulder charges with Ben Te'o, Dylan Napa and Sonny Bill Williams among those penalised for the offence.In one major promising sign for the home side new playmaker Dylan Walker showed his full array of skills, including a clever short ball that sent Chris McQueen racing through a gap, a towering bomb that put Roosters fullback Anthony Minichiello under pressure, a classy chip close to the line that forced the Roosters into a goal-line drop-out, and a dart from dummy-half that would have earned a try if not for a trysaving tackle from the Tricolours' custodian.The Rabbitohs had been their own worst enemies in an error-prone first 20 which they were lucky to emerge from down only 6-0.The Roosters opened the scoring with a stunning length-of-the-field piece of play when Daniel Tupou charged towards a loose ball when the Rabbitohs had been on the attack and booted it downfield. He found himself in a footrace with Rabbitohs halfback Adam Reynolds, with Tupou getting there first and again toeing it forward. Reynolds was exceptionally lucky to stay on the field when he then tackled Tupou without the ball but it didn't stop the try as Michel Jennings dived on the ball under the posts to put the Roosters up 6-0. Referee Ben Cummins said at the time Reynolds would have been sin-binned if the Roosters hadn't scored from that play.The Bunnies hit back just past the 20-minute mark when a Sam Burgess offload put Adam Reynolds in space and Pearce was penalised for holding onto Reynolds in the subsequent tackle, which put the Rabbitohs on the attack.Greg Inglis barged over in the corner at the end of that set, pushing off Minichiello, and Reynolds added the extras to level the scores.The next 20 minutes through to half-time saw a barrage of big hits dished out from both sides courtesy of Sam Burgess, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Dylan Napa and Ben Te'o in particular, with the latter two giving up penalties for shoulder charges and Te'o (perhaps unluckily) finding himself on report.The penalties were flowing thick and fast after the resumption with the count, which had favoured the Rabbitohs 6-2 at half time, quickly becoming 6-all.On the back of that the Roosters were able to pull ahead 8-6 after using one of those infringements to take the shot at goal but Souths had the better of the remainder of the match as their huge forward pack dominated the Roosters through the middle.The Rabbitohs earned a full set on the Roosters' line around the 50-minute mark after a Roosters error, then another repeat set when they forced the Roosters back into their in-goal. The pressure finally told when Inglis raced onto a Te'o offload to score his second under the posts and make it 12-8.The Rabbitohs continued to dominate possession and the penalty count with Reynolds taking two shots at goal to extend the lead to 16-8.Bryson Goodwin scored the try that put the result beyond doubt when he latched onto a clever John Sutton cross-field chip to make it 22-8, then Inglis put the icing on the cake with his third try coming inside the final two minutes, again proving too strong close to the line.In injury news, two Rabbitohs - McQueen and Walker - left the field on crutches after picking up ankle injuries during the match.

Leaders of the United States Postal Service are going forward with cost-cutting measures—without Congress' approval.
The Postal Service Board of Governors approved restructuring measures and instructed leaders to revise its 2012 five-year comprehensive plan to account for current financial and liquidity conditions, according to a USPS news release.
The 112th Congress adjourned without passing Postal Service reform that would help the institution allow for flexibility in the USPS business model and make changes to save money.
For example, leaders have discussed congressional approval on a five-day delivery, which would save the USPS more than $3 billion a year, according to Nooga.com archives.
Leaders recently reported that the USPS is losing $25 million a day.
Earlier this month, the Postal Service Board of Governors talked about a wide range of "accelerated cost-cutting and revenue generating measures," according to a USPS news release.
Leaders cited the fact that they can't wait indefinitely for legislation, so the board directed management to go on with the restructure of the USPS operations.
USPS leaders are now implementing cost-reduction efforts throughout its retail, delivery and mail-processing operations, according to the release.
USPS spokesman David Partenheimer said that leaders will have specific details about the cost-cutting measures as soon as possible.
"Our senior leadership team is currently updating our five-year business plan as directed by the Board of Governors," he said via email. "When completed, we will first provide details to our employees and then make the updated plans public."
Since 2006, USPS leaders have reduced annual costs by about $15 billion and cut the career workforce by 24 percent. That's 168,000 people.
Leaders said that, despite the cuts, USPS has still delivered record levels of service to customers.
"Despite achieving record growth in its package business and stabilization of other revenues, the Postal Service continues to operate with an inflexible business model that hinders its ability to be self-sufficient," according to the news release.
The USPS ended the 2012 fiscal year with a record net loss of $15.9 billion and has been struggling the past two years, defaulting on mandated payments to prefund employee health benefits and facing declining amounts of first-class mail, which has been a big revenue boost in the past.
"The Postal Service continues to seek legislation to provide it with greater flexibility to control costs and generate new revenue and encourages the 113th Congress to make postal reform legislation an urgent priority," according to the release.
Updated @ 10:54 a.m. on 1/24/13 to add more information as it became available.

Billy Ray Cyrus Tweets Response After Miley's VMA Twerk-Circus
I was going to re-post the video of Miley Cyrus and her over-the-top performance of Sunday night. But by now I'm sure you've seen it even if you weren't watching the MTV Video Music Awards, and honestly, we don't need to sit through the agony again.
But, Miley's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, took to Twitter after the awards to support his daughter and say how great of a night it was. I thought he would have had an "Achy Breaky Heart", not this kind of response:
Thanking God for so many blessings tonight. Continue to pray for world peace. More love …less hate.
— Billy Ray Cyrus (@billyraycyrus) August 26, 2013
World peace? He must have gotten quite a lot of negative comments about Miley or something to say something like that. Interesting…

I really regret lying to beast , I started to think what if he is like TWD Kenny ? he'll find out that I lied eventually ...
I regret going to Toad's first and I regret intimidating Toad instead of catching him in his lies. Obviously I had a second (not as canon :P) playthrough in the second save-file where I played the nice guy and rectified all of this.
And then I had a mean guy play through, boy was that one fun.
There are so many decisions I couldn't help not doing several of them. I think the tearing of the arm won't have a huge effect in the next episode, especially if you went after Woody. I never changed the first and third chapters. The only thing I did regret was not talking to Snow White while I was at Toad's apartment. I always went to Lawrence first and saved him by chasing Dee.
I regret slapping toad when he was not telling the truth, i also regret hitting woody with a glass when he was talking about his past.
This comment may contain spoilers!
I had to play the game through twice. Once tying to be a nice guy, save the prince and that only fights when I need to like myself and I didn't rip of grendal's arm. The other a dick to everyone I knew deserved it, lied to beast, and save tj from getting hurt without scaring him . I have to say ripping grendal's arm was satisfying in the end.
In my original play-through, I regretted not going to Lawrence's first when I discovered he was dead - even more so when I got to the end and discovered I could've saved him. I immediately started my replay, and am now pleased with my choices.
I don't regret giving Faith the money - Even though she ends up dead regardless, I still think it was a good choice.
I don't regret lying to Beast - I feel comfortable keeping Beauty's secret, even if I don't know what it is. I don't think she'd ever do anything to outrightly hurt him. Even if it is another Faith-Lawrence situation, I still think the right choice is be on her side.
I don't regret not tearing out Grendel's Arm - He may be a dick, but I just didn't see why the fight needed to go there, especially since my dialogue choice we more indicative of just trying to ignore him and pursue the investigation with Woody.
I don't regret going after Dee - Honestly? I never thought that Woody had anything he could tell me. At best, I thought he could maybe tell me something by accident, but I don't think he knows what is and isn't useful to my character in this investigation, and I don't think he'd tell me on purpose even if he could. Dee, on the other hand, i thought would be a much more promising well of knowledge. Not only did I not know why he was involved in this whole mess, but he seemed to be the better shot at catching my killer.
Scenario options that tie in are as follows: Going to Toad first and threaten him after choosing someone was attacked, reacting to lap-dog, tearing Gren's arm, going after Woody. Going to Lawrence first, saying that's not true to Gren and telling him not call Snow that, walking away, tell Woody "He started it" to his question on treatment, go after Dee.
i started to play on a virtual machine, so i can use snapshots and go back to try out every decision possible, derp

Photodynamic therapy uses molecules which, when irradiated with
light, cause irreparable damage to cells by creating toxic forms of
oxygen, called reactive oxygen species.
< Dr Ross Boyle
Most PDT works with individual light-sensitive molecules – but
the new nanoparticles could each carry hundreds of molecules to a
cancer site.
A number of different light-sensitive molecules – collectively
known as photosensitisers – are used in PDT and each absorbs a very
specific part of the light spectrum. The research team – from the
University of Hull's Department of Chemistry - placed one kind of
photosensitiser inside each nanoparticle and another on the
outside, which meant that far more reactive oxygen species could be
created from the same amount of light. The findings are published
in the current issue of Molecular Pharmaceutics.
The nanoparticles have also been designed to be the perfect size
and shape to penetrate easily into the tumour, as lead researcher,
Dr Ross Boyle, explains.
"Small cancer tumours get nutrients and oxygen by diffusion, but
once tumours reach a certain size, they need to create blood
vessels to continue growing, " he says. "These new blood vessels,
or neovasculature, are 'leaky' because the vessel walls are not as
tightly knit as normal blood vessels. Our nanoparticles have been
designed so the pressure in the blood vessels will push them
through the space between the cells to get into the tumour
The nanoparticles are made from a material that limits the
leaching of its contents while in the bloodstream, but when
activated with light, at the tumour, the toxic reactive oxygen
species can diffuse freely out of the particles; meaning that
damage is confined to the area of the cancer.
The researchers tested the nanoparticles on colon cancer cells,
and while they were able to penetrate the cells, they also found
that the nanoparticles could still be effective when near – rather
than inside – the cancer cells.
"Some types of cancer cell are able to expel conventional drugs,
>so if we can make this kind of therapy work simply by getting
the nanoparticles between the cancer cells, rather than inside
them, it could be very beneficial," says Dr Boyle.

Vladimir Putin tougher than Chuck Norris?
(NEWSER) – Somehow, despite all the time he spends shooting whales, catching humongous fish, drunkenly arm wrestling, beating hockey legends on the ice, dressing up like a bird and flying through the skies, and, of course, painting, Vladimir Putin still found time to achieve the highest possible rank in taekwondo.
The Russian president visited South Korea recently and was honored with a ninth-degree black belt from the president of the World Taekwondo Federation, the BBC reports, citing Russian media.
That honor is higher than famed martial artist Chuck Norris' greatest taekwondo accomplishment.

Flat and Fabulous
The andouille and tasso flatbread ($9.50) at Bistro Alex (800 West Sam Houston Pkwy. in the Hotel Sorella, 713-827-3545), owned by the Brennan family, is one of those dishes that you wish would never end. A riff on an ultra-thin-crust pizza, it remains crisp until the very last morsel. The kitchen cuts up the flatbread into four quarters and stacks them with cubes of smoky andouille sausage and tasso (spicy smoked pork), slices of scallions (which add a certain sweetness), and mustard greens (which add a bitterness). Shavings of manchego cheese, melted over the top, add the perfect cheese flavor.

Pipeline Welding & Fabrication
As the need for specialty steel pipe grows, higher steel grades and bigger wall thicknesses are introducing new challenges to pipe welding and fabrication shops. Here are some of the latest advances in welding equipment and fabrication tools that can help these shops gain and maintain a competitive advantage.
The company also offers introduces a low-alloy stick electrode to the SMAW Pipeliner® Portfolio – Pipeliner® Arc 80, designed for root pass welding up to X80-grade pipe, and fill and cap pass welding for X70-grade pipe. Pipeliner Arc 80 is classified as E8010-G and E8010-P1 per AWS, and has the same AWS classification as Shield-Arc®70+ and Pipeliner8P+, without the intentional addition of boron. This allows for a variety of choices based upon the application and operator needs. Key features include:
- High productivity in vertical down and out-of-position pipe welding
- Deep penetration
- Q2 Lot® control showing actual deposited chemistry
- Clean, visible weld puddle

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. (Appleton, WI) introduces the ProHeat™ 35 Rolling Inductor — a highly efficient, industry-first induction technology for preheating in rolled pipe welding applications. When connected to the Miller ProHeat 35 induction heating power source, this system provides pipe fabrication shops with increased productivity, improved safety and consistency in heating.
An overview and demonstration of how the ProHeat™ 35 Rolling Inductor from Miller Electric operates.
"Many ASME-certified shops weld pipe spools for the refinery, petrochemical, power and HVAC industries and the majority of those jobs are roll welded for improved productivity, said Kristi Endries, the heating solutions specialist for Miller Electric. "However, rotating pipe while welding limits a welding operator's options for preheating and maintaining interpass temperatures to non-electrical methods, such as flame. The ProHeat 35 Rolling Inductor solves these issues by combining the benefits of rotating pipe and electrical preheating into one."
Pipe assemblies that are chrome alloy, heavy wall or stored in cold environments require preheating because of code and quality control requirements. Jobs that benefit from rolling induction technology include applications using carbon steel that is colder than 50 deg F, carbon steel over 1 in thick; or any chrome alloy steels. Compact and portable to configure around various pipe sizes throughout the shop, the ProHeat 35 Rolling Inductor is highly efficient and extremely accurate for increased productivity. Quick time to temperature increases production times while reducing consumable costs and labor expenses. This non-contact method of heating while rolling the pipe assembly also eliminates wrapping cables and allows for continuous fabrication.
The ProHeat 35 Rolling Inductor and its hinged arm are mounted on a standard pipe stand, allowing the welder operator to easily align the induction head on the top or side of the pipe. The power source then recognizes the attachment, so users must only set maximum output and time. The Rolling Inductor can easily be removed from or put back on to the pipe, mirroring the simplicity of turning a torch on or off. Because the ProHeat 35 Rolling Inductor sits directly on the rotating pipe and provides steady, continuous output, hot and cold spots are eliminated, minimizing risks of weld failure due to cracking.
The Rolling Inductor greatly improves efficiency versus flame heating, because the heat is generated within the part. Direct heat transfer also results in a cooler shop environment and reduced fume levels. Elimination of open flames significantly reduces burn potential and welder fatigue, as well as the need to store explosive gases used for heating. In addition to induction technology used while rolling pipe, the ProHeat 35 power source is capable of other applications including hydrogen bake out, shrink fit and post-weld heat treatment.
Miller Electric Mfg. Co., headquartered in Appleton, is a leading worldwide manufacturer of Miller brand arc welding products and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW).

Sumner Manufacturing Co., Inc. (Houston, TX) offers the Ultra Qwik Clamp and Ultra Qwik Fit that are based on the highly popular Ultra Clamp and Ultra Fit tools for pipe-to-pipe, pipe-to-fitting, pipe-to-flange and fitting-to-fitting pipe welding fit-ups. Both the Ultra Qwik Clamp and Ultra Qwik Fit feature push-button thread adjustment, a feature that allows users to quickly size-adjust the clamps with the push of a button.
A demonstration and overview of the Ultra Qwik Clamp for Pipes from Sumner.
Holding the push-button in on the tool housing frees the threading to be adjusted at will to the correct size. Releasing the button allows the user to fine adjust and tighten the tools in the same manner as the Ultra Clamp and Ultra Fit. The push button thread adjustment feature was successfully introduced with Sumner's Hold-E pipe clamp for standard vee head jack stands.
The Ultra Qwik Clamp and Ultra Qwik Fit accommodate three sizes of pipe: 1 in to 2-1/2in (25 mm to 65 mm), 2 in to 6 in (50 mm to 150 mm) and 5 in to 12 in (127 mm to 300 mm). The Ultra Qwik Clamp and Ultra Qwik Fit have the same lightweight design and a rugged frame built for job site use as the Ultra Clamp and Ultra Fit. Stainless steel alignment screws at all contact points hold fittings in place and allow for fine adjustment. Smooth roller clamping action enables positive gripping and the operating handle repositions for close work. Fit-up settings can be maintained for repeat fit-ups.
Sumner has also upgraded their lightweight, portable and easily assembled all-aluminum GH2T Gantry Lift. The GH2T Gantry lift has a lift capacity of up to 2 metric tons (4,400 lb) and is available in four Imperial sizes (8 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft and 15 ft) and three Metric sizes (3 m, 4 m and 5 m). Upgrades to the GH2T Gantry include A-frame legs that lock in opened or closed position utilizing a push-button release and casters with foot brake that lock at 90 deg angles. The new design of the A-frame assembly eliminates the need for a locking cross bar to hold legs in the open position.
A demonstration of the assembly of the Sumner GH2T Gantry lift.
The trolley features a set screw that when tightened to the beam holds it in place during assembly, and a convenient positioning handle. The trolley weighs approximately 15 lb (6.8 kg). Cross beams come in seven sizes (8 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft and 15 ft; 3 m, 4 m and 5 m) and have nylon carrying handles at both ends. Both 5 m and 15 ft beams feature two span adjustments on either end of 13 in (33 cm). The 8 ft beams have no span adjustments. The GH2T Gantry assembly is specifically designed to be erected by a two-man crew.
Minimum and maximum heights from ground to lifting eye are 83 in (2.1 m) and 113 in (2.8 m) respectively. Maximum height to the top of the trolley is 113.5 in (3.4 m). The maximum width of the A-frame when erected is 60.75 in (1.54 m). The stored height of the A-frame is 100 in (2.5 m). Gantry models weigh between 285 lb and 331 lb (146.5 kg and 129.2 kg).
The company also offers the Sumner Fat Jack with beefier construction, including 1-1/4 in square tube base construction and double 3/8 in diameter locking pins. This improved construction, along with the existing 12-1/2 in (31.8 cm) wide ribbed vee head, increases this folding jack's capacity from 2,500 lb (1,135 kg) to 5,000 lb (2,270 kg). The Fat Jack is also available with a roller head that maintains a capacity of 2,500 lb (1,135 kg).
Founded in 1965 in Houston, Sumner Manufacturing has served the welding and mechanical contracting industry for nearly a half century, creating high quality material lifts, jack stands, pipe fit-up clamps, welding tools, and material carts that are currently used daily in more than 50 countries around the world in numerous industries.

6S41S P-P Amp Initial Query
I recently scored a few pieces of 6S4S with the intention of making a P-P amp, but recently some posts about the 6S41S got my attention. This is still a reasonably priced tube, with higher plate dissipation than the 6S4S. Not as high a plate capability as the 300B, but I can buy a whole boatload of 6S41S for the price of even the cheapest 300B. Anyway, I've seen some SE schematics for the 6S41S, but no P-P. Any leads? I'll probably end up doing my own thing, but it's still nice to see what others have done.
Suitable iron is another question. I have some Fisher 500B output transformers, but I kinda doubt that the impedance is all that suitable for a tube with this low of an rp. I was thinking of running lower voltage, higher current, with an 8 ohm load on the 16 ohm tap of the transformer. Is this an an optimal usage of the 500C transformer (I have no idea how the secondaries are wound). I'm also not comfortable with the amount of negative bias is takes to make the 6S41S go "whoa, horsey!" at the higher plate voltages, another reason for a somewhat lower plate supply (though with a custom SMPS, anything is possible).
On another note, I have heard that the tube to tube variability can be a problem. Comments?

I can see the reason why tubes that are not good for SE may be good for PP, but...
Speaking of the tube to tube variability, it is true for all Russian tubes, cars, trucks, etc...

There is some debate as to whether the tube is good for SE sdome people have loved it, and one hated it. As far as P-P applicability, I'm looking at it right now on a volts/amps/watts basis.
Thanks for the link - I'll try to find a translator that can make some sense out of the page.

Come out and say it. Do you think this is a bad tube, and if so, why?

However, the driver for this tube needs corresponding, but you know better than anybody else how to use MOSFETs.

Not really a weird question, as two people thought the tube was good in SE, and one thought it was awful (or at least, not so good). In the Russian page you referenced (Google gave me a somewhat fanciful translation - I smiled), the author used the tubes with a rather severe transformer impedance (1.7k if I remember correctly). From my calculations so far, I think something in the 3.3-3.5k range will deliver useful power. This also allows me to experiment using some of the iron I have on hand, at least in the preliminary stages of the project. I've decided that I've bought my last output transformer for a while, as I just received another pair of Fisher 500C transformers this week, as well as a pair of transformers that came from a Knight 6BQ5-based amp. I now have quite enough stuff to play with for the time being.
I had an inspiration this afternoon, and I'm going to try a really heretical approach - a switching cathode bias supply. Finally, an audio app where I can use one of my employer's SMPS chips. I won't spill the beans about this circuit until I have it breadboarded, but it will be interesting, and will no doubt elicit howls of protest (or at least a huh?) from the anti-sand purists. It may also prove useful for people biasing low-mu triodes that need both high voltage at the cathode, plus a high quiescent bias current. I really hate blowing 8-9 watts in a resistor (actually twice that if you use a common bias source for both output tubes).
Given that I am using cathode bias, I may back off from using all-sand followers to drive the output tube grids, but instead use a pair of triode/pentode duals in a differential amp/splitter and cathode follower topology. A pentode differential stage followed by cathode followers should give me enough drive to tickle the output tubes.

Going from PWM cathode bias you may end up with high frequency output transformer and synchronous rectifier after it.

Not really - I know where to stop. Wait 'till I actually do the breadboard and post the circuit. It's not all that radical in complexity, but does some fairly radical things in reducing power dissipation for big triodes with cathode bias (Now, if I could get rid of that pesky filament, we'd really have something).
Actually, I have an idea about that as well, but it's much harder to bring to reality. If it worked, it would drastically increase the efficiency of your average tube, but at the same time, demote the tube to the same status of just another part that gets loaded into a PCB.
I don't know about you, but the romance factor of tubes (glass envelopes, glowing filaments, maybe a touch of blue fluorescence for dessert) is one of the things that make them so fun to play with. I'd like to extend their useful lifetime into the next century, but if they look the same as any other lah-di-lah part that gets loaded into a board, where's the fun?

"I'm going to try a really heretical approach - a switching cathode bias supply"
HF inductor in the cathode path, pulsed grid pos. bias + input signal, continuous analog tube conduction. Or maybe HF inductor in the plate, pulsed grid pos. bias + input signal, discontinous tube conduction but continous plate inductor current. Analog pulse height switchmode instead of PWM? Seems that would have limited dynamic range without pulse width control too. Norman Crowhurst's last article in Glass Audio was for a circuit that combined analog to pulse height and width modulation. He never got to finished part 2 unfortunately. A revolution shorted out.
There are a couple of technologies that could put a tube into a ceramic chip package. One is the nano-rod cold field emission cathode, the other is the titanium thin film tunneling emitter. Graphene grid maybe. Or laser perforated thin film grid. Very good current densities, no filament. Low voltage operation. Hard to get funds though with Mosfets around.

text: Al Messerschmidt Perry Leads Bulls over Crimson Tide 66-64 December 08, 2013 By USF Related Links Box Score Season Stats Photo Album Sign Up For Free Email Updates TAMPA – Behind a double-double by freshman forward Chris Perry, the University of South Florida men's basketball team took control late and held on for a 66-64 win over Alabama Saturday night at the Sun Dome. "I'm really proud of the guys," said USF coach Stan Heath. "We battled, we fought. We were able to withstand some of their runs. We got some outstanding production from a number of guys." Trailing by four points with 10:34 remaining, the Bulls (6-2) went on a 13-2 run over the next 5:15 to take a 55-48 lead. The Crimson Tide (4-4) scored the next four points to cut the lead to 55-52 with 3:56 to play before a three-pointer by senior forward Victor Rudd and a layup by Chris Perry pushed the Bulls to their largest lead of the game, 60-52 with 2:31 remaining. Perry finished with 14 points, on 6-of-10 shooting, and 14 rebounds, his second consecutive double-double. It was the first time a Bulls player had back-to-back double-doubles since Rudd accomplished the feat last January at UCF (1/2) and against Syracuse (1/6). "Chris Perry was terrific tonight," Heath said. "Just his inside play and rebounding and his inside presence was something that we needed. In the last two games, our rebounding has been a key stat." The game was close down the stretch with the USF lead never more than four points in the final 1:19. The Bulls went 6-of-8 from the free throw line over that time including a 5-of-6 effort from junior guard Anthony Collins who finished with seven points and nine assists. With the Bulls leading by two points and 10 seconds to play, Alabama attempted three shots in its final possession. First, a layup by Levi Randolph was swatted away by USF's John Egbunu. The rebound then went to an open Shannon Hale who missed a three-pointer. The rebound went back to Randolph whose jumper along the baseline was off target. USF won the rebounding battle 39-31 and outshot Alabama 43.4 percent to 39.0 percent. Egbunu finished the game with seven points, six rebounds and three blocks. He has blocked at least one shot in every game of his young career. Rudd recorded a team-high 15 points and seven rebounds. The Bulls will have nine days without a game before hosting Florida Gulf Coast on December 17 at 7 p.m. as part of the Las Vegas Classic.

Climate Landmark Is a Grave Warning Sign
Posted on May 11, 2013
Humanity on Friday passed a milestone on the way to planetary destruction when monitoring stations registered 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide spread throughout the atmosphere.
"The last time so much greenhouse gas was in the air," The Guardian reports, "was several million years ago, when the Arctic was ice-free, savannah spread across the Sahara desert and sea level was up to 40 metres higher than today." Those conditions are expected to return if governments and global businesses do not severely and rapidly curtail the amount of CO2 being dumped into the atmosphere by the burning of coal, oil and gas.
"It is symbolic, a point to pause and think about where we have been and where we are going," said professor Ralph Keeling, who oversees the measurements on a Hawaiian volcano. "It's like turning 50: it's a wake up to what has been building up in front of us all along."
Professor Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said: "The passing of this milestone is a significant reminder of the rapid rate at which—and the extent to which—we have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. ... At the beginning of industrialisation the concentration of CO2 was just 280ppm. We must hope that the world crossing this milestone will bring about awareness of the scientific reality of climate change and how human society should deal with the challenge."

I am a print designer with minimal web skills and I am trying to sort out a half decent website for myself.
Anyway before buying some templates I thought I'd practice on personalising a template by playing with this month's free file which is a v-card.
Anyway my husband who's a webmaster with a multi-national corporate company could not see the point of a html v-card. Could someone put me right and tell me who would use them? Would you have a link from your website to a v-card? How would people access them and use them. Are the only people who would bother with them people with i-phones?
A lot of people asked me same questions. A V -Card is just a design like others. It's a full functional website in a minimalistic look to present only the necessary informations. I have a client who bought my V-Card Fissure template. He is an artist and doesn't want such a big portfolio. He needed just something elegant to show his work and to get in contact with him.
So if you just need to show your clients some of your work or tell them a little bit about you then a V-Card is a good choice.

Trane Heat Pump Problems (heat instead of cool)
I have a Trane XE1000 TWR036C100A Heat Pump from about 1998 with electric aux. heat. The blower motor was replaced in the summer of 2009 and I replaced the thermostat with an electronic one in the fall of 2009. Receintly the compressor fan was replaced and a new capacitor was installed (old split cap still connected to compressor). That information was mainly for background. When I turned the A/C on it ran for a long time and increased the house temperature to 80+ degrees (no cooling). I opened the outside unit and noticed a brown wire from T1 on the defrost control board (CNT1923) was not connected. It was hanging down by the other low voltage connectors coming from the inside unit (5 connections matching wire color - Red, Yellow, Black, Blue, Orange - White, Green, and Brown not used) but not obvious where it should go - possibly knocked loose when the pannel was opened or motor replaced? I figured it should be connected to one of the other low voltage connections since nothing else is near by (maybe orange wire for cool changeover or blue for common). Where should the T1 wire from the control board be connected to if the low voltage brown T wire not used from the thermostat. I was thinking the reversing valve was not not engaging to enable cooling and it is possibly related to the unconnected wire. I have pictures and all part numbers if needed.
Leave the T wire disconnected and taped off. Did you test the unit operation when you replaced the thermostat? Is this the first time you are using your a/c, since you installed the new thermostat last fall? If so, I would double check your wiring and make sure you bought the correct thermostat.
I agree with Pomelo, the most likely cause is a misconfigured, incorrectly wired, or incorrect stat.
What stat do you now have installed?
If you have had cooling since the installation of your new stat...
Do you have 24VAC between R and O with a cooling demand?
The A/C had been working but it has been a colder than average winter in Austin so it hasn't been on in awhile. The compresser and fan come on but just blow hot air. I will need to check the voltage tomorrow. It is strange that the brown wire is hanging down near the other wires with no connector and isn't taped off and obviously was stripped for connection to something. The other unused wires are not stripped. Any other suggestions since my responses may be time delayed. I can attach pictures if needed. Is the T1 brown wire not used in my configuration outside (I know the inside wire isn't connected to anything but figured the outside one might be connected internally). Thanks for the help.

I forget the model of the thermostat but I can look it up when I get home. It is a new white rodgers blue touch screen programmable that handles heat pumps with emergency/aux heat connections.
Forget about the tan wire; it has nothing to do with your problem. Just tape it off. If you have a meter, it would be easier to troubleshoot.
You can try and diagnose it without one.
First, you need to see if it actually is in the heat cycle. Turn the t-stat to cool and lower the set point. Feel the larger copper pipe exiting the unit (where the service valves are). Is it hot?
-If yes, then it is in the heat cycle.
Check the coil on the reversing valve. It should be making a humming noise. You can remove the coil from the valve. You should feel resistance when pulling it off the solenoid. Stick a screw driver inside the coil. You should feel the magnetic field.
Your reversing valve could be stuck, but I would look for other things first. I would look at your old paper work to see if you purchased a heat pump stat.
The factory setting is probably not heat pump on your new stat.
It should be HP1 (depending on your model number).
Post your stat model number if you cannot locate the manual and verify the configuration setting.
That tan wire was for for your old baystat and is not required, or supported, by your new stat.
This is a 1F95-1271 example. Color codes vary, and you will not use the B, Y2, or L terminals.
I'm on kind of a strange schedule so my replys will be a little delayed. Thanks fot the info so far - I appreciate it. I am an Engineer so I feel pretty comfortable working with meters and electricity. I'm pretty sure the thermostat is programmed properly (it is a White Rodgers 1F95-1277 and set for HP and Electric - I can send other settings if you need them). I tested the outside unit today (it was about 70 outside) and in Cool mode - the reversing valve was humming, the fan was blowing cool air up and out, the large copper tubing was hot and the small one was slightly warm, and the air inside was hot. I measured 24+ volts on the Red, Orange, and Yellow wires which you would expect for Cool (Orange - Yellow for the Compressor). I also measured 24+ volts across the reversing valve. I am pretty sure the A/C worked last fall when it was warmer but it hasn't been on all winter. The outside fan was just changed 2 weeks ago so I assume it happened at that time but I can't prove that. Is there any way swapping out the fan with the same model and adding a new capacitor for the fan (changed from 5 to 7.5 so the new one was jumpered from the old split cap that is still connected to the compresser from the common and the two fan wires were connected to the new cap)? Any other tests or info would be greatly appreciated and hopefully this weekend I can work on it.
Large copper line hot with 24 volts to the reversing valve means the reversing valve is stuck in the heating position. Repairs are going to be expensive, probably 25-30% of the cost of replacing the whole unit.
Did you try to remove the coil and try my test procedure? If you can feel the magnetic field, your reversing valve is stuck. You can try and break it free, but it will more than likely get stuck again. Disconnect one of the leads off of the coil then reconnect it. Do this multiple times with the unit running. You should hear it engage each time. Get a rubber mallet and tap on the reversing valve body. Do not hit it with excessive force. You will notice when it changes over. It makes a distinctive sound. Let it run in the cooling mode for a few minutes then switch it back to heat by removing the leads. Reversing valves are more difficult than compressor change outs, so you will be paying a lot in labor. I have only changed them under warranty. Usually, a person will opt for a new unit, if it is no longer under warranty.
Sorry for the late response. I did test the coil and it seems to be working. It was humming and I could disconnect a lead and reconnect it and it would click. I also tested the screwdriver in the coil and there was a magnetic field. But it still seems to be stuck. I will have someone come out and get a quote for how much it will be to replace the valve unless someone else has any suggestions. Thanks again for the information.
Is it possible the coil isn't strong enough to cause the reversing valve to change? Is there a better way to prove the reversing valve is bad.
My Solution
I had the same problem with my trane unit. model# wcy036f100ac. The trick to solving this problem for me was to make sure the settings were correct on my new thermostat. I just had to set heat pump mode and ob energized to cool and my problem was solved. The trane unit I have doesn't work correctly with any other settings.

Hi, Hope you are well. I would like to know the total cost and breakdown of implementing the "war on drugs" specifically to the use of hemp in ireland. How much does it cost in terms of keeping convicted criminals in prison, cost resources to the gardai to implement the law, the cost of dealing with hemp related cases in the courts, promotion and education to people regarding the misuse of hemp, the cost to hospital care of treatment of those addicted to hemp. Best regards, Brian Boru
24/01/2013 - 11:30
Dear Sir,
I am directed by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence, Mr. Alan Shatter T.D.,
to reply to your recent e-mail concerning the estimated total costs associated with national drug policy. On behalf of the Minister I can advise you of the following. The problem of drug misuse in Ireland is tackled in a coordinated and integrated way under the National Drugs Strategy 2009-2016 which was developed following a very broad and open public process of consultation across the country. The Strategy seeks to address the harm caused to individuals and society by drug misuse by tackling the problem in a comprehensive and integrated way by implementing what is known as a pillar based approach which incorporates a wide range of drug supply reduction, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and research measures. The Strategy is being delivered, under the stewardship of Minister of State at the Department of Health Alex White T.D., by a range of Government Departments and agencies and in partnership with the community and voluntary drug treatment sectors. The involvement of this Department and that of An Garda Síochána under the Strategy is primarily (although not solely) concerned with the drug supply reduction pillar.
The range of actions set out in the Strategy, of which there are 63, continues to facilitate a planned and monitored approach to achieving the overall strategic objective and aims of our national drug policy.
While data of the nature sought concerning expenditure in this area broken down against individual controlled substances such as cannabis is not readily available what may be of assistance to you is the expenditure data which is periodically collated by the Department of Health, in its capacity as the lead Department with responsibility for the National Drugs Strategy.
This exercise is undertaken for the purpose of determining the estimated overall expenditure by Government Departments and agencies which can be deemed to be directly attributable to drugs related programmes. The attached table provides details of the expenditure data, as provided to the Department of Health, for the period 2008-2011 inclusive in respect of costs incurred by this Department and by the wider criminal justice sector in this regard. As you will appreciate, it is difficult to provide figures that would be any more precise than an estimate of total expenditure as all of the relevant bodies will, as part of their day to day work, spend time and resources dealing with drug related issues.
Estimate of expenditure attributable to Drugs related
programmes 2008-2011 (Criminal Justice Sector)
|Department/ |2008 |2009 |2010 |2011 |

|Service | | | | |
|An Garda |44.400 |45.004 |44.500 |45.014 |
|Síochána | | | | |
|Irish Prison |5.000 |5.000 |5.200 |5.200 |
|Service | | | | |
* Please note that as of 1 January 2011 a number of community based projects previously under the auspices of the Probation Service were transferred to be under the remit of the Irish Youth Justice Service with an accompanying transfer of funding.
Finally, further information with regard to the National Drugs Strategy is available on the Department of Health's website at http://www.dohc.ie/about_us/divisions/drugs_policy_unit.html
I trust that the above is of assistance.
Yours sincerely
Private Secretary to the
Minister for Justice and Equality

"About 60 percent of the patients we see in the Alzheimer's clinics have at least one copy of APOE 4,"
Scientists' picture of how a gene strongly linked to Alzheimer's disease harms the brain may need to be revised.
People with harmful forms of the APOE gene have up to 12 times the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared with those who have other variations of the gene.
Many researchers believe that the memory loss and cognitive problems of Alzheimer's result from the buildup over many years of brain amyloid plaques. The plaques are made mostly of a sticky substance called amyloid beta.
For years, researchers have thought that the APOE gene increases Alzheimer's risk by producing a protein that binds to amyloid beta. Scientists thought that this bond could make it easier for plaques to form.
But a new study shows that APOE and amyloid beta don't bind together in cerebrospinal fluid and in fluids present outside cells grown in dishes.

Vietnam reporter and historian Karnow dies in Maryland at age 87
By Hillel Italie, AP Tuesday, January 29, 2013, 11:41 am TWN
Stanley Karnow, the award-winning author and journalist who wrote a definitive book about the Vietnam War, worked on an accompanying documentary and later won a Pulitzer Prize for a history of the Philippines, died Sunday morning. He was 87.
Karnow, who had congestive heart failure, died in his sleep at his home in Potomac, Maryland, said son Michael Karnow.
A Paris-based correspondent for Time magazine early in his career, Karnow was assigned in 1958 to Hong Kong as bureau chief for Southeast Asia and soon arrived in Vietnam, when the American presence was still confined to a small core of advisers. In 1959, Karnow reported on the first two American deaths in Vietnam, not suspecting that tens of thousands would follow.
Into the 1970s, Karnow would cover the war off and on for Time, The Washington Post and other publications and then draw upon his experience for an epic Public Broadcasting Service documentary and for the million-selling "Vietnam: A History," published in 1983 and widely regarded as an essential, even-handed summation.
Karnow's "In Our Image," a companion to a PBS documentary on the Philippines, won the Pulitzer in 1990. His other books included "Mao and China," which in 1973 received a National Book Award nomination, and "Paris in The Fifties," a memoir published in 1997.
A fellow Vietnam reporter, Morley Safer, would describe Karnow as the embodiment of "the wise old Asian hand." Karnow was known for his precision and research — his Vietnam book reaches back to ancient times — and his willingness to see past his own beliefs. He was a critic of the Vietnam War (and a name on President Richard M. Nixon's enemies list) who still found cruelty and incompetence among the North Vietnamese. His friendship with Philippines leader Corazon Aquino did not stop him from criticizing her presidency.
Bernard Kalb, a journalist, former State Department spokesman and longtime friend who met Karnow when they were both working in Hong Kong in the 1950s, said Karnow described journalism as the only profession "in which you can be an adolescent all your life."
"You never lose your enthusiasm and the depths of curiosity to engage with the world. That's what it means," Kalb told The Associated Press on Sunday. "Stanley took those particular drives of adolescence all through his life."

AMES, Iowa – Juggling work schedules, kids' commitments and the family budget may make some parents wonder if a family vacation is worth the effort. But before giving up, consider this: the kids might learn something from the experience. During June, family life specialists examine this proposition in the Science of Parenting blog from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"Families take vacations for many reasons – to spend time together, have some fun, or rest and relax," said family life specialist Donna Donald. "However, these opportunities to visit other people and places and see something new can boost your child's academic achievement."
Donald and family life specialist Lori Hayungs will take a close look into the benefits of family vacations.
"We'll look at national research about the relationship of family vacations and how well children perform in school. We'll talk about how to plan a vacation and involve parents and children in decisions. We'll also share favorite family vacation stories," Hayungs said.
Learn more from tips on the blog throughout the month and in a four-minute podcast. Through the Science of Parenting, www.scienceofparenting.org, ISU Extension and Outreach specialists share and discuss research-based information and resources to help parents rear their children. Parents can join in the conversation and share thoughts and experiences, as well as how they handle parenting responsibilities.
